Chapter eighty-three, mermaids
In the whole world, the proportion of places occupied by people is actually not much, people can only live on the surface of the land, but 70% of the earth is the ocean, so human beings still know very little about the world, even on land, there are many places where human beings can not live, such as some steep mountains and forests on land, deserts, snowfields, Gobi, these places, human beings are difficult to survive.
It's just that in these long years, some ancient ruins, unbelievable underground caves, but built in some deserted places, they are very dangerous, people who don't enter are dead, in such a place, there are more likely to be some unknown and dangerous creatures, and the place we are about to enter is such a dangerous place.
According to the scan of the paranormal investigation team, the strange energy fluctuation came from an extremely dangerous valley, and it is located about 200 meters underground, very deep, near this remote village, there is a very long river, the local call this river is the green river, because the color of the river water is cyan, which may be the reason for the large number of trees around the fall of leaves.
The end of this green river is where we are going, it is a valley that people can see and feel extremely amazing, the locals also call this valley the butterfly valley, because when you look at it, this valley is like the two wings of a butterfly, the water of the green river eventually pours into this valley, the butterfly valley leads to a very deep underground river, but because of the complex terrain in the valley, we may only be able to use ropes and other tools to fall slowly.
According to the locals, every summer and autumn come in this valley, at the end of winter and the beginning of spring, there will be some peculiar sounds, in the distance, it seems to be the chirping of birds, and in the near distance, it is like the crisp sound of stones hitting stones, it is said that there are brave villagers who have entered here, and have seen some strange-looking creatures, looking like cockroaches, but they are very large, like dogs, they are all black, they run when they see the light, and they will make a sharp and piercing howl.
As soon as we prepared the tools, we hit the road, Zhou Chi and Xue Yuwei are both masters of the Yuan Soul realm, so they are responsible for exploring the most dangerous southwest region, and we are going to the more stable and safe northeast region, Lin Qiwei, Ye Xin, Zhang Long, Xia Qing, plus me, there are exactly five people, it stands to reason that Zhang Long and Xia Qing should not be involved, Zhang Long is a member of the special commission department, and he does not need to participate in the mission, and Xia Qing does not belong to the supernatural investigation team, so he should not need to participate.
It's just that the two of them insisted on accompaniment, so we couldn't refuse, so we had to take the two of them on the road together.
Entering this valley, we are using a traditional bamboo raft to enter, in ancient times, like this kind of long mountain river, some ancients without boats, will build a simple and easy to use bamboo raft, because the bamboo is empty, put on the water has a very strong buoyancy, so the load capacity of the bamboo raft is also very good, several of us use two bamboo rafts, Ye Xin and Xia Qing share one, Lin Qiwei and I also want Zhang Long to use one.
Moving slowly on the water, you can soon hear the singing, which is the song of the villagers singing on the way up the mountain, and their songs echoing in the valley.
Zhang Long stretched his waist and said, "It's so quiet this place, compared to the hustle and bustle of the city, this place makes my body and mind feel relaxed." ”
The breeze blows across the water and around us all.
Surrounded by green mountains and green waters, such a place is both quiet and gives people a mysterious and unknown feeling.
Lin Qiwei looked ahead with a smile and said: "I have heard that when poets such as Du Fu, Su Shi, and Li Bai were traveling, they often took a small boat to see the scenery of the world, and also left a lot of quatrains. ”
I complained: "You are amazing, I can't memorize these ancient poems." ”
When we set off, it was five o'clock in the afternoon, and now we have been traveling for about two hours, the river is very calm, and we are moving forward, the water is very slow, and the speed of the raft is very slow, so although it has taken a long time, we are still some distance from the end at this time.
It was completely dark now, and we were on a dark lake, so quiet that it felt a little creepy.
Lin Qiwei lit the kerosene lamp on the bamboo raft with fire, which was the only light on the lake.
I was standing on the bamboo raft and saw Zhang Long squatting on the ground, and he was holding three copper coins.
This is a kind of divination, three coins, with the obverse for the yang, the reverse for the yin, the yang for three, the yin for two, three copper coins thrown together, once for a line, accounted for six times for the six, is for a hexagram, the hexagram corresponds to its corresponding phase.
It's a simple divination technique, but it's very useful and does have a certain amount of foresight.
I watched Zhang Long lose the copper coin six times, and this was the first hexagram he calculated.
The calculated results are based on the sorted results.
My heart is like a boulder falling into the water, stirring up a thousand waves.
A great omen!
Zhang Long's face also changed, and he quickly put away the three coins.
"Hehe, this thing doesn't count."
He gave me a sloppy look, then pointed around again.
"Don't you think it's too quiet, it stands to reason that on dog days like this, there should be cicadas and birds chirping."
Lin Qiwei frowned and said, "It's really too quiet, it feels like a dead place here." ”
Just when we felt strange, there was a sudden movement in the location of Ye Xin and Xia Qing.
As if in trouble, I vaguely heard the roar of a beast.
"Oh no, they're in trouble!"
"I'm going to help them!"
Lin Qiwei's action was very fast, he threw a rope, the rope was thrown far away, and it just landed on Ye Xin's bamboo raft about a hundred meters away from us, and there was a hook lock on the rope, which happened to hook the gap at the end of the bamboo raft, he tried to see if the knot was strong, and felt that it was no problem to step on this rope and approach the bamboo raft where Ye Xin and them were.
At a closer distance, we also saw what Xia Qing was dealing with now, the human body, the fish tail, and the back had fins, such an image made me have to think of the legendary merman, the merman, the fishtail human body, the mermaid of the supernatural person, the mermaid recorded in the ancient classics is different from the mermaid in Western mythology, the shark silk they produce is not wet in the water, and when they cry, the tears will turn into pearls. The merman's oil, once burned, will not be extinguished for 10,000 years.
These mermen are holding weapons in their hands, they look a bit like guns, the heads of the spears are crystals with purple luster, although they are human bodies, but the sound they make is like that of wild beasts, although their bodies only have fish tails, their speed in the water is unusually fast, they keep moving forward beside the bamboo raft, sometimes emerging from the water, and stabbing Ye Xin and Xia Qing with their sharp spears.
Just when I was looking at it for a while, Zhang Long shouted: "Boy, what are you still doing, there are more around us!" ”
After he finished speaking, I saw about four black shadows floating next to our bamboo raft, the speed was like a ghost, it was difficult for the naked eye to catch up, I stood cautiously in place, Zhang Long and I handed each other's backs to each other, we were back to back, we could feel the tension of each other's muscles.
Suddenly, there was a large splash on the surface of the water, and two shadows were like dragons coming out of the sea, attacking Zhang Long and me.
The light emitted by the purple crystals is painted as a beautiful light and shadow in the dark night.
In the face of this sudden attack, Zhang Long and I were also prepared.
I was holding the Hanmei sword, and he was holding a burning stick, and I heard Zhang Long say that the name of this stick was the exorcist stick.
I blocked this blow with my sword, and instantly felt the amazing power of the other party.
Zhang Long and I both felt the pressure of the other party, and we couldn't fight back-to-back at the moment.
The two of us each got around and fended off the merman's attack.
Zhang Long smiled and said, "I didn't expect these guys to have a lot of strength, and they almost discounted Lao Tzu's fire and three fire sticks." ”
Next, the two of us fought back and forth with these two mermaids.
Although these mermaids do not have a high IQ, their hunting skills are engraved in their bones.
In the face of our counterattack, they can all react in time, which is very headache.
