The words flickered slightly under the illumination of the Gaia Medal.

"My Meng is indeed cautious." Meng Yao was slightly surprised. This message was undoubtedly an important clue.

At least everyone won't be as clueless as before.

"If we follow the vein, we still have a long way to go." Ultraman X consulted the sonar map stored in the terminal. "According to the distribution map, the further down you go, the richer the Victory Crystal becomes."

Meng Yao also looked at the map and suddenly remembered something.

He shouted to Ying through the communicator: "Ying, do you know the situation of the Victory Crystal Core?"

"not sure."

Ying replied through the communicator: "That's something only the Queen and Xiang can access."

"But since the crystal is in a contaminated state, I imagine the crystal core isn't in much better condition either."

Meng Yao was helpless. He put away the Gaia Medal, and the words left by my dream in the water disappeared instantly.

After Catherine finished collecting information, everyone swam downstream again and dived into the turbid sea water.

With the guidance of my dream text, they had a direction this time. Originally, there was a complicated passage behind the mine tunnel, but there was a conspicuous Victory crystal shining on the rock wall, guiding their direction.

After swimming down for a few hundred meters, the corpse appeared in sight again.

Due to the limitations of the environment, these corpses looked no different from living people except that they looked slightly pale.

The narrow passage only allowed two or three people to pass side by side. Hong Kai, who was walking in front, used a searchlight to carefully push aside the corpses to make way for the people behind.

But the number of corpses increased. At first, only two or three appeared in the corridor from time to time.

The deeper they went, the more corpses appeared. Sometimes, when they passed by, they could see dozens of corpses floating straight in other forks in the road.

"What's going on? Didn't they say we'd have to evacuate the mine after the incident?"

Meng Yao was at the back of the group. The depressing environment under the sea was already making people irritable. He tried his best to control his emotions and asked, "Why are there still so many corpses?"

He passed by a corpse and looked carefully, and found a familiar mark.

"Catherine!" Meng Yao pulled Catherine beside him and said, "Is this the symbol of the Deep Blue Church? I remember their tattoo looked like an Agul timer, right?"

There was a strange pattern tattooed on the forehead of the corpse.

It looks very similar to the original Deep Blue followers, but it is completely different.

Catherine took a look and her expression grew serious. "It does look very similar. Logically speaking, wasn't the Deep Blue Church destroyed the day they rescued Fujimiya?"

The two of them stood in front of the corpse for a while, but they had no idea what was going on. They could only take a photo and hurried to catch up with the person in front.

But when they caught up with Hong Kai and others, they found that they had stopped in front of them.

"Why don't you leave?"

Meng Yao swept the searchlight over and saw nothing unusual.

Hong Kai was a little confused. He was responsible for clearing the way, and besides Aix, he was the only one who was looking at the map at all times.

"The line seems to be different..."

Hong Kai pointed ahead, where three holes had appeared. "On the map, there were only two forks in the road, but now there are three."

Upon hearing this, Meng Yao looked at the map and found that it was indeed inconsistent.

The newly appeared cave entrance did not seem to have any abnormalities. Tiny crystals clung to the edge of the cave entrance, emitting a sinister blue light.

[Unable to contact Korfe]

Aix added appropriately: [The mine has changed, we may have been discovered]

Meng Yao observed carefully and was not surprised.

The Victory crystals were clearly contaminated and spread throughout the underground, making it difficult to avoid being discovered.

"No matter how it changes, we just need to move forward according to the distribution of the crystals."

Meng Yao no longer stayed behind. He swam forward a distance and swam side by side with Hong Kai: "Everyone cheer up."

The lights on the seabed were dim. Meng Yao and Kai observed for a while and finally chose to enter from the newly appeared cave.

There was nothing unusual in the cave entrance, except that there were an unusually large number of Victory crystals on the rock wall.

The crowd walked and stopped, looking around from time to time.

There were also drowned bodies in this passage. Meng Yao and Kai led the way, casually pushing away the bodies blocking the way.

"Meng Yao, the body is abnormal."

Hong Kai suddenly came over.

He turned off the communicator and spoke to Meng Yao at close range: "I just saw a strange corpse."

Meng Yao didn't stop his movements. He glanced at the three Dagu people behind him and said, "What's so mysterious that you have to talk about it alone?"

"I just saw a corpse with a crystal tumor broken open!"

Kai lowered his voice and said, "It's empty inside. I suspect some strange force is incubating something with the power of the Victory Crystal."

As soon as Meng Yao stopped moving, another drowned corpse appeared at the corner ahead.

He leaned against the rock wall and rushed forward to the drowned corpse. He reached out to push aside the corpse's clothes and saw that the fist-sized crystal tumor on the neck had broken open.

And there was nothing inside.

"Another one."

Hong Kai also saw it. He looked around with some concern, and suddenly his face froze.

The pale light of the searchlight shone behind everyone, and several corpses appeared.

Hong Kai's sudden movement attracted everyone's attention, and they turned around to look. Da Gu, who was closest to him, was startled.

"What is that?" He continued treading water, moving closer to the group. "Why are all these corpses blocking the way back?"

His light was closer than Kai's and shone more clearly. He saw that the passage was full of upright drowned corpses.

Everyone stopped for a moment.

In the long and narrow passage, the sea water surged, and the floating particles became more and more without knowing when.

The entire field of vision seemed to be filled with flowing fog, as if something unknown was swimming in the water.

"Keep going, don't stop!"

Meng Yao was the first to come to his senses: "Don't worry about the mess for now. It will be bad if it gets blocked."

He jumped far away, with several Ultra Medals already caught between his other fingers.

Hong Kai followed closely behind, and he also subconsciously took out the Orb Holy Sword.

Everyone watched as they walked until they turned the corner, and the outline of the corpse gradually disappeared into the darkness under the light.

After swimming for a long time, Meng Yao and others slowed down their pace.

"Why is the passage narrowing?"

Kai touched the rock walls on both sides and found something wrong.

The atmosphere became urgent for some reason, and there seemed to be another heavy breathing sound in the distance.

No one knew where this breath came from, but it gradually overlapped with theirs, making it difficult to distinguish them.

In the moment of confusion, the sea water parted.

A dark shadow came like lightning.

Kai's eyes were as fast as lightning, and he grabbed the black shadow when it suddenly attacked his face.

Kai looked around vigilantly at first, then put down his hand, holding a wriggling black gas.

"Those things that grew in the tumors on the corpses?"

Meng Yao took a look, and then a badge was revealed, separating him from Hong Kai by half a body length.

More black air appeared like lines, rushing out in the field of vision under the light.
