Chapter 14: The Three Sacred Mountains
After a while, Wang Lei finally shook his head, with a depressed look, knocked on his forehead, and said: "I can't think of it, I have thought about all kinds of records in ancient books, and there is no such creature that meets the requirements, with an octopus head, bat wings, and a body full of tentacles, which is even bigger than a blue whale...... It's unimaginable. ”
Everyone showed a look of disappointment, even Wang Lei didn't know, it seems that there is no record of this unknown creature in the ancient books, this should be a mysterious species that the ancients have not discovered, but they don't want to exist in this ruins, and suddenly attack the "Exploration", not only killed a lot of people, but also destroyed the sea ship, if it wasn't for the bazooka prepared by everyone in advance, if they wanted to kill it, they were afraid that they would have to pay a more painful price.
The Black Mountain that appeared on the sea did not seem to be far away, but after everyone sailed to the Black Mountain in a lifeboat, they found that this Black Mountain was far farther away from them than they thought.
Sun Tao and other team members all held guns in their hands, guarding around the lifeboat, full of vigilance, in case something terrible happened in the sea.
Fortunately, the rest of the road was safe, the sea was calm, everyone was not attacked again, and after two hours, everyone finally arrived at the first black mountain closest to everyone.
Zhou Kesheng took out his pocket watch, looked at the time, then looked up at the sky again, and whispered to himself: "This sky is a little strange." ”
The sky is dark and heavy like a pot lid, shrouding this sea area, and there is no light in sight, now look at the time, it is close to the morning, and the sky should gradually brighten, but there is no light in the sky, which makes Zhou Kesheng feel that something is wrong.
From the moment I entered the ruins, everything became very wrong.
The lifeboat slowly approached the Black Mountain and stopped on the shore, facing a large mass of black rock, and the waves were gently lapping against the black rock.
When the first few team members with guns got off the lifeboat, boarded the black rock, looked around, and after making sure that there was no danger, everyone went ashore one after another.
Finally the crew went ashore and secured the lifeboat, which they would need to use to leave the sea on their way back if the rescue boat did not arrive.
Thirty-three people climbed the Black Rock, several team members held searchlights in their hands, and swept in all directions, the sky was dark and unbright, and the surroundings were gloomy, and the lighting equipment became very important.
Fortunately, this time the preparations were sufficient, and when he left, Sun Tao specially instructed everyone to pack the materials into large backpacks and take them away as much as possible.
Now there are thirty-three people, except for Li Zhibao and Zhou Kesheng because of their age, the others have allocated some supplies, put their backpacks on their backs, and carry them with them.
"Everyone cheers up, can't be careless." Seeing that the surroundings of this black mountain were dark and silent, and the rock mass was blackened and looked strange, Sun Tao did not dare to be careless, and reminded his subordinates to be vigilant.
In addition to Sun Tao, there were 22 team members, all of whom were carrying grenades, explosives and sabers, and were armed with submachine guns or rifles, all armed, and did not dare to be careless.
Xiao Ling and Zhou Kesheng and other nine members of the scientific expedition team were protected in the middle, although Xiao Ling is not proficient in firearms, he still carries a saber with him, with his current experience and physical strength, he has a saber in his hand, enough to fight and kill fierce beasts, among the crowd, with bare hands, no one is his opponent.
"Old Zhou, we don't have much information now, and what we can be sure of now is that this sea area should be the place called Guiru in ancient times."
Everyone boarded the black rock on the shore, looking at the huge rocks all around, Sun Tao and others were distributed around, looking up at the dark mountain in front of them, and did not rush up, but stopped in place, the old professor Li Zhibao frowned slightly, and said to Zhou Kesheng beside him.
Zhou Kesheng nodded and said: "According to the map, this sea area does not exist in the place recorded in modern navigation charts, but it is difficult to say whether it is the legendary ruins." ”
Xiao Ling on the side said, "Old Zhou, what do you mean by this?" ”
Zhou Kesheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "According to ancient records, Guiru is a big gully in the deep sea, that is, a bottomless valley, but what kind of big valley this big valley is, but no one knows, in the end, this sea area is the legendary Guiru, or the real Guiru is hidden somewhere in this sea area that does not exist on the map, these two possibilities are completely different." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Ling nodded thoughtfully.
Wang Lei took out the black pipe from his body and said casually: "I agree with the second point of view. ”
Hu Shengzhe said: "Yes, according to the legend, there are five sacred mountains floating on the side of the ruins, and the black mountain we are climbing on now may be one of the legendary sacred mountains. ”
Li Zhibao groaned slightly, and said: "Which possibility is now makes little difference to us, if this sea area is the legendary Guiru, then we need to look for clues here, if the real Guiru is hidden elsewhere, then we must also find the real location of Guiru." In short, we don't have many clues, so we can only go up and take a look at it first, hoping to find something. ”
Hu Shengzhe snorted and said: "There are three black mountains in this sea area, which are consistent with the legend, and they are indeed worth exploring, what do you think?" ”
Pang Yan said curiously: "Professor Hu, isn't there a legend that there are five sacred mountains on the side of the ruins?" Why do these three Black Hills match the legend? ”
Hu Shengzhe smiled and said: "The legend about Guiru was interrupted after only half of the legend was said, and half of it was not said, there were indeed five sacred mountains originally, and then two sacred mountains drifted to the North Pole and sank into the ocean, and there were only three sacred mountains left in Guiru, which happened to be consistent with these three black mountains, so the legends of the ancients were not imagined out of thin air, and some of them may be in line with historical facts." ”
Pang Yan nodded and said: "I see, this myth and legend is quite interesting, then it seems that the three black mountains we see are the remaining three sacred mountains in the legend, and now we are climbing the mythical and legendary sacred mountains, which are not the sacred mountains, and are there immortals living on them." ”
Wang Lei glanced at her and said: "Myths are inevitably exaggerated, don't expect this black mountain to be really a god mountain, let alone think about whether there will be immortals, I just hope that there is no danger is the blessing of the Bodhisattva. ”
When everyone heard Wang Lei say this, they all showed a solemn and vigilant look.
Sun Tao said in a deep voice: "Professor Wang, don't worry, with our brother here, we will definitely ensure that everyone is safe." ”
