Chapter 14: The Deep Sea

This is both true and false. The third uncle said. One is that it is indeed not good when rìrì is not good. Secondly. He also wanted to scare the serial scare. This is also the mentality of the game. If there is a brother in the family. I'm afraid I can understand what the third uncle thought at that time. The big ones always want to scare the small ones. to highlight your own bits.

However, unchaining is not a fool. Unimpressed. Just sneered and stopped talking. The third uncle was bored with himself.

The reef is not large. Several outcropping reefs stand out. I don't know where the hole is. But it's not too hard to find. Untie the chain rowing. The third uncle turned on the wind lantern. When you enter the reefs, you start searching. Soon it was underneath a mortar-shaped reef to the west of the reef. I found the entrance to the cave.

The entrance to the cave is about two people wide. Bottomless. It's like growing on a reef. Traces of previous polishing are faintly visible on the edge of the rock. Apparently the cave has been dug by hand. The entrance to the cave is hidden underwater. It is concave at the base of the reef. If not known in advance. It is simply impossible to see on the water.

The third uncle put on his equipment. I just want to get in. but was stopped by the unraveling chain. Say that the waterways below are complicated. He knows the way to go. Or it's better for him to be in front.

There is a point in that. The third uncle is not reluctant. So unraveling the chain of pre-entered holes. The third uncle followed.

Thirty meters into the hole. You can tell that this is a naturally occurring cavity in the reef. It's full of reefs. Mislocated coral reef rocks. It's like a giant's plate and bones. Embedded in the two walls of the cave. However, the end of the "plate bone". They all merge with the surrounding rocks. So it looks more like a myriad of weird sea cars. Adsorption on rock walls.

Underwater cave diving. Quite dangerous. However, the two had no experience. I didn't realize what I was doing at all. No measures were taken. I just kept swimming in.

About in a reef cave. The crawling march lasted for more than ten minutes. The third uncle saw the fork. Reef cavities develop around the reef like the tentacles of an octopus. There are passable openings everywhere. Some are shallow. You can see the head with a flashlight. Some are big and scary. There is no bottom in the hole as big as a liberation truck. Because there is no sunlight. There are very few anemones and corals here. But a lot of colorful little fish. as well as sea pans and sea cucumbers. So that this cave is not lonely.

Under the leadership of Unchained. The third uncle walked through this extremely complex system of huge reef caves. It's like a rat walking through a rat hole. In order to save a hand. He used his diving knife to carve marks at various intersections. so as not to create variables in it.

Half an hour later. They swim out of the reef. When the third uncle turned on the underwater searchlight to shine around. But I found that I hadn't entered any ancient tombs. appeared in front of him. It's an inexplicable party.

It was like a huge pit in the reef. It was pitch black all around. He looked up and saw a coral reef hanging overhead. But when he turned on the searchlight to shine under his feet. only to find that he could not shine anything. Beneath is an abyss. It's been a long time. No matter how terrifying the situation was back then. The third uncle can't remember all the details clearly. So he instigated for a long time. I don't understand where they ended up. In the end, I had to find a piece of paper. Make it difficult for him. Roughly draw it down.

The third uncle's painting is quite bad. More graffiti than graffiti. But. The meaning is concise and to the point. With my imagination and the third uncle's explanation. I'm even guessing. Gradually, I really got to know a little bit about it.

As I understand it. It was supposed to be a large, hidden cavern in the reef. Where exactly. There is no way to verify it. The exit of the reef cave where the third uncle traveled. Located at the very top of this cave. It was pitch black from beneath his feet. It's as if you've entered a black nothingness. The size of this cave should be quite impressive.

Third uncle, they arrived here. There is no way to move on. There was a void on the left and right ahead. Searchlights shine shè. There are a lot of white sè sea chips in the seawater. Below is the abyss. The flashlight shines out except for the reef behind it. There are no references left. In the third uncle's own description. It's like floating in outer space.

It's actually quite a bad feeling. Because you are no matter what side you are. What else can you get from your flashlight? You have at least a sense of presence. But there. Your flashlight shè out. There is no anti-shè. Except that black is still black. You don't know what's waiting for you ahead.

