PS: Thanks to Cassie Sandro for 1 monthly pass and 100 tips, thanks to 1 monthly pass for Maple Blossom Moon, monthly pass plus update progress (6/10), tip plus update progress (400/1000)

At about four o'clock in the morning, everyone was hanging on the cliff and falling asleep, and suddenly there was a huge sound of waves from the sea, which was by no means made by the waves, and was very similar to the sound of people walking in the stream, but this time the sound was too heavy. They all woke up everyone who was sleeping, after all, no one would sleep very well in this environment.

The six of them were awakened by the strange sound almost at the same time, and opened their eyes to look out through the air vents in their sleeping bags, where the sky was already shining and they could still see far away.

When they saw the source of the sound, all six looked at each other in shock, and they all held their breaths, as if the sound of breathing would be heard by the creatures they saw.

At this time, there was a mist in front of them, but the fog was not very thick, but in the mist, there was a huge figure, this figure stood in the middle of the sea, the sea water was only not up to the middle of his thigh, you can imagine how big this humanoid creature is.

All they heard was this huge humanoid creature walking across the sea a few kilometers away from them.

After watching the humanoid creature disappear into the fog, the six immediately got out of their sleeping bags, and they all looked at each other, and they could all see the shock on their faces.

Zhou Ting swallowed his saliva and shouted: "It's terrible, there are such monsters on the sea, it's just a moving mountain." ”

Director Wang said: "Everyone is awake, let's act, even before the end of the world, there are still many creatures in the sea that we don't know, now that the world's creatures have evolved, it can be said that most of our creatures are no longer recognized." ”

Sledgehammer got out of his sleeping bag, pulled his sledgehammer out of the stone wall, and jumped off the cliff, shouting, "Fortunately, he was only passing by, and if he got close to us, he wouldn't even be able to plug his teeth." ”

Wu Feng looked at Xiang Yuan and asked, "Young Master Xiang, what is our purpose this time?" Even Director Wang doesn't know very well, and I feel like we're going to encounter something terrible in our industry. ”

Everyone else looked at him. Zhou Ting snorted: "How could he know that Director Wang didn't say that it was a treasure buried at the bottom of the sea?" ”

"It's a treasure, but it's not a treasure in the usual sense, and if it's gold, silver, gems, or something, I don't think you'll be much interested. According to the analysis of the data we obtained, thousands or even tens of thousands of meters under our feet, there is a civilization from ancient times, before the age of dinosaurs. Xiang Yuan smiled.

"Before the age of the dinosaurs! How could it be that at that time, the earth was only the lowest creature, right? Sledgehammer exclaimed.

"That's textbook history. The reality will always be beyond your understanding, Director Wang should have heard the information about the ancient civilization, otherwise your company would not have agreed to my father's plan of action so at any cost. Xiang Yuan said.

"The president only told me that this trip would shock me and break all my previous worldviews, but I didn't say anything specific, and I will know when the time comes." Director Wang was also shocked by the information revealed by Xiang Yuan.

"Cut, who believes it, it is estimated that there are some fossils or something, and you researchers will blow all kinds of things before they find out, all of which are anticlimactic information." Zhou Ting snorted in disbelief.

Xiang Yuan didn't intend to ignore him. Look at the others and say: "There will be a lot of deadly traps after going down, you have to be mentally prepared, things that are not scientifically explained are also normal, anyway, after entering the underground passage, you have to listen to me, in case you touch the trap, I don't guarantee the consequences." Xiang Yuan said seriously.

Director Wang and others all understood that this was not the time to be reckless, Zhou Ting was about to say. Wu Feng said coldly: "If you have any trouble, you can make trouble after you go back, you must obey the command when you are below, I don't want to see a crisis in the team because of your personal psychological problems." ”

Director Wang also agreed, warning next week. With these two people, Zhou Ting could only shut up, but he still glared at Xiang Yuan.

After they simply ate some of the dried meat and water of the Evolved Beast, the sky was completely bright, and now the weather was still the same hot, but the sea was much better, except for the faint smell of the sea. The air is still very good, it is relatively cool, but the inland area is miserable, at this time the temperature has completely exceeded the tolerance range of ordinary people, and the air breathed in it is like the water vapor of a steamer, which only an evolutionary can withstand such a temperature.

After putting on the diving suits, the six people jumped into the sea at the same time with a large rock, and the bottom of this cliff was full of submarine reefs, and the underwater reefs were like stone pillars, even hundreds of meters long. They carefully looked around to prevent mutated fish from sneaking in, allowing the gravity of the large rock to sink to the bottom of the sea.

When he dived to the bottom of the sea yesterday, Director Wang asked through the contact: "Young Master Xiang, the water pressure here is very high, can you physically withstand it?" ”

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Xiang Yuan knew that Director Wang cared so much about him all the way, the purpose was to let him solve the problems behind him, after all, they couldn't do it in this regard.

Director Wang nodded and said, "Everyone find a place to fix their position, and when it will detonate the stone wall, the sea water will pour into the cave, and there will be a lot of suction." ”

Several people immediately threw away the big rock, swam to the stone wall next to it, grabbed the main protruding rock with both hands, and after fixing the position, Director Wang detonated the bombs placed here yesterday, these are specially used to blast the rocks, and their own attack power is not very strong.

