NOVEL NEXT Chapter 421: The good times come!
It's quiet at night.
Su Mo was running quickly down the mountain road, and it only took more than an hour to reach a post at the foot of the mountain.
Because the curse has disappeared and the leader has been burned to ashes, the islanders in the outpost no longer need to be alert and patrolling. Now they have all withdrawn to the mountain and are preparing to move away from the island tomorrow.
While thinking, he dug out a lot of big-bellied rattan baskets in the corner of the outpost, planning to use them to contain maple pearls later.
Although there is a universal bubble generator, he still doesn't know if those prehistoric creatures in the sea are still there. If they are, the bubbles are not as useful as these rattan baskets.
Because these rattan baskets are woven with old vines from the mountains and soaked in oil, even ordinary knives cannot cut them and are very strong.
If he encounters danger, he can just tie the basket to his hand and run away immediately without worrying about losing the loot.
After picking four baskets, Su Mo slung them on his shoulders, then quickly walked to the coast and walked into the cold water step by step.
Looking in the right direction, he dived towards the bottom of the sea.
But as he swam, he felt something was wrong with the surrounding situation.
Because along the way, the sea was so quiet and terrifying. Not to mention the strange fish we encountered when we landed on the island before, there were very few plankton, as if we had entered the Dead Sea.
However, if there were prehistoric giant beasts living here, the surrounding small fish would become food. This situation is not impossible.
So he immediately cheered up and continued to dive cautiously.
But surprisingly, he still didn't find any living things.
After a while, he came to the sea more than a hundred meters deep, and finally a large piece of seaweed appeared in front of him, which was very similar to the ones found near the Mosasaurus territory.
"Finally something alive!"
Su Mo vaguely remembered that the seaweed he saw at that time was as dense as a forest, and there were a large number of small fish living in it. The green and hard seaweed became the best shelter for them.
After all, even the little megalodon couldn't break free after being entangled, and was eventually bitten in two by the mosasaurus.
Continuing downstream, Su Mo discovered that something was wrong with the seaweed here. They were generally yellow, like leaves that were about to wither. With a casual pull, the seaweed was easily torn into two pieces, and it also exuded a putrid smell.
"Why are all these seaweeds dying?"
Su Mo was a little surprised, so he continued downward along the seaweed, and soon reached the bottom of the sea.
Stepping on the hard rock, when he saw clearly the situation at the bottom of the seaweed, his expression immediately changed.
Because the seaweed here has completely turned black, you don't need to touch it with your hands. As long as the surrounding water flows faster, they will immediately disperse into fibrous algae floc, which is obviously completely necrotic.
There were also a large number of dead fish scattered around them, including the ferocious monster fish that had attacked Su Mo before.
Swimming nearby quickly, he picked up a dead fish and observed it, and found that the meat on its tail had completely disappeared, exposing the yellowed fish bones, as if it had been dead for decades.
That's all. It can be said that they were bitten off by predators and discarded, but the problem is that the fish heads are very fresh, as if they have just died.
It would be strange for these two phenomena to appear in the same fish.
Su Mo couldn't figure out the reason, so he checked the other dead fish around and found that the conditions were all the same, except that the degree of decay was different.
"Are these fish actually part of the curse? So after the curse disappears, they will die, and their decay will accelerate after death!"
Su Mo had some guesses in his mind, and at the same time he was also a little anxious. He was very worried that the mother-of-pearls of maple pearls would also die.
This is one of the purposes of his trip, and there must be no mistakes.
Thinking of this, he didn't care to continue to explore the reason here, and immediately accelerated his swimming towards the center of the extremely evil sea.
More than half an hour later, Su Mo arrived near the fiery undersea volcano he discovered last time. There was an undersea tunnel underneath that could leave the extremely evil sea.
But at this time, the terrifying lava vortex has completely disappeared, and the megalodon that once regarded this place as its territory has disappeared.
After continuing to swim forward for a while, he saw a shocking scene.
I saw a 20-meter-long megalodon stuck between two undersea hills. Its tail had also turned into white bones, but perhaps because its vitality was strong enough, the megalodon was not completely dead at this time and could still struggle a little. , but the flesh on its body is rotting at an accelerated rate visible to the naked eye, and I'm afraid it won't last long.
Without taking a second look, Su Mo continued to swim forward, wanting to quickly go back to the stone forest to take a look. After all, even terrifying giants like the Megalodon are not immune, and those mother oysters can only die faster.
But when he arrived in the stone forest, he found that the situation here was even worse. All kinds of dead fish were literally covering the bottom of the sea, including prehistoric giants such as mosasaurs and plum whales.
And the mother-of-pearl that he cherished so much was in a mess, almost turning into a fossil.
It was not easy to find a relatively complete mother oyster, but there were only a few scraps of pearls inside, and no one wanted it even if it was taken back.
At this point, Su Mo fully understood that everything here would turn into nothingness with the disappearance of Yamatai's curse, and he would no longer be able to obtain expensive maple pearls from here.
A business worth hundreds of millions!
That's it.
This was undoubtedly a huge blow, so much so that when Su Mo returned to the island in the early morning, he had not yet recovered.
Of course, this could not be hidden from the talented Amamiya Aoi, so she asked directly: "You are so distracted, what happened?"
"No more, all gone." Su Mo murmured: "All my maple pearls are gone."
"Mabe pearls?"
Amamiya Aoi chewed the word curiously, and it was obvious that she didn't know what it was.
KOKIA on the side immediately explained: "It is a very precious pearl. It is said that the output is very small."
Su Mo immediately corrected him: "It's not that there are few, but wild maples are only found in the sea near here. Now that the curse has disappeared and all mother-of-pearl oysters are dead, I'm afraid there will never be such a good quality maple in the world." ”
Hearing this, Himihu on the side showed a look of disdain inadvertently.
Unexpectedly, Amamiya Aoi said: "It's simple. Yamatai has been a country for hundreds of years. Since this pearl is so precious, it will definitely be presented to Queen Himiko. Aren't you looking for treasures on the island? Maybe there will be some." What you want.”
As soon as these words came out, Beimihu was obviously a little panicked, but Su Mo's eyes lit up, and he secretly thought in his heart that this was the legendary Fu Ji Tai Lai?
