#428 - [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm] [Riding on the Sea of Clouds!]
"Xiange, what's wrong?"
Noticing Xian Ge's strange expression, Xia En immediately asked.
"What did you find?"
Xian Ge did not hide anything and answered directly.
"Just now, when I was stimulating the power of my bloodline, I once again felt the call of the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm]."
"Moreover, this call is clearer and stronger than the previous ones."
"only……"
Shane raised his eyebrows: "Just what?"
Xiange's expression was a little strange: "The location of the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm] that I sensed is... below the [Sea of Annihilation]!"
Hearing this, Xia En suddenly came to his senses.
The locations where different [Secret Realms] merge with the [Seven Seas World] must be different.
It’s just because the several [secret realms] that have appeared so far are all on the surface of the Seven Seas.
This makes people subconsciously think that the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm] will also appear on the [Silence Sea] in the form of an island.
But now.
This was reminded by the string song.
Xia En realized that the entrance to the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm] was most likely located under the surface of the [Sea of Annihilation].
It is difficult to find the entrance using conventional methods.
Perhaps this is also the reason why the people on the Seven Seas, although aware of the appearance of the ancient dragon, are still unable to find the [Secret Realm of the Dragon's Nest].
As for the roar of the ancient dragon echoing in the sky.
It was probably just the echo from the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm] after the two [Secret Realms] got closer.
Restrain the fluctuating thoughts in your mind.
Shane made a quick decision and said.
"Xiange, get ready. Let's go explore the sea first."
Although the Black Swan also possesses Shane's ability of Deep Sea Body, it can sail underwater.
However, the current [Sea of Annihilation] has been infected by the [Black Tide].
If you get caught in the Kuroshio Tide on the seabed, the danger level will undoubtedly increase greatly.
As for the reason why Shane himself is not worried about the Black Tide, it is very simple.
He has a [Projected Body]!
…
…
After a moment.
Shane's [projected body] appeared under the hull of the [Black Swan] before Xian Ge.
This [projected body] has also undergone significant changes compared to before.
The whole body became increasingly dark and gloomy, emitting a strange and ominous aura.
It's like some kind of indescribable existence.
If other people encountered this [projected body] in the sea, they would probably be frightened to the point of cardiac and respiratory arrest, thinking they had encountered a monster from the deep sea.
After Shane broke through to the legendary level, his [Projected Body] was also able to invoke the so-called [Law of the Void].
This makes the temperament of this body even more mysterious, like an abyss that cannot be plumbed.
Even Shane had a feeling.
The [Projected Body]'s mastery of the [Law of the Void] might be even stronger than his original body!
Feeling his current state, Xia En felt a little emotional.
The talent of [Deep Sea Diving] was originally considered the core ability for him to make a fortune.
He was able to earn his first pot of gold on the sea single-handedly, pay off the debt owed to the Duke of Nova, and later shine in the [Coral City] and [Blood Moon Secret Realm].
All it takes is [Deep Sea Diving].
At this time, it feels quite magical to experience [Deep Sea Diving] again.
Crash!
Soon, Xian Ge also jumped and dived into the sea.
In order to avoid attracting the attention of [Black Tide] due to her body size, Xiange maintained the appearance of a petite loli.
And when he came to Shane.
Xiange couldn't help but shudder, muttering to himself, "Captain's condition is getting more and more terrifying."
That deep black body seemed to be able to swallow all the light; even the surrounding sea water seemed to be dyed with a dark hue.
"What's wrong?"
Xia En noticed something was wrong with Xiange and asked using his mental power.
"Nothing... nothing."
Xiange shook his head, trying hard to suppress the discomfort in his heart.
"I just think the Captain looks... a little scary."
Upon hearing this, Xia En chuckled, "Is it scary?"
"Perhaps, but this state is more beneficial in the deep sea."
Xian Ge nodded and said nothing more.
She knew that Shane was right. Most of the creatures in the Black Tide were strange and dangerous.
