never peaceful [unlimited]

In a deep and hidden crack in the rock, Tang Danning and Zhou Dong found the elderly man hiding in the innermost side.

The man was wearing a torn shirt and had a waterproof backpack beside him. He was curled up in the crevice of the stone at the moment, and looked as if he had passed out from a distance.

Tang Danning said in a low voice: "The air here is turbid, maybe he passed out from lack of oxygen, let's move him to a position near the entrance of the rock wall."

Zhou Dong looked at his system interface prompt with satisfaction, indicating that he had found a geologist. He stepped forward to pick up the man, Tang Danning picked up the man's waterproof backpack, and the two quickly led the geologist to the area near the mountain. Location.

The air here is circulated, and the wind with water vapor blows gently. If you just rest here, it is quite comfortable.

Zhou Dong sat cross-legged next to the rock, with one leg drooping naturally. From a distance, he looked like he was sitting on a cliff, but in fact it was almost the same. There was a flat stone less than one meter outside the crack. Zhou Dong found the vision here very good.

There are sharp and steep mountain walls on both sides, and the top of the mountain in front is slightly lower. Following the intersecting gap between the mountains, Zhou Dong can see that the vicinity of the lake where he first landed is already densely packed with translucent monsters.

Zhou Dong made a slight estimate of the location of the lake and the rock wall where the geologist was hiding. He remembered what Tang Danning had muttered before, that everyone's landing location was carefully calculated by the system.

If he hadn't left the lake, entered the forest in the middle of the mountain, smelled Ling Yuanzhi coughing up blood, smelled Tang Danning's breath, and then went down the mountain with the intention of killing Tang Danning, maybe he would be able to wait for a while. Found the geologist hiding in a crack in the rock.

Zhou Dong was a little frustrated, but then he thought, when he met Tang Danning and Fan Qiu, as long as he didn't lose, he was considered a winner. Although Tang Danning succeeded in cheating, Zhou Dong also got Tang Danning's OEM contract!

If you work a little harder and make a prostitution contract before Tang Danning comes to work, wouldn't that make you happy?

Thinking of this, Zhou Dong immediately became happy again, and subconsciously began to imagine the wonderful prospect of Tang Danning having to transfer teams.

Tang Danning didn't know that Zhou Dong was thinking of how to poach Ji Lebin's corner. After he did some basic treatment for the old man, the old man quickly woke up.

After waking up, the old man was a little surprised at first, and then looked warily at Tang Danning, who was sitting with his back against the rock wall, and Zhou Dong, who was standing guard on the rock platform: "You are..."

Tang Danning said in a gentle tone: "We are the rescue team. After your ship was in an accident, Captain Joseph released a distress signal. We rushed over after receiving the signal. We have found Captain Joseph's crew and entered the mountain according to his guidance. Found you."

After Tang Danning explained concisely, he pointed to the heavy rain outside and the translucent monsters constantly surging in the rain: "We were attacked by these monsters after we landed on the island, and the kayaks that were docked were destroyed. The number of monsters increased sharply after we entered , do you have any way to leave?"

Tang Danning did not directly use her abilities, but asked gently. After all, under the influence of abilities, only the questions Tang Danning asked would be given definite answers, so it was easy to lose some clues.

Moreover, this old man is estimated to be the oldest person on the ship. He has survived until now, and he still has good reason and logic skills. It can be seen that the old man must have key information.

The old man smiled wryly after hearing this: "If the problem of this island is not resolved, we will not be able to leave the island."

Tang Danning was just waiting for the other party to say that. Hearing this, he showed a troubled expression: "Then do you know what's going on with this island? What solution do you have?"

The old man introduced himself as Steve, and he was a professor at a certain university, specializing in the study of the crustal movement of the seabed and marine life on the deep seabed.

Steve first explained the origin of the island to Zhou Dong and Tang Danning. The content was similar to what the two had heard from the crew before, but Steve's version was obviously more vivid.

The more Tang Danning listened to it, the more strange it became. The main reason was that what Professor Steve said was too detailed.

He said abruptly, "Have you been here before?"

Steve was silent for a while before he said helplessly: "Anyway, I will need your help in the end. It is useless for me to hide it... Yes, I am the last living Sea Clan."

The moment Steve said these words, Zhou Dong's mission changed from finding a geologist to solving the historical problems left by the Hai Clan.

Zhou Dong's heart sank, he knew that the Goubi system would not issue such a simple task of finding people, and he completely let go of the psychological grudge of being bullied by Tang Danning: Fortunately, he asked Tang Danning to fight on his behalf!

Tang Danning was already mentally prepared. He was shocked at first, and then comforted the other party: "It's not easy to bear all this alone, but you finally came back, you are really amazing."

After hearing this, Steve felt emotional and felt close. He sighed and said, "It's because I was too naughty back then. I lived on a small island more than 50 nautical miles west of the island of tombs. The grandfather of my neighbor passed away. My grandfather passed away. The family of the dead will sail to the island of burials."

"I was young at the time, and I didn't understand what death meant. I heard that the neighbor's grandpa had moved, so I insisted on following him to check the location, thinking that I would visit again later."

"Who would have thought that when I sneaked onto the boat and followed me to the island of tombs, I would be discovered by my grandpa's family. They were very angry and wanted to beat me to death."

"I was taken aback and ran to the island to hide. The family didn't dare to stay on the island of tombs, so they sailed away."

