The ascent wasn't fast at first, and Chen Xiao heard the pimp below suddenly speak again: "Human, although you used your unique human intelligence to force me to release you, according to my calculations, your mortality rate is probably over 75%."
Well?
Chen Xiao was confused, but then he saw the face below staring at him with a mocking expression: "Remember, the mother body will only be subdued for three hours!"
This was the last thing Chen Xiao heard.
Then, the speed of ascent suddenly accelerated!
Chen Xiao felt a blur before his eyes, and with a whoosh, his body shot upwards rapidly along with the beam of light!
The speed at which it ascended was many times faster than any high-speed elevator in a skyscraper that I had ever ridden!
The thick layer of rock around us ended in just a few seconds!
In the blink of an eye, the beam of light carried Chen Xiao directly into the seawater above the ground!
Deep in the ocean, there was no light at all, and all around was dark and cold seawater. Chen Xiao was in this pillar of light, rising rapidly!
This beam of light seemed extremely magical, because Chen Xiao knew that at such a depth in the ocean, the powerful water pressure alone would be enough to crush him to pieces if he were in the seawater!
However, within the beam of light, the body felt absolutely no pressure, not even the rapid ascent caused any weightlessness; it was more stable than any high-class elevator!
In less than thirty seconds, a faint light could be seen shining down from above, indicating that we were almost at the surface of the sea!
Chen Xiao had calculated that, according to the description of the "fourth type of identifiable, non-renewable, independent organism," the record point of this prehistoric civilization hidden underground was located 10,000 meters below the surface. Therefore, it would only take him thirty seconds to rise from underground to the outside…
Thirty seconds! Over ten thousand meters!! This speed is comparable to the speed of sound!! The advanced technology of this prehistoric civilization is evident!
Before he could think any further, he saw a dark shadow suddenly looming over him. As he was rapidly ascending, he was about to collide with the shadow, and he couldn't help but gasp, "Ah!"
Then, he felt a ringing in his ears, followed by a blur before his eyes. Instant, intense light from all directions caused a sharp, stinging pain in his eyes, and he instinctively closed them.
His body jolted, and he tumbled to the side with a thud.
Suddenly, Chen Xiao felt a sense of relief! He felt his body land on the hard ground!
I'm finally out!
As his eyes gradually adjusted to the sunlight, Chen Xiao opened them and finally confirmed his suspicions.
The ground beneath my feet was hard, surrounded by bare rocks, the sea breeze whistled in my ears, and I could smell the salty seawater in my nose.
Chen Xiao fell to the ground and glanced around. Poseidon had already landed beside him, his body tumbling awkwardly on the ground, covered in dust, staring at him with wide eyes.
Chen Xiao sighed, scrambled to his feet, looked around, and was stunned!
Here... it's yet another... deserted island!
Unlike the previous island where I was stranded, which was deserted, at least there were trees, plants, fresh water, and a beach where I could dig for sand crabs!
And this island now, I don't know how it got such a strange geological structure...
The island is only a few hundred square meters in size, and as far as the eye can see, it is all hard rock!
Forget trees, you can't even find a single blade of grass!
And the so-called beach... didn't even have a single grain of sand! It was all hard rocks!
Chen Xiao suddenly recalled the scene of rising from the sea...
His face turned pale.
This island is different from ordinary islands in the sea. Ordinary islands are raised sections of the seabed above sea level. But this "island" we're on seems to be a rootless place floating on the sea!
Could it be... a teleportation point left on the surface leading to that prehistoric ruin underground?
All around, as far as the eye can see, is the vast ocean!
Chen Xiao was stunned.
Although I came up from underground, how can I leave this place?
Without food or water, on such a deserted island, I would die in less than three days!
Most importantly, although his strength has greatly improved, his special abilities are of no help whatsoever in his current predicament!
Even if you could teleport... in the vast ocean, there's not even a place to land, so you can't use teleportation.
Subconsciously, Chen Xiao glanced at the "Sea God" next to him.
He suddenly remembered the last thing the "pimp computer" said: his chances of dying were over 75%.
Chen Xiao finally understood!
I've trapped myself in another dead end!
Since he couldn't leave this island, the only way he could leave was by relying on the Sea God. After all, this S-rank powerhouse could fly.
But… this woman probably hates me to death! Once the three-hour restriction is over and she regains her freedom and mobility, the first thing she'll do is tear me to pieces! There won't be any mercy! In other words, starting now, if this woman escapes in three hours, it will be my death!!
If Chen Xiao wants to escape this clutches, it seems his only option now is to kill her before she regains her mobility!
However, a problem arises.
Regardless of whether Chen Xiao could bring himself to do such a cruel thing, even if he did, he would still be heartless enough to commit such a heinous act of destroying a beautiful woman.
With Poseidon dead, Chen Xiao is now alone on the island, unable to leave! Because the only one who can fly is Poseidon!!
