In a position where it is almost impossible for a ship to appear, a shipwreck under the sea was suddenly discovered, especially in such a sensitive location, and Catherine's previous speculation was in advance, and the reason behind this may be hidden, so that the five people were silent.

"You say, did Doris find this shipwreck when they investigated?" Catherine stood on the corpse of the deep-sea beast, looked at the blurred black shadow not far away, and said, "I remember that Badia once accidentally mentioned that Doris has explored all the places that can be explored under the sea, so she suggested that we go to the middle islands to look for them." In that case, I think she shouldn't have let it go here. ”

That's why Doris herself didn't mention it. Pannis nodded, "I'm afraid we'll miss this clue." ”

"But why didn't she tell us directly?" Catherine was puzzled and asked her own question: "If she tells us directly, with a goal, we should be able to do it faster, and we don't have to search aimlessly like now, a lot of time is wasted." ”

"Let's go down. Pannis shook his head to indicate that he could not answer: "Go to the shipwreck first and see what clues there are." ”

Several people began to climb down the skull of the giant corpse, it was much easier to descend down than to climb up, no matter how high, just need to look at the position to jump down, and when they were about to land, switch the amphibious bead from walking mode to diving mode, and use the resistance of the sea water to easily resolve the impact of the fall. The five of them were as dexterous as if they had turned into rock wall beasts, jumping down at high speed from their skulls more than 400 meters high.

"Wait. Freya, as a spar gunner, has a very keen instantaneous vision, and seems to have found something in the middle of the fall, but she didn't have time to say anything when she fell at high speed, and as soon as she landed, she said anxiously: "I seem to have seen something when I came down, in the mouth of this giant beast." ”

"Are you sure?" Catherine landed lightly with a splash, turned around and asked, "It's so dark inside......"

"I'm not sure. Freya said, "But since it has been delayed for a long time, and it is not bad for these few minutes, there is nothing wrong with watching carefully." ”

"Then go up and have a look. Catherine turned on the lights behind her and stretched her body to start swimming again. Due to the steep slope of the bones in the head, it is very convenient to swim in a straight line, and it does not even take much effort to use the buoyancy of the seawater, and soon swims to the mouth of the giant beast, and looks inward with its teeth.

The space in the mouth of the giant beast is very large, and due to the algae and sediment covering it above, the entire inside of the mouth is like an underwater cave, and there is no light at all. Lying on the outside of the mouth, even if the crystal energy illuminator has been adjusted to the maximum, the extended pillars of light still cannot illuminate the bones on both sides, and all that can be seen in front of him is a pitch-black space. But Freya's eyes lit up, and she pointed ahead and said, "Look there, I'm not mistaken. ”

Along the position that Freya pointed to, seventy or eighty meters away from the mouth of the giant beast, there was a mass of white flowers half-buried in the mud and sand below, although it was impossible to see what it was from a distance, but several people relied on experience to have a preliminary judgment in their hearts, exchanged a surprised look with each other, and walked slowly and cautiously.

The water surged, and from the depths of the darkness, suddenly three long demonic beasts emerged, and the demonic beasts had a sharp bayonet spear on their heads, quickly tearing through the seawater, and launched a fearless attack on the invaders who invaded their homeland. Catherine frowned, although she didn't have any armor on her body, but the magic steel shield was still on her body, and at this time, the shield pushed forward three times in a row, and hit the bayonet spear above the monster's head head-on. The Golden Beginner Rank Demonic Beast obviously couldn't pose any threat to the Legendary Rank Catherine, and couldn't even make her who was already prepared to shake in any way, and the result of the impact was that the three Demonic Beast stabbing spears broke, and she was also knocked into a daze, circling in a dazed circle in the sea.

"It seems that you should be careful of the demonic beasts that have settled around you. Vivien took a few steps forward, and the staff was a little bit on the demonic beast that was still spinning in a circle, and the heads of the three demonic beasts were immediately completely frozen, losing control of their heads, and their writhing bodies became stiff, falling straight to the ground.

The girls carefully searched along the up, down, left and right with the light, and made sure that there were no other magical beasts hiding in the dark, and then they came to the target, and sure enough, as everyone had prejudged in their hearts, there was also a white corpse in front of them. The body was half-buried under the dirt, with only the upper body exposed, and appeared to be humanoid, covered with seaweed, which was difficult to spot if you didn't look closely.

