Once inside the cave, the door closed with a bang. From the top of the cave wall, several faint lights shot down, providing a glimmer of light inside the cave.
Mu Jingyu looked around and found that the cave at the entrance was different from what he usually saw. The wide cave is comparable to a miniature jade flute platform. It's just that the stone pillars are sharp and divided into two rows, upper and lower, surrounding them in a semicircle.
When Yu Yuanxiu saw this scene, he let out a curious sigh, then came to a sharp stone pillar near him, and looked up at the stone pillar that was several figures taller than him.
I saw that the stone pillar was thick at the bottom and thin at the top, forming a pointed mountain shape as a whole. The corresponding stone pillar above is exactly the opposite. The pointed peak faces the stone pillars above and below. Then he turned around and looked at the hundreds of stone pillars surrounded by the other semicircles, and found that they were all the same.
"It's strange, look at the shape and rehearsal shape of these stone pillars. It's like... it's like teeth." Yu Yuanxiu's mouth was full of surprise, and he stretched out his hand to touch the stone pillars.
Aunt Xue, who was currently leading the way, noticed Yu Yuanxiu's small movements without turning around, and shouted loudly: "Don't move these whale-swallowing teeth, be careful of being injured by the poisonous insects attached to them!"
Yu Yuanxiu retracted his arm in fear and exclaimed: "Aunt Xue, is this really a swallowing whale that existed in the ancient deep sea?"
After hearing this, Mu Jingyu and others stopped and looked back and forth at the situation in the cave.
At a glance, I found that the cave was really like a huge mouth. The upper and lower rows of teeth, which are comparable to mountain peaks, intersect with each other. The stone surface underfoot is obviously much higher than elsewhere, like a slightly raised hill. It must be the tongue of the swallowing whale.
According to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, in ancient times, ferocious beasts roamed the Kyushu, and some of them were huge ferocious beasts. The swallowing whale is the largest ferocious beast in the deep sea, and even in the entire world.
According to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the size of swallowing whales is far beyond what people can imagine. Not only can the body grow to a size of more than a hundred feet, but the huge mouth alone can be very wide, which is much larger than an ordinary courtyard. If it were floating on the sea, it would look like a floating island.
But thousands of years ago, it disappeared completely, and its figure can no longer be found.
Qin Yunchuan was amazed and asked in disbelief: "Aunt Xue, the swallowing whale has disappeared for thousands of years. Are you really sure that it is a swallowing whale? How is it buried deep under the sea? "
Aunt Xue didn't need to answer. Coral had already taken over and said: "You don't know something about this. Although the swallowing whale has disappeared for thousands of years, there are still some carcasses of swallowing whales, which have been preserved for various reasons. And this swallowing whale The whale? It was precisely because it encountered a volcanic eruption under the sea, and because it had no time to escape, it was trapped here forever and turned into a fossil."
After listening to Coral's explanation, everyone suddenly realized. Look at the inside of the whale's mouth, which looks like rocks. It was caused by the rapid watering of volcanic ash.
While marveling, several people followed Aunt Xue and Coral and walked towards the swallowing whale's throat.
Along the way, everyone was surprised by the huge body of the swallowing whale. Large chunks of boulders can also be seen among them. It seems that they are the bodies of fish and beasts that the Swallowing Whale swallowed into its belly. Before they could be consumed, the Swallowing Whale and the Swallowing Whale were petrified by the sudden appearance of volcanic ash.
After silently following for several hundred feet, I finally saw another cave entrance. Judging from the physical condition of the swallowing whale, it should be where the swallowing whale's excretion port is.
As soon as I walked out of the cave, my eyes suddenly became brighter.
In front of you is a circular valley, surrounded by sea cliffs. In the center of the valley, there is a circular hill, but the outside of the hill is high and the inside is low, and it vaguely falls on the top of a palace.
Hundreds of huts made of seaweed and shrubs are scattered nearby. Countless Jiaoren tribesmen with fish-like bodies were swimming back and forth. Either inspecting the tribal territory, or leaning over the seabed fields like crops, busy harvesting, just like a small village.
What surprised everyone was that all the beauties were dressed as women. Looking at the entire Jiaoren tribe, there is not a single male! I don’t know if the Jiaoren tribe is like this, or if there is another reason.
At the top of the high valley, it is also shrouded by an arched mountain wall. Stars are constantly shining, providing light to the valley.
After everyone looked at it carefully, they were surprised to find that the constantly shining stars turned out to be the light emitted by the pearls in the bodies of countless sea clams.
Aunt Xue led everyone and did not immediately go to the palace in the central hill. Instead, they walked towards a small pavilion not far away.
"Young heroes, I can only take you here. A tribe will serve you tea and snacks later. After I report back to grandma, someone will take you in."
Mu Jingyu said: "Then Auntie Lao will inform us later."
Mu Jingyu was very satisfied to be able to successfully enter the Jiaoren tribe. I don’t dare to make too many demands for the time being, so why not just listen to Aunt Xue’s words, stay here quietly, and look for opportunities to ask for the Abyss Colorful Beads after meeting my grandma later.
After Aunt Xue nodded, she didn't know what method she used to summon the eight handsome guards. Two of them each carried silver trays with two pots of tea on them and several plates of fresh fruits they had never seen before, and placed them on the stone table in the pavilion.
Immediately afterwards, two strong beauties took over Mu Jingyu and carried Chen An on his back. They followed Aunt Xue and swam toward the palace in the center.
Of the six people who stayed, two went back and took some fruits and snacks for a few people to eat. The other four people each held weapons and were arranged in four directions, watching Mu Jingyu and others with wary eyes, obviously staying to monitor everyone.
