Ancient Invasion [End Times]

On the 110th day after the invasion·【First update】On the underwater "river bed", there are clusters of flaming red flowers blooming

If there were other choices, Cheng Sheng would never choose to jump into a puddle of unknown circumstances.

But the fact is that they know very little about miasma, let alone the existence of Miasma Mother, which is only mentioned in a few strokes in ancient books.

Duan Yi's description only made them feel the terror of Miasma Mother more closely.

Duan Yi and Lin Qian used the sticks at hand and the vines that were everywhere nearby to test the depth of the pool and the biological activity inside.

The miasma mother was only 30 meters away from them. When the distance was shortened to ten meters, they had to prepare to enter the water.

Several people hurry up, the first thing to ensure is whether there are any ferocious creatures such as swamp crocodiles and piranhas in this pool.

Fortunately, this pool is so clean that there are only a few common freshwater fish, and the size is only normal freshwater fish.

These are extremely normal environmental conditions on weekdays, but now, they seem somewhat weird.

But no matter what, the pool in front of them is clean and safe, except that the water quality is undrinkable, and it carries a large number of parasites and mosquito larvae.

Now that the miasma mother is approaching, they have no more choices until they can't drive and solve the miasma mother more effectively.

Duan Yi glanced at the miasma mother of the light group approaching, turned to Cheng Sheng and the others, and said in a deep voice: "I'll go down first to confirm the situation. I will come down after I order you."

"Got it." Lin Qian and Xu Ying replied.

Duan Yi took a deep breath and jumped into the pond.

At first glance, the pond is indeed small, smaller than half the size of a common swimming pool, but I didn't expect it to be three to four meters deep.

In a pond of this size, if there were any large and ferocious creatures hiding, it would be easy to spot.

Duan Yi dived into the bottom of the water in one breath, and found nothing except for some well-grown aquatic plants.

Seeing this, Duan Yi floated to the surface of the water, took a breath, and said to Cheng Sheng and the others: "It's safe underwater."

Cheng Sheng nodded slightly, and he looked at the group of Miasma mothers, and it took Duan Yi to go around the bottom of the water, and the distance was shortened by nearly five meters.

A group of people waited silently for Miasma Mother to approach, and this mood was a bit like waiting for the death penalty.

Du Nanrong asked in a low voice: "Tell me, what if when we jump in, this miasma mother wanders over and stops on the surface of the water, what if we can't hold our breath?"

"The world is so big, is there nothing that can defeat miasma mother?" Lin Qian sighed.

Cheng Sheng looked at Lin Qian suddenly, and Lin Qian thought he had said something wrong.

"What's wrong, doctor?" Xu Ying asked.

"There are often old people who say that within a hundred steps, there must be an antidote. Although there is no scientific basis for this, and it is not necessarily true, there is one point for reference." Cheng Sheng said, "Within a hundred steps, the It is within a hundred steps of the poison."

"This can be extended to another point, all things in the world are born and restrained by each other." Cheng Sheng said, he looked at Lin Qian, "What Lin Qian said makes sense..."

Where there are miasma mothers, there will naturally be the existence of suppressing miasma mothers nearby. To explain it macroscopically, it is the balance of natural ecology.

If there is nothing to suppress such a dangerous thing as miasma mother, the balance would have been broken long ago, so why are few people encountering it until now.

Besides the miasma, the existence of miasma also guarantees the survival of highly poisonous creatures and protects the integrity and reproduction of biological species.

This is a natural self-balance, and Cheng Sheng suddenly realized it like a revelation.

Lin Qian and the others were a little dazed, even Lin Qian himself didn't know why he was praised by the doctor.

"What did I say makes sense...?" Lin Qian looked at Xu Ying and Du Nanrong in bewilderment, never expecting that he just complained casually and was caught by the doctor.

Xu Ying ignored him, and Du Nanrong shrugged helplessly.

Cheng Sheng looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the unusually clean pool in front of him.

"In this miasma forest, only this pool is so clean that it doesn't look like it exists in miasma." Cheng Sheng said.

He looked at Duan Yi and said firmly: "In this pool, there must be something that can purify the miasma, or in other words resist the encroachment of the miasma."

Duan Yi frowned slightly, recalling what he saw in the pool, and said: "There are almost no living things in the pool, only a few clumps of aquatic plants, could it be those aquatic plants?"

Cheng Sheng pursed his lips slightly: "I want to go down and have a look."

He quickly glanced at the distance between Miasma Mother and them, it was about twenty meters away, and he had to hurry up.

"I'll go down with you." Duan Yi said after hearing the words.

The two looked at each other and jumped into the water together in a tacit understanding.

The temperature of the pool is so cold that it is in sharp contrast to the humid and hot environment during the day.

Cheng Sheng and Duan Yi gestured to each other underwater, and then Cheng Sheng clearly followed Duan Yi and dived to the bottom in one breath.

The aquatic plants under the water were growing densely. Cheng Sheng glanced at them and found that most of them were common aquatic plants such as bitter grass and elephant ears, and there was nothing unusual about them.

Cheng Sheng was a little disappointed.

Duan Yi gestured to Cheng Sheng to continue walking with him.

Duan Yi and Cheng Sheng swam to the other side of the water.

