Chapter 164 Passing the Dragon Soldier

After finally crossing the cracked rock formation, I was surrounded by copper slaves staggering around. The sound of the bells and giant bowls was still ringing all around. I took the opportunity to look down at the water in the coral cave. The turbid undercurrent was rolling endlessly, and there were black scales in the water. Shaking, two shark eyes with gray fierce light were staring up at the sky.

I felt a sense of surprise and doubt in my heart. The bright moon under the water had disappeared. Why was "Grandma Shark" still refusing to return to her lair? Does it deliberately want to eat us? But then he looked up at the sky and understood the reason. He couldn't help but scream. The Moon-Tong Shenmu was pointing directly at the gap on the Ghost Island. At this moment, the sea air gradually dissipated, and the clouds that had accumulated on the sea all year round were gone. At night, on the sea The stars and the moon shine brightly, and the clear moonlight shines into Guixu. Grandma Shark looks up at the bright moon on the bottom of the sea, and is still willing to return to the underwater cave.

I saw the water ripples, and the black-scaled "Shark Grandma" jumped up from the water. Its ovaries and placenta were densely covered with mucus. It was attached to the tree like a sucker. It actually climbed up from the water. I He cursed secretly, used a diving dagger to cut off the empty scuba oxygen bottle, and threw it down to hit "Grandma Shark", but how could he stop it at all.

I urged the fat man and others above to climb up as quickly as possible and never look back. Everyone had thrown away their oxygen bottles, stuck their water daggers in the tree body, and climbed to the top of the sacred tree with all their strength. Once they got here, they Being forced to the end of the road, the fat man's legs became weak as he climbed more and more. He lowered his head and glanced down. He suddenly felt dizzy and slipped on the wet arrowstone. This place was not like water. He suddenly fell straight down. I hurriedly reached out and stretched out my hand. He grabbed hold of them, but was carried away by the force of his fall. The two of them tumbled and fell down the tree that was ten meters high.

The top of the sacred tree is broad, with many belemnites embedded horizontally and vertically. From a distance, it looks like a tree crown. It is the fossil of an ancient marine creature, in a flat and obtuse shape, with wonderful patterns similar to shells. It seems that it was not embedded by manpower, but that in the ancient maritime age, this place was once the seabed. There were many belemnites like old conch trees attached to the sea, clustered on the top of the sacred tree, forming the rare canopy wonder today. .

I was dragged off the sacred tree by the fat man. Amidst the exclamations of everyone, I felt a sudden bump on my back, and landed on a protruding belemnite. The belemnite was like the canopy of an old tree, holding us up. But this kind of fossil is a hundred times harder than a real tree crown. The impact made my bones and muscles almost break. It was so painful that my eyes went black and I almost fainted.

But the even worse thing is yet to come. The arrow stones on the giant tree are like canopies, forming hundreds of natural inclined platforms at the top of the tree, as if the colorful clouds have turned into the canopy of ancient pines and cypresses. When the tide rises, the ghost island is submerged under the sea. The sea water pours down through the hole, washing the tree crown over the years. Although the arrow stones embedded in the wooden body are long dead in it, they still inevitably generate many waves under the water pressure. There are no traces of cracks, and even some belemnites have broken and fallen.

The fat man and I landed on a piece of belemnite. Before we could get up from the sloping stone surface, the crack in the belemnite beneath us suddenly widened and extended. After a pause, it was broken from it with a "click" sound, and we were together with each other. The fossil continued to fall downwards, breaking three to five layers of belemnites before stopping its momentum.

What the fat man fears most is falling from a high place. The "powerful majesty that is invincible to all men and the pride of soaring clouds" that he usually exudes has long since disappeared. He hugged my thigh tightly and was leaning. On the slippery belemnite surface, he closed his eyes and shouted: "Commander Hu, for the sake of the party and the country, please help our brothers!"

I'm not as thick-skinned and fleshy as the fat man, so these few falls have caused unbearable pain in all my joints. The fat man hugged my thigh again, and I couldn't help but gradually slide down. I quickly gritted my teeth and used my diving dagger to stab into the trunk of the sacred tree. At least the body was temporarily fixed, but the big tendons in the legs were almost broken by the weight of the fat man. He lowered his head and looked down, and saw Grandma Shark on the bottom of the sea clinging to the trunk of the tree with the help of a turbid current, and heading up without thinking. Climbing over, the few arrow stones we had just smashed were like iron plates falling in mid-air. They were inserted into its body one by one. Blood came out gurglingly, staining the nearby seawater.

