Wang Qiang pointed in the direction where the black shadow disappeared. He was a little incoherent and could only point with his fingers.
"Did you see it? Did you see it? It just flew over my head, something with wings, just click it! It's gone!"
Everyone around him shook his head.
Said he didn't see it.
"Master Wang, we have reached a safe zone now, there is no need to scare ourselves."
"Didn't Advisor Lin just say that? This road is their main channel for transporting stones, and there will be no agencies. Don't be timid, just keep your heart in mind!"
"I feel like Master Wang still hasn't come out of it. To be honest, I still feel like I'm in a dream."
Everyone was talking about it, but Wang Qiang became anxious.
"Who is it? Who is frightening himself? Who is timid, who has not come out? Good guy, I just said something, you guys are ganging up to bully me, right?"
Wang Qiang flicked the cigarette butt and stood at the stern of the boat with his feet spread apart, pedaling hard left and right.
This trick was a strange trick he used when he was in school and took his female classmates rowing in Beihai Park.
As soon as it swayed left and right, the boat started to rock.
As long as you control your strength well, the boat will not capsize.
But the girls on the boat were all rude, crying for their father and mother, screaming and shouting Wang Qiang's name, which greatly satisfied Wang Qiang's vanity.
Today I repeated the old trick and the effect is still outstanding.
"Hey, Master Wang, this is no joke."
"I was wrong, I was wrong, Master Wang, stop shaking!"
"I don't dare, I don't dare anymore! Brother Wang!"
Everyone knew in their hearts that he was joking, so they just cooperated with him to play and have fun in this dark river.
Wang Qiang was as happy as anything. He held his hands confidently in front of his chest, controlled the strength under his feet, and laughed loudly:
"You know how powerful I am, right? Let you run against me, and I'll see who dares to run against me in the future!"
Lin Yi smiled and reached out to pat Wang Qiang's calf.
"Okay, okay, there are a few old men ahead."
Wang Qiang had enough trouble and slowly put away his feet.
The flat boat had just regained its composure when it began to rock from side to side again.
Lin Yi raised his foot and kicked Wang Qiang lightly.
"Are you finished?"
Wang Qiang stared with a look of grievance.
"I didn't do this. Didn't you see me sitting here?"
With the faint light, it can be seen that Wang Qiang is indeed sitting opposite Lin Yi, leaning against the side of the boat.
There were also shouts from people ahead.
"Master Wang, we have already asked for mercy, why are you still here?"
Wang Qiang immediately helped the boatman to stand up.
"It's really not Ouch this time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he fell hard on the board of the boat.
There was a "dong" sound, which showed that the fall was not light.
The pain was so painful that he grinned and held his buttocks for a long time, unable to get up.
Not Wang Qiang?
Lin Yi immediately turned on his flashlight and scanned the surroundings. Everyone was holding on to the side of the boat, but the wooden boat was shaking violently.
Abdul and Li Li on the bow suddenly shouted.
"There's something under the water!"
This sound frightened the people on the boat and quickly moved to the stern. The wooden boat, which was light in front and heavy in back, suddenly lost its balance and the bow tilted up.
Several backpacks on the bow were suddenly thrown into the water.
Thanks to Lin Yi's quick eyes and hands, he quickly grabbed Wang Qiang's collar and prevented him from being thrown off.
He took out a flashlight with his other hand and turned it on, followed by a beam of light.
A black shadow suddenly appeared from the bottom of the boat and rushed towards the backpacks.
After stirring up a pool of muddy water, the backpacks that fell into the water disappeared together with them. The sound of tin cans being bitten open and chewed by sharp objects could only be heard vaguely underwater.
Those who listened had goosebumps all over their bodies.
"Don't panic, everyone. Try to stay in the center of the boat. If you press on one end, it will capsize."
With the evacuation of a few people, the large army finally stabilized its position.
Lan Yun's team members and Lin Yi brothers guarded the side of the boat, always paying attention to the underwater movements.
"Consultant Lin, what on earth was that thing just now?"
Lin Yi shook his head with a stern expression.
"I didn't see it clearly, but I'm sure that this thing is definitely not any animal that we usually see. It's most likely a prehistoric creature."
"Prehistoric creature?"
Everyone suddenly felt incredible.
"This place is underground, and the surrounding Kunlun Mountains are folds formed by crustal movements. In the Early Permian, the Kunlun Mountains acted as a continental margin arc formed during ocean subduction, and the crust and mantle materials would rise. There are still a lot of oceanic material remnants below.”
The two young scholars with geology background looked at Lin Yi intently, the expressions on their faces said everything.
These are very unpopular and professional geological contents, but Consultant Lin picked them up easily and explained them clearly and logically.
"Comrade Xiaolin's analysis is correct. Deep underground, there are no natural enemies and are almost unaffected by environmental changes. This will cause the creatures here to be in a state of evolutionary stagnation. It is very likely that prehistoric creatures will appear."
Academician Zhou's remarks were a complete endorsement of Lin Yi's speech.
"It has to be our Consultant Lin, who knows more."
"That thing just now must be at least two or three meters long, right?"
"More than that? That's underwater. Do you know how deep the water is? You've never caught a fish before, right?"
"Sure enough, fishing guys are awesome. Apart from being unable to catch fish, everything else is at the expert level."
Netizens in the live broadcast room also started discussing together.
"No, Lao Lin, why do I always feel like there is something on top of our heads?"
Wang Qiang raised his hand to pull and looked above his head.
"My feeling is not wrong. Something definitely flew over my head just now."
As he spoke, Wang Qiang took out the flashlight from his waist and shined it towards the top of his head.
The moment a beam of light shot out, everyone on the ship was stunned.
"Ah! Someone!"
With a scream, everyone's nerves immediately became tense.
Just at the top of this underground river, there are terrifying and exaggerated human faces hanging.
There are different expressions and different sizes.
The only thing that is the same is that each "face" has a pair of deep human eyes.
These things hang densely in the sky, like hanging human heads.
The origin of the underwater monster has not yet been figured out, and there are so many "human faces" hanging above its head, adding a bit of horror to the already tense air.
"Don't panic, everyone! Lao Wang turned off the flashlight. This is a 'grim-faced bat'. They are sensitive to light and sound and generally do not attack people actively. Let's just pretend it doesn't exist."
Wang Qiang quickly turned off the flashlight.
"No wonder it always felt like it was flying around on top of my head just now. I guess it was attracted by the flashlight we had just now. Lao Lin, are you sure this thing doesn't hurt anyone?"
"If it is not stimulated by the outside world, under normal circumstances, it will not hurt people."
Wang Qiang swallowed secretly.
"What about the second scenario?"
"It just depends on whether they are hungry or not. If they are hungry and impatient, they won't be able to care so much!"
Lin Yi said as he took the dagger from his waist and clasped it in his hand.
