Masha hesitated whether to turn back.
But his body continued to dive with full concentration.
This is probably what is said in "Made in Abyss", the cave explorers' yearning for the unknown in the abyss.
The best cave explorers in the animation will eventually go to a depth from which there is no return and begin their "journey to the extreme".
——Will I keep diving down like this, all the way to the bottom of hell?
Just then, Masha saw the light.
He once thought it was an illusion caused by the surrounding environment, but Shelley seemed to have seen it from the pinhole camera brought by Masha - after using props and synchronizing with the appearance of Baiquan, the camera seemed to have become a state without entity but still functioning, so it was not afraid of the water pressure at this depth and could work normally.
As for how the signal is transmitted into the world in the car - of course it is through the wall-penetrating circle. When in the base, the space is closed and narrow, and it is not easy to use the wall-penetrating circle. To build a "front-line base", now, of course, you just need to find a secret place to park the car, put the wall-penetrating circle, and then you can receive the signal in the world in the car.
"There's a light! Oh my God, are there monkfish at the bottom of Loch Ness?" Shelley exclaimed.
That's clearly not monkfish.
Judging from the color, it shouldn't be magma or something like that.
Masha moved closer to the thing.
It was something like a wall lamp on the rock wall. Next to it was a cave that was obviously man-made. Outside the cave, there was a passage built along the rock wall, but it had been worn out over the years and was almost unrecognizable.
Masha did not rush into the cave entrance, but followed the remains of the passage at the entrance. Soon he saw the remains of a stone chamber also built on the rock wall...
He kept moving forward along the increasingly unrecognizable path on the rock wall, gradually making a circle and returning from the other side to the vicinity of the glowing wall lamp on the rock wall.
Along the way, Masha saw many remains of man-made structures.
——Shit, this is a town built on a rock wall! Surrounding this abyss.
——Is Avalon really here?
- If this is really Avalon, why build a town around such a place?
——If I continue going down, what will I see?
Masha was very curious and had a strong urge to continue rushing down.
But reason told him that he should go into the cave with a light at the door and take a look.
Although Masha is in the form of a plesiosaur at this time, Baiquan adjusted his body shape in order to be able to pass through the portal. If you have to say, he is probably a young plesiosaur.
He crawled into the cave, crawling forward using limbs that were not suitable for moving on land, with his long neck stretched forward and his little head looking left and right.
The ultrasonic organ told Masha that the cave was not deep and the end was just ahead.
He moved forward quickly and reached a door.
Marsha looked at the door and studied the pattern on it. Then he heard Shelley say through his earphone: "Press the flower-shaped thing."
Masha immediately stretched out his head and used the plesiosaur's nose to press down the "flower" that was much larger than a human head.
The door slowly opened with a roar.
Inside was a not very big room with a small altar in the middle of the room, on which was placed a gorgeous scabbard.
——It’s strange, the sword was probably dropped somewhere outside and picked up, but the scabbard was well preserved here.
——In the legend of King Arthur, it seems that it is mentioned that King Arthur wanted the sword more, and then Merlin told King Arthur that the scabbard was the priceless treasure.
——Could it be that, in the real legend, King Arthur only got the sword and did not get the scabbard at all?
- Or has the sword long been separated from its scabbard, wandering in the human world, while the scabbard has always been in Avalon where it was forged?
-Then King Arthur got the sword from somewhere, and then learned that the sword was forged here, and at the end of his life, ordered Bedivere to return the sword and throw it into the lake?
In any case, the scabbard is now right in front of Masha.
Of course, this looks completely different from the scabbard in the FATE series, and it looks very simple.
However, placed in a place like this, no matter how simple Masha is, it cannot be a vulgar object.
Masha approached the scabbard cautiously.
——According to what I experienced under the pyramids and Petra, shouldn't something guarding this sword come out and fight me for three hundred rounds?
Masha was on guard.
However, nothing appeared, until Masha's nose touched the scabbard, still nothing happened.
So Masha made up his mind, bit the scabbard and took it from the altar.
Still no monsters or demons jumped out.
——Since nothing jumps out, I'd better run away!
He backed away quickly - he was still a little too big to turn around in this cave.
The moment he stepped out, Masha had an illusion that something was guarding outside, waiting for him to come out and eat him.
But this is also an illusion—
Suddenly, Masha, who had just exited the cave, saw some kind of huge creature rising from the bottomless abyss below.
It's a plesiosaur!
It’s just that its size is about 30 times that of Masha now.
The real Loch Ness Monster opened his eyes and looked at Marsha.
The eyes glowed green, and it was obvious that he was not a good person - green is the symbol of evil energy in World of Warcraft!
How can someone who uses evil energy be good?
The water monster looked at Masha and suddenly opened its bloody mouth.

Don’t panic, the next chapter will be updated on time at 7:30 tomorrow morning!
Chapter 573: Cheers to this colorful world
In the world inside the car, Baiquan in the form of a plesiosaur was rolling on the ground excitedly.
"There really is a Loch Ness Monster! Ever since I found out Santa Claus is fake, I've always thought the world was boring. I was wrong, this world is so interesting! It would be even better if someone told me that Santa Claus is real next time!"
Qianxun: "According to Ah Sha's current theoretical system, the legend of Santa Claus was born too late to catch up with the Dharma Ending Age."
"Didn't the legend of the Loch Ness Monster come about quite late?" Cai Shi asked. "It was only in modern times that this legend became widely known, right?"
