Chapter 50 Corpses at the Bottom of the Sea

In a position where the ship was almost impossible to appear, a shipwreck was suddenly discovered, especially in such a sensitive position, with Catherine's previous guess first. The reason behind this may be hidden, which made the five people silent.

"You guys say, have you ever found this wreck when Doris and the others investigated?" Catherine stood on the corpse of the deep-sea beast, looking at the blurry black shadow not far away and said: "I remember Badia accidentally mentioned that Doris had explored all the places under the sea, so she suggested that we go to the middle islands to find it. Since that's the case, I think she shouldn't let it go."

"So Doris herself hasn't mentioned this." Panis nodded, "I'm afraid we'll miss this clue."

"But why didn't she tell us directly?" Catherine raised her own question in confusion: "If she told us directly, with a goal, we should be able to get faster without having to search aimlessly like now, and a lot of time has been wasted."

"Go down." Panis shook his head and said that he could not answer: "Go to the shipwreck first to see if there is any clue."

Several people began to climb down along the skull of the giant corpse. It was much easier to descend than climb upwards. No matter how high they were, they just needed to look at the right position and jump downward. When they were about to land, they switched the amphibious beads from walking mode to diving mode. Using the resistance of the sea water, they could easily resolve the impact of the falling. The five people were agile as if they were transformed into rock wall beasts. They jumped down at high speed from a skull that was more than 400 meters high.

"Wait." As a crystal gunman, Freya has a very keen momentary vision and seems to have discovered something in the middle of the fall. But she didn't have time to say anything when she fell at high speed. As soon as she landed, she said anxiously: "I seemed to see something when I got down, in the mouth of this giant beast."

"Are you sure?" Catherine landed lightly with the splash, turned around and asked, "It's so dark inside..."

"I'm not sure," Freya said, "but since it's been delayed a lot of time, it's not bad for these few minutes. It's not bad for you to read carefully."

"Then let's go up and take a look." Catherine illuminated the light behind her, stretched her body and started to swim upstream again. Because the skeleton slope of the head is relatively steep, it is very convenient to swim upstream in a straight line, and it doesn't even take too much effort to use the buoyancy of the sea water. She quickly swam to the mouth of the giant beast and slid it on her teeth and looked inward.

The space in the mouth of the giant beast is very large. Due to the cover of algae and mud above, the entire mouth is like an underwater cave. It is pitch black without any light. Lying on the outside of the mouth, even if the crystal illuminator has been adjusted to the maximum, the extended light column still cannot shine on the bones on both sides. All I saw in front of me was a dark space. But Freya's eyes lit up and pointed to the front and said, "Look at it, I'm sure I'm not wrong."

Following the position Freya pointed, at the location seventy or eighty meters away from the giant beast's mouth, there was a white thing half buried in the mud and sand below. Although I couldn't see clearly what it was. However, relying on experience, the few people had a preliminary judgment in their hearts, exchanged surprise glances with each other, and walked over carefully slowly.

The water surged. From the depths of the darkness, three long monsters suddenly emerged. The monster was headed with a sharp spear, quickly tearing open the sea water and launching a fearless attack on the invaders who invaded their homes. Catherine frowned. Although she did not have any armor on her body, the magic steel shield was still on her body. At this time, the shield pushed forward three times in a row. The magic beast headed on the spear above the magic beast. The monster with the golden initial level obviously could not pose any threat to the legendary level Catherine, or even could not shake her who was already prepared. The result of the impact was that the three spears of magic beasts broke, and she was also confused and circled in the sea water in a daze.

"It seems you have to be careful about the monsters that are around you." Vivian took a few steps forward, and his staff was on the monsters that were still spinning in circles at one time. The heads of the three monsters were immediately completely frozen, losing control of their heads, and their twisted body became stiff and fell straight to the ground.

The girls searched carefully with the lights up and down, left and right, and confirmed that no other monsters were hidden in the darkness. Then they came to the target. As expected, just like everyone's pre-judgment, they saw a white corpse in front of them. The body was half buried under the soil, and only the upper body was exposed outside. They looked human-shaped and covered with seaweed. If they didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to find that this was a pile of bones.

