Chapter 111
There was a loud bang, Fang Jing felt as if a hundred strings of firecrackers had exploded in his head, and a few fragments flashed in his mind, very chaotic, Fang Jing only captured the smoke of the artillery fire from that flashing picture.
What a cheat!
He didn't want to watch people bombard him in his mind at all, it really hurt him to death.
Hey, that's not right!
His sequelae is just that he is prone to hallucinations when he touches an ancient object suspected of being in the sea, and seeing the ins and outs of this thing in his past and present lives, his hand hurts like this?!
Fang Jing let go of his hand, the image in his mind disappeared, and the whole person seemed to have collapsed.
He paused, suddenly felt that something was wrong, looked his head into the coral reef, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
A huge leatherfish about 1.5 meters long lurks in the coral reef at the bottom of the sea, and its gray back shell is inconspicuous in a colorful coral reef, looking like a huge sea stone.
However, this leather turtle opened its mouth wide, its thick forelimbs were twitching and struggling weakly, its neck twisted desperately, the sharp teeth in its mouth cut through the skin on the back of Fang Jing's hand, and bright red blood beads came out and instantly dissipated into the seawater.
Fang Jing quickly retracted his hand, and the image in his mind disappeared.
As if sensing his approach, the leather turtle stopped struggling, and a pair of bean-sized eyes looked at Fang Jing without blinking, with a painful look in its eyes, it moved its front legs with its last strength, as if it was asking Fang Jing for help.
Fang Jing: "?!! β
It's just a sea turtle, why do you see such a humane expression in its eyes.
Fang Jing suddenly felt that he was a little delirious.
The turtle's mouth opened wide to reveal the fine, sharp teeth that covered the entire mouth and esophagus, which was really creepy.
Fang Jing subconsciously stepped back, and the leather turtle desperately opened its mouth as if it wanted to breathe. Its two strong and flexible front paws slid weakly in front of it, and the brilliance in Dou Da's eyes gradually dimmed, and Fang Jing's gaze was full of sadness.
It didn't feel like it was trying to hurt itself, but it seemed like it was in some trouble, and it was trying to ask for help from itself, Fang Jing stopped.
He could feel the magic of the water bubbles, and the last time the murderous ghost flower touched the water bubbles, it couldn't hurt him in the slightest, this leather turtle ...... It shouldn't hurt him...... Right?
Fang Jing stopped his body and tentatively approached the leather turtle, this time he could see the leather turtle's big mouth full of sharp teeth and esophagus more clearly, a little white transparent object was faintly revealed between the sharp teeth, and a little bit bulged out with the big mouth of the leather turtle.
Fang Jing suddenly realized that it was a small plastic bag.
It has long been heard that this leatherfish turtle, which feeds mainly on jellyfish, has sharp teeth and an excellent digestive system, and can constantly capture, store and digest food while swimming, but it will not distinguish the difference between plastic bags and jellyfish, and often swallow the plastic garbage bags floating in the water as jellyfish, and as a result, the plastic bag is stuck between the layers of teeth, causing esophageal intestinal obstruction and death.
This species, which has few natural predators in the ocean, is nearly extinct because of the small plastic garbage bags invented by humans.
It is also a breed that has been accidentally injured by the product of the development of human society.
Fang Jing sighed.
This leather turtle is very smart, it is stuck in the garbage bag, and when it sees it, it knows to call for help, but does it really have to put your hand in his mouth to take the garbage bag out?
Fang Jing's head was about to explode, he blistered his whole body, and trembled and put his hand into the leather turtle's mouth.
Cen Jiu and Xiao Ze were scattered around with a few novice divers, and they noticed from a distance that Fang Jing was staying in place, the situation seemed to be a little wrong, Cen Jiu gestured towards Xiao Ze, signaling him to take care of a few rookie divers, but he swam towards Fang Jing.
