A burst of intensive gunfire rang out, and a stream of blood mist rose from the shark's body. It rushed forward for a while, and finally turned over when it was less than one meter away from the last student.
Everyone returned to the "Stone Crab". A group of people were sitting or lying on the ground, panting. This time they were really frightened.
Zuo Pengfei dragged the shark back with a rope, cut open its belly, and took out the body of the dead student in pieces. A group of students either covered their faces and sobbed or howled, and no one could do anything to sort out the remains of their companion.
Jiang Mingyu sighed: "I can't tell, I'd better sew him up. No one is allowed to go out anymore. This shark is a 'spiny shark' from the family Porphyridae. In the Cretaceous, it could grow up to 7 meters, which is the same as the great white shark." The sharks were quite large in size and were one of the largest sharks on the earth at that time. Although they did not grow that big here, they still posed a great threat to us. Next, we will wait patiently for Ling Hao and Professor to come back, and then Get out of this damn place quickly."
At this moment, Ling Hao and the others had risen to about 250 meters. There were obviously many more creatures in this water layer. From time to time, swordfish chased groups of unknown fish and flashed past the "Pippi Shrimp".
Professor Levins held up the camera and filmed while saying: "Although all the large predatory fish here are Cretaceous species, many small fish are modern species, which shows that the ecosystem here is not completely isolated from the outside world. Although this ecosystem is completely different from modern times, it is also different from the one in the Cretaceous. It feels like a chaotic world of time and space where 'Guan Gong battles Qin Qiong'."
Yang Xueting chuckled and said, "I didn't expect that you, the old man, are very proficient in Chinese culture, and you know such uncommon metaphors."
The professor seemed to have been numbed by Xueting's rebuke. Instead of talking to her, he suddenly pointed at the rock wall not far away and shouted: "Look there, there are several large and small caves. We were there before. I came in from there, but I didn’t expect that there is such a big hole over there. The diameter is probably enough for our submarine to enter and exit. It must lead to some cave that we haven’t explored yet.”
Ling Hao adjusted the searchlight and took a closer look at the largest hole. As expected, it was barely enough for the "Pippi Shrimp" to enter and exit. If he had known this, entering and exiting from here would definitely be better than entering from the bottom of the cave. It would also save a lot of money. Take some time to decompress. That "floating thunder" probably drifted in from here by accident.
The submarine is still rising, and there are more and more luminous substances on the stone wall, reflecting the faint blue in the water, and the visibility is getting higher and higher.
Adeline was holding a ball of sticky substance that glowed blue with her hands, which was part of the sample taken from the stone wall just now. She brought the glue-like substance to her nose and smelled it, then said: "With this kind of luminous substance, it's not pitch black here. No wonder the creatures here don't have white bodies and vision like other cave creatures." Degradation. This is not algae, it is definitely a mineral. It smells a bit pungent, similar to sulfate minerals, but I have never seen this kind of mineral. From the taste, I guess this thing is still A combustible material that should not be kept near open flames.”
Ling Hao said solemnly: "In this case, you'd better soak this dangerous thing back in the water. Who knows what kind of gas it will react with. We need to start researching it. After we leave, we can do whatever we want. You can do whatever you want." Ling Hao is also a highly educated person, but he has never felt that science is so dangerous as he does now.
The water depth is less than a hundred meters. This is a paradise for creatures. Ling Hao has never seen such a dense concentration of creatures in any natural waters. In addition to the common swordfish, spear-toothed fish, bow sharks, and ammonites, There are also many unknown ancient fish and some jellyfish-like animals. Not far away, there is a huge jellyfish that is as big as an air conditioner outdoor unit and is swimming slowly. On its tentacles are strings of fish it has caught, including swordfish that are more than one meter long. It looks real. Somewhat scary.
The robotic arm waved the net and kept fishing. Rather than collecting biological samples, it was more like a child catching small animals in a pond in the park.
The professor applied to Ling Hao several times to leave the cabin. The latter looked at the swordfish and bow sharks swimming around and decisively rejected his request. Until the "Pipi Shrimp" shook violently, Yang Xueting said helplessly: "It's broken. The propeller is caught in something."
