As the water level in the ruins dropped, a submerged ruins of the ancient city in the distance were exposed, and the city rose from the mountain, and thousands of years of time did not seem to completely destroy it, and its general pattern was still preserved from a distance. Behind the city was a line of yellow and red smoke drifting on the horizon, and Shirley Yang and I watched the wreckage of the stone pillar for a long time, and we both felt that this underground sea was strange and strange, and the road ahead was unpredictable.

I thought to myself that all I was sucked into by the sea eye were the wreckage of buildings on the surface of the sea, and that there would never be an entire ancient city in it, unless it was built here itself, so I casually said to Shirley Yang: "How can the ancient city of hating heaven be under the eye of the sea?" This place is really hidden enough, if there is no traitor to lead the way, you may not even be able to find the devil. ”

Shirley Yang frowned slightly, looking at the ancient city on the sea as if thoughtful: "When I was a child, I heard an old captain tell the legend of a giant whale engulfing the city, and since then the people in the ancient city have lived in the belly of the whale, but when you look at the terrain in the ruins, it seems to be like the belly of the whale, the wonder of heaven and earth creation, it is really hard to think." According to the ancient books, as soon as you enter the ruins, you will see the walruses gathering and scattering with the yin wind, like a boat and a whale burying in the Stygian Sea, the rudder is lost, the water is boundless, and I don't know what to do. Although this description is not entirely accurate, it is immersive, like being in the chaotic and empty Stygian Sea, which is somewhat consistent with what ancient geographers said. ”

Listening to Shirley Yang's words, I realized that the terrain here is indeed like in the belly of a giant whale, and in the ruins in the sea, there may be the secret of the ancients candle-shining turtles. I forgot for a moment that my boat was damaged and I was stuck in the middle of nowhere, and I wanted to go over and find out, but I also knew in my heart that it was very inappropriate to do so. There are several uneven sea eyes in the strata overhead, and the high heat contained in the yin fire makes these holes in the sea bed produce a violent deep and non-rotating hot wind, like a geothermal gush, blocking the sea water from falling. However, once the condensed sea air forms the climate, the sea cave will once again sweep a large amount of seawater into the ruins below. We can't tell how long this phenomenon will be intervaled, maybe a day or two, maybe a month or two, in short, sea holes are like a time bomb hanging in the sky, once the sea water leaks, then we are "human or fish". The immediate priority is to find a relatively safe area to rest before considering the next move.

Suddenly, a commotion on the boat interrupted my thoughts, and the fat man, Uncle Ming and others also saw the spectacle on the sea just now, and after being stunned for a moment, Uncle Ming said that the backpack containing Nanzhu was the net worth of everyone, how could the fat man, a rough man who didn't know how important to take? As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to take it back and take care of it personally, but the fat man raised his arm and made a gesture to smoke Uncle Ming, so scared that Uncle Ming didn't dare to say anything more. Seeing that he was so prestigious, the fat man couldn't help but get proud, and with a big roar, he carried his backpack casually, turned around and went to command Gu Chai and Duo Ling, and carried the injured boat boss Ruan Hei, ready to abandon the lifeboat on board.

At this time, due to the gradual receding of the water of the ruins, the Trident, whose hull was damaged, was stranded on a gray boulder relief after leaking, and there was no worry about being buried under the water for a while. However, the hull of the ship was tilted to the side, which brought a lot of inconvenience to the movement of the people on board. Gu Chai and Duo Ling first moved Ruan Hei to the ruins and stone slabs under the boat, and then cooperated with Uncle Ming to drag the rubber life raft into the water, while the fat man carried all kinds of emergency equipment to the boat one by one.

When carrying a set of scuba, the fat man just landed on the stone slab, but the stone wall had been soaked in the sea water for a long time, and it was covered with a lot of reef-building creatures and reef-loving creatures, slippery and tight, and he could not step on his feet steadily, so he immediately fell on his back, and the cover of the backpack on his shoulder was scraped open by the broken stone sleigh, and a few beads contained in it slid into the water, and a few fine lights were very dazzling. The fat man quickly got up and went down to the water to pick it up.

The ruins in the water collapsed and piled up irregularly, and the huge bronze statues and shipwrecks formed a gap between the ground, like countless ditches crisscrossing the ground. The fat man saw that there was no sign of a shark swimming in the nearby water, so he went to the waist-deep water to touch Nanzhu who had fallen on a rock. Nanzhu shines a hundred steps, the lights can be turned off, and it is not difficult to find it if it falls in the shallow water, but I can see it clearly on the stone pillar in the distance, only to see that the fat man has just picked up the pearl, and the water is tumbling more than ten meters in front of him, revealing a dark black fish back the size of a table of eight immortals, and the fish spine is upside down like a sword, and he went to the fat man.

I didn't know what kind of evil fish was in the water, but I hurriedly shouted to the fat man to be careful, there was something in the water. On the boat, Gu Chai and Duo Ling and others also saw it at the same time, and shouted one after another: "Sea monster! Sea monster! "I picked up the speargun and shot it at the surface of the water, and where the arrow fell, it had no effect on the thick skin scales of the evil fish under the water, but it was only slightly hindered by the momentum. Seeing that the situation was not good, the fat man grabbed Nanzhu and crawled back from the water to the ruins behind him.

On the surface of the water, the dark fish ridge swam close by half a step, and suddenly sank to the bottom of the water and disappeared. We were all relieved to see the fat man escape, the fat man touched his ass and was still there, and he didn't care about the danger he had just faced, so he stuffed Nanzhu back into the backpack, and he learned to be obedient this time, and tied the buckle on the backpack into a dead knot.

Shirley Yang reminded the people on the boat not to let their guard down, and then turned around and asked me, "Old Hu, did you see what the sea monster in Qingshui was just now?" ”

I saw her solemn expression, so I didn't dare to talk nonsense, just a little far away, the evil fish only showed a black back, I really can't tell which kind of evil beast in the sea it is, but look at its size, maybe it's not a large shark? But how can a shark's spine be so wide?

Shirley Yang said: "There is a kind of orca in the ice sea, very fierce and cruel, not only can hunt smart dolphins underwater, but also can break through the ice from the bottom of the sea, swallow people or seals on the ice, there is a similar sword spine whale salamander in the South China Sea, the body size is smaller than the orcas, wide mouth, black back sword spine, abdomen is flattened, but also good at hurting people in the water, can directly jump out of the sea to drag the sailors on the boat into the water, and the orca is the same name as the sea butcher, known as the killer whale salamander." I see that the back of the vicious fish just now is very similar to the deep-water killer whale salamander, if there is a sea monster like zài in the water, we will be too close to the surface of the water in the lifeboat, which is very dangerous. ”

We hurriedly told the fat man, Uncle Ming and others to keep them out of the water as much as possible to prevent the whale salamander from coming out of the water and hurting people. The fat man and the others had already lowered the lifeboat, and the injured boat boss Ruan Hei was also carried to the side of the boat, ready to abandon the boat and pedal the boat after moving things, seeing that the situation had changed, they had to go and carry the wounded away again, so as not to be attacked by sea monsters too close to the water's edge.
