Wang Lei smiled: "Of course I am relieved of you, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't dare to come to such a place." ”

He has been on several scientific expeditions, protected by Sun Tao, and has experienced life and death, and he is convinced of the ability of Sun Tao and others.

Xiao Ling listened to their conversation, while looking into the distance, the sea in the distance, it was dark, the black mountains above, there was no top in sight, it was also dark and heavy, the sky was as black as ink, this world was by no means normal, the only thing that made him a little relieved was that he did not find the miserable white hand for the time being.

Pang Yan on the other side pestered Hu Shengzhe to ask about mythological stories.

"Professor Hu, you haven't said why the other two sacred mountains have drifted to the North Pole and sunk, why are the remaining three sacred mountains fine?"

Hu Shengzhe smiled: "This is because these five sacred mountains have no roots, they are floating on the ocean, and when they encounter wind and waves, they will drift uncertainly. It is said that the Heavenly Emperor knew about this and was worried that these sacred mountains would drift to the edge of the sky, causing the inhabitants of the sacred mountains to lose their dwellings. He sent Yu, the god of the North Sea, to drive the five-headed giant turtle to carry the five sacred mountains on his back, so as to stabilize the sacred mountain. ”

"Legend has it that these five-headed sacred turtles are as big as mountains, with a turtle-like body, but with a fish-like head and bird-like wings, carrying five sacred mountains all year round......"

As soon as Hu Shengzhe said this, Wang Lei suddenly said: "Wait! ”

Hu Shengzhe was interrupted by him, a little displeased, and said, "Lao Wang, what are you talking about?" ”

Wang Lei said: "You said that the five giant turtles in this legend, although they are turtles, have fish heads and bird wings? ”

Hu Shengzhe nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

Wang Lei muttered, "Have you forgotten the unknown monster that attacked the 'Discovery' just now? I have thought about all kinds of ancient books of the ancient pre-Qin, and there is no record of it, I don't know what kind of ancient alien species this is, but you, the legendary giant turtle, now sound a bit like it. ”

Hu Shengzhe was also stunned when he heard him say this.

Wang Lei looked at Sun Tao and said, "What kind of monster is the monster that attacked the 'Exploration', which of you can see it best?" ”

Sun Tao muttered: "The head looks like a huge octopus, and there are a large number of tentacles underneath, and it was climbing outside the boat at that time, and its body could not be fully seen, only that there was a pair of huge wings behind it, and when it was unfolded, it looked like bat wings." ”

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, Sun Tao described it almost as he saw, so he didn't add anything.

Wang Lei said: "Everyone, let's compare this monster with the legendary giant turtle that we just talked about, fish head and bird wings, can we understand it as an octopus head and bat wings?" I wonder this monster is the legendary giant turtle just now. ”

Hu Shengzhe laughed: "What I'm talking about is just myths and legends, how can I take it seriously?" There is really a giant turtle carrying a sacred mountain in this world. ”

Wang Lei's face was solemn, and he said: "In myths and legends, there are three sacred mountains left in the ruins, and now we have really found three black mountains, how can this be explained?" ”

Hu Shengzhe was dumbfounded.

Wang Lei and Hu Shengzhe's argument attracted the attention of the others, and they all looked at them.

Xiao Ling said: "This makes sense, myths and legends sometimes evolve based on certain facts, maybe there are exaggerated elements, but there may be prototypes, there are three black mountains here, and the mythology renders them as sacred mountains, so if the ancients found this kind of monster and depicted it as a giant turtle, it is not impossible." ”

Hu Shengzhe's face changed a little and said: "If this is true, then the situation is not good." ”

Wang Lei knocked on his pipe and said, "Why do you say that?" ”

Hu Shengzhe said: "According to legend, after these five sacred mountains were stabilized, the giants of Longbo Kingdom moved stupidly and invaded the ruins. There is a record in the ancient book "Hetu Jade Edition", which says that this 'Longbo people were thirty zhang long, and died at the age of eighteen thousand'. The giant of the Longbo Kingdom stepped to the edge of the sacred mountain with a few steps, put down the fishing hook, and fished away two divine crows at once. When the Emperor of Heaven learned of this, he was furious, and he drove the country to a dangerous place, and greatly shortened the huge body of the people of the country. But even so, in the era of Fuxi and Shennong, the torsos of the Longbo people were still several zhang high. ”

"The two gods that were fished away were also put back into the ruins, but unfortunately they were a step late, and the two of the five sacred mountains, 'Dai Yu' and 'Yuanqiao', because they lost their bonds, have drifted to the North Pole and sunk into the ocean, and in the end only three sacred mountains remained, and the two gods were left in the ruins, although there were no mountains to carry, but they were still left in the ruins, so as to rotate other gods in the future."

When everyone heard this, they finally understood why Hu Shengzhe said that the situation was a little bad.

Yu Tingting said: "Professor Hu, do you mean that if the monster that crashed the 'Discovery' just now is really the legendary Divine Ao, it is one of the two Divine Ao released later?" So there should be two such monsters in this sea, and now that one is dead, there should be one left. ”

Hu Shengzhe nodded, his face a little ugly.

Everyone looked at each other.

"But after all, this is just ancient myths and legends, ethereal, not necessarily much truth, we don't need to be too nervous, if there is really another such monster, want to kill us, it should have appeared a long time ago, but we took a lifeboat all the way to Montenegro, and we didn't see it appear, maybe this sea area, just one such monster." Hu Shengzhe comforted everyone with his words, and he also comforted himself.

Yu Tingting said suddenly: "Maybe it went to chase another lifeboat first, so it hasn't been able to catch up with us." ”

As soon as Yu Tingting's words came out, several people changed their faces, Li Zhibao coughed lightly, and said, "Less, don't talk nonsense." ”

Yu Tingting knew that it was wrong as soon as she spoke, so she couldn't help but stick out her tongue at him, not daring to say more.

It's just that after she said this, the atmosphere became depressed.

"Let's go, it's time to go, climb this black mountain and have a look, I hope to find something." Zhou Kesheng, who had been listening quietly, finally spoke, breaking this oppressive silence.

This time, the forces behind Zhou Kesheng reorganized the scientific expedition team and gave full support, attaching great importance to this scientific expedition about returning to the ruins, and even thought that it might be directly related to the truth of some events.

Now that the "Exploration" has been destroyed, although Captain Cao Zhiren and others left in a lifeboat to look for rescue, no one knows what the situation is, this sea area, many places are very abnormal, whether Cao Zhiren and his entourage can leave safely, everyone has no bottom in their hearts, they can't sit back and wait for rescue, they all hope to find something.

Everyone followed this piece of black boulder and went up towards the Black Mountain, and after climbing up for about thirty or forty meters, there was a sudden "boom" sound from behind.
