"Didn't you promise me not to show up randomly to scare my friends?" Ling Hao said angrily.
"If I don't show up, how can you explain to this rich man that you can find the 'White Ruoling Turtle'? You have to know it sooner or later anyway. It doesn't matter much if you see me now. If he is stunned to death by this girl's beauty, he will also It’s a worthy death.” Shui Lingxing smiled charmingly.
At this moment, Professor Levins was crawling towards Shui Lingxing, extending his trembling hand obscenely, wanting to touch the other person's fish tail.
"Oh, is this old gangster planning to take advantage of him secretly?" Shui Lingqi waved his hand gently, causing ripples of water to rise in the air, and directly rushed Professor Levins several meters away, almost falling off the boat.
Ling Hao stepped forward to help the professor up and smiled apologetically: "This is a mermaid soul I met by chance. She stayed with me temporarily before returning to the tribe. In fact, she has been dead for more than a hundred years and is just a soul. That's all, for a well-informed person like you, there's no need to make a fuss, right?" Ling Hao told the professor exactly what Shui Lingxing was willing to do to help find "Ramus".
Levins asked with some regret: "Is it true that I can only look at it, take videos and photos, but not capture it?"
Shui Lingxing glanced at him indifferently and said: "From a life perspective, the highest existence on this planet is not you humans. Do you think that putting on clothes and possessing your so-called civilization makes you superior? Tell the truth. You, there are higher life forms on earth, but they just don’t bother to appear in front of you humans. Do you still want to capture? Have you ever seen ants capture lions? If you can’t control your greed, I promise You will die in this sea."
This kind of downward gaze and soul-level oppression from a higher life form immediately made Professor Levins honest, and his head was nodding like a chicken eating rice.
"Okay, what you have to do next is to find an active volcano underwater. Considering your endurance, it should not be deeper than 400 meters." Shui Lingxing confessed, then disappeared out of thin air and returned to Ling Hao. went.
At this time, everyone in the cabin heard the sound and came over. Some saw the Shui Lingxing, some did not, so Ling Hao fell into various explanations with a dry mouth.
That night, they found several places that met the requirements of Water Spirit Star in the hydrogeological database. The nearest one was 70 nautical miles away. The "Odora" moved at full speed and arrived at the designated sea area 4 hours later. "Stone Crab" The "Stone Crab" and the "Pipi Shrimp" were quickly filled with helium and oxygen. Ling Hao, Tian Yong, Xueting, Shi Si, Jiang Mingyu, Professor and Adeline entered the "Stone Crab" and began to dive.
The destination was the "Little Elvit Volcano" 340 meters underwater. In less than an hour, the "Stone Crab" dived to the seabed 400 meters away from the side of the volcano.
This is an active volcano, with dark red magma still slowly pouring out of the crater. When it encounters seawater, the surface quickly condenses into black volcanic rocks, which roll down from the crater. Since the inside of the volcanic rocks has not completely condensed, many of them will explode into brilliant sparks during the rolling process.
Shi Si was sitting cross-legged on a chair with a lollipop in his mouth and a computer on his lap. He said mischievously: "The water temperature outside is 42°, and it increases by 1° every two meters forward. Because of the ocean currents, the temperature in the seawater There are not too many sulfides, so you can go into the water, but don’t get too close. The diving suits you are wearing can ensure that you can get closer to the volcano for up to 20 meters, and the time cannot be too long. I wish everyone a happy hot spring bath."
Ling Hao didn't say anything, but a hazy shadow seemed to escape from his body, drifting through the hard and thick shell of the "Stone Crab" and directly into the sea.
"Damn it! Brother, this is the Ghost Story in you. You are not that handsome, are you? Do you have such a good fortune? I must tell Sister Zhuxin, unless you take me to Disneyland. "Shi Si stood directly on the chair, shouting.
Ling Hao knocked her down with a bang: "You little girl, have you learned how to do it? That's not a Chinese Ghost Story, it's the soul of a mermaid, just a talking fish, and it's a dead fish from 100 years ago. Do you think your sister Zhuxin is as superficial as you?"
"Tch! Then she is also a female. Look at her figure. I don't believe that when you look at her, you only think of her as a dead fish. What is she doing in your body every day? Be honest!" Shi Si refused to give up.
"Quietly, we're doing business, don't make trouble." Ling Hao pushed Shi Si down on the seat and looked out the porthole.
Shui Lingxing's figure has solidified at this moment, like a big fish, swimming happily in the sea, as fast as a dolphin chasing its prey. This scene is dreamlike and dazzling. Professor Levins and Adeline were holding a "sports waterproof camcorder" commonly used by Internet celebrity bloggers, and the other was holding a SLR, and they were filming like paparazzi.
Shui Lingxing swam for a while, as if she had finished expressing her little excitement, then she found a boulder on the sea floor, sat down on it with her wide fish tail, opened her lips, and actually sang a song.
Ling Hao was shocked. Although she had a "smoking and drinking voice" when she spoke, when she sang, she was completely different. Her singing voice was like the sound of nature, as if it could pull people's consciousness out of the body. .
