Chapter Ninety-Four: Returning in Vain

South China Sea merman! I was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered that Zhang Jia's sailing log did mention this matter, but I never imagined that the legendary South China Sea merman would be this murderous appearance, which was far from what I imagined. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

According to the records of the "Naturalist Chronicles" and the "Narrative of Differences", the South China Sea mermaids are actually the legendary mermaids, and they are no different from humans in all aspects except for a unique fish tail.

The mermaid has mild habits, likes to weave, and tears can bead when crying, and it is difficult to find a thousand gold. However, the record in the wild history is completely opposite, the mermaid has a ferocious temperament, likes to eat fish, and the oil on its body is very resistant to burning, and it is the best choice for making a 10,000-year-old lamp in the ancient tomb.

Because of this, the South China Sea mermaids were hunted down on a large scale, and thus became less and less common, so that by the time of the Han Dynasty, they were on the verge of extinction. After the Han Dynasty, the mermaids of the South China Sea have disappeared and become a legendary product, and future generations will never have the opportunity to witness it again.

The third uncle was no stranger to the rumors of the South China Sea merman, and he said with a slight surprise: "The South China Sea merman is extremely precious, how could it appear here for no reason?" ”

Ban Cuntou pointed around and said, "Is it precious?" We found no less than a hundred corpses like this, and there are many more in front of us, do you want to take some back to study? ”

Sure enough, we found dozens of dried corpses of sharks in the South China Sea, and the third uncle said strangely: "What does this king of Dian want to do, why don't you use sharks to make 10,000-year-old lanterns?" ”

Biaozi thought for a while and said: "Zhang Jia's sailing log said that the King of Dian didn't know what means were used, and he could order them, and now these things appear here, maybe they are used to guard the tomb." ”

The third uncle questioned, he said: "The merman is not a dead thing, there are nine forks here, how can you guarantee that they will not escape in the future?" ”

The third uncle is right, no matter what, the South China Sea merman is a kind of intelligent animal. Otherwise, they would not be called "shark people", in this case, this ancient tomb has been unattended for many years, how can we ensure that they do not run. And what about dying here?

Ban Cuntou said: "This is very simple, seal all the forks, and these mermaids will only be trapped here to guard the tomb." ”

The board tells us that although there are nine forks in the road, there is a lot of flowing water, but at the end of each fork. They all have a copper fence. The fence was made of arm-thick copper sticks, and the distance between the copper rods and the copper rods was no more than ten centimeters, let alone a person, even a slightly larger fish, it was impossible to enter.

However, the board head brought a lot of sharp tools, such as electric cutters, flamethrowers, chainsaws and other equipment, so the copper fence was ignored by him. It's easy to solve.

"I sent someone to check it, and there is not a single wound on these mermen, if I guess correctly, they starved to death because of lack of food." ”

I think this is normal, maybe thousands of years ago, there were a lot of fish in Dianchi Lake, and there must have been a lot of fish that entered the ancient tomb along the current, so that it was enough to feed the mermaids trapped here. However, the king of Dian will definitely not be able to calculate even if he calculates, with the destruction of water sources by human beings in the future, and the wanton fishing. There are fewer and fewer fish in Dianchi Lake, and naturally, the fish that have strayed into the ancient tomb have also greatly decreased, so that they can be greatly reduced. The tomb keepers trapped here will naturally starve to death.

The third uncle sighed that these precious mermaids actually died here in vain, but I felt very bad in my heart, maybe because the mermaids were also a kind of people, which made me feel sad for their fate, and at the same time thought of the fate of the scientific research team and others, how similar is that?

This cave is in addition to the corpses of more than a hundred mermen. There was nothing else peculiar, the third uncle sighed for a while and then stopped being nostalgic, and continued to go forward under the leadership of the board cuntou.

Directly opposite the cave there is a large waterway, which is the meeting point of the nine branches, and the water in it is so rapid that we all move hand in hand to avoid being swept away by the rapids.

There were no mechanisms in the waterway, and we walked very smoothly, about five minutes or so, and a circular stone chamber appeared in front of us. The stone chamber is about 100 square meters, all of which are made of dark cyan strip stones, and there are nine circular doorways on it, one of which is flowing out of a stream of clear water.