So after the explosion, there was only a dull blasting sound, shattering a small gap in the stone wall, and then the strong pressure of the sea water instantly broke the gap, and the sea water rushed into the cave in the mountain wall.

The hole, which was only the size of a fist, slowly began to expand, and at the same time, a whirlpool appeared in the water, and as the hole expanded, the whirlpool grew larger and larger.

The six of them desperately grabbed the rock, and their bodies were as close to the stone wall as possible, but fortunately, the position they chose was better at the beginning, and they were not easy to be impacted by the current.

This lasted for more than ten minutes, the whirlpool slowly disappeared, the exploding cave was filled with seawater, and the sledgehammer was the first to swim to the entrance of the cave and turn on the deep sea lamp to check, and after making sure that there was no danger, he waved to the people behind him, and then swam into the cave himself.

The entrance to the cave is now three meters wide, and when they entered, they found that although the cave was covered with seaweed, they could still see that there were many huge scratches on the stone wall.

No one knows what caused these scratches. It's absolutely certainly not natural, though.

The six of them slowly swam downward, and as they went deeper and deeper into the seabed, the pressure of the surrounding water made it more and more difficult for them to dive, and they even had to climb down with their hands on the rock wall.

After climbing like this for almost an hour. Oxygen began to run low, and they pulled out a cylindrical metal object the size of a teacup from their closed backpack, then opened the oxygen cylinder behind them, took out the same item inside, threw it away, and put a new one inside.

After closing the gates. Soon, the oxygen indicator inside the cylinder showed that there was sufficient oxygen. This is KT's own research and development of solid oxygen, specially used for long-term underwater operations, a person with a pack of this thing, can continue to work underwater for ten hours.

After crawling through the underwater passage for more than five hours, the six of them finally saw a change in front of their eyes, the channel began to bend upward, and this time they floated much easier, but it was only a few minutes before they surfaced.

What appeared in front of them was an empty cavern at the bottom of the sea, where there was no water. There is a platform more than ten meters long in front of it, and there is a stone gate in the innermost, and the stone door is carved with the figures of two monsters, and there are two lines of words on both sides of the stone door, just like a couplet.

There is a stone lion-like creature on the left and right sides of the front of the stone gate, but it is certain that it is not a stone lion.

After the six people climbed onto the platform, the water only reached half of their calves, and the sledgehammer looked at the instrument in his hand and said: "The carbon dioxide content here is too high, don't get oxygen cylinders." ”

Zhou Ting looked at the big stone gate and said, "It's just a stone gate, let's just smash it open." ”

Wu Feng said with disdain: "You are really a layman." ”

"I'm a layman. I've also worked in the company a few times, and I've done my job well. Zhou Ting said unconvinced.

Director Wang waved his hand and said, "Okay, this time the situation is different, all the organs in the back and the door stone gate cannot be broken by brute force." No accidents. Young Master Xiang, can you see how this stone door is opened? ”

As soon as Xiang Yuan came up, he just glanced at the stone gate, and then looked at the stone walls around him, it was pitch black here, and other people needed lights, but Xiang Yuan didn't need them at all. For him, day and night are the same.

"The words on both sides of this stone door are the clues to open the stone door, in fact, it is also very easy to distinguish, it is said that the mechanism that opens the stone door is on the two gatekeeper beasts on the door. But if we go this way, we will definitely run into a lot of traps, and I don't recommend entering through this stone gate. ”

Zhou Ting snorted: "Blow, you didn't even go in to know that there was a trap inside, even if there was a trap after so many years, it would have been broken a long time ago, and besides, if you can't get in here, do we have to go back." ”

Director Wang shouted helplessly: "Zhou Ting, I found that you talked a lot this time, and I won't let you participate in this kind of activity in the future." ”

"Director Wang, what I said is the truth, why do you trust him so much." Zhou Ting exclaimed unconvinced.

This time, even the sledgehammer couldn't be seen, he slapped Zhou Ting on the back of the head and shouted: "You kid don't understand the rules, I know what you hate about the young master and young lady, but now it's different, this kind of place is not an ordinary shipwreck treasure or something, it is likely that there will be unimaginable traps, at this time, everyone must unconditionally follow the guidance of professionals, I shouldn't have taken you yesterday." ”

Seeing that the big hammer and Director Wang were angry, he didn't dare to say more, but just glared at Xiang Yuan fiercely.

After seeing that he was honest, Xiang Yuan pointed to the stone wall and said: "The surrounding stone walls are artificially hewn, and most of them are in the same position, but the area around the big stone gate is particularly smooth, almost 8 meters wide. This large stone gate is only four meters high, so there is no need for such a wide door frame at all. The stone wall itself is enough to fix the stone door, and there is no need to make such a wide door frame again, which indicates that the door frame has another purpose. ”

Sledgehammer and Director Wang immediately walked to the left and right sides of the stone door and gently knocked on the door frame, but the sound that came showed that the door was solid, and there was no secret door. (To be continued.) )
