Tian Yong and Xueting had already opened fire at this moment, but the firepower of the SPP-1 in their hands was too poor. They only had 4 bullets in total. How could they stop so many huge scorpions.
"Get off the bottom of the sea! Scorpions can't swim!" Tian Yong shouted and jumped up first.
Others jumped up after him, but he was immediately slapped in the face. Since these scorpions are active on the bottom of the sea, is it possible that they can't swim? Immediately, many scorpions kicked their legs and swam to catch up.
"Be a person who wanders between Niu A and Niu C!" Ling Hao's body immediately rose with a red light, and the long sword "Dragon Arc" slashed, and a red sword light passed like ripples, and more than a dozen giant scorpions
He was dismembered on the spot.
"Death!" Ling Hao seemed to be going crazy. He moved as fast as a swordfish. The "Dragon Arc" danced with thousands of sword lights. The scorpions that surrounded him seemed to have entered a meat grinder.
After being hacked to death, he protected the entire team by himself.
"What should I do? Ling Hao can't last long like this!" Shui Lingxing shouted anxiously.
"Grandma, I wish I had brought some grenades." Seeing the seemingly endless swarms of scorpions in the city, Tian Yong already felt a little desperate.
Xueting loaded SPP-1 with bullets again, then looked at Tian Yong, reached out and held his strong hand: "Don't forget the old rules on the battlefield, we have to keep the last bullet for ourselves, at least you and me
We can die together." Xueting is a brave warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles, but she is also a woman with delicate emotions. She looked at Tian Yong with tenderness in her eyes.
Tian Yong smiled naively and said: "The veterans are right. Top warriors often die in some unimportant and boring tasks. It seems that you and I are not exempt from this. It's a pity that the ring has not been given yet."
Here you go, let’s talk about it later in life when we have a chance.”
At this moment, a faint sound of propellers came from a distance, and in the blink of an eye, a huge black shadow came from a distance at a high speed, and what arrived first was a bunch of bubbles brought by the tail.
fish arrows.
"It's the 'Pippi Shrimp'! Shi Si is here, how did she get in?" Shui Lingxing shouted excitedly when she saw the savior.
The fish arrows hit the scorpions and started to explode one by one. Although the power was not as powerful as grenades, it was at least as powerful as the high-explosive warheads of anti-material sniper rifles. The stone slabs on the street were shattered, and each arrow could
Killed several scorpions.
When he returned from the Aegean Sea last time, Tian Yong once said that although the fish arrows of the "Pipi Shrimp" shoot fast, their lethality is still a bit weak. If they encounter a giant beast like the "White Ruoling Turtle", they will not be able to cause effective damage at all.
, and it was also a waste of ammunition. You must know that the cost of a fish arrow is at least 10 yuan. Pulling the trigger is no different from throwing money into the water. So Yuan Bing, the "Frankenstein", began to modify it.
, he referenced Rambo's arrows in the movie "Second Blood" and equipped the fish arrows with explosive warheads. He also made major changes to the launching device and added a "speed machine" that can adjust the firing rate to one minute.
60 rounds. Although the cost of each arrow has increased three to four times, it is more powerful and saves arrows.
A wave of nearly 10 minutes of strafing completely confused the scorpion group, and finally allowed Ling Hao and the others to free their hands and swim back to the "Pippi Shrimp". Everyone took off their diving masks and staggered around, gasping for air.
Yong said with emotion: "Girl, you saved my brother's life again. I thank you on behalf of your sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law?" Shi Si looked at Xueting with wide eyes. The latter blushed and slapped Tian Yong on the head: "Don't be shameless. I haven't even seen what the ring looks like. You're taking advantage of it."
What a bargain!”
Ling Hao ignored their flirting and asked Shi Sidao, "How did you get in?"
Shi Si smiled and said: "I am also curious about this ancient city. I am not happy to wait outside. I came in not far behind you. However, although the protective shield has disappeared, the energy field has not completely dissipated.
, the electromagnetic vortex was raging, and as soon as the 'Pipi Shrimp' came in, a coil in the power system burned out, and it immediately stalled and fell to the bottom of the sea. You didn't notice me, so you just left. I spent a long time repairing it by myself, and just now
After repairing it, I saw that you were besieged by a group of scorpions, so I made a shining debut as the savior. After you get out, everyone owes me a barbecue, and you are not allowed to be a swindler."
"I'm sorry. It's all because of me that I put everyone in such danger. Why don't we leave here now? After all, safety is the most important thing." Annie said with some self-blame.
Shui Lingxing said: "No, since we have come here, how can we go back like this? 'Eubitis' is the city of our mermaid clan, and I am afraid it is also the best-preserved place on the Mu continent after its sinking.
There may be something very important to Ling Hao and me in the ruins. I don’t know where these scorpions came from, and they may have something to do with the fact that this place has turned into a dead city. Otherwise, you will wait inside the 'Pippi Shrimp'
, Ling Hao and I continue to move forward, and at least go to the 'Starry Sky Temple' in the center of the city."
