239. Coral Cave

I tore through the wall of water and pulled it to both sides, and the rest of the people got in front of me, and it wasn't until finally that Sheng Shiyao also entered there, and I passed through the wall of water by myself. Suddenly, I was stunned, there was no water behind this water wall? Not only is there no water, but I seem to be able to see a vague scene, and the silhouettes of the rest of the people can be discerned in black, and Sheng Shiyao's figure is much clearer than before.

Does it mean that there is a substance in this space that can wash away the black and turbid qi from my body? As soon as my mind crossed, Sheng Shiyao came to my side, and without using any more words, he directly asked, "Xiaoxiao, can you see it?" ”

When I took off the goggles and respirator, I told him that he could only see a blurry image, and he took my pulse to examine my wrist, and when I got closer, I could see his eyebrows furrowed, and this was the first time I could see his face in the past few days. It's a bit like a person with deep myopia, who can see everything vaguely, and can only see things if they are close.

After a while, he said, "The turbidity in your body has not diminished, and it should be the medium in the air that has washed away some of your eyes, so that you can see a little." Zhou Tong asked from the side: "Didn't the little sister say that she was intermittently blind?" Why is there any turbidity in the body? "Thinking back to the white lies I told them, I rarely mentioned it all the way, so they didn't know the reason for my real blindness.

At this time, he naturally didn't have time to explain to him, Sheng Shiyao directly ordered everyone to take off their diving suits and diving equipment, travel lightly, and decided to leave these equipment here. According to him, when I tore open the wall of water with both hands to form a hole, the middle naturally condensed into a layer of water, but the layer of water was relatively thinner than before, enough for them to pass through, but the wonderful thing was that except for the water they had brought with them, no water flowed through the opening.

In other words, when a person penetrates, he is closely connected to the water layer to the point that there is no gap. Looking at the current space, although it is vague, it can be discerned that it is still in the cave. The tentacles touched the wall next to them, but there was no longer the slippery thing leaning on the surface.

After disassembling the equipment, we began to move forward along the passage, which was especially precious compared to the previous moment when it was completely invisible to the eye. It also gave me confidence that the turbidity would be dispelled. The rope between me and Sheng Shiyao was instead tied to my wrists, and it was always safer to walk on land than to sneak in the water.

With Zhuang Yu's example in front, everyone was very cautious, with weapons and tools in their hands, and the atmosphere was very tense. But we reached the end of the passage half an hour later, and we didn't encounter anything on the way, except that at the end, we saw a fishbone, oversized, huge. Immediately thought of one of the mysteries that Sheng Shiyao said, there are big fish in the lake. Seeing it with my own eyes, I really appreciated how big the so-called big fish is, the length of the light is nearly ten meters, and the width almost fills this hole.

It's like this big fish is stuck in it, with no way out, no way out, and then finally dies and turns into white bones.

I suddenly thought, could it be that the passage we are taking now may actually be caused by this big fish? Because both in height and width, this layer is extremely similar to that of a large fish. Suppose that many years ago, this big fish plunged into the silt at the bottom of the lake for some reason, and in order to survive, it had to drill desperately, because of its huge body, it is naturally very strong. The silt layer itself will not be too hard, it drilled all the way forward, but it did not expect to be drilled through the realm of the water city, but because of the space medium, the water cannot penetrate here, the fish lacks water, naturally can not live, and when it rushes here, it is no longer able to swim back.

If that's the case, we have to thank the big fish for making a passage for us to walk.

It is easy to distinguish, the head of the big fish is in front, the tail is behind, we drill from under the skeleton to the front, only to hear Sheng Shiyao's light hum in our ears. I hurriedly asked what I found, and he said that the fish did not die of lack of water, but were artificially strangled, and there were weapons like our fish arrows in the throat of the fish pierced between the bones of the fish, which was the root cause of its fatality.

Soon he had a completely different inference from mine, he said that when someone on the shore of Fuxian Lake saw the traces of this big fish, it spread it, attracting the attention of people who cared about it, this fish was chased and hid in this place, this cave should be the habitat of this fish, it can survive in this waterless space. It's a miracle that fish can live without water.

Regardless of how the fish died, we had to find a way out of the cave. I tried to chisel into the wall with a shovel, and found that it was easy to chisel through, and I chiseled in an inch or two, and before the water wall appeared, I went deeper and deeper, and it became difficult, and the inner layer became stronger. When you dig nearly a foot, it's hard to dig in. Hearing Sheng Shiyao shouting Zhou Tong, he immediately understood that they were trying to blow up this place by blasting. With previous experience, this time I brought enough equipment, especially like this blasting explosive, Zhou Tong did it in advance and brought it down with waterproof packaging.

