Calamity Dance

Chapter 48 The Tomb of the Supreme Mage
In the morning light of the next day, the aircraft brought a group of people to the coast of the West Sea and flew into the vast ocean.Every time Xu Qingquan travels with him, he seems to be a child who has never seen the world. Everything in this world is so strange to him.This time I came to Xihai as well.In this way, Xu Qingquan thought for a while, it was the first time he saw the sea at Vosges Volcano, and this time, they were flying over the blue ocean.

The Ophiuchus team on the aircraft was still laughing and laughing, and Lin joked about Xu Qingquan's mechanical arm from time to time, saying that he was a robot that traveled back from an old movie hundreds of years ago.Although the new arm is metal, it fits perfectly.Coupled with wearing long sleeves now, Xu Qingquan doesn't feel any difference from ordinary people at all.

Ren was still taciturn, completely independent from the entire group, and kept looking at the endless seascape outside the window without saying anything.

Not long after flying over the ocean, the smart navigation reminded that it was about to arrive at the original location.Everyone stopped chatting and looked down one after another, still trying to find clues on the calm sea.In fact, it is impossible to see the small island that was brought to the bottom of the sea by the earthquake hundreds of years ago. It is now lying quietly on the bottom of the sea thousands of meters deep.

Orianna adjusted the aircraft to manual operation, sat in the pilot's seat, pressed a few buttons, and instantly dived down.

This blow made Xu Qingquan terrified, and he quickly grabbed the armrest of the seat.

The aircraft retracted its wings and rushed straight into the water like a shooting star.After a while, relying on inertia, it has reached [-] meters underwater.

Orianna took her time and continued to operate the aircraft that had turned into a submarine.The original wing has become a propeller at this time, and the jet device can only advance in this primitive way under water.The amphibious means of transportation opened Xu Qingquan's horizons again.

The submarine continued to sink, and everyone looked out of the glass window which was getting darker and darker in the glass cabin, and the light was gradually disappearing from above their heads.

"Why is there no fish?" Xu Qingquan looked out of the window, constantly looking for it.

"This area is not the junction of ocean currents, there is no plankton, and the fish are passing by, and they will not stay for too long. In addition, it is hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest coastline, basically this is a forbidden area for creatures." Three thousand Sakura explained.

"That's right, I heard that the Supreme Mage chose this place in his later years because he wanted to stay away from the hustle and bustle. But I didn't expect that the island sank after her death, and it has nothing to do with the world." Orianna went on to Sanqianying words said.

"What's the name of this supreme mage? Is it the strongest one in Fasalin? Is it stronger than your stars?" Xu Qingquan asked Orianna curiously.

"In terms of title, it's called the Supreme Mage. I don't even know what it's called. Anyway, it's rumored that one enemy can easily wipe out a hundred enemy troops, and that was when there was no five-bead ring." Sanqianying hurriedly said, she also wanted to Check with Orianna to see if this is really the case.

"A Homo sapiens army with one enemy and one hundred?" Xu Qingquan recalled this scene in his mind.He still couldn't believe that this was an army that had almost driven mankind to extinction. He was afraid that it would be difficult for him to fight one by one, yet someone could be so powerful.

"Then what's the matter, anyway, it's just a rumor, and it's said that she is proficient in the power of all elements, how credible do you think the legend 1000 years ago is?" Orianna dismissed it, and continued to drive the submarine seriously.

"Although Homo sapiens was powerful thousands of years ago, and Homo sapiens today is limited everywhere, but after all, technology has developed so much, wouldn't the bows and crossbows of those years be wiped out by artillery after 1000 years?" Ren said, and he also agreed There is no need to blindly believe in what Orianna said about historical figures.

"Then this five-bead ring has been soaked underwater for so long, will it be broken?"

"It's possible, but I think it's better to break it to avoid trouble." Orianna sneered.

The submarine dived deeper and deeper, and finally touched the bottom at more than 2000 meters. The 2000-meter deep sea is pitch black, with only their light, and the external water pressure is enough to crush people.

"I didn't see any protruding places, and it doesn't look like there is an island." Xu Qingquan looked at the dark environment around him, and opened his eyes wide to see clearly.

Orianna didn't speak, turned on the airborne sonar system, and explored the surroundings.The returned signal shows that there is a place not far ahead that looks like a human site, not like a natural formation.

"Although this is a deep sea, there is probably no danger, but this is only limited to our human category. I don't know if there will be any special circumstances. If you drive to the ruins in a while, everyone will also prepare an energy field in the cabin, at least to ensure that there is no danger in the cabin. When it explodes, you won't be crushed to death by the water pressure." Orianna turned her head and said to the few people sitting behind.Everyone nodded their heads.Ren used a self-made energy field transmitter, which was pinned to his waist, and his hand was unconsciously put on it.

