Four hundred and seventy-eight glow-in-the-dark beads

After passing through the descending turbulence, the flow begins to stabilize.

"It doesn't seem that difficult. Li Huan breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as you find the right time, it will not be a problem to cross the turbulence." But the first story of discovering that there is a city under the Twin Lakes doesn't it mean that there is light here...... Why don't I see a dime? Is it still down there...... It's 474 meters deep, so let's dive a little deeper. ”

"Master, although you have successfully passed through the turbulence, you still have to be careful, this place may be the ruins of Atlantis after all, although there is no real hammer now, but in many stories, there are records of Atlantis's advanced technological civilization, although their city has sunk, but there will be any dangerous things left behind. Fiona reminded.

"Don't worry, I'm most afraid of death, if it's not right, I have a way to run back. Li Huan nodded in agreement, the most dangerous turbulence had already crossed, and he held the black technology of the space portal in his hand, even if there was any accident, he could ensure that he could escape with his whole body. And there is really a possibility that there are Atlantis ruins under his feet, driven by strong curiosity, Li Huan was eager to see what was going on underwater, explained to the two girls in the virtual screen, and continued to dive.

Because of the Storm Island Reef Necklace, Li Huan's diving safety has been greatly improved, but after Fiona's reminder, Li Huan thought about it and was cautious first.

Then Li Huan soon had a feeling that something was wrong, and he felt a strong uneasiness.

Li Huan has always been like a fish in water in the water, even if he goes to another space to touch someone's altar, he can also harden the pursuer, the water-avoiding barrier of the storm island and reef necklace plus his own skills and abilities, in addition to not being able to control the general environment, there is actually not much difference between Li Huan in the water and on land. So the uneasiness underwater, which I never had before. But as soon as he entered the turbulence, he immediately felt an irrepressible uneasiness, always feeling that something in the depths of the darkness was staring at him, and after using his mental power to search, he found that there was nothing around. Even with the wild scanning radar turned on, there was no danger in sight except for some harmless fish.

But that sense of uneasiness lingered, and Li Huan had no choice but to chat with the two girls on the virtual screen, trying to distract from this uneasiness and anxiety.

Entering the turbulence, Li Huan only dived thirty meters, the underwater resistance began to increase, the suspended impurities in the sea water also began to increase, and the visibility plummeted, even if he used the infrared vision, he couldn't even see what was twenty meters away. Fortunately, there is a sense of spiritual power, but after all, spiritual power is not as direct as the eyes see.

Fortunately, Xiaofei's handset has many functions and can be used as a sonar underwater.

The machine emitted a penetrating ethereal sound, the sound waves penetrated the seawater, and then the echo was imaged into the terrain, so this legendary sea area where Atlantis sank slowly revealed its true face under the echo image. At the foot of Li Huan, about a hundred meters deep, is a large coral forest, the terrain is very strange, undulating, there seems to be an extremely deep trench between the terrain, the terrain in the trench can not be seen clearly in the echogram, but there is a very fast flow of sea water inside, after the water flow through the undulating terrain, the formation of a stream of turbulence is a semicircle, shrouded in the turbulence of this submarine coral forest.

"There's a life reaction in that...... And there are no less. Fei said.

Li Huan immediately raised his vigilance, it stands to reason that in this kind of water depth, there should not be a group of life reactions, if it is a large fish, it should live in a position of 30-200 meters of water depth, because there are the most small fish and shrimp in plankton in this location, and if there are no small fish in the deep place, the large fish will starve to death.

"It looks like the turbulence is coming from this place...... I'll take a closer look. Li Huan pondered for a moment and cautiously approached the crack.

On the virtual screen, Fiona and Chen Xue looked at the infrared vision from Li Huan's main perspective, and their hearts were in their throats.

"The master's courage is really big, if it were me, even if I could survive there, I wouldn't dare to continue to go down. Fiona suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "No wonder for so many years, Atlantis has never been discovered, this darkness under the deep sea is too terrifying, and the owner is the bravest person I have ever seen." ”

"Sister Fiona, are you afraid of this too?" Chen Xue swallowed her saliva and looked at Fiona, who was a little nervous, curious: "You...... You shouldn't be afraid of the dark, right?"

She asked more tactfully, and didn't directly say that vampires were nocturnal creatures.