There was a boom, not as loud as I imagined, but I could feel the shock of my body. Zhou Tong ran forward to take a look, and soon heard him calling: "Brother Yao, come and see." "We drilled through the skeleton again, and when we got to the place where the blasting charge was placed, I couldn't see it, but I could tell from the sound of pumping that something had exploded.

Sure enough, I heard the six sons on the side asking in surprise: "What is the place behind this?" There is so much space. ”

"Don't guess here, use a shovel to make the hole bigger for people to pass through." Sheng Shiyao ordered in a deep voice, and while they continued to dig, he explained to me in a low voice that the explosion just now directly blew up a crack more than a foot long, and from the crack through the past, you can see that there is light inside, and the space is huge, I don't know what it is. Judging from the geographical location, we should have entered the area of the Water City, so if there is a large space behind this wall, it is likely to be somewhere in the Water City.

Although a crack had been blasted, the wall of the cave was still very strong, and it should have taken more than two hours for ping-pong to knock out a hole that could be drilled through. We drilled into the past one by one, the exclamations came one after another, Zhou Tong was particularly exaggerated, he took my hand to his arm and said: "Little sister, quickly pinch my brother to see if it hurts, I suspect that I have entered a hallucination." ”

I don't know what they saw, so that the reaction was so big, and after I pinched Zhou Tong's arm hard, he sighed and said, "It's not that I'm dreaming, I can see pearls and night pearls everywhere, as well as coral, am I in the treasure house?" ”

"Everywhere? Coral? "I don't really believe his words, not so exaggerated. If Shuicheng is really the city of the king of Yunnan that disappeared 2,000 years ago, and we happen to run into the royal palace, it is normal to use some night pearls in the palace to illuminate.

But I heard Zhou Tong say: "I have never seen such luxury in my life." Is it all natural? Some are in the shells, some are piled up on the ground, and oh my God, this side of the coral is priceless. ”

"Zhou Tong, can you not be so nervous, like you haven't seen the market." Liu Yue couldn't bear to complain, and Zhou Tong's voice suddenly became smaller and said, "I just suddenly saw so many jewels and sighed." ”

The rest of the people crouched down, as if to pick up something on the ground, which did not seem to be an exaggeration. I asked out loud if this was a palace? But I heard Zhou Tong say: "Where is it, it is a natural cave, I suspect that this was a gathering place for mussels in the past, or where would there be so many pearls and night pearls." ”

Just a hole, not a palace? That doesn't have anything to do with my previous speculation, so how could there be so many treasures in the cave? Thinking that Sheng Shiyao had been silent since he came in, he turned around to look for his figure, and immediately froze in front of me on the left, I took a step forward and pulled him, but found that he seemed to have come back from his meditation, and then whispered: "It turns out that there is really a shark palace." ”

"You mean this is another mystery, the Lonely Mountain Shark Palace?" I was shocked to ask. He shook his head and said, "No, this is just a coral cave, judging by the number of mussel shells and the proportion of pearls, it cannot be all mussels, it is said that when the merman cries, the tears will turn into pearls." ”

Shark tears, leaving people. Such a sentence suddenly popped up in my mind, the legend of the shark has actually been heard, and the poem "The pearl of the sea and the moon has tears" in "Jin Se" is said to be a hidden shark. But is there really such a creature as a merman in this world? And all the rumors don't say that the merman grows in the sea, how can it appear at the bottom of the lake?

Without much doubt, he suddenly heard Liuzi shouting from a slight distance: "Brother Yao, there is a door here." "At that moment, Sheng Shiyao pulled me over quickly, this time I didn't need him to explain, I could already vaguely see that there was a stone gate in front of me, if there was a natural coral cave next to it, then this stone gate must be man-made, otherwise it would not be so smooth. In other words, before we came, there were already people in this place, so this coral cave is a little strange, so many treasures have not been taken, but a stone gate has been built here, is it settled here, and then used the coral cave as its own treasure house?

There was a mechanism on the door, Sheng Shiyao quickly found the mystery, and the stone door opened in response. In the next moment, I heard Liu Yue's exclamation, not only her, but the rest of the people also screamed in different heights, and held the fish arrow in their hands.

But he heard Sheng Shiyao say: "Dead." The crowd breathed a sigh of relief, and I asked uneasily, "What do you see?" ”

"There is a row of dead people squatting behind the door with unrecognizable faces," Zhou Tong wanted to explain to me, but suddenly paused, and then exclaimed: "Brother Yao, look at their feet, they seem to be fish tails, how can they stand like this, no, how can they be human fish tails?" ”

I already had the answer in my heart, and I read it out at the same time as Sheng Shiyao: "Shark! ”

According to their descriptions, each of the dead mermaids had a light holder on their heads, on which was placed a small pearl of the night, and not only that, but it was hollowed out in front of their chests and lit with fire, and the sight was truly terrifying.
