Chapter 7 Looking at the Sea Mirror
I took out a flashlight again, but it only took two or three minutes to break down again, I can only believe in the fact that in this kind of place, ordinary flashlights simply do not work properly, and I still have to use my night pearl. After the daytime sunlight, the brightness of the night pearl is much stronger than before, but it can only make me barely distinguish the scenery within ten meters.
The bottom of the sea here is indeed different from where I arrived last night, with plants resembling anemones growing on the ground, a handful of small shrimp with transparent bodies and a kind of black fish that is flattened against the stone wall, with two eyes growing on the top of the head. I was very excited, since there is a different landscape under Magou, there is a possibility that there is an "oasis", and it is very likely that the dragons are hiding there.
The soft sea bath is fluttering slightly, and it is all floating in one direction, which shows that the sea is really moving. The reason for the flow of seawater must be that the local seawater is heated and rises to the ground, and the nearby seawater flows to replenish it, and life can only be born in places where there is temperature, so I have to look for a place where there is a fire.
I started to walk in the direction of the current, and after walking for about half an hour, I saw more and more creatures, in addition to the sea anemones and shrimps I had seen before, there were sponge-like plants and corals, and octopus-like creatures. There was even a crustacean that looked a bit like a cockroach, which proved that crustaceans can survive in this kind of place.
The temperature of the sea is obviously higher than before, it is estimated to be about 10 degrees Celsius, but when I get here, the flow of the sea is not obvious, and it is difficult for me to determine the direction of progress. The main problem now is that the illumination range of the Night Pearl is too small, and Xiaoxue's perception and I are limited and we can't sense too far, so it's too inefficient to find.
Xiaoxue suddenly said, "Don't we have an ancient mirror that can reflect light?" Why don't you try to see if you can shine the light of the night pearl out of the night. ”
I don't think so, the brightness of the night pearl is very limited, where can I use the mirror to reflect it? Moreover, my ancient mirror looks dark and dull, and it can't illuminate clearly, and it only glows when it is infused with aura to reflect the enemy's attacks.
I really can't do anything now, I thought about it, anyway, a dead horse is a live horse doctor, so I asked Xiaoxue to take it out and try it.
When the ancient mirror arrived in my hand, it immediately emitted an obvious bright light, which was definitely not because the night pearl was shining brighter, but because it was shining on its own, and it itself was also emitting powerful spiritual power fluctuations.
This ancient mirror is slightly larger than the palm, the outer ring is dark red like copper, the decoration is ancient, and there is a gray-white thing like jade in the middle. At this time, the outer frame became crystal shiny, slightly glowing red, and the jade-like part of the mirror became clear and luminous, as clear as a glass mirror during the day, and it had never been so bright before.
"Ah......h
In the mirror, it is not me, but the scene of the seabed in front of me, rocks, seaweed, and fish are all visible at a glance, as if I am watching a TV screen. I turned an angle slightly, and the scenery in the mirror changed, shining far away, shining near, and the field of vision was wide and clear.
"This, this...... Could this be the legendary mirror of the sea? Xiaoxue exclaimed, her tone full of surprise and excitement.
I was a little surprised: "Do you know this mirror?" ”
Xiaoxue said excitedly: ""Xuzi is silent" is loaded, the circumference of the sea mirror is more than two feet long, the outer circle is blue, like jade and non-jade, the middle is a white stone, the bottom is clear, like a crystal and amorphous, you can see strange fish and all reefs from a hundred miles away...... In the past, because the size was wrong, the color and material were different from what the book said, so I didn't expect it to be it. That's right, that's right, the size of ancient times is different from now, in ancient times, one foot is the length of the thumb and middle finger, and the height of a man is one zhang, so it is also called husband, more than two feet is so big, and now it is the same as described in ancient books, I should have thought of it! ”
I really don't know whether to cry or laugh, I knew that Lu Dao had such a strange treasure in his hand, where did he have to suffer so much before? But it's not too late to find out now, with this treasure, it's more effective than the latest detection instruments in the world, it's a bit exaggerated to see the scenery within dozens of miles. If I used to walk at night with a firefly, now I am walking with a large searchlight!
After a few rounds of back and forth, I noticed that there was a small hill in the distance that seemed a little abrupt, so I drifted that way. Now I can see if there are monsters nearby, so I can rest assured that I can boldly tread water and run, faster than running on land, with the treasure mirror in hand, just one word: cool!
Closer to the hill, Xiaoxue and I were almost so frightened that we knelt down, and there was a head, feet, and back shell at the bottom of the mountain, and it was a giant tortoise! There is not a single mountain on the back of the turtle, but several small hills, mountains, rivers, grasses, trees and plains, and it is clearly an island! If I hadn't looked at it with a sea mirror, I wouldn't have been able to recognize a turtle underneath the island, even if I got closer, it was so big.
