Chapter Forty-Six: The Ancient Ding Iron Tree
I and the fat man, Gu Chai three, did not expect that the cave inside the vertical and horizontal is the same, like an ant nest, in addition to those corpses, there are countless live shark hidden in it, at this time the incident happened suddenly, but we still know that it is difficult to touch its edge, hurriedly holding the dead baby, swimming into a merman behind the bones of the tomb to hide.
I turned off the diving flashlight, held the "water sword" to guard the entrance of the cave, and blocked the cave with the remains of the mermaids in the tomb, the fat man and Gu Chai used sharp blades to hold the deep coral hole, feeling the water surging outside, it seemed that there were countless sharks swimming in the coral tree, I couldn't help but be secretly frightened, if I had to take half a step into the cave too late, I was afraid that I had been bitten by these evil ghosts on the bottom of the sea.
After the Qin and Han dynasties, the "shark people" on the sea are almost extinct, often separated by tens of hundreds of years, only the crew members occasionally see in the sea, it is said that because the "shark" fish are all female, and not to breed with eggs, but half eggs and half fetus, scientists can not explain how they have bred so far, only the fishermen and egg people have passed down all kinds of legends, the shark people are described as strange and lewd by nature, can go ashore and have sex with people, these are not believable.
In ancient times, "shark" is also a name of "shark", but this is probably a misunderstanding, "shark" looks ugly and hideous, has a forelimb similar to a human hand, from the Spring and Autumn Period, there have been people who have caught live shark to boil lamp oil, Westerners think that it belongs to a kind of "mermaid", in fact, "mermaid" is mostly in the East China Sea, the South China Sea is very few, but it can not be absolutely nothing, it is a four-legged fish that looks like a human, has a very long life, is agile by nature, can tread the waves at sea, eat its meat can cure all diseases, and prolong life, Much more precious than the "shark man" who only uses the lamp for fuel use, although the mermaid is rare and rare, but in modern times it is more common than the "shark", although no one has ever caught it alive, but it has been witnessed repeatedly, the genus of the shark scales has almost disappeared in the past thousands of years, but it is not expected that in this isolated coral cave, there are so many "shark people".
I covered the head of the diving flashlight and quietly illuminated the "shark" nests crisscrossing the depths of the coral cave, where only the scrawny sharks could shuttle back and forth, and the divers were not allowed to pass through at all.
The fat man thought he was very experienced, and made a gesture, telling us that it was better to use diving explosives to detonate, blow up a group of sharks, and then take advantage of the chaos to kill a bloody way back to the water, Gu Chai was caught by the mermaid on the arm, leaving five blood marks, he was holding a nameless evil fire in his heart, and when he saw this, he was going to take the knife out to catch a live shark, and stab it with a white knife into the red knife.
I slapped Gu Chai on the head and told him not to go out and die with brute strength, even if you, the "dragon household", are covered in iron, how many nails can you crush? Then I took the explosives from the fat man's hand, and a bold plan gradually came to my mind, and I was about to act, when the corpse of the merman who suddenly blocked the entrance of the cave was suddenly pulled out by a huge force, followed by a black caries merman's head poked in.
I scolded as fast as I could, the "water sword" in my hand was handed out, the tip of the sword came out of the mouth of the shark, the coral cave was suddenly stained with blood, the beam of the diving flashlight was covered, I couldn't see anything, so I had to draw out the short sword, aimed at the hole and stabbed indiscriminately, I don't know if it was poked at a "shark" or on something else.
In the turbid water, but see the cold light, it turns out that the "mackerel" lives in the dark and cold water all the year round, just like those deep-sea fish, in order to adapt to the harsh living environment, or become extremely developed to the touch, or the eyes protrude and evolve, "mackerel" belongs to the latter, their eyes are all born protruding from the eye sockets, in the water like two natural luminaires, the ferocious light in front of the hole flashes, and there are several "mackerel" blocking the coral hole.
The three of us each held the sharp weapon of the ancient Tan people to slay dragons and mussels underwater, and with the narrow terrain, the "mackerel" that got into it were poked to death one by one, but oxygen and manpower have limits, and it is difficult to support it for a long time, and the number of "mackerel" around the coral tree fossils is too much, they are not like "sharks" will compete for food and share the corpses of their own kind, only love human flesh and human blood, and have gathered in the hole layer by layer, surrounded by water.