"Miss Chen Xue, what I'm afraid of is not the dark, it's the unknown in the dark, have you ever heard of deep-sea phobia?" Fiona smiled slightly: "Try to imagine, if you are swimming, a hand or a strange fish appears at the bottom of the water, and suddenly grabs your foot and takes you off the water, dragging you deeper and deeper, you can only wait powerlessly to suffocate." Or at night you are floating alone on the sea, and you can't see the shore in any direction, and you don't know what horrors are around you, watching your every move...... It's pitch black all around, the waves are rolling and the shovel is getting stronger, the smell of the sea is getting stronger and stronger, you don't know what will appear under your feet in the next second, everything is unknown, is it scary?"

The ocean has nurtured life since the birth of the earth, and the boundless sea is too mysterious to be fathomed. In addition to nurturing life, the ocean is also pregnant with many creatures that people do not know, and too many uncertainties make many people shy away from facing the sea, thus also producing "deep-sea phobia".

"Abyssal phobia" is a type of phobia, most of which make people feel that they are in a confined space and it is difficult to escape, and the sea is inscrutable, the sea has bred many unknown creatures, and for people who can't swim, the deep sea is more like a terrifying abyss. Many people clearly know that their deep-sea phobia is overly anxious, and sometimes they even know that this fear is completely unnecessary, but there will always be some manifestations of deep-sea phobia.

Especially for those who have personal experience, it seems that some people need to dive into the deep sea for work, or dive in the deep sea out of hobbies, at this time, if they encounter a thrilling event during the diving process, if there is no timely crisis intervention for the person concerned, it is easy to cause their psychological shadow of the deep sea, resulting in deep-sea phobia afterwards.

And more people's fear of the deep sea comes from claustrophobia, the deep sea is like a dark and confined space, if you have claustrophobia, even when you see a picture of the deep sea, you will constantly imagine that you are trapped in it.

Chen Xue thought for a moment and shuddered: "Don't say it, it's too scary." When you say that, I also think Brother Huan is so brave......"

"It's not brave, I'm sure I'll get out of it all right. Li Huan interjected when he heard the two girls chatting: "If it weren't for these means, I wouldn't dare to come down and die if I touched my conscience." ”

"Master, you've been saying that you can get out of the way, and you've said it in the Antarctic underground, what kind of means are you?" Fiona wondered.

"I can't tell you this, it's a secret......" After Li Huan finished speaking, he suddenly exclaimed: "Yo...... So many goodies!"

It turned out that after he descended to a depth of tens of meters, the echogram could already outline the terrain in the trench.

How to say it, if it weren't for Li Huan knowing that he was in the Azores, he almost thought that he had entered the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea.

It's a trench about five or six hundred meters wide, but how deep it is, echoography still can't do anything. The cliffs on both sides of the trench are covered with all kinds of corals, among the corals, there are sea willows growing one by one, one of them is extremely tall, Li Huan has not yet fallen to the bottom of the sea, he saw its branches, this sea willow tree is about more than 20 meters high, very amazing.

The sea willow grows very slowly, and this sea willow has grown for at least 3,000 years...... And the most incredible thing is that there are still fruits growing on its branches, which is incomprehensible. This plant is a mixture of vines and trees, and it does not grow any fruit at all.

As the saying goes, old things will become demons, Li Huanyou took a closer look and found the clue, this sea willow did not bear any fruit at all, but on its branches, "growing" with all kinds of crustacean clams, conch, old mussels, the smallest is the size of a bucket, and the largest clams born on the main trunk of the sea willow are even the size of a car!

Li Huan understood at a glance that this kind of thing can grow for 10,000 years, and its soft branches will always flow with the flow of seawater. The shellfish attached to it feed on plankton, and by attaching themselves to the sea willows, they can easily catch plankton. Except for the amazingly large clams on the main trunk, the other shellfish should have been attached one after the other. As the sea willows continued to grow, they also continued to grow, and finally grew into the illusion of "full of trees" in Li Huan's spiritual vision.

Li Huan was amazed, and suddenly, a little light came from the infrared vision, almost blinding his eyes.

Suddenly there was a lot of glory near the sea willows!

It turned out that with a burst of water gushing out of the trench, perhaps because of the abundance of plankton, hundreds of crustaceans attached to the sea willows opened their shells and began to feed in the water. As the saying goes, old things become demons and old mussels give birth to pearls, and at this moment, the old guys attached to the sea willow tree showed their wealth one by one, and they actually showed the details of this photo.

