There are fish corpses everywhere.
Suman also saw some corpses that had returned to their human form. He counted the number of people among them. Plus the two who died earlier, the numbers matched. They were the missing senior brothers and sisters. Judging from their state before death, no It is hard to guess that they may have gotten the news about the arrival of haenyeo and fled outside, but they did not escape and died on the way.
They thought that there were enough people who died on the road, until they arrived at an arched cave, where corpses were piled up like mountains, and their deaths were extremely miserable, as if they had been torn apart alive by wild beasts.
But there was no figure of the haenyeo inside.
The luminous stones placed on the surrounding walls illuminate the entire crypt. This crypt is about the size of a football field. There are some strange symbols on the surrounding walls and on the ground. It is estimated that it was used for some kind of ritual in the past. , and judging from the position where they died, it can probably be seen that when the haenyeo came, they were performing some kind of ritual.
She stepped forward and touched the pillar erected in the center of the crypt. There was an obvious groove on it, which was extremely round. There should have been a round thing embedded in it before, which was probably what the senior brother said. Heart of the sea.
"Suman, we found something." Yanchao, who was examining the body at the side, called her.
After she passed by, she saw Yanchao pulling out an old man from the pile of corpses. So many fish people here had been killed, but nothing happened to him. There was not a single wound on his body, except for the loose skin on his face. Apart from the vertical and horizontal ravines, it is almost impossible to tell what he looks like.
He was the same as her dead brothers and sisters in human form. The only difference was that he was not dead, he was still alive and could even breathe easily in the water.
"Are you also sent by Haenyeo?" The old man struggled to open his eyes, feebly.
Suman did not answer his question, but took advantage of his low energy and low vigilance to ask him, "Who are you? Are you a fish tribe? Why can you maintain your human form?"
"Who am I?" When the old man heard her question, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he murmured again, "Who am I?" He fell into the world of his own memories and remained silent for a long time.
After a while, his eyes widened as if he suddenly woke up, "I am the fifteenth mayor of Dayu Village.
Here, they all call me, boss. "
As he spoke, he suddenly smiled nervously, "Yes, they also call me the New God. I am not a fish tribe, I am a god."
The fifteenth village chief? New God?
Suman and Yanchao looked at each other.
She asked the wrinkled old man in front of her, "Do you know who is the mayor of Dayu Village now? How old are you?"
Before she could finish her question, the old man interrupted her, "Of course I know! The reason why Big Fish Village can survive until now can be said to be all due to me! Big Fish Village has now reached the 28th village. Long! However, the twenty-eighth village chief is a fool. He is finished. He was parasitized by that guy. He is finished.
Only I am the strongest in this village, and I am the only one who has seen through that guy’s true face.” When he said this, stars were shining in his eyes, and he really took this matter as a matter of pride.
"It was me who saw through that guy's true colors, and it was me who took the lead in not paying tribute to that guy, so that guy is declining day by day."
His words were confusing, but Suman still understood. The old man in front of him might be the legendary village chief mentioned by the village chief's daughter Tian'er! The man who dared to lead the whole village to resist Poseidon!
But how many years has it been? He is still alive? Even living under the sea, it's no wonder he looks so old.
"What is that guy's true face?" She felt that she already knew the truth about the jellyfish, so she just asked casually to pave the way for the next question. However, she did not expect that she heard a different answer from the village chief. .
"It is just a sea creature that lives on the bottom of the sea! What a sea god, it is nothing! The reason why there are so few catches in the sea is all because of it! It has a very big appetite, and the few catches in the sea are all eaten by it! I saw it with my own eyes!!”
He looked up at the shiny roof of the cave and fell into memories. At that time, he was young and energetic. After becoming the village chief, he really wanted to lead the village to progress, but the marine life in the sea How much, it was not up to him. He had a headache for many days. Until one day, when he was out fishing, he accidentally rescued a man at sea. The man said he was a marine biologist. He said he was a marine biologist. While swimming at a certain beach, I was accidentally swept away by the waves.
In order to repay his life-saving grace, the marine biologist planned to help him analyze what was wrong with their ocean.
To this end, the biologist also invited some expert friends to come with some professional instruments. After a few days of investigation, he really discovered some problems. He told him that there is another place in this place. There are quite a few fish swimming over, but in less than a day and a half, these fish will disappear again, and there may only be a few fish that have slipped through the net.
The biologist had been investigating for a long time, but he didn't know what the specific problem was. He had another project at the time, but that project was waiting for no one. In the end, the investigation on his side came to nothing. The biologist felt that there was no I was very embarrassed to help him, so before I left, I told him my immature guess. He said that there might be a huge creature under the sea here, and that thing would eat all the other sea creatures. Lost.
However, the biologist also said that this guess is not reliable, because if there is really such a big guy, the equipment they brought cannot detect it at all.
No one else took the biologist's words to heart, but he believed it at the time, and there was no way he could not believe it. Otherwise, how could he explain that so many fish came here and there was no trace of leaving here, but there was no trace of them leaving. He was caught by them and disappeared?
So, from that day on, he went to the sea more often. If he couldn't find it during the day, he would go to the sea at night to look for it.
Finally, just when he was about to give up, one night, he discovered the clue!
As usual, he jumped into the sea in the middle of the night. The dim spotlight above his head gave off a dim light, making the dark sea look extremely strange. He went into the sea many times at night, and he had never felt like that in one day. When he couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to go ashore, he found that there were two lantern-like lights somewhere in the sea.
He took courage and pointed the spotlight tremblingly at it. Then, he saw a terrifying scene that he would never forget. It even echoed in front of his eyes as soon as he closed his eyes. A giant jellyfish was floating not far from him. Chu was looking straight at him, yes, looking at him, staring at him with those two huge eyes! Jellyfish has eyes! ! ! The two lantern-like lights are the reflection of its eyes! !
Severely frightened, the air in his mouth was relieved. He fluttered in the water in a panic, but it didn't help. He drowned!
