“It’s an intuitive method,” Xiaobai said to Chao Yamato. “For example, if an eraser falls to the ground, even if you don’t know where it fell, you’ll still bend down to look for it… That’s an intuitive search method. But the expedition team has already proven to us that you can’t find the deep-sea city using normal methods. So I think if we want to find that city ruins, we should use a less conventional method.”
"What method does the Admiral intend to use?" Missouri asked.
"Hmm..." Little White blinked, looking at the water in front of her, deep in thought, and then said, "Missouri, cities... can't grow wings and fly away, right?"
“That’s natural,” Missouri nodded.
"Then it should still be where it is."
"Does the Admiral mean... that they've become invisible?"
"It shouldn't be just as simple as invisibility." Thinking this, Xiaobai patted the deep-sea boss beneath her. "Alright, there's nothing for you here. Go back to the depths of sea area 8-4."
"Ouch————"
The deep-sea boss was so moved that it started wagging its tail.
The three of them jumped off the deep-sea boss onto the surface of the sea one by one. After humbly howling at the three of them for a while, the deep-sea boss hurriedly flicked its tail and swam rapidly towards the depths of the 8-4 sea area.
Xiao Bai and his two companions watched the deep-sea boss disappear into the distance.
Xiaobai withdrew its gaze, reached out to Missouri and Super Yamato beside it, and began to stroke the water surface in the air.
“We are now in what used to be the interior of the city…” Xiaobai said. “I remember when I first came here, the city was protected by a raging deep-sea fog and hurricanes. To enter the city, you had to pass through that thick deep-sea fog.”
“The fog that protected the city should have been dispersed during the battle between the Admiral and Frederick the Great,” Missouri said, glancing around.
“Yes.” Xiaobai nodded. “Is it possible that we couldn’t find the city because the fog had lifted?”
"Is that possible?"
"I don't know either." Xiaobai shook her head, lowered her head, and reached out to touch the surface of the water. "But at least this guess is more convincing than the development that the city grew wings and flew away, isn't it?"
Missouri nodded slightly, agreeing with Xiaobai's statement.
Then, as if she had just thought of something, Missouri turned her head and smiled at Chao Yamato.
"Super big and senior~"
"Call me?" Super Big blinked and pointed to himself.
“Yes.” Missouri smiled at Super Yamato. “Super Yamato-senpai, Missouri remembers that you seemed to have left a teleportation anchor point in the deep-sea city…”
"Ah, yes, I left it." Chao Dahe nodded.
"Can the anchor points still be used?"
"Hmm...it should have been deleted during the last cleanup," Chao Dahe said with a hint of regret, looking down.
Chapter 3516 Restoring the Anchor Point
If it were up to her alone, she wouldn't be able to eliminate the teleportation anchor points that had already been set up.
But Xiaobai happens to have this ability.
Super Big and Little White traveled around the world together, passing through major cities and building a teleportation network for garrison towns along the way.
As the number of teleportation anchors increased, the number of anchors that needed to be managed in Super Yamato's teleportation corridor once approached or even exceeded three digits. Xiaobai himself didn't have any problems, but in order to ensure that the number of teleportation anchors didn't become so numerous that Super Yamato was confused, and also for the sake of the aesthetics and tidiness of the teleportation corridor, Super Yamato and Xiaobai specially set aside a lot of time to pick out and eliminate the teleportation anchors that they had set up on a whim, those that had only been used a few times, those that were not in a satisfactory location, or those that were unlikely to be used in the future.
Among these eliminated teleportation anchors was naturally the one they had once placed in the deep-sea city.
The reason for eliminating this teleportation anchor is quite simple.
First of all, they really had no reason to come back—Xiaobai and Chaoda had already taken away all the Abyssal Deities they could, and even dug out and revived those they couldn't take. They even forcibly took away a few who resisted more fiercely after beating them up. They never thought they would return to this Abyssal City in the future. In addition, this place will become the territory of the eighth chapter city in the future. At that time, there will be many ship girls coming and going on this sea, and it will be inconvenient for Xiaobai and the others to come over again.
Who knew that this deep-sea city would later stage a dramatic transformation in front of the expedition team in Chapter 8?
Unfortunately, this city is quite important.
Just because this city has no value to Xiaobai doesn't mean it has no value to humanity.
According to the expedition team, the city contains information that can greatly help them understand human history before the end of time, and its value is immeasurable.
Shiro and Yamato were also quite frustrated by this plot development.
“So the anchor point has been eliminated…” Missouri sighed with regret as she listened to Super Yamato’s words.
“Even if it’s not eliminated, it’s not very useful, right?” Super Yamato looked at Missouri’s disappointed expression, thought for a moment, and pointed to the empty sea nearby, saying, “Even if the teleportation anchor point is still usable, the cities here have all disappeared, so we’ll probably just teleport to the empty water…”
“Isn’t this a bit of wishful thinking?” Missouri smiled upon hearing this.
"A gambler's mentality?" Super Large and slightly tilted their heads.
