Discoveries Underwater

After the Seahorse Cavalry entered the water, without any Hero or leaders to command them, they immediately headed towards the deeper water.

This is different from the situation of the Seahorse Cavalry I saw near my own Dock Area before.

The Seahorse Cavalry before them were clearly different from before; the seahorses they rode had all turned a purplish-red color, and their speed in the water was significantly faster.

At the same time, the weapons they carried also became longer.

If you look closely, you'll find that these seahorses have a lot of Skeleton hanging on their bellies. These are items that the Seahorse Cavalry obtained when they completed their Conquest Mission.

Each Skeleton testifies to the bravery of the Seahorse Cavalry.

Behind them followed the Mermaid, who hadn't changed much.

However, the Mermaid were significantly more agile than the Seahorse Cavalry. They moved freely underwater, just like little birds.

These Mermaid can go to many places that Seahorse Cavalry cannot.

So some Mermaid swam around to see if there was anything else unusual nearby.

Before long, several Mermaid swam back quickly and made some gestures in front of the Seahorse Cavalry.

Upon seeing this, the Seahorse Cavalry knew that they had discovered the presence of the enemy.

So the Seahorse Cavalry quickly swam over with the Mermaid.

The Seahorse Cavalry's mission was to clear the way; their sole objective was to ensure the safety of this passage.

Now that a problem has been discovered, the Seahorse Cavalry naturally have to go and deal with it.

So the Seahorse Cavalry quickly headed towards the place where the Mermaid had found it.

After turning a corner, the Seahorse Cavalry saw the different place the Mermaid had discovered.

It turned out to be a small cave, only small units like Mermaid could fit inside.

Larger troop types, like the Seahorse Cavalry, simply cannot enter the area.

Looking into the cave from the entrance, you'll see a large number of life-sized Stone Statue piled up like garbage.

The Seahorse Cavalry had never seen anything like it before, nor did they sense any life force emanating from it, and they had no way of determining whether it was an ornament or an enemy.

If Gu Xi and the others were there, they would have discovered that these Stone Statue piled up here are actually a type of soldier called Stone Man.

These Stone Man are the basic unit for Alchemist, and they can later be upgraded to Iron Golems, Golden Man, and Diamond Man.

Or perhaps from the Iron Golem to the Steel Golem to the Magnetic Golem.

You could say this thing is the foundation of a whole series.

Gu Xi had encountered something similar before; Fang Kang's men were carrying similar items when they fought the Evil God Temple.

However, Gu Xi had relatively little contact with Fang Kang at that time.

No battle Stone Man was witnessed.

There are so many Stone Man here right now. Although their bodies are scattered and piled together, they are covered with water plants.

But who can prove whether there might be something moving inside these Stone Statue?

With this in mind, the Seahorse Cavalry quickly dispatched two small teams to guard the area, while sending the Mermaid to inform Gu Xi of the news.

After all, they are too big to get in right now.

For now, they can only stay outside and wait for Gu Xi's orders.

Fortunately, the Mermaid weren't stupid. They figured that if there was a cave where Stone Man were buried here, there must be other places as well, so the Mermaid didn't report it immediately.

Instead, they quickly began searching, and with the Mermaid's efforts, they soon found seven more such caves.

In the end, the Seahorse Cavalry had no choice but to abandon their plan to advance and remain outside the caves to guard them.

Gu Xi received the news more than an hour later.

Hearing this, Gu Xi was also somewhat surprised. He had thought that the Seahorse Cavalry might encounter enemies, but he did not expect that they could find a large number of Stone Man corpses underwater.

Although it remains to be verified whether these things are corpses, Gu Xi has already made a judgment in his mind.

Thinking of this, Gu Xi didn't delay any longer and jumped into the water.

The moment Gu Xi entered the water, the Water Dragon Beast appeared at Gu Xi feet.

With the protection of the Water Dragon Beast, Gu Xi didn't need to worry about breathing underwater at all.

Meanwhile, his underwater vision was also protected by the Water Dragon Beast.

While underwater, Gu Xi could clearly see his surroundings.

Led by the Mermaid, Gu Xi quickly arrived at the nearest cave on the shore.

Peeking into the cave, Gu Xi felt that she was distinctly different from the Mermaid.

The Mermaid discovered this place simply because she thought it looked a bit strange.

However, when Gu Xi looked into the cave, he clearly saw some different information.

These Stone Man were abandoned.

As for the reason for the abandonment, Gu Xi is not clear yet, but judging from the direction and situation of these Stone Man falling, they suddenly received orders to stop operating and were finally pushed over by the water.

Even though they've been soaking in water for so long, these things should still be usable.

Gu Xi didn't mind the Stone Man. After thinking for a moment, he decisively ordered the Ghost Squad to come and transport them.

The Ghost Squad never disregards the orders given by Gu Xi.

As Ghost, although they are not a proper Underwater Troops, water does not actually have a significant impact on Ghost.

Especially for a unit like the Ghost Squad, which is used to carrying things, they only had to experiment a few times before they found the methods and tricks for transporting supplies in the water.

Soon, the Stone Man figures inside the caves were all removed.

Meanwhile, the Mermaid, under Gu Xi's orders, entered the cave to search for any other traces left behind.

As for Gu Xi, he followed the Seahorse Cavalry and simply moved forward.

Gu Xi clearly remembered his goal.

The Stone Man in the cave along the way were not what he had come to this world to find.

Gu Xi's targets are those enemies that can be killed in large numbers.

So he still wanted to find the next Underground World as quickly as possible.

There, Gu Xi will encounter his enemies, instead of carrying fallen corpses along the way like opening treasure chests.

And it was the corpse of Stone Man.

Just as Gu Xi and his companions were following the water flow past several bends and were about to find the entrance to the next Underground World, the Mermaid caught up from behind.

"Grown ups."

As they live underwater, Mermaid can talk and even sing underwater, something the Seahorse Cavalry, who cannot speak underwater, cannot do.

As soon as they caught up, they spoke directly to Gu Xi.

"Sir, we found something very strange in the emptied cave."
