Chapter 113: Ebb Tide

(Khan, who failed to fulfill his promise to enter Xu Fu's tomb, went out in order to apologize!) Grab the code word when you get home from work today at night.,It's estimated that it's also a chapter after twelve o'clock in the evening! For me who works part-time as a codeword, this is already my fastest update speed, ask for recommended votes, ask for collections! )

-------------------------------------------------

"Brother Dajiu, throw it out with us, hook the reef, and fix the boat." Ah Da handed a nylon rope with a string of hooks attached to it to Tatsuku Goo.

Then the two of them struggled to throw the nylon rope forward like Manjiro, and only a few "ding" sounds were heard, and all of us shook, and the two rubber boats were firmly anchored to the edge of the reef.

"Everyone, do your best!"

Then all of us pulled the rope desperately and bolted the rubber boat to the position designated by Manjiro.

"Whew! I'm tired of Ma Ye. ”

We climbed the reef and sat on it to observe the surroundings.

"We are less than a hundred meters away from the Eye of Death, Miss, Ouyang is in charge, what do you think?" Manjiro said.

"Only Ouyang Yiming here has a way to find the location of the entrance to the ancient tomb, let's listen to what he has to say." Yue Mingmo, who was holding a telescope and watching carefully, said.

She is not stupid, judging from the current situation, except for the Liuwei Ouyang family, there is indeed no one else who can make a calculation about the entrance to the ancient tomb.

"Wait a minute, let me take a closer look." At such a close distance, there was no need to waste the drone's battery, so I also picked up the binoculars and looked at it carefully, not letting go of any details of the Eye of Death.

Up close, the Eye of Death was even larger, and in addition to the swirling whirlpool in the cave entrance, the mushroom-shaped water mass from the cave was also clearly visible.

"How did those spews of water come about? It's peculiar. Seeing this, I couldn't help but open the communicator and ask

"Let me answer this question, when there were still a large number of residents in the Night Cry Fishing Village, many old people believed that there was a monster that was half like a shark and half an octopus living in the Eye of Death, and this monster would use its long tentacles to drag food into the nest at the bottom of the sea**, and after eating it, it would spit out unwanted remnants." Manjiro said.

"It can't be so evil, right? Uncle Manjiro, don't scare me. The stallion said as he held the telescope in one hand and looked ahead at the big hole that seemed to be able to swallow everything.

"Brother Ma, how big is the land? How vast is the sea? I've been at sea for decades, and I've seen too many strange things, if you don't believe it, you can ask Kato-san next to you, how much does he know about the ocean? Manjiro looked relaxed and sat on the edge of the dinghy.

"Well, even my students who specialize in ocean research don't know much about the ocean. If we only talk about this sea cave, once it is formed, it is usually buried by silt alluvium, so there are very few submarine caves. The large cave in front of me has survived to this day because of the rapid currents in the vicinity, which can quickly wash away the sediment. But in this way, this sea hole will continue to sink all the time, and no one knows what its fate will be in the future. The specific situation, whether there are monsters or something, you still have to wait until you go in to know. Kato said after a moment's silence.

"It's worthy of Dean Kato, this can be deduced." The stallion hurried to pat the horse's ass.

"Then we just need to wait for the tide to recede, and then we will go in and find out." I retracted my binoculars and touched the oxygen cylinder next to me.

"There is another situation, I think, it is necessary to tell you now, so that everyone can have a mental preparation in advance." Takashi Kato said.

"What's the situation? Dean Kato, please. Yue Mingmo said.

"And that's what I just noticed, the reef under our feet is all made of limestone, which means that it was part of a huge limestone mountain range that was covered with glaciers a long time ago, when sea levels were much lower than they are now. Later, the limestone was eroded by acidic rainwater and many potholes were formed, gradually becoming underground caves. Later, the underground river disappeared due to climate change, and the cave dried, so the bisulfate and calcium precipitated from the limestone slowly formed stalagmites and stalactites, and without the support of water, the roof of the cave began to collapse, and the top of many caves became domes. 150 million years ago, glaciers began to melt due to the warming of the earth's climate, and the sea level gradually rose to its current height, and part of the land became an ocean, so it became a cave in the sea, and the Eye of Death was formed. Takashi Kato explained.

"I understand this time, that is to say, the Eye of Death we see is only the starting point of a series of sea caves, and there may be hundreds or even thousands of kilometers of underwater caves in the sea that we can't see, damn it! It's cool. The stallion suddenly realized.

"Well, this is just my speculation, there are still a lot of loopholes." Takashi Kato said.

Although he said this, I know that Kato Taka is here to comfort us, and I have seen his scientific theoretical knowledge, and the inferences he can make are basically inseparable.

"It's okay, I won't let everyone blindly go into the sea and die in vain, after the tide is low, let's have a preliminary detection first, and then make a decision, if it's really no fun, please also ask the Yue family sister to immediately use your satellite positioning to call for rescue, and retreat immediately." I saw that everyone was a little stunned after listening to Kato Taka's reasoning, so I spoke.

"Well, as you say, act when the time comes." Yue Mingmo agreed.

"Hehe, since it's okay for the time being, let's rest separately, this may be the last time to rest, don't you feel a little cold? I'm going to add an extra piece of clothing. After Lao Zhou finished speaking, he took out a light jacket from his backpack and put it on his body.

"The sea breeze is so strong, it's a bit cold to sit like this." We also felt cool, so we did the same, and everyone put on the jackets prepared for us by the Yue family.

"Boss Ouyang, we feel a little hungry." The long-mouthed trio said.

There is a turbulent current under your feet, and there is no way to get ready-made seafood, even if it is Manjiro.

"Take it, save some food, you hungry people!" Shar Pei, who was in charge of carrying food and fresh water, gave each of them some dry food and threw a bottle of water, he was tall and strong, and in addition to the dry food and water that each of us had brought with him, the equally strong Ah Da also carried more supplies just in case.

There are also people on the Yue family's side who have started to replenish, and I and Yue Mingmo, Lao Zhou, Stallion and other major combat forces have no heart to eat now, just drink a few sips of fresh water and wait for the arrival of the low tide.

The sun is setting on the other side of the sea, the seabirds are returning to their nests, and it is finally dark.

"Attention, the tide is receding!" While we were all tired of waiting, Manjiro's voice came from the communicator.

Now the visual distance of the sea surface is less than ten meters, we must rely on external light sources to see objects dozens of meters away, our head has a highly penetrating diving lamp, but that consumes a bit of the power supply of the communicator, we will not use it as a last resort, or use a waterproof wolf's eye flashlight is reliable, dozens of hours of continuous use is not a problem.

"It's finally low tide!" Everyone sighed as if they were relieved, and at the same time began to quickly change their clothes into wetsuits, put on neat diving equipment, and check for damage and air leakage one by one.

Now that the tide is low, let's get started!