"The body of the victim?" Lina asked in a low voice: "Have you died here after escaping from the boat?"

"Irregularly, the first thing you do when you escape is always going upward. No matter how seriously injured you are, you can't want to hide in the deep sea nearby." Catherine said: "And don't forget, this is the deep sea, how strong is the water pressure? If there is no amphibious bead, who can stay here for a long time?"

"That's trouble." Lina shook her head and said, "Dig it out and take a closer look."

Five people gathered around the corpse and began to dig with bare hands. The mud and sand at the bottom of the sea were not soft. The heavy water pressure made each layer of the mud and sand very strong. Although the surface was soaked in water, it looked soft, but the inside was quite hard and stubborn. Fortunately, several of them were high-level professions, and their physical fitness was far superior to that of normal people. Even if they did not rely on any tools, they dug out the rough outline of the corpse in a short time. Halfway through digging, the girls sighed secretly in their hearts. The corpse in front of them was not a human, but a sea clan. Its upper body was exactly the same as that of humans, but its lower half, only a long vertebrae extending downward from the spine, and to the end of the limbs.

"Mermaid." Catherine smiled bitterly and moaned, saying, "Why did this mermaid die here? Was it eaten by a giant beast?"

"Impossible." Panis shook his head and said, "Theoretically, any sea clan has the possibility of being swallowed by giant beasts, but mermaids do not, because they are the race closest to gods under the sea, and even if the sea beasts lose their minds, they will not attack them."

"That's interesting." Catherine stroked the remains and said, "From the texture, the time between the two deaths is not very different, no more than three hundred years at most. I can't think of any situation that will make a mermaid die in the mouth of a giant beast."

"I'm afraid I can only guess that she and this giant beast died at the same time." Vivian said: "And according to what Panis said, the relationship between the two is not hostile. Well, could they be fighting side by side?"

"Fight side by side? Who will fight?" Freya suddenly pointed her eyes at the direction of the shipwreck outside the giant beast's body: "It's not impossible to be with the enemy in the shipwreck, but is there really a creature that can defeat such a huge monster at the bottom of the sea? Panis, can you do it if it were?"

"I can't guarantee it." Panis shook his head and said, "It can only be said that there is a chance of winning in theory, but based on his own words, the chance is really not high."

"Her fatal injuries were in her abdomen," said Catherine. "Look, the three broken ribs inwardly on one side of her ribs should be a heavy force that directly hits here. Not only did it break the ribs, but it completely destroyed her internal organs and made her lose her vitality."

Several people dug up the mermaids' dead location, but found nothing but the corpse. Catherine pointed to the mermaid's corpse and thought: "One day in the past, she was driving this huge sea beast and fighting an unidentified enemy. During the battle, the two of them successfully pulled each other's ship to the bottom of the sea, but there were also very powerful warriors on the other's ship, and they died under the counterattack of those people."

"It's very reasonable." Panis nodded, "It's just that there is no evidence to support it, and it can only be a guess out of thin air."

"Maybe it's not that there is no evidence. I really want to find evidence." Vivian had already run to a position more than 30 meters away at some point, looked down at the ground and said, "Look, this should be the skull of a human."

Not far from Vivian's feet, an arc-shaped bone structure protruded from the ground, slightly higher than the surrounding sludge, which was very concealed. When I wanted to pick it up, I realized that this bone structure was not just myself, but buried under the mud with other bones. Digging out the surrounding mud and appearing in front of the five people was very familiar. Every time I ventured around, I could see something - a skull, and, from the perspective of the characteristics of the bones, I was a normal human male.

"Stay digging." The girls were silent for a while, and Catherine sighed and said, "It's already to this point. Let's figure out what's going on."

The excavation of the second corpse is much more difficult than the first one, not only because it is much deeper than the first corpse being covered with mud and sand, but also because of the posture of the two. The mermaid's corpse is lying peacefully, as if it is silently accepting death, but the second corpse looks upright, and the movements of the limbs are relatively distorted, as if it is very painful before death.