"Later, my family came to the island of burials by boat. They didn't dare to go to the island. They just circled the island from a distance. Drive out the islands that have been inhabited for generations."

"My father beat me up, took my mother and brother, and the whole family left the island and went to the nearest mainland city to seek a living. That was decades ago."

"Not long after we left, I heard that there was a volcano and a tsunami in the place where we used to live. The islands were all gone, and this place became a sea area where ships were prone to accidents. I didn't pay attention at first, but when my father passed away... "

Old man Steve took a deep breath and said solemnly: "His body turned into white gravel."

"My mother went crazy on the spot. My brother told me that this is the curse of the sea people. Even if we leave our hometown, we are still here."

"Afterwards, I concentrated on studying related majors. I wanted to find out the hidden secrets of this island. In fact, before this voyage, I also visited the nearby waters several times."

Steve's expression gradually changed from emotion to seriousness: "Near the seabed around this island, several air pockets have appeared in just a few decades."

Tang Danning followed Steve's tone and asked, "Air pocket? What is that?"

Steve explained in detail: "This is the crack caused by the movement and collision of the earth's plates, and the magma in the center of the earth is rushing out. Because the gap is too narrow, only the boiling heat pours into the sea, just like it is bubbling. small hole."

"The high-temperature water flowing out of the small hole will continue to rise, which will affect the nearby deep-sea creatures. The deep-sea creatures that are used to cold water suddenly encounter hot water will inevitably die. When they start to become extinct on a large scale, it will lead to..."

The old man got stuck here, and muttered in a low voice: "It has caused a fundamental change in the ecology of the seabed in this sea area. I'm sorry, but my teaching habits have changed. In short, once the seabed becomes thinner and brittle due to the impact movement, The gap becomes larger, and the magma gushes out instantly, and there will be a sudden submarine volcanic eruption, which will cause a natural disaster such as a tsunami."

Tang Danning listened very carefully, and nodded accordingly: "Those dozen or so air pockets were formed in the past few decades, could it be related to the disappearance of the Hai Clan people?"

Steve nodded again and again: "Yes, I took a professional oceanography major just to study this. Fortunately, someone has done research on the seabed before. I got some early data, plus decades of scientific research. Tested, and found several reasons for the appearance of transparent monsters."

When Tang Danning heard that it was an in-depth scientific research, he thought of Yue Xiulan's mermaid gene: "Is it the genetic mutation of deep-sea creatures? Or the deterioration of the nearby waters caused by the movement of the earth's crust? The special elements in the earth's crust that have not been discovered by humans have caused humans to become human. monster?"

Steve looked at Tang Danning with admiration in his eyes: "Smart young man, if we can go back alive, you can come to take my doctoral exam."

Tang Danning said modestly, "That's ridiculous."

Here, Tang Danning and Steve were chatting passionately. Zhou Dong, who was sitting outside the gap, was already dizzy. Finally, he gave up listening to the chat content of the two behind him. Transparent monster.

Then he found an existence among those monsters that interested him, it was a little girl in a white dress with long white hair.

Zhou Dong regained his energy immediately.

He observed carefully, the girl was holding a silver ring, surrounded by those translucent monsters, she stepped into the lake, and came out after a long time.

Thanks to the sharp vision brought by the blood of the demon wolf, he saw a black stone in her hand after the girl came out of the lake.

Then the girl's eyes shifted slowly, and she made eye contact with Zhou Donglai.

Even though they were separated by thousands of meters, one was by the lake and the other was on the mountainside of the island's highest peak, but the two clearly captured each other at the same time.

Zhou Dong's eyes unconsciously turned into the vertical pupils of a wolf, and because of the mutual gaze, the pupils almost became a thin line.

He saw it, saw the angry expression on the girl's face.

Immediately, the girl in the white dress and white hair opened her arms, and the silver ring was suspended in front of her in the void. The invisible force field fluctuations gradually spread, and rushed towards the main peak where Zhou Dong was located without any scruples.

Zhou Dong stood up subconsciously. He bared his fangs, and the light blue shield spread out, just blocking the entrance of the cave and protecting Tang Danning and Professor Steve behind him.

However, to Zhou Dong's surprise, when this force field spread to the main peak, apart from being avoided due to touching his shield, the girl's power almost instantly enveloped the entire mountain!

Zhou Dong raised his head abruptly, and he felt that there seemed to be something at the top of the mountain, echoing the girl from afar.

At this moment, Tang Danning's voice sounded from behind: "That's the gravel after the death of the first Kuisha."

Looking sideways, Zhou Dong saw that Tang Danning had already used the contract to put away the geologist named Steve.

Tang Danning handed over the contract containing Steve to Zhou Dong for safekeeping, and he said, "We will divide into two groups, you go and kill the Kuisha mother body, and I will deal with the things on the top of the mountain."

Zhou Dong frowned, and said, "Those translucent monsters cannot be killed."

Tang Danning has a plan in mind: "According to Steve, he studied the fine sand that became after his parents and elder brother died, and also studied the growth environment, biological changes and crustal movement in the nearby sea area, and even used drones to fly to the island area. He took some of the local soil and took it back for research, and he came to a conclusion."

"These sea people eat the mayfly buds released by the Kuisha parent body. After decades of growth, they will become the daughter plants of the Kuisha parent body at the moment of death."

"Kuisha is Steve's parental name for this daughter strain."

"As long as you kill the Kuisha mother body, those monsters will disappear, and the mission is completely completed."
