Chapter 182: Three-Eyed Crystal Skull

The endless sea, the sea lives up to its name. At least as far as the Confederacy and the Empire are currently exploring, the ocean is boundless.

Compared with the exploration and expansion of land, human exploration of the oceans of the starting continent is very limited. Because the effort to explore the ocean is not directly proportional to the gain. Humans have suffered heavy losses time and time again, as powerful marine creatures. In addition, humans are not dependent on the ocean for survival. As a result, after a century of human existence on the Origin Continent, the progress of ocean exploration is still close to zero.

At this time, for Xi Ze and them, if they want to bypass the "gunpowder areas on both sides", the safest way is to bypass the endless sea. Of course, the so-called "safest" does not mean that there is no danger at all, but compared to being bombarded by the artillery of the Empire and the Confederacy, the risk of circumnavigating the Endless Sea is undoubtedly much smaller.

Of course, you can also go north. It's just that if you go north, you have to fly straight to the far north end of the imperial frontier, which is equivalent to bypassing the entire "gunpowder zone". Not to mention whether the energy of the "Young Dragon" can support a flight dozens of times the original distance, even if it bypasses the "gunpowder area", it will enter the Confederate British District, which is still far from the Confederate Chinese District. The original journey of more than 20 days will be at least multiplied several times.

The biggest problem with walking the endless sea is getting lost. "Pangu Star Field" is not comparable to the earth, and can also rely on the sun, stars and the like as a direction reference. Moreover, the Endless Sea belongs to the "fog zone" where there is no signal, and there is no way to locate it. Once you lose your way, you may never reach the Confederacy. However, when Xi Ze raised this concern, Deng Sinuo patted his chest and said, "Underestimate me, don't you?" If this problem is not solved, am I embarrassed to let you go through the endless sea? I've got a secret weapon! ”

The so-called "secret weapon" is a round cake-shaped object. Looks like a compass. But certainly not a compass. The magnetic field of the "Pangu Star Field" is very chaotic, and the real compass will turn wildly. Deng Sinuo himself came up with this "direction radar" with much higher technical content than a compass, and can always point in one direction. Xi asked him how he did it. You know, if this direction radar can be used in the military, it is of great value. In this direction of radar, Deng Sinuo is ahead of the Academy of Sciences and military science and technology! It's a pity that Deng Sinuo smiled mysteriously: "Keep it secret!" ”

Now that the biggest problems are solved, there's no need to hesitate. At top speed, the Drake passed directly through the Imperial defenses on the shores of the Endless Sea, plunging headlong into the endless sea. Imperial armies have also fortified their defenses on the shores of the Endless Sea. But it's used to protect against the fierce sea creatures. When the "Young Dragon" passed through the defensive line, it was naturally "greeted". Thanks to the strong stealth ability and speed of this prince's exclusive car, it passed through with a "whoosh". Those shells that "greeted" it exploded behind its ass.

The sky is high and the birds fly. The sea is wide for fish to swim. This is probably the state of the "Young Dragon" that rushed into the Endless Sea. Because this is a "fog zone", the risk of setting up automatic driving is too high, so Xi Xue and Deng Sinuo take turns driving. Time passes in non-stop flights. It is said that the sky is unpredictable, and on the fourth day when the "Young Dragon" rushed into the endless sea, a huge thunderstorm came. The "Young Dragon" was accidentally hit by a pillar of thunder and almost fell into the churning sea. Fortunately, the "Young Dragon" has a high technical content and excellent quality, and the standby unit was started immediately after the crash.

Later, because the weather was too bad, Xi and his gang had to stop on a desert island. As luck would have it, he found a trap on a desert island and drove the "Young Dragon" into it. While repairing the main unit of the "Young Dragon" that was damaged by lightning, they waited for the thunderstorm to pass. And this wait was more than a week.

During this period, Xi Xue and the others also encountered the red-eyed Saga fishman in the cave! The red-eyed Sagas are different from the blue-eyed Sagas in that they have sharp teeth, are naturally carnivorous, and have a very violent and vicious temperament. Their attack is single but powerful, and they can shoot water ice arrows from their mouths. These water arrows are mixed with special substances in their bodies, and when they are sprayed, they will freeze into ice, pierce and kill the prey, and then shoot their tongues to tear the prey over and bite it.

Deng Sinuo has an adventurous spirit (in his own words), he discovers some ancient murals in the cave, explores all the way deeper, and almost becomes the luncheon meat of the red-eyed Sagas fishman. After suffering a loss, he didn't learn a lesson, and pulled Xi Xue into the cave together. Now it seems that the red-eyed Saga fishman's nest has been kicked. Fortunately, Anheard followed all the way, otherwise Xi Xue and Deng Sinuo would have to tie the water ice arrow into honeycomb coal.

almost hung up, and the annoyed Xi Zhi didn't do anything, and it took two days of hard work to bring out the tribe of the red-eyed Saga fishmen who inhabited the depths of the cave, and there was not one in ten Saga fishmen who were killed. Deng Sinuo sighed: "It's a pity that the red-eyed Saga fishman's eyeballs are not valuable, otherwise we would have sent them." "However, this cave expedition was not without its gains, such as the discovery of a red crystal skull in the den of the patriarch (presumably the chief) of the Saga Fish-Man tribe.

