Chapter 783: Bottomless Pit (1)
Editor: Atlas Studios
The interior of the jellyfish was like a large stomach.
Countless sea beasts floated inside.
Some of them were only left with bones, but a large portion of them was not dead yet. Even if half of their bodies had been digested, Jiang Li could still sense the aura of life in their bodies.
“This huge jellyfish really has high requirements for food. It wants to eat the freshest food on the spot.”
The seawater inside the jellyfish was infused with a large number of nerve toxins and digestive fluids.
This made the seawater inside become sticky.
Inside, it was like swimming in jelly, making it difficult for people to move.
Among them, the nerve poison would make all the sea beasts sucked in unable to move, but it would not be worse than death.
Instead, they watched as they were digested bit by bit.
This method of death was really exciting. Perhaps it could be introduced as one of the punishments of Fengdu City.
The poison of the Blue-Ring Spotted Great Sea Dome Jellyfish was indeed powerful, but to Jiang Li and the other three reincarnations of the Immortal Gods, it was nothing. It was still within an acceptable range.
Jiang Li restrained his aura. As he dodged the dangerous tentacles hanging down from the jellyfish, he went deep into the sticky seawater with them.
Soon, he saw a huge hole at the bottom of the sea ahead.
That was the goal of their trip.
“What a deep underwater cave.”
“Oh? This place is actually called the Bottomless Pit?”
Jiang Li landed at the side of the cave and took a few glances. He only saw pitch-black darkness and could not see anything else.
Beside the huge hole stood a rather ancient stone monument.
On it, in ancient text, were the words “Bottomless Pit”.
“The bottomless pit. That immortal spiritual qi is below!”
The darkness in the bottomless hole seemed to be not only because of its depth.
It was because the seawater or this cave itself had some problems. It was truly black.
He reached into the hole and did not see his fingers. However, when he fished out some seawater, he could not see anything strange.
He raised his hand and condensed a ball of light that entered.
This was a ball of light condensed from Jiang Li imitating the Golden Duke’s sun talent.
Light blossomed, so it illuminated the ground for thousands of miles.
However, when the ball of light landed on the hole, the light quickly weakened. After sinking twenty to thirty feet, there was no longer any light.
This illumination level was almost comparable to the flames on the Back Yin Mountain.
If he entered, their eyes would definitely be useless.
“Fellow Daoist Nine Nether, the space in this bottomless hole is very chaotic. You need to be careful.”
Daoist Five Plague came over and handed over a piece of rope.
Jiang Li used the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra to investigate the structure below the bottomless pit.
From the feedback, this should be a straight passageway down.
The depth was just as its name suggested. At the very least, Jiang Li had already used Shanting’s ears but was still unable to probe to the end.
However, he also discovered that the voices inside would always disappear inexplicably.
Perhaps it was because of the twisted and chaotic space that the originally straight passageway became even more complicated.
Due to the darkness of the seawater, his eyes were almost useless.
If not for a rope, they might have dispersed while swimming.
Jiang Li needed their experience in exploring the bottomless pit.
They also needed the trident in Jiang Li’s hand.
At the very least, they could not separate casually now.
After grabbing the rope, Jiang Li stood at the end of the line bravely.
After all, he was the last to join and could not sense the exact location of the immortal spiritual qi.
If he ran to the front and got stabbed in the back, he would be wronged.
He did not tie the rope to his waist and only held it with his hands. This was considered to have completed the preparation work.
The Five Plague Daoist standing in front took out two small weights and hung them on his waist.
Although it was not heavy, after hanging on a person’s body, their weight would increase by ten thousand kilograms.
This kind of artifact was not rare.
Jiang Li had many similar things when he was cultivating his body in the early stages.
However, after he became stronger, they were all useless.
This kind of small thing could be helpful here.
Daoist Five Plague was the first to enter the cave, and the other three followed closely behind.
It began to be dragged down by the tens of thousands of kilograms of gravity.
Jiang Li noticed that the density of the seawater in the bottomless hole was even greater than ordinary seawater.
The ratio was about three to four times that of ordinary seawater.
He could not explain the exact reason without studying it.
However, this meant that in this bottomless hole, every ten feet they fell was equivalent to thirty feet in ordinary seawater.
The water pressure was also three to four times.
One had to know that they were currently at the bottom of a million feet of the black sea.
The terrifying water pressure was already very strenuous for the three of them, who were not from the Sea Race.
Under such pressure, even an Earth Immortal Body would explode.
This was also the reason why they wanted to snatch the merman race’s Water Repelling Pearl.
After diving for about 30,000 feet, the three of them took out an aqua-blue pearl.
It was the highest-grade Water Repelling Pearl that they had snatched earlier.
The Water Repelling Pearl was a natural artifact produced from the body of the clam spirit. It condensed pure water attribute power and could split the sea to avoid water.