Coral said apologetically: "Guys, just listen to Aunt Xue and stay here. Don't run around! After I settle Chen Lang down, I will beg grandma to thank you in person for your rescue."
Mu Jingyu smiled slightly and said: "Sister Huan, just go ahead. It's important to help Brother Chen heal his injuries. Don't worry about us. There is tea and snacks here, and we just take the opportunity to rest."
After Coral walked away, Shen Mengdie sat on the chair and leaned forward slightly. Knowing that she had something to say, several people also leaned forward and gathered the six heads together.
"Xiaodie, if you have anything to say, just say it. Let's keep your voice down so they won't find out." Mu Jingyu glanced secretly and said to the Jiaoren guard who was standing still outside the pavilion.
"Yes." Shen Mengdie nodded and continued: "Don't you think something is a little strange about what happened today?"
"What's weird? What's weird?" Yu Yuanxiu scratched his head in confusion and said, "Could it be that... the attack on Miss Hualou and Chen An was all a scene arranged in advance? The purpose is to attract us to help, and then when we get to Shark In the human tribe? But what good does this do to them? Or have they discovered our true identity? "
"None of these." Shen Mengdie shook her head, obviously not agreeing with Yu Yuanxiu's judgment.
Qin Yunchuan was a little confused: "Brother Yu has mentioned all the possibilities. What else is there besides these?"
The others all looked at Shen Mengdie in confusion, not knowing what she wanted to say. Even Su Yingying, who was always quick-thinking, couldn't understand the meaning of Shen Mengdie's words.
"You are all thinking wrong! The strange thing I mentioned is not related to us." After Shen Mengdie said this, everyone was even more puzzled.
Zhou Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Hey, Xiaodie, since what you are worried about has nothing to do with us, then what are you worried about?"
Mu Jingyu didn't see it that way, and objected: "Sister Zhou, you can't say that! Now, the situation in Kyushu is extremely chaotic, and we are also shouldering the important task of finding elixirs to help Bi Yun heal and detoxify. Besides... besides, my... In his hand, there are ancient artifacts such as the Jiuyaoxuan Light Chain, and I don’t know how many people are slandering me. We should listen to Xiaodie talk about her doubts, and we must not take it lightly."
Qin Yunchuan and Su Yingying nodded at the same time, recognizing Mu Jingyu's words.
Yu Yuanxiu urged: "Miss Xiaodie, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. You have been whetting our appetites, but we will be anxious to death."
Shen Mengdie stopped playing riddles and spoke out the doubts in her heart: "I don't know if you noticed just now. When Aunt Xue heard that Chen An was poisoned by fish egg cordyceps, she looked a little surprised. Moreover, Sister Coral also said that if you want to undo the poison of fish egg cordyceps, you need to use the Abyss Colorful Beads and cooperate with the skills of the shark clan to undo it. If you put it this way..."
After Shen Mengdie paused, he came to a conclusion: "The fish egg cordyceps must be an extremely rare and domineering poisonous insect in the North Sea. There must not even be many of the sharks alive. Why are there so many low-level people in Guiyun Villa?" Disciple, can you possess this thing? Or is their original purpose just to plant this poison in Chen An so that Coral can lead him back to the clan?"
After hearing Shen Mengdie's doubts, everyone fell silent. She knew that Shen Mengdie's analysis was reasonable in every aspect, but what was puzzling was why the people at Guiyun Villa had to go to great lengths to plant a poison in Chen An.
After thinking for a long time, I couldn't think of a reason. Qin Yunchuan said: "Since we can't think of it, let's not think about it. In my opinion, we should stay vigilant and adapt accordingly if something unexpected happens."
Unable to analyze the reason, everyone could only follow Qin Yunchuan's words, wait and see, and stay vigilant at all times.
On the other side, Coral followed Aunt Xue and arrived at the clan hall. There was a Jiao guard who had already informed the grandmother of the clan about the coral's return. After getting her approval, the two beauties carried Chen An to the guest room where grandma lived alone.
Pushing open the door, the two of them put Chen Anxian on the ground and quietly exited. Aunt Xue went into the inner room to ask her grandma to come out. Coral was the only one who stayed by Chen An's side, feeling uneasy.
After a while, Aunt Xue walked out first, followed closely by an old woman. I saw that the old man's face was wrinkled, his body seemed to be rickety and frail, and he was holding a fish-head crutch in his hand.
What is different from Aunt Xue and other beauties is that except for the upper body, which is the same as that of ordinary humans, the lower body is not a fish tail, but has two legs like a coral. He was just trembling as he walked, looking a little frail.
When he saw Coral standing up, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, making it even harder to see his mouth, eyes, mouth and nose on his already wrinkled face.
"Coral, you are finally back. I can't find any trace of you these days, but it makes grandma very anxious!"
The old woman said, walking over with a cane, wanting to take a closer look at the coral. However, Huanhuo fell to his knees first and clicked his head three times.
"Coral is unfilial and makes grandma worry about me..."
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back." Grandma smiled happily and sat on the chair with Aunt Xue's help.
"I just heard Xue Ling say that you were seriously injured by a group of mysterious people in a sneak attack and disappeared." Grandma said, turning her gaze to Chen An who was lying on the ground. After taking a look, she continued Asked: "I think the young man in front of me is the disciple of Lingxiao Pavilion who saved you, Chen An and Chen Shaoxia."
"Hmm..." Coral lowered his head, not daring to look at her grandma: "Coral, please, grandma, for the sake of young hero Chen... rescuing me, can you help him get rid of the poison of fish egg cordyceps!"
"No hurry, no rush." Grandma waved her hands and cast a meaningful look in her eyes: "Coral, tell grandma the truth, you really begged grandma to save Chen An because you wanted to repay Chen An for saving her life. ?"
