"Xiaobei, then, what is that?" Lu Linglong looked to the east with some horror. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhou Quanbei's brows also furrowed.
This cross is a little too weird.
Its two sides, not parallel, but one side high and the other low, are a bit like the two huge arms of a giant.
And its gestures are even more terrifying. It's like pinching your own neck, as if you're going to kill yourself.
What's going on?
But before the three of them could study, at this time, above their heads, a swarm of black and gray corpse cockroaches, like rain, 'crackled' from the ground above their heads.
Zhou Quanbei didn't know if they could continue to survive in the water, so he hurriedly pulled Lu Linglong and Li Hongmei to put on masks and dive down.
But to Zhou Quanbei's surprise, the sea water above was clear and cool, but below, it was much softer, and the normal temperature was restored, allowing Zhou Quanbei and the others to get some respite.
Through the light of the flashlight, which was not strong, the three of them soon saw that the top of their heads had been densely packed with corpse cockroaches, covering the sky, as if it was a dark cloud overwhelming the realm.
They don't seem to be able to swim, and while they are thrashing desperately, they make goosebumps with the strange sounds characteristic of 'squeaky' arthropods.
All three were dumbfounded.
The two women were like mermaids, leaning closely to Zhou Quanbei's side.
The corpse cockroach swarm gathered more and more, and at this time, the flashlight could no longer penetrate the seawater above, and the entire top of the head was completely covered by the corpse cockroach swarm.
At this time, Lu Linglong's big eyes looked at Zhou Quanbei in horror, and her small hands desperately pointed behind Zhou Quanbei and Li Hongmei.
Zhou Quanbei and Li Hongmei also reacted, and hurriedly looked behind them, their bodies couldn't help but stiffen instinctively.
I saw that not far away, a behemoth like a giant 'fish ~ thunder' was swaying, slowly swimming towards the three of them.
Its size is so large that it must be at least a dozen meters.
Although it doesn't move fast, every time it swims, the huge tail swings slightly, making the sea feel a huge vibration force.
Rao is Zhou Quanbei and the three of them were twenty meters away from it, but they could clearly feel the vibration of the seawater.
The two women looked at Zhou Quanbei in horror, they didn't know what to do at all.
Zhou Quanbei's face was also very solemn, on his head, there was a dense swarm of corpse cockroaches, and a few steps away, there was this huge indescribable creature, which was simply a wolf in front and a tiger in the back.
Fortunately, several people were ready, and Zhou Quanbei hurriedly gestured to the two girls and continued to dive.
At this time, Zhou Quanbei could only pray that this giant could not see his three little shrimps and find another way.
A few people quickly dived down five or six meters, and at this time, this huge creature slowly came to the top of the three people in Zhou Quanbei.
Although the three of them had worked hard enough to dive just now, they still couldn't match the speed of this behemoth, it was the overlord in the water.
The two women leaned on Zhou Quanbei's side in horror, and by this time, they had almost no hope for survival, just hoping that if they wanted to die, they could be with Zhou Quanbei.
But Zhou Quanbei was incomparably calm at this time.
I walked a lot at night, and there were a lot of things, so it was not surprising.
Even if this is a Neptune rex in front of him, as long as he dares to get along with himself, Zhou Quanbei will knock out a few of its teeth.
The Big Mac suddenly stopped above the heads of Zhou Quanbei and the others.
At this time, from the perspective of Zhou Quanbei and the others, it was just right to see its 'face' clearly.
This is supposed to be a whale.
The upper part of the body is blue-black, but the abdomen still has some fish characteristics, which is the legendary 'fish belly white'.
Its huge mouth, in the shape of an inverted crescent, though not open
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) open, but Zhou Quanbei can still clearly feel how eerie and terrifying it is.
Its eyes were probably bigger than a basketball, and they were so wide that they seemed to fall out.
Zhou Quanbei also discovered at this time that this big guy seemed to be very sensitive to the light of the flashlight in Zhou Quanbei's hand, or very curious, and it was feeling with its eyes what it was.
Zhou Quanbei hurriedly turned off the flashlight, and the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.
Only above their heads, the little bit of crystal light emitted by the crystal ore like mica, so that Zhou Quanbei and the three of them could clearly see the existence of the behemoth above their heads.
At this time, seeing that the light was turned off, this behemoth also lost interest in the three of Zhou Quanbei below, and let out a huge 'whistle' sound unique to whales, and slowly floated upward.
Under the gaze of Zhou Quanbei and the others, it opened its huge mouth, but the target was aimed at the group of corpse cockroaches who were in a hurry.
Although it was seven or eight meters underwater, the three of Zhou Quanbei could still clearly hear the irritating noise of these annoying arthropods when they entered the body of this behemoth.
Maybe it's not enough to take a bite, and there are fish that have slipped through the net, this behemoth turned around again, and continued to take another big bite, these poor corpse cockroaches, like headless flies touching a black hole, can only be attracted by the huge flow of water into the belly of this behemoth.
The whole eating process lasted about ten minutes, and all the corpse cockroaches on the heads of Zhou Quanbei and the three of them, as well as some arthropods that were not named, had been wiped out and turned into the food of this behemoth.
The behemoth burped and spewed out a powerful stream of water, and Youzai turned around, as if in his own back garden, and wanted to swim in the darkness in the distance.
It wasn't until the big guy left for five or six minutes that Zhou Quanbei and the three of them reacted and tried to snorkel upward.