“The Admiral just told us that the ruins of the deep-sea city cannot be found using normal methods.” Missouri maintained her smile, raised a finger, and said to Super Yamato, “Then Missouri just thought about it for a moment, and it seems that among the abnormal search methods, only Super Yamato’s teleportation anchor point is the most convenient.”
"...Does that make a difference?"
“After all, teleportation is a kind of supernatural ability,” Missouri said with a smile. “Perhaps it will produce some special reactions with the city ruins.”
“Uh, I’m so guilty, Lin San is so angry, it’s easy to delete…” Super large and seemingly understandable.
Xiaobai listened to the conversation between Chaoda and Missouri. When she heard Missouri's unusual reaction, she nodded thoughtfully.
“Yes, there is indeed an abnormal method, such as a teleportation anchor point,” Xiaobai said.
"Does the Admiral also think there's a chance?" Chao Yamato asked Shiro.
"It's not a question of whether it's promising or not..." Xiaobai smiled, "It's just that the methods are all laid out in front of us, so there's no harm in giving it a try, right?"
“But the anchor point has been eliminated…” Chao Da said somewhat dejectedly, “It probably can’t be restored.”
“Hmm…” Xiaobai looked at Chaodahe with his head down, his face full of regret and self-blame. She thought for a while, then lowered her head and rubbed her fingertips together. Then she raised her eyebrows and suddenly said, “Chaodahe, actually I think… this matter is not so absolute. Maybe we can restore the eliminated anchor points.”
"Huh?" Super Big looked up, staring blankly at Little White. "Restore the anchor point? Admiral, do you have a way?"
"Hmm... I haven't tried it, but since I can remove anchor points, restoring them should be about the same?" Xiaobai wasn't sure either. As she spoke, she gestured to Chaodahe, "Why don't we go take a look?"
Super Big blinked, glanced at Little White and Missouri beside her, and didn't seem to object. She raised her hand and summoned a teleportation vortex.
As the teleportation vortex appeared out of thin air, a rich aura of the Deep Sea Dean began to emanate from Colossus.
Fortunately, this was deep in the sea, far enough away from the city in Chapter Eight, and the sea surface was covered with an extremely dense aura of the deep sea, which allowed Super Dahe to conceal his aura as the Dean of the Deep Sea.
The three of them, Xiaobai, entered the teleportation vortex one after another.
After a dizzying, spinning sensation, Xiaobai and her two companions stepped onto flat ground. They arrived at the transfer station with its immense teleportation capabilities, in a seemingly endless teleportation corridor.
Missouri stood there, looking at the bizarre and colorful surroundings, the flowing walls devoid of light, and the deep vortexes swirling on them.
"Admiral, how do we restore the anchor point?" Missouri asked.
As soon as Missouri said this, Super and Clearly were also very interested. They looked at Little White, waiting for her answer.
"The specific principle... I don't really know either. It's just that when I helped Chaoda clear the teleportation anchors last time, she explained the principle of teleportation anchors to me." Xiaobai looked at both sides of the teleportation corridor, took a step in one direction, and said as she walked, "Chaoda told me that the walls of this teleportation corridor can extend infinitely. It actually connects every inch of space in the world in a strange, changing, and disordered order. Her operation of placing anchors in the real world is actually like leaving a mark outside that can be sensed here. Then, by sensing the mark, she finds the corresponding mark on the wall, opens the wall at the corresponding position, and forms a two-way teleportation portal."
As Xiaobai walked, she spoke, her fingers gently tracing the swirling patterns on the wall.
The vortexes felt Xiaobai's touch one by one, and they expanded slightly, trying to swallow Xiaobai's slender white fingertips that had just passed by.
"Is the Admiral's principle for eliminating anchor points to erase the marks in the real world with mental power and then absorb these formed vortexes?" Missouri followed behind Xiaobai, observing the vortexes on the wall, and asked.
“That’s right.” Little White nodded and exclaimed to Missouri, “Missouri, you’re so smart, you even know that.”
“Missouri only has some understanding of the Admiral’s abilities,” Missouri said with a smile. “In the field of mental power, Missouri has never seen a human or ship girl more powerful than the Admiral, not even the Deep Sea Dean.”
"How do I restore deleted anchor points?" Chao Dahe couldn't help but ask.
“Super Yamato, actually, through the explanation of the principle of teleportation ability, we can learn something,” Xiaobai said to Super Yamato. “That is, the operation of creating a teleportation vortex on the wall does not necessarily require a real-world marker.”
"..." Chao Da looked completely bewildered.
"The markers in the real world are just to help you find the right place, right?" Xiaobai asked.
“Hmm…that’s true…” Chao Dahe nodded, but then said with a hint of doubt, “But…if we don’t find the right location, having more teleportation vortexes won’t help…”
"It's okay. I remember where that anchor point was on the wall." Xiaobai pointed to his forehead and said to Chao Yahe very seriously, "I remember it very clearly."
Super Big and Missouri stared at Little White's face for a while.
“I see.” Missouri understood immediately. “So that’s how the Admiral solved it.”
"Admiral, but the walls of the teleportation corridor are fluid, and the corresponding locations on them are very difficult to predict..." Super Yamato said to Shiro, "If we can find the correct location, that would be possible, but even a millimeter, or even a smaller, error could result in a completely different teleportation location..."