As soon as the night pearl appeared, the light immediately attracted a school of small fish nearby, and more than a dozen small fish swam around these glowing beads. They are in groups of hundreds or thousands, and when they turn their bodies, the scales on their bodies reflect the light of the night pearl, and they reflect the underwater world in an unpredictable way.

"It's so beautiful! This is the real pearl of the night!" Chen Xue's eyes widened.

But Li Huan shouted: "!

At lightning speed, he quickly left the glorious sea willow. Sure enough, almost at the same time, a speckled shadow suddenly brushed past him and pounced on one of the schools of fish circling around the sea willows, swallowing almost half of them in one gulp. This fish has a pointed mouth and a sharp brain, a mouth with sharp teeth, a slender body, and a tail like a crescent moon.

After it swallowed the fish, it suddenly turned around and pounced towards Li Huan, and its fangs made people tremble.

"I knew that light under the water doesn't lead to anything good! This thing has used this place as a canteen!" Li Huan once again avoided the moray eel raid.

It's a giant moray eel!

On Li Huan's wild detection radar, it is marked as lv7, and the level is neither high nor low, but no matter how good Li Huan's water nature is, it is always the bottom of the sea and the home of others.

Moray eels, a mid-sea vertebrate eel, are found in tropical and subtropical oceans, living in shallow waters, inhabiting rocks and reefs and hiding in crevices. Unlike other eels in that the gill holes are small and rounded, and generally have no pectoral fins. With thick, smooth skin and scaleless mouth, a large mouth full of sharp teeth, suitable for catching and biting prey, it can also seriously injure its predators, including humans.

From the outside, it is as long as a snake, with a small head, a protruding mouth, a mouth full of sharp teeth, teeth so big that the mouth can't close, and the body surface is covered with a layer of makeup-like red halo patterns, and its chestnut spots, scattered spots, and stripes form bizarre patterns. The most terrifying thing about it is not the teeth, but the toxin, when it bites the prey, it will secrete venom from the venom glands around the teeth and inject it into the wound, so that the prey will be poisoned to death, and it is fierce and fearless.

"Why did the moray eel suddenly come out!" Chen Xue was shocked: "Brother Huan, be careful, it's here again!"

Li Huan once again avoided the attack of the moray eel and explained: "It is very dangerous to have a bright light on the bottom of the sea, do you know that there is a fish called monkfish, it inhabits the deep sea, and it has evolved a small luminaire on its body, and it relies on this luminaire to lure food." In the total darkness of the deep sea, when there is a bright light, it will attract a large group of predators! This moray eel is here waiting for the sea willows to shine and the canteen to open!"

As soon as Li Huan's words fell, the moray eel turned back again, and after passing by a few times, Li Huan saw its whole picture clearly, this moray eel has the thickness of three people hugging each other, nearly 20 meters long! It stands to reason that the average moray eel is already very big when it grows to four or five meters, and this moray eel that inhabits the deep sea is already afraid that it has become a sperm!

After quickly killing the fish, the moray eel changed its target to Li Huan. It may not have seen this kind of prey, so it bites directly in its mouth, where is Li Huan so easy to bite, he took out his mace at the moment, and used the spikes on it to cut a long gap on its side, and suddenly, the sea water was full of blood.

The moray eel, which used the area around the sea willow as a canteen, was scratched by the food, and immediately turned around angrily and bit again, resulting in another wound on its body.

Now it finally knows that this "food" is not so easy to mess with.

However, it did not leave, but hovered in the water layer under Li Huan's feet, waiting for an opportunity to move. Not to mention, although Li Huan is not afraid of it, there is always such a moray eel more than 20 meters long with sharp teeth and sharp teeth hovering around him, as if it is so uncomfortable to be remembered by a thief. Li Huan wanted to take the initiative to catch it, but the moray eel's body was soft and extremely fast, so he couldn't catch it at all.

Originally, I wanted to let Xiao Maruko come out, but Xiao Maruko couldn't kill it, and told Li Huan in the spiritual connection that it was useless to come out by himself, and one of the natural enemies of the octopus was the moray eel. The mucus of the moray eel is so smooth that the octopus's suction cups are useless against it, and the moray eel's toothy mouth needs to cut off a tentacle on its own if it bites, or it will become infected with venom.