If I slipped and fell at this time, even if I was lucky enough not to be swallowed by Grandma Shark, I would still have to fall on the copper slave that was half submerged in the water, and my brain would burst. The dagger was stuck on the tree trunk, and he grabbed the edge of the arrow stone with one hand. He used all his strength to slowly pull the fat man up. As long as he stood up from the slippery stone surface, he could climb back to the sacred tree.

Although I used my legs to forcefully pull the fat man up to less than half a meter, the toughness of the diving dagger had exceeded its limit, and the blade was broken off. As a result, I could only exert upward force with the hand that was holding the belemnite. The whole body's strength was exerted here, and those fingers had become numb unconsciously, and they were about to slip out of their hands. It was impossible to recover, so they had to close their eyes and wait for death.

At this moment, my arm was suddenly grabbed by someone, and the force of falling on my legs suddenly eased. When I opened my eyes, it turned out that it was Shirley Yang who saw us in a hurry, and hurriedly climbed down with Guchai to help, and lifted the fat man and me from the arrow stone. After pulling it up, the belemnite beneath us could not bear the weight of the four people, and was immediately crushed to pieces and collapsed. We had already climbed back to the tree before that, so we were lucky enough not to fall with it.

The belemnite was extremely large, probably weighing several hundred kilograms. It suddenly fell from a high place, and it was as heavy as a thousand pounds at least. A large "belemnite" as flat as an arrowhead was seen falling from the air. It spun and rolled and fell, hitting Grandma Shark on the head. The arrow stone did not stop, and fell into the water with a "swish". The giant shark's fish head was immediately cut off in half diagonally. Blood sprayed out several meters high.

At this time, the shark's head came out of the water, and we could see the face of the shark clearly in the water. We saw that its body was several times larger than the giant salamander. Only the ancient Mosasaur, which has been extinct for tens of millions of years, could Compared with it, the body of the shark is covered with scales all over the placenta, the head is like a fish, and there are hundreds of beard-shaped tentacles on the gills, which are more than ten meters long. There are dozens of pairs of fins under the body, and the ends of the teeth are long and horizontal. , like a vine hooked on a thorn, with a fishy smell rising into the sky when it opens and closes.

It climbed on the giant tree following the surging water, and half of its head was cut off by the falling belemnite. However, it did not die immediately. Instead, it waited for its fish eyes, which were as big as balls and made of gray crystal, to look straight at it. Looking at the brilliance of the stars and the moon leaking from the dome, his expression was extremely sad and mad. He was seriously injured and refused to dive back to the bottom of the water.

There was a big blue shark trapped in the turbulent current. In his panic, he didn't choose the direction and unexpectedly hit the sacred tree. He was grabbed by Grandma Shark's probing tentacles and swallowed alive, head and tail, into his mouth, causing a stir for a moment. The blood was rolling in the middle, and Grandma Shark ignored the blood gushing from her body and squirmed with her bloody body. She continued to climb up the sacred tree with the help of her bald fins. We saw that the bloody sea monster was right below us. It swallowed the evil shark without any effort. After blowing away the ashes, the fear in my heart increased greatly. I dared not take a closer look. In desperation, I had no choice but to run desperately towards the top of the sacred tree with no way out.

At this moment, in the whale-belly-like cave rock formations, the condensed sea air gradually disappeared, and the Yin Fire suddenly lost its pale light. In the darkness, only the water of chaos could be heard surging like boiling, and the rumbling sound of the mountain cracking, as if The sky collapsed with a loud noise, and the surrounding water submerged the ruins of the ancient city. It swirled into a whirlpool of rapids under the sacred tree in the city. We climbed on the arrow stone at the top of the sacred tree and were shaken so hard that our muscles and bones were so weak that we couldn't even move. Don't dare to move.

The copper slaves who twisted countless bronze chains at the bottom of the "楗木" were all knocked over by the sea water and were shaking. Some chains could not withstand such a strong torrent and broke into several sections, and the fragments fell apart. Going out, the sacred tree that reaches from the sky to the sea is unusually tall. It is tilted and sunk in the sea, and is constantly impacted by sea surges. These chains can usually play a role in binding and preventing the giant tree from breaking. Without the ropes to bind it, this billion-dollar tree The ancient trees seemed likely to collapse in the stormy waves at any time.

