Chapter 246: The Great Battle in the Capital in the Period Literature (26)

While Ergou was carefully searching for the wrongly sent goods in Cangshan Service Company, he casually glanced around.

Just when he was busy, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a yellowed old newspaper in the corner.

He walked over curiously and picked it up, and found that it was a report about a shipwreck at sea.

The newspaper's date shows it's from 1948, and while the paper has become brittle and fragile with age, the text is still legible.

The entire page describes in detail how a cargo ship sailing from Hengbin encountered misfortune and sank near the Atlantic Ocean.

Lantian stood quietly by, listening carefully to Deser Ergou reading the report word for word.

As the story unfolded, her expression gradually grew more serious. Suddenly, for some unknown reason, Lantian broke the silence: "Ergou, find a way to find this sunken ship."

Ergou, who was reading with great interest, was startled by Lantian's sudden words and was unable to react for a moment.

After a long while, he came back to his senses and stammered, "Sister Lan...Sister Lantian, what did you say? Are you looking for this sunken ship?"

Without warning, the cocky Ergou actually called out the name he privately called Lantian.

Lantian raised his eyebrows after hearing this.

Why does this Tongzi seem to be becoming more and more humane?

However, Sister Lantian does sound much better than the host.

"Ah, what? Found a shipwreck?"

He paused for a moment, and it took him a long time to understand what Lantian meant.

"Oh, that's no problem. I'll go find it now."

Not long after, Dese Ergou successfully found the exact location of the shipwreck with his keen perception.

After Lantian carefully explained the follow-up matters to Dese Ergou, he suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and he instantly withdrew from the mysterious and vast sea of consciousness.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself back in the real world, and subconsciously raised her head to look at the old clock hanging in the room.

The hour hand pointed steadily between nine and ten, and the minute hand landed right on the six mark—it turned out to be half past nine in the morning!

She didn't move, but lowered her head in thought for a while.

Why was I suddenly ejected from the sea of consciousness?

Could it be because of the consciousness that just took shape in the sea of consciousness?

After thinking for a long time, Lantian still couldn't figure it out, so he let it go.

Lantian thought to himself:

Zhou Mingguo and Wan Wan usually started work at 7:00 AM, and they would often leave for the factory about half an hour earlier. So, from the time they left home at 6:30 AM, a full three hours had passed without them noticing.

By noon, the two will finish work at twelve o'clock and return home around twelve twenty.

As a result, the time left for free activities is only more than two hours at most.

Thinking of this, Lantian did not dare to delay for a moment. He quickly took out a brand new deep-sea diving suit from the space treasure he carried with him and put it on neatly with swift hands and feet.

Then, he used his unique skill - teleportation - according to the precise coordinates that the arrogant Ergou had just provided him.

In an instant, Lantian's figure rushed out like lightning and disappeared in the room in the blink of an eye.

However, just as he was about to leave completely, he did not forget to shout loudly at the arrogant Ergou in his mind:

"Ergou, you must help me remember the time! Make sure I can get back on time at 12:15!"

Before she finished her words, Lantian's figure completely disappeared into the endless void, and there was no trace of her in the room.

"No problem! I'll set an alarm right away." The cocky Ergou said while secretly glancing at Lantian.

He muttered to himself: Oh, I don’t know what’s going on. So much time has passed, but I still can’t find any trace of Cangshan.

Sister Lantian’s temper is getting more and more irritable, which is really a headache!

Looking at myself, my mood instantly plummeted when I thought about the obstacles I encountered everywhere in this small world.

I felt extremely depressed all of a sudden.

At this moment, everyone was in a low mood and not in high spirits.

In fact, for the arrogant Ergou, he really couldn't understand why he had to explore the shipwreck from decades ago.

In his opinion, what could be worth in-depth research on a shipwreck that old?

Is it possible to dig out some shocking secret from it?

However, even though he was full of doubts and confusion in his heart, Ergou would never dare to say these words out loud.

