Chapter 298 The Upside-Down World
"swirl?"

At this time, in front of Baigu Island, Mu You also encountered the same situation as Jack.

"How could there be a vortex in this kind of place?" Lin Xue was also a little surprised as she looked at the huge sea vortex in front of her.

She didn't have much research into oceanography, but she also knew that sea vortices usually only formed at the intersection of ocean currents, and it was too abnormal for such a large vortex to suddenly form on such a flat and windless sea as before.

"There is no problem with the heading..."

Mu You observed the direction of the compass in his hand, and as the hull of the ship walked around the periphery of the vortex, the pointer always steadily pointed to the center of the vortex.

"In other words, the entrance is probably in this vortex..."

"Is there such an obvious sign at the entrance of Sky City..." Lin Xue asked.In order to prevent the sky city from being invaded by other races, it is said that the entrance will be set up very concealed, but the giant vortex is too obvious, as long as the nearby creatures can see it.

"Normal circumstances really shouldn't be... I guess the tsunami created by King Octopus just now caused some changes in the entrance..." Mu You guessed.

In any case, there is no other way to go now, but to trust the compass.

"Fail the sails and enter the vortex!"

Mu You gave the order, and the ghost crew members on the ship quickly started to work, stowed all the sails, then turned the bow, and rushed straight to the maelstrom ahead.

The dozens of ships behind were still chasing, but the distance was far enough that Mu You ignored them, watching the Ghost smoothly sailing into the outer range of the vortex.

However, just when he thought that the Ghost would follow the vortex and start circling, there seemed to be a strange force in the vortex that pushed the Ghost outward.

The Ghost drew an arc around the edge of the vortex, and then was thrown out of the vortex from the other side.

"Ok?"

"what happened?"

Everyone on board was stunned.

Generally, after entering the vortex, shouldn't it be carried by the ocean current to the center?Why was it ejected?
Mu You hurriedly tried to drive the boat into the vortex again, but the result was still the same. He was thrown out just after entering, as if he had bumped into the same pole of some kind of magnetic pole, and was instantly pushed away by the strong repulsive force.

At this time, the distant fleet of divinely granted monarchy was approaching, and some continued to chase around the edge of the vortex, but there were also a few that had no time to turn and rushed directly into the vortex.

What surprised Mu You and others was that the boats of these people rushed into the vortex, but were not thrown away. Instead, they began to spin inward along the current, and no matter how hard the people on the boat rowed, they couldn't break free.

"Strange, why can they go in?" Xiaoya asked suspiciously, this vortex still has double standards?

"Could it be..."

Mu You turned his head and glanced at the many ghost crew members on the ship.

The entrance of Dawn City is said to be accessible only to fools and their familiars. Could it be that other creatures are being repelled from here?

Thinking of this, Mu You took out the light boat and threw it beside the Ghost: "Xiaoxue and Xiaoya follow me, the others stay."

"Oh……"

Xiaoya didn't ask any further questions, and hurriedly followed Mu You onto the boat.After Lin Xue also boarded the boat, Mu You drove the boat into the whirlpool.

The result was pushed out again.

"Is the backpack also affected?"

Mu You looked at a backpack at his waist, which contained Vivienne, Little Spider, and many forest elves who had just been rescued from the submarine prison.

Both Vivienne and Little Spider have a contractual relationship with him, and it should be those elves who will affect the judgment of the whirlpool at this time.

Mu You released Vivian and the little spider Chocobo, put them into other backpacks, and then threw the backpack just now to the pandaren on the Ghost, and then tried to sail into the vortex again.

This time it was finally not ejected again, and the boat was successfully carried by the vortex and approached the center.

Sure enough, it was the influence of the backpack!

Mu You estimated that it was probably because the entrance of the backpack was directly connected to this world, so it was judged to be the same interface. Unless the entrance is located on another interface like the lock cylinder space, the backpack that cannot be opened in the astral world will not be affected. .

"Wait, Mu You, I'm going too!" Ye Rumeng, who was left on the boat, hurriedly said as she watched the boat go away quickly.

"Stay well on the boat and don't run around! Uncle Cat, please take care of the little girl." Mu You shouted at the pandaren.

"Don't worry, I will wait for your return outside the sea of ​​evil spirits!" The pandaren responded.

"Woooo..."

Just when Mu You finished explaining the arrangement and was about to enter the vortex with peace of mind, the familiar neighing sound of Octopus King sounded again, and this time, the distance was so close that it seemed to sound right above everyone's heads...

All the nearby humans looked up subconsciously, and saw a huge octopus head emerging from the water on one side of the maelstrom, with a pair of deep pupils, looking down at the people below like ants. Sweeping his gaze, his eyes quickly focused on the small boat where Mu You was.

"Why did you come at this time..."

Mu You frowned secretly, looking at this guy's straight eyes, it was obviously aimed at him.

