After I lost my job, the country urged me to travel every day

Chapter 255 City Wall

Chen Yingjie pondered for a moment, sighed secretly, and then nodded, "Then let's go and take a look!"

Luna, who had been keeping an eye on the two of them, was overjoyed when she saw Chen Yingjie nod.

Jack obviously also saw Chen Yingjie's actions and was extremely excited.

He pondered for a moment. The three Bai Xianshi were kind-hearted people, and he couldn't deliberately hide the truth just because he wanted to get his father's body back.

So he told them all about the Nether Dragon Kun and the Shadow Scale Beast, and then stood there nervously waiting for their reactions.

After listening to what Jack said, Bai Yaoyao thought for a moment and then said, "How about this, everyone is tired after walking all the way, you guys just rest here for a while, I'll go to the left to explore the way."

“Master Bai!” Jack couldn’t help but feel anxious when he saw Bai Yaoyao was determined to explore the way himself regardless of the danger. “Don’t underestimate the Shadow Scale Beast and the Nether Dragon Kun! Not to mention the huge and bloodthirsty Nether Dragon Kun, even the Shadow Scale Beast is not easy to deal with! They are good at hiding their whereabouts, not to mention they are very ferocious, and they live in groups! Master Bai might be in danger if he goes alone!”

Jack glanced at Chen Yingjie and Lu Bai, and the expectation in his eyes was obvious.

"How about I go with Senior Sister Bai!" Lu Bai was eager to try, and stood up and wanted to follow Bai Yaoyao.

Chen Yingjie knew what Bai Yaoyao was thinking. She wanted to avoid other people and take away all the sea beasts by herself to reduce the risk of exposure as much as possible. So he said to Lu Bai, "I'm alone here. I'm afraid I can't take care of it. I have to trouble Junior Brother Lu Bai to help with the defense."

Then he nodded to Bai Yaoyao, "Go ahead, Junior Sister! Be safe, go early and come back early!"

"Ok!"

So Bai Yaoyao swam towards the sea on the left under the worried eyes of Jack and Luna.

The location Jack mentioned was not far from where they had just stopped. In less than 10 minutes, Bai Yaoyao saw a giant "city wall" made up of shadow scale beasts!

This "city wall" extends from the bottom of the sea to the surface of the sea, and stretches endlessly on both sides with no end in sight.

Shadow-scale beasts the size of puppies surrounded this sea area tightly. Their bodies were covered with transparent scales that sparkled with colorful rays of light. The two giant eyes on their heads were like two bright lights in the deep sea, illuminating this sea area, which was not dark to begin with.

Bai Yaoyao approached cautiously and found that these shadow-scale beasts were also affected by the "Tide-Surfer" buff and would not actively attack her. She then reached out and pressed a shadow-scale beast, and before it could react, she put it into the system backpack.

Originally, Bai Yaoyao wanted to install one to test the waters first, but unexpectedly, a blank area of ​​about five meters suddenly appeared in front of her. At least dozens of shadow scale beasts suddenly disappeared, and what remained in their place were rope nets connected together, with a large bunch of purple sea grapes hanging in each mesh.

???

The scene in front of her made Bai Yaoyao a little confused. What the hell is this? !

Bai Yaoyao crawled in through the gap and found that behind the "wall" formed by the shadow-scale beasts, there was actually a large artificial rope net. The rope net was like a grape rack, allowing the sea grapes to grow and climb freely.

Bai Yaoyao smelled an intoxicating fragrance, which was the scent of sea grapes, a spiritual plant unique to the Mirage Sea. After Bai Yaoyao picked a bunch of sea grapes, the item illustrations given by the system also explained why there were so many shadow-scale beasts gathered here.

[Spiritual Sea Grapes: Specialties of the Mirage Sea Secret Realm, purple in color, with many beads and an intoxicating fragrance. Its taste is deeply loved by Shadow Scale Beasts. It can be used to brew spiritual fruit wine. Long-term drinking can help people purify the spiritual energy in their bodies.]

Bai Yaoyao looked at the equally endless sea grape trellis, her brows furrowed. This place was definitely not formed naturally!

It is 100% certain that someone deliberately set up a sea grape rack and used its scent to attract so many shadow scale beasts to roam here!

There's something fishy going on behind this!

Bai Yaoyao hesitated, not knowing whether to go deeper.

She is not afraid of sea beasts!

But she was afraid of meeting people!

In this world of cultivating immortals, she has no chance of winning against anyone she meets.

However, since he had already promised Jack to come and explore the way, Bai Yaoyao was reluctant to return just like that. Most importantly, Bai Yaoyao also wanted to see what secrets were hidden behind building such a large-scale "wall" here!

Bai Yaoyao lowered himself to the bottom of the sea, put on a mask, and moved through the dense seaweed, approaching cautiously.

About one kilometer away, Bai Yaoyao vaguely heard a burst of noisy shouting.

Bai Yaoyao felt very strange. Didn’t Jack say that this was the territory of a Netherworld Dragon Kun?

How could there be anyone? !

She cautiously approached the direction where the sound came from until she saw an underwater mine in the distance!

In the gray-brown mine, a dozen merman men were busy flying up and down. They held tools like fish fins to cut the ore into small pieces, and then threw them down, and they fell into the ore pile on the ground.

There were also a dozen mermaids sitting next to the ore pile, carefully placing small pieces of ore into a jagged disc device.

The device was running at a high speed, with stone chips flying everywhere. When it stopped, an intact phantom crystal was spewed out. However, the mermaid seemed to be very disgusted with it. She threw the phantom crystal aside and went on to take down a piece of ore to grind it.

Bai Yaoyao noticed that a small mountain of phantom crystals had been piled up behind them! It was obvious that they had been doing this for a long time.

Bai Yaoyao was frowning and pondering when she felt a flash of purple light in front of her and heard the mermaid man's somewhat hoarse scream.

"Wow! Second brother! You've got the amethyst again!"

"Haha! What a fluke!"

Bai Yaoyao looked up, and saw the mermaids around her making gestures with their hands, looking at the man in the middle with envy and talking among themselves.

The mermaid called the second one was holding a crystal shining with purple light in his hand.

Bai Yaoyao recognized that one. She had seen a task in the trial hall before, collecting amethysts! One amethyst could be exchanged for 500 points! It was equivalent to the reward for completing a level task.

The man carefully placed the amethyst into a basket lined with soft grass next to him.

Bai Yaoyao glanced at it and saw that the basket was almost full. The mermaids next to them also had a similar basket, which was also filled with amethysts...

This is an artificially enclosed undersea mine!

It is a very precious amethyst mine! Even the associated minerals are phantom crystals!

Looking at the scale of this mine, it’s no wonder that they built a “wall” outside it on such a grand scale. It turns out that they wanted to use shadow scale beasts to keep people away.

Bai Yaoyao didn't dare to go forward, so she retreated carefully along the original path. When passing by the "city wall", she also put back the shadow scale beast that she had put into the system backpack.

This is totally inconsistent with what Jack described!

We can't alert the enemy, we have to go back and make long-term plans!
