Chapter 38 Salvaging
the Witch's Eye shows a fusiform shape as a whole, narrow at both ends and wide in the middle.
Warhammer wrote in the letter that the magic power fluctuation was approximately in the center of the lake.
So Hua Mi first controlled the drone to float on the water, push it to the "pupil" of the witch's eye, and then slowly sink.
Hua Mi stood on the shore, operating the drone controller and staring at the screen between the two rows of buttons on the controller.
The footage captured by the drone was displayed on the screen in real time.
There was still enough light at first, and the lake water was not very clear, but the visibility could reach two or three meters.
But as we gradually dived, the amount of light that could shine through quickly decreased, and visibility soon shrunk to less than one meter.
The particles and small bubbles in the lake water are mixed together and dance around the drone with the current, which greatly blocks the view.
While falling, he also saw several fish shadows passing by.
"It looks like there are a lot of fish, why are they so difficult to catch?"
After diving a little further, it was time to turn on the light.
Hua Mi pressed the light switch.
The picture on the screen suddenly brightened up.
First, it goes completely white, and then it automatically adjusts to the appropriate brightness slowly.
The searchlight of the drone is divided into two parts. One part is distributed in a circle around the body and cannot be adjusted in direction.
There is also a part located in front of the machine that can adjust its orientation within a certain angle range.
"It's actually so deep. It's more than 20 meters."
The depth of the Witch's Eye was deeper than he imagined.
The screen showed that the dive depth was 21 meters.
At this depth, even if he had the guts to dive, his body wouldn't be able to bear it.
The water pressure is too high. Without equipment, water pressure exceeding 20 meters can easily cause damage to human organs.
The number of aquatic plants in the picture gradually increased, and Hua Mi controlled it more carefully to prevent the drone from getting entangled in the aquatic plants.
Finally, when the diving depth was displayed at 26.7m, the drone touched the bottom of the lake.
The good news is that the bottom of the lake is covered with a layer of soft sand, which is very loose and non-sticky, making it easy to dig. The two robotic arms can easily pull it out.
The bad news is that the aquatic plants here are so dense that they sway with the water, making it almost like entering an underwater forest, blocking the view.
Hua Mi could only control the drone and use its mechanical arm to push away the water plants and move forward steadily.
According to Warhammer, the source of the magic wave is buried under the sand.
But there is no need to let the drone dig down from the beginning. It will have to be dug for a long time. It will be like a headless fly. I'm afraid I won't be able to find it even if the electricity runs out.
He planned to let the drone conduct a general inspection first.
Although I can't feel the magic power fluctuations, the source of the magic power fluctuations will definitely be different from other places, and there may be strange phenomena.
Hua Mi concentrated on staring at the screen and operating the drone. She was highly focused, even more focused than when playing games.
After a period of bee control training and the blessing of the concentration ring, his mental power has far exceeded that of ordinary people, at least twice that of ordinary people.
Just like that, about half an hour passed.
Hua Mi locked onto a suspicious location and stopped the drone.
But it's not a strange phenomenon caused by magic power fluctuations.
Instead, a human skeleton was discovered.
Most of the skeleton was covered by mud, with only half of the skull and part of the arm and leg bones exposed.
If he were to go into the water in person, Hua Mi might feel creepy at first sight of a skeleton.
But across the screen, he had no real feeling, just like playing a game.
We've seen this kind of scene in games and movies a lot, and there are even more bizarre ones, so this is nothing.
Immediately control the drone to approach and prepare to dig.
Another strange thing is that there are almost no aquatic plants around the skeleton.
Theoretically, the substances produced by the decay of the human body will make this place extra fertile, and aquatic plants should be more prosperous.
However, the reality is exactly the opposite. Not only are there no aquatic plants, but even the skeleton itself is clean and white enough to reflect light.
Hua Mi controlled the drone to land slightly below the skull, and the two robotic arms began to dig the sand at the same time.
Soon, some rags flew out one after another.
It must be that this person's clothes have been soaked in water and will fall into pieces when pulled. The robotic arm continues digging.
Suddenly, I dug something hard.
Instead of bones, it was a small, round metal box with a thin, rusty chain attached to it, hanging around the skull's neck.
Hua Mi wanted to use the robotic arm to take off the metal box, but with a little force, the skull tilted and rolled to the side.
"..."
It doesn't matter, the effect is the same.
This guy's neck must be sore after being down there for so long, so I just try to help him move around.
Hua Mi closed the two robotic arms and firmly grasped the small metal box.
Regardless of whether the source of the magic power fluctuations sensed by the war hammer was this thing, he planned to bring it up to have a look first, and at worst, go back down again. High-tech assistance is convenient.
Just when he turned the camera and prepared to float up.
Suddenly, my mind suddenly flashed, and I realized that I had seen something disharmonious when the picture flashed just now.
The camera pans back.
I saw a faint outline of a human face among the water plants in front of me, looking motionless at the camera.
Hua Mi's scalp suddenly became numb.
When the searchlight turned completely, the face receded.
Hua Mi also saw the face clearly.
Pale.
Not a human face.
The six eyes are neatly arranged in two rows, with layered eyelids, much like human eyes.
You can also see many shadows dancing behind it.
The face shrank back under the strong light, and then the upper and lower parts of the face split open, opening a round hole filled with circles of fangs. It rushed forward and bit the drone in one bite. .
The screen shook violently.
Fortunately, the edges of the drone were smooth, like a flying saucer, so there was no bite.
Hua Mi immediately adjusted the attitude of the drone and floated up at full speed.
The camera looked downwards, and you could see that the water monster chased upwards for a certain distance, but soon gave up and turned downwards to disappear into the darkness.
Perhaps it is afraid of light and can only move in the dark at the bottom of the lake.
Anyway, Hua Mi breathed a sigh of relief.
He couldn't help but wonder whether the skeleton at the bottom of the lake had been eaten away by the water monster, so it did not serve as a "fertile field".
But why isn't there even a single aquatic plant?
While Hua Mi was thinking, the drone had floated to the surface and then swam to the shore at full speed.
I picked up the drone and saw a tooth mark left on the edge.
This is titanium alloy material.
The bite force of that monster is simply amazing.
She could probably bite his arm off easily.
Hua Mi controlled the robotic arm to open and the small metal box fell to the ground.
"Isn't this thing dangerous?"
To be on the safe side, Hua Mi did not touch it rashly, but controlled a swarm of bees to attach to it, and worked together to open the lid of the box.
The space inside is very small, with only one black "pebble".
The bees flew to Hua Mi carrying the "stones".
"It's not like ordinary stones."
Hua Mi saw that nothing unusual happened when the bees came into contact with this thing, so he took it with confidence and held it in his hand for a closer look.
It was about the size of a red bean, oval in shape, with a bare surface and no cracks.
At this time, Xiao Zi happened to fly by him, and he concluded at a glance:
"This is a seed."
