Chapter 52
Far from the coast, continental shelf, and currents, in the middle of the ocean, there is a huge "Sea of Death" with almost no fish or large creatures, and only here are some ecosystems on the bottom of the deep sea. And the sea dragon decided to venture directly south from here.
However, he couldn't shake off the ship that had been chasing him behind him, and basically the current research on the sea dragon, mainly the study of animal behavior, was rewritten again and again, and this thing did not look like a territorial left-behind animal, nor did it have decent migratory behavior, but everything acted more like a human, mixed around......
Thanks to the monitoring of the helicopter, the whereabouts of this sea dragon did not disappear from the monitoring chart of the Hope Star, and now the chase has become a little easier. There are no large creatures in this large area of the ocean, so it is much easier to track the sea dragon with sonar. Although even the highly sensitive sonar is difficult to detect when the sea dragon dives deeply, as long as the sea dragon still needs to float to breathe, it will not be able to escape.
But it was still very difficult to catch him, because Hong Long simply did not show his head, although the speed of the Hope Star was very fast, much faster than the speed of the sea dragon, but it was indeed difficult to judge the direction when the sea dragon was diving, and it could only approach when the sea dragon was floating - and this sea dragon also changed direction from time to time.
The sea dragon is a nuisance, but with the huge profits behind him, the pharmaceutical companies are ready to continue to spend with him. On the other side, the giant sea turtles in the Atlantic and Caribbean Sea are a sight to behold, and although it is very, very difficult to see, it is not completely hopeless as long as it is stormy weather. There is such a spectacle on the ocean - just a short distance away, one is stormy and the other is calm or windy but no rain. So someone did take pictures of giant sea turtles in the wind and rain.
It has been recognized that large sea turtles are harmless. Melville whales are also known to be common whales that prey on the ocean's large cephalopods. Giant megalodons, humans are not one of the targets in the diet of these creatures, they are used to hunting whales, and the Norwegians and RB fishermen have a serious conflict with them, but because these sharks are mainly active in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean or Indian Ocean, the Norwegians are more unlucky.
Rather sinister are the not-so-remarkable giant sea crabs, which eat almost anything and can even filter the seawater through their mouthparts to fill their stomachs. Therefore, the reproduction rate of these big crabs is very fast, and fishermen will catch these delicious big crabs at the same time, and they will be clamped by these crabs if they are not careful, and the power of these pliers is comparable to that of hydraulic tongs, cutting off hands and feet. If you clamp the human waist, it is two cuts...... So on the contrary, these crabs, which have lids the size of small round tables, have become the most likely creatures to cause death or injury at work.
Not to mention the superior predators attracted by crabs - large Pacific octopuses and squid..... These plus tentacles casually have a ten-meter-long soft sea monster and don't mind dragging a person down for a change of taste, although it may not taste good after two bites, but basically this person is almost drowned or bitten to death.
But whether it's crabs or octopus squid, they all have one characteristic, that is, they are delicious! So there are still many people who take risks to catch these high-priced seafood, perhaps in their eyes humans are terrible land monsters.
As for the oversized shellfish, these things the size of a round table were never considered sea monsters, but it was not worth catching them, and the meat was still very old after the effort of dragging them up.....
There are only two truly fierce names - the Sea Demon Chapter and the Sea Dragon. These are all terrible sea monsters that have caused hundreds of deaths and injuries, and the Sea Demon Chapter is even more terrifying, because it simply feeds on people, and it does not die......
Hong Long and the Hope Star have been circling the sea for a month, and the other party has to sail to the western Pacific to replenish supplies, so he has to give up this time to hunt down the sea dragon, and someone may have to take the leadership responsibility for this.
Hong Long himself didn't care what happened to the boat that captured him, because he made an astonishing discovery. He had been approaching the Central Pacific Ocean for a month, and his body was covered with barnacles and the like from his long-term swimming, and his constant swimming had caused him to suffer from extreme physical exhaustion. But here he found a series of large underwater ruins, as if pyramid-shaped man-made structures were full of pits and valleys, interspersed with strange structures with strange shapes that looked like twisted conch shells.
And on these buildings, Hong Long also found patterns that may be words, and there are many of them, especially on the surface of those bizarre slender and rotating buildings, and many of these patterns are repeated, probably the same sentence.
Hong Long can't understand these patterns, this is very normal, he was just an ordinary otaku when he was still a human, and he was not a technical language analysis otaku, and he could remember some mysterious ancient legends - for example, pseudoscience such as the mysterious forty-nine fans seen in the Pentagon series of books is already good. Basically, he also thinks that this place may be the "Mu Continent", because the pseudo-scientific range of the Mu Continent happens to be here, and the Central Pacific Ocean is the northern end of this continent.
These patterns all seemed to have a mysterious power, and Hong Long didn't dare to look closely, because he would get dizzy when he tried to look at them, and then it seemed as if there was a suction force sucking his "soul", so he didn't dare to look closely after the first time.
But for a long time, these words have always been entangled in Hong Long's mind, and he doesn't even dare to fall asleep, Hailong can not sleep for a long time, because his brain can rest in turns like a dolphin, but he needs to really fall asleep after all. Just a few days after he had completely shaken off the boat, Hong Long finally couldn't resist falling asleep for the first time in a month and a half.
This is because he found a small deserted island in the sea left behind by the eruption of an undersea volcano, which is made up of coral sand and ash and a small crater. The area is about 100 square meters, and half of Hong Long's body can rest on his stomach.
The surrounding area is about a few square kilometers of shallow sea more than ten meters deep, and the one close to the desert island is only a few tens of centimeters to a few meters deep.
When he fell asleep, like a human, Hong Long knew that he could also dream. But this time it was as if he had been caught by a dark and distorted nightmare, and the strange patterns and words swirled in his dream, making strange sounds, and finally the voices resonated, and in the dream Hong Long seemed to understand their meaning, "L'Alaye is waiting for you to dream!"
