Chapter 298: The Upside Down World(1/2)
"Whirlpool?"
At this time, in front of Bone Island, Mu You also encountered the same situation as Jack.
"How could a whirlpool appear in a place like this?" Lin Xue looked at the huge whirlpool in front of him and was also a little surprised.
She didn't do much research on oceanography, but she also knew that sea whirlpools usually only formed at the intersection of ocean currents, and it was too abnormal for such a flat and windless sea surface to suddenly form such a large whirlpool.
"There is no problem with the heading..."
Mu You observed the direction of the compass in his hand. As the hull moved around the periphery of the whirlpool, the pointer always pointed steadily at the center of the whirlpool.
"In other words, the entrance is probably in this whirlpool..."
"Is there such an obvious sign at the entrance of Sky City..." Lin Xue asked. In order to prevent the Sky City from being invaded by other tribes, the entrance is supposed to be very hidden, but the giant whirlpool at the moment is too obvious. As long as you are nearby,
All creatures can be seen.
"It shouldn't be under normal circumstances... I guess it was the tsunami created by King Octopus just now that caused some changes in the entrance position..." Mu You guessed.
No matter what, there is no other way to go now but to trust the compass.
"Reef the sails and enter the whirlpool!" URL.
Mu You gave the order, and the ghost crew members on the ship quickly started working, furling all the sails, then turning the bow of the ship and heading straight towards the large whirlpool ahead.
The dozen or so ships behind him were still chasing, but the distance was far enough that Mu You ignored them and watched as the Ghost sailed smoothly into the outer range of the whirlpool.
However, just when he thought that the Ghost would start to circle along the vortex, there seemed to be a strange force in the vortex, pushing the Ghost outward.
The Ghost drew an arc around the edge of the vortex, and then was actually thrown out of the vortex from the other side.
"Huh?"
"What's going on?"
Everyone on the boat looked confused.
Generally, after entering a whirlpool, shouldn't it be carried towards the center by the current? Why was it bounced out?
Mu You hurriedly tried to drive the boat into the whirlpool again, but the result was the same. He was thrown out as soon as he entered, as if he had hit the same pole of some kind of magnetic pole, and was instantly pushed away by the strong repulsive force.
At this time, the fleet of the Divine Right of Kings was approaching in the distance. Some of them continued to chase around the edge of the whirlpool, but there were also a few that had no time to turn and rushed directly into the whirlpool.
What surprised Mu You and others was that their boat rushed into the whirlpool, but was not thrown away. Instead, it began to rotate inward along with the current. No matter how hard the people on the boat rowed, they could not break free.
"Strange, why can they get in?" Xiaoya asked doubtfully, does this whirlpool have double standards?
"Could it be..."
Mu You turned around and glanced at the many ghost crew members on the ship.
The entrance to Dawn City is said to be accessible only to the Fool and his familiars. Could it be that other creatures start to be excluded from here?
Thinking of this, Mu You took out the wind boat and threw it next to the Ghost: "Xiaoxue Xiaoya is coming with me, the others will stay."
"Oh..."
Xiaoya didn't ask any questions and hurriedly jumped into the boat with Mu You. After Lin Xue also got on the boat, Mu You drove the boat towards the whirlpool.
The result was pushed out again.
"Does the backpack also have an impact?"
Mu You looked at a backpack on his waist. This backpack contained Vivian, Little Spider, and many forest elves who had just been rescued from the underwater prison.
Vivian and Little Spider both have a contractual relationship with him. The ones who will affect the whirlpool judgment at this time should be the elves.
Mu You released Vivian and the little spider chocobo, put them into other backpacks, and then threw the backpack to the Pandaren on the Ghost before trying to sail into the whirlpool again.
This time, it was finally not ejected again, and the boat was smoothly carried by the whirlpool and approached the center.
Sure enough, it’s the influence of the backpack!
Mu You estimates that it is probably because the entrance of the backpack is directly connected to this world, so it is also judged to be the same interface. Unless the entrance is on another interface like the lock cylinder space, the backpack cannot be opened in the star spirit world, so it will not be affected.
.
"Wait, Mu You, I'm going too!" Ye Rumeng, who was left on the boat, said hurriedly as she watched the boat quickly move away.
"Stay on the boat and don't run around! Uncle Cat, I'll leave the boat to you. Help take care of the little girl." Mu You shouted to the panda.
"Don't worry, I will wait for you to come back outside the evil spirit sea!" Pandaren responded.
"Woooo..."
Just when Mu You finished explaining the arrangements and was about to enter the whirlpool with peace of mind, the familiar roar of the Octopus King sounded again, and this time, it was so close that it seemed to be ringing above everyone's heads...
All the nearby humans subconsciously looked up and saw a huge octopus head emerging from the water on one side of the maelstrom. A pair of deep pupils looked down at the people below like ants.
His eyes swept over and quickly focused on the small boat where Mu You was.
"Why did it come at this time..."
Mu You frowned secretly, looking at this guy's glaring eyes, it was obvious that he was coming towards him.
Fortunately, he has now entered the whirlpool. This place excludes all non-Fool creatures. Even the Octopus King should not be able to enter...
