Chapter 402: Digging three feet underground!
Hundreds of thousands of big fish were distributed in the waters of Xiangyi, and they formed a long net in Liangqu's sea of consciousness, repeatedly "fishing" from shallow to deep, from near to far.
Wherever there was a discovery, the nodes of the big net would ripple with subtle fluctuations.
In three days, Liangqu received no less than a dozen similar fluctuations, but he did not catch anything, and was happy for nothing.
Ordinary small fish have limited cognition, and they were all false reports and misreports in three days, wasting a lot of energy.
So much so that Liangqu doubted whether it was reliable to rely on small fish to find the mermaid settlement, or whether the old giant clam was dumb before it was old, giving him false information?
In any case, he had to go.
The vast and peaceful swamp was like a meteor passing through the sky, suddenly pulling out a long white water belt.
The river crabs waving their claws to court were startled, crawling on all fours and shrinking into the cave. Before they could block the cave entrance, the shocking phenomenon disappeared without a trace.
The crab shook its eyestalks and clamped the floating water plants, forgetting why it was hiding.
After a few breaths.
Wow
The white steam dissipated, revealing a human figure.
In the water plants, the fathead fish swayed its tail, concentrating on responding to the divine light in its mind, but it didn't know that the supreme divine light had already arrived.
Liang Qu looked down.
What came into view was a bottomless gully. With just one glance, he released all the control of the fish.
The large net composed of hundreds of thousands of fish collapsed.
The fathead fish, who regained his freedom, stood still for a moment, and was shocked to find someone around him, and fled with his tail.
"It's not easy."
Liang Qu's eyes flickered, and he looked around.
Crossing an underwater ridge, in the gully, an ancient settlement unfolded like a scroll.
After decades of water erosion, most of the houses in the settlement turned into ruins, and the broken walls fell into the deep gully. Only a few scattered houses stood stubbornly, showing the status of the former residents.
The houses are connected, and the still intact and raised rooftops are covered with iron-black tiles, which are engraved with cirrus clouds and waves. Between the eaves, there are translucent broken silks hanging, which rise and fall silently in the water.
From the patterns on the tiles, it is not difficult to see the prosperity of the settlement. Only by escaping from the hardship of survival can we focus on artistic creation and pursue beauty.
Liang Qu picked up a tile and knocked it.
A crisp vibrato spread.
Metal.
Rich.
It is extremely difficult to build houses underwater, and ordinary materials will be easily corroded, especially wood.
There is no doubt that the settlement in front of us is the mermaid tribe that the old giant clam once talked about!
No wonder there are so many fish and they have been searching for so long. This place is at least 200 miles away from the coast!
The clouds and fog are clear!
Fathead fish, well done!
Liang Qu summoned the water beasts to come and entered the settlement alone.
The floating figure scared away the small fish that were looking for food in the gap.
The entire mermaid tribe was built and expanded along the deep ditch.
Half of the houses were built on the ground, and half of the caves were dug into the cliffs.
The caves could not be illuminated by sunlight, but there were many fluorescent vines intertwined, creating a good range of vision.
Liang Qu guessed that most of those living on the ground were the strong among the mermaids, the rentier class.
Those living in the cliff caves were mostly from the lower class.
Through the doors and windows, the various types of furniture left inside also confirmed this view from the side.
Many furnishings in the caves are far less exquisite than those in the houses above.
However, decades later, it is the cliff caves where the lower class people live that are built according to the stone and are better preserved.
People need food to support, and houses need people to support.
An old house will not collapse if people live in it for a hundred years, but it will collapse if no one lives in it for five years.
Popularity is a real thing. An uninhabited earth house will be dilapidated in a few years.
Especially underwater, erosion is much more serious than on land.
"At its peak, there were more than 2,000 people."
Reading thousands of books, traveling thousands of miles.
Liang Qu has been to many places so far, and has seen many towns and villages. Based on the number and size of houses now, it can be roughly estimated that there was once a mermaid tribe of 2,000 to 2,500 people living here.
No more than 3,000, and the overall scale is slightly larger than the former Yixing City.
"I don't know how much benefit I can get."
The mermaids are not to be destroyed, but to be evacuated in a planned and organized manner after the disappearance of the Dragon King.
I hope the harvest will not disappoint people.
After a circle, I remember the general appearance of the entire ruins in my mind.
Liang Qu's mind moved, and the misty aura spread.
In an instant, countless silk-like white belts stretched out from the void, wrapped him into a white ball, and then dissipated, and the mighty white ape appeared!
The white ape closed his eyes tightly, and the water flow perception expanded dozens of times outward, covering the entire mermaid ruins.
The roof, walls, floor tiles, window frames...wherever the water flows, it is as clear as the lines on the palm!
The two reflect each other, and all the hidden dark rooms and secret rooms are revealed.
Clear structure, key points, Liang Qu finished the transformation of spirit. After being weak, he sat cross-legged to practice Qigong and continuously strengthened his memory.
For a long time.
The two dragon people of Longpingjiang and Longpinghe, plus the fat catfish, could not move, and Yuantou and other water beasts arrived one after another.
The two dragon people were quite surprised to see the underwater ruins.
They did not know the real purpose of Liang Qu coming to Xiangyi County to kill the snake, but they did not stop him when they saw many water beasts looking for it.
They were all ownerless things, so what could not be taken.
The water beasts dug holes and dug nests.
Yuantou was the first to make a discovery, and took out a transparent teardrop-shaped gem from the cave, shining brightly.
Mermaid tears!
Good stuff!
Liang Qu loves mermaid tears very much. Not only do they contain the essence of water, but he can also sell them to Tianbo Chamber of Commerce and make double profit!
There are indeed good things left in the ruins!
Wow!
Large swaths of silt rose from the other direction.
Liang Qu put away the shark's tears and looked down from a high place.
The collapsed eaves trembled twice, suddenly bursting like a surging torrent, and a fat catfish emerged from it.
The smoke and dust filled the air, and Fat Catfish sneezed twice in a row. He was dissatisfied with the fragility of the house and beat the broken beams into sawdust.
I accidentally bumped it and fell down!
Having learned from the past, the water beasts became more cautious.
The fat catfish cannot move. Each one has a round head and is huge. It is really a hindrance to enter the house where the sharks live to collect things.
By coincidence, the position of Da Dakai in the spiritual connection was getting closer and closer.
River otters and beavers are smaller in size and have more dexterous hands, so they must be good diggers.
Liang Qu asked Da Da Kai to change his route and rush towards the location of the shark ruins.
There are nearly a thousand houses in the Shark ruins, some of which are easy to find.
It won't be done in a few days.
Three hundred miles away.
After receiving the order, Otter Kai climbed up the mast and issued new instructions in an orderly manner. The Otter in the wheelhouse pushed the crossbar.
The otter who was controlling the sail bulged his arms with muscles, bared his fangs, adjusted the sail, and continued to move forward at full speed.
Head to a new destination!
at the same time.
Yuan Tou quickly found the second Mermaid Tear, and handed it to the God with his chest raised and his head raised.
"Can't Move" glanced twice, and the old god was on the ground using his claws to pull at the ruins, maintaining his own rhythm.
The fat catfish was very jealous when he saw Yuan Tou's achievements one after another. He accidentally bumped into the beam and the whole house shook. It was frightened and it hurriedly held on.
Time passes.
The water is turning red.
Many water animals are patiently searching for it.
The tears on Liang Qu's hand quickly went from one to two to three...
