Paintings of Terror

The two hurriedly moved away from the patch of water and grass, and when the roar of the beast stopped, the two slowly approached again.

The current situation is that looking for fragments is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack, and there is no clue after looking for the dragon girl for a while, and the roar of the beast just now was heard on the sea, maybe there are some clues hidden here.

But as they got closer to the water grass, the two became more and more surprised. This piece of water grass might not even be able to hide a diving cow, let alone the "ferocious beast" that scared the diving cows.

The aquatic plants danced with the waves in the water, and the gaps between the grass blades were very clear, and it was impossible to hide any huge things.

Zhu Haowen bubbled: "Could it be that the beast is hiding in the soil under the water plants?"

Qin Ci Blister: "The terrain of our seabed is very high, it seems to belong to the sea ridge."

Zhu Haowen Blister: "This question is too profound, and we can't describe the whole picture of this seabed. If this is a sea ridge, it means that seabed spreading has occurred here, that is to say, this was once a rift valley, a rift valley. The ejected magma formed these ridges?"

"Your bubble is too big..." Qin Ci shattered the large bubble that Zhu Haowen said with great difficulty, and then ejected several small bubbles, "So, there was a fractured valley tens of thousands of years ago?

"So, there was a lot of magma here?

"So, the flame sky above the sea actually formed a kind of...

"A kind of time difference?"

Zhu Haowen caught these small bubbles back and forth like playing badminton, and the order of two of them was reversed, and he needed to react to understand what he heard.

Qin Ci received a small bubble from Zhu Haowen: "I want you to swipe the screen."

Qin Ci bubble: "..."

Zhu Haowen's bubble: "The idea of ​​time difference is very good. We jumped into the sea of ​​fire, and the sea monk took us to swim away. Maybe tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years have passed?"

Qin Ci couldn't control the bubbles that spewed out, he quickly shattered it and said, "Ahem, it makes sense, Si Nian and his wife are archaeologists themselves, they may have discovered some..."

A roar that resounded through the bottom of the sea came again, shocking the two of them.

Zhu Haowen sighed with emotion at the backflips he performed in the water, and when he stabilized his figure, he swam over to try to flip the aquatic plants.

Qin Ci felt that Zhu Haowen was a bit aggressive, but he still followed him, and spouted a water bubble warning him with sincerity.

Zhu Haowen ignored the blister, and continued to search for the pile of water plants, but he didn't find anything inside.

There are no fish and shrimps within a few miles around here, and they probably swam away because of the sound.

"It's really weird, is this thing really hidden in the rock formations under the sea?" Zhu Haowen spewed out a water bubble talking to himself.

There was another roar, like a sound wave, causing the hair of both of them to stand on end in the water.

Zhu Haowen was a little annoyed, and with his hair bristling, he untied the cloth strip around his waist, where the music box was hidden.

Qin Ci didn't understand what Zhu Haowen was going to do for a while, so he spit out several blisters and asked several times.

Zhu Haowen only sent out a blister: "I'll give you a little bit of power too."

Following another roar from the aquatic plants, Zhu Haowen snapped open the music box, and the sound of turbulent waves crashing on the shore instantly filled the entire sea area.

The "something" in the water plants became anxious, and continuously roared angrily, and the music box also continuously made loud noises of huge waves hitting the rocks. Zhu Haowen directly placed the music box with the lid open next to the piece of water plants...

Qin Ci blocked his ears with some soft aquatic plants.

After a while, the "something" in the aquatic plants seemed to be tired of roaring, and finally stopped.

The music box was not tired, and continued to make the joyful sound of small waves.

Seeing that Zhu Haowen spewed a bubble at himself, Qin Ci patted and listened to it, and found that he could hear it even if he blocked his ears. Could it be that he used another set of senses to listen to the bubble?

Zhu Haowen blistered: "Let's try to dig it out. I always feel that this beast has something to do with us. Maybe this thing is guarding the fragments."

Qin Ciyou came over, and the two of them were going to pull out the aquatic plants first, and then find a way to dig the soil with lobster pliers.

In the process of pulling out the water plants, Qin Ci suddenly found something at the root of the water plants. It was a conch, and this was the only underwater creature seen nearby.

Qin Ci picked up the conch, only to find that it was an empty conch shell, and there seemed to be something inside.

Zhu Haowen also hurried over to take a look, and saw Qin Ci pour out a small cube the size of a bottle of essential oil from a conch shell. Looking carefully, it turned out to be a small cage with...

The two people were so surprised that bubbles popped out at the same time, and when the two bubbles collided, they exclaimed in unison——

"lion!"

Yes, there is a lion in this small cage, a male lion to be precise, but it seems a little tired at the moment, lying silently in the cage.

This lion is only as big as a peanut.

The lion raised his head and looked at the two "giants" in front of him. Instead of panicking, he stood up, shook the lion's mane on his head, opened his mouth wide, and let out a manic roar continuously.

The two people's ears hurt from the shock. Zhu Haowen thought the lion was too noisy, so he put the small cage into the music box and closed the lid.For a moment, the sea is clear and the river is quiet, and everything is silent.

Qin Ci bubbled: "I've never seen such a small lion."

Zhu Haowen bubbled: "Me too, I've never even seen such a small toy lion."