This can make Li Huan nauseous enough, and he was about to use mental impact to stop Xiao Fei in time.

"Aren't you afraid that there is a bigger guy hidden underneath this? Now you use mental shock to alarm everything below, and you can only open the space door and run away. That's what Dumbo said.

That is to say, this guy can't catch up or run, and the two thugs can't use Li Huan to look left and right irritably, and suddenly feel a brighter light flashing. He followed the light and saw the car-sized clams under the sea willows, and opened his shell, and a huge night pearl inside was magnificent, almost overpowering all the beads around! This clams have been growing for I don't know how many years, and the annual rings are densely packed with outrageous people, and even on its carapace, there are all kinds of corals and various shellfish that are smaller than a small one, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an independent ecosystem.

Li Huan's eyes were completely attracted by this clams.

Tridacnus, known as the "King of Shells", is not only because of its large size, but also because of its bright color. There are a large number of zooxanthellae in the mantle of the clams, with the help of the vitreous body in the membrane, the zooxanthellae multiply in large quantities as their own nutrients, and when the zooxanthellae shines, it can attract a large number of small fish and shrimp, so that the clams can have a full meal, and the two form a special relationship of mutual benefit and symbiosis.

In some extremely rare cases, the Tridacna berry also breeds the extremely rare "glow-in-the-dark pearl".

"Luminous pearls" are natural treasures that glow at night, and have been widely circulated in Chinese history for thousands of years and have been given many mystical colors in various fields such as philosophy, economy, politics, culture, poetry, and jewelry. The "luminous pearl" is generally green, sleek and glossy, as cute as a large jadeite. In the daytime, you can't see its light, but at night, it naturally emits fluorescence from green to white in the dark, as bright and beautiful as the moon, and it is an extremely rare collection, but since the discovery of "fluorite", the luminous pearl is no longer a treasure.

The truly rare "glow-in-the-dark pearls" are pearl-type luminous pearls.

Only the pearls bred inside the clam can be called noctilucent pearls. Because the clams themselves have the concentrating property of the vitreous body, when the pearl is conceived, the vitreous body continues to fall off and become the nutrients of the pearl, which is a truly natural and extremely valuable "luminous pearl".

Isn't the moray eel attracted by the light? If you take this "luminous pearl" king, are you afraid that it won't take the initiative to send it to the door? Li Huan made up his mind, took out his mace, bounced off the spikes on the mace, and swam towards the huge clams.

Not to mention, as soon as Li Huan approached the huge clams, the moray eel began to get nervous, and kept circling around Li Huan, posing as a tentative attack. Li Huan sneered, if you dare to come over, you will fall into my arms, if you don't come, the meal ticket for your canteen will be taken away by me.

Although he was thinking of stealing other people's meal tickets, when Li Huan approached Tridacn, he also felt the weight of this ancient life.

In general, clams can only grow up to one meter long, but in water, as long as they live long enough, they can grow indefinitely. Many, many years ago, because the fishermen of the Azores did not dare to fish in this area, the ecosystem here is so good that they did not dare to fish, let alone go down to the sea to catch pearls, this huge clams have grown until now.

It has been identified as a rare species of the Tridacnus family, the Devil's Tridacnis.

It has a triangular shape, with a curved top and a wavy rim with several deep grooves that resemble those that have been rolled over by wheels. This is one of the few clams in the family that can survive in great depths, and there are dazzling colorful shawls with intricate patterns inside.

A night pearl with a glowing glow is in the flesh of the clams.

The closer Li Huan got to the clams, the more panicked the moray eel became, tentatively approaching Li Huan.

It doesn't panic, the moray eel uses the vicinity of the sea willow as its hunting ground, Li Huan got the biggest "luminous pearl" away, the light intensity here will inevitably decrease, if the light intensity drops, how to attract small fish to come, if there are no small fish, then it will have a hard life.

No matter how shrewd the moray eel is, it has not really reached the point of becoming a refiner, seeing that Li Huan is about to move his canteen, the moray eel is anxious, swings its tail, and crashes towards Li Huan. The moray eel, which was more than twenty meters long, swung its tail and crashed towards Li Huan like an offline arrow, and it anxiously watched as Li Huan reached out to get the "luminous pearl", just wanting to knock this damn food away as soon as possible.