Fortunately, Ling Hao had become accustomed to contact with Shui Lingxing these days. He suddenly returned to his spiritual consciousness. Looking at the people around him, they all seemed to be in a state of intoxication and were still in a state of dissociation.
"Wake up, everyone, don't focus on her singing!" Ling Hao woke everyone up one by one. Everyone was covered in cold sweat and frightened. Fortunately, Shui Lingxing did not intend to use his singing to confuse these people, otherwise even Ling Hao would not be able to regain consciousness.
"Is this the mermaid's song? Fortunately, it was recorded just now. I guess it relies on infrasound waves of a certain frequency to have an effect on the biological brain. Not only can it hypnotize, but it may also be able to control thoughts." Professor Levins seemed very excited. look like.
Adeline also praised: "It seems that the legend of the mermaid is not a myth. It is all true. Then maybe many of the contents in those ancient myths are facts."
She kept singing like this, and after more than an hour, the sea currents surged, as if a huge thing had just swam quickly above her head.
"It's coming!" Everyone became nervous, and Professor Levins and Adeline began to put on diving equipment in a hurry.
"What are you doing? Are you going to leave the cabin? Do you know how dangerous this strange beast is? If it gets angry for a moment, you will die without any body parts!" Ling Hao was so angry that these people didn't know What are you thinking in your mind? Isn’t it good to be alive?
"Don't stop me. Although I use animals to make money, I have never wanted to harm them. I am a scientist. Now the opportunity to pursue the truth is right in front of me. I will not shrink back because of fear of danger. You are in 'Stone Waiting on board the Crab, the two of us need to get closer to see the true appearance of this 'Ramus'."
Ling Hao wanted to hit someone, but this old guy who didn't know how to die now looked as if he was dead. However, he remembered that the last time he was in the Blue Cave, the old man was so scared that he would only hide in the corner and tremble. The two people had no intention of staying here to grind their teeth with Ling Hao. They put on their equipment and left the cabin without any hassle.
Ling Hao had no choice but to grit his teeth and shout: "Tian Yong, put on your equipment and follow me out."
"They are looking for death themselves, why should we care about them?" Tian Yong was also a little unhappy.
"Nonsense! Can you just watch them die?"
When Ling Hao and Tian Yong chased Professor Levins and the others, a huge figure had already appeared on the crater. Yes, it was indeed a giant turtle, but it was not as big as imagined. It was probably about the size of a tank. The turtle shell does not have the blocky textures of ordinary turtles. It is as black as if it were cast from asphalt. However, there are countless water ripples that are constantly moving. The four claws are different from the flippers of turtles, more like They are the four claws of a lizard. In addition to looking very sharp, there are also webs between the claws for paddling. Its neck is very long, at least not in proportion to the average turtle. It is like a giraffe's neck growing on the turtle's body, but its head is larger than that of a giraffe. A pair of scarlet eyes like searchlights are full of human confusion. Those two rows of teeth cannot be called teeth at all, but more like a gate that opens and closes up and down, just two sharp bone plates. There is a bright red bump on the top of its head, which seems to be a horn, but it is very small. It is basically the same as an upside-down ice cream cone. The most abrupt thing is its tail, which is a bit outrageous in its length. The foot is twice as long as its torso, and it is basically the tail of a python. It rolls flexibly and softly, and occasionally hits the rocks on the seabed inadvertently, and can split the rocks in half in an instant.
"Oh my god, what did you say this was before? 'White Ruoling Turtle'? Why do I think this is the legendary dragon turtle 'Xuanwu'?" Tian Yong's voice was trembling.
"How do I know? I only know that if it gets angry, we have to explain it here immediately." Ling Hao glared at Professor Levins angrily. However, the latter acted as if he hadn't heard anything. He was holding a camera like a professional paparazzi and kept mumbling words. He didn't know whether he was dubbing the video or talking to himself.
Gradually, the big turtle got closer to Shui Lingxing. At this time, Shui Lingxing also stopped singing and grunted at the turtle without knowing what she was talking about. The sound was almost like the cry of a whale. The doubts in the eyes of the big turtle disappeared, and instead showed a pitiful and aggrieved look, and shouted "Ouch" at Shui Lingxing. This call was not over yet, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes loud and sometimes loud. It was low, sometimes intense, sometimes tactful, like a resentful woman crying to the aunt next door about her husband's change of heart. She kept talking for nearly an hour before she stopped. Shui Lingxing swam forward, hugged the giant turtle's head, said a few words to it, and then turned back to the "Stone Crab". The giant turtle was like a puppy left outside the door, lying on the sea bed, its tail swaying, looking at the "Stone Crab" eagerly.
"Let's go back." Ling Hao grabbed Professor Levins and took the lead in swimming towards the "Stone Crab".
"Tell me, what's going on?" Ling Hao asked as soon as he returned to the cabin and took off his mask.
Shui Lingxing said on the chair.
"Things are a bit complicated. It looks like we have to go to the Aegean Sea." Shui Lingxing said slowly.
