Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Crystal Bell
The same dry kernel is found every time.
"That's right! There must be another 'hole in the sky' below! Shu Kang preliminarily judged that his guess was correct, there must be another world below, and now the waters below are just a transitional state sandwiched between these solid worlds.
"Now, I've decided to go down and investigate for myself, and you two stay on board." Shu Kang gave the two apprentices a new task: to stay behind, and he quickly drew a set of diving suits, oxygen inhalation, and lighting equipment, set a maximum time limit, and then jumped into the black water by himself.
Shu Kang felt that the buoyancy of the water was not quite right, and from the moment he got out of the water, he felt that the power in it was not only the attraction from the center of the earth, but also seemed to have other forces, which worked together to make the speed of the dive very slow and laborious.
The water is very turbid, and to the touch, it is a little slippery and greasy, and it seems that the density is smaller than that of ordinary water, and it is lighter than oil.
Shukang got his head down and his feet, diving hard, exploring the water more than 100 meters deep.
When her headlamp shines, you can see that there is a huge rock mass in front of her, like a giant mountain at the bottom of the sea, but it is not a shipwreck.
This underwater mountain, if placed on land, can be regarded as a steep mountain, like a knife-like fish-ridge-like mountain beam, straight into the bottom of the water, unfathomable.
Along this ridge, Shukan went all the way down, and there was some light faintly shining underneath.
"Looks like there's something down there."
Shu Kang was a little excited, continued to dive, continued to dive...... Although the water cut off by the ridge created a surge in both directions, she managed to control her position and not be swept away by the two divergent currents.
Finally, at the bottom, there is a zigzag rock cliff with glossy edges, like the bottom of a Buddha's skirt, blooming in a fancy way, revealing a large new space entrance at the bottom.
The skirt that slipped here, just one step ahead of the light belt, Shu Kang stood upside down and grabbed the light edge, stretched his head down, like the bottom of a large bell jar, there were many dazzling lights in it, and when the water waves transmitted, it was even more dynamic and ethereal, and it was impossible to see what the light source was for a while.
There was nothing but the light, except for a few tiny flocculent floats that swam around in this dangling light.
Shu Kang observed for a long time, and found no danger, so he turned his whole body over, and now what appeared in front of him was a large crystal world! In stark contrast to the darkness just now, it was like entering the inside of a crystal mine.
These beautiful lights come from the various reflections and refractions of these glittering crystals.
It's so big inside! If we imagine the new world we are entering now as a large bell, then the entrance to this bell must be at least 1 square kilometer in size.
Shu Kang saw that in addition to the microorganisms that were first seen, a large number of jellyfish were also floating around on it, forming a large "jellyfish array".
These beautiful creatures, though they are incredibly pretty, can kill them on the spot with a little bit of venom from their long tentacles——— although this is a very happy way to die, but Shu Kang is still young and does not want to try so early.
Be careful!
Shu Kang took a closer look, and these jellyfish were only set up in formation, quietly floating "waiting for the rabbit", so if you look carefully, you can still find a safe passage.
Yes! These jellyfish are distributed regularly, they are distributed in zigzag layers, and there is not a jellyfish in the sharp angle crystal stone wall corresponding to the ridge just down on the left. The space occupied by this diagonal column, which resembles an equilateral triangle, can be used as a natural passage for the book to swim upwards inward.
"That's it!" Shukang cautiously slid towards this "safe passage", swinging his two flippers and his body rising rapidly.
The "jellyfish layer" is only about 30 meters thick, and Shu Kang saw the distribution of another layer of animals.
To be exact, can this layer be considered an animal? They should be regarded as close relatives of polyps, and a large-scale "rainbow nest" infrastructure has been launched here: one after another round cavity and round holes, the space here is divided into one small single room after another, each of which is particularly beautiful, the building materials are colorful, but the residents are unpretentious, just a kind of white little bug, twisting the fat "Michelin" body, constantly busy eating, spitting! The neck is twisted around, used as a mouth, and also used as a hand, and the world here is designed to be extremely beautiful and full of childlike fun.
There are some colorful little fish, in and out of it, as if these bugs are just builders, and it is these beautiful little fish who enjoy them.
Shu Kang felt that these fish should be tropical fish, because the temperature here seems to have risen a little, compared to the temperature of jumping into the water just now, the water temperature here has risen a lot, but it is still within the tolerable range.
To be honest, Shu Kang likes water bodies with a higher water temperature, and it should even be said that he is very enjoyable, with the feeling of taking a bath, and the closer to the human body temperature, the more sleepy he becomes, and there is a feeling of wanting to sleep.
But it's okay now, it's far from that level, it's just much more comfortable than just jumping into the water and crossing the "jellyfish layer" and feeling the temperature.
These little insects are really excellent architects, and the small dome nest built by them is cuter than the other, whether it is the matching of colors or the change of shape, there is a cute feeling, like a human kindergarten.
As we go up, the temperature of the water increases again.
This "round house layer" is also about 30 to 50 meters thick, and you will reach the next "bubble layer" full of bubbles: there seem to be countless bubble generators here, which are constantly producing bubbles and rising upwards, and the production of these bubbles is precisely the parasitic microorganisms on the "round house layer" just now.
Chasing bubbles and popping a few curiously, Shu Kang feels like he has come to a fairy tale world and has a lot of fun.
These bubbles, large and small, rise upwards one after another, shattering the field of vision.
Continuing to rise, the kind of "glue layer" similar to the gelatinous matter obtained by sampling appeared, this strange substance, I can't tell whether it is mud, or what silica gel, it seems that the tissue structure is similar to the delicate combination of nanometers, and it is raised by the bubbles rising below, converging and inflating into one "big balloon" after another, depending on each other, with the amount of inflation, continuous inflation, expansion, rupture, merger, and then inflating, expanding and rupturing to a greater extent, merging into a "big big ...... Balloons".
The surroundings were filled with the sound of "bang, bang, bang......
