Su Zijun didn’t feel amazed at all, although there were so many rare creatures surrounding her which were never discovered by humans. So she couldn’t understand why Luo Qiu would be so interested in them—as if he saw them for the first time.
Luo Qiu could traverse the land and sea, appearing in the depths of the sea in one moment… As an owner of such power similar to a god, he must have met many creatures. Su Zijun was more and more confused about the mysterious club owner—Of course, she didn’t plan to understand him. She wished to get far away as much as she could after the transaction.
The club was indeed convenient. Everyone could get what they wanted just by paying the price…Su Zijun didn’t think this kind of deal was healthy as a being who had lived for ages.
“You can take photos when you come here next time.” Su Zijun was impatient.
“Oh… Sorry.” Luo Qiu apologized. “I forget everything upon seeing this scene for the first time… Wow, this is really a wonderful place.” As a paleobiology student, the animals in the deep sea attracted him most.
‘The first time? What a lie.’ Su Zijun didn’t believe him at all… She snorted and moved back toward the other direction in the sea. Soon, Luo Qiu followed her.
Strictly speaking, the seabed on which the burial mound was located in was not the real deep part of the sea. There was no resources which could be detected… On the contrary, Luo Qiu saw some sunken wrecks.
“It seemed that there was a fierce sea battle that happened here.”
“Do you want to take some photos again?” Su Zijun asked directly.
Luo Qiu smiled but his gaze fell to the front—He saw some blue light spots in the dark accidentally, which were undiscovered marine life.
The front was a huge trench—which was narrow at both ends but spacious in the middle. The edge of the trench was eroded by the water and seemed like the wrinkles, but it still could be seen as a straight and flat diamond.
“There are some bones, too.” Luo Qiu stood at the edge and looked curiously, “The bones don’t belong to marine organisms.”
Su Zijun said calmly, “They are sirens. They rose during ancient chaotic times near the coastlines.”
Luo Qiu said, “They are extinct now. At least, the satellite didn’t capture any strange species.”
Su Zijun glanced at Luo Qiu, “The monsters in the deep sea died out for no reason. Seven hundred years before, a siren king led the deep sea monsters to fight against monks and land monsters for occupying the land and reducing the extinction of marine monsters… From then on, the human monks and our monsters went into a decline… but the marine monsters were almost extinct.”
Su Zijun shook her head, “No more words, let’s go ahead to save time.” After that, Su Zijun jumped into the deep trench without a word.
Luo Qiu was stunned and stopped talking… He couldn’t say it directly, ‘If you told me, I didn’t have to buy the information and waste my resources…’
The trench was like a huge battlefield with many big skeletons buried here. They were buried in mud and a small part of it was uncovered—It was enough to imagine the original size of them.
Su Zijun found that Luo Qiu stopped again… was he here for a tour? Luo Qiu was standing by the bare bones and he raised his hand to clean up the mud on the bones.
“Do you really want the item?” Su Zijun got impatient again. There was a saying that people who owned the money would not be offended… but Su Zijun felt that she was the one who was begging Luo Qiu to accept this item.
“Miss. Zijun, don’t you think the two sets of bones are interesting?” Luo Qiu said lightly.
“Two sets?” Su Zijun was shocked and frowned, “They are nothing special.”
Luo Qiu explained, “Although we don’t know their appearance and characteristics, we can see that their bones are tangled together even seven hundred years later.”
They looked like the bones of snakes with extra long strange frames in general. They should have been two independent individuals but were tangled tightly together.
“They embraced each other even seven hundred years later.” Luo Qiu said, “They are by each other’s side until the end of their lives. Isn’t that touching?”
Su Zijun smiled coldly, “Maybe they are biting each other until the last moment?”
“Monsters…” Luo Qiu said, “If they are the same species, they wouldn’t be biting each other. And judging from their bones structure, they should be the same species.”
Su Zijun had nothing to persuade but she didn’t intend to agree with Luo Qiu. She insisted, “They may be brothers or father and son. Do you want to figure out their relationships in case the situation got out of hand?”
“Maybe.” Luo Qiu got close to the bones after looking at them for a while. He continued to clean up the mud at the location where many bones were covered. “As expected.”
Su Zijun was curious and got closed. She found there was another small set of bones hiding between the bones, “This is…”
“Their kid, maybe.” Luo Qiu raised his head and looked up at the two big bones.
Su Zijun was also upset as if she was pricked by a needle in her heart. She asked, “Would you be sad and touched by their love and embrace as a stone-cold businessman?”
“I am just wondering…” Luo Qiu withdrew his eyes, “What would they have looked like at that time?”
Su Zijun fell into consideration while seeing Luo Qiu innocent eyes… She realized something, clearly Luo Qiu didn’t regard the bones from the perspective of a land monster, a marine monster, or a human being.
He felt only a pity for the lives passing by without any sympathy… He was like a person outside a bottle looking into the bottle. An unknown fear took over Su Zijun, which made her see a chasm deeper than the trench.
“Time to go! I am in a hurry!” Su Zijun said urgently.
Luo Qiu said nothing while watching Su Zijun go ahead alone. He moved back to the three sets of bones and covered them with mud again.
Luo Qiu said gently, “I am sorry to have bothered you all.”
