NOVEL WEB Chapter 212 Coral Guard (page 12)
The tenth floor of the Immortal Maze.
As the adventurers arrived at the edge of the shoal, the water was already up to their waists.
Looking through the water in front of you, it feels like you are on the edge of a cliff. If you take another step, you will fall into a bottomless abyss!
"This..." Several people hesitated.
If the water is clear, it will be shallow, if the water is green, it will be deep, and if the water is black, it will be deep. This directly skips the deep end. What the hell is this step?
"How about we think about it again?"
There is no end in sight, and the pitch-black water bottom makes people feel inexplicably panicked.
"Let's go!" The red-haired loli walking behind the middle-aged man kicked him on the butt, and the middle-aged man fell directly into the bottomless water!
"A man who is tens of thousands of years old, what a bitch." Sanchis looked around, "It's your turn."
"..."
Everyone looked at the red-haired Loli who had an attitude of "if you don't move, I will help you move". They were silent for a moment, took a step forward, and suddenly felt a huge force below the abyss pulling them down.
But the falling speed is still much slower than in the air.
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Sanchis looked at Culliton, who was still standing on the edge of the abyss and looking down, watching his ass eager to try.
"Do you still need to remind me?" Culliton rolled his eyes and also took a step forward and jumped into the abyss.
At their level of strength, they don't need to breathe at all underwater, and can live under the sea for a long time relying only on the spiritual power in their bodies.
The consumption per second, using the maze calculation method, is probably less than 10 mana points.
Most of the people's magic power recovery now is about 50 points, and there are hundreds of points more, but there is no shortage of these 10 points.
But as it sank lower and lower, they quickly discovered something was wrong!
They originally thought of discussing follow-up matters while falling, but after several attempts, they came to a deceptive fact: the consciousness cannot be penetrated outside the body at all!
Wouldn’t that mean we can only communicate with eyes and gestures? This is a big no-no in combat!
Originally, the battle was ever-changing, eye contact was extremely inefficient, and they were not given time to make gestures. What's more, who would care to pay attention to hand gestures during a real battle?
Everyone in the team is a bit muggle.
Then they considered a more deadly problem: underwater, without the aid of divine consciousness, it was almost impossible to guard against monsters that might appear in the water!
You can't hear the approaching monsters that are farther away in the water, and by the time you hear them, it's already too late...
The most effective way to find monsters in the water is to identify them with the naked eye.
Everyone fell naturally for more than an hour. The abyss cliff behind you is covered with luminous corals and aquatic plants of various colors. Various schools of neutral fish move through it.
The old man at the head saw that it was not a problem to slowly fall down like this. He subconsciously wanted to speak, but he took a sip of water and quickly used his spiritual power to seal his mouth.
Facing the curious looks cast by his teammates, he did not explain and instead swam downstream.
After everyone dived for more than two hours, they finally saw the light below.
'Finally? 'They were all very happy.
After less than half an hour, their feet really touched the seabed.
Even though I had been amazed by the various luminous corals above, my heart beat faster when I actually landed in the coral jungle because I was in a fairy tale-like environment.
The surrounding corals are not much shorter than the towering ancient trees outside, and the soft sand has dense aquatic plants of different colors swaying with the undercurrent.
Various marine creatures can be seen everywhere. At a glance, you can see more than a dozen species, some scattered and some in groups.
Although I want to express my feelings, I am now at the bottom of the sea.
The leader of the old man casually gestured to the people behind him to follow them.
They paraded back and forth in the hollows of various huge corals on the seabed, and did not choose to walk on the seabed.
The strong water pressure here would cause ordinary people to be squeezed into bloody water in an instant. Even if they were to walk straight on the seabed, their speed would be reduced by half!
They observed the surrounding scenery while looking for suspected monsters.
At this moment, the leading old man who had been swimming waved his hand to signal everyone to stop, making a warning gesture with his hand.
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they knew that the maze could never be that simple!
They carefully poked their heads out of the coral holes and looked in the direction of the temporary captain's finger.
The target was actually not far away from them, about a hundred meters below.
The monster was about five meters tall. Its upper body was a strong humanoid body with distinct muscles but smooth lines. It had fins on its back, and its lower body was the body of a seahorse.
The head is also that of a seahorse, and most of the body is covered in armor made of coral and shells. In the monster's hand, there was a marine coral trident about five meters long, which looked very scary.
Although everyone's eyes lit up, there was also a serious problem that they had to face.
That's how to fight an underwater battle? What's more, it's such a deep water area. They have never even experienced combat in the diving area.
Now it is even more difficult for them to move freely underwater, and their speed has dropped by more than 30% compared to when they were on land. This is still in the swimming and diving method. If you walk on the ground, your speed will be reduced by nearly 60%!
A group of twelve people made gestures with their hands. Everyone was confused, but only they understood the meaning of their gestures...
Everyone is numb...
They all think that others are stupid, and even though they are making gestures so easy to understand, they still look like they are mentally retarded.
After more than ten minutes of ineffective communication, they finally reached a consensus: don't think so much, just do it!
At this time, on the seabed under the coral forest.
The coral guard seemed to feel something. He raised his head and saw the adventurer swimming out of the coral hole above his head.
He waved the trident in his hand, and a twisted invisible stream of water shot straight towards everyone!
The adventurer felt a sense of crisis in his heart, and almost subconsciously turned sideways to hide.
Then I felt that the water around me was being carried along, and a group of people were carried backwards for more than ten meters in an awkward manner!
"Bang~" A small muffled sound came from behind, and the giant coral that had been hidden had been broken in the middle! It was falling slowly at this time.
The monster didn't give them much time to react. The coral guard was like a wild horse running wild, charging straight towards the old man!
"Poof~" The trident collided with the old man's long knife, and the terrifying aftermath wiped out the water around them instantly, leaving behind a vacuum sphere with a radius of ten meters!
The people around were directly squeezed by the sea water and the shock waves were carried in all directions!
Before the vacuum sphere could shrink, the old man and the coral guard silently attacked and defended in the vacuum area for dozens of rounds! No sound came out.
As the huge figure of the Coral Guard was kicked away by the old man, the vacuum sphere that had originally shrunk to five meters immediately stretched to more than fifty meters following its flying body! Until the coral guard's back hit a giant coral.
Except for the last sneak attack by the Coral Guard, the few people around did not hear the slightest sound of fighting during the whole battle, it was like watching a silent movie.
