Chapter 171: Giants
The map shows the area along the southeast coast, with a red circle twenty nautical miles from the shore.
Inside the red circle, strange patterns are drawn.
Murphy pointed to the pattern, barely recognizable, "Grass, sun, and ...... A mound of dirt, what does that mean?"
"It's a code word that isn't very clever." I pointed to the elements on the map, "The prefix cursive, the next day, plus the earth, is a 'tomb character.'"
"The owner of the map speculates that the location of this red circle is where the tomb is located."
"According to Zhou Wenruo's previous plan, five underground water holes will be connected to lead to seawater infusion, which will cause a large-scale collapse."
Murphy heard the voice, "According to what you say, the map wasn't drawn by Zhou Wenruo!?"
I nodded, and said in a condensed voice, "With Zhou Wenruo's level, it is absolutely impossible to draw such a precise map."
"I suspect that the book of evil arts was given to Zhou Wenruo by someone."
"And the objects here are all given to her by that man."
Speaking of this, I can't help but feel solemn.
Being able to give away such a precious thing is enough to prove that Zhou Wenruo's backstage is not simple!
Murphy asked, "What are we going to do with this room of babes?"
"It's useless anyway, take it away if you like it, and throw it here if you don't like it."
Since I was promoted to the Innocent Daoist, the elixir I needed had to be exchanged for spiritual objects of the same value.
Ordinary gold and silver mean nothing to me at all.
Murphy picked up a furoshiki, picked up the valuable one and put it inside, muttering, "I'm not greedy, it's just that these things are wasted, it's better to ......."
Buzz –
In the distance, there was a low humming sound.
This buzz is the sound of a powerful force field penetrating the surface of the water and gradually approaching.
This kind of mechanical sound, similar to the whistle of a ship, is a precursor to the appearance of the top master! .
I don't know if the other party is evil, but I am inexplicably flustered and hairy.
As a person of metaphysical cultivation, I have polished my state of mind since I was a child, and I can make sure that Mount Tai collapses in front of me without changing my face.
The feeling of inexplicable panic is the omen that was given to me in the dark.
I immediately grabbed Murphy's arm and hurriedly said, "Run!"
Murphy turned his head and said with great pity, "Hey, I haven't taken my things yet!"
"Things and lives, choose one!"
Murphy didn't know what was going on, but he honestly followed me.
Running out of the cave, we plunged headlong into the water and began to swim towards the shore.
The location of the exit of the cave, about five kilometers from the nearest coast.
The two of us wore a water avoidance charm, and our speed was much faster than that of ordinary people.
In the deep darkness of the seabed, you can only hear the gurgling sound of water glistening against your ears, and occasionally strange fish emerge from the aquatic weeds and swim past them.
But the more I swam forward, the stronger the sense of urgency of that crisis, my heart fluttered, and the hair on my body stood up!
Murphy also muttered quietly, "Hidden Dragon, why do I feel a little hairy in my heart?"
"Don't look back, keep swimming!"
I waved my arms and continued to swim forward.
Murphy and I couldn't help but roll in the water a few times when a wave hit us, and the force of the wave dragged me back into the darkness of the seabed.
Under the effect of the water avoidance charm, we stood firmly at the bottom of the water.
The moment I raised my head from the bottom of the water, I saw a huge statue standing quietly at the bottom of the dark water.
Its feet were rooted in the deepest part of the sea, its head propped up to the surface of the sea, its silver hair fluttering in the moonlight, and its face was densely folded with scales.
For the first time, I saw a giant hundreds of meters tall and covered in broken bronze armor.
The giant's broken armor was covered with dense scales, and his eyes were as red as blood, slowly flowing with blood as the water rippled.
I have been cultivating for 18 years, and my Dao heart is clear, I am not afraid of everything, and I am almost beyond life and death.
But when I saw the giant, my heart felt like it was being clenched!
The innate fear of a rat seeing a snake or a lamb seeing a pack of wolves made me forget to breathe.
Murphy's eyes were also full of horror, and he didn't dare to move when he stood still.
The giants not far away stood there, staring at us quietly.
In the next moment, another big wave hit, and the tide of the night quickly pushed us to the shore.
By the time Murphy and I coughed and scrambled to our feet from the beach, the giant in front of us had vanished without a trace.
When I think back to the giants before me, I still feel terrified.
I don't know if it was the tide that saved me, or if the giants gave up on killing me and spared my life.
Anyway, I was almost dead just now!
Murphy shook my arm in shock, "Hidden Dragon, what was that just now?"
"I...... I don't know."
I swallowed my saliva, moistening my parched throat.
The monster that appeared tonight made the uneasiness in my heart even stronger.
The water veins must be blocked as soon as possible, and the southeast coastal area must be separated from the sea with air gas.
While ensuring the safety of the Southeast Wetland Development Zone, I don't want to see the giant again!
As for what the tombs under the sea have, I have no interest in knowing.
But I'm sure of one thing.
Whoever dares to provoke that giant will surely die!
When Murphy and I went ashore, Sun Mingjin was the first to spot me and hurriedly ran forward.
Seeing that Murphy and I were not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time scratched his head a little apologetically, "Big brother, I said that I was here to help, but I didn't help anything......
"You're good at earth elementals, and you're not suitable for going into the water, so don't force it." I said with relief.
The workers quickly gathered around, and searchlights illuminated the position beneath our feet.
"Mr. Zhuge , how are you!?"
"It's fine."
I wrung a handful of water droplets from my hair, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "Tonight, you gather all the workers and work overtime to cast the foundation overnight!"
"As for the overtime pay, it will be calculated at three times the usual rate!"
Wu Xin was pleasantly surprised, and asked with some concern: "Mr. Zhuge , can you be the home of our chairman?"
"Zhuge Jun said that I am responsible for all matters on the construction site, including the dispatch of money."
Hearing this, Wu Xin went to call people happily.
At half past nine o'clock in the evening, all four hundred and fifty workers arrived, all kinds of machines roared and operated, and trucks loaded with stone rumbled.
