From seeing it

When he said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "I have a colleague, his surname is Shi, who specializes in the research of corals. During a chat, he once told me very excitedly that he found a coral fossil in a coral fossil." A species of coral polyp that has never been seen before. According to their research, this coral polyp is not like ordinary coral with a round body. It looks like the fictional hell devil in our folklore, with a head that is huge compared to the body. , with a face that looks like a devil, and there are many tentacles under the head. There are mouths in the tentacles. The secretions in the mouth are strongly corrosive and can emit dazzling fluorescence. Because the shape resembles a hell devil, it looks very strange. , so they called it devil coral. Of course, according to their research, this devil coral is not suitable for the current marine environment, so it has long been extinct, and only exists in some sporadic fossils. They were lucky enough to extract this The DNA of the coral was cultivated in the culture solution, but not many people know about it now. I only found out that there was such a strange devil coral in the ocean in ancient times only in a chat with him. .”

Hearing Guo Zhenwei's explanation, everyone finally understood. He obviously suspected that it was this kind of devil coral polyp that should have been extinct long ago that formed a fluorescent torrent and swallowed the giant turtle just now.

"It's just that I can't understand why this kind of devil coral, which can't survive in the modern ocean environment, appears in such a large number on this black mountain. How they survive." Guo Zhenwei shook his head, thinking of the scene just now , especially lingering fear.

If the group of them were submerged by the fluorescent torrent, they would be devoured in the blink of an eye, leaving only skeletons.

Wang Haiyang pondered and said: "Devil coral? It's really hard to believe that such a strange coral polyp existed in the ancient ocean."

Although he is an oceanographer, this is the first time he has heard of this devil coral, and he can't help but sigh.

Wang Lei sighed: "Speaking of which, Shenao wanted to die by himself and destroyed the coral reef wantonly, which alarmed these devil coral polyps, otherwise he might not die."

The only crew member among the crowd suddenly said, "That giant turtle destroyed the lifeboat, how do we go back?"

After saying this, everyone was startled, and then came back to their senses, thinking that before Shen'ao climbed ashore, he overturned the lifeboat, and with its strength, the lifeboat might have been destroyed.

Losing the lifeboat meant that they would be trapped on the Black Mountain. Thinking of the consequences, many people changed their faces.

Seeing the appearance of everyone, Zhou Kesheng said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Captain Cao and the others have already gone out in a lifeboat to seek help. If there is no accident, the rescue ship has probably been contacted by now. We will wait for them to come to the rescue on this black mountain." Can."

Pang Yan hesitated and said, "If what Tingting said before is correct, Captain Cao and the others were caught up by this Shenao... then what should we do?"

She only spoke half of what she said, but everyone understood what she meant.

There are two Shenao in this sea area, the Shenao that destroyed the "Explorer" was killed by Du Changde with a rocket, but the Shenao did not appear until several hours later and caught up with Montenegro. Yu Tingting once suspected this Shen'ao chased Cao Zhiren and Jiang Hongtao's lifeboat first, and he might have killed them before turning around and chasing them, so it took a long time before he appeared.

If this conjecture is true, it means that they are trapped to death in this black mountain, and there is no one to rescue them.

This conjecture made everyone fearful.

Zhou Kesheng raised his voice, and said: "Even if this kind of thing really happens, there are many trees and bamboos in this Montenegro, we can also make bamboo rafts and wooden valves by ourselves, not to mention this time I have prepared in advance. We have lost contact for more than ten days, and a new rescue ship will be sent from above, so don’t worry, everyone.”

Hearing what Zhou Kesheng said, everyone heaved a sigh of relief and felt a little relieved.

Everyone chatted for a while, feeling sleepy, and then quieted down.

Everyone rested on the spot for three full hours, and many of them took this opportunity to sleep for a while to refresh themselves before continuing to climb up the Black Mountain.

According to the time, it is close to noon now, but the sky is still dark and dull, with no sign of brightening.

The more people looked at it, the more weird it seemed, as if above this sea area, there was really a black cover covering them in this area.

This time, everyone climbed up the black rock for less than ten minutes, and found two giant symbols engraved on the huge rock facing them.

Each symbol was the size of a round table, and Sun Tao carried the searchlight and shot it from a distance, hitting the beam on it.

The old professor Li Zhibao let out a soft moan, and hurriedly walked over at a faster pace.

This kind of symbol is not naturally generated, but carved out artificially, which means that there have been traces of human activities on this black mountain.

Everyone was slightly excited and hurried forward.

These are two ancient characters, which Xiao Ling didn't recognize, so he looked at Li Zhibao.

Li Zhibao took a deep breath, looked a little excited, looked at these two symbols and began to read: "Penglai."

"Penglai?" Xiao Ling's heart trembled.

This name is no stranger to him.

In ancient pre-Qin mythology, it is said that there are three fairy islands in the East China Sea, surrounded by a black sea of ​​darkness.

The three fairy islands are Penglai, Yingzhou and Fangzhang.

Although Xiao Ling doesn't know much about the myths of the ancient pre-Qin period, he still knows some famous ones.

These three fairy islands are very famous, even Xiao Ling is familiar with them.

Hu Shengzhe said with surprise on his face, "It really says Penglai? It can't be such a coincidence, can it? Is this Black Mountain really one of the legendary three sacred mountains?"

Wang Lei said: "In the myths and legends about Guixu, the five sacred mountains are Daiyu, Yuanqiao, Abbot, Yingzhou, and Penglai. Among them, Daiyu and Yuanqiao sank in the ocean, and the remaining Abbot, Yingzhou, Penglai Then it evolved into the famous three fairy mountains in the East China Sea."

Pang Yan took a few photos with the camera, and then said: "I also know these three fairy mountains. I heard that ancient people went to sea to find these three fairy mountains deep in the East China Sea. They believed that there are gods in the mountains, and they can find immortality. method."

Hu Shengzhe chuckled, and said: "Then we really want to go up there and have a look, take a chance, and see if there is really any way to live forever."

Yu Tingting said: "These two symbols were carved by hand, but I don't know who carved them and when they were carved."

Pang Yan said: "Since the legend is a fairy mountain, maybe this word is left by the gods."
