The South China Sea Returns to the Ruins Chapter 46 The Ancient Ding Iron Tree

The fat man and Gu Chai and I didn't expect that the inside of the cave was criss-crossed, like an ant nest, in addition to those corpses, there were countless live mackerel hidden in them. It happened suddenly, but we still knew that it was difficult to touch its edge, so we hurriedly held the dead baby and swam into a tomb behind us where the merman hid his bones.

I turned off my diving flashlight, held the water-splitting sword at the entrance of the cave, and blocked the cave with the remains of the mermaids in the tomb. The fat man and Gu Chai used their sharp blades to hold the coral hole in the depths, and felt the water surging outside, and it seemed that there were countless mackerel swimming in the coral trees.

After the Qin and Han dynasties, the mermaids on the sea were almost extinct, and it was often tens or hundreds of years before the crew could occasionally see them in the sea. It is said that because mackerel are all females, and instead of breeding as oviparous, they are half-egged and half-fetal, and scientists cannot explain how they have bred to this day. Only the legends handed down by the fishermen and egg people describe the mermaids as having a strange nature and being able to go ashore to have sex with people, which is not believable.

In ancient times, the shark was also a name for the shark, but this is probably a misunderstanding, the shark is ugly and hideous, with forelimbs similar to human hands. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there have been people who have caught live sharks to boil lamp oil, Westerners think that it belongs to a kind of mermaid, in fact, mermaids are mostly in the East China Sea, and there are very few in the South China Sea, but it cannot be said that there is absolutely none. The mermaid is a four-legged fish shaped like a human, with a very long lifespan, a smart nature, able to walk on the waves, eating its flesh can cure all kinds of diseases, and prolong life, which is much more precious than the mermaid who only uses to make lamps and fuel. Although mermaids are rare and rare, they are more common than sharks in modern times, and although they have not been caught alive, they have been witnessed repeatedly. In the past thousands of years, the genus of shark scales has almost disappeared, but I didn't expect that there are so many sharks in this isolated coral cave.

I covered the head of the diving flashlight and quietly illuminated the shark nests crisscrossing the depths of the coral cave, where only scrawny sharks could shuttle back and forth, and divers were not allowed to go through guò at all.

The fat man, believing that he had a lot of experience, made a gesture and told us that it would be better to detonate it with diving explosives, blow up a group of mackerel, and then take advantage of the chaos to make a bloody way back to the surface. Gu Chai was grabbed by the merman on the arm, leaving five blood marks, he was holding a nameless evil fire in his heart, and when he saw this, he wanted to copy the knife and break out to catch a live shark, and stab it with a white knife in and out of the red knife.

I slapped Gu Chai on the head and told him not to go out and die with brute strength, even if you, the dragon family, are covered in iron, how many nails can you crush? Then I took the explosives from the fat man's hand, and a bold plan gradually came to my mind, and I was about to act, when suddenly the corpse of the merman who blocked the entrance of the cave was suddenly pulled out by a huge force, followed by a black merman's head poking in.

I cursed as quickly as I handed out the water-splitting sword in my hand, and the tip of the sword came out of the shark's mouth. Blood was suddenly pouring in the coral cave, and the beam of the diving flashlight was obscured. I couldn't see anything, so I had to draw my short sword and aim it at the hole and stab it indiscriminately, and I don't know if it was poked at a mackerel or something else.

It turns out that mackerel live in the dark and cold water all year round, just like those deep-sea fish, in order to adapt to the harsh living environment, or become extremely developed to the touch, or the eyes protrude and evolve. The mackerel belonged to the latter group, their eyes were all protruding from their sockets, like two natural luminaires in the water, and the murderous light in front of the cave flickered, and several more mackerel blocked the coral hole.

The three of us each hold the ancient times? The sharp weapon of slaying dragons and mussels under water, relying on the narrow terrain, poked the mackerel into it one by one. However, oxygen and manpower are limited, and it will be difficult to support them over time, and there are so many mackerel around the fossilized coral trees that they do not compete for food and share the carcasses of their own kind like sharks, but only love human flesh and human blood, and have gathered in layers at the mouth of the cave, surrounded by water.

The fat man picked up the explosives I dropped and wanted to detonate them, I saw his actions, and my heart couldn't help despairing, now it is called every day, the earth is not spiritual, I really can't imagine that the boat capsized in this gutter, but at this time I would rather use the explosives to die together, and carry a few mackerel on my back, than to be dragged out by them to be torn alive.

