Chapter 296: Divine Turtle and Entering the Ship (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Let’s go?
Wasn’t it a submarine?
What was this meat pillar that was as thick as an arm?!
After the elephant trunk stuck out of the water, it was fixed in the water like a pole.
Then, a black shadow slowly rose from the bottom of the water along this pillar of flesh. It broke through the water layer and floated to the surface.
It looked like a ship, but its shape was more like a flat ball. It was completely sealed, looking a little like the space capsule and space shuttle that were often seen in movies in his previous life. However, its appearance was obviously rough. It was completely wrapped in iron and the connection was nailed with rivets. It had a rough feeling like steampunk.
It could be seen that this iron hull was tied to the meat pillar and used this meat pillar as a track to slide.
When the meat pillar appeared just now, Lin Yan thought that he had guessed wrong. The diving boats in this world might have a mysterious ability and were a strange creation.
However, the appearance of this iron boat made him believe that the technological development of the prefecture capital had definitely reached the steam era. Otherwise, it would be impossible to build such a sealed iron boat with rivets.
Liu Lanqing jumped up and gently landed on the iron ship. She reached out and touched the top for a moment. Then, she grabbed a spiral handle and turned it. Finally, with a creak, an external cabin door was opened.
“Come in!”
Liu Lanqing personally stood at the cabin door and called for everyone to enter the cabin one after another.
Lin Yan originally wanted to sneak in, but Liu Lanqing blocked the door with one hand. It was obvious that she was on guard, making it difficult for him to enter.
After everyone entered the cabin one after another, Liu Lanqing heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at Ling Shuangxue in the cabin and the two of them nodded at each other. Only then did she jump into the cabin and immediately close the door.
The diving cabin was not big and contained more than 20 people. The cabin was very crowded and it was dark. There was no light, but this dark and crowded environment gave Liu Lanqing and Ling Shuangxue a sense of security that they had not felt for a long time.
In such a crowded environment, not only was it isolated from the Chaotic Fog, but it was also impossible for invisible things to sneak in.
And that was the truth. Lin Yan stood helplessly by the shore and watched the cabin door close. Liu Lanqing’s actions didn’t leave him any room.
Still…
This diving cabin was not only pitifully small, but it was also obvious at a glance that it was wrapped in iron. Not only was it crowded and stuffy, but it was also impossible to travel a long distance.
Liu Lanqing had said that the spherical shell of the ground was about 10 to 15 kilometers. In other words, the gravity reverse layer was at least seven to eight kilometers deep.
In the modern world of his previous life, the deepest distance to explore the sea was only ten thousand meters.
At seven to eight thousand meters, the water pressure was already extremely strong. Just this small and simple submarine would be crushed in an instant.
Coupled with what Yu Qian and the others had mentioned previously and the strange meat pillar, it was obvious that there was something deeper under the meat pillar that could receive Liu Lanqing and the others.
Thinking of this, Lin Yan also jumped lightly. He stepped on the waves and jumped onto the diving capsule. Then, he avoided the meat pillar and grabbed a protruding part of the diving capsule.
He couldn’t enter the diving cabin, but he could dive directly to the place below where Liu Lanqing was going to be picked up!
In the cabin, Liu Lanqing patted a raised glass button on the cabin wall beside him.
Outside the cabin, Lin Yan saw a pick as thick as a chopstick bounce up from the cabin and pierce the meat pillar.
Then, the meat pillar trembled. The top of it expanded slightly and was tightly stuck to the diving capsule. Then, it slowly shrank. The diving capsule was immediately pulled by the meat pillar and dived into the water.
The waves passed through the diving cabin and isolated the Chaotic Fog above, diving into the silent underwater world.
Lin Yan was wrapped in the Black Tortoise Divine Armor and was like a fish entering the sea in the water, so he was naturally unaffected.
However, the technology of this submarine was much worse than he had imagined. It could not float on its own.
On the other hand, the meat pillar was clearly a living creature. Moreover, it was extremely magical to pull the diving capsule as if it was nothing.
The diving cabin went all the way down. This was the underground world to begin with. There was no light. Once it entered the water, it was even darker.
Although the cabin was sealed, there might be someone below to receive them, so Lin Yan didn’t light a fire. He only relied on the Black Tortoise Divine Armor to control the water flow and make a simple perception of his surroundings.
This underground pool was a wide and narrow cave. Furthermore, the water pressure was increasing.
The pillar of flesh was not soft and powerless. Instead, it was like a steel rope. It snaked a complicated line under the water, as if it was fixed with many slide rails. It pulled the submarine down, and he didn’t know how long it was.
However, the deeper he went, the wider the surrounding space became. Gradually, it formed the shape of an upside-down horn.
After descending 700 to 800 meters, Lin Yan’s eyes turned cold. There was light below!
Two extremely penetrating white beams of light pierced up from the water below and swept back and forth, illuminating the surrounding dark water in a faint dark blue color.
Under the light, the meat pillar presented a slender black shadow.. One end of the black shadow was connected to the capsule that was diving quickly, and the other end extended to an extremely strange huge creature that was nearly a hundred meters long!
