Chapter 134: Setting an example
Without thinking any more, Cheng Mu continued to dive down, thirty, forty, forty-nine.
The depth prompt of the system increased little by little, and Cheng Mu soon reached forty-nine meters below the sea level. He stopped at this height and stepped on the water with his hands and feet.
"Ding"
Cheng Mu received a private message reminder from Yun Qi and Xiao Green Tea.
As long as the other party is still alive, no matter where he is or what he is doing, he can receive the information.
After all, this is the game's own chat system.
Of course, if you don't want to be disturbed by others, you can also turn off the private chat function, but Yunqi and Little Green Tea are on Cheng Mu's white list.
Both of them can send messages to Cheng Mu at any time.
The message was from Little Green Tea. She said that she and Yun Qi had learned a new trick on the TV, and asked him to stop staying underneath and quickly go up and try it out.
Cheng Mu has no intention of doing this now, and if he goes up this time, he will definitely not be able to come back within the time specified by the system.
After sending a message to them to report that they were safe, Cheng Mu prepared to continue diving.
After reaching this depth, the sea water further down and the sea water within fifty meters seem to be two different worlds.
Although the visibility of the sea water within fifty meters is a bit low, you can at least see the water next to it. However, when Cheng Mu looked down at a depth of forty-nine meters, it seemed that there was a dividing line blocking the bottom. .
Within fifty meters, there is dark, cold, but still normal sea water, and fifty meters away, it is complete darkness.
The purest darkness, akin to nothingness.
Damn, this is too scary.
Cheng Mu also cursed angrily in his heart.
But thinking that the system would definitely not harm him, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and dive down.
Just as he crossed the fifty-meter mark, Cheng Mu felt a huge coldness surround him.
With his current physique, he could not stop shivering from the cold.
He looked up. If he could not see the water above the dividing line, he would really like to go back to the Mud King now.
Cheng Mu tried his best to empty all thoughts in his mind and continued to delve deeper into the darkness below.
Fifty-five, sixty, seventy, seventy-nine….
When the depth indicator in his eyes reached eighty, Cheng Mu felt several streams of water surging around him, and he could feel the ripples of these currents hitting his body.
There seemed to be something watching me from the side.
As the water surged, the hair on Cheng Mu's body suddenly stood up and his heart beat wildly.
He knew that his chest was heaving violently, and his hands and feet were a little weak due to the massive secretion of adrenaline.
He couldn't see what it was, couldn't hear what the sound was, but he could feel the surge of water.
In the ocean tens of meters deep, it was pitch black. When I opened my eyes, I saw only nothingness. When I closed my eyes, I felt nothing but complete silence.
In all directions of the body, countless cold seawater surrounds him, and next to him are ripples caused by the swimming of unknown creatures.
……
Damn you, I won’t play anymore, something moved next to me, I want to go home.
Cheng Mu was really on the verge of tears. He touched the trigger of the Type 95 in his hand and pulled it instantly.
Although he knew that this thing would probably not be useful at this depth, it would at least be a comfort to Cheng Mu now.
Dozens of bullets poured into the deep sea in an instant, making a gurgling, gurgling sound.
Fortunately, the guns in the game can still be used in such deep seas.
He didn't shoot to cause any harm to the unknown creatures around him.
He just wanted to make some noise, at least after making some noise, it would embolden him and make him feel that he was still alive.
The deathly darkness around him made him feel fear from the bottom of his heart, and the unknown creature swimming just now made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.
………
"Gudong, Gudong"
When the Type 95 bullets made noise in the water, the unknown creature that was just beside them began to swim again.
Cheng Mu once again felt the water flow caused by its swimming, but this time it seemed that it was not observing him, but moving away from him.
Is it... gone?
Were you scared away by the gunfire I just fired?
This possibility cannot be ruled out. After all, this thing lives in such a dark place every day, so it is natural that it has never seen the rattling sound of bullets.
So maybe it looked at itself from the side and realized that I wasn't very tasty, and then left silently when it heard a strange noise.
However, Cheng Mu didn't have time to think about these things now. He didn't care how the thing got away, as long as it left.
After gently stroking his racing heart, Cheng Mu felt that his condition was slightly better.
There are only the last twenty meters left, so let’s work hard.
The mission progress has reached 80%, there is no reason to quit now.
Cheng Mu closed his eyes, memorized "Departure Guide" in his mind, and then dived deeper.
The late emperor started his business before...
The main thing is to find something to do for yourself, to trick your brain, to divert your attention, and you won't be so scared.