In the case that Fang Jing does not use the water bubbles, the dark guard brother who has the function of breathing in the meeting, now the technology of diving alone has far surpassed Fang Jing, he just got a formal diving license last month, and it is really thanks to him, it has only been two years since he came to the modern civilized society, and in this strange city made of reinforced concrete, he not only made a satisfactory boyfriend, but also had a rich social work experience.
I've moved bricks, I've driven boats, I've fished, I've fished boats, I've killed sharks, I've sold crabs......
Cen Jiu said that in addition to killing, it turns out that he is also proficient in all kinds of fancy survival skills!
This is a shallow sea area, knowing that Fang Jing has special diving equipment and skills, Cen Jiu is not worried about his safety.
Swimming to Fang Jing's side, he saw Fang Jing's hand "stuck" in the middle of a pile of sharp teeth, his face under the diving helmet changed slightly, and he was about to step forward to stop it, Fang Jing shook his head, Cen Jiu also found that something was wrong, and stopped moving.
Fang Jing tried to straighten and straighten his fingers, and several times his fingertips touched the sharp tips of the row, and his scalp was about to explode.
Finallyβ
It seemed that he had touched a small piece of slippery and soft flakes, and Fang Jing's spirits perked up, this was it.
Fortunately, the plastic bag was only stuck between the esophagus and did not slip into the intestines, otherwise it is estimated that even the doctors would not have been able to save its life.
The leather turtle seemed to know that he was about to be saved, and opened his mouth harder, Fang Jing's fingers were forceful, and little by little he carefully took out the plastic bag - it was smaller than the No. 2 plastic bag in the supermarket, a little thin, and the bag had been cut by the sharp teeth of the leather turtle's esophagus, giving it a big mess together.
The plastic bag was taken out, and the leather turtle spat out a stream of water bubbles with its mouth open, and swam around Fang Jing several times with its forelimbs - Fang Jing just felt that it was expressing his happiness.
His eyes widened, thinking to himself that this leather turtle was afraid that it had become a sperm, so human.
But thinking about the long life of the leather turtle, and looking at the volume of the one in front of you, it should have lived for more than a hundred years, to say the least. But all living things, as long as they have brains, live for a long time, are well-informed, and most of them have a little understanding of human nature.
Raising his hand and touching the tortoise's blue-gray head, Fang Jing motioned for it to continue its journey, not wanting him to be too close to him.
To be honest, humans are not very friendly to all non-human species now, and this is when he meets him, and if he meets someone else, and sees that this turtle is so huge, maybe he will catch it ashore for a while.
If it is better, please ask the brick family professor to identify it, recognize its tall identity, and release it into the sea; It's not impossible to almost kill the stew or anything.
It was about a narrow escape from death, and the leather turtle swam around Fang Jing happily with a liveliness that did not suit its age, refusing to leave.
Fang Jing didn't chase it away after a few times, so he left it alone, dived to the bottom of the sea again, and picked up a clump of coral reefs near the seabed, and after a while, picked out a small metal fragment.
That's it!
This time he was more cautious, tentatively touched his hand, and sure enough, his head seemed to be hit by someone, and he quickly retracted his hand.
Nima, what can I do about this?
According to the urine properties of the past, he was now sure that this small fragment must be related to the underwater shipwreck, which was very important, but he didn't want his head to bloom.
Fang Jing hesitated, but Cen Jiu understood, swam over and picked up the small piece and handed it to him.
Fang Jing didn't dare to take it directly, and motioned for Cen Jiu to put it in the pocket of his diving suit.
Cen Jiu understood and put away the fragments.
Seeing this, the leather turtle opened its mouth to reveal a mouth full of terrifying fangs, trying to bite Fang Jing's diving suit.
Fang Jing touched its head and motioned for it to play by itself.
This little leather turtle seemed to be because Fang Jing saved it, and regarded Fang Jing as a benefactor, swimming around him. As he swims, his mouth opens slightly, like a deep hole that never ends, sucking in the surrounding water and sponge creatures.