Bancuntou told us that behind the nine doorways, there are nine forks, but except for the one where clear water flows out, the other eight forks have been blocked by collapsed earth and rock, so now they are all dry inside.

We didn't have much communication about this matter, and under the leadership of a group of foreigners, we walked into the opposite waterway. The waterway has no slope and is very straight, and we walked for about ten minutes before a copper fence equal to the width of the fork appeared in front of us.

Sure enough, as the head of the plate said, every copper pillar on the copper fence is as thick as a human arm, and due to the age, a layer of copper flowers has arisen on the bronze, that is, patina. Two of the rods in the middle of the fence had been sawn off, and we could have walked there, but just then a blast came from behind the fence.

Since behind the copper fence is a stone staircase that curves, we have no idea what's going on there. Ban Cuntou seemed to know what was going on outside, raised the submachine gun in his hand, and said to the third uncle: "Third brother, it is estimated that the people above have captured it, we must be ready to break through at any time, when the time comes, you just go first, I will block you with my subordinates for a while." ”

The third uncle was not polite, nodded as a matter of course, and then looked at the members of the scientific research team with warning eyes, the meaning was obvious, I hope we don't play tricks at this time, of course, excluding me and Biaozi.

The foreigners brought by Ban Cuntou knew at a glance that they were usually well-trained, so they didn't need to be reminded by Ban Cuntou at all, they had already put the weapon in their hands and were ready to fire at any time.

The water in the fork in the road was rushed down from the stone stairs, and the water flow was very fast, and it was impossible for the board to speed up. Fortunately, over the years, a lot of sand and gravel have settled under the water, and when we walk up the stairs, we don't stop slipping under our feet.

There were only a dozen steps of stone stairs, and we quickly walked the whole way, and when we turned the bend, we found that behind us was a large waterway, and I had a vague feeling that this was the same great waterway we had come.

My guess was correct, and I only heard Ban Cuntou say: "Outside is the big waterway, which can lead directly to the big waterhole above, but when I came down from there, it was already occupied by the other party's men and horses, so now we can't go back the same way." ”

There are only two enemies of the third uncle, one is the Red Star Party, and the other is the group of the four elders in the family, and I secretly guessed that according to the previous practice, since the above sent a scientific research team over, then basically there will be no backup, so the "other party" mentioned by Ban Cuntou should refer to the people of the four elders.

The third uncle frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "You mean, our way out has been blocked, and now we are trapped here?" ”

Ban Cuntou shook his head and said: "Your fourth brother and I are not stupid, of course we will not allow such a situation to occur, if there is no accident, our second escape route has been opened, third brother, you just have to rest assured, there is still our response team outside." ”

The third uncle nodded thoughtfully, and then we walked into the big waterway and began to walk in the back direction. It is worth mentioning here that the big waterway must be circular because it is connected to the fork under the nine mountains outside, because the nine mountains outside are in a circle surrounding the tomb of the Dian king.

Since it is a circular passage, because of the existence of the arc, we can only see a place more than ten meters away, and if we are a little farther away, we can only see an arc-shaped stone wall. From time to time, there was the sound of bombardment in the depths of the passage, and it was estimated that the men who had remained at the entrance of the passage were exchanging fire with the men of the four elders. (To be continued.) )

PS: I was discharged from the hospital, but I was in a good mood, not only physically, but also psychologically, I thought I saw everyone's blessings, but I didn't expect to see some gossip, and some people on the penguin even said that I had a car accident, so my mood was very complicated, but I didn't want to be in good health. I didn't deliberately break the change, nor did I deliberately disappear, everything happens for a reason, those who are angry, please understand my pain, I really don't have the heart to do something sorry for everyone. It's late at night, I have to rest, from tomorrow, I will be idle at home, I still have to drink Chinese medicine or something, I can't sit here for a long time, but I will try to communicate with my family, and I can update every day. I'm sorry! Thank you also to those who blessed me, and to those who came to read the book during my absence, thank you!
