6. Dragon Gate (II)

Ali and I rechecked all the gear we had to bring and plunged into the water.

The abyss under the sea was not very far from our ship, and in front of the cave was a huge stone dragon that meandered for a hundred meters, which seemed to be a dragon from the East, but the shape was very simple, and it was more appropriate to say that it was a snake with horns on its head than a dragon.

The water quality here is quite clear, you can shine more than ten meters underwater, and you can see the surrounding fish and some coral reefs through the light, how to say, it is much more shocking than what you can see in the underwater world.

The undersea abyss and the stone dragon were very abruptly lying there, although I had been mentally prepared, but seeing the cave abyss with a diameter of more than 20 meters and the huge stone dragon of 100 meters, I still felt an inexplicable fear spreading in my heart.

I quickly adjusted my breathing, and the oxygen was running out too quickly. We were very close to the cave at this time, and I even saw a few sharks wandering around the cave.

Ali swam close to me in fear, pointed in the direction of the shark, and the underwater sketchboard on her waist wrote: Will it eat people?

I shook my head, took the tablet and wrote: It's not that scary, this is not an aggressive white shark, be careful, no problem.

After that, I cleaned up and asked Ali to follow me. The two men began to swim deeper into the cave.

After diving a few more meters, the surroundings began to blur, and in a short time it was completely dark. I knew that this was because the sunlight could no longer penetrate here, so I calmly turned on the underwater searchlight above my head, and the scene below was clear at a glance.

However, all we could see were scattered fish, and the rest were the surrounding stone walls, which didn't look unusual.

The diving watch showed a distance of 20 meters underwater, after all, we did not have the same high experience of underwater diving as sailors, and at a distance of 20 meters, I already felt some blockage in my lungs at this time.

I know that 100 meters is within the safe range of people who are not professionally trained, and if they are fully equipped to dive, I am not worried at this time.

As you continue down, the cave begins to widen, and the surrounding stone walls are no longer visible. I don't think that's right, if there's an entrance to this stone wall or something, we'll miss it.

However, I also know that this possibility is very rare, after all, the submarine tombs are all ship burials, and even if the shipbuilding technology is high, it is impossible to connect with the caves here.

I think the depths of this cave may be where the burial ship is located. The stone dragon above is a mythical beast that acts as a grave keeper.

Ali suddenly patted me in the back at this time, and when I looked back, I found that she was really pointing in a direction in front of her, with a rare look of fear in her eyes.

I was startled and looked in the direction she was pointing. I saw that in the darkness inside the cave, because of the illumination of the searchlight, there were three white human creatures approaching our direction.

Note that it's close, not swimming. The body was stiff and almost weird, and the three white figures did not make any movement, slowly approaching us.

Ali wrote on the drawing board: What is that?

I thought about it, shook my head and wrote: I don't know. I'll go over and take a look, you be careful in the back.

After I finished writing, I took out the underwater air gun, this two-meter-long thing, although it is terrifying, but the power is only four or five meters, but it can be used as a spear.

Gently shaking his feet, he approached the three white shadows. I gestured to Ali and told her to stop moving for a moment and wait to see my signal. As long as I raise my arm and don't move, I can get close. If she keeps shaking after raising her arm, she doesn't care about anything when she sees it, and just runs.

These were all agreed upon while we were on board.

Ali nodded and made a clear gesture.

At first, because of the distance, I thought it was some kind of fish, but when I got closer, I gasped.

It turned out to be three people in this white wetsuit. The body has been swollen by the sea bubbles, and the eyes are bulging outward, and there is a feeling of death. His face was pale and he looked terrifying.

Looking at the hair, it can be concluded that it is two men and one woman. The three corpses floated up from the bottom of the cavern, and as they passed me, they didn't stop and floated straight towards the sea.

What surprised me the most was not the horrific appearance of these corpses, nor the reason why they were here. But...

The three corpses were actually being tied to a black rope, and the buoyancy of the three corpses was floating towards the surface of the sea with a rope.

I recognized the rope as Ayumi's 'hanging rope', which means that the three corpses were deliberately tied together by Ayumi.

I'm too lazy to speculate on why they did it now. made a signal to Ali, discussed it with the two of them, and then decided that we would follow the rope and find the whereabouts of Yang Xiaoqi and the others.

Because we didn't know what was tied to the other end of the rope, we didn't dare to pull it, but chose to swim down.

After ten minutes, the stone wall has narrowed a lot, and stone carvings began to appear on the stone wall, which seem to be carved from local materials, and the technique is crude, but the volume of the stone carvings is very large. The smallest is also more than half a person tall.

This situation has only happened in me, and what I have seen with my own eyes at this time is something else. That kind of intuitive shock is definitely not something that can be clearly expressed in any words.

Imagine that thousands of years ago, people were able to leave such a miraculous miracle at the bottom of the sea, and if this place were developed, it would definitely be a miracle in the world.

I believe that when Yang Xiaoqi entered the studio orchid, he must have felt the same mood as I do now, excited, shocked, and in awe....

In ancient times, people did not have diving equipment, so they had to complete such stone carvings in the water, plus the stone dragon outside, the hard work and wisdom of the two can be imagined.

My eyes were completely attracted by the stone carvings on the stone wall, and it took Ali Lian to pat me a few times before I came to my senses.

Ali held up the sketchpad in her hand, and I looked at it intently, and there were only a few words: a boat ahead!

After seeing this, I woke up and hurriedly looked into the depths of the cave. There was a shipwreck there.

And the other end of the hanging rope was directly tied to the top of the ship's mast.

I, Ali, were on the top of the big ship, and although we were not in a good position, we were above after all, and even so, we couldn't see where the head and tail of the ship were.

The size of the ship was beyond my imagination, and the hole we were in was as slender as the chimney of an oil tanker.

That's when I suddenly realized a very important problem.

The ship here is bigger than the ocean cave, so the question is, how did this ship stop at the bottom of this underwater cave?
