Chapter 65 Chapter Eleven Devil Grassland

"Strange, how come the thunder and lightning seem to come from that black cloud?" I stared at the front and muttered, but before the words came out of my mouth completely, my mouth was filled with sea water . The repeated sinking and resurfacing again and again, everyone was going crazy.My eyes were burning, and even though I was submerged, I kept blinking to relieve the pain in my eyes.However, the sea is full of seaweed, and these things bind us tightly like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. I forced myself to calm down, holding my breath and tearing these green seaweeds vigorously. At this time, I realized that these seaweeds are sargassum, and there is a small stone entangled there between the sargassum. The body seemed to be electrocuted, and it suddenly calmed down.

"Grassland, grassland... There are a lot of ghosts, there are ghosts!" In an instant, this sentence lingered in my mind. Could it be that the grassland that the tourist who died on the supply ship was talking about was this place?Although I have doubts in my heart, I am a human being after all, and I still can't bear to stay in the water for a long time, and I have been in the water for more than a while.I calmed down, untied the seaweed wrapped around my body, and then swam towards the surface of the sea.The sea water is no longer turbid as it was before, it has become extremely clear, and the water flow has become smoother, instead of one flowing east and the other west, now there is only one direction.

Everyone says that snow falls silently, but in fact, if snow falls on water, it will sound as loud as thunder when you hear it underwater.When the current was still, many things happened in succession. Just when I was about to float to the surface, the sound of falling snow that I had heard when I was swimming in winter resounded in the South China Sea again.However, this sound came from the bottom of the sea. A shock wave rushed over from a dark abyss in the bottom of the sea, and the four of us were all blown out of the water. "Cough cough...cough cough..." I was hit by the shock wave so badly that my heart ached and I wanted to vomit blood. I managed to float up to the surface of the water to breathe air, but my lungs felt extremely painful.

"What happened just now? It seems that there is a strong stream of water coming up from the bottom of the sea!" Chen Jing said in horror, it seems that she also found that things are more complicated than she imagined. Xinhong ignored our surprise. After he surfaced, he turned the small wooden boat over again by himself. Everyone saw that they could get on the boat again, and they all flocked on board.This time I didn't rush to go up first, Xinhong looked at me puzzled, and asked: "Why don't you go up, don't you think you haven't stayed in the water enough?"

"Well, it's not enough! You go up first, wait for me for a while!" I ignored Xinhong's surprise, and got into the water again without hesitation. I held my breath and turned over and over in the sargassum, and finally I found it, the stone entangled in sargassum—a dark green stone!I hurriedly grabbed the stone and put it in my pocket. After making sure it wouldn't fall out, I swam towards the small wooden boat.Subconsciously, I looked back at the place where the shock wave shot out just now, it was very dark, and it was a sideways place, surrounded by colorful corals.The number of corals was astonishingly large, and they all grew from one hill to another, which made me panic.

After I boarded the boat, no one asked me curiously why I went into the water. They were probably all exhausted, thirsty, and had no intention of getting to the bottom of it.They have been quietly watching the sea, the original vortex has disappeared.The vortexes that were fierce and unusual just now were nowhere to be found. I patted my chest. I don’t know if this is a blessing in misfortune.Although the sky was about to get dark, things could still be seen clearly, and the water became extremely clear and bright. I don't know if the disappearance of so many vortices is related to the shock wave just now. They all happened at about the same time. If there is no connection, it can't be justified.The vortex disappeared and the water flowed smoothly. Could it be that the Guixu of the South China Sea, which existed for hundreds of millions of years, has been filled? What is under this bottomless hole?However, this is just a myth and legend, and it cannot be regarded as true, but it is not impossible to think about it.The monsters and Aoyin I saw in Shanxi last time, don't they also exist?Although they have always been rumored to be monsters, they are actually just a rare animal, so what is the true face of this South China Sea Guixu?

"Look at that black cloud, there seems to be lightning in it all the time!" Lin Yue shouted, but it seemed that she did it on purpose, although her expression was very natural. I stared at the black mist for a long time. There was indeed a light shining inside, but it just stopped coming towards us.The range of this group of black mist is very large, and it looks very spectacular. It seems to be an island inside.At this time, the sky was already dark, and many stars appeared in the sky.I once went to the desert in the west. The night in the desert is very beautiful. It is a scenery that we can’t see in the Jiangnan water town. The stars there are very big and bright at night, as if they are right above our heads. You can hear the breathing of the stars when they twinkle.

I was looking at the positions of these stars, and after a rough calculation, we have already drifted past Zengmu Shoal!In ancient times, navigating according to the astrology to grasp the direction was a secret art, and ordinary people could not know it, but I have read ancient books for some years, so I know a little bit about it.Although everyone knows that the stars are used to judge the direction, the ancient secret technique is even more powerful. It can judge the position very accurately, and many scientists are amazed. I recalled that I had studied the map before Hainan, and there seemed to be no islands in this area, not to mention that the island shrouded in black mist was not small.If there are really islands in this place, there is no reason why satellites in space cannot photograph them.Our little wooden boat has been standing still since the whirlpool disappeared, and now we have no oars, how shall we row?Everyone suppressed hunger and thirst, and after drinking Xinhong's bottle of fresh water mixed with seawater, everyone fell asleep on the boat.When I woke up, I just opened my eyes and muttered why I hadn’t woken up yet, why I was still dreaming, and even dreamed that I was in the prairie of Inner Mongolia!

