Chapter 3 Pyramids under the sea

The dhow slowly ran aground on the edge of the island, and Sophie and I jumped out of the boat. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The shore of the island is covered with green shrubs and coconut groves, which form a natural green barrier.

Sophie and I were afraid that there would be large beasts on the island, so we took our shotguns and survival backpacks, so we went into the jungle and headed deep into the island.

The island was small in size, no more than two kilometers in circumference, and Sophie and I walked through the woods on the shore to a depression, and I glanced at the golden compass in my hand, the pointer pointed forward, and I couldn't help but feel a thrill in my heart, the gate of time and space was finally about to appear.

In addition to the excitement, I couldn't help but speed up my pace.

The depression on the island is a meadow with countless wild flowers, and through this meadow is a small uphill slope, and we walk uphill to see a lake in the middle of the island appear in front of us.

The dark ~ black of the lake reflects the white clouds in the blue sky, which is a sign of extremely deep water.

Sophie and I stood by the lake and looked around, there was no other path around, this was already the center of the island, could it be that the gate of time and space was not at the bottom of the lake?

To test this assumption, I turned my back, and the hands of the golden compass in my hand instantly reversed, pointing behind me. I changed direction many times, and the results were all the same, the gate of time and space was in the lake.

Seeing this result, Sophie laughed, "Fortunately, we have diving equipment, otherwise it would be really troublesome!" ”

I nodded and smiled, but we still had to go back to the boat to get our heavy scuba gear. The depth of the island is not far, so it is not a problem to run again.

Back on the boat, Sophie and I put on our diving equipment and set off again, back to the lake.

In fact, it is a lake, but it is just a larger pond, because its diameter is less than fifty meters, but the depth of the water is terrifying, standing on the shore and looking down, the black water makes people have an inexplicable fear, and always feel that there is some unknown monster hidden under the water.

Sophie and I were dressed and ready to go into the water, and I wanted to go down to see it first, but Sophie firmly disagreed, on the grounds that I had no diving experience, and I couldn't rely on the quick knowledge alone, and she herself was a member of the diving club, so she had to accompany me to prevent me from dying before I got out of the school.

Despite my vows, Sophie argued with reason, and in the end I had to compromise.

"Are you ready?" Sophie asked me with a smile before putting on the oxygen mask.

I took a deep breath and nodded, "Ready!" ”

“ok,go!” Sophie leaned over and jumped straight into the lake with a pop.

I took one last look at the blue sky, then jumped on my own. Due to the weight of lead on my body, the dive went smoothly, and after the initial panic, my mind gradually calmed down and my breathing became smoother.

The water in the lake is actually very clear, but it will appear black because the water is too deep, and Sophie, who was one step ahead of me, has stopped more than ten meters underwater, and she seems to be waiting for me.

I dragged a string of bubbles and swam towards her with my flippers. When I came to her, I found that it was already the end. But Sophie pointed ahead, and saw that one step ahead of us was an underwater abyss. I took a step forward and looked down, and the abyss was bottomless and dark.

I couldn't talk underwater, so Sophie pointed to the abyss, I knew what she meant, it could be dangerous to go very deep below, so I followed her closely, so I nodded.

Sophie made a "go" gesture and left her place and swam into the abyss, and I hurried after her. To be honest, despite the fact that someone took the lead, I still had a fear in my heart, and this unfathomable situation made me feel too bottomless.

We dived dozens of meters deep, the light was insufficient, we turned on the diving lights on the head successively, two snow-bright light clusters instantly penetrated the water, illuminating a radius of dozens of meters, and now my heart settled down a little.

But beyond the light of the diving lamp, it was already pitch black, as if the two of us had fallen into hell.

Originally, I was worried that the water would be too deep, and there would be large fish under the water, but obviously my worry was unnecessary, and we dived all the way, not to mention fish, even plankton are rare, and the water here is too good to be better, not even the slightest impurity.

I don't know how long the dive lasts, probably not long, but I think it's been a long time. I peeked at the diver's watch on my wrist, which showed that the water depth was already 100 meters, and I was shocked when I saw this number.

But at this moment, a scene appeared below that stunned me, and I forgot about the depth of the water.

Under the illumination of the diving lamp, a huge bubble appeared under the water dozens of meters below, and this bubble was like a huge and boundless cover, covering a vague tall building inside.

As we continued to dive, the building in the bubble gradually became clear, it was a pyramid, not a South American pyramid, but exactly the same as the pyramid by the Nile in Egypt, it actually appeared more than a hundred meters underwater, which is incredible.

At this time, Sophie and I finally reached the bottom of the water, and the diving watch on our wrists showed that the water was a full 150 meters deep. The huge bubble is so close to us that we only need to take two steps forward and reach it.

We looked at each other, and then walked forward together, Sophie came to the bubble, reached out to touch it, but the outstretched hand directly penetrated the bubble, she took a step forward, and actually walked directly in, I saw this, and walked in too.

I had just passed through the bubble and my body suddenly became heavy, and I was unprepared and almost sat on the ground. That's when I realized that there was no water in the bubbles! The ground is dry rock, there is no buoyancy, and it is no wonder that the body is so heavy with diving equipment.

There is air here, I don't know if people can breathe, I tried to open the oxygen mask, and suddenly I smelled an ancient breath, although the air in my face was not fresh, but it was indeed able to breathe.

I nodded to Sophie, indicating that everything was fine. Then all the cumbersome diving equipment on his body was removed, and the person suddenly felt relaxed, and he felt as light as a swallow.

When Sophie unloaded her gear, I turned on my dive flashlight and pulled out the golden compass I was carrying, only to see that the small pointer on it was pointing to the dark pyramid in front of me.

My heart throbbed, and finally, I was finally found, and my nose was sore, and I almost cried.

"There are pyramids one hundred and fifty meters underwater, what do you think of this problem?" Sophie looked up at the pyramid that had stood for an unknown number of years and couldn't help but say with emotion.

"This is not something that can be done by man!" Although I am not an archaeologist, I am also a highly educated person, and I still know the general knowledge.

Building a pyramid as high as 50 meters at a depth of 150 meters is a technology that is difficult for humans to complete now, and even if it can be built, how is this waterproof bubble that wraps all this made, it only isolates water, but people can easily pass through, what is the explanation?

"All this cannot be done by modern people, and even more so by the ancients," Sophie lamented, "and now there is only one possibility that can explain all this." ”

"Extraterrestrial civilization!" Sophie and I said it in unison.
