The expedition team found the algae's mother roots by observing the color changes of the sea water.

It is said that during the initial voyage, the color of the sea surface was not as dark as it is now. Instead, the sea water at this time was almost pitch black, and it hardly looked like sea water, but more like some kind of venom.

This also means that they are getting closer and closer to the mother root system.

The two-day voyage soon came to an end.

In the distance of the hazy sea fog, a tall object was vaguely standing. The captain immediately sailed in that direction and notified all crew members to be prepared for response.

Soon, through the layers of sea fog, they finally saw the thing clearly.

It was a huge branch extending out of the sea, like a giant tree growing upside down. Above the sea was a thick trunk, and on the top were countless roots extending and curling in all directions.

The surface of the branches is covered with moss-like dark green, and there is also a thick layer of dark green moss-like organisms floating on the surrounding sea surface. They float and sink with the waves, gradually melting into the sea water, dyeing the sea water black and green.

"Is that the mother root system? It's bigger than I imagined, and it's on the sea surface?" Shi Zhi Meng didn't seem to expect it to look like this.

"Senior Shi...are you ready to get into the water?" Ying heard the disappointment in Shi Zhimeng's tone again, and she was a little bit incredulous.

The information she had found about the deep sea said that it was bottomless, full of dangerous creatures, and that once you went into it you could never get out... As a result, she now had a mysterious fear of the deep sea, and could not imagine how terrible it would be if she accidentally fell into the water.

But everyone else acted very normal, and even if they felt uncomfortable, it was because of seasickness, so she could only hold her fear in her stomach. In fact, she had secretly longed to return to land for a long time.

Unfortunately, this secret place may not have any other land except the uninhabited island they are looking for.

"Yes! With such a vast ocean, wouldn't you have a primitive impulse to jump in and take a look?" Shi Zhimeng behaved completely the opposite. She was extremely excited at this moment, and seemed to have been ready for a hearty underwater battle.

"No way!" Ying shook her head frantically again.

……

The mother root system was right in front of us, and the ship gradually stopped sailing and floated on the sea.

All poisoned crew members who were unable to fight were asked to stay on the main ship. They placed small boats on the sea, with two members of the combat team on each boat, and began rowing towards the mother ship's roots.

As excellent combat forces in good condition, Wan Ye Yu and Tokieda Yume also applied for a small boat and planned to go to help with the combat team.

Before leaving, they also asked their other partners to be careful.

"You should also be careful."

"We're off!"

……

Soon, the first small boat arrived near the root system, and the combat team members on the boat took the lead in launching a tentative attack on the branches.

The large-scale magical bombardment broke the branches in half, and the upper part of the branches with dense roots fell into the sea, causing a splash of water.

Everyone was waiting quietly.

Gradually, other boats came nearby, but the roots did not fight back.

So they continued to blow up the part that was exposed above the sea, and gradually, all the huge branches fell into the water and sank to the bottom of the sea.

The color of the sea water seems to have not changed much.

The combat team members on the ship seemed to be discussing further plans and turned their attention to the bottom of the sea.

Ivy tried to identify their lip movements: "Sure enough, we still need to go into the water."

"Go into the water..." Ying looked worried again, "Do we have to? Will something happen?"

"Because they speculate that there are more root systems underwater, and destroying only the part above sea level is not enough."

When the combat group initially discussed the battle plan, they were already prepared to go into the water. At this time, each of them held an underwater breathing rune seal. When they jumped into the water, a spherical gas barrier immediately appeared around them. They could breathe freely inside the spherical barrier and would not be submerged by the sea water.

Gradually, all the members of the battle team, including Tokieda Yume and Manno Yu, jumped under the sea and disappeared without a trace.

Ying stared nervously at all the changes on the sea.

However, for some reason, the sea became calm and unusually peaceful ever since they entered the water.

"Is there a battle going on down there? Or are they diving? Won't they disappear?" Ying was worried again.

"I guess it's okay..."

Ivy couldn't imagine what the situation would be like underwater, so just in case, she used an exclusive positioning mark magic on the main ship to prevent Wan Yexi and the others from really getting lost underwater.

"Xiao Wei." A voice called from behind.

Ye Jiyan leaned against the door, waved to her, and turned back into the room. His steps seemed steady and he didn't need any support when walking.

He was clearly in a serious state of dizziness and poisoning, so Ivy was curious about how he remained stable.

"What's the matter?" Ying was curious and concerned about the situation under the sea.

"Let's go take a look first."

So they followed Ye Jiyan into the room and entered a house.

In addition to Chu Yu, there were several other high-level magicians who were seriously poisoned sitting in the room. On the table was a conch that came from nowhere. They were sitting around the conch, talking about something.

"What a big conch." Ying was naturally attracted by this thing at first sight, just because its appearance was pure white and clean, and its size was two sizes larger than that of an ordinary conch.

It is more like a magical instrument.

"What's wrong?" Ivy asked as she pulled Ying to find another seat to sit down.

One of the high-level magicians slowly organized his words while dizzy and said, "Listen to the voice inside first."

Another high-level magician held his head, enduring the dizziness, and stopped him, saying, "Don't be impatient. Let the child understand the situation first."

The magician nodded, and finally squeezed out a word from his dizziness: "Okay."

Ivy: “…”

You have to take a break of dozens of seconds after saying a word. The addiction is so serious, do we really have to get together for a meeting?

"Student Ye, you speak." The magician gave the task to the person who looked the most sober in the audience.

Ye Jiyan sighed and expressed fluently: "There is a sound in the conch. It seems that the more seriously poisoned a person is, the clearer the sound he hears."

"What's that sound? Where does the conch come from?" Ivy asked.

“People with mild symptoms can only hear the sound of the waves.” Ye Jiyan said, handing the conch to Ying Youyou.

Ying didn't expect that she would be the first one to be tested, and she couldn't help but freeze.

But she remained calm, listened to the sound in the conch, and then nodded: "Yes, yes, I can only hear the sound of splashing water."

Ye Jiyan took back the conch and continued, "I can hear intermittent human voices, but I can't make out the content. This one is a little more serious, and I can recognize it. It's a female voice."

Then he pointed to the person with the most serious poisoning symptoms, who was lying on the side, unconscious.

“What he heard was singing.”