"OMG!" Xiaoxue exclaimed, "Even if it's a divine beast Xuanwu, it can't be so big, right?" ”
I think of many legends, the ancients said that the earth is a giant turtle on its back, when the giant turtle stretched its waist, there was an earthquake, could it be that I saw the inspiration of this giant turtle? There have been many witnesses who found an island in the sea that did not exist, but when they went back to look for it a few days later, the island disappeared again, could it be that this giant turtle surfaced? There are also the legendary Penglai, abbot, and Yingzhou three immortal mountains are also supported on the back of Shenao, could this be one of them?
Shocked for a moment, I looked at it again, its neck tucked into its shell, its head on the ground, its eyes closed. Although its head is almost completely obscured by many reefs and seaweed, it can be vaguely seen that its head is not like a turtle or turtle, but rather a dragon, with a thick short horn on the top of its head. There are so many things on its back that I can't see the lines clearly, but it doesn't look like any kind of turtle or turtle I've ever seen.
Xiaoxue and I couldn't be sure whether Shenao was dead or asleep, so we approached cautiously and walked around it for half a circle, but we still couldn't sense any movement, and the island on its back had no traces left by humans, so it didn't seem to be a fairy mountain.
I came to find the dragon, not the turtle, and I didn't have the courage to slash it to see if it was alive or dead, so I had to leave after some emotion.
I looked around with a sea mirror again, and found that there was a direction where the "vegetation" in the distance was denser, and there were more aquatic creatures, so I walked that way. I didn't go far before I noticed that the temperature was rising significantly, and the further I went, the warmer it became, and even though it wasn't a crater below, it was very close to the underground lava, and that's where I found the "fire in the water"!
Suddenly, a huge shadow flashed in the mirror, and the water became turbid as the water fled in all directions. I hurriedly followed it in my sea mirror, and was shocked to see a huge dragon's tail flick past and turn behind a huge rock.
"Dragon!"
I really found the dragon, and I chased it as fast as I could. It didn't look far, but it took a while to get there, but behind the rock was a deep gully with a cliff, and the sea water below was a little turbid, and it was not really clear with a sea mirror.
I didn't dare to rush down and walked along the edge of the cliff, looking in the mirror as I went. Suddenly, I felt a sharp vibration in the sea, and I couldn't help but float to the left, and when I barely managed to freeze my body and turned around, a huge dragon head appeared in the sea mirror, and two huge eyes were staring at me.
This dragon head is the size of a small room, blue-black, with two dragon horns about one meter and five long, and four or five forks are divided towards the front; The wide mouth is slightly open, and the sharp upper and lower symmetrical fangs can be seen, and the mouth is covered with a large number of fleshy whiskers, similar to the whiskers of bearded fish, short less than one meter, long two or three meters, and swinging very softly in the seawater; The snout and nostrils resemble those of a cow, two black eyes with huge bulging protrusions, and two relatively small ears behind them, which also resemble cow ...... In general, it has eight images of the dragon in the picture, and the main difference is that the dragon head in the painting is not like a water creature, and the dragon head I see now obviously has the characteristics of a water creature, and the huge ferocity is far beyond my imagination.
I was really stunned for a moment, looking for it thousands of times, and suddenly I saw it but I didn't know what to say or do. Luckily, it didn't attack me, it just stared at me.
"It, it...... It wants to look in the sea mirror. Xiaoxue's voice was trembling, and I could feel its heart trembling as well.
I could see that it was not staring at me, but at the sea mirror in my hand, and its eyes had a greedy expression. Really, its eyes have a human-like expression!
"I'm looking for a dragon that attacked a big ship more than fifty years ago." I said to it with a strong mind.
The dragon's eyes blinked, and I sensed what it meant, and it was telling me to give it the sea mirror.
Of course I can't give it the sea mirror, but it's so huge that it can bite me into several pieces with a single bite, and it can far away with a single breath, how can I refuse it? In a place like this, I had to keep using the water avoidance technique, otherwise I would be immediately crushed into meat sauce by the sea, so I couldn't use lethal martial arts or spells. Now I can't beat it and I can't escape, I didn't find the jade talisman I wanted, but instead I became a fat sheep sent to the door!
I just hesitated, and the dragon's head was slowly leaning forward, its mouth opening a little wider, all its whiskers straightened, and it was angry. I sensed its terrible rage, a feeling of Tarzan being overpowered, and the water behind me shook, and I don't know which part of its body surrounded me.
"What to do, what to do......" Xiaoxue shuddered, as a beast, there is a greater fear in front of the dragon, this is Long Wei!
I'm not reconciled, if I lose the sea mirror, I will never want to find the dragon, let alone find the jade talisman. I tried my best to suppress the panic in my heart, and said to the dragon with my thoughts, "The fact that I can come here proves that I am not a bully, and now I have no intention of making enemies with you." I'm looking for a fan-shaped jade talisman with a pattern of hexagram redemption on it, and if you have that jade talisman, I can consider exchanging it with a sea mirror. ”
I sensed some kind of scorn and sneer, and the faucet began to shrink back. I've seen the White Snake attack the enemy many times, so it immediately understood that it wasn't backing down, it was about to attack!