There, on the rough sandy river bed, there are more than a dozen clumps of flowers that are as hot as flames. The petals are as slender as the leaves of water plants, but they have stamens and styles, which are very beautiful.

This is a rare scene under the water.

In the vast amount of reading that Cheng Sheng has accumulated, he has never seen such aquatic plants.

As soon as his eyes lit up, he immediately gestured towards Duan Yi and signaled to float up.

The two quickly emerged from the water.

Lin Qian, Du Nanrong and the others quickly surrounded them, and asked expectantly, "Doctor, Team Duan, have you found anything?"

Cheng Sheng nodded slightly: "I found a plant that has not been recorded in detail so far. Perhaps the reason why the pond here is not corroded by miasma is related to those plants."

"Great!" Du Nanrong clenched his fist, "Then what should we do?"

"I will go down with Duan Yi to take plant samples. If we can make it in time, maybe we can do some tests." Cheng Sheng said, looking at Miasma Mother in the distance.

He didn't say much anymore, just exchanged a glance with Duan Yi, and dived directly.

Duan Yi nodded slightly, then turned to Lin Qian and the others and said, "If Miasma Mother approaches within five meters, you must first enter the water to avoid it."

"Understood, Team Duan!"

Duan Yi responded, took a deep breath, and quickly followed Cheng Sheng.

The two swam to the vicinity of the pile of fiery red flowers familiarly.

Cheng Sheng took out the claw knife that Duan Yi had made for him earlier, and dug the soil deeply against the root.

Cheng Sheng tried to connect the roots and pull out the clump of fiery red flowers from the mud of the river bed as much as possible.

But to his surprise, this clump of fiery red flowers seemed to have taken root extremely deep. Cheng Sheng and Duan Yi dug together deeply, but they didn't find a place where they took root for a while.

Cheng Sheng's oxygen was not enough, Duan Yi patted the back of his hand lightly, pointed upwards, the two of them floated up at the same time, came out of the water, and took a breath.

"How is it?" Lin Qian and his party, who were lying on the water's edge, asked.

"Still pulling out." Duan Yi said, and after taking a sigh of relief with Cheng Sheng, the two dived back to the bottom.

A group of people lying on the water's edge looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Still pulling out? Two people pulling it out for a long time...how deep does it have to be rooted?" Du Nanrong muttered.

Cheng Sheng and Duan Yi under the water were also puzzled.

Generally, the roots of aquatic plants are not as developed as those of land plants. They do not need a well-developed root system to support their bodies. According to the digging progress of him and Duan Yi, they should have dug to the roots long ago...

Cheng Sheng and Duan Yiyong shoveled down, and they didn't know if the shovel was too deep and too hard, as if they touched something, they felt the river bed under their feet tremble suddenly.

The two looked at each other, and in unison, they floated up a little distance, widening the distance from the river bed under their feet.

Seeing that the part under their feet, which they had always regarded as the river bed, began to shake, the surrounding water plants also shook violently, and the stones covered with algae began to collapse, completely looking like an underwater earthquake.

Cheng Sheng's pupils shrank slightly, Duan Yi pulled him, and when the two were about to float up, Cheng Sheng suddenly pulled Duan Yi again, and quickly pointed to the water.

Under the extremely chaotic water, the river bed was raised, accompanied by faint and ethereal mooing, like the sound of a whale in the sea.

Duan Yi and Cheng Sheng forgot what they were going to do for a while, and saw that under their feet, where they were standing before, where clusters of fiery red flowers grew, a pair of gray fish fins stretched out from both sides .

No one expected that what they thought was the river bed was actually the spine of a big fish!

Duan Yi and Cheng Sheng felt a chill at the same time.

I saw the big fish slowly turning in one direction, and just a small movement stirred up the algae and mud under the water.

Cheng Sheng pulled Duan Yi, indicating to float up.

The two quickly emerged from the water, spitting out a mouthful of choked water, both in a bit of a panic.

Lin Qian and Du Nanrong looked at each other blankly - what's wrong?It looked like it was being chased by that arapaima.

"Are you all right?" Du Nanrong asked, and together with Lin Qian pulled the doctor and Duan Yi up.

"What kind of flower are you talking about? Didn't you get it? The Miasma Mother is much closer, and we have to go down anytime." Zhang Jiuzhang said.

Cheng Sheng coughed twice more, and without answering, Duan Yi said, "There are..."

Before he could finish his words, the others saw the water surface behind Duan Yi and Cheng Sheng suddenly arouse huge waves——

A huge ancient creature that looked like a mosasaur jumped into the sky.

Lin Qian and his party stared at the big guy dumbfounded, and saw clusters of bright, fiery red flowers growing on its back, just like what Cheng Sheng said earlier.

"Are you plucking flowers from its back...?" Lin Qian asked dully.

Cheng Sheng and Duan Yi glanced at each other. They spent more than half of their energy going back and forth underwater, and they didn't bother to talk to Lin Qian anymore.

"What is this..." Du Nanrong opened his mouth wide open.

Everyone thought that the big fish that looked like a mosasaur would fall back into the water, but they didn't expect it to jump out of the water, revealing its four stubby legs that had almost degenerated.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, it slowly moved in the direction of Miasma Mother.
