I can't play this game

"Okay, since it's not Yin soldiers, they happen to open the way ahead, and we will follow behind. We should be able to reach that stone bridge soon."

The four of them walked out of the house and walked on the rough stone road beside the river, followed by the phantoms of more than a dozen mermaid soldiers in the river beside them.

Ji Hanxin said to let the Yin soldiers open the way ahead. I guess who has tried it in reality, it can be said that it is very popular.

Looking at these soldiers swimming in the river with weapons, Song Qian asked:

"These mermaids are still fully armed. Could it be that they killed all the island residents who came down?"

Eggplant shook his head and said:

"Who knows where the residents and mermaids have gone? But I'm more curious about how they made those weapons? This is in the water, even if there is iron ore in the sea, there is no fire."

These words reminded Ji Han.

Since obtaining and making weapons here is very difficult, why did they have to do it?Moreover, the metal weapons that are produced are almost unmanufactured. With such a small number of people, they will not kill each other.

If you need to catch fish, just go back to the top.

Fending off monsters like the devil anglerfish or corpse jellyfish you just met?

It doesn't seem necessary, they just need to adjust the amount of water here.

Most importantly, they did not patrol around the water wall or the house, but followed the blue river, as if they were afraid that someone would steal the river.

Before thinking through these problems, the four of them turned a corner along the river.

At this time, there was no shelter from the houses, and everyone saw two new buildings appearing on both sides of the river.

Compared with the surrounding houses, those two buildings are like two huge warehouses, and the whole house is much higher than the surrounding houses.

Even the doorway is built on steps more than one meter high, isolating the sea water below.

Eggplant pointed to the house by the river in front and said:

"See? This is definitely a riverside villa in the past. It's either the home of the island owner who is a survivor of the island, or the home of the island owner's mother-in-law. Otherwise, there will never be such treatment? Let's go and beat the local tyrants."

The house that Ji Han looked at also caught his eye, not because he was interested in the building itself, but according to what Eggplant said, there must be something in it.

The so-called thieves, bah, the so-called gamers never return empty-handed, and they haven't picked up anything during this trip, and the little money rewards for killing monsters alone are not as much as they get from reimbursement from the alien guards.

Thinking about it, he agreed:

"That's right, go and have a look, in case you find anything."

Chen Ke asked:

"Don't you need to follow those Yin soldiers?"

"Whether you follow or not, you can walk along this river. Don't worry, go over and have a look first. What if the divine pillar is hidden in the house?"

After talking about the eggplant, he gave Ji Han a wink, and the two walked slowly towards the big house by the river, Song Qian and Chen Ke also followed behind with weapons.

Now that the devil anglerfish was playing fairy dance, Eggplant was much more cautious.

The four of them slowly walked up the stone steps, out of the sea less than one meter deep, a stone door was half-opened, everyone listened, and there was indeed no movement inside.

Only then did Eggplant make a "321" gesture, then quickly stepped forward and pushed the Shimen away.

As soon as it was opened, everyone felt a heat wave rushing towards their faces, and they could vaguely see a red light.

Ji Han thought there was some dangerous monster hiding again, so he hurriedly grabbed the eggplant.

But when the light of the flashlight shone in, it was discovered that there was no living thing hidden in this room.

It's just that there is a small wellhead made of stones in the center of this room.

There is also a beam of fiery red light emitting from the mouth of the well.

Chapter 158 The Undersea Fire Is Not Extinguishable

After looking around the house, everyone was relieved that there was no monster hiding.

The house by the river is different from the other houses below.

Not to mention the unusual warmth inside the house, there are not even any living facilities built here, not even the simplest stone bed, and there is a big hole in the roof.

The ground on one side of the house is full of stones, and the simple stone table on the other side is piled with rusty and tattered cold weapons.

And in the center of the house, a small stone well was built with stones. The mouth of the well is only [-] to [-] centimeters, but the stone platform is still very wide.

A fiery red light emitted from Ishii's mouth.

Everyone leaned over to take a look, and the feeling of being roasted came over instantly, and Eggplant threw the sea water on his body towards Xiaoshijingtai.

The water droplets fell on it, making a "squeaky" sound, and evaporated in an instant.

Ji Han skipped over the mouth of the well, only saw a dazzling red light below, and felt his face was suddenly scalded.

Eggplant asked:

"Ji Han, do you see what it is?"

Ji Han shook his head and said:

"It's too hot. I can only see the dazzling red light below. It's probably either magma or burning underground natural gas."

Chen Ke said in surprise:

"The color seems to be underground magma. There may be an active volcano underneath, but it's so close, and it hasn't been extinguished after a thousand years. It's unimaginable that the fire on the bottom of the sea can't be extinguished for a thousand years."

Song Qian picked up a stone beside her and said:

"It seems that they used the temperature of underground magma to forge metal weapons. These iron ores should be dug from nearby."

Eggplant drew the weapons forged by the islanders on the table and said:

"It's all broken copper and iron. If you need craftsmanship, you don't have craftsmanship, and you don't need level. Except for tetanus, it's useless. I thought I could get two treasures."

Ji Han didn't give up, and even scanned it again, but it was indeed like what Eggplant said, it was just a pile of scrap iron.

Can't help but also complain:

"These islanders are too belligerent, guarding such a volcano to make weapons, why don't you even pick some pearls?"

