Chapter 136: The Giant's Remains
The South China Sea Aquatic Tribes had disappeared long before the systematic civilization of the human race on the continent appeared.
The descriptions of aquariums in the literature, especially the pictures, are basically all speculations about them by later scholars.
Sometimes, the bones of the aquarium will be occasionally salvaged by large fishing boats, embalmed by scholars, and sent to museums in large towns, or as gifts for foreign gifts.
Since the water tribe only appears in the South China Sea region, there are also many scholars who claim that the water tribe is not extinct, but the ancestor of the Hongyuan human race.
Of course, this is just a fallacy, people who know a little bit of historical knowledge know that the sea tribe and the early Hongyuan people have a short period of coexistence, and some of the early Hongyuan murals, there are also pictures of the sea tribe helping the Hongyuan people drive away wild beasts and impart knowledge.
Touring the giant city, Ye Ling found that the hole they had just swam down was a towering building similar to a temple.
Four white square stone pillars support this simple but majestic building.
The gentle slope they had just swam on was actually the roof of the building, built in the shape of the seabed.
Although most of the later buildings of the Hongyuan people were wooden structures, a closer look at the decorative patterns on these stone pillars, as well as the style of the eaves and doors, made Ye Ling more and more convinced of the second speculation put forward by historians.
Everyone's feet once again stepped on the ground.
With the help of water beads, they can walk underwater.
Originally, the streets were paved with large white stone slabs.
Nowadays, underwater plants and corals of different colors grow out of the cracks in the rocks, bringing a desolate and dilapidated beauty.
Xiaotang was still the one with the sharpest eyes, and he saw that among the messy underwater plants, he found a stone lotus flower the size of a basin.
"Yu Shui Zhu!" she pointed to Shi Lian.
"Well, I found out, and there's one here. Ye Ling opened the bundle of slender seagrass with his hand.
"There's that too!"
"I found it too!"
Almost everyone has found the figure of the water bead.
Ye Ling tried to pick up one.
But soon, the water beads quickly dissipated in his hands, turning into tiny white foam, and finally merging with the seawater.
"Dead. Ye Ling looked at the surrounding water beads and said, "It's all dead." ”
"It doesn't matter, at least on the positive side they do grow in this soil. ”
Zhang Bu obediently squatted down and took out a metal shovel from his bag, intending to take away the soil sample.
"Don't worry, let's go shopping first, and then take the soil before leaving, and you have to carry all the way to save it. Ye Ling said.
"You're right. Zhang Bu obediently got up and said.
"Are you looking for a baby again?!" Xiaotang looked excited.
"Even if we don't look for treasures, this is the legendary city of the Aquarium, and it's good that we can bring back some knowledge about them. Ye Ling said.
"Of course, I'm a superficial person, it's better to have babes. He added jokingly.
It is no exaggeration to say that a building here is worth a hundred-person street in Yuyang City, and as far as the eye can see, this huge city is like a white labyrinth, and there is no end in sight.
"Check the sound transmission spirit stone again, you have put it on, it's easy to fall behind here. ”
After everyone checked their clothes and made sure that there were no problems, they were ready to start exploring.
"You can walk on all sides, where are we going?" Zhang Buyi asked.
Ye Ling looked around, his gaze converging on the temple behind him.
Generally speaking, if there are any secrets in a city, temples and temples are always the most likely places to hide them.
"Let's take a look at this temple first. ”
Everyone hit it off and headed for the temple.
The position where they came down just now is equivalent to a front square of the temple, and the real temple is behind him, which is a rectangular towering building, with a tower shape at the upper end, and the eaves and corners, which are similar to the Hongyuan Temple, but more different.
In front of the gate, there is a white stone statue.
The statue is parasitic with many snail-like creatures with blue or orange shells.
At a cursory glance, the statue is supposed to be a four-legged creature with a rounded body and short, thick feet.
There were so many parasites that Ye Ling couldn't tell what it was.
"Go ahead and see if there are any frescoes or other statues of gods. ”
Passing through the front square, the door to the temple in front is closed.
"It's okay, the door is wooden, you go back. ”
With that, Ye Ling pulled out the Seven Star Sword, slipped one sword on the left and right, and shot out a cross sword, and the last punch hit the place where the sword cut open, making a large hole large enough for humans to pass through.
The spirit stone lamp in the temple had been extinguished, or had not been installed at all, Ye Ling unscrewed the spirit stone lamp on his waist, and the warm light that had not been seen for a long time illuminated the surrounding area.
Everyone was about to rush in, only to see Ye Ling whisper through the sound transmission spirit stone: "Don't move, go out!"
The team members, who didn't know why, heard the nervousness in Ye Ling's words, and didn't ask the reason, and directly withdrew from the temple.
Just as the colleague exited, several beams of light worked together to illuminate most of the temple.
Everyone could see that in the middle of this temple, there was a giant.
It's not a metaphor, it's a real one, with his head bowed and his back to the crowd.
"Aquarium ......" Ye Ling pressed his heart that was beating violently with excitement, turned down the brightness of the spirit stone lamp, and slowly swam towards the front of the giant.
"Ye Ling, be careful!" Garcia reminded in a low voice.
The legendary creature is now in front of Ye Ling's eyes.
For some reason, this huge race has no record of a single word in the library of Penglai Immortal Palace.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes today, Ye Ling would really have found it hard to believe that they really existed.
The giant had no hair, and on the top of his head, there were protrusions in the shape of fish fins, and his entire skin was ice blue.
Their facial features are the same as those of humans.
The giant had been dead for an unknown amount of time, but his body had not decayed, except that his eyelids and lips had turned a deep black.
"It's safe, come in. Ye Ling told everyone.
The mysterious dark temple, the dead and incorruptible giant, everything under this abyss has a strange and oppressive atmosphere.
"Are all the giants dead?" Xiao Tang was very bold and observed closely, "Since they are all dead, what was the sea dragon afraid of just now?"
"Maybe he thought the giants were still alive?" Jia Yong said.
Xiaotang pouted, "No, it lives in the sea, and it knows more than us." ”
While everyone was chatting, Ye Ling checked the entire temple.
In terms of proportion, the interior of this temple is not spacious for the Aqua Giants, and it can even be said that it is small.
The dead giant was kneeling in the temple, occupying almost a quarter of the area of the temple, Ye Ling had never seen such a crowded temple.