The fat man picked up the explosives I fell and wanted to detonate them, I saw his actions, and my heart couldn't help despairing, now it is called every day, the earth is not spiritual, I really can't imagine that the boat capsized in this gutter, but at this time I would rather use the explosives to die together, and carry a few "mackerel" on my back, than to be dragged out alive by them.
Just when the fat man just held the dynamite ingot, suddenly a shark jumped past me, pounced on Gu Chai, a person and a shark entangled in one place, hit the fat man, but knocked the explosives in the fat man's hand knocked down, "Dragon Hu" Gu Chai is extremely fierce in the water, just like most bloodthirsty and vicious water tribes, the more bloody, the heavier the evil in his bones, he used the "dragon arc" in his hand against the shark's mouth, the evil shark bit lifelessly, all bitten on the blade, the mandible was cut into several pieces, but still did not flinch, but pounced more fiercely.
I was using the "water dividing sword" to block the "shark" that came in from the entrance of the hole, and when I saw that Gu Chai was struggling by the evil shark that was injured in the mouth, I hurriedly stretched out my mouth and grabbed the bloodshot eyeballs of the shark man, and then pulled outward, and grabbed the entire shark eyeballs that protruded from the eye sockets, and grabbed out the tendons and flesh.
The "mackerel" couldn't stand it anymore, and jumped out in a hurry, but under its great pain, it scratched the diving bag that Gu Chai was carrying, its fingertips and claws, and with a stroke, it actually pulled the sealed bag open, and the stillborn-shaped remains contained in it fell out, although the blood and water around it were turbid, but the stillborn face twitched in the water, as if it suddenly came to life.
A large group of "mackerel" around the entrance of the cave, as if they had encountered some plague god, hurriedly avoided and fled, and immediately dispersed cleanly, I hurriedly grabbed the deformed fetus, and looked at each other at the bottom of the water with the fat man and Gu Chai three people, although wearing frog glasses, still could not hide the difference between the looks, "mackerel" is so vicious, even if the largest and most ferocious "dragon whale" in the deep sea collided with this group of evil ghosts, it had to be gnawed into the white bones, how to see these fetuses turn around and escape?
I couldn't stop beating wildly in my heart, looking down at the fetal shape in my hand, under the light and shadow of the water waves, it seemed to be alive and vivid, maybe the fetus formed by the eclipse of the moon has a kind of moon-breaking gas, the mermaid genus, all greedy for the essence of the bright moon, as soon as I saw these stillborns who were conceived by the moon-breaking eclipse sky, they were like encountering snakes and scorpions, and they were afraid to escape.
The underwater situation is complicated, I don't think much about it, anyway, now it seems that these three stillborn qualitative remains are the most effective "talisman" to prevent underwater spirits, and they can take this opportunity to dive underwater, looking for the so-called "Earthquake Ding", so the fat man and I also took out the fetus in the bag, and the three of them each hugged it and groped out of the coral hole.
With the escape of the "mackerel", the endless "ghost worms" in the water began to swim out in groups, this group of dark underwater elves, with the current of the water emitted a ** halo, the coral tree illuminated through the crystal dragon palace, the "ghost crab" never floated on the water, and there is no ordinary water tribe should be the moon, nor is it afraid of the deformed stillborn that we are holding, only tumbling around and dancing back and forth.
This time, we didn't dare to hold it up anymore, and dived straight to the bottom of the water, about ten floors and more than 30 meters deep, and sure enough, we saw a giant tripod trapped in the coral fossils, the diameter of this tripod is so large, compared to the submarine sacred tree, there are fossils of the whole coral iron tree born in it.
We approached the belly of the tripod, found that this giant tripod is a naturally generated stone basin-shaped boulder, which is covered with several artificial copper tripods, surrounded by dozens of giant chains of the thickness of old trees, all of which have not entered the depths of the vortex that is difficult to approach, I don't know if there has been a lock of any behemoth, I made a turning gesture to the fat man, and told him that this natural giant tripod, where does it look like a tripod, it clearly looks like a boulder turntable, and there are copper grooves and tripods in it, these things we have never seen and heard in our lives, not like a mechanism at all, It's more like a giant bonsai placed on the bottom of the sea.
I circled around the giant tripod for half a circle, and I didn't see any "shock" mark, and I didn't know where to put the three-month-old broken deformed fetal remains, at this time, Gu Chai who was following me, reached out and pulled my legs, pointed to the depths of the water for me and the fat man to watch, and through the light waves of the "ghost worm" fluttering, I saw a huge crack in the coral fossils at the bottom of the water.