Duo Ling was single and weak, and her mental quality was far inferior to the others. She was so shocked that she could not speak or move her hands under the violent tremors of the mountain and tsunami sweeping across the world. At this time, there was like a thunderbolt exploding in the sky, and there was a loud noise. The arrow stone shook for a while, her hands and feet became weak and she slipped from the stone platform.

Shirley Yang and I saw her falling from the top of the tree, and immediately reached out our hands to catch her in mid-air, but the sacred tree shook endlessly, and we grabbed the air in our hands. In the blink of an eye, Duoling fell into the rolling sea water, and she was covered in darkness. Only Grandma Shark's strange body was floating in the water, but Duo Ling's figure was nowhere to be seen. She was probably swallowed by Grandma Shark the moment she entered the water.

When Gucai saw Duoling's death, he stared with bloodshot eyes and wanted to jump into the water to look for her. I quickly grabbed his belt and dragged him forcefully. How could the person who fell still be alive? Going down to save people was in vain, but at this time, the roaring waves, landslides and sea collapses covered all the sounds, making people's ears and bones hurt, and no one could hear what they said. I couldn't help Guchai. To speak, I had to hold him down hard to prevent him from falling into the water and dying.

Suddenly a cool breeze hit my face. I looked up and saw huge water dragon-like currents falling from the dozens of sea eyes where the sea air condensed in Guixu. The dragon fire sea air in the rock formations dissipated and formed again. A sea cave that absorbs water, but this time it may be the last "sea cave" to appear in the Coral Spiral Sea. The cracking of the Dragon Fire rock layer has connected several sea caves into a winding water dragon. The falling tens of millions of tons of sea water seem to be in Guixu. A wall of water was erected in the middle.

The tension of the cracked rock formations on the sea floor caused the highest point in Guixu, the "ghost island" exposed above the sea, to split from the Tianmen Cave on the top of the mountain. A huge canyon appeared in the sea, with a drop of more than 100 meters on both sides. The sea water pours down like thunder. Although the mechanism of "Zhen Gua" is a mystery used by the ancients for funerals, they never expected that it would shake Guixu apart after a thousand years. The power of this Nanlong shock, It affects the vast sea surface of the coral spiral, and is more than a hundred miles away. There are many hexagrams in the Yi hexagram, and the hexagram of "shock up and down" is chosen as the way to die and go to the underworld. Could it be that the hexagram has foreshadowed this "shooting" The destruction and subsidence of the country where the sun flies to the moon, and the great changes that took place in "Guixu" thousands of years later?

The cracks that appear on the sea surface seem to be scars on the sea. They are about one to two hundred meters deep and seventy to eighty meters wide. The outlines and concave and convex parts are completely symmetrical, as if a large crack has been torn open in the sea surface. , the falling sea water was extremely turbulent and rapid. The top of the "桗木" we climbed to was in the middle of the Great Trench. All around and under our feet were pouring and churning sea water. The water was shaking the earth and the sky. Only the sky above our heads was surprisingly quiet. , with the bright moon in front, the shining stars are like fine quicksand covering the blue sky. Looking at the turbulent fangs in the sea and the dreamy and quiet starry sky on the sea, for a moment, people are in a trance, thinking that the night sky above is A touch of unreal dream.

Grandma Shark was also washed away by the sea water and was unable to move. However, when it saw the stars and moon in the sky shining brightly, it clung to the sacred tree with all its strength. The sea water mixed with the underground currents, and it didn't take long to fill the cracked Guixu. , but once the undercurrent on the bottom of the sea fell, a sea cave with a diameter of several miles was still formed. This sea cave is where the sacred tree sank into the bottom of the sea. The whirlpool and undercurrent poured into it endlessly, and it seemed that it would never be filled with pearls. The bottomless pit in the sea, the "Guixu" repeatedly mentioned in ancient books, finally revealed its true face. In addition to the ghost caves in the ancient Jingjue Kingdom, there are indeed some bottomless abyss in the world that are difficult to explore. , and "Guixu" is one of them.

Now, the underground currents in the "Guixu" under the oak tree have broken open, forming a powerful force field, constantly sucking in the sea water, tilting the giant tree sunk on the seabed. The interior has been hollowed out for thousands of years, creating a path to transcend the soul. In the passage, in such turbulent water flow, the wooden body was broken layer by layer, and the thousands of copper slaves fixing the wooden body around were also swept into the deep sea in pieces. The abnormal movement of the sea water brought up a huge mountain like a mountain. The waves are surging. Seeing that the separated sea is about to close, we can only look at the ocean on the arrow stones in the crown of the tree and sigh. The oak tree is a giant tree left in ancient times in the sea. It cannot really reach the sky and run to the moon. The top of the sacred tree is shorter than the sea surface. This The gap is far beyond human reach. At this time, the only way to escape is to put on wings.

