Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1244 - 225: Crossing the Chasm

Everyone was guessing in their hearts: Could this thing be the legendary...

At that moment, they saw Brother Xiao Yuan crouch down, holding a Yellow River Shovel, and stab downward.

Everyone was first startled, then immediately worried about Brother Xiao Yuan's safety.

But as the shovel swung below, nothing happened. Even though it seemed to pierce into the giant thing with the naked eye, there was still no obstruction.

Li Zhiyuan: "It's fake."

Lin Shuyou: "Fake...?"

Tan Wenbin immediately dropped the cigarette butt in his hand: "Hiss."

Run Sheng took out his big shovel, Yin Meng drew out the Demon Exorcism Whip, also mimicking the boy, scraping it below.

It really was fake, just light and shadow under the sea, without substance, but incredibly realistic.

Tan Wenbin lit another cigarette, expressing regret: "Sigh, I really thought I saw a dragon."

Run Sheng: "Does Mr. Tan like dragons?"

Lin Shuyou curiously asked: "So, what exactly is this? A mirage?"

Li Zhiyuan: "It's likely an evolution of Feng Shui phenomena."

The giant creature swam past under the ship, and at its tail, not only was there a noticeable constriction, but they also saw the tail.

Lin Shuyou: "It looks so real."

Yin Meng: "It's gone."

The gleaming scales departed.

Lin Shuyou: "It's back again."

It returned again, even faster this time.

However, having verified earlier and knowing it's not real, their hearts weren't as panicked.

This time, after the giant gleaming scales passed under the ship, they gradually disappeared, no longer visible on the sea surface.

Yin Meng: "So, where exactly is that island?"

"Heartless Island..." The boy muttered the island's name in his heart while looking up at the sky, the dark clouds collectively pressing lower again.

Li Zhiyuan instantly seemed to realize something, shouting: "Everyone, grab onto something that can hold you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a giant fierce maw emerged quickly from below the sea, and the fishing boat was right in the center of this maw.

It kept rising and growing bigger, the feeling of being swallowed in one neat bite, even knowing it's fake, still made one's scalp tingle with immense shock inside.

But the imagined devouring and collision did not occur; the fierce maw arrived swiftly and disappeared quickly. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Lin Shuyou: "Look, the sea surface around is starting to rise!"

Tan Wenbin: "We're descending!"

A giant whirlpool appeared at sea, and the fishing boat happened to be right in its center.

A strong suction was pulling the fishing boat downward, the hull didn't spin like a top, but the sudden feeling of weightlessness still easily flung people out.

Li Zhiyuan: "Yin Meng!"

Yin Meng swung the whip, looping it around everyone's waist one by one, with Run Sheng and Lin Shuyou as two fixed points, they held the boat firmly.

They couldn't tell how long they descended, but the sea surface around almost reached the sky, and now they seemed to be in a giant water well.

Suddenly, the fishing boat submerged under the sea, and seawater washed over.

But it was just a moment, everyone was drenched, then everything returned to calm.

The engine didn't start, yet the boat began to sail normally, this area, or rather, this whole circle, the sea surface was sloping downward.

Looking up at the sky, endless blue light shadows presented an extremely surreal feeling.

Li Zhiyuan looked below and saw a giant towering statue of the Buddha standing in the water, most of its body submerged, the head broken and missing, but as the boat kept gliding lower, it would hit the Buddha's hand.

"Start the boat, avoid it!"

Run Sheng and Tan Wenbin also noticed the situation below, it wasn't too urgent, as they were soon reaching the bottom, but everyone hoped to preserve the boat to comfortably return.

The engine roared, Run Sheng adjusted the rudder, successfully avoiding the Buddha's hand.

Now, standing on the boat looking down, they could vaguely see the shadows of some buildings in the dark depths.

Though just edges and corners, Li Zhiyuan still imagined some temple shapes.

Is there a temple below?

Isn't it Qiu Mansion on Heartless Island?

Run Sheng: "Xiao Yuan, there's a canyon ahead!"

The sloping downward sea water was pouring into the canyon's crack below, and the buildings were surrounded by this crack, forming an independent area below the sea.

Lin Shuyou: "There's land over there!"

Li Zhiyuan: "Head over there!"

Run Sheng quickly turned the rudder, adjusting the boat's direction, finally successfully docking at that area.

Calling it docking wasn't correct; it should be considered grounding, with sand and stone below.

But this issue wasn't big, with Run Sheng's strength, he could fully pull the boat back into the water.

Everyone packed their things and disembarked.

Walking uphill a bit, they found the reason this place formed a shore was the bridge spanning over the canyon crack.

The bridge was black, exuding an ancient vibe, meticulously carved despite its massive construction, and though enduring years of erosion here, its detailed patterns remained visible.

Walking on the bridge, wind flowed up from the crack below, not moving their clothes but making them shiver in cold.

Under the bridge are holes, through which the air flows with a thin moaning sound, as if countless people were sobbing on the bridge.

Tan Wenbin patted his shoulder, the two kids seemed to like this environment a lot, beginning to get excited.

In the middle of the bridge, on each side stood a stone tablet, inscribed in blood-red characters:

"I vow not to become a Buddha until hell is empty."

"Only when all beings are saved can one attain bodhi."

Upon seeing these two tablets, Lin Shuyou suddenly showed a look of pain, his eyes swelling, and he staggered, kneeling on the ground.

Tan Wenbin quickly went forward to embrace him, asking: "Ah You, what's wrong?"

Lin Shuyou made a hurried noise from his throat: "It's here, it's here!"

"Who's here?"

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!"
