Chapter 126: The Ocean of Diamonds
"Then the crew set out for the interior of the island, and although it was not clear exactly where they were going, Hezerak's call would lead them to the right place, like telepathy, we crossed the stream, crossed the mountains, and at the beginning, because some of them were sick or injured, and chose to return to the tribe, but the rest of the people were still moving forward, and at this point, they began to gradually accept Hezerak's call, as if it had been written in their blood, wherever they went, it won't go away......" Douglas's eyes sparkled with expectation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Eventually, the crew came to a cave, which would not be the right word to describe it, but that's all I can say, for I can't think of a better word. It was a triangular cave, or more accurately, an equilateral triangular cave, and it was perfect, and although the crew did not have precise tools to measure it, none of the crew doubted it. ”
"At our feet, a path full of mystical symbols gradually extends into the depths of the cave. At this time, the crew did not enter the cave immediately, they chose to rest at the entrance of the cave, on the one hand, and on the other hand, the crew members were also thinking about the meaning of their coming here. ”
"What exactly is Hezerak? The crew discussed the question, and they asked the listeners, but they did not get a definitive answer, and in the end, the crew negotiated an answer that everyone could accept, that Hezerak was the god of exile, which was of course very ridiculous. ”
"When I woke up the next day, some of the crew members were missing, just suddenly and without warning. The rest of the crew thought they had returned to the tribe in the middle of the night, but ...... This does not make sense, there is no need for these crew members to do this, because many of them have already chosen to return to the tribe, and the remaining crew members are simply not going to stop them. In order to verify this, some of the crew members planned to go back to look for the missing crew members, but they walked for half a day without anyone leaving on the road. ”
Later, the rest of the crew decided to ignore the missing crew members, leaving all but two crew members to guard them, and the rest of the crew entered the cave. The cave was dark, there was not a single light, but the crew brought oil lamps, and as the distance deepened, the crew noticed that the surrounding caves had changed, and the crew saw ......" Douglas said here and stopped, as if waiting for Marshall to ask himself.
Marshall grimaced, at this point he had distanced himself from Douglas, because the long-term aiming position was too much burden on his hands, so he switched to a more relaxed approach, just making sure to shoot Douglas before he got close to him.
Seeing that Marshall had not replied, Douglas was also a little impatient, he twitched the corners of his mouth twice, and continued: "We saw diamonds, countless diamonds, as if the whole cave was made of diamonds. Illuminated by the lights, these diamonds reflect a dazzling array of colours. ”
"All the crew members seemed to be crazy, and they struck the diamond-made rock wall with every tool they could find, and bit it with their teeth if they didn't have any tools. But this is a diamond, the hardest substance in nature, how could it be smashed open by an iron tool, let alone a human tooth. Looking at the endless but unobtainable wealth in front of them, the crew members all hung their heads and seemed to have forgotten their purpose for entering the cave, until one of the crew members mentioned it and moved on. ”
"If you have a diamond knife, you should be able to cut it or burn the protruding part with fire, so that although that part of the diamond will be carbonized, the loss is completely bearable." Marshall remarked, seemingly interested in what Douglas had to say.
Douglas smiled and said, "Father Marshall knows very well, if Father Marshall had been there at the time, maybe what would not have happened in the future." ”
"Go on." Marshall replied with a straight face.
"The crew kept going, I don't know how long, but they weren't hungry, it shouldn't have been too long. Soon, the crew came to the exit, they did not hesitate, they walked out, and then, they saw a sea of diamonds, liquid diamonds below, solid diamonds like ice above liquid diamonds. Douglas was about to speak, but Marshall interrupted.
"You're not dead?" Marshall asked.
"Father Marshall, why do you ask?" Douglas was a little curious.
"Nothing, just keep talking." Marshall waved his hand.
At this time, the Blue Pearl shook violently again, this time more violently than the last time, and both Marshall and Douglas were unsteady on their feet and fell to the ground, but the shaking did not stop, and became more and more violent, and the two began to slide on the floor in the same direction.
"Oops!" Marshall wanted to shoot Douglas to end his life, but physically, he was still just an ordinary person, and there was no way to defy the laws of physics.
Then, the two collided, and Marshall was lucky enough to crash into Douglas.
Douglas, who reacted, immediately wrapped his hands around Marshall's neck, because he had already predicted that the other party would do this, so Marshall blocked his hand at the neck in advance, and after struggling to break away, Marshall hit Douglas in the abdomen with a heavy elbow of his right hand, but Douglas also kicked Marshall.
At this moment, the Blue Pearl suddenly tilted to the other side, and the two of them slid towards the other wall at the same time.
"What the hell is going on? The storm outside doesn't seem to be so big either, could it be other sea creatures like the fish-people? Marshall was puzzled.
In the process of sliding, Marshall kicked Douglas away, and at this time, the gunshots suddenly rang out.
Because the hull rolled so violently that the flintlock trigger was hit by something and fired a bullet.
Marshall put his hands in front of his head, and now he felt that the world was spinning, and he had no idea where the flintlock pistol was or which way the muzzle was facing, and he could only pray that his luck would not be too low.
After a few breaths, Marshall found that there was no obvious excessive pain and loss of consciousness in his body, and finally put his mind at ease, and at the same time he also saw Douglas, who was lucky not to be hit by a stray bullet.
The two looked at each other, and their eyes revealed murderous intent.
At this point, the hull swung again, and the two of them slid towards another wall, only, this time, towards the door of the cargo hold, and there was no wall long enough to prevent them from sliding out of the hold.
