Chapter 21: Wonders of the Sea
Hearing the ice beauty say this, we hurriedly looked at it after stabilizing our minds, and we were all stunned: just a few meters below us, more than a dozen water drifters surrounded us at some point, with hideous faces and a fierce expression that wanted to tear us apart.
On the other side of the stone pile, the Taiwanese have also discovered us, but they are even worse, at this time there are only seven or eight people left struggling to support, it seems that if this continues, in a few more rounds, only the echo worm couple will remain.
"There is no chance of winning...... the seventh master said softly, while looking at the second uncle: "These water drifters are almost invincible in the water, and our current situation is almost nine deaths." β
The second uncle responded, turned his head to look at me and said, "Xiaorui, endure the pain, get some blood out of your wound and scatter it into the sea." β
I was stunned for a moment, and then I understood what the second uncle meant, and saw him take the dagger from my waist and slash it fiercely in the palm of my hand, and blood gushed out in an instant, scattering in the sea like a red ribbon......
I didn't hesitate any longer, reached out and pinched the wound on my left arm, gritted my teeth and squeezed it hard, and squeezed out the blood and scattered it in the seawater......
Those drifters had seen their companions die in our hands before, but they didn't understand how they died, and at this time, they saw me and my second uncle bleed, and after a few seconds, they suddenly retreated back like seeing the devil, and after looking at each other, they gave up on us hatefully and swam towards the Taiwanese!
"What do you see they're going to do?!" Liang Ruoyi suddenly shouted.
"It's broken! Hide now! β
Those Taiwanese seemed to have been beaten crazy, and once again took out a few grenades and threw them at the more than ten drifters in front of them, while they themselves jumped into the black hole blown out of the stone pile in a panic!
Damn, isn't this digging a pit to bury yourself - looking for death?!
"Boom-boom-"
After two loud noises, we who had already ducked back behind the boulder felt a strong impact, hurriedly stabilized our bodies, and swam out to see after the impact, and found that there were countless stumps scattered on the ground, including those Taiwanese and those drifting, and in addition, we could no longer see living objects.
"Those drifters should have chased in." The second uncle pointed to the black hole on the top of the stone pile and said, "Are these Taiwanese looking for death?" It is estimated that there are hundreds of drifters in there, and if they all live, the grenades of the Taiwanese will not be enough for them to eat. β
"What are we going to do?" I don't care much about Taiwanese people anymore, because now they are dead in my eyes.
"Wait." The seventh master said: "You take care of the wound and wait for the tide to rise." β
I nodded, and treated the wound with the ice beauty and the second uncle, and the time had come to more than nine o'clock in the morning.
We rested for a few minutes, and then we felt that the sea around us began to have an undercurrent, and the tide began.
"Avoid the undercurrents!" The seventh master said a word and tightened the rope around his waist.
In less than two minutes, the undercurrent had formed a certain size, and at ten o'clock the huge, boundless pile of stones began to crumble, and soon the topmost stones began to float with the undercurrent and rush towards the shore.
"When the basin reappears, we'll go!" The seventh master said: "We don't have much time, it is estimated that it will only be six hours, if we don't come out when the next low tide comes, we will have to wait for the high tide again, we don't have so many supplies in our backpacks." β
Everyone nodded, and watched with some nervousness as the countless boulders that had already floated with the undercurrent rushed towards the shore like raindrops.
Ten minutes later, there was a loud "boom" from the pile of rocks that had drifted away for more than half of the time, which frightened me: "Damn! Those Taiwanese again?! β
"Let's go!" The Seventh Master groaned and said.
At this time, there were already countless water drifters floating away with the boulder, and I followed the seventh master, the second uncle and Liang Ruoyi, carefully through the undercurrent and the boulder, and came to the basin.
The moment I saw everything in front of me, I was stunned: it was so shocking, the scene in front of me was like a picture in a doomsday game, the basin surrounded by boulders was unfolding in front of us little by little, and those heavy boulders were floating one by one with the invisible undercurrent of the sea, swimming away out of thin air, like a great magician casting a spell.
In the dim depths of the sea, the image was exciting, with the light of several searchlights shining in the basin, and when it felt like it was about the same, we rounded a few boulders and swam into the basin that had been vacated.
The basin looked like it was about five meters above sea level, and we slowly swam towards the center of the basin to the sound of boulders and undercurrents.
"The further in, the lower the altitude." Liang Ruoyi took the detection locator in his hand and said, "It should be about the same, about minus twenty meters." β
"Miss Liang, how big is this basin?" The Seventh Master asked in a low voice.