Fortunately, he has entered the vortex now. This place excludes all creatures that are not fools. Even the Octopus King should not be able to enter...

Just when Mu You was thinking this way, he saw the Octopus King move, with its octopus protruding from the bottom of the water, Qiqi wriggled and quickly approached the whirlpool, and finally rushed directly into the whirlpool.

This vortex really has a repulsive force on the octopus king. After entering the vortex, the speed of the octopus king becomes slower and slower, but it is still crawling forward tenaciously. Although the speed is as slow as a snail, it is indeed getting closer to the center of the vortex. .

Mu You found that he still underestimated the octopus, and actually relied on brute force to forcefully break the exclusion rules of Dawn City.

Of course, the repulsive force of this vortex is not so easy to break through. The further the octopus king swims inward, the slower his speed will be. When he reaches the middle layer of the vortex, he has almost stagnated.

But then something happened that made everyone even more frightened: After the octopus king found that he could not go any further, he suddenly shook his octopus, and the tips of the octopus stretched out into a long and slender section.

The slender octopus legs stretched down the sea surface, wrapping around several ships that were approaching the center of the vortex, including Mu You's small boat.

Several ships immediately fell into a stagnation, stalemate in the middle of the vortex together with the octopus king, unable to move forward, and even being carried by the octopus feet, pulling them out a little bit.

Not only that, after these slender octopus tentacles roll onto the boat, they will split in an instant, turning into small octopuses half the height of a human, attacking the humans on board.

The personnel on each ship hurriedly resisted, using various means to remove the octopus.

On Muyou's side, he and Lin Xue were also trying their best to kill the octopuses, but every time they killed a batch, the octopus feet under the boat would quickly regenerate and turn into more small octopuses.

Relying on the two of them to slash with one knife at a time, it is impossible to clean it up.

"This won't work, I have to cut off the octopus' feet..."

Mu You glanced at the huge octopus in the distance that was also wrapped in the vortex, took out the flying broom, held the wand in one hand, and the broom in the other, and flew out of the boat.

Above this vortex, there is also a layer of entangled and turbulent currents, which are interfering with Mu You's flight, but it is better than being directly swept away by ocean currents underwater.

Moreover, the octopus king was restricted more severely at this time. Under the action of repulsion, the octopus king was almost immobile. If he moved a little, he might be thrown out by the vortex, which was a good opportunity to attack.

Mu You flew directly to the octopus leg that was entangled with their boat, and found the part protruding from the water. On the wand in his hand, an arc sword tens of meters long emerged and cut it downwards.

I tried it in the dream castle before, the arc sword can cut through the tentacles of the octopus king, and it should work here too.

It's just that the octopus king obviously won't watch himself being attacked. At the moment when the electric arc strikes, countless small tentacles split from the surface of the octopus feet below, like spirit snakes, sweeping towards Muyou in the sky.

Mu You hurriedly put away the electric arc sword, concentrated on controlling the broom to dodge, relying on the speed of the flying broom and the foresight of his pocket watch, he avoided all the tentacles.

It seems that the octopus king has a memory of the power of the arc sword, knowing that this thing can hurt it, and never let Mu You have a chance to get close.

Mu You rode a broom and hovered over the octopus' feet for several weeks, but he still couldn't find a chance to strike.

When the situation on the scene was at an impasse, no one noticed that at the edge of the vortex, a mermaid emerged from the water.

Looking at the huge octopus in front of it, and Mu You who was flying in mid-air to fight, the mermaid hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth, faced the octopus, and uttered a series of extremely beautiful songs.

No one can understand what she is singing, it seems that she is just humming a ballad, but this voice has a strange charm, making the surrounding creatures unconsciously stop their movements, obsessed with this heavenly voice .

Even the Octopus King fell into a momentary stupor because of the mermaid's humming.

Among the creatures present, only Mu You was not affected by the singing.

Mermaid singing?

Mu You instantly realized that it was said that some members of the mermaid clan were born with natural singing voices. With their singing, they could lure sea creatures and navigators, make creatures lose their consciousness, and make ships sink on rocks and so on.

Of course, there must be a price for singing with such a strong effect. The price is that every time the mermaid sings, the voice will be abolished, and it will take a long time to recover.

Mu You looked in the direction of the mermaid.He hadn't heard her speak since he met the mermaid, and now he finally heard her voice, but at a terrible price.

Mu You had already seen that while the mermaid was singing, the corner of her mouth was coughing up blood, obviously suffering from great pain.

Before he had time to think about it, the mermaid bought him an excellent opportunity to attack. At this moment, the octopus king was also charmed by the mermaid's singing, even if it was only for a second, it was enough.

Mu You immediately went back in time, turned the broom, and rushed straight to the octopus feet below.

A large number of tentacles reappeared, sweeping towards Muyou, but at this moment, the singing of the mermaid sounded again.

