When Chen Changan saw that the tiger shark was dead, he immediately deactivated Mirage.
The massive temple vanished in the blink of an eye.
In less than a minute, 26 points of divine power were used up.
“Five dishes are gone just like that!” Chen Changan couldn’t help but sigh.
Further away, a large batch of drifting materials surfaced.
Chirp chirp~
Orange had a strong sense of self-management. Without needing Chen Changan to say anything, Orange swam to the bottom of the floating supplies like a torpedo and brought back the most important lottery barrel.
Chen Changan stretched out his hand to collect the tiger shark’s corpse and quickly absorbed the seawater that was mixed with its blood.
Even a mosquito’s leg was meat!
The mixture of shark blood and seawater only needed to ferment for a period of time to become good fertilizer material.
One by one, Orange threw the drifting supplies onto The Flying Henan People. The joy of harvests was always especially delightful.
Chen Changan’s lips curled up slightly. He had originally planned to return to the ship to enjoy the pleasure of opening the box, but his gaze unconsciously turned to the sea where the drifting supplies were.
Where did the floating resources come from?
This question troubled millions of ‘idle classes’ in the Deep-Sea Forum. Although some divers had tried to dive deeper, the Deep Sea World lacked diving equipment. A few minutes of breath holding was insufficient to explore the deeper undersea world.
As for the danger, the human elites of the Deep Sea Forum generally concluded that the Deep Sea World was mainly made up of oceans. There was almost no land, but there were a large number of races and lives, including many weak races.
If there were too many dangers under the sea, it would be difficult for these weak races to obtain the resources needed for reproduction.
Chen Changan pondered for a moment and estimated: “I should be able to hold my breath for five to seven minutes.”
When he chased after the tiger shark, he was further aware of the Water Spirit Bloodline’s power. Not only could it increase one’s swimming speed, but it could also allow the body to slowly absorb oxygen-like substances from the seawater.
He wanted to give it a shot! Perhaps there would be a great harvest!
“Orange, swim downward and toward the floating resources!” Chen Changan gestured with his hand, and Orange immediately understood his order.
It turned its head and swam to the bottom of the sea.
Orange didn’t take any precautions; it would do whatever its master told it to do.
“When it comes back, I have to give it five kilograms of squid!” Chen Changan’s tone contained slight guilt, but he didn’t simply ask Orange to scout for him.
Orange’s introduction column had a record of it escaping from deep-sea evil beings. If it really encountered any danger, with its powerful sensitivity, it would definitely drag Chen Changan away from danger.
Chirp chirp~
Orange went down, and Chen Changan followed.
The water was 10mm, 20mm, 30mm, 50mm… They went deeper.
The temperature of the water decreased more and more, and the light around them lessened. The sound of heartbeats and breathing became clearer.
For some reason, Chen Changan felt a deep-sea fear of being swallowed by loneliness.
Single-cell organisms took three billion years to evolve into humans from the bottom of the sea. But as a result, humans began to fear the way they came!
In the silence, Chen Changan could sense a powerful will deep within the sea.
“Should we continue to dive deeper?” Chen Changan was a little hesitant; he had been diving for nearly five minutes. ‘Although Orange can launch Rapid Diving and bring me back to the sea surface in ten seconds, I should plan for some leeway.’
At this moment, he suddenly saw something familiar—a broken statue!
Chen Changan saw that there was a statue of a human-like figure hidden between the cracks of an underwater rock. However, it wasn’t one of the God of the Ocean.
Chen Changan looked slightly confused. ‘Why is a statue of the God of the Earth submerged in the sea?’
Chen Changan recalled what he had seen on the treasure island. Among the three statues, only the God of the Ocean’s statue remained intact. The God of the Sky and the God of the Earth’s statues had been destroyed.
‘If I were to dive a few dozen meters deeper, I might be able to uncover the secret!’
But when he thought of the treasure island, Chen Changan’s PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) was instinctively triggered, and he instantly lost the mood to continue exploring. He said unhappily, “I’d better run.”
Chen Changan clapped his hands hard; this was the signal he had agreed on with Orange before diving. Once Orange heard Chen Changan clapping, it would drag him back to the surface.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
The sound of clapping could be heard through the water.
Orange turned its head and floated up, rushing to Chen Changan’s side like an arrow released from a bowstring and bit the cloth on his back.
Rapid Diving!
A powerful stream of water surged beneath Chen Changan. In just a few blinks of the eye, the gray seawater turned back into noon sunlight.
“Huff~” Chen Changan took a deep breath. He still couldn’t forget the statue’s appearance.
He had a premonition that he would very likely miss out on some great opportunity if he missed out on that statue.
‘Should I dive deeper or give up? Tsk! The multiple-choice questions are always a dilemma!’
“I shall flip a coin. Heads will be to remain on the ship, while tails will be to dive into the sea!” Chen Changan took out an Enas gold coin and threw it into the air.
When the gold coin fell from the sky, Chen Changan obtained the answer he wanted.
People shouldn’t be defeated by PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). After all, if one couldn’t walk, couldn’t one just cut off their legs?
Chen Changan was convinced.
“Store!” Chen Changan didn’t care whether the gold coin showed heads or tails. It was directly stored in the trading market.
Thump!
The salty sea breeze blew against the dark boat. The boat swayed, but the bow was empty.
Orange followed Chen Changan into the sea.
Perhaps Chen Changan’s actions were a bit youthful and impetuous, but he was still a young man after all.
With the help of his Water Spirit Bloodline, he kept using the seawater to help him dive deeper.
After diving for about five minutes, Chen Changan finally saw the God of the Earth’s shattered statue.
The statue depicted an old farmer in a short, brown sackcloth. He didn’t look noble; instead, he looked like an old man resting in the fields. He didn’t have the dignity of a god.
Chen Changan tried to swim half a step closer and could clearly see where the statue had shattered.
The most damaged part of the broken statue was on the back.
Chen Changan couldn’t help but think, ‘There are usually two possibilities for an injury to the back. It could either be an attack from a teammate while escaping or… The God of the Sky and the God of the Earth’s statues have both been shattered, but the God of the Ocean’s statue is still in perfect condition, allowing the sea to expand all over the entire world. Could it be…’
Chen Changan thought about it carefully and silently stopped this bold idea.
At this moment, the statue of the God of the Earth suddenly emitted a faint glow, similar to the glow emitted by the Mazu statue when it resisted the Sea Demoness.
A system prompt sounded: “Do you accept the regional main mission—Restoring the Treasure Island?”
