The Return of the South China Sea Chapter 26 Return to the Ruins
The falling body suddenly hit a very hot air current, and the falling momentum suddenly decreased, but the temperature of this hot air was extremely high, and it was suffocating for a moment, just a moment later, the water in the human body would be washed away by the hot wind, and it would be dried into a dry corpse, but suddenly the body was cold, but the body had fallen into the water, I poured a few mouthfuls of seawater, and found the figure of Shirley Yang underwater, she was familiar with the water, and she did not lose her mind when she fell into the water, we all choked on the water, and we had no time to think about why we fell here, and hurriedly split the water and floated up.
As soon as the head came out of the water, he immediately coughed a few times, opened his mouth and breathed the air on the surface of the water greedily, opened his eyes and looked around, as far as he could see, it was all cold and bright light, but it was not the moonlight in the sky, we were probably sucked into the sea eye, and this sea eye is a bottomless pit in the submarine mountain range, what is amazing is that the surrounding is all boundless sea water, as if in an underground ocean, the top of the head is bulging, the saga hangs upside down, Vientiane Luomu, the sea eye with a diameter of several miles
More than ten meters above, there is a chaotic hot wind condensed, has blocked the sea water of the coral spiral, the sea seems to be under a mysterious force to keep its secrets, after sucking the ship into the sea hole, and immediately erased the traces of the sea drain trap, if not falling into it, it is difficult to find the secret realm of this double sea.
I tread water with both feet, and it was difficult to recover from the dizziness of the whirlwind for a long time, and I looked back to see that the Trident also fell on the water not far away, and the hull was broken with a few large holes, and it was slowly sinking, and the sea willow boat itself had sixteen small water storage compartments, and a leakage of the hull would not affect the navigation at all, so it can be seen that now the hull has been broken, and I have to choose to abandon the ship, and the people on board have fallen not lightly, and the fat man is pointing at Gu Guess to drag the injured from the leaky cabin to the deck.
The fat man saw me and Shirley Yang swimming out of the water, first relieved himself, beckoned to us again and again, maybe let us swim back to the boat, help carry things and put the lifeboat, I was about to go over, Shirley Yang suddenly pulled me in the water, I followed her gaze, I couldn't help but gasp, only to see the body of the sea snake that had been broken and dead coiled on the side, next to the corpse of the calm water surface exposed a few shark wings, like close to the surface of the water to launch a fishing mine, through the water waves, is quietly and quickly approaching us.
Shirley Yang and I have never carried turtle repellent agents, it is not trivial to encounter sharks in the water, in this underground sea, the sea surface reveals many protruding brick pillars and bronze figures, probably the remains of ancient times on the seabed, sucked into this place by the eyes of the sea, some parts of the water are exposed, and the underwater is layered like ruins. These huge coarse selenium stone pillars have been washed by the falling sea water all the year round, and most of them are surrounded by the area directly below the sea eye, fortunately when we fell into the water just now, we didn't hit our heads, otherwise we would have broken our heads and died in the water.
Seeing the shark approaching in the water, Shirley Yang pointed to me in the water, where there was a huge bluestone pillar, obliquely submerged under the water, only revealing an oblique angle more than two meters high, which could be used for temporary shelter. The shape is urgent, and how can it be considered more. I immediately swam with her and climbed up the pillar, and we drew our diving knives at the top of the sloping pillar. In case the shark suddenly jumped out of the water and hurt people, and shouted loudly, so that the fat man and others on the boat paid attention to the movement on the water.
Shirley Yang saw the shark wandering around the stone pillar at his feet, and the Trident over there was completely finished, although he was swept into the abyss under the sea cave, he did not die, but the ship sank, and only two rubber lifeboats survived in the vast sea, but it was not easy to say, and it was difficult to say whether he could return to the real sea, and he couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Old Hu, I look at this time...... We're out......"
I saw that the current situation was really a troubled city, there were so many sharks, I wanted to swim through the water to meet everyone on the boat, and I could only wait for the fat man and others to row a lifeboat to meet us, and I saw from a distance that the five people on the boat were moving, and it seemed that they were injured and not strict, at this time, I heard that Shirley Yang was worried about the current situation of the group, so he persuaded her: "From the very beginning of going to sea, I felt that things were too smooth, and it was too easy to make people paralyzed. They are all about to be carried away by the victory, and it is okay to put it to death and live later, which is what we are used to dealing with by Captain Jin, where do you think this place will be? ”
Shirley Yang raised his eyes and looked into the distance, this ocean of water, its breadth and depth are unknown, and I don't know whether it is a lake or a sea, but the water here should be seawater, when it was sucked in by the sea eye just now, if it was not blocked by a burst of heat, the power that fell from a height of 100 meters was eliminated, otherwise it fell directly to the underground sea, even if it did not hit the stones of the ruins, it was similar to the force of directly hitting the cement wall, the sea eye seems to be a natural phenomenon with a time law, when the moon is full and there is a yin fire, The sea cave will leak down, but it will soon be re-closed by the heat flow rising from the ground, if it falls for a moment at night, the gradually increasing scorching air flow will also burn people and ships to ashes, but if it is a moment earlier, it will inevitably be swept into pieces by the turbulence in the sea cave, and the time of the fall can be regarded as unexpectedly immortal, which is also a miracle.