Plesiosaur Baiquan shook her pebble-shaped flat head: "Tsk tsk~ You don't understand this. Although the spiritual energy has only recently started to revive, according to the commander-in-chief's theory, it is very likely that the revival is a gradual process, so it is possible that the dormant water monster has woken up intermittently in the past century! What modern people have photographed are all the Loch Ness Monsters that have woken up intermittently and strolled on the lake!"
Shelley: "It can be explained this way... There doesn't seem to be any big problem with the logic."
Xiao Shi asked worriedly, "Is it okay for us to be so leisurely? Ah Sha looks like he's about to be eaten! Shouldn't we be paying close attention to the situation?"
The girls looked at each other, and seemed to suddenly realize that what Xiao Shi said made sense.
The League Secretary said, "That's... that's the case, but I always feel that - that's it - he will definitely not be eaten by a plesiosaur or something, so I unconsciously feel less nervous."
Baiquan agreed, "Yeah, yeah, if it was Godzilla or Cthulhu that suddenly showed up, I'd probably be a little worried. But right now... the commander-in-chief is invincible! The commander-in-chief doesn't even need to drive a Gundam to tear apart a cricket or a plesiosaur, he can just tear it apart with his bare hands."
After saying that, Bai Quan spread his hands.
**
Meanwhile, the invincible Masha is running around.
His original plan was to open a portal in the lake to go to the planet's wonderland if he got into trouble.
The planet is quite big, so it doesn't matter if it is filled with water. Besides, there are no water-sensitive electronic devices stored in the wonderland on the planet. Even if the wonderland is flooded, it will only turn Stonehenge into an underwater landscape.
He didn't do this because Masha wanted to figure out one thing.
——Why didn't this guy show up before I took the scabbard? Shouldn't the guardian take action before the thief gets the treasure?
——I have got the treasure. This treasure is not just an antique. It may contain powerful power.
——Theoretically, I might be able to use the power of the treasure to deal with the guardian.
——So, according to normal logic, the guardian should definitely be designed to prevent the treasure from being stolen, rather than waiting until the treasure is in the thief's hands before coming out to "arrest" the thief.
——There is something fishy.
To understand why this plesiosaur only appeared now, it is necessary to collect more information.
So Masha dodged left and right in the water, avoiding the huge mouth of the plesiosaur, while observing this huge creature.
—looks like a real creature, not a golem that suddenly came to life.
——If it is a living thing, how has it survived for so many years? It can’t be starving all the time, right?
——Could it be that this plesiosaur still has an S2 mechanism on its body?
Because Masha was running towards the surface of the water while looking back at this large fellow, he couldn't see what was happening behind the big fellow.
In line with the principle that data collected for scientific research must be complete, Masha decided to make a surprise attack, sneak through the blind spot close to the giant plesiosaur, and rush behind it to see what was going on.
He made up his mind, turned around, and rushed towards the huge plesiosaur.
As he rushed down, all his senses focused on the plesiosaur's head.
As long as he could avoid the plesiosaur's head-on bite, he should be able to successfully get behind the giant plesiosaur.
Then, something magical happened.
The plesiosaur ignored Masha who was rushing down again and just kept moving straight towards the water surface.
——Wait a minute, its target is not me?
——Or is it that it treats me as its own kind?
——After all, I am now a lifelike plesiosaur.
——Perhaps the plesiosaur community already possessed wisdom, and then they made a rule that plesiosaurs do not fight each other.
——Could it be because I am also a plesiosaur and have not brought other humans with me, so the behemoth guarding the scabbard is too lazy to pay attention to me?
Masha thinks this possibility is quite high.
—But if that’s the case, why did it suddenly appear again?
Masha always felt that the super plesiosaur woke up and headed towards the lake, which had a lot to do with the fact that he took the scabbard of the holy sword.
——Could it be that I accidentally unlocked the magic circle that seals this super plesiosaur?
——However, for a plesiosaur this big, it seems a bit inappropriate to call it a "plesiosaur".
——This kind of big water monster should be called Kraken or something like that.
The Kraken rose very quickly, with Masha following behind the whole time.
——I always feel that we should notify Britain to disperse the crowd by the lake or something.
——What if this big guy went to the lake to "eat meat", there would be heavy casualties.
Unfortunately, there was no reliable means of communication between Ying and the British intelligence agencies, whether it was the Fifth or Sixth Bureau.
——Or, I will let Chihiro use her "satellite cannon" to attack the uninhabited areas nearby to scare these ordinary people and drive them away.
But Marsha changed his mind and realized that by doing so, the British intelligence agencies could confirm that the series of events in Loch Ness were all related to the shadow.
Masha didn't want to see this development.
He also hoped that intelligence agencies of various countries would invest a lot of manpower and material resources to collect intelligence and analyze whether the commotion in Loch Ness tonight was related to the shadow.
This will be able to more effectively consume the manpower of intelligence agencies of various countries.
So Masha decided to follow "Big Brother" back to the lake, and then quietly open the door and slip away while everyone's attention was on Big Brother.
In fact, Masha could open the door and leave right now, but Masha really wanted to see what the final fate of this giant plesiosaur would be.
——This is a 100% real monster movie! I was also obsessed with "Ultraman Nexus" when I was a kid!
——So I want to see it to the end!
Yes, at this time, Masha had thrown out of his mind the reason why he originally chose not to open the door and go home, but to observe for a while longer. He now just wanted to watch the show.
Finally, the real Loch Ness Monster floated to the surface of the lake.
Masha also floated up, but he hid his body in the water. He used his long neck and the head on his neck as a periscope, exposing a little bit of the water surface to observe the situation on the shore.
In the blink of an eye, the real Loch Ness Monster's eyes emitted green light, sweeping across the lakeshore.