"The bodies of the victims?" Lina asked in a low voice, "Did you die here after escaping from the ship?"

"It's illogical, the first thing you do when you escape is always to float upward, even if you are seriously injured, you can't want to hide in the deep sea nearby. Catherine said, "And don't forget, this is the deep sea, how strong is the water pressure, and who can stay here for a long time without amphibious beads?"

"That's trouble. Lina shook her head and said, "Dig it out and take a closer look." ”

The five people gathered around the corpse and began to dig with their bare hands, the sediment on the bottom of the sea is not soft, the heavy water pressure makes each layer of the sediment very strong, although the surface is soaked with water and looks soft, but the inside is quite hard and stubborn. Fortunately, several of them were high-level professionals, and their physical fitness was far beyond that of normal people, and even without relying on any tools, they dug up the corpse in a short period of time. Halfway through the digging, the girls sighed secretly in their hearts, the corpse in front of them was not a human, but a sea tribe. Its upper body is identical to that of a human, but its lower half has only a long vertebra that extends downward from its spine to the end of its limbs.

"Merfolk. Catherine smiled wryly, groaned, and said, "Why did this mermaid die here? Could it be that it was eaten by a giant beast?"

"Impossible. Pannis shook his head and said, "Theoretically, any sea tribe has the possibility of being devoured by giant beasts, but the mermaids do not, because they are the closest race to the gods at the bottom of the sea, and the sea beasts will not attack them even if they lose their minds." ”

"That's interesting. Catherine stroked the bones and said, "Physically, the time of death between the two is not very large, no more than three hundred years at most, and I can't think of any situation in which a mermaid would die hiding in the mouth of a giant beast." ”

"I'm afraid I can only guess that she and this giant beast died at the same time. Vivien said, "And according to Pannis, the relationship between the two is not yet hostile, well, could it be that they were fighting side by side in the first place?"

"Fight side by side, fight with whom?" Freya suddenly pointed her gaze in the direction of the shipwreck outside the giant beast's body, "It's not impossible to fight the enemy in the shipwreck, but is there really a creature that can defeat such a huge beast at the bottom of the sea?"

"I can't guarantee it. Pannis shook his head and said, "I can only say that there is a theoretical chance of winning, but with my own words, this probability is really not high." ”

"Her fatal wound was in the abdomen. Catherine said: "Look, the three of her ribs that were broken inward on one side should have been a heavy force that hit her directly here, not only breaking her ribs, but also completely destroying her internal organs and making her lose her vitality." ”

Several men dug around the location where the merfolk had died, but found nothing but corpses. Catherine pointed to the mermaid's corpse and speculated, "One day in the past, she harnessed this giant sea beast and fought against an unknown enemy. During the battle, the two of them managed to pull each other's ships to the bottom of the sea, but there were also strong warriors on the opposing ship, and they died in the counterattack of those men. ”

"Reasonable. Pannis nodded: "There is no evidence to support it, it can only be called a guess out of thin air." ”

"Maybe it's not that there is no evidence, I really want to find it. Vivien had already run to a position more than thirty meters away, looked down at the ground and said, "Look, this should be a human skull." ”

Not far from Vivien's feet, a curved bone structure protruded from under the ground, slightly above the surrounding sludge, very hidden, and when I wanted to pick it up, I found that this bone structure was not only herself, but buried under the mud and sand with other bones. Digging through the mud all around, the appearance in front of the five people could not be more familiar, and every time they venture around, they are likely to see something - a skull, and, judging by the characteristics of the skeleton, it is a normal human male.

"Keep digging. The girls were silent for a while, and Catherine sighed and said, "It's come to this point, so let's find out what happened." ”

The excavation of the second body was much more difficult than that of the first, not only because of the depth of the mud and sand covering the first body, but also because of the posture of the two. The mermaid's corpse was lying peacefully on its back, as if silently accepting death, while this second corpse looked like it was standing upright, and its movements were twisted, as if it was in great pain before death.

However, when digging into its chest, the excavation could not continue. The corpse was empty and empty from the chest down, and the ends of the thoracic vertebrae were broken and deformed, as if half of the body had been violently chopped off. This situation made the girls stunned at the same time, and immediately accelerated the speed of digging downward, but no matter how much they dug, they could not find any bones. In the mouth of the giant beast, there was only one deceased who looked like a human but became uncertain, and died with the corpse of the mermaid, and judging from the current clues, this deceased also died from an external attack.
