Chapter 9: The Bard of the Deep (4)
The starry sky at night is so clear, the moon is so big and round, so beautiful that it seems to be within reach, and the sky and the sea form a deep horizontal line.
Maybe it was because of the climate, Qin Yunwan couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning, he walked out of the room alone and strolled through an open place to enjoy the coolness.
"Can't you sleep too?" a woman's voice came from behind her.
Qin Yunwan immediately turned his head, it was Yu Fei.
"Sister Yufei, why did you come out?"
"I heard movement outside, and I couldn't sleep, so I followed, and sure enough, it was you. Yu Fei replied.
"The tide has been surging recently, and I'm afraid that the sea coffin has appeared in the past two days," Qin Yundui said.
"Well," Yu Fei said, "and I heard from the prison guards that the sea coffin could only appear in the place in front of it, which was the only deep sea in the vicinity to prevent it from being stranded." ”
"Didn't you hear that the sea coffin has hands and feet, how can you be afraid of running aground?" Qin Yunwan asked.
"Who knows, maybe this creature that has lived on the bottom of the sea for a long time is not dexterous with its hands and feet. ”
"Not only that, but my eyesight shouldn't be good, and my hearing isn't even good," Qin Yundui said, "Many creatures in the deep sea have no vision, because it's pitch black in the first place. ”
"It's scary to think about, I've never seen an underwater creature before, but this time it's good, I'm about to see the biggest one. Yu Fei's words were a little excited.
"If you see it this time, it will not be in vain," Qin Yunwan said with a smile, "However, the underwater creatures are very terrifying, think about it, under such a large air pressure at the bottom of the sea, any strange life may appear, it is estimated that the appearance of some creatures is so abstract that it is incomprehensible, seven noses and eight mouths are possible." ”
Yu Fei covered her mouth and laughed, "You can't scare me, but it makes me look forward to it." ”
"Are you looking forward to it?" Qin Yunwan lowered his head, "The commander has given me a clear task - find that huge sea monster and take out a black stone from its mouth. ”
Yu Fei was stunned for a moment, but her expression returned to calm, and she didn't seem to be too surprised.
"I don't have anything to do with myself," Qin Yunwan said, "You are willing to walk with me, I must protect your safety, I am responsible for this task, you must ensure your own safety." ”
"It's all on the same boat, be polite to me. ”
"It's not a boat, it's me who caused you to get on board. Qin Yunwan said with a little guilt.
Yu Fei brushed her wind-blown hair, "Okay, please keep this guilt all the time." He chuckled.
"Listen, Yundu, the sea seems to be singing. ”
"Sure enough, it's an artist, and the sound of the waves can also compose a song in your heart. ”
"No, I really feel that something at the bottom of the sea is making a sound, like a lonely song. ”
The sea breeze in the middle of the night is indeed a bit strong, but it is very comfortable, and the two of them walked towards the shore of the sea, and they also happened to look at the nearby terrain, and it was very pleasant along the way.
Early the next morning, the prison guards hurriedly called Qin Yunwan and the four of them up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, when you wake up this morning, the tide will become extremely fierce, and I am afraid that this sea monster will appear before tonight."
"Huh, are we going to the beach to keep watch?" asked Wang Yuehan.
"Of course not," replied one of the prison guards, "and the sea monster will cause a small tsunami when it comes to the shore, and until then we will hide in the prison and wait for the sea to subside." ”
When the mission was really approaching, everyone seemed to be nervous, and Qin Yundui once again clarified with everyone the specific content of this mission - taking out a stone from the mouth of the sea coffin.
"What?" Wang Yuehan stood up suddenly, "Absolutely not, this is tantamount to going to death!"
"Don't worry," Qin Yunwan comforted, "I have already thought about it, I will carry it out, and any consequences will be borne by me alone." ”
"No need Brother Yundui", Yin Ning hurriedly grabbed the words, "After all, my body is light, why don't you want me to go, you just tell me how to do it." ”
Yu Fei also sighed, "Alas, it's not a matter of method, but the uncertainty is too strong, first of all, we don't know if there will be enemy interference, as Aunt Fang said, there will be Hu Feng people to interrupt the rest of the sea monster, and secondly, for this monster, who knows if he will shut up in advance? or suddenly move? or hurt it when taking the stone? But if there is a little mistake, as long as he closes his mouth, it will be difficult for people to come out of it again." ”
"Hey, I remember that it was a long time ago when everyone was discussing Hu Fengren, why did the name appear again now," Wang Yuehan muttered. Indeed, the legend about Hu Fengren is really a long time ago, and for many young people, it is just a legend. "Then poke a hole in the sea monster's mouth, and I don't believe that he doesn't open his mouth. Wang Yuehan said.
