Chapter 313: Mysterious Black Stone
Hai Dongqing's behavior was a bit abnormal, which aroused Lin Tian's curiosity. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He followed Hai Dongqing's guidance all the way, shuttled through the jungle, and unconsciously advanced thousands of meters away.
In the end, Hai Dongqing stopped on an ancient tree that was more than 30 meters tall and had lush foliage like a giant umbrella, and refused to move forward anymore.
Lin Tian knew that there might be the end.
He came to the old tree, which was at least two hundred years old, and looked around.
A hundred meters to the left of the ancient tree is a straight and steep mountain wall.
The bare mountain walls are full of rocks, and even moss and weeds do not grow.
Under the trees there is a dark pool of water, about ten meters square, the size of a lotus pond commonly found in the countryside.
However, the pool was dark and bottomless, and there was nothing on the water.
The waterhole was surrounded by green grass more than a person deep, forming a circle like a fence, and there were more than a dozen wild flowers in the green grass.
Lin Tian took a look, and those green grasses were common ordinary weeds, which could only grow to half a person's height at most, and they reached the limit.
However, the weeds around the waterhole can grow to the height of a person, and they are still lush and vibrant, without a trace of withered yellow color.
Even the few banyan trees near the waterhole were at least twice as tall as what Lin Tianping had seen!
Lin Tian's gaze looked into the distance and found that in the jungle a hundred meters away from the waterhole, the height and size of those banyan trees were obviously much smaller.
With the waterhole as the center, the trees and flowers that are closer to the waterhole will be taller and more lush, and the farther away from the waterhole will be normal.
When Lin Tian found this, he felt a little strange and couldn't help frowning.
What made him feel even more strange was that Hai Dongqing stood quietly on the branch of the ancient tree, looking at him condescendingly, neither moving nor screaming.
"Grandma, this Hai Dongqing, and this waterhole seem to be a little weird!"
Lin Tian clenched the machete in his hand, and became more cautious and vigilant in his heart.
He stepped away and circled the waterhole to see what was going on.
It's just that the weeds around the waterhole are too lush, more than a meter high, blocking his vision and making him unable to see his feet.
Lin Tian walked more than ten meters around the waterhole, and his right foot was suddenly tripped and almost fell into the grass.
He vaguely felt that something was stepping on under his feet, and it seemed to be hard, a bit like a tree branch.
Lin Tian subconsciously used a machete to push away the weeds, and after seeing the situation under his feet clearly, the pupils of his eyes suddenly shrank, and a cold air appeared on his back.
Because, what he stepped on was not a branch, but ...... A white skeleton!
It was a skeleton left behind by the decomposing corpse of a human corpse, somewhat gray in color, and looked like it had been dead for some years.
In this eerie and dead environment, anyone who suddenly sees a skeleton under their feet will be frightened and scream, turn around and run away and fall to the ground.
Girls who are more timid will probably faint directly.
But Lin Tian was still calm and calm, and after observing calmly, he saw the clues.
He could see that the skeleton should be a young man, and he was quite tall and burly.
Moreover, this man must have been injured before he died, and the bones in his chest and under the ribs had long since broken and inserted into the heart or lungs.
Of course, Lin Tian was not interested in the cause of death or identity of this skeleton, and it was impossible for him to investigate anything, let alone collect his body for burial.
He rounded the skeleton and continued to look around the waterhole.
After turning around, he didn't find anything.
So, Lin Tian returned to the skeleton's side.
After he looked closely, he found another problem.
When the skeleton died, it was lying on the edge of the waterhole, curled up, facing the waterhole.
Lin Tian stared at the skeleton closely, thinking secretly in his heart.
"When this guy died, his head was facing the waterhole, his left hand was on his chest, and his right arm was outstretched, hanging over the waterhole. Or rather, his right hand is pointing at the waterhole! ”
"Waterhole...... Yes, there must be something wrong with this waterhole! ”
So, Lin Tian looked away and stared at the inky pool.
The surface of the waterhole is as silent as death, with no ripples or waves, and not a single aquatic plant or creature in sight.
But Lin Tian always felt that there was something wrong with this black water pool, and it seemed a little weird.
So, he stared at the surface of the waterhole and watched carefully.
About two minutes later, Lin Tian suddenly discovered the abnormality!
He saw a black shadow floating in the middle of the pool, about half a meter deep from the water's surface.
The dark shadow was the size of a basin, and it didn't move in the pool.
Although the water in the entire pool was black, the black shadow was even darker and more conspicuous.
"What could it be?"
Lin Tian frowned suspiciously, staring at the black shadow and observing it carefully.
Then, he decided to try salvaging it, so he took out a telescopic rod from the storage space, as well as a net pocket.
The aluminum alloy telescopic rod is similar to a fishing rod, which can extend more than five meters long, and the top can also be equipped with a net pocket.
Together, these two things can be used to catch fish in small rivers and streams, as well as butterflies or insects in grassy valleys.
When Lin Tian purchased expedition equipment, he thought that it might come in handy, so he bought these two things by the way.
He stood on the edge of the pool, holding the telescopic rod in both hands, reached into the middle of the pool, and quietly stretched his net pocket into the pool, netting the black shadow.
Originally, Lin Tian guessed that the black shadow with the size of the basin might be something like a turtle or a king.
But he didn't expect that the black shadow would not struggle to escape, and it was not a living thing at all.
There was a soft sound, and the net bag left the water and was retracted in front of Lin Tian.
He was amazed to see a biscuit-sized stone lying in his net pocket!
The stone is thin and round like a biscuit, and its whole body is pure black, and the black color is palpitating.
And its weight is very heavy, at least about two kilograms, bending the telescopic rods.
Lin Tian looked at the stones in the net pocket and was dumbfounded.
"I'll it! A stone that is less than the size of a palm can weigh four pounds? Can the float in the water?! ”
Lin Tian was very sure that this waterhole was at least two meters deep.
But that mysterious black stone, floating half a meter above the water, will not sink at all.
It's so weird!
This is simply contrary to common sense and subverts Lin Tian's view of physics and science!
He stared at the mysterious black stone and observed it carefully, only to see that the stone was as smooth as a mirror, without any lines or patterns, and he could not see the slightest clue.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Tian discovered an incredible problem.
Ever since he scooped up the mysterious black stone, the color of the inky pool of water has been fading rapidly.
In less than 20 minutes, the black pool water returned to normal and became much clearer!
Lin Tian instantly understood, it turned out that this entire pool of black water was all blackened by mysterious stones!
Even, the trees and weeds around the waterhole are extraordinarily lush and vigorous, which is also related to this mysterious black stone! (To be continued.) )
