Chapter 1270: Chapter 601: Beneath the Pool Layers, a Black Sea!
He gradually cald down, thinking of what Boss said before, then recalling what Boss and Li Huiyuan said, he couldn’t help but wonder: “Could this be the swimming pool that Boss talked about, recognized after deepening cognition…?”
Indeed, according to this view, he truly couldn’t swim to the other side.
Thus, he gave up resisting, following Boss’s advice, maintaining so observation and feeling—because it helped him quickly enter the sinking state.
The danger was inevitable, but this behavior itself was also a necessary part of his training.
He then slowly moved his arms, continuing to swim in the pool.
Then, he took a mont to glance at his watch.
He didn’t deliberately lift his hand out of the water, but during the movent of his arms, he glanced at the watch face.
Water splashes twisted so of the dial’s hands, but the ti was approximately right, seemingly 16:40.
“Huh, wait…”
Lin Yi’s heart stirred slightly, not because there was a problem with the watch, but just now when he looked at the ti, in a daze, the corner of his eye seed to catch a fleeting black shadow.
“Was it an illusion?”
He clearly didn’t believe in illusions.
The probability of illusions appearing in this place was even lower than Phantom Vision.
He then slowly lowered his head, searching for so figure in the water below.
But not looking was fine, once he did, the water beneath him visibly beca dark, the LED lights gradually weakened, the water grew increasingly dim…
At this mont, a shiver suddenly spread across his skin—he incredibly developed a fear of the deep sea in an indoor swimming pool!
“Fear of the deep sea? Not good!!” Lin Yi’s heart sank, he suddenly understood what the persistent gloom hovering in his mind was all about!
Indoor swimming pool?
Infinite enlargent…?!
Layer Phantom Vision!
No!
Spatial distortion, Layer Transition!!
He was definitely undergoing Layer Transition just now!
The place he was in now, was both a swimming pool, and… another layer’s The City Wall!
Moreover, this was not even the worst!
The worst was, the place he was in now, without a doubt, was—
“Boom—”
Lin Yi’s pupils first contracted, then rapidly expanded!
His Perception Tentacles wildly danced, like countless octopus tentacles, each fictional sucker on the Perception Tentacles madly capturing the pheromones within the layers, endless green grid lines continuously extending outward…
“My World”, accelerated rampage!
The entire swimming pool in his perception began transforming following the Gymnasium’s evolution into the Giant Do!
Since the Gymnasium was part of The City Wall fortress, the underlying logic of the architecture was surely consistent!
Sure enough!
As he kept breaking and evolving, the entire Swimming Hall began to tilt and distort, the building cluster below began to erge from the water, like a submarine surfacing, not only breaking the water surface but forming a towering city wall chasm!
And he—instead followed the parted seawater, endlessly sliding into the pitch-black abyss, becoming a drifting weed in the black sea blocked outside by the city wall!
Yes!
Without a doubt!
The place he was in now, was indisputably within that black sea outside the city wall!
…
May 11, X023 year, 16:41, beneath the layers, black sea.
The towering city walls, with every brick written full of despair, Lin Yi was tossed into the black sea, like a desperate child fallen into a deep well.
“Swish—swish—swish—”
The black sea waves, turned into surge after surge, ceaselessly pushing past his body, giving him layer upon layer of goosebumps.
Lin Yi silently paddled his arms, keeping himself sowhat afloat on the sea surface, avoiding sinking.
“Whew, whew, whew…”
He started panting, also increasingly understanding what Boss ant by drowning.
Turns out it wasn’t about swimming to exhaustion in the pool, but exhausting oneself swimming in the black sea… then sinking.
Beneath the sea, shadows darting endlessly…
Purebred Nightwalker!
“Could it be Purebred Nightwalker?”
If it was, then it might not be so bad.
But Lin Yi thus far has already encountered two powerful Nightwalker variants.
One kind invaded the Art Building Bell Tower’s outer wall, able to devour perception, symbiont-like Nightwalker, while another kind, was the hunting dog-like Nightwalker that had entered the Art Building itself.
By comparison, the first type of Nightwalker was scarier, but the second type of Nightwalker was more disgusting.
He quickly perceived the surge of the dark current, at this mont he was like a piece of bloody at dropped into the Amazon River, attracting countless piranhas!
Sure enough, Lin Yi seed to have triggered a chanism within the Pharaoh’s Tomb, summoning Sacred Beetles, countless pitch-black figures swarming in the dark current, quickly eyeing this piece of at!
He felt sothing touched his skin, initially just his soles, ankles, but before he could try shaking them off, his thighs, hips, even his waist and chest… were all attached by these strange creatures.
These mysterious creatures’ bodies were extrely soft, Lin Yi had difficulty distinguishing whether what entangled him were hands or feet, or so kind of tentacle, and on the surfaces were so hard scales or a keratin-like material, causing Lin Yi bouts of pain.
“What exactly are these things?” Lin Yi gritted his teeth, Perception Tentacles gradually enveloping them.
These things seed to still be Nightwalkers, yet a type he has never encountered before.
Their appearance was like a peculiar jellyfish or virus strain, with a core and nurous small branches spreading outward.
Its core was a mass of soft jelly-like substance, while those branches were like snakes and tentacles, with triangular heads, seemingly with so mouthparts, other parts covered in scales or keratin.
Lin Yi tried to break free, but their numbers were overwhelming, in just a few breaths he felt as if he was being wrapped dead by countless living vines.
His hands and feet faced more and more restriction, soon unable to paddle.
“Glug… cough! Cough, cough!!”
Accompanied by inhaling the first gulp of water, the sea relentlessly filled his throat, causing him to cough violently with each successive gulp—second gulp, third gulp…
“Glug glug… cough… glug glug… glug glug…”
He at this mont was like a cage tangled in chains, slowly sinking into the black sea…
“Glug glug glug glug…”
“Pfft…”
The black seawater completely subrged his head, the turbulent sea surface turned into a crystal light mbrane flowing with oil-like patterns.
The seawater continued flooding into Lin Yi’s mouth and nose, violent coughing seed to tear his chest apart, but in the endless seawater, each ti he opened his mouth he fell into the vicious cycle of seawater backflow, his body grew increasingly weak, hands and feet could no longer struggle.
Lin Yi felt his body filled with seawater, his consciousness began to blur, but just as it blurred briefly, a stream of cold stimulus surged like electricity through him, enlivening his spirit.
“…?!”
Lin Yi’s fuzzy awareness suddenly beca clear, the intense suffocation and fear from drowning abruptly vanished.
He surprisingly stopped choking on water—not that he stopped choking, but he was already full.
He could clearly feel his lungs now filled with seawater…
It’s just, he seemingly didn’t need to breathe to move underwater.
Indeed… with only a skeletal Golden Body, he was able to recover, what did oxygen and breathing an?
His source of survival had completely transford into Extraordinary Material.
Just now… was rely showing the instinctive human fear of drowning.
When drowning still failed to kill him, he realized drowning could never defeat him.
Though drowning didn’t kill Lin Yi, he was still bound by the jellyfish-like Nightwalkers, unable to move, and could only silently sink to the seabed.
He looked at the sea surface, seeing dim light streaming down like a giant spotlight falling onto him.
