Chapter 1844: Chapter 1689: Escape Game 41
Miao Shuangshuang looked at Xiao Zhongjing, who wore a surprised expression, and continued, "Yesterday, we still suspected that Old Jin’s talk about the bracelet might not be true.
If the bracelet story is false, then, is it possible that the demon’s words are true? This Old Jin is just an NPC, and his words are inherently untrustworthy."
Miao Shuangshuang suddenly looked up at Xiao Zhongjing and said, "Wait here, I’ll go down and check the situation inside."
Xiao Zhongjing immediately panicked: "Don’t, you know there’s danger down there and you’re going to check it out. It’s so dark in there that you can’t see anything, if you encounter a dangerous creature, you won’t even realize it."
Miao Shuangshuang took out two Bright Vision Talismans and waved them: "I have these, Bright Vision Talismans, they can let you see as if it’s daylight anywhere. I originally didn’t want to waste them, but it’s crucial to explore down there now, so I’ll use them."
Miao Shuangshuang said as she used one of the Bright Vision Talismans and handed the other to Xiao Zhongjing: "Use this Bright Vision Talisman too, it’s pitch black in there, you need to be able to see your surroundings when I’m not here."
Xiao Zhongjing took the Bright Vision Talisman, knowing that Miao Shuangshuang had made up her mind and wouldn’t change it. No matter how worried he was, he could only remain silent.
Miao Shuangshuang saw Xiao Zhongjing take the Bright Vision Talisman and asked again: "Do you still have any Guardian Talismans?"
Xiao Zhongjing nodded: "I still have the two Guardian Talismans you gave me, I haven’t used them yet."
"That’s good then, after I leave, I’ll leave the Protective Shield for you. If I don’t return before it disappears, use a Guardian Talisman immediately, don’t be stingy."
Though it’s Miao Shuangshuang using the Guardian Talisman, as long as the owner wishes, the Protective Shield from the Guardian Talisman can switch to a new primary guardian.
It’s not that Miao Shuangshuang is reckless and doesn’t use a Protective Shield, but with the Protective Shield, she can’t even get into the water. Because water can drown people, it’s considered dangerous and will be repelled by the Protective Shield.
Watching Miao Shuangshuang’s figure disappear into the water, Xiao Zhongjing punched the nearby rock wall in frustration, feeling full of regret.
He was still too weak, facing such dangerous situations, he couldn’t even say he’d go with Miao Shuangshuang to check it out, fearing he’d hold her back. This feeling was really helpless and frustrating.
It seems he needs to perform well and strive to increase his game scores, in this way, the strength of his body will also grow faster, and he can become stronger more quickly.
After Miao Shuangshuang entered the water, she swam directly downward. Since her martial arts training gave her a long-lasting breath, she could hold her breath for fifteen minutes even though she hadn’t learned the Turtle Breathing Technique.
Because of the Eye-opening Talisman, Miao Shuangshuang could see clearly underwater. The water depth was unfathomable yet very clean, with only simple rocks around.
On these rocks, just like the ones outside, there were many huge claw marks. Miao Shuangshuang didn’t know how deep she had dived. It was deep enough to start feeling pressure.
Yet Miao Shuangshuang didn’t feel like she had reached the bottom. Were it not for her good physical condition, she’d be injured by the water pressure now.
Uncertain how deep she’d gone, Miao Shuangshuang felt like she passed through some barrier. The surroundings suddenly became spacious, and the water region was growing broader.
Just as Miao Shuangshuang entered this vast water domain, she was so shocked she almost yelled out, for in front of her was a colossal skeleton!
This thing looked like a turtle because it had an incredibly large shell, like a giant mountain, with skeletal remains of its head and limbs.
Though the head was only a skull, it was still immensely large and terrifying, with four limbs sprawling out, long enough to reach out from the Sky Pit, leaving claw marks on the outside rocks.
But these extremely long limbs were quite short compared to its own body. As this massive skeleton appeared before Miao Shuangshuang’s eyes, her first thought was it was a turtle.
Or rather, it was the remains of a Black Tortoise Divine Beast, seemingly dead for an untold duration, now fully skeletal, with only its shell retaining its living form.
Miao Shuangshuang dove down, entered through the gaps in the white bones of the Black Tortoise’s neck, and then swam inside through the middle of its neck bones.
As Miao Shuangshuang was about to enter inside the Black Tortoise’s shell, she felt like she passed through an invisible thin membrane. After passing through, she found the inside of the Black Tortoise’s shell was waterless, a completely dry space.
Miao Shuangshuang breathed a sigh of relief, took a couple of deep breaths, since holding her breath was uncomfortable anyway. She wandered inside the shell.
This Black Tortoise was massive, and its shell naturally spacious, yet inside it was very smooth, with its flesh long gone due to the erosion of time.
Miao Shuangshuang walked a considerable distance and found a small cluster of things at what seemed to be the stomach area of the Black Tortoise - a short sword, three rectangular palm-sized Jade Tokens, and a smooth round pearl.
Miao Shuangshuang had already speculated that if there were really things inside the Black Tortoise, they’d be what it had swallowed, and they’d likely be in the stomach. Sure enough, she found them.
The first thing Miao Shuangshuang picked up was the smooth and round pearl. As soon as she held the pearl, the game prompt sounded: "Congratulations player Miao Shuangshuang on obtaining a Water-Repelling Pearl."
No matter in the deep sea, rivers, or your bathtub at home, with the Water-Repelling Pearl, all water will automatically avoid you.
Friendly reminder, don’t take the Water-Repelling Pearl with you while bathing, or you will never be able to successfully bathe."
Miao Shuangshuang couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow; this game was not only quirky but seemed a bit cheeky.
Miao Shuangshuang bent down again to pick up the short sword, which had no sheath, and neither did she know its material. It was pitch-black, perfect for a sneak attack.
The game’s prompt followed: "Congratulations player Miao Shuangshuang on obtaining a short sword. Don’t be fooled by its pitch-black appearance; it is a demon hunter’s weapon, exceptionally sharp for slaying demons and monsters. Most importantly, it can sever all connections."
Sever all connections? Miao Shuangshuang pondered, what does this connection refer to? Is it an intangible connection or a real-world connection?
After thinking for a long while without figuring it out, Miao Shuangshuang gave up on pondering further and proceeded to take the three Jade Tokens. All three were made of Mutton Fat Jade, feeling warm and delicate - clearly valuable items.
"Congratulations player Miao Shuangshuang on obtaining three Thunder Attraction Talismans that can be used permanently, capable of summoning large-scale Heavenly Thunder to attack ghosts, with power equivalent to a hundred thousand volts.
Please note, each Thunder Attraction Talisman can only be used once every twenty-four hours and requires recharging in the remaining time, and once used, it’s at maximum power.
Special warning, do not use the Thunder Attraction Talisman when water is nearby, or you will be caught in its attack. Please do not act foolishly resulting in your own demise by your items."