"It's simple, let's not say that you can't stand steadily, if the sea monster turns around and rushes into the sea, what do you say?" Yin Ning retorted.
"Let's act when the opportunity arises," Qin Yundui said, "After all, we haven't seen the real scene either, and there is another important thing, which is to check the area around this sea area first to see if there will be Hu Feng people." ”
As evening approached, the tide became more intense. Unconsciously, everyone seemed to hear a harsh sound, which made people feel very uncomfortable, the sparse trees around them gradually shook violently, and the iron door of the prison gate shook and creaked.
A prison guard suddenly ran in: "Be careful, everyone!
Everyone gathered in the courtyard, and the gates of the various cells were firmly locked, and within two minutes, a huge wave was seen.
"Get back inside!"
The sea pounded heavily on the prison, and in an instant the room was filled with water, mixed with sea fish, and jumping on the prison floor. After about five or six minutes, the sea water was knee-deep.
When the movement gradually subsided, the prison guard said: "This wave should be the sea water brought up by the sea monster, and if nothing else, the sea monster is ahead." ”
There was water under their feet, but a group of people walked like a fly, ran to the edge of the cliff, and were shocked by the scene in front of them for a while!
A huge head was seen in the distance, which was particularly obvious against the blue sea and clear sky.
The cliff blocked the body of the sea monster, and it was impossible to see its whole body, leaving only a huge head, dark and brown, and the eyes were large but godless, probably because of the deep-sea creatures, although the eyes were large but not agile, and I didn't even know if they were eyes. The two forelimbs were on the edge of the cliff, the hands were small, obviously the forelimbs were not developed, otherwise they would not be afraid of running aground, the mouth was huge and left a gap that was not completely closed, and the mouth slowly opened with a barking sound, until it opened to the maximum, revealing not sharp teeth and black teeth.
"Oh my God, how can there be such a huge creature," the group was shocked, who would have thought that there would be such a monster in the world if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.
"Fortunately, the space in this sea monster's mouth is large enough, and it seems that the mouth can't be completely closed when it is closed, as long as it doesn't alarm him, it should be somewhat feasible to take something in his mouth," Qin Yundui analyzed.
"Indeed, such a large creature, this mouth is two people high, and after entering it, he will use a little levitation power, I'm afraid he won't notice it. Wang Yuehan said.
"Won't you notice?" Yin Ning was still a little worried, "Such a big creature, just watching something mix into his mouth?"
"It is estimated that his strength is not good, this is a common problem of deep-sea creatures," Yu Fei guessed, "and even his hearing is not at the same frequency as us, after all, someone has indeed entered it before." ”
Qin Yundui motioned for everyone to move forward slowly, stopping more than fifty meters away, "Everyone, don't move here, we are like a glass of water for this creature, if you don't make a big movement, you should be able to enter your mouth, everyone is waiting for me here, once there are special circumstances, you can't hit the stone with an egg!"
"What, you want to go over?" Yu Fei looked at Qin Yundui in horror.
"No," Wang Yuehan suddenly grabbed Qin Yundui, "Brother, what if you have three long and two short, should we wait and see?"
"It's true that you can wait, but what if you miss the opportunity. Qin Yundui said.
Just when everyone was hesitating, a voice suddenly came from afar.
Far away on the horizon, a helicopter came by, and it was very small, estimated to hold four or five people.
"Is this our flying machine?"
"No, it's not," one of the guards replied, his tone visibly panicked, "there's never been anyone else here..."
I saw that the helicopter gradually approached, until it flew to the edge of the cliff, and suddenly, two people, a man and a woman, jumped from the helicopter, and the two people were very athletic, and jumped into the air to the top of the cliff.
