When Xiaobai and his companions arrived on the water, the deep-sea boss warship immediately roared angrily at them, as if its territory had been invaded.
As the deep-sea boss warship roared, a large number of deep-sea fleets began to appear on the surrounding waters.
A group of deep-sea creatures roared and charged towards Xiaobai and his companions like a tidal wave.
Boom boom boom…
The sea surface seemed to tremble.
Xiaobai and Misu remained unfazed; they only glanced briefly at the deep-sea boss before shifting their attention to the super-sized monster beside them.
With a knowing look, she stepped forward and stood in front of Xiaobai and Missouri, her right hand resting across her chest, her left hand gently pinching the ring on her ring finger.
……
Three minutes later.
Xiao Bai and his two companions sat atop the deep-sea boss, watching a group of trembling, kneeling deep-sea minions as they broke through the surface of the water and sailed out of the deepest part of the 8-4 sea area, heading straight towards the city ruins.
"Ouch————"
The deep-sea boss pounded the water's surface with all its might, desperately trying to move forward with its massive body. It would occasionally let out a cry, its voice filled with humility and fear.
"Deep-sea mounts are so convenient." Little White and Missouri sat on the head of the deep-sea boss, touching the cool metal shell beneath them, and remarked, "It just doesn't feel as comfortable as Yamato's little blue whale and little white whale. It's a bit shaky here."
"Be steady." Upon hearing Xiaobai's words, Chaodahe stretched out his foot and stomped on the deep-sea boss's forehead.
"Ouch————"
The deep-sea boss's body immediately tensed up, like a multi-story inflatable boat, only daring to sway cautiously with its mechanical tail.
After sailing in the depths of the sea for about half an hour, as Xiaobai and her group moved away from the 8-4 sea node, the quality of the deep-sea aura around them noticeably decreased. Xiaobai felt that they were in a suitable position, so she slowly got up from the top of the deep-sea boss's head, stood on tiptoe, and looked around.
The sea is now dark and deep, with almost no light.
However, thanks to her ship girl-level eyesight and the advantage of being high up on the body of the deep-sea boss, Xiaobai was still able to take in the situation of a large area of the surrounding sea.
"This location should be about right," Xiaobai said to Chaodahe. "The deep-sea city should be nearby."
"donkey----"
It is very large and produces a long sound.
The deep-sea boss quickly stopped, and the massive mechanical warship slid hundreds of meters across the water before slowly coming to a stop.
Xiaobai and Missouri stood atop the deep-sea boss, constantly observing their surroundings as they glided for hundreds of meters.
"...Eh? It really is..."
Looking at the sea around him, Xiaobai instinctively let out a sound of surprise.
There really aren't any city ruins around here.
The surface of the deep sea is pitch black as far as the eye can see, with waves crashing and the scenery is monotonous everywhere, offering nothing to help determine one's location.
But in Xiaobai's perception, the current location of this sea area should be the ruins of the deep-sea city where he once lived for a long time.
"Missouri, the super-large continent, do you think this is the right place?" Xiaobai turned his head and asked his two companions.
“Missouri thinks this is the place.” Missouri looked around and nodded.
“This is it.” Kazuya nodded.
If both the ship girl and the abyssal dean say it's this place, then it must be here.
Xiaobai nodded.
“Admiral, but it seems there really aren’t any ruins of that city left here,” Missouri added.
“Yes…” Xiaobai said.
"Shall we take a look around?" Missouri asked.
"Hmm...that's fine too." Xiaobai didn't refuse.
Super-large then commanded the deep-sea boss beneath the three of them. The deep-sea boss carried the three of them around the sea within a radius of several thousand meters. During this time, the three of them searched for the location of the deep-sea city, but as expected, they found nothing.
There wasn't a single brick or tile that could be described as building debris on the surrounding sea surface, let alone a deep-sea city.
The deep-sea city... it really seems to have simply vanished.
"Admiral, is it possible that it sank?" Super Big stopped the deep-sea boss and turned to ask Little White.
“This is probably the most likely scenario…” Xiaobai thought for a while, then sighed and rubbed her forehead. “Sigh… there’s nothing we can do now. Super Yamato, Missouri, you two wait here for me for a bit.”
After Xiaobai finished speaking, he started walking towards the edge of the deep-sea boss's body.
"Where are you going, Admiral?" the two companions asked hurriedly.
"I'm going down there to take a look." Xiaobai didn't stop. She stood at the edge of the deep-sea boss's body, pointed to the churning waves and the thick, dark sea below, and smiled slightly at the two of them. "Don't worry, I'll be back up soon."
After Xiaobai finished speaking, before Chaoda and Missouri could speak, she lightly jumped down into the water below like a diver.
Chapter 3515 It can't fly, can it?
Whoosh—thump!
The deep-sea boss was the size of a huge steel warship, with a height of at least tens of meters from its head to the sea surface. Xiaobai jumped from the top of the deep-sea boss's head. For a few seconds, she only heard a whooshing sound in her ears. Finally, her body fell into the cold water with a thud.
Gulu gulu gulu...
The deep sea water was pulling heavily on Xiaobai's limbs.
Little White closed her eyes underwater, letting the seawater drag her legs down.
After a few seconds, Xiaobai, who had closed his eyes, opened them again, revealing a dignified and indifferent expression.
Gudong!
The surrounding seawater spread in all directions the moment Xiaobai opened her eyes, forming a transparent bubble underwater.
Little White landed safely on the bubble, coldly surveying her surroundings.
A pale white figure emerged from behind Xiao Bai; it was another Xiao Bai, like a projection, barely visible.
"Deep Sea Will! I'm counting on you to search what's beneath the surface!" The projection of the little white figure clasped its hands together above its head and pleaded.
