Chapter 214: The Lamp Rises
(Cheekily: Although I haven't really entered Xu Fu's tomb yet, I'm already on the side of the gate.) It's true.. Look at this unprecedented update speed and word count, readers who know me must know that I have exhausted the power of the wilderness, I want to continue to conceive the plot later, plus to work, the update will still not be too stable, but it will definitely not be a eunuch, so continue to ask for recommendation votes, ask for collections, and seek diffusion~~~)
------------------------------------------------
I was about to go to Yue Mingmo's side to ask if I wanted to "cooperate" with her to change clothes, but I didn't expect her to wear a diving suit in it before she set off today, it's really yours!
I gave her a thumbs up, and of course, she ignored her.
"Shall we leave some people and things here?" Ah Da asked.
"No, before I came, my grandmother said that sea fighting is not better than fighting on land, the situation is special, and it is best for everyone to act together." Yue Mingmo said.
"Before I go into the water, I make a final reminder, our wetsuit comes with a waterproof cover, as long as you press the button next to the neck, it will automatically close, you can talk and breathe freely in the water, but if the waterproof cover breaks due to an accident, such as diving more than 100 meters, then you must bite the breathing apparatus tightly at the first time, otherwise you will die, so you had better wrap your mouth all the time just in case." Lao Zhou made a final explanation.
"Understood!" Everyone promised.
"Okay, then go down, six micro one out, there is no tomb in the world!" Yue Mingmo and I spoke at the same time.
"Puff ~ Puff!" A group of sixteen of us jumped into the sea one after another and officially began the search for Xu Fu's tomb.
"Hehe, it's not very cold either." The stallion said leisurely in front of him.
Even though the tide is now receding, the current is still slowly flowing towards the Eye of Death, so we don't need to exert much effort, just go down the river, and we don't need to waste oxygen cylinders by diving.
"Aren't you talking nonsense, this is a wetsuit with fine velvet, and each of us has at least $100,000 to buy something, of course it's not cold, you just have no problem diving in Antarctica." I said.
"Hehe, what Young Master Ouyang said is right, these things are purchased by Miss herself, and the ones you buy are not necessarily the most expensive, but they are the most durable." Lao Zhou said with a smile.
"Guys, enter through the gap in front of you and you'll find the Eye of Death." Manjiro sent a message from the front.
Of course, he took the lead, me and Yue Mingmo, as well as all the personnel of our side, were in the middle, and Ah Da Ah took the rest of the Yue family to be in charge of the rear of the palace.
I looked forward with the light source lit by Manjiro, and saw the endless flow of water pouring into the Eye of Death from the gap in the reef group in front of me, like a black hole in the sea, devouring everything that came near it, endlessly.
Damn, where did all this water go after it flowed into the sea cave? Can't fill it all up? Where does the sea cave eventually lead?
I suddenly felt the sound of the water beside me, and Yue Mingmo gently patted me on the shoulder, interrupting my habitual thoughts.
"I'm going in first, you must follow! Again, if you encounter a large fish such as sharks and manta rays, don't panic, and don't fire a spear gun to attack, otherwise it's really bad, they won't actively attack humans! If you are really attacked, call for help, there is an old drunkard, as long as it is a fish, you don't have to be afraid! Manjiro closed the shield and followed a deep pin into the sea, entering the Eye of Death.
I know that he is specifically talking to the people on my side, the people of the Yue family make a fortune by taking seafood, and they know much more about the sea than a few of us.
I looked at the people who were following us behind me, and then at Yue Mingmo, who was already more than half a body above me, gritted my teeth and pressed the button next to my neck, "Kuang~" The mask was closed, and I also dived into the sea and swam towards the Eye of Death.
"Ouyang, are you sure this is the Eye of Death, not a large aquarium?" The stallion swam in from behind.
"yes, I didn't expect it to be so beautiful!" Changzui and the others also let out a sigh of exclamation.
