Chapter Twenty-Three: The Trolls of the Deep

Hearing Liang Ruoyi say this, everyone gathered around again: "What's wrong?" ”

"According to what the Seventh Master said, there should be a cave with a large area down here." The Ice Beauty said unhappily: "But according to the data of this detector, not only is there no hole in the ground underneath, but there is also a very hard substance. ”

"Hard?" The seventh master shook his head slightly: "No......"

After that, the seventh master reached out and felt an iron thorn from the small bag behind his back, the thickness of his index finger, about two feet long, held it in his hand, and gently pulled out a hidden section inside, so that the length increased to about half a meter, and then inserted it towards the bottom of the sea, and he heard a muffled sound of "poof", followed by a "ding" sound, the iron thorn seemed to have pierced something hard, and the seventh master moved twice, but he couldn't stab anymore.

"It's really ......" The seventh master looked dazed: "Is it an ore?" Or what? ”

I kept staring at the bottom of the sea under my feet, and when the seventh master spoke, the place where my searchlight shone suddenly moved, and I was stunned for a moment: because the appearance of the seabed is much the same, and my searchlight can only shine on a small part of it, I think it may be because of the change in the light of the searchlight and dazzled me, so I don't feel wrong.

"Coal?" The second uncle said softly: "This is the offshore sea, I can't think of any other ore, if it is buried underneath, according to Miss Liang, the area is very large, at least not much smaller than this basin, so it can't be an ordinary stone." ”

As soon as the second uncle's words fell, I suddenly felt the seabed in front of me move again, and now I was almost sure: a seaweed that was originally on my left hand side had unconsciously moved to my right hand side!

"Seventh Master!" I turned my head to look at the Seventh Master: "There's something down here, don't you notice it?" ”

The seventh master had already taken the opportunity to pull out the iron thorn just now, and when he heard me ask, he shook his head slightly: "What is it?" ”

I reached out and pointed to the iron thorn in his hand, motioning for him to stab again.

The seventh master was a little suspicious, glanced at me, or reached out and slowly stabbed the iron thorn again.

Just like last time, this time it was also a "ding" sound when it was halfway stabbed, and it couldn't be stabbed.

The seventh master glanced up at me, and was about to speak, but the iron thorn made a "squeak" squeak, as if the iron thorn was scratching the metal, which really made people get goosebumps all over the body!

The Seventh Master subconsciously slammed his force and stabbed the iron spike downward, but what he didn't expect was that the iron thorn quickly tilted to the side with the movement of the seabed!

"Beware!"

The second uncle shouted, and the seventh master hurriedly put the iron thorn back, and at this moment we found that under the silt at the bottom of the sea, there was a huge thing moving, as if it was moving to the other side.

And under our feet, we can clearly feel this movement, that feeling, like a piece of cloth under our feet, is being quickly pulled away!

"What's that?" My eyes widened: "Crustal activity?!" ”

"Impossible!" Liang Ruoyi immediately dismissed my opinion: "Such a violent crustal activity has already caused a corresponding disaster, and this is not crustal activity at all!" ”

After a few seconds, the feeling was gone.

"No, no......," I muttered, "It's all right......"

"Who knows if there's anything going on...... Second Uncle shook his head slightly: "What is it down here?" ”

When the second uncle asked this, he turned his gaze to Liang Ruoyi, and it was obvious that he hoped that the detection and locator in Liang Ruoyi's hand could detect some clues.

"Something is abnormal......" Liang Ruoyi had actually been staring at the detection locator in her hand before, and when she saw the second uncle asking her, she said in a low voice: "The fluctuation of the curve, according to my previous experience, should be a living creature below." ”

"Living creatures?!" I was so shocked that I almost bit my tongue: "Really?!" Such a big living thing? Didn't that mouth eat us? ”

"Living creatures?" The seventh master frowned and looked at me and the second uncle: "Did you two think something was abnormal just now?" ”

I reached out and touched the back of my head, and shook my head at the seventh master and the second uncle, and the second uncle immediately waved his hand and said, "No, it doesn't look like it's an evil thing, it's so big, could it be a fish?" ”

"Probably not." The Seventh Master groaned: "That kind of fish, will have such hard skin? This iron thorn of mine is not an ordinary material, and the tempering technique is also extremely peculiar, so sharp that it can't even pierce it, and it is estimated that this living creature is not even afraid of ordinary grenades......"

"Giant Beetle?" My extraordinary imagination began to unleash: "Could it be the Great Knower of the Bottom of the Sea?" I remember there was an episode in Ultraman that was like that. Otherwise, it's ......"

"Smack!"

