Part 6 The South China Sea Returns to the Ruins Chapter 46 Gu Ding Iron Tree


Fatty, Guchai, and I never expected that the inside of the cave was criss-crossed and resembled an ant nest.

In addition to the corpses, there were countless living mackerel fish hidden in it.

The incident happened suddenly, but we still knew that it was difficult to touch its edge, so we hurriedly hugged the dead baby and swam into a tomb behind us where the bones of the sharks were hidden to hide.

I turned off the diving flashlight, held the water-dividing sword and guarded the entrance of the cave, and blocked the cave with the remains of the sharks in the tomb.

Fatty and Guchai held the deep coral hole with their sharp blades.

They felt the water flow outside and seemed to have countless mackerels swimming on the coral trees.

They couldn't help but secretly feel scared.

If they entered the hole half a step too late, what would happen next?

I was afraid that I would be bitten to pieces by these evil spirits on the bottom of the sea.

After the Qin and Han Dynasties, the sharks on the sea were almost extinct, and it was often tens or even hundreds of years before sailors occasionally saw them in the sea.

It is said that this is because all mackerels are female and do not reproduce by laying eggs, but by half-ovum and half-birth.

Scientists cannot explain how they reproduce to this day.

There are only various legends passed down by fishermen and fishermen, which describe the sharks as being sexually promiscuous and able to go ashore to have sex with others, but these are not credible.

In ancient times, sharks were also a name for sharks, but this was probably a misunderstanding.

Sharks looked ugly and ferocious, with forelimbs similar to human hands.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, some people had already caught live sharks to make lamp oil.

Westerners believed that they were a type of mermaid.

In fact, mermaids were mostly found in the East China Sea and very few in the South China Sea, but it cannot be said that there were absolutely none.

The mermaid is a four-legged fish that looks like a human.

It has an extremely long lifespan, is agile by nature, and can ride waves on the sea.

Eating its meat can cure all kinds of diseases and prolong life.

It is much more precious than the mermaid, which is only used for making lamps and fuel.

Although mermaids are rare and rare, they are more common than sharks in recent times.

Although no one has ever caught them alive, they have been sighted frequently.

The genus of shark scales has been almost extinct for nearly thousands of years, but unexpectedly, there are still so many sharks in this isolated coral cave.

I covered the head of my diving flashlight and quietly shined a light on the criss-crossed nests of sharks deep in the coral cave.

Only the skinny sharks could shuttle back and forth in the narrow place, and no divers were allowed to pass.

There was no way to go inside, so I entered rashly. , so as not to be stuck in a dilemma.

The fat man thought he was very experienced, so he made a gesture and told us that we should use diving explosives to detonate, kill a group of mackerel, and then use the chaos to fight a bloody way back to the surface.

Guchai was grabbed on the arm by a shark, leaving five blood marks.

He was feeling an unknown evil fire in his heart.

When he saw this, he rushed out with a knife to catch a live shark and stabbed it with a white knife into a red one.

The knife comes out.

I slapped Guchai on the head and told him not to go out and die just because of his brute strength.

Even if you are a dragon, you can crush a few nails.

Then I took the explosive from the fat man's hand and made a bold move.

The plan gradually emerged in his mind, and when he was about to take action, the shark's corpse that was suddenly blocking the entrance of the cave was suddenly pulled out by a huge force, followed by a black shark's head that poked in.

I cursed inwardly as quickly as I could, and held out the Water Dividing Sword in my hand, the tip of the sword coming out of the shark's mouth.

The coral cave was suddenly filled with blood, and the beam of the diving flashlight was blocked.

I couldn't see anything, so I had to draw out my dagger and aim at the hole, stabbing randomly.

I don't know if they all hit a mackerel or something else.

In the turbid water flow, there are dots of cold light.

It turns out that mackerel lives in the dark and cold water all year round.

Just like those deep-sea fish, in order to adapt to the harsh living environment, they either become extremely developed in touch or develop protruding eyes.

The mackerel belongs to the latter group.

Their eyes all bulge out of their sockets, like two natural light-emitting devices in the water.

Brutal light flashes in front of the cave entrance, and several more mackerel fish block the coral hole.

The three of us each held the sharp weapons used by people in ancient times to slay dragons and clams underwater, and relied on the narrow terrain to kill the mackerel that came in one by one.

However, oxygen and manpower are limited, and it is difficult to support them over time.

Moreover, there are too many mackerels around the coral tree fossils.

They are not like sharks that compete for food and the corpses of their own kind, but only like human flesh and blood.

They gathered in layers at the entrance of the cave and were completely surrounded.

The fat man picked up the explosive I dropped and wanted to detonate it.

