Chapter 0395: Descendants

After entering this industry, one of my deepest realizations is that the unknown is always the most terrifying!

Because I don't know anything, I will be afraid and afraid!

Sometimes, tearing open that veil of mystery at once, it will be much better, of course, some overly hideous evil ghosts and walking corpses are not counted, the kind of overly hideous faces will only be more frightening after seeing it, but it will not scare people to death!

Man will not be scared to death by external objects, only he can scare people to death.

Unknown things often make people scare themselves to death, because for unknown things, human beings will always subconsciously imagine it to be very scary, which is instinctive.

We were in a terrible situation, and we had to figure out what the thing was peeping at us, so I drew my sword and chased after it without the slightest hesitation, running at a speed that was not unstoppable, and in a blink of an eye I rushed out of the tunnel.

Outside the tunnel, there is an underground world, and there are soil layers above and below, about ten meters high, which are clearly carved out in the soil layer of the seabed, because the soil layer above the head is very wet, and it is obvious that the sea water has penetrated down.

It can withstand the pressure of seawater without collapsing......

It looks like we've at least a kilometer below the bottom of the sea!!

In this underground world, there are some dilapidated ruins everywhere, the architectural form is different from any country and nation of contemporary human civilization, it is very likely that this was the city of Atlantis before, buried in the mud and sand at the bottom of the sea, but I don't know who dug it out, and finally formed such a mezzanine world!

It's dark here, and there's no light.

I swept my flashlight back and forth, finally catching the thing peeping at us, and when I got a full view of it, I was a little dumbfounded.

Merman?

That's right, it seems to be a human mermaid!

Its lower body is a fishtail, the upper part itself is humanoid, the overall height is about one meter five, and there are black scales all over the body.

And this thing is obviously intelligent, because it actually holds a short spear in its hand, which seems to be bone, which means that this thing can be basically made, which is not something that intelligent creatures can do?

Although its lower body is a fishtail, it still moves very quickly in this underground world, and the fishtail is patted on the ground, and it can jump far away with a "whoosh"!

This monster must be caught!

This was the only thought in my mind, and I was about to chase after it at the moment, but I didn't expect that at this time, the monster suddenly turned its head and threw the bone spear in its hand at me from a distance of hundreds of meters!

Its arm strength is quite amazing, the bone spear threw out, and there was a very amazing sound of breaking the air at that time, only to hear the sound of "倀", the bone spear actually jumped straight and straight over a distance of 100 meters and stabbed towards me accurately, but it scared me a lot, and it was hard to dodge it when I rolled on the spot.

At this time, the monster had already turned around and started running again, and suddenly jumped on an ancient ruin, and it looked like it was about to drill into it, but at this moment, a gunshot sounded in the underground world without warning, and the monster fell from the ruins in response.

I turned my head to see that Rosa had chased after me for some time, holding a smoking Browning pistol in her hand, and it was obvious that she had shot the monster just now.

"It's a living thing."

Rosa said lightly, and then beckoned to me: "Let's go, let's go over and take a look at this rare thing." ”

In fact, I didn't need to say it, I was also curious, so I quickly got up from the ground and followed.

It looked like it had really been shot by Rosa, and when we passed, it was lying straight on the ground, red blood was flowing all over the ground, and I touched the blood that flowed out, and it was cold, indicating that this monster should be a cold-blooded animal.

In fact, it's no wonder that the temperature of the underwater world is actually very low, and it is difficult for blood-hot creatures to survive in this place, since this monster is a creature that survives under the sea, it is quite normal for a cold-blooded creature like a snake.

Rosa turned her head to look at me and asked, "Can you see anything?"

I shook my head and said with a wry smile: "Are you really an encyclopedia for our old Ge family?" Know astronomy and geography? ”

"You don't know, but I remember it!"

Rosa said lightly: "This thing is very likely to be the legendary descendant of Atlantis!" ”

"Descendants? Come and hear it! ”

The fat man was interested at that time, and said happily on the side: "Didn't this Atlantis sink to the bottom of the sea at that time?" How can there be descendants left, this is the bottom of the sea, people are not drowned and crushed to death by the water! ”

"You don't know it, humans are the most adaptable creatures in the world, because we are good at evolving to adapt to the world and survive! If you think about our race, isn't this just to adapt to the change in skin color that occurs in the environment? Change is common, unchanged is dead, it is precisely because we are fickle and good at evolution, so we have not been eliminated! ”

Rosa sighed softly and said, "I said that this is very likely to be an Atlantean and not without purpose, I don't know if you know what happened before!" This happened in the sixties of the last century, in 1962, a probe ship carrying scientists and military experts captured a child off the coast of Cuba who could speak, this child had scaly skin, gills, a head like a man, and a tail like a fish, exactly like the legendary mermaid! He spoke in ancient Greek, and it took a long time for the expert to decipher his language before he finally knew what he was talking about - he said that he was from Atlantis, and that in the time of Athens, Atlantis sank to the bottom of the sea, but because of the protection of holy relics, the Atlanteans did not die, so they survived on the bottom of the sea, and then ...... In order to adapt to the environment and survive, they evolved into a creature that resembles a human and a non-human, a fish and a non-fish, which is what we often call a mermaid, with a lifespan of more than 300 years!

It's a pity that soon after this incident came out, it was directly blocked, and the Soviet government deliberately guided the direction of public opinion, so that the people thought that this matter was actually a rumor, and the mermaid boy was YY out by people.

As for where the mermaid boy went, I don't know, I guess he was sent to a certain base for research, or he was interrogated about the specific address of Atlantis, these are all desperate, and we can't find out, but I estimate that the mermaid boy must not have said the specific address, otherwise Atlantis would have been excavated a long time ago, and the legend says that their energy was also plundered! ”

Rosa had a nose and eyes, and we were a little confused, and I looked at the beast-like monster lying under our feet, and I couldn't connect this thing with the Atlanteans who had come out of prehistoric supercivilization.

As for the ancient Greek spoken by the Atlanteans, in fact, this language has long been lost, now Greek has 24 roots, and ancient Greek has 26 roots, and the remaining two roots were lost in the late Homeric era when the language changed, so it is difficult to decipher ancient Greek, but I do understand some, because we have an ancient book of the Ming Dynasty at home, this unique book was left by a missionary who came to China in the Ming Dynasty, it is very complex, and there are some records about ancient Greek!

Ancient Greek, which has a relationship with English, is an Indo-European language family, and it is not difficult to learn, I saw it cursory at the time, and then I couldn't bear to scrutinize it, not to mention, I really know some rough ancient Greek!

Since there are Atlanteans in this area who can speak ancient Greek, I wonder if I should talk to one of the descendants of Atlantis and see if I can get any useful information!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at this "mermaid" again, and I felt a little pity in my heart, but it didn't matter what I looked at, and suddenly found that the mermaid's eyelids lying on the ground actually moved, and a bad feeling rose in my heart at that time, and I hurriedly shouted: "It's all out of the way, it's pretending to be dead!" ”
