150. Underwater Adventure (1) (thanks to @florawater diamonds)
If we can't find it, we have to find it, otherwise we can't leave this island, and this kind of thing is Sheng Shiyao and Zhuang Yu, and the main thing is that only they can deal with it. Although they didn't say what would happen, they could see from the power of the ancient corpse that this blood drop must be an evil thing, and ordinary people can't touch it. This makes it even more difficult to find.
Seeing that Zhuang Yu and Sheng Shiyao's faces were solemn, it seemed that there were more than these problems, Jian Ning and I looked at each other, and couldn't help frowning and worrying in our hearts. Originally, I thought that the return journey was peaceful, but I didn't think that the second half of the journey was not going well, first there was a big storm that almost wiped out, and then a ghost shipwreck, and then trapped on this isolated island, experiencing one sinister after another, and endangering life and death several times. To this day, there is still a long way to go, and I don't know when it will be the return date.
But things always seem to be unexpected, only a day later, Sheng Shiyao said that there was no need to search aimlessly, because he and Zhuang Yu dived around the bottom of the sea and found four small stone coffins, but the four stone coffins were not intact, they had been overturned from the mud on the bottom of the sea, and they were empty.
There is only one possibility in this case, and some creature on the bottom of the sea smells blood, thus destroying the stone coffin, causing blood to roll out of the coffin. Originally, if this was the case, the sealed blood would no longer be able to work after more than 2,000 years. But there is still a thick blood and resentment above the sea, which means that the blood drop still exists, so after the blood drop is overturned, it must have been swallowed by the sea creatures, so that the blood fell into the body of that creature.
Yes? Can it still be like this? "Then, why is the stone coffin of the ancient corpse intact?" After asking, I realized that I had asked a stupid question, who can lift such a giant stone coffin?
But Sheng Shiyao said: "It's not because the stone coffin is heavy and huge, Qin Fang has set a blood spell on the stone coffin, and the aquatic creatures within the radius will not be able to eat it and die if they get close, haven't you found that you haven't seen a fish in the waters of this rock group?" Even the water poured into the cave of the Heavenly Altar is not an inch. ”
I thought about it, I really haven't seen a fish in the shallows, and it seems that this blood witchcraft is really evil. Instead, I thought about what kind of creatures would eat those blood drops, and this creature actually lived for more than 2,000 years after eating blood drops, how big did it have to grow? It's terrifying when I think about it. Now I'm even more worried, if the blood is fixed there, look for it slowly, there will always be a day to find it, but it is swallowed by the animals on the bottom of the sea, they are active, so how to find it?
Sheng Shiyao said that it was not difficult to find, because not all the surrounding islands were full of resentment, and it was precisely the route we sailed in that had the strongest evil qi, and this evil qi had been winding all the way to the shipwreck on the bottom of the sea, and when it went out, it gradually dissipated. Therefore, he and Zhuang Yu preliminarily determined that the location of the wreck was a cordon. It is likely that the creature only swims within a radius of two hundred meters, and does not dare to come to the shallows, so the range is greatly reduced. And he suspects that the sea creatures use the shipwreck as a nest, and in order to survive, they must go out to hunt for prey on the bottom of the sea, but there must be guards in the nest.
Hearing this, I roughly understood what he meant, that he was going to dive to the bottom of the sea again. I want to say I don't agree, the memory of him and Zhuang Yu going to the sea that day is still fresh, after going for so long, waiting for a heavy heart, the most important thing is not to look at them so much, but when they came up, their faces were obviously whiter than usual. Looking at the others, Yang Wenhao's eyes were dilated, the crew was unconscious, and some even stayed at the bottom of the boat. All of this undoubtedly indicates the danger of entering the wreck.
But I have no reason to object, because it is a matter of life and death for everyone. If the ship's supplies are only enough to supply the sailing trip, there will be at most one more month of reserve, that is to say, it can last for three months, and we have been sailing for one month, and the remaining supplies are only two months, this isolated island is bare and nothing, there is no life around the sea, and the signal with the outside world is also interrupted, how can we survive?
The most important thing is that if the blood witchcraft is not removed, it is difficult to ensure that the people on the ship will not have an accident, and in the past two days, there have been many people who have been irritable, and there have been many disputes and quarrels, which is not caused by the predicament, but the invisible resentment in the nerves of the dominant person, making people irritable. At present, Zhuang Yu can still control it with his usual deterrence, and this situation will become more and more intense in the future.
After hesitating again and again, he finally made a request to Sheng Shiyao and took me with him. I was going to persuade him to break his mouth, but I didn't expect him to nod his head in agreement after only a little groaning, which was really much surprising to me.
I saw that he said with an unmoved brow: "If you don't let you go, you will sneak into the water and follow, so it is better to follow me at ease." Moreover, you are going to learn to dive, and you will use it in the future. I'll teach you how to control your breathing underwater for the next two days. ”
Sheng Shiyao really didn't break his promise, he really taught me to dive, I listened carefully to every command he said, but diving is really not an easy task, it is different from swimming, the rhythm of breathing is very strict, the most important thing is that people who dive to the depth for the first time, the heart and lungs will not be able to stand it, and feel abnormal chest tightness. No wonder he said he was going to let me learn for two days, the first day to get used to deep water diving, and the second day to train to control the breathing rhythm.
