Chapter 511: Chapter 298: The Upside-Down World_3

The other ships were unfortunate, many of them were flung out of the whirlpool during the struggle of the Octopus King, and were crushed into pieces mid-air by the infuriated Octopus King.

Mu You had no time to worry about others, he hurried back onto the small boat, accelerating his escape.

The Octopus King, after its struggle, was flung out of the whirlpool, landing outside. But it immediately launched an attack on the merpeople who dared to ruin its plans.

Mu You was initially a bit concerned about the safety of the merpeople, but realized he was overthinking. The merpeople were far more nimble than imagined, they promptly slipped away after they had accomplished their task.

In terms of swimming, the merpeople were truly the strongest in the sea. Even the Octopus King could not catch up with their trail in the water.

\Once he confirmed the merpeople were safe, Mu You sighed with relief. By then, the small boat had headed towards the center of the whirlpool. Driven by the current, it spiraled rapidly into the vertical passage at the center of the whirlpool, falling straight down and disappeared completely from the surface of the water.

However, what Mu You failed to notice was that, watching from afar, the Octopus King saw the disappearing small boat but did not reenter the whirlpool. Instead, it suddenly entangled its eight tentacles, the other seven tentacles tightly wound around the one that had been slashed by Mu You. Amidst the sound of muscle tearing, that tentacle was torn off.

The gushing blood instantly painted the sea red and the distant whirlpool turned into a blood whirlpool.

The Octopus King then flung the broken octopus tentacle into the center of the whirlpool...

Mu You had no idea about what had happened outside. At that moment, he was following the hollow water passage, falling vertically, with the speed becoming faster and faster, and the surrounding becoming darker and darker, until he had completely lost all light.

The ability of night vision was utterly useless here, all he felt in the pitch black was the continuous falling of the small boat...

After sinking for several minutes, the falling speed of the small boat abruptly slowed down.

Mu You felt as if the gravity had changed its direction, even though the boat was still descending, it actually felt like it was rising.

The boat then began rising faster and faster, until several minutes later, as the ambient light brightened, the boat finally surfaced.

When Mu You opened his eyes, he saw the silver moon hanging high in the sky over his head, its clear moonlight sprinkling down, casting a silver hue over the land.

At this moment they were in the midst of a lake, the edge of the lake was a boundless continent, or was it better to say, a ’city’.

The buildings on the land were strewn about, as if it had experienced an unprecedented earthquake, or some kind of massive collision, all the buildings were in a state of complete ruin. The streets were empty and deserted without a single person in sight.

Returning his gaze back at the small boat accompanying him, Mu You noticed that Little Ya and Lin Xue were there. Other than their faces looking a bit pale, they didn’t seem to have any injuries.

"Ugh..."

Before Mu You could say anything, Little Ya was already leaning over the bow and started vomiting.

It was pretty normal to have this kind of sea sickness after the rough ride and experiencing gravity inversion just now.

Mu You and Lin Xue, on the other hand, were presumably accustomed to the feeling of dizziness because they frequently used Dark Teleportation Array, and didn’t feel any discomfort at the moment.

The two of them rowed the boat to the shore and then helped Little Ya whose eyes were rolling with dizziness.

[You have entered the ’City of Dawn’. The ’City of Dawn’ has a No-fly Zone in place, do not attempt to summon any flying creatures, or try any flying maneuvers.]

’No-Fly Zone...’.

Mu You raised his head and swept his gaze over the ruined city in front of him, he wasn’t sure why but although the layout of the streets before him seemed normal, he felt a certain sense of discordance.

’Huh?’.

At this moment, Lin Xue who was standing by his side suddenly raised her hands and started staring at her palms.

"What happened?"

"The directions here...seems to be backwards."

Lin Xue said, "The lines on my left and right palms have changed, as if my left and right hand have switched positions."

She then placed a hand over her chest; "Yes, even the position of the heart has changed..."

’Oh?’

Mu You also took off his gloves, looking at his own hands.

Indeed, the Aries Ring which was originally worn on his right hand had appeared on his left hand.

"So, this place is essentially a mirror world, where all directions are completely reversed..."

Mu You took another look at the street ahead and finally understood why he had an uncomfortable feeling.

It was the words, all the words and characters on the signboards of those buildings were reversed, hence they looked so awkward.