Crystal skulls?

Xi Ze remembers that there are also discoveries and legends about crystal skulls on Earth, and there are many film and television games with this theme. Some say it's a handicraft of an ancient civilization, and some say it's an alien skull, but what the hell it is, I didn't understand it until the earthlings left the earth. But he didn't expect to find a red crystal skull in a deserted island cave in this alien star field, in the endless ocean.

This is the second time that Xi Xue has seen something connected to the earth after the "Elven Cross".

Is it a coincidence? Or is there something else that is mysterious?

What is particularly special is that this red crystal skull has two large holes in the eyes, and there is also a hole in the forehead that is the same size as the eye hole. Deng Sinuo immediately put forward the hypothesis of the "three-eyed man", shouting "Great discovery!" What a big discovery! I think I can make a big news. "Obviously the interest was high.

However, Xi Xue used his spiritual power tentacles to probe, and this crystal skull didn't have any special feedback, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Deng Sinuo was not interested, so he happily kicked into his pocket, saying that he would study it well, "Maybe I can really use it as a clue to find the legendary [Lost Civilization]!" What the? What [Lost Civilization]? Haha, don't worry about it, it's my own unfolding setting. Don't you think the words "Lost Civilization" are very emotional? Brother's thirst for knowledge is already burning! ”

Xi Xue was speechless. However, this cave exploration brought some memorable twists and turns to their boring journey.

On the eighth day of sheltering from the rain on a desert island, the thunderstorm finally stopped. The main unit of the "Young Dragon" damaged by lightning was also repaired by Deng Sinuo, a proud self-proclaimed "all-round technical nerd". Before taking off and leaving, Xi Xue teased the three ninja Lori again. Originally, Xi Xue planned to leave them on the border of the empire at the beginning. But then I forgot about them all by negligence, and when I flew through the endless sea, I remembered that there were still three ninja Lori locked in the storage room.

In this regard, Deng Sinuo despised Xi Xue, "Anyway, you don't want to fill your Crystal Palace with these three little ones, right?" Triplets! Tut-tut! Xi was speechless for a while. Could it really be that he subconsciously didn't want to leave these three ninja Lori, so he ignored them? Xi Ze shook his head violently, how could it be? Am I such a person?

Now, he began to scare the three ninja Lori again, threatening to scare: "If you don't answer my question obediently, I'll leave the three of you on this desert island, and then you will have to spend the rest of your life here." Oh no, you can't leave the three of you on the same desert island. In this way, I drop one here and another on the next desert island. Let you be the female version of Robinson. ”

At this moment, the three ninja Lori were really scared. The three of them had already frightened them by throwing a desert island, but they didn't expect him to be even more vicious and want to throw the three of them to three different islands. This is lonely overseas, a desert island in the sea, so that every day should not be called the earth and the earth, lonely and alone, how miserable it is.

If Xi Xue tortured them to extract confessions, the three little ones who had received the most professional and formal ninja training would not be afraid of him, and they wouldn't even want to pry their mouths open if they killed them, but Xi Xue actually made such a move, and when they thought that they were going to live alone on a desert island, they were really afraid. The most stubborn and stubborn eldest sister threatened to commit suicide, but the two younger sisters didn't have the guts. And Xi Xue also said that he wanted to take away their weapons, how could he commit suicide without weapons? Jumping into the sea and drowning? Or hit the stones? It was painful!

In the end, the fourth sister who was the least courageous finally gave in, and then the third child also begged for mercy with teary eyes, and the boss "hummed" and said nothing. However, Xi Xue and Deng Sinuo looked at each other: I'll go, there is still a second child in the relationship? It's not triplets, it's quadruplets! Cloned, right? If it's really raw, then this probability can go to buy lottery tickets.

After that, the "Young Dragon" took off again, turning into a golden thread and disappearing at the end of the clear sky, just like the ultra-long journey home on this journey.

Unbeknownst to them at this time, after they left, a head emerged from the turquoise water, a pair of reddish eyes locked on the direction in which the "Young Dragon" had disappeared, and then let out a piercing, hateful scream.

The sea within a radius of 100 meters was covered with dense water needles. One fish after another came to the surface from the bottom of the sea, their bellies turned upside down, and the dead seven orifices bled out.

Then the head jumped up, plunged headfirst into the water, and the red tail of the lower body slapped the surface of the water heavily, and the whole body dived into the water, and turned into a red light under the surface of the sea, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

At this time, driven by Deng Sinuo, Xi Xue began to interview the three little ones, in order to ensure the accuracy of the intelligence and prevent the three of them from colluding, Xi Xue asked one by one, and after a series of questions, he really got a lot of valuable information, which made him have a deeper understanding of the situation and contradictions within the Han Empire.

With this information in hand, it is actually easy to provoke a large-scale conflict within the Han Empire, but this is obviously not what Xi Xue wants to do, so he wondered, can he use this information from another way of thinking?