"I know." The deep-sea will, which was using Xiaobai's body, glanced at Xiaobai and then waved her hand gently. With a surge of deep-sea energy around them, the transparent bubble carrying Xiaobai's body began to sink rapidly. "To the bottom of the sea, right?"
"Hmm hmm hmm!" Little White's projection slowly landed next to the Deep Sea Will's shoulder, carefully resting its arm on his shoulder, and looked around at the bubbles. "It's so dark underwater."
“This is the deep sea,” the will of the deep sea explained gently. “The seabed is very deep, not only black, but also very quiet. It’s so quiet that you can even hear your own internal organs wriggling and your bones rubbing together.”
"Huh? That's scary?" Little White's projection quickly touched itself. "I didn't hear anything!"
"...What you heard was me." The Will of the Deep Sea looked at Little White. "You're just a spirit now, what kind of physical voice can you hear?"
"Ah... I see." Xiaobai scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.
The will of the deep sea controlled the bubble to continue descending, the surrounding scenery remained pitch black and eerily quiet.
Before I knew it, more than ten minutes had passed.
Gradually, as it went deeper, Xiaobai found that its visibility was getting lower and lower.
Finally, the deep-sea will controlling Xiaobai's body suddenly moved. She slightly raised her hand and made a lifting gesture, and the descending bubbles slowly stopped.
"Have you found the deep-sea city that sank to the bottom of the sea?" Xiaobai asked hurriedly when he saw the Deep Sea Will stop its movements.
"Not found," the will of the deep sea replied.
"So we're at the bottom of the sea?"
"No."
"Huh? So you stopped because..."
“Go back,” the Deep Sea Will said. “This distance is enough for me to scan the seabed. That city isn’t here. If it gets any later, the people up there will start to worry about you.”
"Huh? He's not here?" Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise.
The will of the deep sea shook its head, controlling the bubbles to escort Little White all the way to the surface of the sea.
On the way back to the surface, Xiaobai was still curiously asking the Will of the Deep Sea.
"Deep Sea Will, that city ruins aren't nearby, nor are they on the seabed, so where could it be?"
"I do not know either."
"Then it can't just sprout wings and fly, can it?" Little White asked again.
"Maybe," the Will of the Deep Sea replied. "Anything can happen in this world, can't it?"
"Waaah... Well, no matter what, it's a bit much for such a big city to fly away..." Xiaobai was at a loss for what to do.
"The world is vast and full of wonders," the Deep Sea Will continued to answer, using Little White's face to look at Little White's projection. "The city hasn't disappeared; perhaps we just can't find it anymore."
"I can't find it..." Xiaobai was stunned. She was about to speak subconsciously when she suddenly heard the will of the deep sea look up at the sky.
"We've arrived. It's time to go back," the Will of the Deep Sea said, raising his hand upwards.
boom! ! !
A deafening sound erupted from all around.
Xiao Bai felt a sudden brightness before her eyes, and she and her body left the water and shot straight into the sky.
During her journey into the sky, Xiaobai even felt a powerful suction force coming from the will of the deep sea. Her spiritual body was uncontrollably flowing towards her body and gradually returning to it.
hum...
Xiaobai briefly felt dizzy, and the next moment, she felt herself falling from mid-air, with a muffled buzzing sound in her ears.
Boom!
Immediately afterwards, Xiaobai was embraced by a warm body.
Due to inertia, Xiaobai bounced in the man's arms, and then she subconsciously hugged the man's body, feeling something soft pressed against her chest.
Little White opened his eyes and saw Missouri's smiling face right in front of him.
"Admiral, have you found anything underwater?" Missouri asked with a smile.
"Uh..." Xiaobai rubbed her temples for a while, then looked to the side and saw that Chao Yamato was also looking at her curiously, while the deep-sea boss beneath her didn't dare to move. "...Okay..."
Xiaobai sighed and said to Missouri and Super Yamato.
"Unfortunately, I just looked at the seabed, but there was no trace of a city there."
"Huh? So it wasn't underwater after all?" Missouri and Super Yamato were somewhat surprised to hear this.
"Yes, I was surprised too..." Xiaobai murmured, "How could it not be underwater? If it's not underwater, where did this city go?"
Little White muttered to herself as she stepped down from Missouri's embrace, gazing thoughtfully at the monotonous waves and seascape around her.
If I don't find that city... will I have to go back empty-handed?
It seems I've encountered the same problem as the expedition team.
Xiao Bai has already started thinking about the way back.
However, just as Xiaobai was considering giving up, she suddenly remembered a sentence that the will of the deep sea had said to her when she was underwater.
For an instant.
A flash of inspiration struck Xiaobai.
It's like a drop of water falling onto a still lake.
Immediately afterwards, ripples spread through my mind.
"...Perhaps the deep-sea city hasn't disappeared, it's just that we can't find it anymore."
Xiao Bai murmured to himself, turning back to his two partners and saying this.
"Hmm? Can't find it?" Super Yamato asked curiously, listening to Xiaobai's words. "Admiral, what do you mean by that?"
"Hmm... let me think... how should I explain this?" After thinking for a while, Xiaobai said to Super Yamato, "Super Yamato, do you know why we haven't found the deep-sea city?"
"...Why?" The question was both huge and bewildered.
Xiaobai looked at Missouri.
"...Because of, concepts and methods?" Missouri seemed to understand something, and she tentatively asked Xiaobai.
“That’s right.” Xiaobai nodded. “The expedition team should have already used the normal methods for finding deep-sea cities during their six-month search. They are a professional expedition team. If they can’t find something using normal methods, we probably wouldn’t be able to find it either.”
"...What do you mean by the normal method?" Chao Da was completely confused.