The consumption of oxygen at this time is also huge. Cave diving is different from a general expedition. It must be tightly controlled for the timing of the event. Because you have to keep some of the oxygen. Used to return to the outside of the cave. This requires the diver to check the oxygen meter from time to time. This is for the third uncle. It's quite a bit of psychological pressure.

However, the solution seems to be confident. After a few laps in the water. actually motioned to the third uncle to turn off the underwater searchlight.

There are no searchlights. That is absolute darkness. The third uncle felt strange in his heart. What does this kid want to do? There is no way out now. He's also going to turn off the lighting.

But look at the way he insists. Obviously, this approach is also indicated by foreigners. The third uncle knew that he had no other choice. So I followed the meaning of unchaining. Turned out the searchlight.

After both searchlights went out. Darkness invaded like ink. Meantime. A ring of glow-in-the-dark paint on the handle of a waterproof flashlight around their waist (that's to prevent night diving.) The flashlight fell to the bottom of the water and could not be found) slowly lit up. Indicate their respective locations.

Unchaining on the side. It seems that the flashlight has been removed. It is used as an indicator stick. The third uncle saw the aperture wave. Indicate a direction.

He looked in that direction. Vaguely. Sure enough, I saw the depths of darkness beneath my feet. Far away from the party. There is a large cluster of very faint green sè dots. It seems to be the eyes of a group of creatures. It's moving slowly.

The third uncle chuckled in his heart. Suddenly nervous. Because he's heard a lot of fishermen say it. Anything can be in the sea. This green sè eyes. It's not some creature lurking in the depths of darkness.

Thinking about my hand, I can't help but touch the knife. At this time. Xie Lianhuan on the side waved a few flashlights. The flashlight's indicator aperture began to move. It turned out to be towards the group of green sè spots.

The third uncle scolded in his heart. Don't look at his usual big grin. After that, the third uncle's style of handling things is actually very careful. Untie the chain and go on a rampage. It's just inappropriate. But unraveling such an action. Apparently knowing what those spots were. It was a gesture for him to follow.

The same. Cut and dried. The third uncle still doesn't follow. He couldn't help it when he was upset.

There are no lights. Dive with just a cold aura. People are like missing eyes. This feeling of melting in the cold darkness. The third uncle had tasted bitterness when he was under the throne before. Now again. And also underwater. The third uncle felt more and more uneasy.

The group of green spots is approaching little by little. But because the light is too weak. I couldn't see what it was. As it approaches. The third uncle was horrified to find that the spot was indeed moving. And it's not slow. The thought that it was a bunch of sea monsters grew stronger.

But the unraveling doesn't seem to realize it at all. Chase extremely fast. Soon. The two of them swam to a distance of more than 30 meters above the point of light. The third uncle's fear reached its limit. He rushed over. Hold on to the chain and don't let him get closer.

I don't know what's going on. I was also taken aback. Stopped.

The third uncle made movements with a flashlight. Unchained also waved his reply. But neither of them could understand what the other was trying to say.

The third uncle was very annoyed. I really want to turn on the searchlight right away and say so. But I'm afraid of such a close distance. In case it comes out of the light, it's really a shark or something like that. I really didn't even have a chance to escape.

When I was anxiously thinking about how to make Xie Lian understand what I meant. Suddenly, a white light lit up. Unchained unexpectedly turned on the searchlight. Apparently he was depressed enough. I really couldn't help but want to ask why the third uncle was holding him.

The third uncle was taken aback. While going to cover the light. While looking down.

The end of the white light. In the darkness below. Hazy. A white humanoid object wrapped in a tattered gauze was revealed. As the third uncle became more and more accustomed to the light of the searchlight. He saw more and more clearly. The pores all over my body shrank.

It turned out to be an ancient corpse suspended in the water. In an eerie pose. The face is blurred. The huge white sè gown resembles a giant jellyfish skirt. Drift in the water. Like a huge flower from the Netherworld.