After all, Sister Lantian's temper has become more and more irritable during this period.

At this time, if the host is angered, the consequences will probably be quite serious.

Therefore, even though he was reluctant, he could only follow along obediently, hoping to complete the task as soon as possible and get rid of this depressing atmosphere.

Well, since the host is determined to run away, let her go!

After all, she has been in a bad mood recently, so it might be a good idea to let her go out for a walk to relax.

Thinking of this, Ergou comforted himself silently in his heart.

However, just as his thoughts were racing, in the blink of an eye, he was surprised to find himself deep in the sea.

The surrounding sea water was pitch black, looking like an endless dark abyss, with no trace of light at all.

Ergou was startled and quickly stopped his thoughts that were running wild like a wild horse, and began to concentrate on guiding Lantian.

An old and dilapidated shipwreck lies quietly in front of Lantian. Its mottled hull and decayed deck tell of the vicissitudes of the past.

It is worth mentioning that in this wonderful world, there is no so-called aura.

Therefore, although Lantian persisted in exercising every day, the original owner's body was unable to practice martial arts and had no connection with the immortal path. Even the gift of spiritual roots was nowhere to be found.

After being nourished by elixirs and the Five Elements Technique, the original owner's body was much stronger than others.

However, it is still within the established standards of this world.

He can neither fly over eaves nor walk on walls, nor can he draw energy into his body.

The Five Elements Eternal Technique was purchased by Lantian from the system mall using points when he just returned to this world, under the instigation of the arrogant Ergou.

This technique is extremely magical and can be widely applied to all different types of physiques. Even those who have no spiritual roots can practice it.

By gradually tempering the toughness and strength of one's own body over a long period of time, one can eventually gain astonishingly powerful combat power.

At this moment, Lantian, who was one thousand meters deep in the sea, felt more and more deeply the various wonderful benefits brought by practicing this technique.

Originally, this body should not be able to withstand the huge water pressure in such an extreme environment, but surprisingly, she did not feel the slightest discomfort or resistance from the original owner's body.

She floated lightly outside a long-sunken ship, observing with interest the many sea creatures that made the wreck their cozy home.

These marine creatures swam freely in the boat, sometimes playing and frolicking, sometimes leisurely foraging for food, it was very lively.

Lantian slowly approached the shipwreck and finally swam into it through a completely destroyed doorway.

After entering the cabin, what she saw was even more eye-opening.

Various shellfish, seaweed and colorful fish and shrimps are scattered all around, forming an underwater world full of vitality and mystery.

The light inside the ship grew dimmer, and the endless darkness swallowed up all light.

However, after tempering, the body showed amazing changes.

Lantian noticed this keenly, and a sense of confidence and surprise surged in his heart.

She was pleasantly surprised to find that she could see her surroundings clearly in such dim light.

Although it was not as clear as when the lights were on, at least she was no longer completely immersed in darkness and unable to see anything as before.

This visual improvement made her extremely excited, as it was like having a special ability.

Lantian gently turned on the underwater light on his head. In an instant, a beam of bright light penetrated the darkness and illuminated the road ahead.

Many fish in the sea were attracted by the sudden light and swam happily towards Lantian.

They dance around the light source, forming a magnificent spectacle.

Lantian stretched out his hands from time to time and gently fiddled with these colorful fish.

Their smooth scales sparkle with colorful light under the light, as beautiful as a dream.

Some of the fish playfully swam between her fingers, bringing an itchy sensation; others curiously stayed in her palm, having close contact with her.

At the same time, Lantian did not forget the purpose of this trip.

While enjoying playing with the fish, she concentrated her mind and carefully searched her surroundings with her spiritual sense.

Every corner and every subtle movement could not escape her perception.

She concentrated on searching for any secrets or clues that might be hidden there, not missing any abnormality.

"Ergou, please tell me quickly, what kind of magical spell is this so-called Five Elements Turtle Breathing Technique? Ever since I started practicing it, I feel like I've been reborn!"