Fang Jing rubbed his forehead, he didn't know how to communicate with this big leather turtle. He rested his hand on the turtle's forehead and tried to convey his idea to the other person to keep it migrating, and then find a warm beach to lay eggs and reproduce without getting too close to people.
Humans are not good playmates for creatures like them.
Something strange happened, the two thick and powerful forelimbs of the leather turtle touched the fragments in Fang Jing's pocket, circled around him, and then swam forward. After swimming for a while, seeing that Fang Jing didn't follow, he swam back again, holding his duck flippers and rowing forward with his front legs like oars.
Does that mean to follow it yourself?
This thought flashed through Fang Jing's heart, feeling a little incredible.
Since he was a child, he is a person who has no animal fate, cats hate dogs, and when he encounters stray dogs on the road, he will be chased and run away.
He beckoned to the rookie team not far away, and a few beginner diving students swam over, and suddenly saw such a big guy, they were very excited, and they circled around the leather turtle, and some people even took out an underwater camera and patted the leather turtle.
It's really earned! I didn't expect to come to dive and find such a rare big leather turtle.
Fang Jing looked at the scale of the oxygen cylinder, they had been in the water for more than an hour, and it was best for novices not to stay underwater for a long time to avoid accidents.
And it's only March now, although it's spring, the temperature is much warmer than in winter, but it only hovers around twelve or three degrees, and the comfort of the sea is not high at this time, soak in the water for too long, people freeze and freeze, in case the body cramps are also a troublesome thing.
Even if this is only a shallow sea area, the danger factor is not great, after all, it is a matter of human life, Fang Jing did not dare to be careless at all, and motioned for Xiao Ze to take the other divers on the boat first, while he himself planned to follow this leather turtle with Cen Jiu to see where it was going to take him.
Xiao Ze was also surprised when he saw the leather turtle, but he didn't mean anything to object, and took a few divers to take the lead on the boat.
A few rookies were playing to their heads, and were interrupted by Fang Jing, although they felt a little disappointed, but they signed an agreement when they went into the water, and they must fully follow the instructions of the diving instructor during the diving process, and the objection was invalid, so they had to follow Xiao Ze back to the boat first.
Fang Jing patted the leather turtle's head and motioned for it to lead the way.
The leather turtle seemed to understand what he meant, waved his front legs happily, and with a slight stroke, his huge body swam far away in a very unscientific straight line, even the diving skilled worker Fang Jing and Cen Jiu, who had the blessing of internal strength, followed very hard.
It's a cheat.
Leather Turtle is a well-known swimmer, with speeds of up to 22 miles per hour, much faster than ordinary boats, and he and Cen Jiu are flesh and blood.
Probably disgusted with Fang Jing's slow swimming, the leather turtle swam for a while, then turned his head back to Fang Jing, arched his legs with his head, and showed him the thick shell on his back.
Fang Jing was stunned for a moment, and understood what this little leather turtle meant, oh no, the big leather turtle meant, it seemed that he wanted to carry him and Cen Jiu, and suddenly he couldn't say anything.
This, this, this...... It's really a success!
The two of them sat on the back of the turtle, and the big leather turtle swam fast with its front legs like an oar, Fang Jing suddenly felt that the sky was thundering, and he felt particularly wonderful.
Sitting on a boat and observing the underwater world and sitting on the back of a sea turtle at the same speed to see marine life up close is a completely different, more amazing and more incredible.
Cen Jiu sat behind him, holding his waist, both of them were shocked by this unexpected thing.
I don't know how long it took to swim, but the big leather turtle finally stopped.
It paddled its forelimbs and leisurely walked around the bottom of the sea, and after a while, it came to a group of submarine reefs, and swam towards a small mud bag with Fang Jing's flippers in its mouth.
The little mud bag was inconspicuous in the middle of a pile of rocks, bulging like a buried stone.
