Chapter 21: Cannibal Clams

The capacity of the scuba is limited, so there is no room for too much delay underwater. Seeing that Uncle Ming and I agreed to continue diving deeper, Shirley Yang made a sign to be more careful. The three of them connected each other with diving ropes and used all the energy on their bodies to

All the lighting equipment was turned on, and amidst the strings of white bubbles discharged from the diving helmet's air valve, he dived into the dark valley at the same time.

We dived along the stone wall. Shirley Yang casually pulled out the diving knife and scraped away a thick piece of gray-white sediment. Only the surface of the rough boulder was revealed, with undulations like ancient monuments. I couldn't help but reach out and touch those.

Ancient traces, just as they were about to continue diving, they suddenly felt a violent tremor coming from the stone wall.

As soon as my hand touched the stone wall that looked like an undersea ruin, I felt an unusual tremor. I was shocked. I had forgotten to read the almanac before going into the water this time. How could I catch up with an undersea earthquake? Stay

You may be buried and crushed to death in the trench. At this time, there is no need to hesitate. Two ducks plus one duck, hurry up and retreat to the sea.

I was about to tell Shirley Yang and Uncle Ming to evacuate quickly, but I saw Shirley Yang suddenly raised his square hand and made a "be careful" gesture. I was startled for a moment, and then I realized that the vibration of the stone wall was not an earthquake, but something in the trench.

The thing was moving, and the downward undercurrent suddenly increased. It seemed that the thing that had been picked off the stone wall was above our heads. In the unknown situation, we must not be able to rise rashly. Shirley Yang took me and Uncle Ming to take advantage of a boat.

He swelled up and hid behind the collapsed stone pillars on the seabed.

This trench is not as deep as imagined. Due to the complex and dark internal undercurrents, it is difficult to see the terrain below with a searchlight from above. However, once you dive down, the "Poseidon's Dazzle", a strong light device that uses fluorine bulbs at the bottom of the trench,

"Wherever the light beam points, the scenery within tens of meters is clearly visible. The three of us crouched behind the stone and scanned everywhere with two searchlights, watching the surroundings attentively.

I glanced along the searchlight beam and discovered that the trench was not naturally formed. The rows of rough stone pillars showed that this place was once a magnificent and huge building complex. The huge disaster that destroyed the world made it sink to the bottom of the sea. The top floor of the building

Covered by sea sand and silt, a layer of brittle and hard slurry formed over time. The reason why this trench was exposed was not because there were sunken ships, because there were no traces of modern ships nearby. There was only one ship next to us that was corroded to the point of being damaged.

The wreckage of an old wooden ship with only its keel left is no longer just an ancient shipwreck that sank into the sea some time ago. The gap that just sank was probably caused by the collapse of several stone pillars in our hiding place.

The coral spiral is long from east to west and narrow from north to south. The dense undersea forests are mostly concentrated on the east side of the terrain depression. The terrain gradually becomes higher to the west. When the tide is low, black ghost islands will surface. We dived

The trench is between the coral forest and the ghost island. When I used the diving bell for my first reconnaissance, I found many dark holes and ravines on the seabed in this area. Now that I think about it, maybe they are the ruins of the ancient city of Guixu.

, the scale is quite astonishing.

Thinking of this, I was slightly distracted, and suddenly I felt Shirley Yang gently cupping my left hand, and the thing on my head also dived down. I couldn't help but raise the spear gun and prepare to fight the enemy. Uncle Ming waved his hand repeatedly to indicate that he could not force me.

Yes, there must be some huge sea beast hiding in this trough. It may not have discovered us yet. Now we must extinguish all the light sources on our body to avoid exposing our target. Wait for it to swim away and then try to sneak back quietly.

Shirley Yang also agreed with Uncle Ming's approach. We quickly turned off the lights. In addition to the searchlight "Poseidon's Dazzle" and the hanging headlights worn on the body, there were also two low-light lights in the metal diving helmets.

, this kind of low-light light is a water pressure switch. It will automatically turn on when entering water less than 30 meters. It cannot be turned off manually. It can illuminate a range of about half a meter in front of you in a dark and high-pressure environment, and can also illuminate people in the vicinity.

Companions can see their own faces, which reduces their psychological pressure. Compared with strong searchlights, the dim light inside the helmet is too inconspicuous. Precisely because the light is weak, even if it is turned on, there is no need to worry about exposing traces.

As soon as the light source was extinguished, the bottom of the sea suddenly fell into darkness, and there was deathly silence everywhere. Thinking of the ancient city of Guixu that was destroyed that year, the haters in the city, including men, women, children, chickens, dogs, and cats, were probably fed to the fish.

, when egg collectors in the South China Sea do not rush to mention the "bead" universe, it is said that there are ghosts and evil spirits guarding the clam beads on the seabed. Are those evil spirits the souls of the dead in the ancient city? Thinking of this, in this dark place

In the ruins under the sea, I was really a little scared, and I tried to persuade myself not to think too much.

But the special environment of the seabed, coupled with the water pressure of more than a hundred meters deep, gave people an indescribable psychological burden, and an inexplicable sense of panic lingered. Thinking that Shirley Yang was by my side, I finally overcame this.

I felt an inappropriate emotion, but I could feel the undercurrent around me suddenly fluctuating. Knowing that something big was passing by us, I couldn't help but feel nervous again. I didn't know that this was a normal psychology that occurs in the deep sea. Almost every day

Every deep-water diver will show up, secretly scolding himself for being useless. Back then, he didn’t even blink when his bayonet saw red. How come he became so worthless when he reached the bottom of the sea? But don’t let Shirley Yang and Uncle Ming see it, otherwise I will lose face.

Got on board.

Although I was nervous, there were people who were more nervous than me. Uncle Ming in the body seemed to have been stung by jellyfish, and his whole body felt like an electric shock. A long string of blisters came out of his diving helmet. Shirley Yang and I both

We were startled by him, but we soon understood what kind of fright Uncle Ming had. I saw him trying to pull off his helmet with his hands, and secretly cursed the old Hong Kong farmer for not knowing which tendon was wrong, so I quickly reached out and pulled it off.

He held it down and moved it over his body. He waited and took a look in the dim light. It turned out that a squid appeared out of nowhere. This squid was not too big. Its body was as big as an adult's two fists put together.

Its tentacles tightly grasped the frog mirror on Uncle Ming's diving helmet. Its body was pale and covered with purple-brown spots, and its two gray eyes were squirming back and forth on Uncle Ming's face.

Uncle Ming's sight was completely blocked. He didn't know it was a squid. He thought he had been swallowed by some sea animal. All he could see was the squirming intestines. Even though he ran across the boat and into the sea, he was frightened and panicked on the spot.

, I was afraid that Uncle Ming would tear off his breathing tube, so I hurriedly held his hands firmly. Shirley Yang used a diving knife from behind to gently open the squid's arms and legs, and peeled it off Uncle Ming's diving helmet. Her men
