Chapter 202: Strange Sounds on the Floating Island
What is this person thinking in his head, it is obviously a cold weapon he stuffed into me, but he wants me to pay for it if it is broken, I feel very ridiculous, and the Mo family is not short of this money, and even where life cannot be guaranteed, they still have to care about this.
We swam towards Nineteen, Ah Chuan and Eleven could have been faster, but they deliberately slowed down, and after practicing for so long, I still had to drag my feet.
"Found the entrance, down there." Nineteen spoke softly.
"See him?" Ah Chuan asked.
Nineteen shook his head: "No, there are other entrances here, I hope I don't encounter them." ”
Their voices were very soft, as if they were afraid of alarming something, I glanced at Ah Chuan, and vaguely felt that they knew something else, even if there were many entrances, the speed of searching was too fast, the Mo family may not have entered it in these years, but they must have investigated outside.
We followed Nineteen and Brother Shen to swim to the edge of the floating island, even if it floated on the surface of the sea, it was more than ten meters sunk in the water, the seaweed was too dense, and we slipped through it, like a fish.
When they reached the edge and sank into the water, I took a deep breath and followed the green light ahead, which was full of seaweed under the searchlight, and we crossed the edge to the bottom of the floating island, where countless seaweeds fell down, turning the whole island into a giant jellyfish.
The top of our heads was full of concave and convex rocks covered with shellfish, and the arc below was about forty degrees, and we slowly descended against the top of the rocks, and I looked down and could not see the deep water, we were completely covered in seaweed.
This distance is not long, only forty or fifty meters, and the situation under the island is very complicated, and through the shadow of seaweed, I see a huge abrupt rock in front of us on the right.
The rock is so big, at least a hundred meters long, juts out into the sea, it is a part of the floating island, we are so close that we can't see the whole picture, and I can feel that its width is amazing.
We swam along the edge of the rocks, where the dark rocks were covered with seaweed, marine life, and small fish.
The floating island was really moving, it was lurking with the water, and we dived a little bit, and I saw the huge rocks on my side swaying up and down, and the seaweed was dancing wildly, and I was a little dizzy after looking at it for a long time.
Before I knew it, I was at the entrance, and Nineteen stopped, and I saw that in front of me was the place where this huge rock extended, and there was a huge black crack three or four meters wide next to the rock, and the crack was very long, at least dozens of meters from top to bottom, and dense seaweed stretched out of the crack, swaying with the current, as if inviting us to go.
It was dark in the crack, and I followed closely behind Nineteen, as if I was about to swim into a big mouth, and the searchlight could only see a few meters in front of me, and the seaweed slapped on my face with the current, slippery and itchy.
There was seaweed everywhere, and it was even denser inside, and if it weren't for this dim light, I would have lost it, and the water in the cracks was very unstable, and there were huge bubbles everywhere, and I couldn't see anything in the white flowers.
We swam another dozen meters, nineteen began to float, I quickly swung my feet to follow him, there was a lot less seaweed here, I saw a dark hollow overhead, only nineteen's searchlight emitted a blurred light.
It was much more comfortable to swim without the seaweed, and I was running out of oxygen, and soon I heard the sound of water splashing overhead, and I quickly swung my feet up and got out of the water.
I took a few deep breaths, turned off my searchlight, and took out my flashlight, it was an irregular cave, like an old tree in the rainforest with aerial roots exposed, and countless creatures clinging to the rocks of different shapes.
The huge rock that juts out half of the way into the sea is a natural underwater cavern with a variety of shellfish at the junction.
There were several crevices in the rocks that stretched across the cavern, and the gaps were very narrow, almost filled with all kinds of creatures, and I crawled out of the water, and stood on a slippery rock covered with seaweed, and there was a thudding sound under my feet, and I saw many small creatures that I had been alarmed scatter and flee, and many fell into the water.
I held up my flashlight and shone it into one of the gaps, which was deep, narrow but endless, and the space inside seemed to be larger, and when I got close to the gaps, I could feel a gust of wind blowing out, with a sharp whistling sound.
Everyone was out of the water, there was not much space here, but it led in all directions, and I looked up and saw that there were criss-crossing crevices overhead, and our breathing echoed, sounding loud.
My feet were still shaking slightly, not so heavy that I wouldn't fall, the shaking affected my other senses, and I always felt the sound of the wind and a strange regular sound.
I put my ears close to the rocks, and there was indeed a regular "bang" sound, the sound was far, far away, like the sound of the sea constantly beating the bottom of the floating island, but it was too far away, and the terrain here was complicated, so the sound was worn out a lot, and it should be a very loud sound.