Ling Hao smiled bitterly: "It seems we can't get out of the cabin. Tian Yong, let's go out and take a look." After saying that, he checked the equipment on his body, put the gas bottle on his back, and tightened the "dragon" strapped to his leg. "Arc" sword, then put on the mask, picked up the APS and took Tian Yong out of the cabin.
The scene outside the cabin made people a little speechless. A huge jellyfish swam from behind the "Pippi Shrimp", and its long tentacles were entangled in the propeller. It scurried there, as if it was in the air. A general struggle. It stands to reason that the jellyfish's weak tentacles will be torn off quickly even if it is caught in it. But what is helpless is that there are a bunch of large and small fish on its tentacles. At this moment, the fish are minced into pieces, and one The "rod ammonite" with a body length of nearly one meter was also entangled in it, and its pointed shell was stuck between the propeller blades and the protective frame, jamming it tightly.
Tian Yong pulled out the diving dagger and wanted to go up and clean it, but Ling Hao stopped him: "The diving dagger is too short. If you are stung by the jellyfish's tentacles, the feeling will be enough to make you ecstasy for several months, and Look under the propeller."
Only then did Tian Yong react. He stretched his neck and looked under the submarine, and suddenly took a breath of cold air.
The fish meat fragments and jellyfish tentacles minced by the propeller were slowly falling like snow. It was like a feeding feast, with large groups of spearfish eating in circles like a whirlpool below. , and there are dozens of large and small swordfish and bow sharks surrounding it. From time to time, they will pick up and eat the isolated spearfish, and some will even dive into the fish school and actively attack.
This time, the two finally saw the ferocity of the swordfish. A swordfish about 1 meter long rushed into the fish school, and the moment it swam out magnificently with a spear-toothed fish in its mouth, it was killed by a two-meter-long swordfish. The swordfish bites it in one bite, and after two or three bites, only one tail is left hanging out of its mouth. The sight of those sharp awl-like teeth is terrifying.
And in the darkness further away, individual huge figures over three or four meters tall could be faintly seen, peeping out and waiting for an opportunity to move. It was unclear what kind of animal they were.
"Damn, it's quite dangerous to go there, what should I do?" Tian Yong also felt a little scared.
"My sword chief, I'll go over and clean the propeller, and you'll protect me next to me." Ling Hao drew out the "Dragon Arc" sword.
The two quietly approached the propeller. Ling Hao waved his "Dragon Arc" sword and cut off the tentacles entangled by the jellyfish. The latter scurried away as if it was amnesty, and was immediately chased by many spear-toothed fish. The fish on the other tentacles of the jellyfish followed closely, and the swordfish followed without hesitation. In an instant, Ling Hao and the two seemed to be in the center of a chaotic whirlpool.
At this point, the longer the delay, the more dangerous it became. Ling Hao could not care about anything else. He used the "Dragon Arc" sword to start cutting the jellyfish tentacles wrapped around the propeller shaft. With a few cuts, most of the tentacles were cut off.
At this time, Tian Yong had already fired. The swordfish swam too fast. After diving into the school of fish, he faced Ling Hao and Tian Yong. Although the opponent's target was not them, the sharp teeth like awls protruded from his mouth. , even if it scratches the two of them, they can't bear it. Moreover, it swims extremely fast and is large. Even if it has no teeth, it will definitely be a tragic scene like a large car accident if it hits someone. The only way is to knock them down as they swim over.
Tian Yong is a veteran with perfect shots, and his sense of using a gun has reached the level of being able to command with an arm. It can be said that he can shoot one shot at a time without missing a single shot. In a matter of seconds, four or five swordfish died. However, this did not mean that the situation had improved. On the contrary, it made the scene more chaotic and dangerous.
This water area can be said to have brought the jungle law of the jungle to its extreme. Any injured or dead creature will immediately be attacked by other creatures or even similar creatures. Countless spear-toothed fish went crazy when they smelled the smell of blood. They immediately surrounded the shot sword-fish and bit it hard, just like the piranhas in the Amazon basin. They tore the sword-fish into pieces and ate it in an instant. Light.
