Chapter 16 9. Big Water Snake Strait

"It's right here, the mountain seat that is going to die." Yamaza wiped off the makeup powder on his face and said. "Actually, my sand fly fever has been cured a long time ago. But after some careful consideration, it is better to continue to pretend to be sick. When necessary, I drink some special powder to create the illusion of irregular heartbeat. One cup is not enough, I drink it Not less than four or five cups. When the governor let down his guard, I fled here." "So that's what happened. Wonderful! I admit defeat! There is one more thing I don't understand. Was it your manipulation on the compass?"

"It's me. I found out that the destination was not 'Dark Darkness', so I guessed that you must have lied to them. But the compass can't deceive anyone, you must have tampered with the compass. After my investigation, I found that you carried There is a powerful magnet in the box. I have modified the circuit of that thing." "Then you know where we are now?" "No, but I know where to go. How about it? It's okay if I take you there." "Then I'll leave it to you. My assistants are unreliable, and they plan to follow the porter back the same way. Even if I turn into ashes, I will go to the 'Dark Darkness' to find out."

The shadow of the moon faded, and dawn appeared in the sky.Stella, Polune, and Yamazuo drove a mule cart into the salt fog and headed east.After three days, they finally reached the foothills of the "Dark Darkness". Yamaza first went to find the source of the waterfall in the "big crack".There are jagged salt peaks everywhere, and the rumble of the salt layer can often be heard when it collapses.Salt eaves, salt pillars, and salt cracks at the bottom.There is a torrent flowing at the bottom of the valley with nine bends and eighteen bends. Walking here is difficult on the one hand, and the water is turbulent on the other. If you don't pay attention, you will be swept away by the torrent.In the end, like jugglers, they set up an aerial ropeway on the rock, and it took more than 20 days to finally reach the "big crack".Ahead is the end, which is the end of the human world and the entrance to the mysterious world.There, no one knew who and what would be waiting for them.

"I'm not going to sleep here tonight. What if the Carnivorous Rock appears? If I want to sleep, I'll sleep on the cliff." Polunet said weakly, feeling terrified. This should be a place similar to the bottom of the pot.The water sprayed by the waterfall falls into the bottom of the valley, and there are several rainbows attached to the waterfall.At dusk, the waterfall is reflected into a flame by the setting sun, and the two look up at the beautiful zenith.This is a land of demons, and there is no telling when a crisis will appear.But Shan Zuo did a wonderful experiment at this time.

A, OH——Hill shouted like a farmer in Australia.He yelled again and again, testing for invisible cavities in the surrounding rock.After shouting countless times, he finally found that shouting in a certain direction would not produce an echo. That night, Yamaza told Polune about his discovery in terms Stella couldn't understand.When Stella woke up the next day, Polune had disappeared. "Wow!" There was a loud cry from behind, Stella turned pale with fright, but found that the person standing behind was Shan Zuo.Yamaza laughed like a child who has managed to pull off a prank.

"That guy Polune is going to dig his gold. Alas, that gentleman's obsession with desire is really beyond compare. But he didn't come back after he went, which shows that my speculation is correct. Let's go too, if he If you're still alive, you'll be able to meet Frys." The two came to the waterfall, and Stella didn't understand why she came here, so Yamaza picked her up and jumped into the waterfall.It turns out that through the previous "scream test", Yamazao discovered that there is a tunnel leading to the ground behind the waterfall.The sun shines on the entrance of the tunnel through the rushing water, and after entering the tunnel, the surrounding area becomes pitch black.Is the front really a secret military base, or Atlantis, which has long been turned into a dead city?

The tunnel was extremely cold, and after walking for a long time, I could not see the end, and drops of cold water continued to drip from my head. They stopped in front of a fork in the road, Shan Zuo took out the flashlight, and found scratches similar to writing on the rock wall on the right hand side.Seeing this, Stella held her breath.Fries!At the end of the message she saw Fleiss' name. Leaving this text for posterity.We woke up the sleeping Atlanteans and they took us away.The people of Atlantis have lived underground for five thousand years, and their eyesight has been completely degraded, but their other senses are very developed and will not affect their survival.Of course, there is a language barrier.Atlantis had a high degree of civilization in ancient times and was known as the golden nation, but now they are probably not as good as the natives on land.Alas, we will definitely become the sacrifices of the Sea God and be cast into the Earth Sea.

Human beings claim to be the primates of all things on the ground, but the Atlanteans here are ravaged by various aquatic monsters.Big water snakes, sea spiders, sea and sky horses... the strange earth sea is full of jaw-dropping monsters.To the right of this road is the Earth Sea, and to the left is the beehive village of Atlantean cave dwellers.So far, I have solved all the previous doubts. The hairtail was forgotten by the Atlanteans in the big crack, and later the hairtail was swept up by the cyclone and blown to the sandy land far away.Osden also revealed the real reason why he was imprisoned.

Osden said he had worked as a diver's foreman in the town of Gabes, east of the lake.While he was working as a foreman, he heard of a diver who had been sucked into a secret channel near Gabes while he was working.Then he played up the matter in the bar, making people think that he already knew the existence of this waterway.The purpose of doing this is of course to hope that the Tunisian government can know the news, pay him a sum of money, and hope that he will not tell it.So he is not a "red-headed man" at all, let alone an "Atlantean". We're about to die in the belly of a fish.Before he died, Osden apologized to me, and I held his hand tightly.Before I am about to be cast into the dark depths of the sea, I want to express my last affections to Stella.Yamaza-kun, my best friend, thank you for taking care of me.

Yamaza held the tearful Stella and turned to the right side of the road while comforting her.The strong wind in the tunnel passed over their faces, and the space at the end of the tunnel was very vast, and the sound of the tide became more and more clear... Before their eyes, the faint phosphorescence of the noctiluca flickered at the head of the tide, like a leech leaf or a juniper Leafy seaweed hangs overhead like a door curtain.Suddenly, the tide surged in front of him, splashing a cloud of droplets, and the phosphorescence of the noctilucent insects was as gorgeous as fireworks bursting in the air.

A terrifying big water snake surfaced out of the sea, its body diameter was about as thick as a human's waist.At this moment, a huge golden human head loomed in the waves beside the big water snake.Oh!That is the Poseidon statue cast in 190,000 Rottolo gold!Just as they were amazed, they also found a small figure tightly clutching the ear of the Sea God Statue. "It's Polune!" Yamaza and Stella couldn't help shouting at the same time.The big water snake at the side suddenly twisted its thick body, their eyes were attracted by the chilly scales, and when they turned their heads again, Polune had disappeared.How could Polune be there?Probably he accidentally fell into the sea.What he struggled to hold on to was the golden idol of his dreams.The two of them stood there dazedly looking at the marvelous scene from the desert to the sea, intoxicated by it and unable to extricate themselves. Back at the Great Rift, Yamaza took the radio out of his luggage and sent the following message to Sharprie in Tunis: We are in "Dark Darkness".The Earth Sea under the desert really exists, as well as the Atlanteans and the Sea Serpent Strait.Do you still want to keep hunting me? Not long after, Xiapriai sent a call back from Tunisia: If you don't intend to continue the hunt, your merits and demerits will be cancelled.The plane will deliver food and water later. Shanzuo engraved the names of Fleiss and Osten on a stone tablet, which was regarded as a monument for them.Stella on the side cried bitterly, deeply grieved.After the engraving of the stele was completed, the Iron Man Mountain, who had conquered the Demon Realm, stood quietly next to the stele, paying tribute to the expedition team members who lost their lives.