Chen Ke approached Xiaoshijing Road:

"No matter what, at least I can warm up to the fire. I will freeze to death after staying in the sea water for so long."

Everyone leaned over to keep warm.

Song Qian said:

"I guess, it is also when they can come to the bottom of the sea, which means that they are not warlike people. Why do they make weapons? Could it be that after the island residents arrived here, they were attacked by the mermaids below. They forged weapons for self-protection. In order to defeat the mermaid, but lost in the end?"

Ji Han considered Song Qian's guess, and replied:

"What you said is somewhat reasonable, but why don't the island residents here go back directly with the power of the divine pillar? And looking at the scale of the house construction, they don't seem to be defeated by anything."

At this time, Chen Ke, who was leaning against Xiaoishi and facing the wall, suddenly stood up and said:

"Hey, look here, there seems to be something."

As he spoke, he wiped the wall closest to Xiaoshijing with his clothes.

That wall was probably covered with black dust because it was the closest to the small stone well stone platform where the iron was forged.

However, a piece of the edge was accidentally rubbed off by someone, revealing a part of the pattern below.

It seemed that something should be restrained on that wall, but it was covered up.

Everyone helped Chen Ke wipe off the thick layer of black dust on the top, finally revealing the true colors of the wall.

It was another stick figure carved on the stone, and there were as many as there were on the island temple.

There are still six paintings from top to bottom.

This time, there are not only paintings, but also a few small characters seem to be engraved on the last picture. Although I can’t tell where the language is, at a cursory glance, it looks a bit like the ancient characters seen on the walls of the catacombs in Crescent Spring Heishi Mountain. .

However, the distance between the two places is more than one hundred and eight thousand miles, Ji Han probably has nothing to do with it, it's just that the pictographs of the original characters are relatively similar.

The first painting seems to depict the scene when the islanders had just arrived here. It only painted a huge bowl-like space with a river passing through the middle and several small volcanoes around it.

Ji Han nodded and said:

"It seems that when the residents of the island arrived here, the river was already here."

The scene in the second painting is exactly the same as the previous one, the only difference is that the residents of the island are all worshiping the river.

Eggplant asked:

"Have these islanders never seen the river? They shouldn't be worshiping, right?"

Chen Ke continued:

"Maybe it's because the river is glowing blue. After all, it's the first time I've seen this kind of river. They thought it was a miracle?"

Ji Han shook his head and said:

"It shouldn't be that simple. Look at the third picture."

In the third stone painting, the island residents have already started building houses around, and it seems that they have decided to settle here.

Pointing to the third painting, Ji Han continued:

"If you just found a luminous river, it is obviously unreasonable to bring the whole island to live next to it. Living here lacks sunshine and food, and they will not live long. The ancients should not be so stupid. Kind of place."

The three nodded, and they all agreed with Ji Han's statement that this river must not be as simple as they thought.

Everyone is looking at the fourth painting. This scene is basically the same as the third one. The only difference is that the residents in the painting have all become mermaids.

Eggplant scolded:

"After they built their house, the magpie's nest was taken over by the mermaid dove?"

Song Qian shook her head and said:

"No, if there is a dispute with the mermaid, it will definitely be drawn, and this is too peaceful, it seems to be, it seems to be..."

"It's as if the inhabitants of the island have turned into mermaids."

Ji Han said what Song Qian wanted to say.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone frowned, although the idea was a bit unbelievable.

It can be seen that the scenes and residents in the third and fourth paintings are almost exactly the same, but the bodies have turned into fishes. It seems that this is indeed the most reasonable explanation at present.

After seeing the fifth painting, compared with the previous one, the obvious change is that there are more houses and a platform has been built. It seems that the scale of the island residents has expanded.

Chen Ke concluded:

"It seems that after the residents of the island live here, their living standards have improved significantly. I really can't figure out how they did it."

Eggplant suggested:

"It's not just that there are more houses, you see, in the fifth painting, the river has also narrowed."

Sure enough, as Eggplant said, comparing top to bottom, the river in the fifth painting is narrower than the first four, and the eyes of Eggplant are indeed poisonous.

It stands to reason that the artist can reproduce two basically identical scenes, and should not inadvertently create such a large gap in the thickness of the river. In other words, the narrowing of the river is also the message they want to convey.

Next is the last painting.

When seeing this painting, the expressions of the four people changed.

In the last painting, the river becomes narrower than before, and the mermaid residents on the bottom of the sea are fleeing, and a huge "hand" protrudes from the water wall at the end of the river.

Chapter 159 The Devil in the Smoke

In the final sixth painting, the river becomes narrower than before, and the mermaid inhabitants of the bottom of the sea are fleeing, and from behind the water wall at the end of the river, a huge "hand" stretches out.

In fact, it is really inappropriate to say that it is a hand, because it is too big.

Just judging from the stone murals, it's not that big, but if you compare it with those buildings and mermaids, it's too big and exaggerated.

To be precise, it was five long and thick giants protruding from behind the falling water wall of the river.

From this angle, it looks like a big hand.

The four of them stared blankly at the giant hand.

Chen Ke said:

"Even Dijia, he doesn't have such a big hand, right? Brother Ji, isn't this really an ancient god under the sea?"