"In short, everyone be careful, you must always be vigilant." Although I said this, I was also shocked by what I saw.
Under the illumination of sixteen wolf-eye flashlights, although we have dived to a depth of twenty-five meters in the sea, we can still see the shape of our environment clearly.
This is a coral reef group with a complete ecological chain, full of strange stalactites and stalagmites, some like bananas, some like kettles, it can be described as a thousand postures, forming a magical labyrinth.
The walls of the cave are covered with sponges, and as far as the eye can see, there are all kinds of fish frolicking.
Maybe these sea creatures have been breeding for generations and have not been hunted by humans, or maybe they have suddenly ushered in precious light in the dark night, so they are not afraid of people, and there are many sea fish that swim around with us curiously.
The water here is so clear that if it weren't for the occasional bubbles coming out of our mouths, staying in it for a long time would give us the illusion that we were floating in space.
"Ouyang, do you see what's coming?" After a few moments of sneaking in the middle of a sea cave that looked like a huge tunnel, the stallion asked.
Once the mask of the wetsuit is closed, the communicator defaults to a global broadcast that can be heard by all.
"Not yet, let's see." I've been looking at it very seriously, but these are all naturally formed submarine caves, and even if Xu Fu has great ability, it is impossible to change the geomorphological characteristics in advance during the ice age.
Anyone who has been to the cave knows that you may be curious and surprised at first, but after walking for less than half an hour, you will be happy, because they all look the same, much the same.
I couldn't see any way at all, but I couldn't say it clearly, for fear of damaging everyone's morale, so I could only say that I would swim further.
"Don't swim far, calculate the oxygen reserves, don't go back enough, then play Dafa." The stallion reminded.
"Don't worry, my old drunkard is here, and he will control the time." Manjiro gave the stallion a reassurance.
I can understand the stallion's concerns, the terrain here is ten thousand times more complex than any tomb maze we've been to before, and even the moving maze of Funnel Mountain is not as dangerous as the seemingly calm environment here.
Once we run out of oxygen, or are attacked by some ferocious sea creatures, we will all have to be wiped out.
No matter how much it is, anyway, with Manjiro exploring the way ahead, I want to continue to wake up and observe if there is a hidden hole or something.
At this time, I saw that the light source in front of him folded, and Manjiro turned into the sea cave on the left.
I looked at Yue Mingmo and beckoned back for everyone to follow quickly.
Power is precious, and it is better than gestures without speaking, otherwise you will not be able to contact everyone at a critical moment, which will be a catastrophe.
Just as I was about to swim around the corner, a mutation struck!
"Retreat! Hurry back! Get back! Get out of here! Manjiro's warning roar almost cracked my eardrums.
"What's going on? I don't see any danger! ”
The crowd was full of doubts, but they were all well-trained personnel, and after all, they all began to swim back quickly in unison.
"Huh~Huh~Grunt~" Manjiro swam to me and Yue Mingmo in a few movements, he walked slowly on the ground, but at the moment he was as flexible as a big fish in the sea, maybe he thought I was swimming too slowly, and sometimes he also gave up one hand to pull me.
This makes me feel very ashamed, Yue Mingmo is like a mermaid, smart and elegant, and swims faster than me.
"Uncle Manjiro, what's going on?" Yue Mingmo asked.
"'That thing' is coming! Damn, it happened at this time! Manjiro said hatefully.
When I heard this, my heart sank, and it was actually the legendary "evil ghost" that had been chasing us since the beginning of the night crying fishing village.
"Swim back quickly, don't panic!" After hearing Manjiro say that it was "that thing", someone in the team began to feel uneasy, and Lao Zhou hurriedly spoke.
We swam back to the death, damn, I didn't feel how far we were all the way when we came in, why did it feel so far away when we speed up now!
As a large school of panicked fish passed through us, a large phantom emerged from the lights that swept across the walls of the cave.
