I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 171 Rainbow light from the unknown

"Click, click, click..."

The sound of shells beating became more and more frequent, and it was unusually obvious even under the sound of the water flow.

Several people did not dare to move forward and stared at the soles of their feet warily.

But the sound didn't just come from the soles of the feet, it seemed that there was also the same sound of shells hitting in the rainbow light.

Moreover, the rainbow light continues to solidify, showing various fuzzy shapes.

The originally curved rainbow light turned into an amorphous shape like colored plasticine and began to expand slowly.

Changes in the water mist sometimes cause the rainbow light to disappear, but then reappear in an instant, like a damaged TV that is constantly refreshing the screen at an extremely fast frequency, making people dizzy.

Not long after, the rainbow light spread to the surroundings, filling everywhere, and was about to cover the entire surrounding area.

"What is this?" Li Xiangyi couldn't help but ask, "Is it caused by my light belt?"

She was a little worried and planned to put away her belongings first.

But Lao Xu quickly interrupted her: "Don't worry yet, it's very safe here. Just keep it bright."

After hearing Lao Xu's words, she felt relieved and continued to watch the changing rainbow light around her.

"This is a mirage." Lao Xu scratched the surrounding water mist with his hands, then rubbed it again and explained to the two of them.

"Mirage?" the two asked in unison.

"Yes, the moist water vapor and this fishy smell are the characteristics of mirage, and the rainbow light around them is also a precursor to the onset of mirage." Lao Xu explained calmly.

"Just wait."

Although Lao Xu was confident, Li Luo didn't seem so reassured. She had already taken out the electronic screen and looked up information about mirage.

……

Stories of mirages have been around since ancient times.

Mirage is actually a clam, a common shellfish in the sea. Ancient people believed that the breath of mirage can form city pavilions.

But modern people have long figured out the cause of mirages.

In fact, it is a kind of refraction of light, a natural phenomenon that reflects distant scenery in the sky. It often occurs in waterside and desert areas in summer.

But after arriving at the abyss, some people saw a completely different mirage.

A lone wolf hunter named Shen Ping discovered this strange phenomenon for the first time on the third level of the abyss.

As a well-known hunter, he not only completed many official tasks, but also collected many relics and obtained many resources by handing them over to the officials.

It was in the limelight for a while.

But only Shen Ping knew that he even borrowed the money to buy the boat.

There are many information dealers in the abyss. If they have no ability, they will sell the location information of some islands to other hunters.

Shen Ping relied on his adventurous and adventurous style to explore many island ruins alone. Recently, he bought information about an island from an information dealer.

"The environment of that island is also very good. After you explore it and report it to the authorities, maybe an island base can be built." The dealer said to him.

"Why don't you go explore it yourself?" Shen Ping knew that these traffickers would always blow up the island.

"Well, it's a bit weird over there. Illusions always appear on the island. Although it's not harmful, it's quite scary. The ruins are also easy to find..."

Shen Ping just listened to the dealer talking nonsense.

Anyway, I can't hear any useful information from these information dealers. As long as the location of the island is correct, thank God.

After Shen Ping made preparations for sailing, he hurriedly set off along the route.

"After completing this vote, the loan will be paid off." Shen Ping had already begun to imagine himself paying off the loan, galloping into the abyss, and reaching the pinnacle of life.

Soon, he arrived at the designated location. “The environment is really nice!”

The dealer did not lie. This is an extremely beautiful island with lush vegetation and a small stone mountain standing in it. The mist is shrouded in it, just like a fairyland.

The ruins on the island are not buried very deep. You can see the ruins in the mountains on the coast.

"I found a treasure!"

When exploring the island in the past, many ruins were buried deep in the island, and there were even some inside the crater. It was very rare to find such an extremely obvious place on the island.

It's just simple mode.

Shen Ping couldn't wait to get to the island. He didn't encounter any dangers along the way. It was like an ordinary mountain forest, which even made him feel very relaxed.

The creatures in the mountains and forests are also very friendly, they are all small animals, and they will stay away from him after seeing him.

Shen Ping also has a relic that monitors his physical condition.

Although the journey was very easy, he still took out the relic from time to time to see if he was affected by any unknown effects.

"The safest place is the most dangerous place." This is the conclusion he came to after exploring so many islands.

Fortunately, this section of the road seemed to be really safe, and he soon arrived at the foot of the stone mountain.

The ruins are very classical Chinese-style pavilions, attached to the stone mountain using some extremely clever architectural methods. The wooden structure is supported on extending diagonal support columns, as if it is flying high in the air.

The stone staircase dug directly from the stone mountain winds upwards and penetrates into the clouds and mist.

"It's really a wonderland." Shen Ping sighed at the beauty of this ruins while walking upwards carefully.

When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, the fog was already very heavy, and Shen Ping could smell the faint fishy smell of shellfish in the fog.

The road ahead slowly became blurry, and the moist water vapor made his feet very slippery. Shen Ping couldn't help but slow down.

Although he admired the beautiful scenery, he never let go of his inner vigilance.

"This is a relic."

Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to discover something unusual.

Shen Ping was very particular about the time he chose to go to the island. It was early in the morning, and when the sun shone in the fog, some imperceptible rainbow lights began to appear in the fog.

Of course he noticed the lights and stopped.

These lights slowly spread, and then slowly condensed, forming silhouettes in the mist.

"This must be the illusion that the dealer said." Shen Ping thought to himself.

The figures gradually turned into human figures wearing splendid robes. They were all very well-dressed, with all kinds of accessories, and even looked a little bloated.

These human figures are extremely gorgeously dressed, which fits perfectly with this fairyland-like stone mountain.

"Are these all immortals?" Shen Ping couldn't help but have this thought in his mind.

However, as those figures slowly condensed completely, Shen Ping was startled by them.

The heads of these figures are all kinds of marine creatures!

A glaring killer whale.

An octopus showing its teeth and claws.

The bobbing lobster.

Smiling starfish.

……

How can this be an immortal?

This is a sea fairy!