I thought to myself that I fell into the ruins and did not die, but it was not a miracle, if I picked the eggs and did not fall into the sea eye, but went back safely, that is a miracle, I fell into the ruins and could not get out, it was unlucky, but I didn't say this to Shirley Yang, I just told her, there is no sky in this ruins, but the stars and the moon are no different from the outside world, I think these are all caused by the southern dragon shape, the condensation of sea gas in the dragon veins produces the earth yin fire attached to the rock formation, it will produce this moonlight like water, the sea air emits the earth yin light like moonlight, The special light source illuminates the water of the ruins is dark green, but when you pick up the sea water by hand, the water color is still transparent, which shows that the sea water is too deep and reflects the dark green color.
Shirley Yang listened to the reason I said, but shook his head and said: "The water through the sea eye must be Guiru, according to legend, there were several cities in ancient times, and the inhabitants of them held the secret of dragon fire, the bronze civilization was very developed, but there were too few cultural relics and relics left in later generations, so that there were not too many scholars willing to admit that there was such a "lost country" that was good at refining bronze overseas, I think the so-called dragon fire in the remaining veins of the southern dragon should actually be a huge mine under the sea, The clear light we see now is like the moon, and the heat flow that seals the sea eye, all of which are caused by the effect of the ore layer, and this ruin is probably a mine cave.
I wondered, "Sure enough, the working class still has power, right...... At that time, it seems that there were no industrial workers, probably slaves and something, and they could dig such a large mine? "But then I thought about it, and I also felt that Shirley Yang said very reasonable, in that period when the productivity was relatively primitive, bronze was the country's important weapon, and it was the core material in the military, politics, economy, and culture, in order to pursue the high temperature of copper smelting, a large number of primeval forests were cut down at that time, such as a national treasure found in modern times, "Simu Wuding", to make such a copper tripod, the wood that needs to be burned, at least can cover a 10,000-year-old primeval forest in a large area of the Summer Palace in Beijing, maybe the so-called" "Dragonfire" is a special type of ore that is hidden in the rock formations of the seabed and can be burned in water.
I said to Shirley Yang: "The collapse of the islands in the Coral Spiral Sea may be related to the large-scale mining on the seabed, since we are stuck in a desperate situation called the sky should not be called, and the earth is not working, it is useless to stay here and complain about the heavens and people, and if you want to make a fortune and want to survive, you have to rely on yourself. ”
We discussed a few words, the plan has been decided, then beckoned the fat man on the boat Uncle Ming and others, as far as possible to row over to answer, but their actions on the Trident progress slowly, one is because the hull has leaked and tilted, it is more difficult to walk on the deck, and the other is that in addition to the necessary various survival equipment, it is necessary to bring all the green head goods in the bottom boat, and Ruan Hei seems to be injured a lot, it may be that the arm bone is broken, the fat man did some emergency treatment for him, and the broken bone is fixed with a clamp wrench, and the fat man's hands are not light or heavy, The pain was so painful that Ruan Hei fainted twice in succession, Duo Ling was wiping her tears and trying to find drugs such as painkiller anesthesia, and she didn't bleed more than her own head, and Uncle Ming wanted to drag the sarcophagus of the bottom boat up and take it away, but in the end, because of his weak strength, he only held the mermaid with the beads and the backpack containing the moonlight pearl and hurriedly climbed back to the deck, was hit by the fat man face to face, snatched the package over, and carried it on his shoulder.
I saw that the boat was in a mess, although it was a heart to help, but it was difficult to go over to help because of the sharks in the water, so I had to look at the water and sigh, hoping that the Trident would sink more slowly, maybe the sea water above my head stopped pouring in, and the water in the ruins was gradually falling, and there were more ruins of the ancient city exposed on the water, and the wreckage of countless shipwrecks and stone pillars, bronze people, and copper tripods gradually surfaced, and a gray mountain shadow was revealed on the horizon in the distance, as if there was an ancient palace valve built by the mountain, In our line of sight, the disturbance is like a mirage, far and near.