I subconsciously looked back and almost didn't scare me to death!
A decomposed object, in the shape of a fish, with half of its head gone, and a long, black tongue fluttering, swept straight toward us.
"! Is this 'that thing'? Could it be just an ordinary whale carcass? Uncle Manjiro, you read it wrong for a while? Didn't you say you never saw it in its true face? "The stallion saw it too.
"I haven't seen it, but I've been looking for it for decades, and this feeling, that's it, absolutely yes!" Manjiro said.
"But no matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary dead whale, can't it become a big fish dumpling now?" The stallion exclaimed.
Actually, I thought so in my heart, maybe it was just a coming current that just swept the decomposing whale carcass over.
"Boom~" Even in the sea, I can clearly hear the sound of the large stalactite pillars that have been formed over hundreds of millions of years behind me connecting the cave walls being broken.
I confirmed this time, "that thing" is alive! That moment the dragon tail swing was definitely not an action to follow the current, but a spontaneous behavior!
"Swim faster! Can't beat it up to this place! Go back to the reef and figure it out! Manjiro shouted.
"! That thing is alive! Let's go back now! "The stallion's long hands and feet are advantageous at this time, and he paddles a little farther than everyone else can sneak far.
With the drive of Manjiro, Yue Mingmo and I gradually surpassed the crowd of the Yue family in front of us, and Dajiu Hook saw me coming, and after glancing back, he also began to continue to swim out.
"Ah!!h One of the people of the Yue family couldn't help but pick up the speargun and shoot at "that thing".
"Idiot! Throw away the speargun! Manjiro shouted.
The speargun hit "that thing" accurately, it paused for two seconds and then turned on the spot and dragged the person from the Yue family with the gun in front of him, and then opened the remaining half of the huge mouth, and the big tongue rolled up and peeled off all the diving suits of the person, and before the person struggled, he saw a complete human skin strangely fall off, and was instantly sucked into the mouth, leaving only a bloody man struggling frantically, slowly sinking to the bottom of the cave.
Those corpses without human skin before, sure enough, it did it!
"Run!" Everything happened in the light of light, and we had no time to grieve for the dead, the threat of death was imminent, and we had to flee for our lives.
"Boom~Boom~" Arm-thick stalactite pillars were constantly broken, and the stone walls on my head fell down one after another, and the water in the entire sea cave had become extremely turbid, and I could only rely on the light source and a vague figure to swim forward.
The speed of "that thing" is not slow, but due to its huge size, although the sea cave is wide, there are stalactite pillars connecting the upper and lower sides everywhere on the cave wall, so we can take advantage of the terrain and escape from the mouth of "that thing" that is already close at hand several times.
"Which of you led the way? We're lost! "Manjiro has rushed to the front, wanting to lead us back to the reef where the dinghy is located as soon as possible.
"I'm sorry, we really didn't mean to, we've never encountered this kind of thing, it's really scary!" Changzui and others shouted again and again.
You can't blame them all, and whoever encounters this situation will be panicked.
"Follow me, don't run around anymore!" Manjiro was once again the leader.
Behind us, schools of fish were caught up in the "thing", and we swam wildly in the sea cave for I don't know how long.
"I'm so tired, I can't swim anymore, you guys go, leave me alone." The first one who couldn't stand it was Taka Kato.
"Don't talk nonsense, Dean Kato, don't give up!" I shouted.
"Just let me stay, at least I can buy you a little time, I'll find a way to blow up the oxygen cylinder, maybe I can." Takashi Kato said.
It was the first time I had a fatal emergency in the sea, and I had to make a quick decision or everyone would have to be buried.
I was about to take out the rope and hang it on him and drag him away, when suddenly a large light appeared in the sea cave in front of me, I was so excited that I burst into tears, Qingming and sincerity did not deceive me, I have seen the ebb and flow of the tide, and now, it is finally the turn of the lights to rise!