Although it was at the bottom of the sea, Liang Ruoyi still slapped me hard: "Do you want to order something good?" I also know the bottom of the sea! Also giant beetles! Why don't you say it's aliens?! ”

I snorted: "It's possible!" How could I not have thought of it! ”

The ice beauty was about to fight, and the seventh master waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this for now, I feel that the tide is coming!" ”

I glanced at the time, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and according to my previous inference, the ebb tide was indeed about to begin.

We are all a little tired at the moment after not eating for nearly a dozen hours, and if it weren't for those vitamin drinks, we would definitely be even more uncomfortable now.

At this moment, the tide is about to fall, I can't help but get nervous in my heart, and the seventh master reconnects the ropes around our waists: "When the tide is falling, we may be in the center of the undercurrent, and a hole may appear nearby in a short time, we only have a short time to use, we must be cautious!" ”

Everyone nodded, stopped in place, the searchlight in their hands kept looking around, and after a few minutes, several undercurrents appeared obviously, and the sound of "boom" was heard again in the distance, and it seemed that those boulders had begun to move.

At that moment, the mud beneath our feet was lifted, and a large amount of sand muddied the water, and we were already trying to stay where we were, because this was probably the closest place to the hole!

The light of several searchlights was shining messily, and in a trance, we all saw a huge black shadow flashing from a distance of more than a zhang, because of the sea sand, we couldn't see what it was at all, but the volume of this thing, it looked almost a two-story building, which really frightened me.

At this time, there was no time to think about what that thing was, and with a loud "poof" sound, it disappeared into the silt of the seabed again, and the sea water around us suddenly began to flow rapidly, and soon a huge whirlpool formed not far from us!

And in the distance, we can already see the boulders coming!

"Go with the water!" The seventh master shouted, everyone didn't have to work too hard, as long as they stabilized their figures, with the rapid rotation of the water, about a few seconds later, we came to the center of the whirlpool, I shook in front of my eyes, hurriedly held my breath, and was swirled into the torrent with a "whoosh".

The powerful pressure of the deep sea made me suddenly feel a sense of suffocation, and my chest seemed to be pressed by a fast boulder, and after a few breaths, my body suddenly emptied, and I fell to the ground with a "poof"!

"Ouch...... Ahem! I grinned and coughed a few times, staggered to my feet, and when I opened my eyes, it looked very similar to the hole I had fallen into with my second uncle before.

"Look!" Liang Ruoyi didn't have anything to do, he didn't know what he found in the dark, and he snorted softly.

I hurriedly looked over and saw that there were countless huge scratches on the wall beside Liang Ruoyi, messy and sharp.

"Such a big ......" I stretched out my hand to measure, and in the light of the searchlight, every scratch, the narrowest point, exceeded the length of my forearm!

"This should be the living creature just now." The Seventh Master frowned and said, "It seems that there should be a hard shell on the body, or a hard shell with sharp edges, but such a huge volume is unheard of......

"If you extrapolate, the volume of this thing should be no less than that of the king squid of the deep sea." There was already a little fear in the second uncle's tone.

"Almost." The seventh master nodded: "It's just that I really can't think of what such a big hard-shell creature would be......"

"Leave it alone, rest first, and replenish your strength." Liang Ruoyi said while taking off his diving suit.

Everyone nodded, took off the diving suits on their bodies, and I packed up all kinds of equipment with the ice beauty, and the seventh master and the second uncle observed the surroundings while eating.

After Liang Ruoyi and I finished cleaning up, we suddenly felt tired, sat down on the spot, and started eating.

A few minutes later, the seventh master and the second uncle came back: "According to simple observations, this should be a spiral-shaped downward hole. ”

"Down?!" I was stunned: "We're more than 100 meters under the sea now, right?" Still down? ”

"Yes, it should be." The second uncle nodded: "This tunnel is about three zhang wide, because the air density is high, and there are impurities, so the light of the searchlight can't shine on the opposite side." ”

"Hmm." The seventh master said while holding a searchlight to the opposite side: "We walked a little deeper, not far ahead, the slope began to slowly decrease, and the direction of the whole road also has an arc, it should be said that it is a downward spiral hole, similar to the whirlpool that swept us in." ”

"Is it possible that we will go along this road to the end, which is the Yin and Yang coffin?" Ice Beauty asked.

"Possibly." The Seventh Master groaned: "This place is completely naturally formed, or rather, it was formed by a strange geological movement in ancient times, there is no feng shui law to follow at all, and further down, it will be very dangerous." Another point is that we have not seen any traces of those Taiwanese people, these people seem to have disappeared out of thin air......"