Even if it closes its eyes, the system's depth cues will still emerge in its sea of consciousness. Eighty-eight, eighty-nine...
Ninety-six, ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine...
one hundred!
Finally, when he memorized "Don't underestimate yourself" silently in his mind, the depth prompt changed to one hundred.
At this time, there was only one thought left in his mind...
run!
As soon as he reached a depth of 100 meters, Cheng Mu immediately swam upward.
When he floated up, he was even more frightened than before. His heart was beating wildly, and the huge fear also made him unleash his great potential.
In just an instant, Cheng Mu floated straight upward for more than ten meters.
Don't let anything happen! Don't let anything happen!
He didn't dare to look back to see if there was something following him, or even think about it.
What he was afraid of was that as soon as he completed the system task requirements, something strange would happen.
So the moment he reached 100 meters, he immediately went upstream.
After just a few seconds, the fifty-meter dividing line appeared in front of Cheng Mu.
While praying in his heart that no accident would happen, he swam towards the dividing line.
When Cheng Mu's body just crossed the dividing line, he felt the warm sea water wrap around him.
In fact, the seawater at this depth can only be described as cold, but when compared with the seawater fifty meters below, Cheng Mu only felt warm.
It was only then that he took a slight breath and continued to push upward with all his strength.
Although it felt safer fifty meters above, Cheng Mu still didn't dare to take it lightly.
In this vast sea composed of tens of thousands of tons of sea water, no one could guarantee that nothing would happen, so he had to swim up to the sea quickly.
Through observation during this period, if there is no storm on the sea, generally speaking there will be no danger.
If you don't open the supply box, no creatures will actively attack the player.
But it's different under the water. If he hadn't been lucky just now and the unknown thing in the water didn't attack him, then he might have revealed where he was.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the corolla ring on his hand.
Fortunately, I made this ring before going into the water, otherwise it would be hard to say what happened just now.
Maybe it was those two lucky attributes that prevented the thing from attacking me just now.
In the dark, there is God's will.
Cheng Mu continued to swim upward. He didn't know how many meters deep it was now. When he dived to 100 meters, the system's depth prompt function simply disappeared.
This should also indirectly represent that he has completed the system task.
However, I haven't received the reward prompt from the system yet, and it should not appear until he returns to the Clay Head King.
………
A few seconds later, Cheng Mu's head emerged from the water. As soon as his face touched the air, he was breathing heavily.
It's not because you are suffocating, but because you are too nervous. Taking a deep breath can relieve the tension.
He didn't dare to stay in the water for too long, but the place where he floated was slightly different from where the Mudhead King had just stopped. Fortunately, the difference was only a few dozen meters away.
Cheng Mu looked at the bright black Nitou King. Little Green Tea and Yun Qi were standing at the bow and the stern of the boat, searching anxiously for something on the sea.
When Little Green Tea saw Cheng Mu breaking out of the sea, she immediately shouted and called Yun Qi over.
Before Cheng Mu could swim over there, they threw a rope from the deck.
Cheng Mu did not pick up the rope and swam over by himself, which was faster.
He wasn't in any physical condition now, so he didn't need them to pull him over.
At present, the only thought in Cheng Mu's mind was to return to the Mudhead King as soon as possible. Although the sea did not look dangerous, he still felt a wave of fear in his heart.
That unknown mysterious creature, that darkness like nothingness...
Thinking of this, Cheng Mu also speeded up and swam towards the Nitou King.
A few seconds later, he climbed onto the deck of the Mudhead King. Cheng Mu, who had just climbed onto the deck, was in the shape of a big Chinese character, with his arms and legs spread out, and the bird lying on the deck.
The deck of the Black Mud King was scalding hot under the blazing sun, but now Cheng Mu felt that it was the warmest place in the world.
No, second warmest.
The first warmest place should be Yunqi's ravine.
……
He just lay on the deck, breathing heavily, and his chest heaved violently.
Yun Qi and Little Green Tea came crying from the side, but Cheng Mu didn't want to pay attention to it now. He just wanted to lie there and be quiet.
This is true.
He recalled his experience in the sea just now. Although it only took a few minutes from diving to rising, it felt like a century.
If one is not careful, there will be a separation between yin and yang.
In Cheng Mu's imagination, he thought that there must be some danger under the sea level, but he never expected that it would be so scary inside.
The most important thing is the void-like darkness, which is the most scary. In this darkness, you don't know what you are facing.