This terrible situation will make them feel daunted and fearful.
"Are you ready?" Shane asked.
"Um."
Xian Ge took a deep breath, and the blood power in his body slowly surged, and a faint layer of dragon scale patterns appeared on the surface of his body.
A golden light flashed in her eyes, as if a dragon was swimming in them.
This was a kind of resonance between her and the call of the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm].
"Then let's go."
After Shane finished speaking, he moved and dived towards the deep sea.
Xian Ge followed closely behind, and the two of them dived quickly, one in front and one behind.
As the depth increases, the surrounding light gradually disappears and the feeling of oppression in the sea water becomes stronger.
However, for Shane and the chords, the surrounding darkness was not an obstacle.
Shane's [Lightless Touch] is like a fish in water in the deep sea, while Xiange, with the perception ability of dragon blood, can clearly perceive everything around him.
Perhaps it was because they had just repelled the Black Tide.
At this time, the [corruption power] belonging to the [Black Tide] in the sea water was not so rich and strong.
It also allows Xian Ge to sense the location of the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm] more easily.
Xian Ge closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and felt the call from the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm].
Her dragon blood surged in her body, as if there was an invisible thread pulling her in a certain direction.
"This way."
Xian Ge said softly, then adjusted his direction and swam towards deeper waters.
Shane followed closely behind, and the two of them moved quickly through the deep sea.
As they continued to dive, the surrounding sea water gradually became icy cold and the water pressure gradually increased.
However, this kind of environment did not have much impact on Shane and the others.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
"Captain, I feel... the call of the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm] is getting stronger and stronger."
The sound of the string music was transmitted to Shane's mind through mental power, with a hint of excitement and nervousness.
Shane nodded.
Although he could not directly sense the existence of the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm] like Xian Ge.
But he also has a part of the ancient dragon blood in his body.
So, Shane could feel that there was an ancient and mysterious power permeating the surrounding sea water.
This power is somewhat similar to the aura of Xian Ge, but it is deeper and more vast.
"Keep going, and be careful."
Shane warned, looking around vigilantly.
He was somewhat expecting that some ignorant deep-sea monster would attack them.
After all, his talent of [Deep Sea Devourer] has not been used for a long time.
As the two continued to dive, the pressure around them grew greater and greater, and the temperature of the sea water became lower and lower.
Just as they were about to reach the bottom of the sea, Xian Ge suddenly stopped.
"There!"
The sound of string music came through the mental link, with a hint of excitement.
Shane looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a huge shadow vaguely emerging in the sea ahead.
The shadow was not the Kuroshio, but a majestic underwater mountain range, like a sleeping giant under the sea.
There seemed to be a crack in the center of the mountain range, and a faint light was shining through the crack.
"Is that the entrance to the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm]?"
Shane's heart moved.
Xiange nodded: "I can feel that the call of the Dragon Nest is coming from there."
Now that we have found the entrance to the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm].
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Shane no longer hesitated.
His real body on the Black Swan immediately gave orders to the other crew members.
"Prepare to enter deep dive mode, target... [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm]!"
"Be careful not to leave the range of the hull shield."
"Yes, Captain!"
Joey and others responded in unison.
The next moment.
An invisible and intangible protective shield appeared outside the hull of the Black Swan and quickly covered the entire ship.
With the shield fully deployed.
The Black Swan began to dive slowly, and the hull drew an elegant arc in the sea water, moving towards the direction of the underwater mountains.
Relying on the connection between Shane's real body and the [projected body], he was able to ensure the Black Swan's heading was correct.
The outline of the mountains looks particularly majestic in the deep sea.
The rocks are covered with thick seaweed and corals.
Occasionally a few luminous deep-sea fish swim by, adding a touch of vitality to the silent seabed.
"Captain, I feel that the call of the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm] is getting stronger and stronger."
The sound of the string music rang in Shane's mind again, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.
Shane nodded.
His eyes were fixed on the crack ahead.