The ruins arrived soon, and it was indeed a ruin of human civilization, with ruins lying on the seabed at a depth of 2000 meters.

The lights of the submarine were turned on, and it slowly moved forward in the ruins, trying to find traces about the life of the supreme mage.

"Did you see something passing by us just now?" A black figure slipped away from under the light on Xu Qingquan's side. It looked quite big, but Xu Qingquan didn't have time to see it clearly, so he quickly called everyone to watch it together.

But when everyone came to see it, except for the stone steps illuminated by lights, the surrounding area was still dark and nothing could be seen.

"Maybe it's a deep-sea fish. Don't worry too much about it, and don't be afraid. Even if it's a sea monster, we can still handle it." Lin patted Xu Qingquan and made a little grimace.

"I'm not afraid, how can you deal with sea monsters underwater like a firefighter!" Xu Qingquan felt ridiculed, and immediately fought back.

"Then protect me!" Lin covered her mouth and narrowed her eyes with a smile.

"The sonar didn't detect any moving objects, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Now the surveying and mapping shows that we are moving slowly along a stone road." Orianna said after confirming that there was no problem.

"It's really different to climb a mountain under the sea!" Xu Qingquan continued to look at the looming underwater steps around him like a tourist.

"There seems to be a huge space 100 meters ahead, which looks hollow. It may be a submarine cave." Orianna stared at the screen and said.Everyone leaned forward and looked at the image drawn by the sonar. Indeed, there is a place that is obviously different from other places, like a hole in the wall, and it can make a significantly different sound when you tap it with your hands.

Orianna stepped up her horsepower and drove forward. Sure enough, what appeared in front of her was a huge stone tablet, with something engraved on it in characters that Xu Qingquan didn't understand.

"Before saving the world, try to save yourself first." Ren read the words on the stone tablet.

"Do you know all of this? What language is this?" Xu Qingquan's eyes widened, but he still didn't know a single word.

"The ancient western sea text is rarely used now, and only appears in ancient books." Ren explained, "It is very likely that this is the cemetery of the supreme mage."

"But how to get in?" Sanqianying looked around, there was no entrance, only a huge cliff on the bottom of the sea.

"I don't know. It seems that the landform here has been completely changed by the earthquake at that time. Her tomb may not be still there. We can only find a way to enter the cave found by the sonar." Orianna also said At a loss.

"Can you have a blast?" Xu Qingquan leaned against the glass window, his words attracted everyone's contemptuous gazes, he could only shut up and act as if nothing happened.

"There seems to be a gap in the cliff over there, go and have a look." Lin pointed to a small hole not far away, it was very dim, and I don't know how she saw it, Xu Qingquan couldn't help admiring her eyes.

Orianna drove the submarine to the entrance of the cave and illuminated the interior with lights. It looked like a very narrow cave with a bend, just enough for the submarine to pass through.

The submarine meandered along the cave, and after a while it came to a piece of open water, like a vast space buried deep underwater.The submarine floated up slowly, and after a while it surfaced, there was still air inside.

"The composition of the air outside doesn't seem to have been dead for 1000 years. There should be some channels leading to the outside world, without toxins, and can be breathed." Orianna clicked on the screen a few times, and the upper glass cover slowly opened. Everyone Turn on the energy field and prepare to get out of the cabin.Xu Qingquan couldn't help admiring Orianna's care and foresight again.

The cave is very dark, but it looks like a very large space, the air is not sober, with a trace of dust, and the searchlight shines out to form a long beam of light.

"It looks like a volcanic lava warehouse in ancient times. It is estimated that it used to be on a small island above the sea. Later, it returned to the bottom of the sea after the earthquake and was connected to the outside world through lava pipes." Orianna touched the stone on the wall of the cave. , put it in the palm of your hand and checked it.

"The supreme mage actually put the tomb in a lava cave, it's amazing!" Xu Qingquan exclaimed.

"It's not necessarily her tomb, I can only say that the stone tablet outside looks a bit like it." Ren poured cold water on Xu Qingquan.

Everyone continued to check in the cave, hoping to find out where the supreme mage was buried.

Suddenly, Sanqianying stepped on something under her feet, she lowered her head to check, it turned out to be some dead wood, it seemed that it had just been extinguished not long ago.She quickly called everyone to come and check.Xu Qingquan touched it with his mechanical arm, and he could clearly feel the temperature of the firewood, which must have just burned out not long ago.This is the first time he has used this arm, and the results are outstanding.

Everyone in the smuggler team immediately raised their vigilance, someone had been active here not long ago!

"It seems that my fire can also be useful underwater." Lin looked at Xu Qingquan with a smile, and ignited flames with both hands.

Xu Qingquan didn't answer, he began to sniff the surrounding atmosphere, but he didn't find anything other than them.

"Here we come!" Orianna looked at the surface of the water where they came out just now.

A string of bubbles appeared on the surface of the water, as if something was about to float out.