"Hmm-" Liang Ruoyi fiddled with the detection locator: "Now it seems that this is a basin similar to a circle, with a diameter of about seven kilometers, and it is definitely a basin in the near sea." It was supposed to be formed by geological movement plus the erosion of seawater. β
"Round?" The seventh master nodded: "The diameter is seven kilometers, which is indeed not small." β
A group of four of us is now slowly swimming along the bottom of the basin towards the center of the basin, and my body touches the sediment on the bottom of the sea from time to time, splashing up clumps of sand, and under the light of the searchlight, these deep-sea gravel glow with colorful light, which is very beautiful.
"Wait a minute......" The second uncle suddenly stopped everyone's footsteps.
"What's wrong, second uncle?" I looked at my second uncle suspiciously and asked.
"Don't you think it's a little weird?" The second uncle pointed to me and said.
I was stunned, looked at the mud and sand splashed under me, and shook my head: "No, what's strange?" β
"Mud!" Liang Ruoyi also realized: "There are so many boulders, it is impossible to be completely on the periphery of the basin, that is to say, the ground here should be pressed by the boulders, and the degree of adhesion should be very high, but why do we just skim lightly, and the sediment will be brought out?!" β
"There are only two possibilities." The second uncle continued: "Or, those boulder piles are floating on the basin; Or, after the boulders have drifted away, the sediment has been turned over. β
"Maybe it's an undercurrent!" I smiled bitterly: "The undercurrent takes away the boulders and stirs up the sediment here, you know, there will be such an ocean movement every six hours or so, and it is not impossible to cause such a scene......
"It's a little weird anyway......"
As soon as the second uncle's voice fell, I suddenly felt a chill in the back of my head, and subconsciously touched the back of my head: "It's not good, there's something!" β
"Water drifter?" Liang Ruoyi drew his short blade and looked around vigilantly, his face sinking like water.
At this moment, there are not many boulders left around the basin, and under the illumination of our searchlights, we can vaguely see the boulders in the distance continuing to rush towards the shore with the undercurrent, and other than that, not a single drifter can be seen, and the whole sea is silent, and there is no danger in sight.
"It's nothing...... I frowned and looked at it for a long time, the back of my head kept cold, but I didn't find anything weird.
As soon as the words fell, the bottom of the sea in front of us suddenly made a muffled sound of "poof", and suddenly the sea was densely sanded, like a big net covering us!
"Be careful, back off!" Liang Ruoyi exclaimed, I didn't come back to my senses, the rope around my waist suddenly tightened, I don't know who slammed back, dragged me back, stumbled, and simply sat on the ground, I felt a little soft, and was dragged backwards by the hook lock on my waist......
"Ouchβ"
I only had time to scream, but a black shadow appeared from the gray sand in front of me and rushed straight at me!
"! Look for death! "I was injured by a drifter before, but I also know that these goods are still afraid of me, and now I fell again, and I was immediately annoyed, and I didn't care that I was still sitting on the ground, so I pulled out the dagger and stabbed forward without saying a word!
But the target of the drifter didn't seem to be me, and when I was about to stab him, he tilted his body and pounced on my right side with a "poof", and I suddenly felt the rope around my waist stagnate, and hurriedly turned my head to look, and saw that this monster had a mouth open, and bit on the chain of the hook lock with a "cluck"!
No way! What kind of teeth is this monster?!
I didn't understand what this drifter was going to do, and after a few "clucks", my waist suddenly loosened, and I was shocked: it was broken, the rope was bitten by this bastard!
"Second uncle!" I screamed, twisted around, and rolled to the second uncle who was still entangled with me on the right, only to find out that the second uncle was entangled by two water drifters, and I wanted to stand up and go over to help, but my feet were suddenly stepped on the air, and a flower in front of me fell directly into the hole that suddenly appeared under me......
"Puff-puff-" I was washed into the hole with a stream of sea sand mixed with sea sand, and after falling to the ground, I didn't feel pain, but my mouth hit my helmet, and I vomited twice, and then I stood up in the darkness, and reached out to adjust the searchlight that had been knocked down, and let it light again.
"Xiaorui, are you okay?" It's the voice of the second uncle.
I turned my head to look at the second uncle standing beside me, panting and looking at me.
"Second uncle, what kind of place is this?" I looked around at the darkness and saw that there was no end in sight, and in the distance I could see some strangely shaped stones, and under my feet was the ground mixed with gravel mixed with sea sand, and I "creaked" when I took a step.
"I don't know." The second uncle also glanced around, and untied the rope around his waist: "No matter how much, the seventh master and Liang Ruoyi should be dragged in that direction, let's chase over and take a look first!" β