At the same time as the humming sounded, all the tentacles seemed to be petrified and became motionless.

Mu You controlled the broom to nimbly pass through the tentacles and came to the front of the octopus' feet, and an electric arc tens of meters long quickly formed.

The electric arc sword unreservedly slashed on the surface of the octopus king's body, and cut through the octopus' feet at a slow but smooth speed.Although the tentacle was too thick, it couldn't be cut off directly, but only about half of it was cut off, and it couldn't get any further.

"Woooo..."

The next second, the octopus king woke up. The knife obviously hurt him, and he let out a deafening hiss. The cut octopus subconsciously curled back, and the boat regained its freedom.

But the other ships were miserable. Many of them were taken out of the vortex when the octopus king was struggling, and were crushed into pieces by the enraged octopus king in the air.

Mu You didn't have time to care about other people, so he hurried back to the boat and accelerated his escape.

Under this struggle, the octopus king was also thrown out by the vortex and landed on the outer sea area, but he immediately attacked the mermaid who dared to spoil his good deeds.

Mu You was a little worried about the safety of the mermaid, but found that he thought too much. The mermaid was much smarter than he imagined, so he slipped away immediately after finishing the work.In terms of swimming, the mermaid is the real overlord of the sea. Even the octopus king can't catch up with the mermaid's exhaust in the sea.

After confirming the safety of the mermaid, Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the boat had already sailed towards the center of the vortex. Driven by the current, it spun rapidly and rushed into the vertical waterway in the center of the vortex. It fell straight down and disappeared completely. on the water.

However, what Mu You didn't notice was that the octopus king in the distance watched the boat disappear, and instead of rushing into the whirlpool again, he suddenly entangled his octopus legs, and the other seven octopus legs entangled tightly with the octopus. The tentacle that Mu You had chopped off, the octopus foot was torn off amidst the sound of muscle tearing.

The torrential blood instantly dyed the surface of the sea red, and the whirlpool in the distance directly turned into a bloody whirlpool.

Immediately, the octopus king threw the broken octopus foot towards the center of the vortex...

Mu You didn't know what was happening outside. At this moment, he was falling vertically along the hollow water channel, the speed was getting faster and faster, and the surrounding was getting darker and darker, until he completely lost all light.

The ability of night vision can't play any role here. In the pitch darkness, Mu You can only feel that the boat is constantly falling, falling...

After sinking for several minutes, the speed of the boat's fall suddenly slowed down.

Mu You felt that the gravity on his body seemed to have changed direction. The boat was still going down, but the actual feeling was that it was going up.

Then the speed of the boat's ascent became faster and faster, until a few minutes later, as the surrounding light brightened, the boat finally surfaced.

Mu You opened his eyes and looked, the sky above the head was the bright moon hanging high, and the bright moonlight shone down, reflecting the ground silvery white.

At the moment they are in a lake, and on the edge of the lake is an endless continent, or 'city'.

The land was covered with wreckage of various buildings, as if it had encountered an unprecedented earthquake, or some kind of big collision. In short, all the buildings were dilapidated, and the streets were empty. Any insects and birds chirp, as if this is a dead world.

Mu You looked back at the small boat beside him. On the small boat, Xiaoya and Lin Xue were both there. Except for their pale faces, they didn't look injured.

"vomit……"

Before Mu You had time to speak, Xiaoya next to her was lying on the bow of the boat and vomited.

After the turbulence and gravity reversal just now, it's normal to have this seasickness reaction.

On the contrary, Mu You and Lin Xue, probably because they often sit in the dark teleportation array, have long been accustomed to this kind of dizziness, and they don't feel any discomfort at this time.

The two of them rowed and docked the boat on the shore, and helped Xiaoya, who was staring at gold stars, onto the shore.

[You have entered the 'City of Dawn'. There is a no-flying area in the City of Dawn. Do not try to summon flying creatures or perform any flight operations. 】

"No flying..."

Mu You raised his head and swept towards the ruined city in front of him. For some reason, despite the normal street layout, he always felt a sense of incongruity in the picture that caught his eye.

"what?"

At this time, Lin Xue on the side suddenly raised her hands, staring at the palms of both hands.

"how?"

"The direction here seems to be reversed."

Lin Xue said: "The palm lines of my left and right hands have changed, and the positions of my left and right hands have been switched."

Then she placed one hand on her chest again: "Well, the position of the heart has also changed..."

"Oh?"

Mu You also took off his gloves and looked at his hands.

Sure enough, the Aries ring originally worn on the right hand has appeared on the left hand.

"That is to say, this is equivalent to a mirror world, and all directions are reversed..."

Mu You looked up at the street in front of him again, and finally understood why there was a sense of disobedience.

It's text. On the signboards of the buildings ahead, all the text and characters are reversed, which is why it looks so awkward.
