Chapter 11: Expedition II
At the base of the cliffs are huge reefs that may have fallen off the cliffs at some unknown point, and as the waves continue to crash, these reefs are strangely shaped and varied.
The sun wheel in the sky is already slightly westerly, and it is still noon. Only a light breeze blew, and the sea was sparkling with microwaves, and the sun of the sun wheel shone on it, and the golden light shimmered. The water is deep blue and you can't see it all the way.
Lilia had already found her way through the hole in the griffon's lair, and by the time her feet landed on the rock, her little hands had lost their strength. After a long pause, he pointed to the west and said to Flandy, "There it is, and there is still some distance to the west, and it is already very close." ”
"There are too many reefs here, the road is too difficult to walk, don't untie the rope tied around our waists first, I'll go ahead, where you can't pass, I'll pull you up." Brandy instructed.
"Yes!" Lilia nodded vigorously, feeling that she had made the right way to ask for Frandi's help, if it was her brother Ted or the little fat Vito, she would have to go back halfway through.
There are many reefs on the seashore, some can be bypassed, some must be turned over, those small reefs Frankie can take Lilia's hand to pass, some reefs that are more than one person tall Franky can only climb up by himself, and then pull Lilia up with the rope around his waist.
The road was less than two kilometers, and even Flandy had some difficulty before he even walked and climbed to where Lilia was going.
Lilia is also tired. After arriving at the place, the two of them first took out the kettle and drank a few sips of water, and were so tired that they collapsed on a relatively smooth reef to rest.
The sun warmed the reef, the sky was so blue, there were only a few white clouds, and the breeze on the beach was cool. Accompanied by the sound of waves crashing against the reef. Flandi thought it would be nice to get some good sleep here.
Tilting her head to look at the little girl next to her, her blonde hair as thick as seaweed was spread on the reef, and it looked so dazzling in the sun. Gently closed his eyes, his long and curled eyelashes trembled slightly, but his velvety eyebrows frowned slightly, and he didn't know what was hidden at a young age.
After resting for a while, the fatigue of the journey was gone. Lilia took out all the contents of the two backpacks, and a large stall of items was placed on the reef, and Frandi found that, good fellow, Lilia had even brought a tent and a sleeping bag. There are also some emergency foods. No wonder the boss's backpack is still so heavy.
Lilia handed a larger garment with silver scales to Frandy and said, "This is a garment made of silver barracuda skin, which allows us to swim faster in the sea and keep us warm, Flandie, you put it on the outside of the garment." ”
"This one is made of glass, so you can see clearly in the water when you wear it. Lilia handed the goggle-like mirror to Frandy again.
"And this one, the gills of the Angra Sea Beast, which I have made into a mask that gives us air to breathe in the water. "The Angra Sea Beast, also known as the Underwater Sleeper, has a unique gills that allow it to live on the bottom of the sea.
"Hey, Lilia, there's such a good thing!" said Frandy happily as he took the three-piece diving suit. With these three things, you don't have to always flutter on the surface of the sea in the future, and you can go to the bottom of the sea to explore.
As he spoke, Frankie took the three-piece suit and unfolded the garment made of silver barracuda skin. The clothes are large enough to be put on the outside, and the use has been thought of when making them, and the collar, cuffs, and trouser cuffs are covered with a layer of soft leather, and there is a small strap on the outside of the leather that can be tied tightly to prevent water from pouring in.
The perimeter of the glass mirror is also glued with a circle of leather, and there are small straps on both sides that can be put on the back of the head. The mask made from the gills of the Angela Sea Beast has a tube to bite into the mouth, but there is also a small strap that can be tied around the neck for insurance.
The two put on their dive suits, then put the rest back in their backpacks and found a gap in the corner of the reef. Put the backpack in it and cover it with a small piece of reef. so as not to lose it.
Holding the glass ball containing the shining light in her hand, Lilia thought that the idea of connecting the two with a rope was particularly good, so she put the rope that she had untied from the silver barracuda leather coat on their waists.
"Flandy, follow me when you go to the sea, there are many invisible whirlpools in the sea, and we must not be swept up in the whirlpools. Be careful!" Lilia instructed.
