The sudden fall of the stone door was indeed unexpected, after all, no one had stepped on any obvious trap.
Seeing that the road was blocked, everyone stepped on the stone platform and quickly returned to the door. Wang Cai, who was standing at the front, slammed the stone door with both palms, but the stone door remained motionless like a broken dragon stone.
Cui Fengyu pressed the stone door lightly with her hand and charged up a thunderbolt move, but it did not cause much damage to the door-sealing stone.
Wang Cai wanted to try again, but the rock above his head began to fall with a lot of gravel as the two of them struck.
It was inevitable that she would be buried underneath, Song Qian stopped her in time and said:
"Team Wang, don't try it. Since you can seal it with a stone door, you won't be able to open it easily. Moreover, the mechanisms in the other world must be aimed at people with super powers."
Chen Ke asked curiously:
"Why do the original residents here even have institutions in their own temples? Don't they worship themselves?"
Ji Han pointed to the pool and said:
"If we insist on pursuing rationality, it can only mean that the way people enter the temple is by water, and those of us who take the land route are targeted."
Eggplant laughed when he heard this and said:
"So, Chen Ke's rescue move when he fell into the water just now was correct."
As soon as he finished speaking, a few water splashes suddenly rose in the pool behind the six people.
There is something in the water.
Everyone turned around and became alert. If the original residents here distinguished the invaders through land and water, then they would definitely not just imprison them, but should eliminate them in some way.
At this time, the eggplant is closest to the center of the pool and the place where the water has just appeared.
Fearing that he would be attacked first and then unable to defend himself, he squatted down on the stone platform to lower his center of gravity. Cui Feng on the opposite side also took the same posture.
Wang Cai asked:
"Did you see what it was?"
Cui Feng raised his hand and said:
"Shh, it's in the water, coming here."
After the dark pool was silent for a moment, there was a "splash" and small splashes of water exploded in front of Cui Feng.
Then a sea snake with black circular patterns all over its body jumped out of the water. The moment it came out of the water, it moved as fast as a predatory crocodile.
However, Cui Feng was well prepared. He reached out and grabbed the snake's head almost at the same time. The body of the sea snake with a black ring pattern wrapped around Cui Feng's arm at the same time.
Before everyone could worry about Cui Feng, they saw Cui Feng using one hand to blow up the snake's head with a thunderous strike, and then threw the broken snake's body into the water.
The whole set of movements was clean and neat, without any concern that it was a venomous snake.
At the place where the sea snake carcass was discarded, water splashed again, and it seemed that there were many such sea snakes underwater.
Wang Cai reminded:
"Team Cui, be careful, the black-ringed sea snake is very poisonous."
Looking at the churning puddle, Eggplant cursed:
"Fuck, didn't you say that most of the ancient tribes had simple folk customs? How come there are so many sea snakes to entertain people who enter the temple?"
"Brother Ji is right. It's probably a trap set for intruders. However, times have changed, and this kind of setup similar to a rain basin has long been out of date."
As Chen Ke said this, he took out several electric shock bombs from his bag and threw them evenly into the water.
"Don't touch the water yet."
Then he cracked his thumb, and the electric shock bombs in the water simultaneously released high-voltage electric shocks. From above, it looked like several electric eels were discharging at the same time.
As the electric current was released, many black-ringed sea snakes immediately floated to the water.
Eggplant touched his chin and said:
"That's right. You are such a good thing. It would be a waste if you don't electrofish. Is that okay?"
Chen Ke shook his head and said:
"No, you need to shock it a few more times. Snake skin is a good insulator. To ensure safety, you need to shock it a few more times."
Eventually, at least dozens of black-ringed sea snakes floated on the surface of the Blackwater Pool.
Not to mention being bitten, just looking at it is very uncomfortable.
After the safety hazards in the water were eliminated, everyone began to search for a way out along the stone platform. However, the hall of the temple was so big, and apart from the entrance, there was only a submerged corridor.
Chen Ke pointed to the simple relief mural on the wall and said:
"The carvings on it seem to be what Rota Island looks like. Are there any exit instructions?"
Eggplant said:
"Don't be stupid, lock people up inside, and then carve exit instructions on the wall? Do you think these people from the ancient tribe are as honest and honest as you?"
However, listening to the conversation between the two, Ji Han was also attracted by the murals on the wall. He looked at the next three or four paintings in succession and said doubtfully:
"This relief mural seems to be talking about how to go to the bottom of the water."
When everyone heard that they had clues about where to go, they all pointed their flashlights at the reliefs on the wall, which should be the first one seen from the entrance.
Eggplant looked at the first picture and said "hmm":
"That's not right. This guy's carving skills are average. He made a mistake. Look, Rota Island is actually circular in the mural."
Everyone also came over, and sure enough, on the first picture, there was a circular island carved with many simple houses on it.
When I first came in, I didn't think of this picture as an island at all. I thought it was just a simple circle.
When I looked at the second picture, only half of the circular island was left, and it became what it is now.
Song Qian guessed:
"Maybe it's crustal activity. This place is originally close to the trench. These islands are also caused by crustal activity. Maybe it's caused by earthquakes or submarine volcanoes."
There is some truth in what Song Qian said, but a ring-shaped island neatly cut off in half is indeed a bit unbelievable. It is completely a miraculous work of nature, which is really hard to believe.
Compared with the first two murals, the third one seems a little special.
A huge whirlpool appeared in the center of the sea surrounded by a semi-circular island.
Eggplant smiled and said:
"It was quite avant-garde. There were flush toilets at that time."
If you didn't say that this is the floor plan of Rota Island, it really looks like half a flush toilet.
The fourth picture also depicts a semi-circular island, but the large whirlpool in the center of the sea disappeared, and instead, many people swam ashore from the sea.
In the fifth picture, all the original houses on the island have disappeared, and in the center of the original location, people are building a temple.
In the sixth picture, which is also the last picture, a large whirlpool once again appeared in the center of the sea. There were no residents, no houses, and no other content. Only a semi-circular island and a built temple were left.
Chen Ke complained:
"I suddenly felt that those who left words on the wall were quite kind. I didn't understand this mural at all."
Captain Wang Cai, who had been silent, replied:
"The meaning of the painting seems to be that the people on the island discovered the big whirlpool by chance, and the residents here went to the sea through the big whirlpool."
Ji Han flipped back, looked at three or four more pictures, shook his head and said:
"That's not right. They didn't discover this vortex by chance, but someone guided them to open it."
Seeing that no one understood, Ji Han continued to explain:
"Look at the third and fourth pictures. After the big whirlpool appeared, a group of people came out of the sea. Look at the fifth and sixth pictures again. After these people appeared, all the houses on the island were demolished and the temple was rebuilt.
Then everyone on Rota Island followed the maelstrom and went down. This was obviously taught by the group of people who came out of the sea."