"Regarding the flowing walls, it's not too bad. I can deduce the change in the original anchor point's location based on the changes in the position of the teleportation vortexes around us." Xiaobai wasn't under any pressure. She continued to smile and say to Chao Yamato, "Well, we're just trying it out. If we make a mistake, we can just go back."
Seeing that Xiaobai was so certain, Chaoda opened her mouth, but then slowly closed it and nodded.
Xiaobai led Chaoda and Xiaobai through the corridor. As she walked, Xiaobai's eyes scanned the vortexes on both sides of the corridor. After about ten minutes, she finally stopped in one of the corridors.
Xiaobai stood in the open space between the two whirlpools. She looked left and right, then stared at the open space in front of her. She stretched out her finger and lightly drew a line on the wall. Then she used her finger to draw a circle on the wall.
“This should be the location of the previous teleportation anchor point.” Xiaobai turned around and said to Chao Yamato, “Chao Yamato, try summoning a teleportation vortex here.”
"Admiral, are you sure?" Chao Yamato stepped forward and asked repeatedly. Her expression clearly showed her uncertainty and great worry. "This cannot have even a millimeter of error... If it fails, the teleportation point might be inside a sealed rock... or somewhere else."
Xiaobai smiled, reached out and pinched Chaodahe's hand, sending a wisp of spiritual energy into her body.
The mental energy was transmitted to Chaoda and her body, transforming into a wisp of information that spread through her mind.
Between the enormous size and the hazy feeling, it was as if I saw a faint, yet remarkably precise, circle on the wall.
Chapter 3517 The Hidden City
Since Super Yamato also said that there is no room for error in activating the teleportation vortex directly on the wall of the teleportation corridor without any punctuation, then after confirming the location, Xiaobai should simply put the confirmed precise location into his mental energy and send it directly into Super Yamato's mind.
After all, conveying information through the mediums of "speaking" and "pointing" is certainly not as precise as conveying ideas.
Chao Dahe lowered her hand and stared blankly at the wall in front of her. She felt that there was a bright line on the wall, which was extremely dazzling.
Oversized and subconsciously reaching out, his fingertips brushed across the lines, gently flicking.
brush----
With a strong fluctuation of the aura of the Dean of the Deep Sea, a rapidly spinning black vortex appeared out of thin air on the empty wall in front of them.
Chao Dahe lowered her hand, rubbing her forehead with one hand. After the mental energy in her mind dissipated, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xiaobai, "Admiral... the teleportation vortex is ready..."
"Okay, let's go take a look quickly," Xiaobai said.
"Admiral, let me go check first." Chao Yamato quickly pulled Xiaobai back, but she shook her head. "If the teleportation location is wrong, at least it won't affect you and Missouri, Admiral."
Xiaobai glanced at Chaoda and the arm that was tightly gripping hers, then looked up at Chaoda's worried face.
Xiaobai suddenly laughed. She grabbed Chao Yahe's arm and, before she could react, pulled her directly into the teleportation vortex in front of her.
"Hey! Admiral, the admiral..."
The voice of the super-powered Yamato was swallowed up halfway through the teleportation vortex and disappeared.
Standing at the very back, Missouri looked at the quietly spinning, pitch-black vortex. The two figures, Shiro and Yamato, had completely disappeared from sight. She smiled slightly and calmly stepped into the vortex, letting it swallow her up.
……
As always, the familiar dizzying sensation.
Xiaobai felt herself fall into Chaodahe's arms. Then, the cool, soft, and generous touch of Chaodahe pressed against Xiaobai's face and chest. With the friction and contact between the two, wave after wave of Chaodahe's proud advantages were displayed to Xiaobai.
It was pitch black all around.
The space was extremely cramped.
Surprisingly, after emerging from the whirlpool, I found myself surrounded not by surging waves, but by a cold and expansive sea.
In this darkness, the surroundings were unexpectedly quiet; Xiaobai could even clearly hear Chaoda's breathing right next to his ear.
"Have we arrived?" Xiaobai asked in the darkness.
"Admiral...we...we haven't been teleported into rocks or walls, have we..." Chao Dahe said, sounding a bit panicked.
"Haha... Don't be so pessimistic..." Xiaobai smiled, leaned forward, and then reached behind her, her hand brushing against the waist of the super big woman. After searching for a while, she found something that looked like a doorknob. "...Got it."
Xiaobai gave it a gentle push.
Then there was a creaking sound.
The darkness before me split in two, and moonlight entered my field of vision.
With a startled cry, Chao Da realized she had lost her footing and fell backward.
Missouri appeared behind Xiaobai at this moment. Missouri pushed Xiaobai, and the two of them squeezed Chaoda and out of the narrow space.
She stumbled out of the cramped space and fell to the ground, her buttocks landing hard on the floor.
Her large, beautiful eyebrows furrowed instantly. She rubbed her bottom, then got up from the ground, looking around with a blank expression.
The huge space she was in felt very livable; it was like a dressing room, with wardrobes that could be opened and closed all around. She had just fallen out of one of those wardrobes.
This place is clearly not the sea.
