Dragging his tired body, Chen Ziyang forced himself to open his heavy eyelids and slowly looked around. It took him a while to get used to the darkness around him, and he was able to vaguely discern the outlines of objects around him.

Although it is far away from the waterfall and the water surface, the water on the waterfall hits the sink on the waterwheel, and part of the splashed water vapor floats over, and Ren Ziyang only feels wet and very uncomfortable after waking up. He wiped the water stains on his body, shook his stiff shoulder muscles and neck, and looked at the people around him.

Except for himself, only two or three people were still resting on the platform, while the others were lying on the side of the platform, looking at something in the direction of the pool, and whispering something to each other. Chen Ziyang also slowly leaned over and stood on the edge of the platform and looked down.

On the bearings of this huge waterwheel, there are two thick pillars at each end that stretch diagonally into the water, supporting the huge waterwheel in a figure-of-eight shape, and these four pillars are deeply rooted in the water, and it is impossible to see how long they are. Chen Ziyang stood aside and looked down for a long time, but he didn't see anything, and he didn't know what attracted everyone.

So he patted Yang Lei on the shoulder, wanting to ask about the specific situation, Yang Lei saw that Chen Ziyang woke up, so he whispered in his ear: "Be quiet, don't make a noise yet, you take a closer look at the water below, there is something." ”

Chen Ziyang finally got used to the dim light here, and he didn't know why these people didn't even turn on the flashlight, so he poked his head again and looked carefully into the dark pool below, but even if he was about to pop out his eyes, he didn't see anything so attractive in the clear water, so he shook his head at Yang Lei.

Yang Lei saw what Chen Ziyang meant, so he grimaced at him and continued: "Why are you so stupid? You look at where my finger is. After Yang Lei finished speaking, he pointed in a direction with his finger, but his fingers were not fixed in one place, but slowly drew a circle in front of him.

Although the place where Yang Lei's fingers have drawn is very small, if it is projected on the water below, it is a large area, Chen Ziyang is almost happy, and he doesn't know what this Yang Lei wants to see by himself, such a large place, but he has his own view. Then he followed the place where Yang Lei's finger had swiped, and after looking carefully for a while, he opened his mouth wide in surprise.

The waterhole below is very dark, but it is water after all, which can reflect some light, and in the middle of this waterhole, there is a huge shadow, which is much darker than other water, Chen Ziyang also saw this shadow before, but he didn't expect this huge shadow to be what everyone sees, he never thought that there would be something in this water that would grow so big.

Following the direction Yang Lei pointed, he could clearly see the outline of the shadows in the water, which took on a narrow cigar shape, and at first glance, it looked like there was a submarine in the water. The main thing is that this shadow is able to move in the water, although it moves relatively slowly, but it is obvious that this dark shadow can be seen slowly shaking near this waterwheel.

"You were sleeping just now, you didn't see it, this thing was churning in the water before, and the whole body turned out of the water, and fortunately a few people nearby saw it, otherwise, if we go down so rashly, we are likely to be eaten by this thing in one bite." Yang Lei saw Chen Ziyang's surprised expression and knew that he saw what he was referring to, so he explained to him.

The outline of the entire slender black shadow looked somewhat similar to a crocodile at first glance, and Chen Ziyang suddenly thought that when he was in Li Zhuo's tomb, Umbrella Shishuai said that they were attacked by a huge crocodile in the water, could it be that there is such an identical crocodile here? So Chen Ziyang went to Umbrella Shishuai's ear and asked him softly about what he knew.

"I also saw it just now, this thing shouldn't be the kind of huge crocodile we encountered, because this thing doesn't seem to have the scale armor on the crocodile's body, and the armor on the crocodile in Li Yu's tomb before is very hard, and even the bullet can only spark when it hits.

But this thing looks like a soft body, and even if it has scales, it is not so obvious, so this thing should not be a crocodile. But this thing really looks like a crocodile. But it's really hard to judge, if only I could take a closer look. ”

"Don't say it, Xiao Na, this woman still really has a little luck, if she hadn't asked us to rest in this place before, we would have gone down the ladder to the pool, then it may be more auspicious, you stare carefully for a while, someone just saw that this thing seems to have an iron chain tied to its body, but it has not turned over again for a long time."

"Why don't you shine a flashlight? It's better to see it that way. ”

"No, Xiao Na is worried that the light of our flashlight will frighten this thing, and it is very likely that the flare we fired before made this thing come up, because at the beginning, we didn't find such a big shadow in the water, and it is very likely that this thing only floated to the surface of the water after we arrived here."

Thinking about what Yang Lei said, Chen Ziyang felt that what he said was not unreasonable, just as a few people were talking, this behemoth in the water suddenly surfaced, turned around, and sank again, although the whole process only lasted a few seconds, but Chen Ziyang saw this thing clearly through the faint light on the water surface.

Just as Yang Lei described, this thing under the water looks very much like a crocodile, and on his head, it also has a short snout like a crocodile's mouth, and there seem to be some sharp teeth in the mouth, and even this thing has a long tail, but the biggest difference between it and a crocodile is that it does not have those scales like armor on its body.

The scales on this fish seem to be about the same as those of a fish, but they are larger. Chen Ziyang thought to himself, no wonder those piranhas on the waterfall didn't jump here to continue attacking them, it turned out that this was the territory of this thing.

