The shadows beneath the surface of the water are swaying, rising, dense, and desperate. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The lotus stared at the water tightly, he had never held it up, and at this time the muscles of his whole body were accumulating, ready to meet the next moment of storm.

After Li Jiani went ashore, she took off her hood and untied the rope that was in the way. She was also infected by the tense atmosphere, her little fists clenched, ready to lash out at all living creatures.

"Whoa.."

"Bang bang bang .."

Pitch-black skulls emerge from the water, followed by powerful forelimbs, and large, bloated bodies loom in the water. The exposed skin was dark and thick, like the sebum of a rubber tree.

The Silence of the Mystery..

The two people on the shore and a group of monsters on the water stared at each other for a few seconds.

The eyes of Lotus and Li Jiani slowly changed from doubt to surprise, and then... The two scrambled to jump into the pool.

"Wow!!"

Li Jiani fluttered and rushed straight to the biggest monster, hugged it and didn't let go, her beautiful little face was full of excitement.

The ten-meter-long monster allowed her to roll and play, and occasionally even showed a smile of enjoyment. It laughed, and Li Jiani made even more joy.

The lotus also smiled and crouched on top of a monster, gently caressing its somewhat rough skin.

The other monsters swirled around the two of them, smiling from time to time.

Their smiles are characteristic, and such a huge monster has no teeth! There are only two flat, white bones in the upper and lower jaws, which is particularly funny when grinning.

The lotus flower looked around, and the number of monsters was about fifty, which is probably the only number left on the earth. He sighed in his heart.

The Stella manatee, also known as the sea manatee, the giant dugong. Unguarded livestock.

The Stella manatee was discovered in 1741 by the naturalist George Stella, who was travelling with explorer Vitus Bering, the only known biologist to have seen a manatee alive.

Manatees have a very low metabolism and can even survive for about 200 days without eating or drinking! They also have a long lifespan, and decades should not be too simple. The qualities of this manatee are even more exaggerated in all respects.

According to official estimates based on fossils, the Stella manatee is 7-8 meters long and weighs 4,000-5,800 kilograms.

But it is clear that there is an error in this data, and the adult manatees in front of them are about 10 meters long and weigh an estimated 7,000 kilograms.

Stella manatees are not afraid of humans by nature and are exceptionally friendly to humans.

Stella described it as not angry, not yelling, even when hurt by someone. When a companion is injured, other manatees will try to rescue him.

Due to their range close to the coast and their slow movements, they are fairly easy to catch. Russian fur traders took advantage of their friendly nature to hunt and kill in large numbers, making their species extinct in 1768.

Only about 2,000 of the Stella manatees were left when they were discovered by the Bering Expedition in 1741, and the largest manatee family was declared extinct in just 27 years due to the subsequent hunter slaughter. It has been called a great tragedy in the history of biology by scholars.

However, the lotus pat the big guy who was playing around under her with kindness, which was a miracle.

"Manatee! Wow wow! ”

Li Jiani was so happy that she grabbed Stella Manatee's two little arms and prepared to pull her ashore.

"Alas, don't make a fuss." Lotus hurriedly persuaded loudly: "When people want to go up, they will naturally go up." ”

"Okay!" Li Jiani turned her head to look at the manatee who was smiling a little forcefully, hesitated for a moment, and finally gave up the idea.

Lotus breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered to look up at this underground cave.

The waterhole he was in was about 100 meters long, and the water level was 200 meters deep.

The cave was so large that he couldn't even see the edge along the shore. The blue fluorite on the rock layer reflects the whole space like a dream, which is beautiful! No one could have imagined that there could be such a mysterious underground cave at a depth of 600 meters in South Africa.

The lotus calculates the direction as he gently strokes the manatee's skin, and if he guesses correctly, there are other similar passages in the waters he is in, through which the manatee forage for seaweed and other food. And this is where they live.

But how did this come about? Lotus glanced enviously at Li Jiani, who was chattering and playing, his brain was about to explode now.

All signs told him that the passage here was artificial, but he really didn't want to believe it, he wanted it to be a joke on Earth.

If the pyramid can be explained by a huge number of people, then how can this regular passage of tens of thousands of meters be explained? He really can't think of any plausible answer at the moment.

Lotus took a deep look at the depths of the empty and silent cave, he thought for a while, and shouted to Li Jiani: "Come here, bring the rope too, and let them show us around." ”

"Wow!" Li Jiani cheered happily and went on an adventure with the sea manatee, she felt that she could write an adventure travelogue when she went back!

The lotus tied Li Jiani, who was fluttering over, with herself, her center of gravity sank, and the manatee dived down as if she had a feeling.

"Puff, puff.."

All the manatees followed, and the magnitude was rare.

There are many carnivorous fish living in the water, including sharks, which are apex predators. But no creature dared to make a move on the manatee.

The average manatee can stay underwater for 15 minutes, while the manatee can reach more than half an hour.

The lotus pulls the neck of the manatee to stabilize the center of gravity. Well, he can't help it, there's nowhere else to catch it.

After diving for about fifty meters, a huge passage appeared in front of the two of them, which was also a circular passage, but its diameter was about fifteen meters.

The manatee may be a little unsure of the breath-holding time of the human on its back, or it may be painful for it... It swam vigorously, but the creature's speed itself was unusually slow, and it took five or six minutes to swim less than a kilometer of passage.

"Whoa."

The lotus flower hugged Li Jiani and paid the water, the same ghostly light, the same cave. It's just that the cave is very small, basically a waterhole, and there is no space to stand.

"Let's keep walking!" Li Jiani asked excitedly, although there are no good things here, but in case there is a cave.

Lotus shook his head, just now he noticed that there were also two entrances with a diameter of fifteen meters underwater, so it was not a good idea to explore endlessly.

"Let's go back and have a look ashore first." (To be continued.) )
