Chapter 170

Just as Zhen Hu was speechless at his younger brother's bizarre thought process, the long-necked dinosaur beneath them suddenly let out a mournful cry.

"Holy crap!"

"Zhen Hu?!"

Ming Mei, who wasn't on the same dinosaur as Zhen Hu, clearly saw the changes in the waves beneath Zhen Hu. The long-necked dinosaur's head first tilted upwards above the water, followed by a mournful cry before disappearing into the water!

In that instant, Zhen Hu and the others fell into the water and floated.

"Below! That thing is dragging down our long-necks!"

After Ming Mei said that, the dinosaur beneath her suddenly changed direction, seemingly to save its companion, and dove down!

One second Ming Mei and the others were feeling sorry for Zhen Hu falling into the water, the next second they were in the water themselves.

Ming Mei: "..."

As the cold seawater went over her head, Ming Mei couldn't help but blink.

Without struggling or shouting, she simply felt that the sensation was novel. It was the first time she'd felt so small, falling into the endless depths of the sea.

The feeling was familiar.

Ming Mei watched the moon above her getting smaller and smaller, until the surrounding blue gradually turned black. Only the moonlight remained, and that was when she realized her situation might be bad?

Realizing she couldn't stay like this, Ming Mei tried to swim upwards. Suddenly, she felt someone grab her hand.

Turning her head, she saw it was Mu Chen.

Ming Mei: 0.0?

Why was he here too?

Compared to Ming Mei's bewildered expression, Mu Chen's face was unusually grim. Looking at his face, even more terrifying than when she herself was frowning, Ming Mei felt inexplicably guilty.

Mu Chen pursed his lips and pulled her upwards, until they both surfaced and took a breath of fresh air. Then Mu Chen hugged her tightly.

He forcefully pressed the back of Ming Mei's head with one hand, not giving her a chance to escape his embrace, and said, "You don't know how scared I was when I turned around and couldn't see you..."

As he spoke, he tried his best to control his voice, afraid that he would scare her by yelling.

He was really scared. Even in the game, Mu Chen was afraid of Ming Mei suddenly disappearing from his sight.

But when he dove down and saw her blinking, looking like nothing had happened, the fear in his heart vanished instantly, replaced by anger.

The heartless little thing was having fun by herself QvQ!

But after saying that, he was still a little angry!

So, Mu Chen, unwilling to say harsh words, took advantage of the seawater to hide it and lightly spanked Ming Mei's bottom.

Ming Mei: ???!!!

What the heck!

This guy!

Ming Mei's eyes widened as she looked at Mu Chen with shock and accusation.

She didn't expect this guy to be like this!

…

"Aoo--"

It wasn't just Ming Mei's dinosaur that suddenly went into the water. Faced with this situation, the other long-necked dinosaurs didn't stand idly by. Several more dived into the sea.

In an instant, there were dozens more players floating helplessly on the sea.

But soon, the other dinosaurs that hadn't moved began to raise their tails and gathered the players onto their bodies.

Naturally, this included Ming Mei and the others.

Even though the players were rescued, many were still focused on these usually herbivorous giants.

They were worried about these behemoths.

Although both sides were large, and their side had the numbers, their side was vegetarian, while the other side was carnivorous!

"Can they really save their companions?"

Some players couldn't help but worry that even four or five of them couldn't beat the giant-mouthed monster with sharp teeth.

"Probably... Look, the remaining big guys haven't run away, they're waiting here, so they must be confident, right?"

"Is that so?"

Seemingly infected by the calmness of the behemoths beneath them, everyone gradually began to have hope for the ones fighting in the sea.

"Zhen Hu."

At this time, Hu Geer, carrying his weapon, walked to Zhen Hu, who had just been rescued and was soaking wet.

"What's up?"

"Um, can you help me talk to them, to let me ride on their tail?"

"Huh?"

Zhen Hu didn't understand Hu Geer's words. Hu Geer smiled, opened his animal skin coat, and revealed a long strip that he had made at some point, wrapped around his body.

"Later, I'll go into the water, tie one end of the strip to the big guy's tail, and if I don't come up after two minutes, can you tell it to swing its tail tip and scoop me up?"

"Dude, are you crazy?"

Hearing that he wanted to go into the water again, the others were also shocked.

But looking at the burning fighting spirit in Hu Geer's eyes, everyone didn't know what to say.

Ming Mei also heard his words and her eyes lit up. She immediately turned to look at Mu Chen and Lu Gui, and their eyes also lit up, as if they wanted to try too.

However, Mu Chen turned his head and saw Ming Mei's equally bright eyes, and remembering her previous performance in the water, he immediately turned to look at Lu Gui and said solemnly, "You can go down with peace of mind."

Lu Gui: ???

Are you cursing me? You are, right?

"Giant beast battles, and underwater, that's a rare sight, aren't you going down?"

Lu Gui was only stunned for a second by Mu Chen's words. Then he glanced at Mu Chen and Ming Mei, and asked as if he was eager for a show, "Ming Mei, do you want to go down together?"

Mu Chen: !!

Ming Mei: "Um... I, I think I'll pass."

Remembering the situation in the sea just now, and meeting Mu Chen's dark expression, Ming Mei decided she wouldn't tempt fate for now.

And the attitude of Zhen Hu and the others changed quickly.

Just now they were shocked and thought Hu Geer's idea was too naive, but after hearing Lu Gui say that even if they were just a human-shaped camera, watching the whole process would be a valuable experience, everyone actually agreed to this method.

One by one, they were eager to try and go down with Hu Geer.

Among them, Zhen Po's idea was very simple: "We're all partners, although we're small, what if we can help? What if?! I want to try even if there's only a slight chance."

Zhen Po still didn't put down the toad wrapped in animal skin.

Zhen Hu wanted to tell his brother that this thing was highly poisonous and if it was diluted or spread in the water, it would be embarrassing if it poisoned their companions.

But as if knowing what someone would think, Zhen Po patted the animal skin and said, "This thing is waterproof! As long as I hold on tight, I'll just find a chance to throw it into the other guy's mouth! If I miss, I'll just scoop it back! Don't worry, it won't poison anyone!"

"Okay then…"

Zhen Hu sighed helplessly.

…

Hu Geer and the others went into the water quickly, but after entering the water, he realized that the ideal was beautiful, but the reality was harsh.

Everyone's vision wasn't clear on the sea, let alone in the deep sea at night.

They stared wide-eyed at the dark mass below, unable to tell which was the head and which was the tail, intertwined with each other. Occasionally, they were almost stunned by the undercurrents surging up from the bottom of the sea.

Lu Gui tightly grabbed the strip around his waist, staring intently at the dark shadow below. After staring for a long time, he finally saw that the dark shadow wasn't constant.

The dark mass occasionally separated into several shadows, then rushed towards the middle again, then separated again.

Every time this happened, the undercurrents in the sea became more turbulent than before. Realizing this, Lu Gui's observation became more careful, and the more careful he was, the more he discovered—how was this shadow getting bigger?
