Chapter 910 Throne

Zhang Heng used a knife to kill the half-human, half-fish-frog monster. Then he checked his diving equipment, especially the gas cylinder, to confirm that it was not damaged in the roll and impact. Then he asked Ni who was aside. Li gestured to ask if she was okay.

Nelly was full of doubts now, but she couldn't ask them out underwater.

But it felt good to meet her companions again, especially at this time. If it hadn't been for Zhang Heng's timely appearance, Nili almost thought she would be buried in this underwater tunnel, or like those pearl fishing carvings on the wall. Women were abducted by these ugly and terrifying monsters.

But this is obviously not the time to reminisce and express gratitude. Nili had already consumed a lot of compressed air breaking the rock wall before, and Zhang Heng's consumption in the battle just now should have been considerable. The two of them were still trapped in the corridor. If If you can't return to the sea before the air in the tank is exhausted, you can only sleep here forever, accompanied by these terrifying wall carvings.

Nili originally thought that Zhang Heng would show his gentlemanly behavior and explore the road ahead of her, but she didn't expect that the latter just made a gesture to let her go first, and seemed to still intend to continue hiding behind her.

This explains why Zhang Heng was clearly following her but refused to show up. Zhang Heng was obviously using her as bait.

But Nili was not stupid, and she quickly realized why Zhang Heng did this. She had seen the half-human, half-fish-frog monster swimming faster than an Olympic champion. If it hadn't been for a sneak attack just now, , even if Zhang Heng could hurt the monster, he couldn't stop it from escaping, let alone kill it.

However, knowing that this does not reduce the fear in Nelly's heart.

She has been diving for so many years and has encountered many strange underwater creatures, but this is the first time she has seen a real monster under the sea. It has a humanoid body but has some characteristics of fish, especially the opponent. The stern smile on his face will make people shudder just thinking about it.

What she saw and heard during this dive completely overturned her common sense and understanding.

Nelly chose to be a diving guide not only because of her father’s influence, but also because she is full of love for diving and the underwater world. There are many unknown beauties here, waiting for divers to discover. In Nelly's opinion, every dive is a sweet encounter.

But that was before meeting this half-human, half-fish-frog monster.

Now she sees the terror beneath this tranquility. As long as she thinks of this kind of monster living under the sea, she is not even sure if she still has the courage to approach the sea again.

Of course, this is what happened after she left here. Now she needs to move forward and find a way out.

Fortunately, she realized that Zhang Heng was following her and would come to her rescue when she was in crisis, which gave her a sense of comfort.

Especially the calm expression on the latter's face gave Nelly a lot of courage.

Nili didn't know how Zhang Heng was able to fight with that monster without feeling scared at all. Especially considering Zhang Heng's almost zero diving experience, most people's legs would probably weaken from fear at this time. It's already good enough to run away without turning around, let alone stand up.

But Zhang Heng just killed the monster with his bare hands without even blinking.

This also made Nelly curious about Zhang Heng's identity. Soldier, policeman? Or he was simply a frogman who had received special underwater training, but Zhang Heng didn’t seem to have much military temperament. In fact, thinking back on it now, Nili didn’t even know what kind of temperament Zhang Heng had. He seemed like A drop of water can blend into the ocean anytime and anywhere.

In addition, Nili also wanted to apologize for her previous misunderstanding of Zhang Heng. At that time, she was focused on finding Han Lu and felt that Zhang Heng was only selfish when he stopped her. But now it seems that the other party is really just innocent. to remind her of possible dangers. Nili regretted that she had not followed Zhang Heng's advice, otherwise she would not have put herself in danger.

Nelly was just thinking wildly as she swam forward.

Considering the remaining air volume in the tank, her speed was not too fast, but it was definitely not slow either. However, the depth statistics on the diving computer were still increasing, and the pressure in Nelly's heart was also increasing.

Fortunately, when she reached about forty-five meters, she clearly felt that the tunnel began to rise again, which also meant that they were finally no longer running all the way to the depths of the sea.

At this point, Nelly knew that she could not turn back. Even if the crack miraculously opened again, she probably would not be able to return to the water before the gas in the cylinder was exhausted, so now she also We can only bet that there is a way back to the sea at the other end of the tunnel.

Compared to Nili's anxiety, Zhang Heng who was following behind was much calmer.

It can be seen from those wall carvings that these half-human, half-fish-frog creatures will kidnap some ordinary people from time to time to combine with them, and the people kidnapped by them cannot stay underwater for a long time like them, so They must have a secret place where ordinary people can live.

At the same time, since these things are aimed at him, the abduction of Han Lu is obviously to threaten him, and only the living Han Lu has the value of threatening him. This is why Zhang Heng judged that the end of the corridor is not a dead end.

Facts also proved his inference.

The two swam for a while, and Nelly suddenly found that the field of vision in front of her eyes had become wider. At the same time, the red sea water was gradually getting lighter. When Nelly saw the surrounding scene clearly, she realized that she was in a In the magnificent underwater palace.

Unlike the specious ruins outside, this palace looks like it was built artificially.

The ancient stone pillars hold up the dome of the palace. Those stone pillars are so big that it takes at least three to four people to hug each one. It is at least twenty meters high, and there are actually dozens of stone pillars like this.

In addition, the top of the palace is occupied by a giant stone carving. However, unlike the easy-to-understand stone carvings outside, the things carved on this stone carving are obscure and difficult to understand. They look a bit like a star map in the sky. Or maybe it was just random graffiti by an unknown entity. The crazy lines seemed to burst the stone wall. Nelly just stared at it for a while, then felt dizzy and had to quickly retract her gaze.

Then her eyes shifted to the two thrones at the back of the hall.

They are made of some kind of gold-like metal. They are still shining brightly after thousands of years. They are as big as the stone pillars and are obviously not prepared for humans. Nelly thought about it again The leader of those half-human, half-fish-frog monsters seen on the previous wall carvings.

These two thrones were prepared for them.
