Drift with the waves? No! Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea

Everyone was briefly unconscious for a moment under the huge impact.

Only Cheng Shi, with a pair of bright eyes, controlled this broken raft that could barely be called a floater, struggling to move at the bottom of the water.

Yes, Cheng Shi didn't faint.

At the moment the giant wave faced him, he released all his skills to himself in advance, leaving enough margin.

This also allowed him to withstand the huge impact and keep awake all the time.

As for the others...

Forget it, just vomiting some blood, won't die.

Who told them not to be the captain!

When the battle line changed from the mountain peak to under the sea, Cheng Shi, who possessed underwater healing, changed from a slacker priest to an acting captain with high authority!

He only needed to cast a water healing on himself, and then share the effect of underwater breathing with his teammates through Bathing in Divine Grace, and he could breathe the most air with the lowest consumption.

Not only that, a priest is a profession with the highest affinity for water elements besides water element judges. As long as the operation is fine, he can completely control the "raft submarine" in places that are not surging undercurrents and become the navigator for everyone!

In fact, Cheng Shi has already been doing so.

Zhao Qian's physique is worthy of being the best, he was the first to wake up.

When he felt that he could still breathe, and saw Cheng Shi controlling the raft to continue drifting to the depths of the seabed, he knew that the situation had been stabilized by his teammate.

He was very gratified.

Not because Cheng Shi suddenly became reliable, but because underwater healing didn't make him pregnant inexplicably.

Others woke up one after another, feeling that their state was not bad, and they also breathed a sigh of relief.

The players' current situation is very peculiar:

The "hollow logs" hit solid by vines showed good sealing and buoyancy, so they were on the very top.

Several vine baskets were hung upside down under the bamboo raft, each basket hiding a player. Although everyone was soaked in the water, because the effect of underwater healing was significant, their breathing was not affected.

If one has to say what is uncomfortable, it is that breathing air has become breathing seawater.

The feeling of turbid seawater being inhaled into the nasal cavity and then disappearing is still not very comfortable.

But also because the raft's buoyancy was too good, Cheng Shi found it still difficult to operate at such a deep bottom of the water.

Fortunately, the teammates were not slackers, and they wouldn't just watch like him when others were working.

Tao Yi took a few vine strips from the scraps extending outside the vine basket for the first time, condensed them into square boards and tied them to her hands, and began to use her arms as oars, manually assisting.

Others followed suit when they saw it.

Only Zhao Qian was still observing the situation around him without moving.

Cheng Shi glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and became a little interested in this captain.

This believer of 【War】 gave him a strange feeling. Although he automatically took the lead in command, he almost didn't exert extra effort except when necessary.

Of course, this conservative style of trial that preserves strength is used by many players, and it is also very easy to use when there is no mutual trust.

But Zhao Qian is still a bit different from them.

He doesn't look like an absolutely selfish person, his eyes are also full of longing for cooperation, but he happens to do things that are relatively "alone".

This faint sense of contrast... is very awkward.

But as long as he didn't do anything unfavorable to himself, let him go.

He seems to have thought a bit too much, Cheng Shi laughed, and continued to be Sun Ce.

Just as Cheng Shi was controlling the bamboo raft while observing everyone, Tao Yi spoke.

"Gurgle gurgle... Cheng Shi, aren't we drifting up... gurgle gurgle..."

"The wind and waves above cannot be determined, our small broken raft can't withstand the second wave of such a big wave, underwater is safer."

"Gurgle gurgle... is that so, can your mental power withstand it, my affinity for water is okay... gurgle gurgle... if not, change me to drive for a while..."

How can that be, I just got addicted to playing!

Cheng Shi enjoyed the fun of being a captain. With this level of mental power consumption, he could almost swim underwater for a whole day.

Provided that the underwater is always so calm.

Cheng Shi didn't respond to her directly, but asked with a smile:

"Why do you have to spit water gurgle gurgle when you speak."

"Gurgle gurgle... don't you think this is very like a fish... gurgle gurgle... we are now underwater people... so fun!"

"......"

Innocence defeated naivety, Cheng Shi had nothing to say.

The storm raged on the water surface, but the underwater was quite quiet.

Except for avoiding some debris and garbage blown over by the seawater, the entire seabed journey was almost without danger.

Unfortunately, good times didn't last long.

After sneaking in the sea for a few hours, the accident happened again.

Although all senses underwater were far less keen than on the ground, Zhao Qian still seemed to notice something and warned:

"Be careful, something is coming from below!"

Hearing the warning, Cheng Shi's heart tightened.

Their current position is probably in the upper-middle section of the seawater, just able to avoid the storm on the sea surface, but they can't see where the seabed is at all.

It stands to reason that in such a long time after the giant wave smashed, the things that should have floated up in the seawater should have floated to the upper layer, and the things that should have sunk should have long left this area.

At this time, being able to encounter something rising from the seabed, its danger is self-evident.

"What is it, a living thing? Or a dead thing?"

"Cheng Shi, can you turn to avoid it? Let's work harder, row faster"

"Below? How come I didn't see it?"

Cheng Shi was at the very front, with the best forward vision, but the downward vision was about the same as everyone else's. He couldn't see anything underneath at this time either.

The seawater washed away too much surface mud and was turbid, and the vision was very poor. Zhao Qian could warn in advance, obviously not relying on eyesight.

"Can't see anything! Can you perceive what it is?"

Zhao Qian closed his eyes and spread his mental power out like sound waves. In just an instant, his face became extremely ugly.

"Can't avoid it! There are things in front, back, left, and right, Cheng Shi! Going to hit it!"

"Whoosh—"

As soon as the voice fell, the raft was spun by the torrent.

"Gurgle gurgle..."

Countless bubbles rose, and this time it was really gurgling.

"Everyone, protect yourselves! Nanny, prepare for treatment!"

No need for Zhao Qian to say more, the moment the rotation started, Bathing in Divine Grace had already surged towards all team members with seven or eight healing spells.

Cheng Shi's face was solemn, not daring to take it lightly at all.

Because he had already seen clearly what the things surging from below were.

That was a giant beast he had never seen before. The flesh-turned-out skin and half-open, half-closed white pupils showed that this behemoth had already died. It rose from the seabed like a bloated balloon, floating upward.

It's just that in the process of floating up, it hit the players.

Calling it a hit is actually a bit inappropriate.

Compared to the size of the giant beast, the raft where the players were was like a fishing boat under a giant ship, and the proportion was seriously unbalanced.

The raft hitting this behemoth probably didn't have as much impact as the rolling of the seawater on it.

But such a collision was devastating for the raft.

Fortunately, the bamboo raft didn't hit the giant beast solid, but was sucked forward by a huge suction force, and the whole raft disintegrated and fell apart under the wrapping of the rapid water flow.

Everyone's face became extremely ugly, because they finally discovered what Zhao Qian meant by "there are things in front, back, left, and right".

Tao Yi held a vine log tightly, widened her eyes in horror, and asked in disbelief:

"We... this is..."

Cheng Shi tugged at Gao Yu, his brows furrowed tightly as he replied in a low voice:

"That's right, it's exactly what you're thinking.

We...

have crashed into the belly of a giant beast."