There is a vast expanse of grassland in front of me, but after looking at it for a long time, I can't even see a cow or sheep in this grassland, and there is not even a human figure.I was still sitting on the small wooden boat, how could the small wooden boat drive to the grassland, this is really a boring dream!Xinhong and the others were also staring blankly at the grassland. I thought it was just a dream anyway, so I might as well go for a walk.Unexpectedly, I just stretched out my legs, and Xin Hong and the others stopped me loudly, but my legs had already stretched out.This stretch actually fell into the bottom of the grassland, and my mouth and nose were filled with bitter sea water. What's going on?

I yelled and struggled up, and finally climbed into the small wooden boat. I was still in shock and realized that this was not a dream, but the real world!But isn't this grassland?Looking at this grassland, it took me a long time to realize that these are not grasslands, but seaweeds! In 1492, while crossing the Atlantic Ocean, Columbus encountered a large patch of sargassum, which he called Devil's Prairie.The Sargasso Sea that Columbus encountered was near the Bermuda Islands. This kind of Sargassum surfaced all of a sudden and disappeared all of a sudden. No one can be sure about it.Although sargassum is an inconspicuous seaweed, it does not grow on the rocks on the coast, but floats in the ocean in the form of a "big raft".They can take nutrients directly in seawater, and then spread by splitting into pieces and continuing to grow independently.From ancient times to the present, I do not know how many sailing warriors died under the hands of Sargasso.Take the sargassum in front of us as an example. The seaweed on the water surface is more than ten meters thick. If you don’t maneuver, you can only hesitate when you get here, waiting to die.

"I don't think it's a coincidence, someone must have put so much sargassum here on purpose!" I thought. "Why?" Chen Jing and Lin Yue asked me at the same time, but they didn't show any surprise at my answer, as if they already knew why. "I think it's to prevent people from entering the black mist." Xinhong said what I was thinking before I could answer. "That black cloud is a little far away from us, it looks like an island to me?" Chen Jing stretched her neck long as she spoke. "But isn't this cloud of black mist too big? It looks scary." I took a deep breath and said. "It's been a whole night. Are we going to waste like this forever? If we don't die of thirst, we will starve to death!" Chen Jing paused for a while, and then continued, "Why don't we go to the island and have a look!" "Anyway, the surrounding area is full of sea water, so let's venture in and have a look, maybe there's something to eat!" Xinhong gritted his teeth and said. "But... just go in like this, we don't know what's inside." I thought for a while and said, "Besides, we are now trapped by sargassum, and the boat can't move at all. What do you use to paddle across? ?” Everyone was stunned after listening to my words, and then it was Chen Jing who spoke first: "Let's all go down into the water and swim slowly. Everyone is holding on to the small wooden boat and pushing the boat over. If there is a chance, you can sit on it." Get the boat out!" I thought about it in my heart, and I thought it was fine, I couldn't wait to die of hunger.When the four of us reached an agreement, we all jumped into the sea without hesitation.After all, there is sargassum more than ten meters thick in the sea, which is slippery and resilient. Wherever it appears, marine life will stay away. Except for animals such as whales and sea turtles, they will run away when they see it, let alone us. Human beings are land animals. When I jumped into the water, I suddenly felt uncomfortable. I wanted to swim, but I was caught by the sargassum. I was so hungry that I almost wanted to drown.The black mist in front seemed to be very close to us, but everyone still couldn't touch it after swimming for a long time, and I began to wonder if I saw a mirage.We were exhausted, and just when everyone was about to give up, the sea suddenly became restless again.Our submerged bodies felt another violent wave on the bottom of the sea, and the current began to become chaotic again. "Could it be that the vortex is coming again?" I said with a wry smile, "It seems that the Nanhai Guixu has not been filled yet, and it is coming again!" As soon as I finished speaking, several large eddies suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea. Our position was right next to these large eddies, and as soon as they appeared, they pushed us towards the black mist.The large vortex was formed in an instant. Although the huge momentum it produced was not as powerful as the shock wave, its power should not be underestimated.We were pushed into the black mist by the torrent. This black mist was very thick, and there seemed to be electricity in the water. My body was so numb that I felt like I was about to convulse.In the mist, thunder and lightning continued, just like the underworld.Outside the mist is day, but inside it is simply night.The current hit us on a rock, and we all had our backs to the rock, so we all hit our heads hard on the rock.We were either hungry or thirsty, our physical strength was exhausted, and we couldn't bear the impact. We all immediately rolled our eyes and passed out together. When I was about to pass out, I subconsciously clutched the pocket containing the green stone. This stone is very important, and it would be a pity to lose it.When I fainted, my lower body was cold, but my upper body didn't feel cold. I whispered in my dream, could it be that we have already been washed to the shore of the island in the black mist! ?It was so strange, when they were swimming into the black mist, both Chen Jing and Lin Yue seemed to know that there was an island in the black mist, and what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourds.Could it be that those four tourists also want to come here, what exactly do they want? When I was in a coma, I dreamed about my parents again. The content of the dream was the same, so boring that I was tired of it.In the dream, I still kept calling my parents, they still ignored my shouting, and then they ran into the darkness, there was still a big bird at the end of the darkness, it was very beautiful, at this moment I suddenly had a feeling, a very strange feeling.This feeling hangs in my heart and makes me very bored. I seem to have seen that bird...that big bird before!I hastily stretched out my hand towards the end of the darkness and shouted, "Don't go!" Because I screamed too hard, I actually got up and stretched out my hand, and then I woke up suddenly from the dream.My forehead was covered with cold sweat, and before I had time to think about my dream, I saw the astonishing scene in the black mist as soon as I opened my eyes.I stared at all this dumbfounded, then touched the bag containing the green stones, and said, "Here... I didn't expect this to be the bottom of the ancient ocean!"
