Chapter 383: The Wonderful Underwater Forest
We walked a short distance and the ground on the ocean floor sloped significantly, gradually sloping downward. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere was no pearlescent light, and the light at the bottom of the sea dimmed, and everyone had to use their divine senses to observe the road ahead and grope their way forward.
The undersea forest is not very far from the colony of sea shells, and it didn't take long for us to reach the edge of the forest.
It was an endless undersea forest, filled with tall woody plants. As we walked under the broad spherical branches at the edge of the forest, my eyes were first drawn to the strangely shaped trees of the forest.
There were no grasses growing on the ground in the forest, none of the branches of the small trees on the sea floor spreading outward, not a single branch bent and drooping, and none of them stretched horizontally, all the branches stretched straight upward. There is not a single leaf on the tree, and both the tiny branches and the thick trunk grow straight upwards like a flagpole. Entering this forest feels like entering a world of vertical lines.
There is no fine sand in the forest, and sharp stones can be seen everywhere on the ground inside, and you must be careful when you walk in it, because if you are not careful, you may step on a piece and be attacked by a hidden weapon.
There are still shellfish and beetle-like creatures in the forest, but I have observed that all the creatures here, including the tall trees, are only superficially connected to the soil.
All living things have no roots, whether it is kelp, or seagrass, or sea willow trees, whether it is fine sand or shells, or stones, it has no real effect on them, they just use the stones, the sand, and the mud as a fulcrum, and they are not the power to support the growth of these plants at all.
All plants grow on their own, and the only resource for their survival is the sea that sustains them and nourishes them.
After observing it for a while, I realized that it would be incorrect to say that these trees do not have leaves, that they do not have leaves, but that they are relatively small. Each branch has some small, strange-shaped scales that cling tightly to the branch, and these are their leaves.
The leaves are of different colors, from rose red, to magenta, to turquoise, blue-yellow, taupe, bronze, and so on, and the color of these scales allows us to distinguish the difference between the trees.
In the midst of these trees of various shapes more than ten meters high, under their warm and moist shade, there are also some animal jungles full of flowers.
There are walnut-shaped corals that open out like flowers, black-and-yellow caryophyllus corals with transparent tentacles, and piles of stone corals. Flocks of small, colorful fish like hummingbirds frolic in the coral, flying from branch to branch.
There is also a small quail-like fish with bulging gills and sharp scales, which walk and jump not in the forest. They are not afraid of people at all, jumping around us, teasing Songhua from time to time.
We searched for a long time, but we couldn't find the place where the seashell said there was plenty of aura.
At this moment, suddenly, Su Tong pulled me, and Old Man Zhou beckoned us to hurry up and hide behind the rocks.
I somehow hid myself with them, poked my head out of the crack in the rock and looked out, and saw a huge body with a little phosphorescent body of a sea fish, rushing towards the place where we had just stayed.
I felt my heart stop beating all of a sudden, and the blood in my body clotted instantly.
It was a reef shark, a very scary shark with a huge tail, long fangs, and a lot of tiny holes around its mouth, which spewed bubbles from time to time.
I feel like its iron teeth and steel teeth can bite the whole person into meat sauce. Thankfully, the reef shark didn't notice our presence and just stopped by to get soy sauce. It looked around, found nothing worth eating, and continued on its way.
After the reef shark left, Su Tong let out a long breath: "It's really scary, fortunately, this shark's eyes are not good, I was really afraid that it would shoot me to death with its tail just now." ”
"Why don't you want to think it's going to bite you to death. Fan Siqin patted her chest after speaking.
"It's a good thing we dodged in time, otherwise we would have been dead by now. Qian Mo said with palpitations.
"What are you afraid of, I can still hurt you with me. Old Man Zhou said domineeringly.
In order to show his heroism, Old Man Zhou also took great pains to pat the rocks beside him.
At this moment, a rumbling sound sounded around him.
A deep hole appeared in front of us little by little, and a cold air penetrated out.
It is said that as soon as the entrance of the cave is opened, the water in the sea should be poured into it immediately, but the strange thing is that the sea water will automatically separate when it reaches the edge of the cave, and no trace of sea water dares to rush in.
Old Man Zhou probed with his divine sense and said: "There is a formation in here that blocks the sea water, you follow me carefully for a while, don't touch the surrounding things, and cause trouble if the sea water floods." ”
Each of us agreed, and after confirming that we all listened to his words, Old Man Zhou took a deep breath and led us step by step towards the cave.
When all of us and the animals were in the cave, there was a rumbling sound again, and the hole closed behind us.
After Old Man Zhou led us through a very dark corridor, a soft light passed to us through the cave wall in the distance.
I took a closer look with my divine sense, and not far in front of me was an open cave, and the walls on both sides of the cave were inlaid with night pearls the size of bowls, and those beads reflected each other to emit bursts of soft light, illuminating the entire cave as if it were day.
The cave is very empty, there is only a bubbling cold waterhole inside, the strange thing is that the water in the waterhole is milky white, close to smell, there is a faint fragrance.
Lying on the edge of the waterhole was a lazy chipmunk.
As we entered, the chipmunk watched us warily, squeaking from time to time to warn us not to approach the pool.
"Brother!" As soon as Songhua saw the chipmunk, she came to her senses, and rushed over with a snort.
Shuangshuang pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "I don't know if it's a mother or a male, so you're called a brother, a brother." ”
Songhua was unhappy by what Shuangshuang said, and turned to Shuangshuang and said, "Our rat world is not something that you, a machine spirit, can understand, so let's go play elsewhere." ”
