Chapter 121 Seabed Exploration
After breakfast, Merchant Jian and Cheng Mai went out, this time without Mr. Smith.
Instead of going to the place where killer whales were suppressed, Shang Xingjian took Cheng Mai to the bottomless seabed. There were many kinds of creatures on the seabed, but most of them were ugly.
Cheng Mai used the light to see the underwater creatures scurrying around, and looked at Shang Xingjian, "Does this mean that no one can see it and it can grow as long as it wants?"
"The deep sea never sees light all year round, and they don't even know what they look like." Shang Xingjian didn't care about the little creatures running around, and continued walking forward with Cheng Mai until he reached an underwater palace before Shang Xingjian stopped. Stepped down.
Cheng Mai looked up, "Dragon Palace?"
"Not really, the killer whale's nest." Shang Xingjian used the word "nest" and brushed aside the water plants on it when he walked in to make it easier for Cheng Mai to come in.
Cheng Mai followed Shang Xingjian step by step, also looking at the dilapidated palace, "This lair looks a bit like the Dragon Palace in the TV series."
"I will take you to see the real Dragon Palace in the future, but it is definitely not like this. The killer whale has never seen the real Dragon Palace, so it can only learn from human imagination."
Some small creatures in the hall were frightened and hid, looking at Shang Xingjian and Cheng Mai defensively.
These are basically biological instincts, and there is no such thing as spiritual intelligence, so Shang Xingjian didn't pay attention to them.
As long as they don't come in front of him to make their presence felt, Shang Xingjian won't care.
Cheng Mai also saw it, but he couldn't feel the danger, so he looked away.
There are many fish bones in the corners of the hall, and even the seats are carved from the bones of a huge creature.
Even if the killer whale is not as powerful as the Dragon King, it can still be seen that it dominates this deep sea.
"In that case, why would he take the risk to go to the shallow sea?" Isn't it good for him to be the king in the sea?
Merchant Jian raised his eyebrows slightly, "You ask me?"
"Otherwise?" Cheng Mai asked back.
Shang Xingjian clicked her tongue, put her hands on Cheng Mai's shoulders and asked her to look around. Cheng Mai looked around, but didn't see anything wrong.
The merchant paused briefly, then went to the fish bone himself, as if he was looking for something.
Cheng Mai: "...I think you just looked down on me."
"You feel it's quite right." Shang Xingjian said without any concealment. He found what he wanted among the fish bones and raised his hand to find the thing in his hand.
Cheng Mai wanted to argue something, but saw something in his hand and walked over, "What is this?"
After Shangxingjian looked at it, he gave it to Cheng Mai, who reached out and took it. It was a very modern thing, like a button, but thicker than a button, made of metal.
Cheng Mai turned over and looked at it, "What is this?"
"No matter what it is, it is a technological product and should not belong here." Shang Xingjian was still looking around, as if he wanted to find more evidence.
Cheng Mai kept looking at the button in his hand, "It looks like some kind of signal transmitter."
After Cheng Mai finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and looked up at Shang Xingjian, "Human research has discovered killer whales and tried to capture it?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. Killer whales can become ferocious and live for at least tens of thousands of years. Their bodies will not rot after death, and they will continue to dominate this dark field as zombie fish. No matter how you look at it, it is worth studying." This is a ghost fish, where did they get such courage?" Cheng Mai was shocked.
"Do you remember what Smith said?" Shang Xingjian looked back at the shocked Cheng Mai, not feeling that this incident was worth shocking.
Cheng Mai paused, "Everything in the world has a price?"
"Yes, for them businessmen, everything in the world has a price. The more exotic things are, the higher the value. Is it really an adventure that Smith has come here for more than 20 years? If it is just for adventure, why build it? So a base.”
Shang Xingjian walked behind the throne and looked a little confused after looking through it, "It shouldn't be."
"What's wrong?" Cheng Mai couldn't understand why Smith did this. Hearing Shang Xingjian's words, he walked over, "What shouldn't be done?"
"As a killer whale in the ocean, it will not leave here unless it is a last resort. How did Smith let it leave here?" Shang Xingjian couldn't figure it out for the time being, "And how did Smith know that there was such a big killer whale here? ”
Cheng Mai listened to Shang Xingjian's words, "You mean, someone told Smith, and Smith, as a businessman, smelled the business opportunities, so he took the risk and tried to capture the killer whale, but he didn't expect that the killer whale was stronger than he expected. He was so strong that Si Lan happened to save him?”
This inference seems very reasonable and almost no loopholes can be found.
"Reasonable, but wrong." Shang Xingjian circled around the seat twice, "If this is really the case, Smith will not have such complicated emotions about whether Si Lan wakes up. Smith discovered the killer whale, and it was Si Lan Suppressed, but who discovered Si Lan?”
Cheng Mai connected all the recent events together. Cheng Ming should have entered the Infinite Hell after the massacre of the city, and regained his consciousness when he was transformed into evil spirits, so the following events were more or less planned by him.
However, Si Lan was never discovered and was probably in seclusion in the iceberg until the appearance of Smith forcibly interrupted Si Lan's cultivation. In order to suppress the killer whales, Si Lan forcibly peeled off the fused consciousness again to form a formation eye. Suppression of killer whales.
So the killer whale itself came towards Si Lan. Some people didn't want Si Lan to wake up or restore Si Lan's divine power.
"Is it the same person as the person behind her?" Cheng Mai asked, because that person had also been trying to extract the god of wisdom from her body. In fact, the purpose was the same.
Shang Xingjian found nothing after checking, but did not refute Cheng Mai's words.
"If that's the case, aren't other gods more dangerous?" Cheng Mai said nervously.
What Shang Xingjian did before was to retrieve the other eleven true gods. Now that the gods of all the true gods have finally moved, such a big problem has arisen.
No, in fact, the person behind her has been making moves since she started.
Cheng Ming should be the first person they attacked. Cheng Ming was instigated by them, so he can live well until now.
Cheng Mai was the second one, but this time Cheng Mai was found by Shang Xingjian first, otherwise she would only have two endings, one is to work for that person like Cheng Ming, and the other is to die.
"Who is that person behind you?" Cheng Mai asked again. It was not the first time she asked this question, but she needed to know the answer.
Shang Xingjian looked at Cheng Mai and didn't seem to be in a hurry.
"Maybe it's the sky, maybe it's the earth, or maybe it's the invisible air." Shang Xingjian's fingertips landed on the fishbone chair, tapping it gently.
Cheng Mai: "...are you so careless in dealing with me?"
