An Beimo told me that the king has a foot worm, also known as the deep-sea lice, which belongs to the family of water lice, and is a relatively common creature in the deep sea. But the ones we've seen before are very rare.

Because according to scientists, it is very rare and extremely rare for the king to have a body size that can grow to more than 30 centimeters. But almost every one of them we just saw was over thirty centimeters.

Their numbers are so huge that they are by no means as rare as scientists say. I guess these bugs used to hide in the deep seabed, but they weren't found.

An Beimo said that this kind of insect eats everything, and the white bone we saw must be their "masterpiece".

As for my familiarity, it is because the king has a "cousin" on land, which is a common tide insect.

I just woke up to the fact that the king has a foot worm and is an enlarged version of the tide worm! I can always see such little things in damp places or dark corners, and I don't have the slightest affection for them.

An Beimo talked about the place we are in now at this time, and she said to me: "I didn't expect that there would be such a large space under this island, and even the ground under my feet was so strange. I'm skeptical of what Haruko Sakai said to us, does the Demon Concubine really think there are mineral deposits under this island? ”

I said, "Not unusual! Maybe they didn't intend to tell us the truth in the first place. As I spoke, I slapped the ground twice with my hand and said to An Beimo: "You touch it, do you feel like you are touching a large piece of meat?" Both the feel and elasticity are similar to the quality of meat. How can there be a mine in such a place? ”

Listening to my words, An Beimo was stunned for a moment, and his expression immediately became solemn, as if he had thought of something terrible.

I saw that her expression had changed, and I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" Did you find something? ”

An Beimo pondered and didn't speak, and waited for a while before she said, "Is there such a possibility?" We made a mistake from the start, this is not an island at all! ”

I was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

An Beimo looked at the ground and said to me: "From the beginning, we had a preconceived idea that this place was just like the demon concubine said, a desert island that suddenly emerged from the bottom of the sea. This is a reasonable statement, as it often happens in the ocean. This is especially true in the vicinity of archipelagic countries like Japan. ”

Saying that, An Beimo raised his head and looked at me, and continued: "But I think back to all the strange things we encountered after we went to the island, and at first I just thought that this island was weird. But when I think about the island as a whole, combined with these phenomena, I have a novel speculation. ”

I knew that An Beimo's insights had always been unique and accurate, so I hurriedly asked, "What is your guess?" ”

An Beimo stared at me and said word by word: "I suspect that this island is an organic life form!" ”

"What?" Shocked, I asked her uncertainly, "You mean this island...... Is it alive? ”

I couldn't accept this statement for a while, and said to An Beimo: "How is this possible? This island is all rock structures, and you say that stones can have life, which is completely contrary to the laws of nature! ”

An Beimo was not surprised that I had a different opinion, she said: "Do you remember those people who were contaminated with parasitic fungi and caused them to be dissolved? I don't know how they get on the fungus, but I do know that the parasite has always been attached to organic matter. If there really are only rocks here, I'm afraid these parasites won't survive at all. ”

That's right, I'm at a loss for words.

An Beimo continued: "Then there is what we encountered in that corridor, which is opened in twelve minutes and closed in sixteen minutes. We judged it to be a looping trap at the time, but now that we think about it, who would have set it up underneath this desert island? This is simply not logical. ”

I think it's true, but in fact, I always think it's far-fetched.

Seeing my acquiescence, An Beimo said: "So I judge that it is not a mechanism at all, and such a regular cycle of activity, I think it is very likely to be the ...... of this island" She paused deliberately and said in an accentuated tone: "Breathing!" ”

The more I heard An Beimo talk, the more bizarre it became, and it was completely beyond my cognition. But since she dared to say that this island was alive, it was not surprising that this island could breathe.

But to be honest, I can't believe An Beimo's speculation for the time being, and even I think she is imagining. It's just that I haven't been able to disprove her theory yet, so I silently listened to her continue.

"Next here!" An Beimo continued his reasoning, "You also said just now, what we are stepping on is not a rock mass, but something like meat, which has a feel and elasticity. Is it possible that this is actually the heart of the island? ”

I stared at An Beimo and was speechless in surprise, her ideas were really bold and creative. According to what she said, this is simply a stone becoming a refinement and cultivating into an immortal.

An Beimo knew that I couldn't accept her statement at all, but I was not reluctant. She smiled slightly and said, "These are just my bold guesses, and they are not backed by evidence yet, so they are not conclusive." Let's explore this place first and find a way out. As for what the truth is, we'll discuss it carefully when we get out. ”

I smiled noncommittally, the problem at hand is to find a way out of here first, as for what An Beimo said, take it as a reference, whether it is right or wrong.