The light coming through the cracks became brighter and brighter, as if calling them in.
Shane subconsciously opened the field of vision of [Eyes of Peering into Secrets] and immediately saw an extremely chaotic scene.
Dots and lines of unique colors entangle, converge, and collide with each other.
Shane could tell at a glance that those were lines that did not belong to the [Seven Seas World].
——The lines between different [secret realms] will naturally be different.
Looking closely, those lines look like countless slender dragons swimming around with vigorous vitality.
The different line segments between the two [secret realms] intersected in the crack and continued to merge together.
Turbulence in space continued to emerge from the cracks.
At the same time, a strange and ancient aura emanated.
Obviously, this means that the crack is the passage between the [Seven Seas World] and the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm].
only……
Shane also saw some dark lines mixed in between the two.
"Is that... the secret power of [Black Tide]?"
"Could it also have an impact on the [Dragon Nest Secret Realm]?"
Shane muttered thoughtfully.
For some reason, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
But now, the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm] is right in front of him, and Xia En cannot retreat at this time.
He decisively ordered: "Prepare to enter the crack!"
The Black Swan slowly sailed into the crack. The protective shield around the hull emitted a faint light in the crack, illuminating the road ahead.
And at the moment when the Black Swan completely entered the crack.
A strong feeling of weightlessness suddenly came over me.
The space seemed to be distorted at this moment.
Immediately following.
The scene in everyone's eyes suddenly changed drastically.
When Shane opened his eyes again, what he saw was a strange and new world.
Shane's vision gradually became clear, and the scene before him made him hold his breath.
The deep sea that previously enveloped the Black Swan disappeared.
The light became bright again and everything became clear.
The first thing that catches your eye.
It is a vast, pure white sea of clouds!
The sea of clouds rolls like an endless white ocean.
The waves are rough, yet quiet and silent.
The sunlight shines on the clouds, refracting brilliant light, as if the whole world is covered with a layer of golden light.
At this moment, the [Black Swan] was sailing on this sea of clouds!
"This is……"
Shane didn't remember that the Black Swan had the ability to fly.
That only means that this sea of clouds has some special buoyancy that allows the Black Swan to float on it.
——Different [Secret Realms] may have different rules and characteristics.
At this time, the same is true for the [secret realm] named [Dragon's Nest].
Shane stood on the deck of the Black Swan and looked into the distance.
Everywhere you look, you can see this magnificent sea of clouds.
He took a deep breath and felt an ancient and mysterious atmosphere in the air.
That is the unique aura of the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm].
"Is this the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm]?"
Joey walked up to Shane, his eyes full of shock.
Shane nodded, his eyes deep.
"It seems that we have indeed entered another world."
Xian Ge also walked onto the deck, her eyes gleaming with excitement: "I can feel that this place is filled with the breath of ancient dragons."
"Also, there seem to be many familiar smells!"
"...a familiar smell?"
Xia En was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what Xian Ge meant.
The former Xian Ge was one of the oldest bronze dragons.
And since it is ancient, it means that it must know other ancient dragons.
Nowadays, although Xian Ge started again from the [Ancient Dragon Egg], he couldn't help but remember some of the smell of the "old dragon".
However, Xian Ge himself had never been to the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm] and knew nothing about the environment here.
Now, they can only move forward into the depths of the Dragon's Nest as carefully as possible.
Shane ordered the crew, "Everyone, stay alert and prepare to explore the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm]!"
"Yes, Captain!"
The crew members responded in unison and took action.
The Black Swan sailed slowly in the sea of clouds, and the protective shield around the hull flickered faintly in the sunlight.
As they went deeper, the scene in the sea of clouds gradually changed.
In the distance, huge mountains rise from the sea of clouds.
The scenery on each mountain is different.
Some of the peaks are covered with dense forests, while others look like volcanoes formed by lava.
Others look like a crystal palace.
roar--
Just then, a dragon roar sounded from a distance.
