Chapter 77: Skeletons
Fang Jing was dumbfounded, a transparent ghost flower was quite beautiful, it looked a bit like a crystal orchid, but thousands of ghost flowers bloomed beautiful petals at you, especially when I saw the murderous appearance of them eating just now, I didn't feel beautiful at all, I only felt a chill from the bottom of my heart.
The ghost flower seemed to sense their presence, and the whole flower stretched out in the direction of the two of them—the elongated stems were like stretched necks, and the half-open petals bloomed little by little.
Living, living, and actually living consciously!
Fang Jing was almost scared, he almost hated his curiosity, this scene was completely beyond his cognition.
This, this, this...... Is this still a creature that grows on the earth where he lives?
Cen Jiu grabbed him violently and quickly swam to the surface.
Behind him, the ghost flower was in hot pursuit, and the water around him was turbulent, Fang Jing glanced back, and just this glance made his hair stand on end.
Hundreds of ghost flowers, like strange jellyfish, chased after the two of them, and inside the open petals, revealing thin stamens, they looked very beautiful, but seeing their murderous appearance of "eating" spearguns and fish, Fang Jing only felt that his scalp was numb every time he looked at it, and he felt dizzy without dense phobia.
The most unacceptable thing is that it is obviously a flower, but it actually swims very fast in the sea water, and the flower stem connected to the root is like eating a rubber demon ghost, which can be stretched infinitely, and it is not afraid to stretch too far, and finally break.
Fang Jing thought stupidly, in the blink of an eye, several ghost flowers actually caught up with Cen Jiu, and wrapped around the two of them like arrows, and then-
No then.
The moment the Ghost Flower approached them, it slid away as if it had touched an invisible shroud.
The moment the ghost flower touched the bubble, it seemed to be very frightened, the petals trembled, and then retracted very unwillingly.
Huh, hey, hey?
This, this, this...... What's going on?
Fang Jing looked incredulous, thinking to himself that in addition to the function of avoiding water beads, his water bubble actually had the function of a protective shield.
It's really earned!
Fang Jing was also worried that this group of ferocious ghost flowers would deceive, and tentatively leaned in the direction of the flowers, but he didn't expect that the small flowers often retreated in unison, and the slender elongated flower stems that were about to break slowly shrank back little by little, returning to the swaying appearance they had before, blooming in place, as if there was some kind of magic power, attracting a prey that didn't know the truth and was ignorant and crashed into it.
Yes, it was obviously in the sea water, and the word swaying came to Fang Jing's mind.
Since the ferocious little flowers couldn't help their water bubbles, Fang Jing suddenly got up, and he didn't run away in a hurry, reached out and touched Cen Jiu, and drew a few times at him, indicating that he wanted to go over and see what was going on.
Cen Jiu seemed to hesitate a little, obviously the scene just now made him very puzzled.
With a protective shield on his body, Fang Jing swam towards the bottom of the sea where the ghost flower grew. In view of the Ghost Flower's previous ferocious behavior, he didn't dare to go deep into the flowers, but only dared to wander around the periphery, hoping to find something.
Cen Jiu patted him on the shoulder, grabbed the fishing village that he had thrown out before, and pulled it hard, and the speargun flew towards Fang Jing's face along with the stones that had been pierced under the water.
Fang Jing stretched out his hand and slapped it away, and the stone rolled twice in the water, and the mud and sand that were originally stuck to it washed away, revealing the true face of Lushan Mountain.
Damn, it's a dead man's skeleton!
The skeleton had been lying under the water for an unknown number of years, and there was not even a trace of flesh on its bones, it was covered with mud and saprolite, and a small ghost bud stood there in one of its eye sockets.
Fang Jing poked the speargun, and a very thin string of water bubbled out of the skeleton's mouth, and the small ghost bud was like someone had pressed the switch, slowly blooming the transparent petals little by little, and then biting the speargun.
I really don't know why it's a flower and doesn't even have a mouth, so why it can make such a very discerning action as "biting".