But Li Huan is so insidious, he originally just wanted to demolish people's canteens, but seeing the moray eel rushing at him in such a hurry, he rolled his eyes and thought of a good way.

This kind of thing has no ability, but there are only two abilities, it has almost no natural enemies, one is fast, the other is powerful, of course, everyone knows the thickness of the shell, and the megalodon will not try to bite this kind of thing when it is resurrected.

He pretended to reach out to get the "glow-in-the-dark pearl", but in fact he watched the moray eel come from behind on its own, and at the critical moment, the moray eel suddenly lost its target, but it couldn't stop anymore and crashed headlong into the clams meat. It's fun, the old clams don't know how many years they have lived, and they have bred such a "luminous pearl", which usually relies on it to attract small fish and shrimp, and naturally regards it as a treasure. was hit by the moray eel like this, and thought that someone was going to snatch the baby, but suddenly there was a "stuck" sound, and the two halves of the huge clams shell were closed together, knocking the moray eel into the head of its own shell and clamping it fiercely.

The moray eel was originally aimed at Li Huan, but where did he expect this food to be so cunning? After crashing headlong into the clam shell, it was caught by a car-sized clams, and he was immediately shocked. It twists desperately in a vain attempt to get out of its shell, but it can be caught by the clams, where can it be taken off if it wants to? The shellfish's only defense mechanism is its strong closing ability, and once it is caught, there is no hope of getting out.

The moray eel, which is more than 20 meters long, struggled to get up, and the movement was earth-shattering, and the mud and sand on the bottom of the sea were muddy by it. If the clams stuck in its head were smaller, it could still find a way to swim somewhere else and find a stone to knock it open, but this car-sized clams themselves are heavy and grow dead on top of the sea willows, where can it shake?

Li Huan saw clearly not far away, as the clams continued to close, the body of the moray eel was clamped and deformed, and about a minute later, only to hear a "poof", the moray eel that the three of them hugged was clamped off!

It seems that moray eels, such as eels, have extremely strong vitality, and even if they are seriously injured, as long as they do not hurt their spine, they will recover in a very short time. But this time it met the nemesis, its head was pinched off by the clams, and its huge body suddenly lost its vitality, like a deflated spring, and collapsed limply on the ground.

A battle that was supposed to be earth-shattering ended prematurely under the "suicide" of the moray eel.

"It's so scary!" the two girls sighed on the virtual screen: "I didn't expect that the clumsy looking clams are so powerful that moray eels more than 20 meters can be pinched." ”

"Don't underestimate the power of shellfish, in ancient times, there were fishermen who went to the sea to get pearls, and a careless hand and foot was a dead end. And this old clam doesn't know how many years he has lived, and his strength is even more amazing, I'm afraid I'm caught, and I can't open its shell with strength alone. Li Huan said.

"It's a pity, the luminous beads in its body are so beautiful!" Chen Xue said regretfully.

"Well, there's no way, the clams are probably frightened, and if you open it again, I don't know when it's going to be. Li Huan shrugged: "I can destroy it from the outside, but it has lived for so many years, and we don't lack that little thing, so don't create any more killings...... If you like glow-in-the-dark beads, there are still those branches, and I'll find you a few small ones as souvenirs. ”

"Ha! Okay, thank you Brother Huan!" Chen Xue is not picky.

Li Huan, the biggest "luminous pearl", didn't plan to get it, the clams have grown for so many years, and there is no need to kill the "luminous pearl" in vain. And there are a lot of shellfish growing on the sea willow tree, Li Huan checked the past one by one, the shellfish growing on the sea willow are not ordinary, each shell contains a pearl, although not all of them are night pearls, but they are definitely pearls of excellent quality. After Li Huan swam around the sea willows, he collected about seven or eight "luminous pearls".

"Okay, don't take the rest, these are enough, everyone has enough for one piece. Li Huan put the "luminous pearl" into the virtual space, and he handled a lot of gems and gold, but this kind of natural pearl is still quite rare.

After Li Huan finished collecting the pearls, he levitated on the sea willow tree for a while, waiting for the mud and sand rolled up by the moray eel to calm down, planning to check the underwater terrain again before diving down. The mud and sand brought up by the moray eel as it struggled just now obscured the surrounding view. The moray eel just now reminded Li Huan that this is nearly 500 meters under the tree, which is already classified by oceanographers as a "lightless zone", and here, there may already be an independent ecosystem, so everything must be careful.