Qin Ci bubbled: "Can you put it in a box?"

Zhu Haowen bubbled: "If it's really a treasure, it won't matter anywhere."

Even though Zhu Haowen said so, he still opened the box, and was completely panicked when he saw it——

The lion is gone.

Qin Ci stared at the empty cage in the box in disbelief, picked it up to have a look, the cage was not locked, not even a cage door, obviously it was a cage that could not be opened.

How did the lion get out?

Where did the lion go?

Zhu Haowen's bubble: "..."

Qin Ci bubbled: "Could it be that this box is a treasure that can turn monsters into thick water?"

Zhu Haowen bubbled: "But, you can't see thick water inside..."

Suddenly there was a lion's roar, which startled the two of them. The sound obviously came from the box, but there was no sign of the lion.

Qin Ci Bubble: "Do you feel that the roar of the lion has merged with the original sound of the waves in the box?"

Zhu Haowen listened carefully, and it was indeed the case. Just now, the sound made by the lion in the water grass was compared with the music box, and there was an obvious difference in distance, but now it seems that the sound has been completely merged into the same "audio".

Really weird.

Zhu Haowen picked up the box in disbelief and looked at it carefully, trying to find clues. Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly showed Qin Ci the surface of the box.

The box itself was engraved with ancient abstract seawater patterns, but at this moment, a new pattern appeared on the side wall of the box——among the seawater patterns, there was an ancient lion pattern!

Because the whole thing was so miraculous, the two of them were speechless for a moment.

Qin Ci pondered for a long time, and slowly spit out a round blister: "In other words, this lion has become the pattern on the box. Can it be compared to this, this box is like a cornucopia, it is collecting its own patterns '?"

Zhu Haowen nodded, agreeing with Qin Ci's statement: "The pattern on the box is a carved painting, so it should be considered a painting. Does what happened to the lion just now count as a kind of painting?"

After Qin Ci heard this, he couldn't spit out the blisters for a long time.

Zhu Haowen Blister: "Maybe I'm dragging the topic too far, let's just talk about the pattern on the box, this lion only occupies a small part of the sea pattern, obviously there are still many places 'empty', which means that there is still a need to other patterns to fill in - as you said, the box is collecting its own 'patterns'."

Qin Ci picked up the box and looked at it carefully: "Have you ever heard of the 'Sea Beast Grape Mirror'?"

Zhu Haowen blistered: "Old Qin, do you still play with antiques?"

Qin Ci Blister: "No, I just happened to see a Tang Dynasty 'Sea Beast Grape Mirror' in the Forbidden City. The pattern of the bronze mirror is very mysterious, and experts call it a 'Mirror of Mysteries'."

Zhu Haowen bubbled: "What kind of mysterious method?"

Qin Ci Bubble: "The grape pattern on the bronze mirror is 'tiled' as a base pattern, and some animal buttons are embossed on it, distributed on top of the grape pattern, all of which are 'sea beasts' with different postures."

"What is a sea beast?"

"That's exactly what I want to say, the sea beast is Suan Ni."

Zhu Haowen was stunned. There is a saying that Suanni is an ancient lion. Another way of saying is that Suanni is a beast that looks like a lion but can eat tigers and leopards. It doesn’t matter whether it is a lion or a suanni. , this box has a certain origin with Qin Ci's "Sea Beast Grape Mirror".

Zhu Haowen bubbled: "Why is Suanni a sea beast? It is obviously a land animal."

Qin Ci Bubble: "Probably because Suan Ni is a species from overseas."

Zhu Haowen looked at this strange box. On the ancient and gorgeous sea water pattern, this leaping lion was particularly eye-catching: "How many lions are there in total on that 'Sea Beast Grape Mirror'?"

Qin Ci spat out an apologetic bubble: "I didn't pay attention to the number, maybe seven or eight? There are also some high-relief birds as decorations on the outermost circle."

Zhu Haowen's bubble: "Is there any meaning to this 'Sea Beast Grape Mirror'?"

Qin Ci bubble: "This pattern of grapes and auspicious animals is said to come from ancient Persia. The foreign trade of the Tang Dynasty was very prosperous. It is very possible to create this overseas auspicious pattern for your own use."

Although Zhu Haowen didn't want to understand the internal connection between this matter and the world of water and fire, he still said: "That is to say, what we have to do now is to find other sea beasts besides the fragments and dragon girls."

Qin Ci bubble: "If all sea beasts exist in this way, it doesn't seem difficult to find them. Just follow the roar of these lions, and you can find them. Moreover, these lions are kept in cages, and they are very large. Small, it doesn't do any harm to us."

However, Zhu Haowen is not optimistic: "I don't think there can be another lion within a radius of several tens of miles. This one lion alone has caused a riot among the potential cattle. Wouldn't there be no peace forever?"

The entire sea surface was suddenly illuminated by a piece of light, which was an orange-red light, very fast and fleeting.

The surface of the sea is illuminated like day in an instant, and at the same time it is extinguished in an instant.

Qin Ci swam up for a certain distance and spewed out a bubble: "I felt like the light just now was like fire."

Zhu Haowen put the box away safely, and also swam up: "Let's go to the sea and have a look."
