On the East Sea, at that nameless island.
The rift leading to the underground world had now grown larger than before.
Countless ferocious beasts were still surging out incessantly.
As soon as a group of people arrived, they were surrounded by a pack of ferocious beasts.
Without engaging them further, the gold-mining ship plunged into the rift at maximum speed.
"Mountain Chief, wait up, let my Flood Dragon have a taste..."
Seeing that Fang Er was not stopping, Li Tai became somewhat displeased, his eyes fixed on a giant green flood dragon charging towards them.
Li Ke glared at him, "You want a flood dragon? I have a dragon here, do you want to have a taste?"
Li Tai retorted without backing down, "If you dare to cut it, I dare to taste it!"
Fang Er: ...
Damn it...
When did Li Ke become so indecent?
After entering the rift and descending over a thousand meters, they finally saw the ground below.
The underground world was still dim, identical to what they had seen in the parallel world, with only a few nameless plants emitting a faint glow.
By the time they reached this place, the ferocious beasts ignored them, only rushing towards the rift in a swarm.
It seemed the faint light emanating from the rift held a fatal attraction for these beasts.
They hovered dozens of meters above the ground, surveying their surroundings. This place was entirely unfamiliar to them; they couldn't find any terrain similar to what they had seen in the parallel world.
It was filled with uneven depressions everywhere, a stark contrast to the flat plains they had seen before.
Taking out the map, using Mount Fuji as a coordinate, and recalling the approximate location and distance of Lake Taijin.
Northwest of Mount Fuji, about a thousand kilometers away...
Seoul?
Then, based on their current position, Fang Er immediately looked back behind them.
"Over there!"
He hadn't paid attention to the terrestrial location corresponding to Lake Taijin before. Now that he had clarified it, he felt extremely surprised.
If that was the case, then the traces of Qiongqi appearing near the Changbai Mountains wouldn't be so outrageous.
After all, it was also a major active volcano ranked among the top!
It wouldn't be too unreasonable for one or two to occasionally emerge from the crater.
The group rushed there in a flurry, encountering many ferocious beasts they hadn't seen before along the way.
"Holy crap! Are those mermaids?"
Xue Rengui suddenly pointed to a group of ferocious beasts to the front left, exclaiming in surprise.
Everyone quickly looked over. Under the searchlight, they saw that on the backs of several Feiyi, there were women with human upper bodies and fish tails.
Ge Luoyang's eyes immediately widened, "Holy crap, so beautiful..."
Li Tai cast a contemptuous glance at him, "Can you have some dignity... *slurp*..."
Everyone: ...
You have dignity!
If you have dignity, why are you swallowing saliva!
"This king will catch one to play with!" Li Ke was even more direct and immediately charged forward.
Fang Er was speechless.
Damn it, these reckless fools!
They couldn't move when they saw beautiful women, not even a humanoid creature...
But speaking of which, those mermaid's headlights were huge!
Damn it, why were his thumb and index finger inexplicably itchy, always wanting to pinch something...
This feeling was so strange...
Not long after Li Ke charged out, he was discovered by the mermaids.
One of the mermaids suddenly shouted at the top of her lungs.
Judging by her appearance, she seemed to be shouting with great effort.
But everyone heard not a single sound.
Then they saw Li Ke collapse onto the gold-mining ship, his eyes rolling back, frothing at the mouth, as if he had drunk pesticide.
Fang Er: ???
What's going on?
They were still over a hundred meters apart, and Li Ke... didn't he have a history of epilepsy?
"Your Highness, the King of Han!"
Wang Xuance and the others immediately became nervous.
Li Tai even cried out "Third Brother" and rushed over.
Since the two brothers went to Australia, their bond had become much deeper than when they were in the Great Tang. They often bickered, and although they weren't born of the same mother, their affection was even greater than that of siblings.
Seeing Li Ke suddenly experience such a situation, how could he remain seated?
"Come back! I'll go!"
Fang Er quickly stopped him. The mermaids' means of attack were too bizarre, and they had to be careful.
But by the time he rushed out and was still several meters away from Li Ke, he suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented, as if an invisible hammer was striking his temples.
Holy crap, this could also be a mental attack?
Mermaids who could use magic?
To call them mermaids, in fact, when placed alongside these ferocious beasts, their identity could be explained: Jiaoren!
These were also creatures recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Outside the South Sea, there were Jiaoren, who lived in water like fish, but did not cease weaving and spinning. When their eyes wept, they could produce pearls.
Legend had it that Jiaoren also had males and females. For the group in front of them, Fang Er preferred to call them mermaids.
After all, those two big headlights were too dazzling...
While he was still wondering, he felt his head being hit again by that invisible hammer.
Damn it!
Although this method of attack was encountered for the first time by Fang Er, he quickly reacted. If he guessed correctly, this should be a divine sense attack.
This piqued Fang Er's interest.
They must be captured!
Well, purely for the sake of this attack method, not for those two prominent headlights!
I am a respectable person...
He released his divine sense and slowly approached Li Ke. He could clearly feel the invisible hammer striking his divine sense repeatedly.
After a few meters, just as he touched Li Ke, he felt his mind begin to grow groggy.
By the time he handed Li Ke over to Li Tai and approached the mermaids again, two or three more mermaids let out roars.
"Ah..."
Perhaps because he had released his divine sense, unlike before, this time Fang Er clearly heard the sound.
It was very low, but it felt extremely grating!
It made him want to vomit!
He casually threw a B-2 bomber at them. Several Feiyi were crushed underneath, and the mermaids who were screaming were also flung away.
Instantly, the feeling of dizziness and disorientation vanished.
"Damn it, keep calling!"
A large net appeared in his hand, and he threw it over the mermaids.
The net was a large one used by fishermen. Once the lead weights closed, the several mermaids were firmly covered.
Seeing this, several mermaids around them immediately attacked Fang Er.
It was still that continuous screaming. It seemed they only had this one method of attack.
But at the same time, the surrounding Feiyi were not idle. Their large tails whipped towards him like whips.
