Chapter 345 Entering the water

"Hmm, you're right. But the problem is, this place we're in now is probably the ceiling of this area. To find an exit, we'll probably have to dive underwater. I'm fine, but I wonder how you and Guai Guai are doing?"

As Ling Ye spoke, she glanced at Lin Xiyue and Guai Guai, asking with a hint of concern.

"That's not a problem, I have this."

Seeing this, Lin Xiyue smiled slightly and answered confidently.

However, she was actually panicking inside, and without hesitation, she anxiously told the system in her mind...

System, system, quick, conjure up three sets of diving equipment for me.

[Huh? What kind do you want?]

Hmm, I don't know either. Just make sure you get the safest and most comprehensive one. QAQ

[What?! You don't even know?! How am I supposed to do this? You have to figure out the life card yourself! I'm a system, a system!! [○?｀Д′? ○]]

I know you're the system, that's why I asked you to search! You're the best! (^.^)

[Um, cough cough, well, I, I'll make an exception and help you out. It's definitely not because you're praising me, but because you really need these.]

After the system awkwardly finished speaking to Lin Xiyue, it took out three cards from the life cards that Lin Xiyue had drawn earlier, materialized three complete sets of diving equipment, and then neatly placed them on the ground.

After all that was done, the system went silent, I wonder if it was shy.

"I must say, your ability is truly amazing!"

Seeing this scene before him, Lingye sincerely exclaimed in admiration.

In his eyes, Lin Xiyue just stood there in a daze for a while, and then...

"To be honest, Mr. Lin, are you really not considering joining us? With your abilities, you can definitely play a greater role here."

He took the diving equipment from Lin Xiyue and skillfully put it on while continuing to speak.

"No, then I'll pass. I'm doing quite well running my shop now. And don't underestimate this little shop of mine; although it's small, there's still a lot to handle every day. By the way, did you send He Hailuo out before you came?"

Lin Xiyue smiled slightly and politely declined.

While clumsily following the instructions to help Guaiguai put on the diving equipment, Lin Xiyue asked Lingye with concern.

"Don't worry, I've already gotten her out safely before I came to find you. After all, if she hadn't told me you escaped on your own, I probably would have thought, like everyone else, that you were hidden away by Fei Bo."

Lingye quickly replied with a smile.

"That's good, thank you."

Hearing Ling Ye say this, Lin Xiyue felt a little relieved. She looked at Ling Ye gratefully and said...

"It's all what I should do. After all, I'm a public servant, and protecting the people is my duty."

Lingye waved her hand and said with a smile.

"Then, um, what about Meros?"

Lin Xiyue was silent for a while, then asked somewhat awkwardly.

"Well, that's actually another reason why I came to see you."

Lingye scratched his head and said somewhat awkwardly.

Perhaps he felt that saying it like that would make his intentions in coming to find Lin Xiyue seem impure, but in the end he still told the truth.

"Tell me, is he alright?"

Hearing Ling Ye say this, Lin Xiyue immediately became nervous, worried that something had happened to Molos.

"He, well, he should be alright. Before I came down, he and Philip were fighting fiercely in the sky."

Ling Ye helplessly shrugged and said.

"Oh, well then let's hurry up, I'm really worried about him."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiyue hurriedly spoke up.

"of course."

Lingye nodded, and after he finished putting on his own gear, he helped Guaiguai and Lin Xiyue put on their equipment.

Twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye. The three quickly put on their diving equipment, then stood in a row by the water.

"Let's go down."

Lin Xiyue took a deep breath, her gaze sweeping over Guaiguai and Lingye in turn, and then spoke softly.

"Okay, I'll go down and take a look first."

Before the words were even finished, Ling Ye leaped into the water like an arrow released from a bow, the splashing water shimmering with silver light in the sunlight.

Immediately afterwards, Guai Guai, full of curiosity about everything, excitedly followed Ling Ye and plunged into the water.

Finally, Lin Xiyue jumped into the water without hesitation, the splashing water forming a brief curtain of water behind her.

The moment she entered the water, a chill hit her face, and she couldn't help but shiver, but she quickly adapted to the water temperature.

After entering the water, the three quickly turned on the lights built into their diving equipment. In an instant, the previously dark underwater surface was illuminated by the lights, like a ray of dawn tearing through the endless darkness.

However, when the lights illuminated the water, the three were stunned by what they saw.

The water was murky and the view was a hazy gray, as if the whole world was covered by a thick veil, making it impossible to see the true scene.

What's even more bizarre is that there are some strange, flocculent substances floating in the water.

These flocculent substances drift slowly with the water flow, like ghosts, giving people a sinister and terrifying feeling.

They sometimes gather together and sometimes disperse, making it impossible to discern their pattern.

Fortunately, there were no particularly large objects floating in the water, which made Lin Xiyue and her companions' progress much smoother.

They swam carefully, trying to avoid the fluffy material so as not to obstruct their view.

As Lingye descended deeper, she finally saw the strange cube that Lin Xiyue had mentioned earlier.

This cube stands out starkly in the water, creating a striking contrast with its surroundings.

It does indeed stand firmly in the very center of the room, and it must have been placed there intentionally.

However, in order to find a way out of the room, they did not study the cube for the time being, but decided to split up and search around the room, hoping to find the hidden door they had seen before.

Lin Xiyue and the others moved cautiously, carefully observing the surrounding walls and ground, not missing any possible hiding places.

They circled the room again and again, searching every corner, but unfortunately, apart from the exit they had drifted through, they found nothing unusual anywhere else.

Finally, everyone reluctantly returned to the center of the room and gathered next to the strange cube.

When Lin Xiyue swam to the middle, she suddenly noticed the strange flocculent substances in the water.

These flocculent substances seem to emanate from the cube, drifting slowly with the water flow, giving off an eerie feeling.

Lin Xiyue stared at the cube and discovered that it was actually breathing, contracting rhythmically.

With each contraction, a small wisp of flocculent material floats out of its body and merges into the water. This flocculent material spreads in the water, making the entire area murky.

It seems that the presence of this block is what caused the water to become murky.
