Chapter 58: Deep Sea Girl
Under the guidance of the star-fish, Lonis continued to advance into the depths of the Vast Sea.
Whether it was due to her good luck or because they had already passed through the storm zone, this area of the sea was calm, without even a single wave.
Therefore, Lonis set the autopilot and occasionally visited the jail to try and care for her Hero companion.
And fortunately…
Lonis’s guess was very accurate.
The potions that had been used to treat Miss Ling Li did indeed have a not insignificant healing effect on Lian Lan’s body. Although Lian Lan had not yet woken up, the scars on her body had indeed recovered a lot.
“No wonder Miss Lian Lan asked me to retreat first. She looks so much like one of those tentacle monsters?”
Lonis took a deep breath, confirmed that Lian Lan’s condition was stable, and then went to the engine room.
For some reason, the engine room had been issuing alarms recently… but Lonis carefully read all the parameters in the cockpit and found no problems.
Was it a gas leak?
Or was it affected by the Magic Gemstone?
And just as Lonis was feeling very confused and distressed…
“Hoo hoo hoo~~”
“Little star-fish, what’s wrong?”
“Hoo!”
This silver little fish circled in the air, seeming to urge Lonis to go to the lookout.
And it was good that she looked, because what she saw almost made Lonis’s fox tail stand up.
Because the sea surface in the distance had actually broken!
Even in broad daylight, a barrier like an aurora could be seen floating at the end of the field of vision, and behind the aurora, the horizon had disappeared!
It was as if in ancient superstitions, the earth was flat. When approaching the edge of the world, all the seawater would plunge down. This sight terrified Lonis so much that she quickly docked the ship.
…
“What… what is going on… Oh, I remember Elus mentioning that the Vast Sea seems to be a nebulous and unstable area, like a gas giant. The water molecules have dissolved into mist and are floating in the air.”
“Could this be what she was describing? If so, I have to activate the Time Shuttle’s anti-gravity engine to proceed. But how can I pilot it…”
…
Lonis felt a hint of despair. She had only just gotten used to piloting the ship, but reality had thrown her another difficult task.
However…
There was no turning back!
Because Lian Lan had told her that everyone might have been captured by the Sea Tide Dragon. So, besides moving forward, she had no other choice.
“Lonis, cheer up, you can do it, you definitely can do it… You’ve already completed saving the world, and saving your wife is nothing, what’s so difficult about that?”
…
At this moment, rather than encouraging herself, Lonis was more like “hypnotizing herself.”
She held the little fox toy from Elus’s set, as well as everyone’s Slimes, and tried her best to remain calm and composed.
Then, the girl pressed the switch for the anti-gravity engine.
But…
“Huh? What… what’s going on?!”
To Lonis’s surprise, the ship did not float upwards, but instead kept sinking towards the seabed!
Soon, the bright sky disappeared, replaced by the dim and deep underwater world.
“Wuwuwu, did I press it the wrong way?! This is bad… I need to lift it quickly.”
Lonis quickly pulled the lever in the opposite direction, but not only did the ship not rise, it continued to sink deeper into the seabed!
At the same time, an alarm sound rang in Lonis’s ears:
“Alarm, alarm, anti-gravity device abnormal. Please activate the special space emergency system to maintain the normal operation of the anti-gravity device.”
“Special space emergency system, what is that thing?!”
“Alarm, alarm…”
“Wuwuwu, help! Elus, I don’t want to die, woo woo woo!!!!!!!!!!!!”

…
…
With a splash, the Time Shuttle heavily crashed onto the seabed!
For a moment, Lonis’s heart leaped into her throat. She was afraid that the next moment seawater would flood the cabin, drowning her.
But fortunately… there was no movement.
The ship did not issue any other alarms, and even automatically activated some system.
“Anti-gravity system has been shut down. Deep dive mode is now enabled.”
…
“Is it okay now?”
Lonis breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Time Shuttle was sturdy and intact after her causing such a commotion.
But what should she do next?
Lonis looked out the window, but the scene that met her eyes stunned the little fox…
Because the seabed here was not only covered with colorful algae, but also with many schools of fish.
More crucially…
At the bottom of the ocean, there was actually an elevated road!
Its shape was very similar to the highway in Lonis’s memory, except that there were also train tracks in the middle for trains to pass through.
Even though all the coral reefs were submerged, the structure of the elevated road looked intact. And
In some mysterious way, it seemed to lead to a mysterious direction.
“Did the sea level rise and submerge the world of the past? But… it always felt like it wasn’t that simple…”
Lonis frowned in distress, but the little star-fish circled around her, looking a bit excited.
“Huh? Little star-fish… are we going to follow this road?”
“~~”
“So it’s turning misfortune into good fortune? Hmph, am I the Hero after all~~ Nothing will go wrong~~”
…
…
Realizing that she was not in danger, Lonis relaxed a lot.
She quickly activated the Time Shuttle and moved forward along the elevated road in the seabed… and in the vast seabed, Lonis also discovered traces of other man-made objects!
For example, some huge gears, she didn’t know what they were used for.
For example, some 6-story concrete buildings, but the glass and doors were just holes, and there were no signs of decoration at all.
For example, some rusty cars and utility poles… after lying on the seabed for so many years, most of them were completely useless. So Lonis did not plan to stop the ship to observe them closely.
The various strange objects made Lonis marvel, and after advancing for about half an hour…
Lonis finally arrived at the area covered by the aurora.
And something abnormal appeared before Lonis’s eyes: although she could see that the ground was still solid, the seawater seemed to have been filtered, and it was stratified.
The light became much more abundant, but perhaps due to the hazy water mist, the entire world was like walking into a dense fog, and the scene in the distance was almost invisible.
Misty, blurry, unknown, bewildered.
The world before her was so mysterious, but fortunately, Lonis was following the elevated road.
That is to say, no matter what, she would not lose her way.
“Am I about to enter the depths of the Vast Sea? Wait for me, Elus, and everyone!”
Lonis steered the ship and continued to sail forward.
