Chapter 983 Legendary Species
At the bottom of the deep trench, the submersible radiated light in all directions, and there was a rare little visibility through several basketball-sized windows. As for how far they can see, each person's ability is different, and the results are naturally different.
At first, everyone was very curious about the scenery in the depths of the trench, so they chose the nearest window to look out, and after looking at it for a while, they found that there was nothing unusual about it, it was nothing more than a ravine mountain shape. After sailing for dozens of kilometers all the way, the landscape is the same, and gradually the aesthetic fatigue has lost much interest.
Li Muye took the initiative to find evil to chat, and when it came to the things that Bai Wufang was doing now, some of them were simply outrageous. Li Muye was a little curious about what this tiger girl wanted to do?
Bai Wufang is now ahead of Schroeder on the path of evolution, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she has jumped out of the Three Realms and is not in the Five Elements. These three realms and five elements all belong to the category of using the force of heaven and earth to exert supernatural powers, and she has evolved the ability to generate the force of ice on her own. As long as it is within the reach of the telekinesis, it can form a realm of its own, and can even release a low temperature of absolute zero to freeze time and space.
Why did she still poison those innocent mortals? Obviously, it wasn't for money, secular rules didn't have much binding force on her, how much meaning could money have? It wouldn't be for rights, after the Capitol Hill rat incident, she planted many thorns in the center of North American politics, and doing this kind of thing is obviously not a plus.
She uses the dissolved liquid of the human body to refine drugs and refine new drugs, which have a strong addictive effect. And it can stimulate human potential in the early stage, but once the drug reaches a certain dose, human beings will become infinitely powerful, mentally degenerate, and only know how to follow instinct and need to do things. This seems to be no different from the legend of the zombie.
Maybe she's just trying to turn more people into brainless walking dead?
Li Muye was pondering when suddenly a child's scream came from the corner, but it was a strange sound from the water monkey pet of Ashiya's faithful faith. Following the sound of looking over, I saw that the little thing was in the transparent water tank, staring at the observation window next to it with a pair of watery eyes. The scientific name of this thing is the elephant, and it is named because it is invisible, but in fact, it is only in form near the water, and it is not completely invisible. In normal state, some facial features can still be seen.
There was a black hole outside the window, and Ashiya Tadanobu didn't see anything, and Huoyun and the Shark Giant glanced at it, and they also showed confusion. Li Muye didn't find anything unusual when he looked over, but just as he retracted his gaze, he inadvertently swept to the window on the side of Huoyun, and suddenly found a dark thing passing by dozens of meters away. The speed was too fast, and the visibility was poor, so I couldn't see what it was, but the huge silhouette was already much larger than the deep submersible.
The submersible continued on its way, and the thing flickered and did not reappear.
Long Gongming looked around, and then signaled Evil to turn on the deep-sea sonar radar scanning device to search for suspicious feedback, but only got signal feedback from a few deep-sea peaks. Disappointed, he said angrily to Ashiya Tadanobu: "Take care of your little friend." ”
"That's not right!" Li Muye said solemnly: "It did make a discovery just now, I also seem to have seen a huge black shadow, passing by us at a very fast speed, this dragon is a prehistoric life form formed by the convergence of water spirits, in the depths of this sea we are not as good as it, what we can't find, it doesn't mean that it can't be perceived." ”
Long Gongming was a little surprised and asked, "Boss, are you sure you're right?"
Li Muye nodded, and said: "You can't be wrong, that thing moves extremely fast, it should be the water monkey who saw it first, and then moved to the direction behind Huoyun and was seen by me, and I also saw a silhouette, as if it was some kind of mollusk." ”
"It's supposed to be the Kraken Clan. Huoyun suddenly said: "It's what you often call the octopus, a kind of sea creature that is not lower than the intelligence of humans, we call them the Kraken clan, because of different evolutionary options, their body size can grow indefinitely, so there are often individuals with very exaggerated bodies." ”
All the peoples of the sea in the world have myths and legends related to sea monsters, just as there are rumors about zombie attacks everywhere in the world.
"Is it the king squid?" Lu Shaofen asked.
"It's not. Huoyun said: "The king squid you said is just a low-level creature, and it can also grow very huge, but it is only the food raised by the Kraken Clan, which is a hundred times more stupid than the real Kraken Clan, which is about the difference between chimpanzees and humans. ”
"You just said that the IQ of this Kraken clan is not lower than that of humans?" Xiao Fen was a little incredulous.