When I saw his actions, I couldn't help but despair.

Now the sky is not responding, and the earth is not working.

I really didn't expect that the boat would capsize in this gutter, but at this time I would rather It would be better to kill them all with explosives and carry a few mackerels on their backs than to be dragged out and quartered alive by them.

As soon as the fat man held the dynamite ingot, a mackerel suddenly jumped past me and pounced on Guchai.

One person and one shark got entangled in one place, bumped into Fatty, and knocked the explosives out of Fatty's hand.

Ryūto Guchai was extremely fierce in the water, just like most bloodthirsty and vicious aquarium tribes.

The more blood he saw, the more blood he saw.

The viciousness in his bones became stronger and stronger.

He pressed the dragon arc in his hand against the shark's mouth.

The evil shark bit hard, biting on the blade, and its mandible was cut into several pieces, but it still didn't flinch and pounced harder.

I was using my water-splitting sword to block the shark that came in from the hole.

When I saw Guchai being grabbed by the injured shark in its mouth and struggling to escape, I quickly reached out and grabbed the shark's bloodshot eyeball, and then pulled it outward. , and grabbed out the whole mackerel eyeball protruding from the eye socket, including the muscles and flesh.

The mackerel couldn't bear the food anymore and rushed out.

However, under the severe pain, it scratched the diving bag that Guchai was carrying.

It has sharp fingertips and claws.

Pulling and scratching, the sealed bag was torn open, and the remains of the stillborn fetus inside fell out.

Although the blood and water around it were turbid, the stillborn fetus's face twitched in the water, as if it suddenly came to life.

The large group of mackerels surrounding the entrance of the cave seemed to have encountered some plague god.

They hurriedly fled away and scattered completely.

I hurriedly grabbed the deformed baby and looked at each other at the bottom of the water with the fat man and Guchai.

Even though they were wearing frog goggles, they could not conceal their surprised expressions.

The sharks are so ferocious that even the largest and most ferocious "Kilosaurus whale" in the deep sea would be chewed into bones if it collided with these evil ghosts.

How could they turn around and run away after seeing these fetuses?

My heart couldn't stop beating wildly for a while.

I lowered my head and looked at the fetal body in my hands.

Under the light and shadow of the water, it seemed to be as alive as life.

Perhaps the fetus was deformed due to the lunar eclipse, and it had a kind of moon-broken fetus. gas.

Shark-scaled mermaids are all greedy for the essence of the bright moon.

When they see these stillborn fetuses that have been induced by the moon's eroding sky, they are like snakes and scorpions, and they are afraid to run away.

The underwater situation is complicated, and I don’t have time to think about it.

Anyway, it seems now that these three stillborn corpses are the most effective talismans against underwater evil spirits.

We can take this opportunity to dive into the water and look for the so-called statue.

Shocking Cauldron.

So the fat man and I also took out the fetus from the bag.

The three of us hugged it and groped out of the coral cave.

As the mackerels fled, the endless ghost octopuses in the water began to swim out in groups again.

This group of dark underwater elves emit waves of light as the water flows, illuminating the coral trees like a crystal dragon palace.

The ghost octopus never comes to the surface, and does not have the characteristics of ordinary aquatic animals to respond to the moon.

It is not afraid of the deformed stillborn fetus we are holding.

It only rolls and dances back and forth around it.

We no longer dared to rely on our strength and went straight to the bottom of the water.

At a depth of about thirty meters, we saw a huge cauldron trapped in coral fossils.

The diameter of this cauldron was so large that it was even smaller than the sacred tree on the seabed.

At every turn, there are fossils of an entire Coral Iron Tree growing in it.

We approached the belly of the cauldron and found that the giant cauldron was a naturally occurring stone basin-shaped rock with several man-made copper cauldrons inside.

There were dozens of giant chains as thick as old trees around it.

They were not deep into the vortex.

I wonder if they had ever been locked.

What a huge thing.

I made a turning gesture to the fat man and told him that this natural giant cauldron did not look like any other cauldron.

It was clearly like a huge stone turntable, and there were copper grooves and cauldrons inside.

These things we have never seen in our lives.

I've seen it before and heard it before.

It doesn't look like a mechanism at all, but more like a huge bonsai placed on the bottom of the sea.

After walking half a circle around the giant cauldron, I didn't see any "Zhen Gua" mark, and I didn't know where to put the three-month-old monstrous remains.

At this time, Guchai, who was following me, reached out and pulled my leg, pointing to the depths of the water for me and Fatty to watch.

Through the light waves of the ghost octopus, we could see a huge gap in the coral fossils at the bottom of the water.

The gap was wide and deep, like a deep stream.