This underwater breathing is also very important, because the oxygen carried is limited, and you can't breathe hard, which will accelerate the oxygen consumption, and you won't stay long underwater. I also had to keep an eye on whether there was any leakage of oxygen and keep an eye on the number of watches, which were actually difficult to grasp in a short period of time, but I was like cramming and forced myself to memorize.
When it came time to take action, I found that it was not acting alone, Zhuang Yu brought several people, Yang Wenhao was normal in the list, and even Jian Ningyi was there, which surprised me. However, when I was learning to dive two days ago, I did see Zhuang Yuyou teaching her, and I thought that his thoughts were the same as Sheng Shiyao's, and it was better to keep her on the boat alone, so it was better to take her with him. Especially Zhuang Yu also experienced a panic when he thought that Jian Ning had fallen into the deep sea, and he was even more worried about her alone.
They have this consideration, and they should be sure of this trip, so I estimate that after the blood fall was devoured by the underwater creatures, it was not so powerful. But don't dare to take it lightly, in short, everything is careful. On our side, Zhou Tong and Liuzi naturally accompanied them, and the injuries of the two of them were almost healed after two days of recuperation.
After counting, there were ten people who were going to dive this time, but they drove five kayaks, because three of them were going to be equipped with diving equipment, and I noticed that in addition to the oxygen tanks, one box was also transported to the kayaks. Now that the wind and waves are calm, the kayak is moving steadily, and soon it will reach the water, the wetsuit has been changed before, and he began to carry the oxygen tank to prepare to enter the water, but when the preparations are all done, Yang Wenhao opened the wooden box and his eyes were gathered.
Zhou Tong shouted first: "Good guy, with such a good equipment, I would have said it earlier." After speaking, he consciously stepped forward and waited to take the ...... from Yang Wenhao's hands It's a weapon, I'm not sure, it looks like a gun, but the head looks like a bow and arrow. Later, from Zhou Tong's conversation with them, I learned that the name of that thing was "Fish Arrow", which was specially designed to deal with fish creatures on the bottom of the sea, and it shot a needle arrow about an inch long, with a strong anesthetic on it, as long as it was shot, no matter how ferocious the animal was, it would immediately be stunned and have no attack power. There are twenty rounds in total, and you can shoot them in bursts by simply pulling the trigger.
Zhou Tong also secretly told me that this kind of "fish arrow" is not only effective against fish, but also against any animal on land, and many people who hunt wild animals in the forest will use similar weapons, but they are by no means the high-end we have in our hands. So he was amazed when he saw this thing, and decided to wait for this time to be over and quietly hide it.
These are all things he said in my ear, Sheng Shiyao ignored us, checked the device after taking the fish arrow, and then inserted it into the strap around his waist, I immediately learned from him, tried how to shoot, and the protective zipper was pulled, and it was also rested in the most convenient position on the waist. With an advanced weapon, as well as Shadow Moon, equipped with two, I have the bottom of my mind now. In addition to giving each person a "fish arrow", Yang Wenhao also issued a delicate underwater flashlight, which is said to have a range of 20 meters, just in case of preparation. In the end, he took out two metal boxes and handed one to Sheng Shiyao, which should also be something useful.
I couldn't help but take a look at Zhuang Yu, he had made all the preparations for this diving trip. Zhuang Yu immediately looked at him sensitively, looked at each other, fixed for two seconds, and I quickly turned my head, I always felt awkward about him, especially ...... Sheng Shiyao said that two thousand years ago, the king of Dian had hired Ningxia, and he felt even more weird. There is an inexplicable intuition that Ying Ning's intersection with him is not only that, but also many memories of Ying Ning are floating in the deepest part of my mind, and I don't know when I will be able to fully awaken.
Collect distracting thoughts and return to the business in front of you, a few people have already gone into the water, Zhou Tong also sneaked in front of Sheng Shiyao as a pathfinder, I followed Sheng Shiyao into the water, and the sixth son followed me. Needless to say, it must have been arranged intentionally by Sheng Shiyao, and I was protected layer by layer. After diving down to a depth of more than ten meters, I didn't dive again, and began to swim forward, Sheng Shiyao was always more than two meters away from me, neither fast nor slow.
It was already close to the wreck waters, so it didn't take long to see the ship, even if he had heard Sheng Shiyao's description before, he already had a rough imagination of the wreck, but it was still not as shocking as he had seen it with his own eyes. The shipbuilding industry of the Ming Dynasty is really second to none, after more than 500 years, the whole ship can be regarded as complete, and it is really seen the scale of the ancient official ship, standing at the bow position, the lamp on the top of the diving lens can not see the stern. The cabin has two floors, the shape is simple, the top of the ship is sharp, I don't know what pierced our ship before, it should have been killed by Sheng Shiyao and Zhuang Yu.
Before I even entered the ship, I felt an eerie aura, and I was still depressed. Several people who had launched in advance were waiting at the bow of the boat, and no one rushed in first, so I rowed hand and foot together and swam to Sheng Shiyao's side. Needless to say, at the bottom of the sea, we must have listened to his command, and we all communicated intensively before entering the water, which gesture represents what meaning.