The person who was speaking was named Lantian. He was currently inside a sunken ship. He curiously asked Ergou beside him while moving back and forth in the cabin, seemingly quite bored with the surrounding environment.

The guy called Ergou scratched his head and answered innocently:

"Oh, Master Host, please don't make things difficult for me! I really don't know much about the things in the system mall. Even if I want to get something useful from it, I have to redeem it with points!"

Hearing this, Lantian couldn't help but feel surprised and asked quickly:

"Oh? I see. Then, Ergou, tell me, what treasure do you desire most? Maybe when I have enough points, I can help you get it back!"

As he spoke, Lantian showed a sly smile on his face, obviously trying to tease Ergou, who looked a little arrogant.

"Of course I'll transform into a human! I want to wear beautiful clothes and eat all kinds of delicious food. Once my image is completely solidified, I can immediately taste the food. Hahahaha."

After hearing this, Lantian couldn't help but feel a little funny.

At this moment, Lantian was thinking secretly in his heart:

How come Tongzi's idea is so similar to what those people who just want to lie down all day long desire?

Could this really be such a coincidence?

She smacked her lips softly, and the more she thought about it, the more amusing it became.

And for some reason, as she spent more time with Tongzi, she felt more and more that Tongzi was like a spoiled child, sometimes willful, and sometimes so cute that people couldn't help but want to tease him.

However, Lantian was not completely sure whether this feeling was just an illusion.

At this moment, Ergou, who was originally talking with great joy and excitement, suddenly seemed to be ignited with passion and became very excited.

He began to talk incessantly about all kinds of delicious food, such as delicacies from land and sea, special snacks, listing them one by one as if they were his own treasures; then, he changed the subject and began to describe all kinds of beautiful clothes, from gorgeous dresses to fashionable daily wear, all of which were vividly described.

Lantian listened quietly at the side, sighing in his heart:

I really didn't expect that Tongzi actually has such a vain and particular side about dressing up!

Ergou's energetic voice continued to echo in this quiet sea, appearing particularly noisy and complex.

As time slowly passed, day after day, Lantian gradually felt that the surrounding environment was becoming more and more noisy.

At first, the noise was only heard occasionally, but gradually, the sound penetrated into every corner.

As for Ergou, he became more and more excited as he spoke, and his emotions became more and more high. Words kept pouring out of his mouth like a machine gun.

Lantian couldn't help but frown slightly, thinking to himself: "Isn't this too noisy?"

At first, she could barely tolerate the noise.

But as time went on, the noise became more deafening and she became increasingly upset.

"It's really noisy!"

Lantian couldn't help but complain softly.

However, Ergou seemed completely unaware of Lantian's dissatisfaction, and continued to talk to himself, his voice getting louder and louder.

At this time, Lantian's mood had changed from initial joking to irritability.

She really found it difficult to understand why Ergou could talk so endlessly and tirelessly on this issue.

"It's too noisy! It's unbearable!"

Lantian finally couldn't hold back his inner anger anymore and glared fiercely at Ergou who was talking saliva flying. He secretly disliked this guy for being too arrogant and not caring about other people's feelings at all.

Thinking of this, she suddenly threw a silence symbol at the arrogant Ergou.

Now, the world is finally quiet.

The cocky Ergou was talking excitedly when he was suddenly muted.

He was confused, but helpless.

I couldn't help but think to myself, as expected, Sister Lantian has been really unpredictable during this period. She gets angry whenever she wants.

I feel so wronged...

Lantian stopped talking and searched carefully in the space of the shipwreck.

Suddenly, a black light flashed in Lantian's eyes.

Lantian's heartbeat suddenly slowed down.

She slid in the direction she had just sensed.

"Host, there is a warehouse ahead. Oh my God, oh my God, my Lord God, my host."

The arrogant Ergou suddenly started shouting loudly and disorderly in Lan Tian's sea of consciousness.