"What? They don't even want planes?" Wang Yuehan looked at in surprise, the helicopter was obviously unmanned, and then fell, the direction of the fall... smashed squarely on the back of the sea coffin!
The coffin moved, and immediately let out a roar of rage, just... The roar grew louder and louder, and the pitch grew higher and higher, from low to high-pitched, and finally so sharp that it was hard for the ears to accept, and finally inaudible!
"This sound wave?!everyone stand back!" But it was too late, the group of people was already unable to move, the two human prison guards had already fainted, and all of them were limp and knelt on the ground with their ears clutched.
It was halfway through that the sound wave stopped, and everything returned to quiet.
At this time, Qin Yundu's body was completely weak, and they tried their best to restrain themselves to calm down, and the other few prison guards were guarding their positions, and their barren spiritual power could not withstand this sound wave at all, and they struggled to crawl backwards.
"It's... Sure enough, although this deep-sea creature has poor eyesight, it can rely on this sound wave..."Qin Yundui said, "Don't hold on, if you can't bear it, retreat quickly!"
"Look!!" Wang Yuehan said loudly: "Those two people!!"
"Could these two be the legendary Hu Feng people?" Qin Yunwan thought to himself.
The amazement of the sight seemed to be no less than seeing the deep-sea monsters, only to see the two Hu Feng people in the middle of themselves and the sea monster, the two people were surrounded by the branches of trees, wrapping themselves layer by layer, the branches were dark green, swirling around the two Hu Feng people, looking at it from a distance, it seemed that the prey was spit out by the spider layer by layer, and it was also like a big bird's nest.
"It's... Is this manipulating the spiritual power of the trees?"
"That's right," Yu Fei's eyes widened as she looked at the scene in front of her, "they can concretize their spiritual power to this extent, relying on the protection of these layers of branches to resist the attack of this sound wave." ”
"No, if they cast a spell to drive away this sea monster, everything will be in vain!"
Qin Yundui lifted his spear and walked like a fly, flying straight towards the two people hanging in the air in front of him, and the weapon slammed towards the tangled branches!
In an instant, the swirling branch immediately opened, and the two people inside were revealed, only to see that the woman instantly released several wooden thorns the size of an arm, flying towards Qin Yundui, Yun Dui brandished a spear to take this move, but her leg was still cut by one of the wooden thorns.
"Come back quickly!" Seeing that these two really had good spiritual power, Wang Yuehan hurriedly shouted for Yun Du to come back first.
"Split Bone Slash!" Wang Yuehan lifted his heavy sword, jumped up in the air and swung it hard, an arc of light flew towards the enemy, and the Hu Feng man erected a vine barrier again, although he blocked this move, but the two of them were also staggered.
"This wooden thorn..."Yun Dui's expression was difficult, and his leg was just bruised and bleeding, but he suddenly felt a wave of paralysis.
Before he could catch his breath, more than a dozen wooden thorns flew towards the team, and Yin Ning instantly opened a barrier, and the huge spiritual power barrier protected the team, which could be regarded as blocking this wave of attacks, but this crystallized guardian consumed a huge amount of spiritual power, and Xiao Yin Ning was already out of breath after using this move.
Yu Fei hurriedly ran to Qin Yundui's side to cleanse his wounds. "Listen to me," Yin Ning shouted through the protection of this barrier, "these two people, the man's spiritual power comes from the high mountain banyan, and he uses these branches, and the woman's spiritual power comes from 'Seeing Blood and Sealing the Throat', which is a highly poisonous tree, don't be hit by her stinger!" After all, Yin Ning belonged to the Ministry of Communications before, and he had done research and analysis on all kinds of spiritual powers before, and immediately made a judgment.
"What? What about Yun Dui's injury?" Wang Yuehan asked.
"Don't worry, I'm helping him purify!" Yu Fei, who is usually dignified, changed her previous image, and immediately became decisive and neat at a critical moment.
After all, the barrier could only hold on for a while, and it was quickly broken, and the powerful spiritual power aura of the two Hu Feng people rushed to their faces, "No, you can only fight hard!" Wang Yuehan gritted his teeth.
However, the male Hu Feng gradually put away the branches around him and spoke: "We're not here to fight. ”