Huoyun glanced at her expressionlessly, and then did not hide his disdain, and said: "Rare and strange, the universe is so big, is there only one intelligent creature of humans?" This Kraken clan came here with the merman clan, their intelligence depends on the degree of evolution, it is roughly divided into three stages, distinguished by body size, the first stage is the juvenile stage, the wisdom of the Kraken clan at this stage is not high, the size is also very small, the body is fragile, there are many natural enemies, it is usually difficult to evolve to the second stage. ”
Then he said: "From the first stage to the second stage, it may take several years or even longer, the second stage of the Kraken Clan's body is close to the adult body of the king squid, at this time their IQ is already very high, they know how to avoid danger, use their own favorable conditions and environment to hunt and survive, living in the depths of the ocean is already a completely invincible existence, unless the rat moves the knife nest, other species can no longer threaten their lives." ”
The years she said were probably calculated in the manner of the mermaids.
Huoyun continued, "In the second stage, the Kraken Clan will enter the rapid growth stage, and the largest individual I have heard of has been recorded in ancient texts and passed down as myths and legends. ”
"In the unfathomable depths of the sea, the North Sea Monster is sleeping, it has been sleeping for centuries, and will continue to rest on the giant sea worm until one day the sea worm's flame warms the seabed, and both people and angels will witness it rise from the bottom of the sea with a roar, and everything on the surface of the sea will be destroyed. Evil said: "You mean the North Sea Monster?"
Huoyun nodded, "That's right, it's it, a huge kraken with a body diameter of one mile. He added: "The significant difference between the second stage of evolution and the third stage is that the latter will evolve a demon pill condensed from flesh and blood essence, that is, the life force, which is the most compensatory thing for the merman race." ”
"It sounds like a myth. Lu Shaofen frowned and said: "The body diameter is one mile, isn't it like an island, can any animal really grow so huge?"
In 1782, 10 British warships mysteriously disappeared in the northern Atlantic Ocean, and the fleet commander De Montfort survived, believing that it was attacked by a large octopus and sunk, this absurd statement was not recognized, and De Montfort's reputation was damaged and he was fired by the navy, and later starved to death in Paris. ”
He added: "The reason why the myth we understand is considered a myth may not be because of the absurdity of the story itself, but because of the shallowness of our knowledge. ”
Xiao Fen shook her head and said, "I still think it's incredible." ”
Li Muye said with a smile: "Do you remember the first time you saw the person living in the jar when you first entered the rivers and lakes? Before that, can you imagine that there are such people in the world? This is like a poor person who has struggled to make ends meet all his life, and it is impossible to imagine that someone would need to kill hundreds of birds at a time in order to eat a plate of fried bird's tongue." ”
"Do you mean that ignorance limits my imagination?" Xiao Fen said unconvinced: "This octopus is not a rare thing, it really has such a powerful life, and it has not occupied all the resources of the ocean a long time ago?"
Li Muye and the others also thought the same, since this Kraken clan was so powerful and lived in the depths of the vast and deep sea, if each of them could grow to the level of the North Sea Monster, even if the human race had more warships, they would probably not be able to fight against them at sea.
"No, it won't. Huoyun said: "Although the Kraken Clan is talented and intelligent, they have a great nature that restricts their population reproduction, that is, they like to kill each other, especially after entering the second stage, in order to get more life force and evolve the Demon Pill, they need a lot of blood food, so compared to other sea creatures, the same kind is their best choice for food." ”
Li Muye said suddenly: "It's no wonder, cannibalism, survival of the fittest, the big ones are getting bigger and bigger, and it is difficult for other krakens to have a chance to grow." ”
"I can't say I didn't have a chance, it's just that it's too hard. Huoyun said: "So I heard the second brother say that when we were in our home planet, the Kraken clan that evolved to the second stage, once the size exceeded the danger line, they would look for a relatively safe sea area with few creatures to survive, or simply take refuge in the powerful merman clan as a slave, otherwise it would be difficult to have a chance to evolve to the third stage, but once it evolved to the third stage, there were few rivals in the depths of the sea." ”
Long Gongming suddenly said: "When I was on the Schroeder, I was ordered to lead a team to catch something similar, that was in an abyss of 10,000 meters in the South Atlantic, when I caught a large octopus with a diameter of about 100 meters, weighing nearly five tons, at that time I just wanted to collect the genes of this creature, the boss knew that there were many strange things on the Schroeder, and the big octopus was killed and broken to make an octopus cake because it took up too much space." ”
Li Muye said with a smile: "Come on, this time I have found the source, if it is the Kraken clan on the other side, maybe it is the ancestor you caught on that side, this is the smell of you, and he came to you for revenge." ”
Huoyun Zhengse reminded: "The closer you get to the entrance of the ruins, the more difficult the living conditions, and when food is scarce, the average Kraken clan will not settle here, and those who have the ability to gain a foothold in such an area are at least the big demons with a body of hundreds of meters, and they have the opportunity to devour other powerful beings before they risk settling here." ”
Evil Lai was a little excited, and said, "Mr. Long, our weapon system shouldn't have a problem dealing with this thing, right?"
Long Gongming was just about to say it, but suddenly noticed that something was wrong with the radar scanning screen in front of him, and a submarine mountain peak found in the previous scan seemed to move!