The fat man had just grabbed the dynamite ingot, when suddenly a mackerel jumped past me and pounced on Guchai. A man and a shark were entangled in one place, hitting the fat body, but knocked the explosives in the fat man's hand down, Long Hu Guchai was extremely fierce in the water, just like most bloodthirsty and vicious water tribes, the more blood he saw, the heavier the evil in his bones. He used the dragon arc in his hand to resist the shark's mouth, and the evil shark bit lifelessly, all biting on the blade, and the mandible was cut into several pieces, but he still did not flinch, and pounced even more fiercely.

I was using the water-splitting sword to block the shark that came in from the entrance of the cave, and when I saw that Gu Chai was struggling by the evil shark that was injured in the mouth, I hurriedly stretched out my hand and grabbed the bloodshot eyeballs of the shark man, and then pulled outward, and grabbed the entire shark eyeballs that protruded from the eye sockets, with tendons and flesh.

The mackerel couldn't stand it anymore and rushed outward, but under the severe pain, it scratched the diving bag that Gu Chai was carrying. It has sharp fingertips. 一襤祤uànmushroom芊獯pocket, no astatine silk 矗霸诶锩娴 nai lao バ Wei ÷ raccoon falcon to make trouble Qin Xuan lie bladder pull fishing ピ 谒忻婺 cut the road locust for the basis of the squirrel

The large group of mackerel surrounding the entrance of the cave, as if they had encountered some plague god, hurriedly avoided and fled, and scattered cleanly when they poured. I hurriedly grabbed the deformed baby, and looked at the fat man and Gu Chai under the water, although I was wearing frog glasses, I still couldn't hide everyone's surprised looks. The mackerel is so vicious, even if the largest and most ferocious "Dragon King Whale" in the deep sea collides with this group of evil ghosts, it has to be gnawed into white bones.

I couldn't stop beating wildly in my heart, and looked down at the fetal skeleton in my hand, under the light and shadow of the water, it seemed to be alive, maybe the fetus deformed by the lunar eclipse itself had a kind of moon-breaking air. The genus of mermaids with shark scales is all greedy for the essence of the bright moon, and when they see these stillbirths that are induced by the eclipse of the moon, they will be like encountering snakes and scorpions, and they will escape from it.

The underwater situation is complicated, I don't think much about it, anyway, now it seems that these three stillborn qualitative remains are the most effective talisman to prevent underwater fierce spirits, and I can take this opportunity to dive underwater to find the so-called Heaven-shaking Ding. So the fat man and I also took out the fetus from the bag, and the three of us each held it and groped our way out of the coral hole.

As the mackerel fled, the endless ghost crickets in the water began to swim out in droves again. This group of dark underwater elves emitted a halo with the current, illuminating the coral trees like a crystal dragon palace. The ghost clams never float to the surface, they don't have the nature of the ordinary water crescent, and they are not afraid of the deformed stillbirths we hold, they just tumble and dance back and forth around them.

We didn't dare to hold it up anymore, so we dived straight to the bottom of the water, about 30 meters deep, and sure enough, we saw a huge tripod trapped in the coral fossils, which was so large in diameter that it was not even a little larger than the sacred tree on the bottom of the sea, and there were fossils of the entire coral iron tree born in it.

We approached the belly of the tripod and found that this giant tripod was a naturally generated stone basin-shaped boulder, which was covered with several artificial copper tripods, surrounded by dozens of giant chains the thickness of old trees, all of which were not in the depths of the whirlpool, and I don't know if there was ever a behemoth locked. I made a gesture to the fat man, and told him that this natural giant tripod looks like a tripod, which clearly looks like a boulder turntable, and there are copper grooves and tripod vessels in it, which we have never seen or heard in our lives, not like a mechanism at all, but more like a huge bonsai placed on the bottom of the sea.

After half a circle around the giant ding, I didn't see any signs of "shock hexagrams", and I didn't know where to put the deformed remains of the three months. At this time, Gu Chai who was following me reached out and pulled my legs, pointing to the depths of the water for me and the fat man to watch, and through the light waves of the ghost worm fluttering, I saw a huge crack in the coral fossil at the bottom of the water.

