Chapter 13 "Journey to the Center of the Earth" 002 The Underground Ocean
In front of you is an endless sea.

The sea water is a cold blue-black color, slowly lapping at the endless black sand beach on the shore.

The sky glowed with a weird white light brighter than the moonlight but colder, like the northern halo, clear and dry.

There were still large clouds above their heads, and occasionally there would be streaks of dazzling lightning among the clouds, but they didn't strike down.But, overall, the weather here is still pretty good.

At the end of the black sand beach is a large cliff.There seems to be a jungle above the cliff.But there were no trees in the jungle, only countless huge towering mushrooms, lush and green, shimmering under the clouds above their heads.

At the end of this mushroom, there is another jungle.In that jungle are real trees.The plants in this subcontinent are not limited to mushrooms.Countless other species of trees with pale or strangely yellowed leaves towered a little further off.They are easy to identify.There are ferns, mosses, cycads, and more.But on the surface, they are just a small piece of squat.Here, they can grow to two or three storeys, or even higher.

Both Aksai and Hans stared straight.Although Bai Luo has the perspective of God, when she saw these miraculous plants with her own eyes, she still felt shocked.

Aikesai couldn't hold back, and said shit.Professor Lidenbrock glared at him, and Akersey smiled awkwardly.

"That's the magic of nature," Professor Liedenbrock said in a slightly higher tone. "The plants of the transitional period of the earth are all here. These low plants that are planted in our yard are also in certain places. You can grow so tall under the same environment. Look, children, take a good look. From now on, you will probably know more about biology than any great botanist."

Hans said: "WLMQ on Ashla Ancient Road, Bali Kacha?"

Professor Lidenbrock: "He asked what those big rocks on the shore were?"

Professor Lidenbrock explained to him: "That's not a stone, it's a skeleton. This is the lower jaw of a mammoth," Professor Lidenbrock said. "I once worked with a professor of paleontology for a while. Only mammoths can With such big teeth and such long tusks.”

Bai Luo: "But isn't that thing extinct long ago?"

Professor Lidenbrock said with some vigilance: "In this place, nothing can be said for sure."

Bai Luo and others could not help but patrol different points on the horizon in fear, but there was no living thing on the deserted coast.

At this time, a long howl suddenly came from the depths of the mushroom forest on the shore.A huge head protruded from the mushroom forest, mighty and domineering.

Akesai was dumbfounded: "Am I not mistaken? That looks like a dinosaur drawn in a newspaper?"

Bai Luo swallowed his saliva.

"You read that right, I saw it too, and it seemed to be a meat-eating Tyrannosaurus rex."

Hans: "Agula, the younger brother of Albrusaab."

Professor Liedenbrock said: "Hans said it wasn't a dinosaur, it was the cursed hound of Odin, the Lord of the Gods. But, Hans, it's not good for you to be so feudal and superstitious."

The 4 people looked around the beach in a panic, and found that the beach was surrounded by cliffs, and those monsters should not be able to get down, so they were slightly relieved.

…………

There are also several towering trees growing at the end of the beach. The four decided to make the best use of everything, cut down the tree, built a small raft, and crossed the sea on the raft.

Before cutting down the tree, several people explored carefully at the seaside.

Bai Luo held up a basin of sea water to observe carefully.But I saw countless dense blue dots in the sea water, I don't know if they are plants or animals, and they can move, swimming in the water non-stop.Bai Luo's intensive phobia struck, and goosebumps appeared layer after layer.

Aikesai frightened her, deliberately raised a basin of sea water, and was about to splash it on her face.Bai Luo was so frightened that he screamed again and again, Akesai smiled and stopped in time.

Bai Luo wanted to cry but asked without tears: "Father, what is this?"

Professor Lidenbrock said: "It should be a very primitive single-celled organism in the early days of the earth's birth. This should be cyanobacteria."

Bai Luo frowned and asked, "Then are they algae or bugs?"

Professor Lidenbrock said: "This should be a life between animals and plants. You can call it algae, or you can call it a bug."

Bai Luo poured down the water in his hands greasy, but in the end, there were a lot of dark blue dots on his hands, and his heart became even more greasy.

She went ashore and grabbed a handful of sand to wipe her hands clean.Aikesai also went to her side to wash his hands with sand, and subconsciously glanced at Bai Luo's chest, but saw a ray of spring breeze from the girl's unintentionally drooping neckline.

Akesai turned his face away in embarrassment.

Bai Luo understood in seconds, the roots of his ears were reddish, and he quickly pulled off his collar.

…………

A few people were cutting wood to make a boat, and the rope was not enough, so they cut off two pairs of Aksai's jeans, tied them together, and twisted them into ropes.

Aikesai smiled wryly: "I think this ship should be called Jeans."

Professor Liedenbrock nodded and accepted his proposal.

"Give this small harbor a name, too?"

Aikesai glanced at Bai Luo and said, "Let's call it Golo White Harbor. Golo White Harbor is suitable to be placed on the map."

Professor Lidenbrock agreed and looked at his daughter with a smile.

It's a pity that Bai Luo was tying up the raft right now, all his energy was spent on work, and he didn't notice his small thoughts.

…………

The four of them pushed the boat into the sea and started drifting like this.

The wind in the sea is surprisingly strong.The boat was propelled by the wind like the wind.No one could tell where the wind came from or what kind of force pushed it far away.

The bow of the ship stirred up foaming waves one after another.

Bai Luo was tired of those densely packed little things, and they sat in the center of the small raft or in the small cloth tent all the time, never touching the water if they could not touch it.

She asked: "Father, the water is like this, can there still be fish in it?"

Professor Liedenbrock shook his head and said, "I can't tell. In this kind of place, no one knows what kind of monsters you might encounter."

Axel was a young lad who was restless.He tied a piece of meat to a rope and threw it into the sea, thinking it was fishing.

Axel said: "What if there is really a fish in it! If you catch one, you can save some dry food."

Before he finished speaking, he only felt the long rope tighten.The pulling force on the other end of the rope was so great that he staggered and nearly fell into the sea!

Hans had quick eyesight and quick hands, and quickly grabbed him.Aikesai let go subconsciously, and the long rope sank into the sea at once.

Axel slapped his head in frustration.

"I didn't catch it, blame me!"

At this time, I saw a huge black shadow passing by the boat.The black shadow was actually a bit longer than the boat, its dorsal fin sliced ​​through the waves, it was frighteningly tall.

Aksai turned pale.If he had grabbed the rope just now, he might have been dragged into the sea, and now the person would be gone.

"what fish is this?"

Professor Liedenbrock's face was equally pale and bewildered.

"I don't know. I've never seen such a fin before. But we are about the same size as it, so it shouldn't dare to provoke us. Come sit in the middle of the boat and be careful."

Axel nodded hurriedly.