The water on the surface of the sea was still so cold, but without those pesky arthropods, the sea was quiet again, except for the shallow sound of the waves crashing against the inner walls of the cave.
Sensing that there was no danger nearby, Zhou Quanbei and the three of them emerged from the sea water and breathed in a big gulp.
"Xiaobei, just now, then, what is that? It's horrible. Lu Linglong obviously had palpitations.
Li Hongmei said: "Xiaobei, that's a whale, right?" However, it looks like it should be a toothed whale. Why do you even eat these little bugs? ”
When Li Hongmei went to college, she majored in oceanography and had some understanding of this aspect.
Zhou Quanbei couldn't figure out what the situation was for a while.
However, looking at this appearance, these corpse cockroaches seem to be specially prepared food for this Big Mac, and there is a strong human factor.
"I can't say it right now. Let's go ashore first and look for clues slowly. Zhou Quanbei whispered to the two women.
The big guy just now didn't hurt Zhou Quanbei and the others, and it also made the mental state of the two girls relax a little, they followed behind Zhou Quanbei and swam towards the shore carefully.
Coming to the foot of the cross on the east side, Zhou Quanbei took the lead in climbing ashore and carefully inspected the surroundings before pulling the two girls ashore.
The surface of the sea was so cold that the two women shivered a little, but after a while, they were slightly better.
Zhou Quanbei asked the two women to stand by in place, ready to enter the water at any time, and he came to the foot of the cross to take a closer look.
When Zhou Quanbei got closer, he found that the craftsmanship of this cross was quite rough and had been carved, but it was obviously quite insincere, just a rough outline, and there was no specific thing on it.
However, the material of this stone is the same as the stone that Zhou Quanbei saw in the cave before.
Could it be that the top and bottom are connected?
But it's not right.
If it was connected, Zhou Quanbei and the three of them jumped just now
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) and it should not fall into the water, but at the foot of this cross.
Zhou Quanbei hurriedly turned on the flashlight and shone it up.
Unfortunately, although the cave is only a dozen meters high, there is no substance on it, and the light cannot pass through, so it is impossible to see what is on it.
But at the top of the cave, there was a circle of shiny things, emitting a faint light.
You can't see the bottom from above, but you can see the faint light from below.
This made Zhou Quanbei further confirm the inference that the above was mica ore.
Huaxia has long had an application to mica.
The most well-known is the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang.
Scientists have shown that as early as the Dunhuang period, craftsmen used mica in the rendering of murals, which can make the colors brighter and at the same time, they can also be preserved for a longer time.
The sparkle at the top of the cave is probably mica ore, which absorbs sunlight during the day and radiates it at night.
At this time, Lu Linglong and the two girls saw that there was indeed no danger here, and they also came to Zhou Quanbei's side, carefully probing the situation of this strange cross.
Li Hongmei suddenly said: "Xiaobei, look, do you look at this cross, does it look like a person, holding a fish in his hand?" ”
Zhou Quanbei couldn't help but be stunned, "Sister Hongmei, how can you see it?" ”
Li Hongmei hurriedly said: "Just now on the shore, I looked at the cross a little strangely. It's like a person stuffing a fish around his neck. When you look closer, it seems that this is indeed the case. You look up, that protruding part, doesn't it look like his hand? ”
Zhou Quanbei and Lu Linglong hurriedly nodded.
Indeed, as Li Hongmei said, the cross arm on the left is like a big hand curled up towards the body.
It's just that the engraving process should not be completed, so it doesn't affect it at this time.
Lu Linglong said at this time: "Sister Hongmei, there are good hands, but what about the fish?" I don't think I saw it. ”
Li Hongmei hurriedly explained: "You guys, does the top of this cave look like it, does it look like the shape of the whale just now?" ”
Lu Linglong hurriedly looked up, and couldn't help but realize that the gathering place of the stars above her head was really a bit like the shape of the whale just now.
But the two girls saw that Zhou Quanbei didn't react, so they hurriedly asked, "Xiaobei, what are you thinking?" ”
Zhou Quanbei took out a waterproof cigarette case from the pocket of his diving suit with some trembling trembling, knocked out one, lit it and took a deep breath, "Sister, Sister Hongmei, this should be a place that has not yet been completed." And, most likely, it was a place of sacrifice. Or rather, it's a place of curse. ”
Lu Linglong and Li Hongmei couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly looked at Zhou Quanbei, Lu Linglong was a little frightened and said, "Xiaobei, I'm afraid." Don't scare me. Curse? Curse what? I hate these the most. ”
Zhou Quanbei smiled, "Sister, this thing is actually not terrible. If we want to get out, we have to figure this out first. One person counts short, three people count long. I'll put my thoughts out there, and the three of us will figure it out together. ”
Lu Linglong understood what Zhou Quanbei meant, smiled a little shyly, and nodded hurriedly, "You said it earlier." But it scared me to death. ”
Zhou Quanbei said again: "Look, if it were a normal person, who would build such a big relic into this shape?" Make such a horrible pose? It is likely that it was the king of Arabia who knew that he could not take revenge on the French, so he would use this feudal method in such a place to curse the French. ”
The two girls also understood what Zhou Quanbei meant, and couldn't help nodding.
Lu Linglong said at this time: "Xiaobei, if it is a curse, then what does the whale just now have to do with here?" ”