Fang Jing hurriedly put the speargun back to avoid the end of the second speargun being destroyed.
What the hell is this?
Fang Jing wanted to scream, but under the sea water dozens of meters deep in his diving suit, he couldn't make a sound at all.
Could it be that these ghost flowers grew out of the bones of dead people?
He carefully picked up several ghost flowers, and sure enough, there was a skeleton under each ghost flower, and there were several ghost flowers that grew very tall and beautiful, and the roots were even wrapped around several skulls, and the slender transparent roots poked into the eye sockets, as if absorbing nutrients, firmly rooted in these skeletons.
And there are only skulls, no skeletons.
If there is at least one skull under every ghost flower, how many skulls should there be under such a large ghost flower?
Thinking about it carefully, Fang Jing only felt that his back was cold, and he felt a little creepy.
Cen Jiu pointed to the oxygen cylinder behind him, signaling that he was running out of oxygen.
Although Fang Jing didn't need to rely on these oxygen cylinders to breathe freely underwater, others didn't know about it. Fang Jing didn't want to expose the secret of the water bubble in front of outsiders, so he thought about it for a while, and finally returned to the boat with Cen Jiu first.
On the work boat, Dr. Li pinched his watch, an hour and fifteen minutes had passed since Xiao Zhang and the others went into the water, and Xiao Zhang and the three of them had already returned to the boat, only Fang Jing and Cen Jiu were still missing.
"There are too many undercurrents under the water, and we separated not long after we entered the water, so the two of them should be about to come up." Xiao Zhang explained.
Dr. Li was worried, the oxygen in the oxygen tank was only enough for a person to breathe underwater for an hour and a half, and now that Fang Jing and the two of them did not come up, it was very likely that they would never be able to come up, at least not on their own.
"I just said, don't mix with amateur novices!" Dr. Li was worried and anxious, and lost his temper at Lao Wang, "You have to stuff these two people in, now it's okay, their families have come to the door, where can I go to compensate them for a son!" ”
Lao Wang also realized that he was at a loss, touched his nose, and Dr. Ren Li scolded the dog so much that he didn't say a word.
Dr. Li has always been very opposed to recruiting newcomers and outsiders on the boat, newcomers are inexperienced, and it is easy to have accidents when they are not good underwater, and a good life disappears into the sea like this, and no one wants to see such a thing.
It's a pity, those two young people look really good!
Lao Wang also regrets it a little now, he shouldn't have really relented and let them get on the boat because Fang Jing said a few good words, and now that the two children have an accident, how should they explain to their families.
It was as if the father of one of them was wearing a prosthetic leg, who was disabled.
Thinking like this, Lao Wang felt even more guilty.
Because of this accident, the atmosphere on the ship was even heavier, especially Xiao Zhang, who was in charge of leading the team into the water, squatted on the deck in frustration, everyone's feelings were not good, and everyone's faces were particularly ugly.
Suddenly, a bunch of waves bulged out on the calm sea, and with a "poof", two jet-black heads emerged from underneath.
The assistant's eyes suddenly lit up: "Doctor, it's the two of them." ”
The diving suits of their archaeological team were different from those bought outside, and he could recognize them at a glance.
"Ahem, ahem!" As soon as he came out of the water, Fang Jing immediately took off his respirator and took a deep breath until his nasal cavity and lungs were filled with a hot pain, and the suffocating feeling subsided, and then he hung on Cen Jiu like a dead fish, and the two swam towards the work boat.
Dr. Lee was in good spirits and immediately ordered the people to lower the lifeladder, and when they approached one by one, the others dragged them up.
Fang Jing got on the boat and lay down directly on the deck, unable to get up for half a day.
In order to prevent the people on the working boat from seeing anything, when he was still about ten meters away from the water, he removed the water bubbles, and at this time the oxygen in the oxygen cylinder had already been consumed, and he swam to the surface of the sea completely by holding his breath.
So tired, so painful, I almost died.