This gap is wide and deep, like a deep stream, the water inside is black and vast, there is no half of the "ghost crab" into it, occasionally there are some strange fish turtles shaking their heads and tails to swim in, but all of them are in nowhere to enter, look at it for a long time, do not see any living creatures come out of the deep stream, the water there is all whirlpool, in the distance can feel a very strong suction, there is a big stone slab on the edge of the deep stream, can only be identified from the shape may be the remains of an ancient monument, what is carved on it has long been invisible.
I looked into the abyss beneath the rock formations of the fossilized coral and asked Guchai if he knew what it was. Gu Chai's comparison for a long time I and the fat man didn't understand, but the water there is too deep, people will be swept away by the turbulence as soon as they pass, I thought to myself that the place is where there are dragon bone remains, inside is dangerous and unpredictable, not to mention that there is no heavy diving equipment, it is difficult to go deep into it to explore it, now the first task is to find out the truth of this ancient Ding around, to see if it is a mechanism for the burial of ancient corpses in the sea, if we can really let the zombies surface the sea, we can also take the opportunity to follow, now the supply equipment is exhausted, life and death are all tied to this, He didn't pay much attention to the situation in the deep stream, and continued to observe carefully around the giant ding under the water.
In the coral forest fossils on the other side of the stone tripod on the bottom of the sea, there is a huge cave, I and the fat man and others snooped beside the tripod for a while, and we didn't find anything unusual, but Gu Chai had excellent eyesight under the water, and he seemed to be able to see something dark and wriggling in the hole, and even he felt that it was very dangerous and could not be approached.
The fat man and I saw that Gu Guess was frightened by the things in the cave, and it must be unusual, the three of them did not dare to move, and hurriedly turned over and swam into the ding, which was where the "ghost worm" light wave could not reach, so we had to use a diving flashlight to illuminate, and between the several bronze tripods around, there were all winches with copper trough chains, which seemed to be some kind of mechanism, but I didn't know how to use the start.
The fat man shook the stillborn baby in his hand and asked me where to put this Rausch? I looked around, thinking that these months of damage to the fetus, probably just to disperse the swarms of evil sharks underwater, not to put in this giant tripod, because there is nowhere to put it, this thing is light and fluttering, as soon as it floats up, the hated Tian clan is familiar with the habits of the water tribe, presumably the ancestors of the Tan people know the weakness of the "shark", otherwise with the danger of this underwater, who can come down and move this big ding, it seems that these three stillborn corpses, how do we hold it down, and how to carry it back.
When he ignored it, Gu Chai relied on his pair of goldfish eyes, found that there was something under the coral iron tree in the ding, gestured at us, and swam over first, the fat man and I were worried that he had a mistake, and wanted to call him back to act together, but he couldn't open his mouth, and wanted to reach out and grab him, the guy was slippery like a loach, and had already swam to the front, we had to grab the copper chain in the ding, and followed to swim under the coral tree.
There is a black rotten wood coffin locked under the iron tree, although the wood is good, but it has been corroded under the water, and it falls off piece by piece with a touch of my hand, I am more and more confused, the Qin and Han dynasties used stone coffins and copper coffins, and wooden coffins are very rare, but the wood is like a coffin, it is difficult to say whether it is a wooden coffin.
But the wooden box is as black as rotten carbon, the size of the body is just enough to accommodate the corpse of an adult, the long and rectangular one is very much like a coffin, without waiting for me to take a closer look, the fat man has already peeled off the muddy wood, and there is a corpse with a green body all over the body, and the three of them saw that the corpse was forced by the water waves, and it was as green as life, and they were all taken aback, how could there be such a thing under the water?
There is a layer of faint and faint green fluorescent light in the black wooden coffin, I hurriedly shone the beam of the diving flashlight, only to see that the rotten wood is wrapped in a bronze man full of green erosion, the shape of the bronze figure seems to be the "clothed corpse figurine" that is common in ancient times, that is, the tomb owner for some reason did not have the bones to bury the burial, often with gold and jade or bronze to create a human shape, wearing the tomb owner's crown clothes, placed in the coffin as a crowned corpse figurine to replace the deceased.
I fixed my mind, removed the rotten wood on the face of the bronze man, completely dismantled the ancient wooden plank, and then looked closely, and my heart was even more puzzled, it seems that this bronze man is not a "clothed figurine", because the "clothed figurines" can not be regarded as a "bright vessel" for the burial, its status is almost equal to the tomb owner, it has always been very noble, must be made to be strict eyebrows, the shape and etiquette are extraordinary, and it has always been rare, and now there is almost no one to see.