"Did you hear anything?" I asked softly.
"No matter what the sound is, if it doesn't affect us, we don't have to care." Nineteen spoke.
I've been looking at Brother Shen, his hearing is so keen, I thought he would speak, but he didn't.
"Where to go?" I was a little disappointed.
Nineteen shook his head, it seemed that Ah Qing did not prompt, the flies could not enter the water, they must have invaded from the outside of the floating island, everything here was very wet, and there were streams of water flowing down the rocks, but I was afraid that it would be difficult for the flies to surround the whole island.
I'm still thinking simple.
Nineteen was jumping around on the slippery rocks, his body was lithe, and he looked like he had chosen a random gap: "Let's go here." ”
No one objected, and Brother Shen couldn't feel the jade, we can only waste time standing here, it's better to go and explore first, and if it's a dead end, it's okay to turn back.
Nineteen squeezed into the dense shells with his body sideways, the shells here were completely different from those white and clean on the seaside, they were real sea creatures, the shells were very dirty, covered with fine seaweed and sand silkworms, these terrifying insects would not bite people, nor were they afraid of people, and when they felt the sound, they adhered to the shells more tightly, and the clumps made people's scalps numb.
Fortunately, we were dressed thickly, and it was acceptable to touch it with gloves, we squeezed around against the sharp rock edges and corners, and within a few meters we were covered in muddy water, and no matter how good the quality of the clothes were, we couldn't withstand such a toss, but I was afraid that before I saw the shadow of the jade, the clothes would be drawn into beggars.
The clothes of the Mo family are all specially made, and they are stronger than I imagined, and I took a closer look, but I couldn't tell what the material was.
It's too uncomfortable to squeeze around like this, but I don't have the heart to complain, I know that there are many unknown dangers ahead, no matter how difficult the road is, it is safe, and the real test is still to come.
The floating island has been swaying up and down, the amplitude is not large, but people will unconsciously follow its rhythm, I am like a rocking boat that has been sitting all day, even if I just stand quietly, I will feel that my body is floating and sinking, my brain is dizzy, I seem to be still in the water, the whole body is light and fluttering.
And that weird sound, it seems to be a little louder than outside, but it's very unreal, "bang" like a drum beat, exactly the same frequency as the floating island shaking, I can't act at my own pace, I will always be disturbed by this frequency, no matter what action I do, I will unconsciously approach this frequency, after a long time, it seems that even the heartbeat coincides with it.
This feeling is very awkward, my biological clock is disrupted, I can't time it accurately, because I always subconsciously take this frequency as a second, I don't know if Ah Chuan has been disturbed, the sense of time is chaotic is a terrible thing.
I was a little stuffy, the air was too humid, and it smelled of salt, and my nose and mouth were as salty as if they were filled with seawater, and every breath I took would quickly dry the salt in the air, sticking to my nasal cavity, and it was uncomfortable.
We squeezed for a while against the crevices in the rock, and there was a fork in the road ahead of us, the same narrow gaps, the same covered with shellfish, and it was pitch black with no end in sight.
"This way." Nineteen chose the one on the left.
"Is it the path that A-Qing pointed out?" I asked.
Nineteen shook his head, I was a little surprised, and took out the short sword: "Then make a mark, in case there is a dead end ahead." ”
"No, it's useless to make a mark here." Brother Shen suddenly spoke, and took the lead into the gap.
I didn't know what to say with my mouth half open, but he really knew something, was the path of the nineteenth election correct?
I kept my mouth shut, wanting to ask but not daring to ask, just following them mechanically, the gap gradually widening, and gradually I no longer had to move sideways, and I just dodged in some rocky protrusions.
I held up my flashlight and looked overhead, and it seemed to be a hollow, the roof of the cave was very high, and it was black and full of shadows of huge rocks, and the crack in the rock we walked through was only four or five meters high, and it might be better to climb up.
But I didn't dare to bring it up, no one knew what would happen up to it, and there was dense seaweed hanging down from the top of the stone crevice, and it might be slippery on top.
I just need to be honestly sandwiched between them, in such a narrow place, even if there is danger, it will not be my turn to do it, not to mention that we have already walked dozens of meters in a zigzag, and we have not encountered anything abnormal.
Legends are legends, how can there be so many terrifying things, even if this is really the mausoleum of the Hades, it is also a mausoleum, how powerful can the gods who have died.
I consoled myself that most of the time I was scared by imagination, and now that I came in, it was like that.
I saw a lot of ugly and strange creatures in the crevices of the rocks, among which was a huge worm, and I was startled, but it seemed to be more afraid of me, and it shrank into the crevices of the rocks at the flash of a flashlight.