Fang Jing and Cen Jiu pulled it for a long time, and then opened the small mud bag, revealing a cylindrical stone, and after picking it up for a while, the whole stone revealed its original appearance, and Fang Jing suddenly became a little messy in the wind.
What kind of stone is this, this is clearly a mountain cannon, shell!
Or the shells that were left over after they had been blasted out.
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and asked Cen Jiu to take out the metal piece that he had previously put in his pocket, and compared it with the bullet shell, and found that it was indeed the same thing.
The leather turtle seemed to be happy, and its head was put on top of Fang Jing's hand, and it returned to the top of the shell, and swam around happily.
In other words, this big leather turtle that has become a fine has swam far away with them, just because he saw Fang Jing touch a small piece of bullet shell before, so he wants to tell them, has he seen something bigger and more complete?
How did a sea turtle distinguish such a small piece of shrapnel from a shell?
Saying that Cheng Jing underestimated it, this is already at the level of a turtle god! If this leather turtle suddenly spoke at this time, Fang Jing felt that he would probably accept it calmly, and he would not be surprised at all.
As if he had completed some heavy task, the leather turtle played around Fang Jing for a while, and then swiped his forelimbs and swam away leisurely.
Fang Jing was in the shape of a hand under the water, hey, don't go, let's carry them back to the boat.
The devil knows where this turtle has run away now.
The scale of the oxygen cylinders has bottomed out, indicating that they have swam for at least forty minutes or more.
At the speed of the leather turtles, Fang Jing judged that they were now 13 nautical miles away from the fishing boat.
Do you want them to swim back?
Fang Jing burst into tears suddenly, the turtle master must have a beginning and an end in his life, you can't be like a bad guy, kill or bury...... Ah, bah, the bare-packers are leaving, and the packees are not going back!
The turtle master turned around and swam away in a dashing manner, Fang Jing and Cen Jiu looked at each other, and decided to float to the sea first to see if there were any passing ships, in short, go back to the shore first.
As for the shell, Fang Jing didn't dare to touch it, and used a small net to pocket, ready to take it back to the ship to study again.
His mind is so confused right now that he can't think normally.
The two of them drifted on the sea for a few minutes, and the sound of a motor was heard in the distance, but it was Xiao Ze who drove a fishing boat over.
Thank God for Xiao Ze for making them friends.
At this moment, Fang Jing felt that Xiao Ze's little partner was really powerful, if there was a vote for the best partner in the world, he would definitely vote for Xiao Ze without hesitation.
"Brother, you are really my own brother, this charcoal in the snow couldn't be delivered in time." Fang Jing pulled the side of the boat, and was very moved.
Xiao Ze stretched out his hand and pulled them up, saying, "I've been following you, but I didn't expect that leatherback turtle to be so fast, I drove to a speed of nearly fifteen knots, and I was still thrown down by it." Xiao Ze also had a husky expression on his face, he didn't expect that leatherback turtle would be so naughty, and he would "kidnap" people, and one tie was two.
Several students were also very curious, today is really an eye-opener, this time after going back, they have the capital to show off with their colleagues and friends.
"Boss, what's in your hand?" As soon as the students saw Fang Jing entering the water empty-handed, they had an extra net bag in their hands when they got on the boat.
"The gift that the leather turtle gave me." Fang Jing said depressedly.
Fortunately, Xiao Ze is reliable, otherwise he would have been miserable today.
Everyone laughed, obviously not believing him, thinking that it was something he had just fished underwater.
Xiao Ze took a look at the net pocket, and raised his eyebrows: "Where did you get the cannons, shells, shells?" β
"This is underwater." Fang Jing shuddered and entered the cabin, leaving everyone looking at each other, and no one spoke for a long time.
"Don't go into the water next time." Cen Jiu frowned, helped him take off his diving suit, came over with a blanket, wrapped him in the blanket, squatted down and began to rub his body.
