Chapter 15 The Giant of Longbo Kingdom
Wang Lei smiled and said, "Of course I feel at ease with you. If you weren't here, we wouldn't dare to come to such a place."
During his several scientific expeditions, Sun Tao brought people to protect him. After experiencing life and death, he believed in the ability of Sun Tao and others.
While listening to them talking, Xiao Ling looked into the distance. The distant sea area was dark and the black mountains above could not be seen. It was also dark and dark. The sky was as dark as ink. This world was absolutely abnormal. The only thing that made him a little relieved was that he had not found a pale big hand for the time being.
Pang Yan on the other side was pestering Hu Shengzhe and asking about the mythological story.
"Professor Hu, you haven't said that there are two other sacred mountains, why did it sink to the North Pole and why are the remaining three sacred mountains okay?"
Hu Shengzhe smiled and said, "This is because these five sacred mountains have no foundation. They float on the vast ocean. Once they encounter wind and waves, they will drift unstable. It is said that the Emperor of Heaven in the sky knows this reason and is worried that these sacred mountains will drift to the horizon and cause the residents of the sacred mountains to lose their place. So he sent the God of North Sea Yuqiang to drive the five giant solemns to carry the five sacred mountains on their backs to stabilize the sacred mountains."
"Legendly, these five divine turtles are as big as mountains, with a body like a turtle, but have a head like a fish and a bird-like wing, and carry five sacred mountains all year round..."
As soon as Hu Shengzhe said this, Wang Lei suddenly said, "Wait!"
Hu Shengzhe was interrupted by him, a little displeased, and said, "Old Wang, why are you talking about it?"
Wang Lei said: "You say that these five legendary giant turtles, although they are turtles, have fish heads and bird wings?"
Hu Shengzhe nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Wang Lei murmured: "Have you forgotten the unknown monster that just attacked the Exploration Number? I have thought about all kinds of ancient books in the ancient pre-Qin period, but there is no record of it. I don't know what an ancient alien species it is, but your legendary giant turtle sounds a bit like it now."
Hu Shengzhe was stunned when he heard what he said.
Wang Lei looked at Sun Tao and said, "What exactly is the monster that attacked the 'Exploration'? Which of you can see the most clearly?"
Sun Tao pondered: "The head is like a huge octopus, and there are a large number of tentacles under it. At that time, it was climbing outside the boat. It couldn't see it completely clearly. It only knew that there was a pair of huge wings behind it, which looked a bit like bat wings when it spread out."
Xiao Ling nodded slightly, and Sun Tao described it as similar to what he saw, so he did not add it.
Wang Lei said: "Everyone, let's compare this monster with the legendary giant turtle, fish head and bird wings that Lao Hu just mentioned. Can we understand it as octopus head and bat wings? Maybe this monster just now is the legendary giant turtle."
Hu Shengzhe laughed: "What I am talking about is just myths and legends, how can I take it seriously? There is no such giant turtle carrying the sacred mountain in this world."
Wang Lei looked solemn and said, "In the mythology and legend, there are three sacred mountains left in Guixu. Now we have really discovered three black mountains. How do we explain this?"
Hu Shengzhe was silent.
The argument between Wang Lei and Hu Shengzhe attracted the attention of others and they all looked at them.
Xiao Ling said: "This is reasonable. Myths and legends sometimes evolved based on certain facts. Maybe there are exaggerated elements in it, but there may be prototypes. There are three black mountains here. The mythology is rendered as a sacred mountain. Then it is not impossible if the ancients discovered this monster and portrayed it as a giant turtle."
Hu Shengzhe's face changed a little, and said, "If this is true, then the situation will be a little bad."
Wang Lei knocked on the pipe and said, "Why do you say that?"
Hu Shengzhe said: "According to legend, after these five sacred mountains were stabilized, giants from Longbo Kingdom were ready to move and invaded Guixu. There is a record in the ancient book "Hetu Jade Edition" that says that "the Longbo Kingdom is thirty feet long and died after 18,000 years of birth." The Longbo Kingdom giant took a few steps to the edge of the sacred mountain, put down the hook, and caught two divine turtles in one go. The Emperor of Heaven was very furious when he learned about it. He drove the Longbo Kingdom to a dangerous place, and greatly shortened the huge body of the Longbo Kingdom. But even so, in the era of Fuxi and Shennong, the torso of the Longbo Kingdom was several feet high."
"The two sacred turtles that were fished were also put back to Guixu. Unfortunately, they were one step late. The 'Daiyu' and 'Yuanqiao' among the five sacred mountains had already drifted to the North Pole and sank into the vast ocean. In the end, only three sacred mountains remained. Although the two sacred turtles had no mountains to carry, they were still left in Guixu to rotate other sacred turtles in the future."
When everyone heard this, they finally understood why Hu Shengzhe said that the situation was a little bad.
Yu Tingting said: "Professor Hu, what do you mean is that if the monster that destroyed the 'Exploration' just now is really the legendary divine aura, then it is one of the two divine auras released later? So there should be two such monsters in this sea area. Now one is dead, and one should be left."
Hu Shengzhe nodded, his face looking a little ugly.
Everyone looked at each other.
"But this is just an ancient myth after all. Nothingness and ethereality may not be much authenticity, and we don't need to be too nervous. If there was really another monster like this, it would have appeared long ago if we wanted to kill us. But we arrived at Black Mountain on a lifeboat, but we didn't see it appear. Maybe there was only one monster like this in this sea area." Hu Shengzhe said to comfort everyone and himself.
Yu Tingting suddenly said: "Maybe it went to chase another lifeboat first, so it has not been able to catch up with us."
As soon as Yu Tingting said, several people changed their faces. Li Zhibao coughed lightly and said, "Xiao Yu, don't talk nonsense."
Yu Tingting knew something was wrong as soon as she said that, and couldn't help but stick out her tongue at him, not daring to say more.
But after she finished speaking, the atmosphere became depressed.
"Let's go, it's time to set off, climb this Black Mountain to see, hoping to discover something." Zhou Kesheng, who had been listening quietly, finally spoke, breaking this depressing silence.
This time, the forces behind Zhou Kesheng reorganized the scientific expedition team and gave strong support. They attached great importance to the scientific expedition on Guixu, and even believed that it might be directly related to the truth of some events.
Now that the "Exploration" has been destroyed, Captain Cao Zhiren and others left on a lifeboat to look for rescue, no one knows what the situation is. Many places in this sea area are very abnormal. Everyone has no idea whether Cao Zhiren and his party can leave safely, and they cannot sit and wait for rescue. They all hope to find something.