Chen Ziyang saw that there were two thick black iron chains enclosing two iron hoops, firmly encircling the waist of this huge creature twice, wrapping this creature to death, it seems that these iron chains have been tied to the body of this creature for some years, because these two iron chains have deformed the body of this fish, and it should have been a round body, but it was concave by these two iron hoops.

It is estimated that these two iron chains were tightly fixed to the creature's body when it was a little smaller, but as time passed, the creature's body continued to grow again, and it would show its current strange shape.

The body of this creature was obviously divided into three parts by two iron chains, and the excess meat on the edge of the iron chains had almost hidden these two iron hoops in the body of this creature, if it wasn't for Chen Ziyang being reminded by them before, he might not have noticed that this object was still tied to the body of the chain.

On these two chains, there was another thicker iron chain that strung the two chains together, and extended to the bottom of everyone, Chen Ziyang looked in the direction of this iron chain, although when he didn't see where the iron chain was tethered, the other end of the iron chain had disappeared into the dark water, but looking in this direction, Chen Ziyang estimated that this iron chain should be tied to a pillar of this huge waterwheel.

"This thing looks a bit like an alligator gar." Hu Bo, who was lying on the side, whispered in the ears of several people when he saw the creature for the second time.

"What gar?" Yang Lei asked.

"Alligator gar."

"What kind of eel?" Umbrella Shishuai asked.

"Alligator gar."

"Crocodile what?" Chen Ziyang asked.

"Roll the calves, you three roll the calves."

The alligator gar is a creature that Chen Ziyang has heard of before, it is the largest of the seven species of gar in North America, the largest of this fish can grow to more than 3 meters long, is a large and ferocious fish, mainly lives in pure fresh water, occasionally lives in brackish water, likes to live alone.

The eggs of the alligator gar are poisonous, green in color, and often adhere to aquatic weeds or gravel. The meat of this fish is edible, and it is the largest of the seven species of gar in existence.

The alligator gar has a long barrel-shaped body, a protruding snout, a short snout like a crocodile, and two rows of dagger-sharp teeth on the upper and lower jaws, hence the strange name. The alligator gar's body is covered with a diamond-shaped glaze of hard phosphorus, as if wearing steel armor, and its back is generally brown or olive, and its belly is lighter, and its scales are diamond-shaped hard scales.

Just as Chen Ziyang was lying next to the platform and continued to look down, he was called aside by Xiao Na.

"Mr. Chen, do you feel that there are many things wrong with this dungeon?"

"Something is wrong, what's wrong, are you talking about the big fish in the water? This is a treasure vault, and if you are allowed to walk down the road, then something is wrong. It's normal to have one or two things or traps or something. ”

"I didn't mean that, have you ever wondered why they're here, including the human-faced bat from before, and the big fish under the water. If the previous passage mechanism was for anti-theft, I can understand it, and if it is said that the existence of the bat colony is because the environment is suitable for bats to grow, I can also understand it.

But have you ever wondered why there is such a big bat and such a big fish living here? It's impossible to put either of these two huge creatures outside, and I don't know if you've ever noticed the environment where the giant human-faced bat lives, where there is no exit other than the passage we entered.

The hidden stone door on the rock wall behind the bat space has always been sealed, and the size of that bat is so huge, how did it go out to hunt? It can't go through the same passage every time it goes out to hunt, which means that the huge human-faced bat must have been trapped in that space all the time.

And the same is true of the fish under our feet, the iron chain has always kept this fish firmly here, and it is impossible for there to be so much food in the water near here for so many years. Even if there was enough food for it to live in the first few years of tethering it, more than 1,000 years have passed since the end of the ancient kingdom of Bohai, can this thing live for 1,000 years without eating any food? As for feeding, it is even more improbable. It can't be that someone has been feeding this huge creature for more than 1,000 years. ”

After listening to Xiao Na's words, Chen Ziyang was stunned, yes, if Xiao Na didn't say it, he didn't think there was anything unreasonable about these things, after all, this is a treasure dungeon of the ancient country of the Bohai Sea, and there are some things like monsters that are guarded, which is also normal.

In the past two years, I have seen a lot of zombies, blood corpses, and messy things, which was something that I couldn't think of before. Although he had removed the blood spirit with Lao Dao when he was a child, after all, he hadn't even seen what the blood spirit looked like at that time, and even for a long time, he thought that Lao Dao was putting on a show.

Even before he went down to the shallow water fish dragon tomb, he was still struggling with whether there was such a thing as a ghost in this world. But two underground adventures in a row have completely subverted their worldview, hundreds of years of zombies, two corpse demons, and countless blood corpses and shougen, all of which have opened their eyes, so much so that until now, they don't feel that there is anything wrong with the existence of these two huge creatures.

But after Xiao Na's reminder, Chen Ziyang reacted. That's right, these things are living things, not those evil things, as long as they are living things, they need to eat, they need to drink, and they can't escape the rules of this world. But the existence of these two huge creatures is too unreasonable.

This alligator gar only lives in North America, why is it here? And it's such a big one. Judging from common sense, this alligator gar should have been kept here during the Bohai Kingdom, when it was not as developed as now, when shipping was so developed and creatures from all over the world could be seen.

Chen Ziyang guessed that it should be in the Tang Dynasty, some people from some country caught this huge fish and gave it as a rare object to the Tang Dynasty, and later this thing fell into the hands of the emperor of the ancient Bohai Kingdom, was raised, and served as the guardian of this underground palace, which can barely explain why this North American creature appeared here.

But on the other hand, why did this creature grow so big? At the same time, for more than 1,000 years, what has this thing relied on to live!