Tian Yong quit immediately, stared and said, "What are you talking about? Do you think we are all greedy for life and afraid of death? Ling Hao is our brother, we will follow him wherever he goes."
Annie also said: "I'll go too. You guys came with me. It's impossible for me to hide here. Instead, let Ling Hao take the risk for me."
Shi Si looked out the window at the giant scorpions that were fighting for the corpses of the same kind on the ground to devour, and said: "I roughly know what these scorpions are. From the birth of life on earth to the present, there is only one kind of scorpion that can swim in water.
It's called the 'Brundu Sea Scorpion', but it actually lived in the Silurian Period 430 million years ago. It was one of the first animals to crawl from the ocean to land. At that time, this kind of scorpion could generally grow to 1 meter long.
The scorpions here are not that big, probably because of lack of food. However, the oxygen content of the earth's atmosphere during the Silurian Period was much lower than it is now. I guess these scorpions would not be able to adapt to the high-oxygen environment, and maybe the oxygen would be enough to deal with it.
Their best weapon is, I suggest you each bring an extra oxygen bottle. I can send you to the city center and wait for you there when you come out of the temple."
As for what the "Brondu Sea Scorpion" is, everyone present is not a scientist, nor does they carry "Xiaodu" with them like Shi Si, so they have no idea and are not very interested. Those scorpions are now afraid of "Pippi"
They did not dare to swim over to attack the "Shrimp" due to the firepower. The former sailed towards the magnificent temple in the center of the city, and they followed far behind, waiting for the opportunity to strike. However, their speed could not keep up with "Pippi".
"Xiaohao" was soon thrown away without a trace.
Walking along the widest road in the city, you will soon arrive at the center of the city. The "Starry Sky Temple" is right in front of you. In front of the temple is a huge circular square with stone bricks laying out a
The shape of a spiral line makes the entire square look like a magnificent galaxy, and in the center of this galaxy stands a huge coral tree more than 5 meters high. Ling Hao and the others have been floating in the seas all over the world all year round.
I have seen countless corals, but this is the first time I have seen one that can grow so huge. Not to mention, this coral is as white as jade. Although it has been dead for an unknown number of years, its calcareous skeleton is abnormal for some unknown reason.
It's bright and transparent, emitting a layer of misty white light, like a fluorescent tube.
The "Pippi Shrimp" landed on the square. Except for Shi Si, everyone got out of the cabin, and each person had three compressed oxygen bottles hung on their backs. Everyone stood on the square and found that
There are also stars inlaid with stone bricks of different colors on the ground. The big ones are like millstones and the small ones are like footballs, which represent the shining stars in the nebula. What makes everyone curious is that there are many such stars on them.
They are all engraved with characters, which belong to a new writing system that is different from pinyin characters and hieroglyphs. They are all composed of different ripples and lines, which is very consistent with the characteristics of this maritime nation.
Shui Lingxing knelt on the ground and caressed these "stars", and said with some emotion: "This is the 'Lami Kawen' of the Mu continent. Today, perhaps only a few people from the mermaid clan, the shark clan and the rock clan still recognize it."
Right. Engraved on each of these stars is the name of a great mermaid clan king or national hero. They are all the pride of our clan."
Tian Yong and Xueting didn't seem to be interested in the sages of the mermaid clan. They both walked to the center of the square and stared at the huge shining coral tree in admiration. Ling Hao pulled up Shui Lingxing, who was still sighing about the historical figures, and took him with him
Anne also walked over. It was impossible to say that she was not interested in this strange object.
"You'd better not touch this coral." Shui Lingxing warned: "This is one of the sacred objects of the mermaid clan, called 'Kilabekadis', which means 'Comet Holy Coral'. Legend has it that below
I'm suppressing an incredible monster. Although I don't know if it's true or not, I believe you won't risk your life to verify it."
Tian Yong trembled, then smiled and said: "No, we are just curious to see, we can't take away such a big coral tree, right?"
"Let's go into the temple and have a look." Ling Hao waved to everyone and took the lead in swimming towards the temple.
This is a very grand building with a very strange style. It is different from any other architectural style in the world, but it seems to be able to find shadows of many architectural styles in the world. The stone lanterns, archways and arch bridges with obvious Chinese connotations, Gothic
The spires and bell towers in the Romanesque style, the sculptures and gates in the ancient Greek style, the square main building and thick stone pillars in the ancient Roman style, plus the gorgeous dome in the Baroque style, cleverly and harmoniously integrate all the seemingly incompatible elements into
Together. On the top of the temple dome, a tall stone statue of a male mermaid holding a trident toward the sky is sacred, solemn, and full of power. Facing this ancient temple is like facing a 12,000-strong
The deep and heavy sense of oppression caused by the great unknown civilization of 20 years ago can't help but stir up goosebumps all over the body. No admiration is enough to express everyone's mood at this moment.
"Let's go in." Ling Hao touched the ground with his feet and swam toward the temple gate.
