Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Three: Searching for the Sea [for the enchanting brother
After Professor Liao said these words, he started coughing non-stop because he was so excited.
Upon seeing this, Chen Zhi quickly comforted her, asked her to sit down first, got a glass of water for her, let her drink water slowly, and then asked softly:
"Amphibians must have a fixed living area to survive. If such a thing really exists, there should be an island not far from the sea ahead.
Have you checked it out yet? Did you find any strange islands or anything like that?"
"I've looked for it," Professor Liao said in a hoarse voice:
"When I was doing geological survey in this area, I found signs of underground sea routes.
From the direction of the sea route, there should be a protruding island in the southeast area, and there should be a cave on it, leading directly to the sea route below, where you will find the eye of the sea.
So divers were sent to look for it, and some boats were even sent there, but then all of them disappeared.
When those divers disappeared, I immediately begged the fishermen to search for them in the sea.
However, these fishermen said that they were familiar with this bay and there were no undiscovered small islands. Otherwise, they would have known about it by living here for so long.
If I continue to beg them, they think I'm crazy and say I'm talking nonsense.
But I know that the small island in front must exist, but it can’t be seen on the surface. There must be something on it, but I don’t know what it looks like!
Xiao Chen, this should be your area of expertise!
Human lives are at stake, you have to save them quickly!"
"Don't worry," Chen Zhi patted Professor Liao's shoulder comfortingly.
"I will think of a solution right away and won't delay!
If there is really something hidden in the sea ahead, it will never be hidden from my eyes."
"Really? That's great, great...",
Hearing what Chen Zhi said, Professor Liao felt much more at ease.
Then Chen Zhi persuaded her to rest. She was not in good health to begin with, and now she had not slept for more than sixty hours. She was too nervous and needed a good sleep.
After appeasing Professor Liao, Chen Zhi went down to meet up with Fat Wei, Ghost Sword and the others.
Fat Wei has done a lot during this period. He has done a good job in educating Yang Wumao and telling him not to do anything.
I chatted with a few villagers around and learned about the local situation.
It turns out that there are really many young people in this village with more enlightened ideas, but some elderly people are still quite superstitious.
Professor Liao's rhetoric caused panic among the elderly. They began to tell stories from their old days. One of them, headed by Old Wu, the grandfather of Village Chief Xiao Wu, said that the sharks in the sea were about to come ashore and they would eat them all when they came up.
Villagers in this village, please prepare for the battle!
Although some young people did not believe it, in order to attract attention, they posted these things on Douyin, so rumors spread all of a sudden.
Gui Dao and Ji Ying just walked along the coast. They told Chen Zhi that the waves here are very big and there is not much pollution in the sea water, but there is a fresh smell of blood floating on the sea surface.
This bloody smell is not from fish, but obviously from humans. It seems that what Professor Liao was worried about has become a reality...
No matter how anxious Professor Liao is, he cannot act rashly during the day.
These fishermen are very sharp-eyed. When Chen Zhi and several strangers entered the village, they immediately attracted their attention. They began to whisper in private, saying that there was really a monster in the sea here? They attracted people from outside.
Already.
In the following time, Pang Wei led people in black into every house to calm everyone's emotions.
He said that this was just an accident and told everyone not to think too much. They also gave them some financial compensation and showed them some real and credible evidence, which suppressed the emotions of these fishermen.
After a busy day like this, the sea breeze picked up, the temperature dropped, and it soon became dark.
They settled down separately that night, and the people in black basically stayed in nearby B&Bs or pitched tents.
Chen Zhi and the others lived in the home of village head Xiao Wu, because Xiao Wu did not have a wife yet, and his house was the largest, with only him and his grandfather, so it was more convenient to live there.
In the evening, two fishermen and women from the same village came to their home to prepare dinner for them. They set up a large pot to stew fish and serve it with seafood. The yard was immediately filled with the smell of fish.
After a casual dinner, Chen Zhi stayed in the room quietly, waiting for everyone to go to bed.
People at the seaside are accustomed to going to bed early. Not long after the smoke went down, they all turned out their lights, and the entire fishing village fell into darkness.
At this time, Chen Zhi walked out of his room.
Ghost Sword and Ji Ying were very alert. After hearing Chen Zhi's voice, they jumped down from the window and followed him gently.
Chen Zhi waved his hand to him, indicating that there was no need to follow him, just stay here. Guidao and Ji Ying responded and guarded the door.
Chen Zhi walked to the beach alone, where there was a large black rock cliff.
It is said that the tides there often rise and fall. During the day, the bottom of the cliff will be filled with sea water, and only a small reef can be seen on the surface.
At night, when the tide below recedes, a large sandy beach will be exposed.
No one would come to such a dangerous place late at night.
After Chen Zhi walked there alone, he turned off the flashlight and placed it on the ground.
Then he drew a totem on his arm, silently recited the summoning spell, and pressed it on the ground.
"boom!
Bang! Bang..."
Along with bursts of green smoke rising from the ground, the four demigods under Chen Zhi all appeared in the darkness.
The appearance of these demigods is different from that of humans. Standing on this dark seaside, they look even more terrifying. It is estimated that if ordinary people saw this scene, they would be scared to death.
After seeing Chen Zhi, the demigods all knelt down and waited for his orders. The leader Wu Jia said:
"Master, why are you summoned?
Please give the order, Master!"
"Did you see the sea in front of you?" Chen Zhi pointed to the dark sea in front of him:
"There should be an island in the sea, and there should be something on the island. I haven't seen that thing, but I guess it should be an aquatic species living in the sea.
But this island cannot be found on the sea. Maybe it has entered a different space.
Which of you can go into the sea and find this island for me?"
"This..." After hearing Chen Zhi's order, the four demigods immediately hesitated. The first one to speak was Wu Jia:
"Master is wise, you know that water and earth are two different attributes. We, the gods who are good at earth escape, have always been very taboo about the sea.
There is no deep earth under the sea, which scares me!
Let alone a slave, even my ancestor Tufu Xingjun would not dare to test her!"
"What about you?" Chen Zhi glanced at Hu Yi and Han Xun.
Hu Yi stood up blankly and said in a loud voice:
"If the master needs it, this slave is willing to transform into an island and support a stone road forward.
But no matter how big the slave is, it is nothing in front of the sea and cannot be mentioned.
"Owner……",
Han Xun next to him suddenly said,
"Although this slave has never seen the sea, she is willing to go to the bottom of the sea to find out for her master!"
"No, no, no..." Wu Jia hurriedly objected from the side, then looked at Chen Zhi sincerely and said,
"My master doesn't know, but the Western Region is actually a hot place, and the orcs in the Western Region are most taboo about water. This is not Han Hong's specialty!
Although he is willing to risk his life, once he goes in, he will probably come back without his life.
Please forgive me, my master, for your incompetence!"