Speartooth fish is a small fish that is only about 20 centimeters long. Although it is small, it is like a pack of wolves in the sea. It is extremely ferocious and crazy when hunting in groups. Its mouthful of fangs are turned out, just like thorns. Generally, this is how it gets its name.
The roles of hunter and prey were instantly reversed. The ferocity of nature left Tian Yong dumbfounded and scared to death. In just a moment, several spear-toothed fish collided with him in a frenzy. Their fangs immediately cut through his diving suit, and a few bloody cuts caused a mist of blood to rise all over Tian Yong's body. His heart twitched fiercely, and the scene of several sword-shooting fish being torn to pieces immediately appeared in his mind. Could it be that he would end up like this next moment?
At this time, Ling Hao had cut off all the jellyfish tentacles wrapped around the propeller, then grabbed the "rod ammonite" stuck on the propeller and pulled it out with a strong force. He turned around and grabbed Tian Yong's diving suit belt and rushed back. "Why are you standing there? Run!"
The frightened Tian Yong was pulled by Ling Hao's belt and ran toward the cabin door. His eyes were fixed on the school of spear-toothed fish that was rolling towards him like a whirlwind. He mechanically pulled the trigger and fired all the bullets.
With a "clang", the hatch was closed, and then the water compartment was drained. Ling Hao no longer bothered to take off his mask, and hurriedly picked off the spear-toothed fish that were still biting him from Tian Yong's body. Fortunately, they returned at the critical moment. If they had entered the cabin five seconds later, both of them would have been chewed into skeletons.
Seeing the embarrassment of the two of them, Xueting and the professor were both shocked. They quickly took the medical box to bandage Tian Yong. Seeing the wounds on his body and the spear-tooth fish still hanging on his body, the professor and Ed Lin couldn't help but turned pale with fear.
At this moment, Tian Yong, this kid, finally came back to his senses. He chuckled and said, "A little skin injury won't be a problem. This time, I'm really lucky. I'm just one step away from dying like Ling Chi."
Yang Xueting almost burst into tears. She slapped him on the head and said, "Don't fucking talk nonsense! If you die, who will I bully in the future?" This sentence immediately made everyone stunned. The amount of information seems to be a bit large, which is particularly fascinating.
Just when a few people were lamenting that they would be lucky if they survived the catastrophe, the "Pippi Shrimp" suddenly shook and almost turned over. Everyone was swaying around. Yang Xueting grabbed the driver's seat and managed to sit still. She looked at the screen and said: "There are two sharks outside, big sharks!"
Professor Levins shouted excitedly: "It's spiny sharks. They really move in groups, completely different from the solitary great white sharks! This proves that my previous guess was absolutely correct. I was right. The one who laughed at me These guys are all idiots."
Ling Hao rolled his eyes at him: "I really hope you are wrong. Isn't it better to be attacked by a shark than to be attacked by a group of sharks?"
Yang Xueting was trying to stabilize the "Pippi Shrimp" and prepare to fight back. "Grandma, I'll hammer you to death!" The mechanical arm suddenly popped out, and the thorn ball hit the gills of one "Spiny Armor Shark", and it was completely fucked immediately, but the other "Spiny Armor Shark" was He bit the mechanical arm and tore it hard.
The brute force of this shark is really terrifying. The "Pippi Shrimp" was tossed around by it, as light as a cardboard box. There was just a "click" sound, and the mechanical arm was torn off along with the hydraulic rod. Just when it proudly dropped the mechanical arm and planned to attack the "Pippi Shrimp" again, the other mechanical arm popped out and stabbed the ball. It was hammered on the mouth, and the teeth were mixed with blood flying everywhere, and it was looking for teeth all over the ground.
The shark was in pain and ran away. Yang Xueting was about to turn around to show off when she saw Ling Hao's face turned green.
"The machine...the mechanical arm fell...from this position." Ling Hao stuttered a bit when he spoke.
"What's wrong with this position?" Yang Xueting asked in confusion, and then everyone's faces turned green. Under that position was the damn mine just now.
Ling Hao picked up the communicator and shouted loudly: "Shi Si, quickly drive the 'Stone Crab' and escape! Hurry!"