"Don't worry, Lilia, I often play in the sea, and I have a rope tied to it, so it won't be separated, I'm very good at water. ”
"Alright, let's go to the sea. ”
The sea was very warm by the sun, and the two stepped on the reef step by step into the sea. The reef by the sea is soaked in a thick, slippery layer of slime. The two children held hands and supported each other.
When the water is enough to submerge your waist, you can squat down and swim up. There is no pollution here and the sea is very clear. Looking through the glass lens, even some of the shellfish attached to the reef below the sea water are visible.
With a tube in his mouth, and through the mask made of the cheeks of the Angra sea beast, Franky tried to breathe a few times in the seawater, and sure enough, there was a flow of gas. It's better to breathe smoothly on land and have some stuffy feelings.
After swimming back and forth in the sea a few times, he found that the silver shuttle leather suit could remove a large part of the resistance of the water in the sea, which was smoother than Brandi's bare butt swimming in the sea. It's like turning into a silver barracuda, swimming freely in the sea.
It seems that Lilia is a good diving trio, but unfortunately she doesn't know about fins, and if she does, Frandi is confident that she can swim around Psal.
After swimming more than ten meters, the sea water suddenly deepened, and the scorching sun could not penetrate the barrier of the sea water. The deep blue seabed can no longer be seen, and it is in stark contrast to the sunshine on the sea.
Lilia gestured downward towards Flandy, who nodded her head in receipt. The two of them dived headfirst to the bottom of the sea.
The silver shuttle leather coat is really powerful, even if it dives down, there is not much resistance, it seems to be able to overcome the buoyancy of the sea, and the gills of the Angra sea beast continue to produce breathable gas, and the two of them will spit out a string of exhaled bubbles every other day.
After diving more than ten meters, Flandy already felt the pressure of the deep water, but fortunately the mask covered his ears. It's not too uncomfortable. Lilia was not as good as Flandy, and there was already a hint of pain on her little face. The water below was still bottomless, and the light here was already dim, but fortunately the two of them held a glass ball of shining light in their hands, which emitted a soft light.
The land-based base of Psal Island has extended here, straight up and down, like a cliff that has just climbed down. It is connected to the island of Pusal. Below is an unfathomable seabed.
After a few more meters, the light on the surface of the sea was getting darker and darker. Through the soft light of the sparkling light, Flandy discovers a huge crack in the cliff under the sea. The depths of the rift were dark, I don't know how deep.
Lilia's eyes lit up, and she pulled Frandy and swam towards the crack. When they were close to the crack, an undercurrent of the sea surged in, but fortunately, the two held hands and tied a rope around their waists, so they were not separated. However, he was also washed around several times, and when he stabilized his body, he found that he had been washed into the crack.
Both sides of the crack are hard rocks, as if using a huge axe, the submarine cliff from the middle of the split, split out a large crack dozens of meters wide, strange rocks, dotted everywhere, fortunately, the two were not washed to the stone by the undercurrent, to avoid the doom of the head breaking blood.
Lilia dragged Frandy into the depths of the rift, the glow of the light in their hands attracting schools of small fish around them. Under the light of the sparkling light, it is colorful and colorful. It was truly magnificent, and to be able to see such a beautiful view, Flendy felt that this trip was not in vain.
The crack tends upwards, narrowing as the two go deeper. When you reach the deepest point, you can only pass sideways by yourself. Just when Flandy thought there was no way, Lilia led him upstream, leaving the sea and entering a cave under the sea.
This shore hole under the sea is different from the burrow of gophers, and it is also different from the nest of griffins. It is a cave that was naturally formed by nature.
Countless huge crystals protruded from the hole like sharp swords. These crystals are transparent and crystal clear throughout. Flandi could see that the largest crystal was more than ten meters high, and it was almost touching the top of the cave. It emits all kinds of fluorescent light, yellow, purple, and white. Even if there is no shining light, it does not appear too dim.
The temperature here is extremely high, much higher than the temperature of the sun wheel outside. Luckily, both men were dressed in silver piano skin, which keeps them warm in the cold waters of the deep sea and insulates them in the sweltering heat.
"Whew, whew. There was a loud breath, and Brandy followed the sound. Through the fluorescent light emitted by the crystal, it was found that more than twenty meters in front of the left, there was the head of a huge creature, as if this creature accidentally crashed into this place, smashed countless crystal pillars, but stuck here and couldn't move.