After soaking in the icy sea water for more than an hour, Fang Jing's body was almost frozen, and he didn't seem to have internal strength to protect his body, he was completely relying on his young body to carry it, how could he stand it after a long time.
Wrapped in a blanket, his body was rubbed by Cen Jiu to heat, so that Fang Jing's teeth did not continue to tremble, and he was able to speak.
"It's okay, it's okay to just soak in the water for an hour or two a day." In the future, you will have to rely on diving to eat, which cannot be avoided, it is better to exercise early to better adapt to the environment.
"I'll just go into the water with Xiao Ze." Cen Jiu looked at him expressionlessly, "Xiao Ze is going to work after he gets paid, and I have also got a diving certificate now." β
Cen Jiu said, took out a wine bottle from the cabinet and handed it to him, Fang Jing took it and took two sips.
The hot liquor swallowed in his stomach, as if there was a fire burning in his stomach, and a warm current flowed along his limbs and hundreds of bones in his body, and the chill in his body was dispelled.
Fang Jing's cold and blue face was stained with blood, and he also eased up.
"Don't worry, I'll pay attention to it myself, if my body can't stand it, I'll definitely get on the boat." Fang Jing sneezed a lot, his nose was a little stuffy, and he probably really caught a cold.
The two of them went into the water at the same time, staying in the water for about the same time, and when they returned to the boat, Cen Jiu was like a nobody, on the other hand, he seemed to be frozen outside the door for three days and three nights in the ice and snow, and Fang Jing would never admit that it was because of his poor physique, and firmly believed that it was because the two of them spent too much body sleeping last night.
What Dr. Qiao said is really reasonable, it is not good to indulge in excessive desires, young people, X things must be controlled.
Fang Jing regained his spirits and immediately remembered the gift he had just received.
Cen Jiu handed him the net pocket, Fang Jing reached out to take it excitedly, and as soon as his fingertips touched the shell, he slammed into the ground, and his head seemed to explode.
With a shake of his hand, the empty bomb shell fell, Cen Jiu made a move like lightning, stretched out his hand and fished it out, faster than the wind, and scooped up the empty bomb shell.
He aimed at the bullet shell in his hand, which was sharp and round, and then looked at Fang Jing's pale face, and as soon as he raised his hand, he was about to throw it out.
"Don't-"
Fang Jing saw his plan and hurriedly stopped, "I'm fine." β
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and held the empty shell in his hand.
There was a loud bang, and there seemed to be a burst of fire in front of him, and the raging fire was ignited, and the flags on the mast were burned.
The flames were intertwined, the cannons roared, and the flames of war were pervasive.
A camouflaged old Korean fishing boat, under the cover of two warships, fled in a hurry.
A cannonball landed in the sea near the port side of the fishing boat, which shook its hull and slowly drifted away from the shore.
Fang Jing originally wanted to see more impact, but the skyrocketing cannon fire stirred his brain as if someone had been torn alive from his skull, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
Cen Jiu saw that Fang Jing didn't look right, and a hand knife slashed at Fang Jing's wrist, Fang Jing was in pain, and as soon as his hand was loosened, the fragments fell down.
"Whew-"
Fang Jing broke out in a cold sweat.
In the past, when he came into contact with those things that came out of the sea, he could sometimes see some strange effects, but basically he was a bystander, watching how those images happened, it did not have much impact on him, and it has never appeared in such a situation today.
Fang Jing squatted down, no longer rashly touching this strange gift from non-humans.
Judging from the image he saw just now, Fang Jing could only guess that there should have been a naval battle here, it stands to reason that he can only see the ins and outs of this cannonball's past and present life at most, and the situation of the cannonball in the image should not be in any danger to himself, but the reaction just now was as if there was really a cannonball bombarding him, that kind of scorching temperature, strong impact, not at all like the previous simple image.
Is there anything special about this empty shell? Or is there something wrong with his body?
Fang Jing fell into deep thought.
