The next scene went against the common sense of physics. Ling Hao walked towards the tower step by step as if he were on land. Suddenly, with a "rumbling" sound, all thirteen stone statues walked towards the tower.
He quickly gathered around, and traces were drawn out on the seabed. It was obvious that there were guide rails underneath.
What is surprising is that these stone statues may seem bulky, but their movements are quite fast. They were grouped into groups of three and surrounded Ling Hao. The stone axes were either cutting vertically, cutting horizontally, or lifting them up, and they actually cooperated with each other.
It's just right and looks hard to resist.
"Damn, the level of these stone men is much better than the ones in Rasputin's treasure. The coordination between each other and the cutting angle of the stone ax have been specially designed. There are no dead ends at all!" Tian Yong said in shock.
Xueting punched him on the shoulder: "You still have time to sigh here, please help!" The two took out SPP-1, aimed at the stone statue and fired. This is a diver's pistol specially designed for frogmen.
, has four barrels, loaded with four bullets at the same time, the warhead is as long as a pencil, the effective range at 20 meters underwater is 11 meters, and the effective range at 40 meters underwater is only 6 meters. This little damage
It's okay to deal with divers or sharks, but it's a joke to deal with stone statues. After a while of "dinging, clanging", it just leaves some small craters on the stone statues.
However, Ling Hao is not a soft persimmon. He is the fighting champion in the military academy and the king of unarmed killing among the special forces. Not to mention that he is still in the state of "Zhenhai Longhu". He raised his left foot,
He directly used the soles of his feet to press the handle of a stone ax that was hitting his knee. He tilted his head back to avoid a stone ax that was slashing towards his Tianling Gai. He pressed hard on the surface of the third stone ax that was hitting his shoulder with his left hand.
After a period of training on Shui Lingxing, Ling Hao's control over the power of "Zhenhai Longhu" was much higher than when he was in the Aegean Sea. The power was so powerful that it was beyond the scope of human beings. One punch could hit nearly
With a force of 800 kilograms, you must know that even the boxing champion Tyson's punch that exploded in an instant was only 224 kilograms. Under his sudden press, how could the long handle of the stone ax, which was not as thick as his wrist, withstand it? It was struck with a "click"
He pressed it down, and the huge ax fell to the ground, raising a cloud of sand.
Once the trinity's attack is broken even a little, it will immediately end in collapse. Although the bodies of the stone statues are hard, the joints that allow them to move are relatively fragile. Ling Hao is a master of joint techniques such as "grabbing hands", and only
Seeing him wrapping his arm around the arm of a stone man, he suddenly lifted it up, and the elbow joint of the stone man was immediately twisted. When the other stone man slashed with his axe, he just struck the axe at a tricky angle.
After pushing, with some skill, the shoulder joint of the stone man suddenly shattered. In an instant, the three stone statues were destroyed by him. What happened next was not complicated. Ling Hao stood there.
He didn't move anywhere, and his movements were calm and calm, as if he were a martial arts master. Within 3 minutes, rubble was everywhere, and all 13 stone statues were destroyed by him.
Ling Hao clapped his hands, turned back to pick up the equipment, and put the oxygen tube in his mouth again. The red light on his body suddenly disappeared and he became an ordinary person again. Everyone swam to him and looked at him as if he were a monster:
"That spell is absolutely correct, brother, I can't find any other words to describe you except 'cow b'." Tian Yong patted Ling Hao on the shoulder.
Annie looked at Ling Hao with scrutiny and said, "Are you really not a human being?"
"Do you see how I don't look like a human being?" Ling Hao smiled helplessly.
Annie suddenly showed a shy expression. Even through the diving mask, you could see the blush on her pretty face: "I haven't looked at it carefully. Why don't you let me study it carefully when you get back?"
Ling Hao was confused and froze on the spot with a confused look on his face. Shui Lingxing swam past him, glanced at him with a mocking look, and then went to open the door of the tower. The look in his eyes clearly said: "
You shameless scumbag!"
The scene inside the stone tower was beyond everyone's expectation. It was not a mechanical structure full of gears, nor an electronic structure full of various indicator lights. If I really wanted to describe it, it should be said that it was just a thick blood vessel, with the diameter of the main tube being the same.
It is two meters long, branching off into smaller blood vessels, and finally evolving into countless "capillaries", which penetrate deep into the ground like tree roots. And above the blood vessels, at the top of the tower, there is a
A huge tumor-shaped object like a heart is beating rhythmically, which must be maintaining the operation of the entire "Papua Matrix" for thousands of years.
Shui Lingxing came to an altar-like place near the thick "blood vessels", and "knelt" there with the fish's tail bent, muttering something in his mouth, as if he was praying. After a full 5 minutes, Shui Lingxing stretched out his hands and gently
Pressing lightly on the blood vessel, a wave of ripples quietly spread out, and the beating of the huge "heart" began to slow down, and finally stopped. There was a restlessness from the bottom of the sea, and the matrix protection that had sustained it for thousands of years
The hood finally disappeared.
"The matrix will restart in 5 minutes, let's get in quickly!" Shui Lingxing stood up and called on everyone to rush out of the tower and swim into the city.
The seabed is no different than the land or water surface. It is normal for humans to swim for a few minutes for a distance of just a few hundred meters. Even with a single-person diving auxiliary propeller, it is not bad to be able to move 200 meters per minute on the 50-meter-deep seabed.
Everyone swam desperately, and soon after they entered "Eubitis", the matrix protective shield was raised again, and this silent ancient city was once again isolated from the outside world.
"Are there any sharks here?" Annie looked around the street.
