Seeing this scene, Yue Guanchao had goosebumps on the back of his head. This kind of water cage tomb was just like a pig cage. It was built entirely to let the sinners die without a burial place. It can be seen that these corpses are indeed Jin Kingdom soldiers.
The two walked through the tombs. The arrangement of these water cage tombs was really circular. Under the cover of the water plants, one could see obvious arc boundaries. In view of Song Siyuan's reminder, there is a high probability that around the tombs of these Jin Kingdom soldiers, The entrance to the treasure ship mound is preserved.
They walked around the outermost circle of tombs and entered the water and grass field that no tomb had ever entered. Walking into this place, you can clearly feel that the water plants are arranged very regularly. This pattern is not to form any pattern, but that there will be no fields of water plants growing so neatly. They specially float a few meters above the ground and face downwards. Look, the water and grass field is a perfect circle the size of a mansion, but the boundary is blurred under the cover of the surrounding ancient underwater trees, making it difficult to detect it.
They returned to the water and grass, groped the ground carefully, picked up the iron rod and pierced it into the mud. When it reached a depth of half a meter, it seemed that the bottom of the iron rod touched a hard object and could no longer penetrate half an inch deeper.
This has already explained the bottom line. The silt of Dongting Lake is so deep that it is impossible to reach the bottom in less than half an inch. This means that there must be something under the silt.
He and Xu Xiake put away the iron rods and took out shovels to dig out the mud near the water plants. When they dug to a depth of half a meter, what appeared underneath was an iron button with a basalt pattern. It was about the size of half a water tank and was beautifully carved. , combined with the shape of Xuanwu Island, there is a high probability that it is some kind of mechanism.
They were about to get down to see the basalt iron beast, when the mud they dug out began to shake, and a turtle that had just shed its shell emerged from it.
Yue Guanchao looked back and saw that there were not only shelled turtles in the mud, but also turtle shells that had been shoveled by them. Many egg liquids were scattered in the water, and the fishy smell attracted nearby fish, shrimps, snakes and eels to peck at them.
How could there be a buried turtle shell in this place, and it could even hatch? Yue Guanchao squatted down and dug randomly in the mud. After lifting the top layer of mud, he found turtle eggs the size of goose eggs. Most of these turtle eggs were deeply sunk in the mud and scattered unevenly. If they hadn't dug them out, Aquatic plants, there is really no way to discover these things.
Something was fishy. Yue Guanchao stopped what he was doing and turned around to look at the turtle that had just shed its shell. When he got this thing in his hand, his eyes couldn't help but widen.
The fine lines of mountains and rivers have already appeared on the turtle shell. The tail is slender with a fish tail, and the claws on the limbs have slightly grown transparent scales. Although the head still looks like a turtle, you can see a slightly longer pointed beak. The head is also somewhat uneven.
This thing is not a turtle at all, but a dragon turtle! Yue Guanchao looked around. If all the dragon turtle cubs were buried in the mud, this place would probably be an turtle nest in addition to the entrance.
Realizing this, the two of them felt a thump in their hearts. Although they couldn't speak underwater, they could still see the approaching danger in each other's eyes.
In most animal nests, there will be female beasts guarding them. Unless they are looking for food, they cannot go far. Thinking about the corpses hung in tree branches, they already know what Longao's food is.
At present, they have smashed the turtle shell. If Long Ao is really nearby, they will definitely die.
"Let's go... eh?" Yue Guanchao snorted the word "go" from his nose, put down the little turtle and was about to leave, but after a moment, the jungle in front of him really made a clicking sound, causing ripples in the water.
Amidst this crackling sound, a huge head was seen poking out from the bushes, with countless weeds fluttering in the face, looking down at them like a ghost.
"Run!" Xu Xiake drank several sips of water excitedly and pulled Yue Guanchao into the bushes. In just one breath, the dragon turtle had completely penetrated the water and grass field from the bushes, and was licking the mucus on the turtle shell nearby. The two of them hid in the bushes and took advantage of the gap to look forward.
It has a phoenix-eyed crocodile mouth, catfish whiskers and tusks, and the top of its head is covered with thorns. The two thickest thorns branch upward and stand up. There are snake belly circles on the neck. The limbs and claws are like dragon claws, and the backs of the claws are covered with carp scales. The neck came out of the huge turtle shell like a house, and the tail under the shell was like the half body of a carp. It kept shaking its fins, sweeping away all the mud and filling the hole. It was clear what it was.
Probably, this is an adult dragon turtle. Yue Guanchao knew that this kind of dragon Ao was probably taking care of the funeral of its cub, so he pulled Xu Xiake and continued to run outside. The shrubs disturbed the water flow, which would inevitably be transmitted to the distance. This dragon's ao's eyes were looking at the shrubs, and it made a sound in the water. There were muffled roars and they kept hitting the bushes. Their fangs wanted to reach into the bushes and pull them out directly.
I think it is too big to enter the bushes at all, so it can only rage outside. However, Yue Guanchao and the others may not have any advantage. No matter where they go, this dragon Ao can always climb to the top of the tree crown, as if it is watching. Watching the prey in the cage, he never relaxed for a moment.
The two of them swam in the bush for a while, still not daring to show their heads outside. Yue Guanchao looked at Xu Xiake and sobbed: "Now, we can only run out quickly, in case it bites off the bush, this move It's useless to it." They pondered the current situation, stretched out their heads and retracted their heads sooner or later to get a knife, swam their bodies into the deep bushes, and then turned back to the original route, hoping to get rid of this dragon's claws It wasn't until the huge black shadow was no longer seen that I felt a little relieved.
Yue Guanchao and the others poked their heads out of the forest, and before Long Ao found them, they immediately swam towards the diving bell in the distance.
At this moment, John Hua obviously didn't know what was going on, and was still shining a searchlight on the underwater forest. Yue Guanchao knew that it was impossible for John Hua to hear what they were saying, so he tried his best to swing his arms upward, meaning to call someone to rescue him quickly. Follow him up.
The speaker is intentional, the reader is unintentional. John Hua thought he was telling him to continue approaching, and controlled the diving bell to continue moving in their direction. It wasn't until he saw the huge figure diving directly from the forest that he realized what was happening.
At this moment, the huge head with fangs was only a dozen meters away from his diving bell. Yue Guanchao and Xu Xiake had to dodge in both directions.
Bang, the dragon's turtle thought the diving bell was a living thing and hit his head directly. The metal vibrated wildly in the water, causing millions of ripples to ripple.
Seeing that this thing couldn't bite, Long Ao continued to attack Yue Guanchao, and his huge body rushed towards him.
Not to mention being bitten by such a big dragon Ao, even being hit would cause bleeding from the lungs and severed muscles. As a mortal body, he could not confront the dragon Ao head-on, so he could only hide from it in the water. Keep sneaking and swimming.