The gap was wide and deep, like a deep stream, and the water in it was black, and not half a ghost worm entered it, and occasionally some strange-shaped fish shook their heads and swam into it, but all of them entered but did not come out. After looking at it for a long time, I didn't see any living creatures coming out of the deep stream, where the water was full of travel whirlpools, and I could feel the strong suction force in the distance. There is a large stone slab on the edge of the deep stream, which may be the remnants of an ancient monument from the appearance, and what is carved on it has long been unrecognizable.

I looked at the abyss under the coral fossil rock layer and asked Guchai if he knew what kind of place it was, and Guchai compared it for a long time, and the fat man and I didn't understand it, but the water was too deep there, and people would be swept away by turbulence as soon as they passed. I thought to myself that the place was the remains of the dragon bones, and it was dangerous and unpredictable, not to mention that without heavy diving equipment, it was difficult to delve into it. Now the first task is to find out the truth about this ancient tripod around us, to see if it is the mechanism of the ancient corpse burial at sea, if we can really make the zombie surface of the sea, we can also take the opportunity to follow it. Now that the supplies and equipment are exhausted, and the success or failure of life and death depends on this, he didn't pay much attention to the situation in the deep stream, and continued to carefully observe the giant ding under the water.

In the coral forest fossils on the other side of the stone tripod on the bottom of the sea, there is a huge cave, and the fat man and I snooped beside the tripod for a while, but we didn't find anything unusual. But Gu Chai had great eyesight under the water, and he seemed to be able to see some dark wriggling giant in the cave, and he signaled that it was very dangerous inside, and he must not approach it.

The fat man and I saw that Gu Chai was frightened by the things in the cave, and it must be unusual, so the three of them did not dare to move, and hurriedly turned over and swam into the ding. This place is all beyond the reach of the ghost moth, we had to use a diving flashlight to illuminate, between the several copper tripods around, there are all winches of copper trough chains, it seems to be some kind of mechanism, but I don't know how to use the start.

The fat man shook the stillborn baby in his hand and asked me where to put this Rausch. I looked around and thought to myself that the fetus that had been damaged by the moon was probably just to disperse the swarms of sharks underwater, and not to be placed in this giant dome. This thing is fluttering, and as soon as you let go, it floats up. The Hate Tian clan is familiar with the habits of the water tribe, presumably so? The ancestors of the people knew the weakness of the mackerel, otherwise with the danger of this water, who would be able to come down and move this great ding. It seems that how we took these three stillborn corpses down, and how we had to carry them back.

When he ignored it, Gu Chai used his pair of goldfish eyes to find something under the coral iron tree in Dingzhong, gestured at us, and swam over first. The fat man and I were worried that he had made a mistake, and wanted to call him back to act together, but we couldn't open our mouths, and wanted to reach out and grab him, but the guy was slippery like a loach, and had already swam to the front, so we had to hold on to the copper chain in the ding, and swim closely to the coral tree.

Under the iron tree was a black rotten wooden coffin, although the wood was good, it had corroded under the water and was already crispy, and it fell off piece by piece with a touch of the hand. I'm getting more and more confused, before the Qin and Han dynasties, stone coffins and copper coffins were mostly used, and wooden coffins were very rare, but the wood was like a coffin, and it was difficult to say whether it was a wooden coffin.

But the wooden box, which was as black as rotten charcoal, was just the size that could hold the corpse of an adult, and the long and rectangular one was very much like a coffin. Before I could take a closer look, the fat man had already peeled off the muddy wood, and there was a corpse with a green body all over it, and the three of them were all taken aback when they saw that the corpse was forced by the water waves, and it was as green as life, how could there be such a thing under the water?

There was a faint green glow in the black wooden coffin, and I hurriedly shone the beam of the diving flashlight, only to see a bronze figure covered in green erosion in the rotten wood. The form of the bronze man seems to be a common clothed corpse figurine in ancient times, that is, the tomb owner for some reason did not have the bones to bury the burial, often made of gold and jade or bronze to form a human shape, wearing the tomb owner's crown clothes, placed in the coffin as a clothed corpse figurine to replace the deceased.

I fixed my mind, removed the rotten wood on the face of the bronze man, completely dismantled the ancient wooden board, and then looked closely, and my heart was even more puzzled, it seems that this bronze man is not a clothed figurine, because the crowned figurines can not be regarded as a burial vessel, its status is equivalent to the tomb owner, has always been very noble, must be made to be strict eyebrows, the shape and etiquette are extraordinary, and very rare, now can see almost nothing.