"I don't know, this place is like a ghost town frozen in time. I can't feel the breath of any living things. Don't you want to take pictures? Have you completely forgotten about this?" Ling Hao saw that Annie was a little nervous.
, joked.
"That's right!" Annie slapped her head, and then she remembered that she wanted to record everything on this trip. As a result, she encountered a group of sharks when she entered the water. She was so frightened that she forgot about it. If Ling Hao didn't remind her,
, she hadn’t even thought about it yet, and she had already missed a lot of wonderful scenes. If she took out any one of them, she might win the Pulitzer Prize. She quickly took out an underwater camera from her carrying bag.
Start shooting everywhere like a National Geographic photographer.
The surroundings are so quiet, there are no aquatic plants swaying with the waves, no small fish swimming around, and you can't even feel the currents. It really seems like a silent dead zone, a peaceful ghost town.
"How about we go inside and take a look?" Tian Yong asked in a low voice.
"Okay." Anyway, Ling Hao and the others didn't have any special purpose for coming here this time. They just followed Annie to hunt for adventure. They had nothing to worry about and were in a very relaxed mood.
So Tian Yong and Xueting quickly moved to the door of a stone house. They hid on both sides of the door, one on the left and the other on the right. Tian Yong gently stretched out a hand to open the door. With a "Puff", Ling Hao
I couldn't help it, and burst out laughing: "Are you two a little too into it? This is not Iraq. What are you doing? Are you planning to throw grenades into it? Are you afraid of the house?
What's the point of someone shooting at you inside?"
Tian Yong and Xueting turned to look at Ling Hao, who was joking, and Annie, who was holding a camera. They were instantly embarrassed and felt like two fools. "Sorry, tactical movements have become a conditioned reflex." Tian
He bravely relaxed the tense muscles in his body and pushed towards the closed door.
It was a wooden door that had been standing for 12,000 years. It was a miracle that it had not rotted clean. However, it could not withstand his push and instantly turned into black ash. A black smoke rose up in the water and slowly dissipated. Everyone
They filed into the house. The furnishings in the stone house were quite simple, with wooden tables and chairs, and some things like fishing nets and spear guns hung on the walls. After the experience just now, everyone did not dare to move anything, for fear of causing trouble again.
The whole house was full of smoke.
"Come over quickly and take a look!" Annie shouted from the back room.
Ling Hao swam over. This room was a bedroom. There was a stone platform like an earthen bed. On it lay the body of a female mermaid. She also held a child over a foot long in her arms. They were wrapped in
A gelatinous egg-shaped object feels almost like a toad's egg. Perhaps it is for this reason that the bodies of the mother and son were able to be preserved intact for 12,000 years.
"Don't touch them." Shui Lingxing also entered the room. "The mermaid clan has no burial customs, let alone cremation rules. Women and children have always been considered the most holy lives. Once they become dead, the clansmen will
Use the mucus secreted between the scales on your body to create such an 'immortal bubble' for them, just like your human crystal coffin, which can preserve their corpses intact and prevent them from decaying for thousands of years, as if they were immortal. And if men die,
If it is dead, it will sacrifice its body to the fish in the sea, return to the embrace of the sea, and give back to all living beings."
"The body is left at home like this? Are there still people living in this house?" Tian Yong was a little uncomfortable accepting the customs of the mermaid clan.
"No, there is a special place for the corpses of mermaids in the clan. The mermaid clan loves the ocean and respects the stars. There will be a special 'Star Palace' in the city to enshrine the 'Eternal Life Bubble' for women and children. I don't know why this pair of
Mother and son will be left at home. Let's continue to visit other homes." Shui Lingxing said.
"But we have to be quick. The compressed oxygen we bring is only enough for us to operate underwater for two hours. We also need to leave enough time to open the city gate and go out so that we can change the gas cylinder on the 'Pippi Shrimp'."
After Ling Hao looked at his barometer, he led everyone out of the house.
Looking at the houses one by one, nine out of ten rooms are empty, but it is not uncommon for women or children's bodies to be left at home. Shui Lingxing frowned deeply: "Actually, you should have imagined it.
For us, the mermaid clan, living in the water is more comfortable than living on land. Because the royal family gave us land, the land city of Eupetis was built to show the prominent status of the mermaid clan.
Logically speaking, Lu Chen shouldn't have much influence on our water clan. I had imagined that maybe I could see living clan members here, but this place feels like a tomb. I have a
It’s an ominous premonition that all the people in Eupetis may have been killed.”
Tian Yong nodded and said: "Yes, the smell of death is very strong in this city. Many, many people should have died, as if there are a large group of lonely ghosts looking at us."
Annie trembled and said: "Please don't scare people, okay? How can you still feel the breath of death in an ancient city that is more than 10,000 years old? Just make it mysterious."
Tian Yong raised the corner of his mouth and showed a meaningful smile: "We have experienced too many deaths, so we are particularly sensitive to death. This is not some physical or chemical trace left by the past. Death is death, no matter how many people it is.
The pit is still an ancient battlefield, and even after thousands of years, the evil spirit of death cannot be dissipated."
Ling Hao said: "Let's go. As we move forward, we approach one side of the city gate. The matrix shield blocks the communication signal. We have to go out before we can contact Shi Si."
Just when everyone was about to take action, Shui Lingxing suddenly turned back and looked towards the dark rear.
"What's wrong?" Ling Hao and the others became nervous.
"A large group of unknown things came towards us. I heard the sound of countless arthropod limbs scraping across the stone slabs, many, many." Shui Lingxing looked a little ugly.
"Damn, what a big scorpion!" Tian Yong suddenly shouted, and saw countless black scorpions as big as a basin coming out of nowhere, and they were densely packed and swarming towards Ling Hao and the others like a wave.