The water inside was dark and not even a ghost octopus could enter it.

Occasionally, some strange-shaped fish would swim in with their heads and tails swaying, but none of them could get in or out.

After watching for a long time, no living thing could be seen coming out of the deep stream.

The water there was full of vortices, and strong suctions could be felt in the distance.

There is a large stone slab beside the deep stream.

Judging from its appearance, it may be the remains of an ancient monument.

What is engraved on it cannot be seen for a long time.

I looked at the abyss under the coral fossil rock formation and asked Guchai if he knew where it was.

Guchai made gestures for a long time, but Fatty and I didn't understand it clearly, but the water there was too deep and people would be swept away by the turbulent currents as soon as they passed by.

Walk.

I thought to myself that the place was probably where the remains of the keel were.

It was dangerous and unpredictable, not to mention that without heavy diving equipment, it would be difficult to go deep inside to find out what was going on.

The first task now is to find out the truth about the ancient tripod next to us and see if it is a mechanism for ancient corpses to be buried at sea.

If the zombies can really come to the surface, we can take the opportunity to follow them.

Now that the supplies and equipment were all used up, life and death depended on it, so he didn't pay much attention to the situation in the deep stream and continued to observe carefully around the giant cauldron at the bottom of the water.

There is another huge cave in the coral forest fossils on the other side of the undersea stone cauldron.

Fatty and I crouched beside the cauldron and peered around for a while, but found nothing unusual.

But Guchai had extraordinary eyesight under the water.

He seemed to be able to see some dark, crawling giant thing in the cave.

He signaled that it was very dangerous inside and must not be approached.

The fat man and I saw that Guchai was frightened by the thing in the cave.

We expected it to be something unusual.

The three of us did not dare to move without permission and hurriedly turned over and swam into the cauldron.

This place is out of reach of the light of the Ghost Octopus, so we had to use a diving flashlight to illuminate it.

Among the several bronze tripods around, there were all winches with copper grooves and chains.

It seemed to be some kind of mechanism, but I didn’t know how to do it.

Use startup.

The fat man shook the stillborn baby in his hand and asked me where to put it.

I looked around, thinking that these fetuses that were damaged by the moon were probably just to disperse the swarms of evil sharks underwater, and were not meant to be placed in this giant cauldron.

This thing is so light that it floats up as soon as you let go.

The Hentian family is familiar with the habits of the aquatic tribe.

It must be that the ancestors of humans knew the weakness of the shark.

Otherwise, with the dangers of this underwater area, who would be able to get down and touch this cauldron.

It seems that how did we get these three stillborn corpses down, and how do we have to carry them back.

When we ignored it, Guchai used his goldfish eyes to notice something under the coral iron tree in the tripod.

He gestured to us and swam over first.

The fat man and I were worried that he had made a mistake, and wanted to call him back to join us, but because we couldn't open our mouths, we wanted to reach out and grab him.

The guy was as slippery as a loach and had swam ahead, so we had to hold on to the cauldron.

The copper chain followed closely and swam to the coral tree.

There is a black rotten wood coffin locked under the iron tree.

Although the wood is good, it has corroded under the water and has fallen off piece by piece when touched by hand.

I am getting more and more puzzled.

Before the Qin and Han dynasties, stone coffins and copper coffins were mostly used.

Wooden coffins were very rare, but the wood was as good as lint.

It is hard to say whether it was a wooden coffin.

But the wooden box, as black as charcoal, was just the right size to hold an adult's body, and the long, rectangular one looked very much like a coffin.

Before I could take a closer look, the fat man had already opened up the mud-like wood, and there was a green corpse inside.

The three of them saw that the corpse's energy was forced by the water waves, and it turned green as if alive, and they all ate it.

Shocking, how could there be such a thing under the water?

There was a layer of dim and weak green fluorescence inside the black wooden coffin.

I hurriedly shined the beam of my diving flashlight over it, and saw a bronze figure covered in green corrosion among the rotten wood.

The shape of the bronze figure seems to be that of the common corpse figurines in ancient times.

That is, the tomb owner did not have the bones to be buried for some reason.

The human form was often made of gold, jade or bronze, and the tomb owner wore the clothes he wore during his lifetime, and placed them in the coffin as clothes.

Corpse figurines replace the dead.

I calmed down, pushed away the rotten wood on the bronze figure's face, and completely dismantled the ancient wooden boards.

Then I took a closer look, and I was even more confused.

It seemed that this bronze figure was not a figurine, because the figurines were not buried with him at all.

Its status is equivalent to that of the owner of the tomb.

It has always been very noble, must be made with serious features, and has extraordinary appearance and appearance.

It is also very rare.

Almost none can be seen now