So we roughly judged the direction and walked forward side by side.

Neither of us spoke again on the way, because the more we walked, the more strange it became. Compared to the strange things that I always encountered before, this place is too peaceful.

In the pitch black environment, it seems that there are no other creatures except for me and An Beimo. I can clearly hear my own breathing and heartbeat, and even An Beimo's subtle breathing, I can vaguely perceive it. This extraordinary tranquility makes people feel panicked.

After walking for more than half an hour, the road seemed to come to an end, and a cliff appeared not far ahead. An Beimo and I were curious that there was a deeper place, so we quickened our pace and ran to the end of the road.

As we stood on the edge of the cliff, we couldn't help but be stunned by what we saw again. Even though we have seen all kinds of incredible things and things, what appeared this time has once again refreshed our cognition.

Under the light of the flashlights of the two of us, there were layers of endless transparent spheres, like countless huge glass marbles, stacked here.

They are almost completely transparent, each one is two people tall, and the flashlight will refract when it shines in, as if it is filled with transparent liquid, and in the center, there seems to be a nucleus.

I felt as if I had entered a science fiction world, and the things in front of me were so unreal.

It took me a minute to stand still before I pulled myself back into reality. I wondered what these huge transparent orbs were, and when I saw that the closest one to me was only two or three meters away, I made a downward slope and crouched down to sneak down to see what was going on.

At this time, An Beimo grabbed me from behind, "What do you want to do?" She asked me seriously.

I replied, "Go down and see what these things are, maybe this is something of value on the island." ”

An Beimo said in a very solemn tone: "Before you know what these things are, I advise you not to touch them!" ”

I said, "There are so many big transparent beads hidden under the island, maybe they are some rare substances, how can you know what their value is without checking them?" ”

An Beimo said: "Do you think it's a rare substance? I don't think so, I think they're more like the eggs of some kind of creature! ”

I was slightly stunned, and then immediately understood. It seems that An Beimo is still following her organic biology's train of thought to deduce what is in front of her.

"Eggs?" I was skeptical and said, "That's a bit mysterious, isn't it?" What can produce eggs that big? Do you want to say that this island can still give birth? ”

Seeing that I didn't believe it, An Beimo said: "I mean yes, I didn't say yes." But if my judgment is right, wouldn't you be causing us trouble if you provoked them? She pondered for a moment and then said, "Let's take a look around and find the way first!" ”

I thought about it, too, no matter what these big beads were, it didn't seem to help us get out. So I had to put away my strong curiosity, stood up and walked along the edge of the cliff with An Beimo to the side.

Although I suppressed my curiosity, I kept looking at these transparent balls with a flashlight, and my mind kept analyzing what these balls were for, why they were hidden here, and so on.

During my thinking, I also found an interesting thing, when the flashlight beam shines on these transparent giant beads, it can not only penetrate and refract, but also be transmitted far away by these transparent giant balls. The beam is refracted back and forth, and through the reflection, it seems that the surrounding space is illuminated a lot.

I told An Beimo about this discovery, and she also tried it with a flashlight after hearing it. She didn't say anything, though, and was far from showing that I was interested.

Not long after walking, a strange voice suddenly came from nowhere. An Beimo and I stopped in surprise, I pulled out my pistol, and she picked up her sniper rifle while aiming at the huge transparent balls.

The sound came from these giant balls, but we searched everywhere, but we didn't find anything out of the orb. The sound continued, not loud, and it felt far away from us. When I listened closely, I noticed that it was a bit like the grinding sound of your hand as you slid on the glass.

An Beimo and I glanced at each other, there was a look of surprise in each other's eyes, and I whispered to An Beimo: "Otherwise, let's find a way out of here quickly, I always have a bad premonition." ”

An Beimo nodded and said, "I agree!" ”

So we both put down our guns at the same time and ran forward. Based on our experience, that strange noise must have been a prelude to impending danger.

Now that the two of us are tired, have limited ammunition, and do not have the conditions for a head-to-head confrontation, the best option is to sneak up on the thirty-six strategies!

As soon as he ran far, he heard a soft sound of "pop", followed by a chaotic sound of water splattering the ground. After a few seconds, silence returned.

Although it was quiet, An Beimo and I didn't dare to stop. The sound just now sounded like a huge water bladder suddenly bursting.

Needless to say, the water bladder must be these giant spheres. It seems that these transparent spheres are filled with an unknown liquid, and it is unknown why they suddenly burst.