As the cracks on the sea surface gradually disappeared, the sound of the sky collapsing and the sea collapsing in Guixu was submerged under the water. Only half of the sea eyes under the oak trees were astonishing. We were disheartened, exhausted mentally and physically, and empty in our minds. , climbed on the arrow stone and closed his eyes to wait for death. At this moment, the wooden end shook violently and suddenly fell into the sea. It turned out that Grandma Shark at the bottom of the sea was injured by the arrow stone. The injury was fatal, but it was strong and vicious. He did not die immediately, but still clung to the sacred tree without giving up, trying to swallow the moonlight. The swirling current in the sea cave was rapid, and it shook the wooden body. A section of the oak tree more than ten meters long was forced to break by it.

The oak tree is covered with belemnites that look like the crown of a tree. It has great buoyancy in the turbulent waves. The wooden body sinks into the seabed diagonally, so it is not swept deep into the vortex. Instead, it rises to the surface by the surge of seawater. Almost at the same time, the sea water completely closed up, covering the turbulence in the ruins below. Grandma Shark hugged the severed end of the sacred tree and floated up with her. However, due to excessive bleeding, her eyes were wide open. The giant gray eye lost its life with a look of silence, dragging a line of dirty blood behind it, drifting on the sea.

We survived from death and were actually lifted out of the sea by Grandma Shark. We were all a little stunned. Seeing the cold light of the stars and moon in the sky shining on the calm sea, we really couldn't believe that we could come out of the ruins alive. But we didn't have time. Fortunately, he survived, but he found that the body of "Grandma Shark", which was as big as a giant whale, was still clinging to this piece of oak tree. The remaining piece of wood, which was more than ten meters long, could not bear the heavy body of the sea monster. It was just a piece of wood on the sea. It floated for a moment, then was dragged by it and sank into the sea.

At this time, the giant tree has not drifted out of the ghost island submerged in the sea. The water-absorbing power of the underwater ruins has formed a vague clockwise vortex on the sea. The giant tree floats and sinks faster. In the blink of an eye, the giant tree floats and sinks faster. When I arrived, I had already sunk two-thirds of the water, and a flash occurred in my mind: "How can we leave the coral spiral without a boat? Isn't this thick broken oak tree a floating raft for crossing the sea? With it, there is still a glimmer of hope. Drift out of this devilish sea.”

Thinking of this, he didn't dare to hesitate anymore, so he called the fat man for help, reached out and grabbed the dragon arc copper knife from Guchai, and tried his best to cut off Grandma Shark's corpse wrapped around the broken wood. Gucai seemed to be crazy, his eyes were straight. There was no charm in Gou Gou, and he just kept mumbling incoherently: "Senior sister is also dead..."

Although we sympathized with him, at the critical moment of life and death, no one cared about trying to persuade him. Fatty, Shirley Yang and I raced against time to chop up Grandma Qiu’s body. Uncle Ming also crawled over like crazy and bit the card with his teeth. On the shark fin of the belemnite, in the unique stench of the sea, little bits of blood splashed on the sea, but the dead body of the shark was too big, and the scales all over the body were extremely thick, so we could only hold the water in our hands. He used the dagger in his hand, and could only watch the broken wood spinning and sinking in the whirlpool on the sea surface.

I was so anxious that my mind was jumping so high. I saw that there was really no other way. If I didn't dive to escape, I would be dragged to the bottom of the sea by Zaki and Samezu. But how much courage does it take to jump into a coral spiral infested by sharks? If you are going to die in the sea anyway, it is better to be dragged into the eye of the sea and drown than to encounter a shark's kiss.

Just when I was hesitating and wondering whether I should jump into the sea, the water suddenly surged in the whirlpool on the sea surface, and many huge rocks suddenly appeared. They lifted up the thick oak tree and the corpse of the dead shark, and slowly swayed towards it. Move west.

The stars and moon were shining brightly on the sea, but under the cold moonlight, it was impossible to see why the dark rocks were moving. Everyone didn't know what happened and couldn't help but stop what they were doing. I know that Uncle Ming has experienced a lot at sea. What happened was that this old thief was a "reactionary academic authority" on maritime affairs. He asked him what was going on with the reefs that appeared on the sea. Is it bad or good?