Just when Mu You was thinking this, he saw the Octopus King moving, with its eight claws emerging from the bottom of the water. They all squirmed and quickly approached the whirlpool, and finally rushed directly into the whirlpool.
As expected, this vortex also has a repulsive force on the Octopus King. After entering the vortex, the Octopus King's speed becomes slower and slower, but it is still crawling forward tenaciously. Although it is as slow as a snail, it is indeed getting closer to the center of the vortex.
.
Mu You found that he still underestimated this octopus, and actually relied on brute force to forcefully break Dawn City's exclusion rules.
Of course, the repulsive force of this vortex is not so easy to break through. The further the Octopus King swims inward, the slower it becomes. By the time it reaches the middle level of the vortex, it is almost stagnant.
But what happened next made everyone even more horrified: after the Octopus King found that he could not go any further, he suddenly shook his eight claws, and the tips of the eight claws all extended into a slender section.
The slender octopus legs extended along the sea surface and wrapped around several ships approaching the center of the whirlpool, including Mu You's small boat.
Several ships immediately fell into stagnation, and were stuck in the middle of the whirlpool together with the Octopus King, unable to move forward at all. They were even being carried by the Octopus' legs, pulling them outward little by little.
Not only that, after these slender octopus tentacles get wrapped up in the boat, they will split instantly and turn into small octopuses that are half the height of a human and attack the humans on the boat.
The people on each ship hurriedly resisted and used various means to remove the octopus.
On Mu You's side, he and Lin Xue are also trying their best to kill octopuses, but every time they kill a batch, the octopus legs under the boat will quickly regenerate and then turn into more small octopuses.
It's impossible to clean it up with just two of them slashing at it.
"This won't work, we have to cut off the octopus's legs..."
Mu You glanced at the giant octopus in the distance that was also wrapped in the whirlpool, took out the flying broom, held the wand in one hand and the broom in the other, and flew directly out of the boat.
There is also a layer of entangled turbulence above this whirlpool, which is interfering with Mu You's flight, but it is better than being swept away directly by the ocean current underwater.
Moreover, the Octopus King is even more restricted at this time. Under the action of the repulsive force, the Octopus King is almost unable to move. If he moves slightly, he may be thrown out by the whirlpool, which is a good opportunity to attack.
Mu You flew directly towards the octopus leg wrapped around their boat and found the part exposed on the water. On the wand in his hand, an arc sword dozens of meters long emerged and cut downwards.
I have tried it before in the Dream Castle. The arc sword can cut through the tentacles of the Octopus King. It should be possible here too.
However, the Octopus King obviously would not watch himself being attacked. At the moment when the arc struck, countless small tentacles split off the surface of the octopus foot below, and like spiritual snakes, they swept towards Mu You in the sky.<
/p>
Mu You hurriedly put away the arc sword and concentrated on controlling the broom to dodge. Relying on the speed of the flying broom and the foresight of his pocket watch, he was able to dodge all the tentacles.
It seems that the Octopus King has a memory of the power of the arc sword. He knows that this thing can hurt it and will never let Mu You get close.
Mu You rode a broomstick and hovered over Octopus Foot for several weeks, but never found a chance to strike.
Just when the situation at the scene reached a deadlock, no one noticed that on the edge of the whirlpool, a mermaid emerged from the water.
Looking at the giant octopus in front of her and Mu You who was flying in mid-air fighting, the mermaid hesitated for a moment, opened her mouth, faced the octopus, and let out a series of extremely beautiful songs.
No one could understand what she was singing. She seemed to be simply humming a ballad, but her voice had a strange charm that made the surrounding creatures stop unconsciously and become obsessed with this heavenly voice.
.
Even the Octopus King fell into a moment of sluggishness because of the mermaid's hum.
Among the creatures present, only Mu You was not affected by the singing.
Mermaid’s song?
Mu You reacted instantly. Legend has it that some mermaid tribesmen are born with singing voices like nature. With their singing, they can seduce sea creatures and sailors, make creatures lose their consciousness, cause ships to hit rocks and sink, etc.
Of course, singing with such a powerful effect must come at a price. The price is that every time a mermaid opens her mouth to sing, her voice will be damaged and it will take a long time to recover.
Mu You looked in the direction of the mermaid. Ever since he met this mermaid, he had never heard her speak. Now he finally heard her voice, but the price was quite tragic.
Mu You has seen that while the mermaid was singing, she was constantly coughing up blood at the corner of her mouth, obviously suffering from great pain.
Before he had time to think too much, the mermaid gave him an excellent opportunity to attack. At this moment, the Octopus King was also charmed by the mermaid's singing. Even if it was only for a second, it was enough.
Mu You immediately retraced time, turned the broom, and rushed straight towards the octopus legs below.
A large number of tentacles reappeared and swept towards Muyou, but at this moment, the mermaid's song sounded again.
At the same time as the humming sounded, all the tentacles seemed to be petrified and became motionless.
Muyou controlled the broom to flexibly pass through the group of tentacles and came to the front of the octopus's feet, where an arc dozens of meters long quickly formed.
To be continued...
