Chapter 166: A Strange Fish

Continuing to go deeper, the cave was sometimes narrow, sometimes wide, and after walking for dozens of meters, Zhou Chen was faced with two choices.

The space here is relatively open, it is a very large underground cave room, there is a narrow passage on the stone wall on the right hand side, the more you go inside, the narrower it becomes, it is estimated that you have to climb forward when you get inside, giving people the feeling of a snake cave.

On the left is a deep pool, and the shadow's perspective can see several cracks at the bottom of the pool, connecting several underground waterways.

Two options: climb the snake cave on the right, or the waterway on the left?

There was no reason to talk about it, Zhou Chen could only rely on his intuition, and immediately chose the underground waterway.

For other explorers, even with very advanced diving equipment, the underground waterways are extremely dangerous, and the situation below is unpredictable, if it gets out of control, you don't know where it will be washed away by the undercurrent, and you will never come back.

Zhou Chen has a water control technique, he can survive in the water for a long time, and he still has five extra achievement points on his body, so it's a big deal, so he will upgrade the primary water control technique to the intermediate level, and he should be able to deal with all the problems.

In comparison, the secrets under the water should have never been explored, and they are more attractive to Zhou Chen.

I didn't say anything, take off my shoes, change into fins for diving, and put on a more wearable wetsuit, these basic equipment can be bought casually on Taobao.

With an underwater fighting knife strapped to his waist and a speargun that he had confiscated from the Horton brothers, it was pretty much it.

The perspective exploration of the shadow confirmed that there were no dangerous creatures in the water, and Zhou Chen slowly walked into the deep pool, in fact, it was just looking deep, and after diving three meters, it became a sideways trend. Turning through the curved underwater passage, I saw the cracks scattered in the stone wall.

Nothing to choose from. Only the width of one crack allowed Zhou Chen to get into. Unless, for a roulette draw now. And if you happen to be able to draw the Transfiguration reward, it will be possible to explore a few other narrower rifts.

But this probability is too small, and at this stage, Zhou Chen is not very interested in Transfiguration.

Squeeze into the crack little by little, the first few meters are more laborious, and the further back, the crack becomes wider and wider, and the speed of travel can become faster and faster.

It feels good!

Although exploring a completely unfamiliar place can be somewhat stressful. But this kind of pleasure that people can't do makes Zhou Chen have superhuman pride and satisfaction, it seems that there is no place on earth that he can't go, this is a kind of freedom from the heart.

Of course, he will not be blindly arrogant, he found some strange little creatures in the underground waterway, which he has never seen in books, Zhou Chen will not be stupid to offend them, who knows if these little guys are poisonous.

"The mysteries of nature are truly magical. Who would have thought that there would be such a wonderful underwater world deep underground. ”

The reason why Zhou Chen sighed like this was because the waterway in front of him suddenly widened, no. It should be said that it has drilled out of the waterway and entered an underground lake.

"Nothing strange."

"It might even connect to the sea, after all." The entire Mong Mountain is located on the coast. ”

"Let's look here."

Zhou Chen dived to the bottom of the water to facilitate further exploration of the shadow. There are no stones or even veins of blood jade hidden in the mud and sand below.

"Your instinct worth a pound of buns. Are there any further revelations? ”

The ghost's tone was implicitly funny, but in the next second, neither she nor Zhou Chen could laugh.

Call!

There was a black shadow gliding quickly in the deep water in front of the right, and because it was beyond the detection range of the ghost, it could only be vaguely perceived, it must be a living thing, and it was not small.

What is it?

Zhou Chen was also taken aback, and the speargun in his hand was quickly aimed in that direction.

If it's a dangerous creature, there's no doubt we've already broken into its territory.

After a minute, when it was not noticed again, the shadow judged, "Most likely, it is the first time it has encountered a creature like you, and it is also full of vigilance, and has been watching you from a distance. ”

Vigilance is an instinct of any kind of living being, not a human being.

Zhou Chen knew that the so-called observation must be temporary, as long as it was a carnivorous creature, sooner or later it would try to attack itself.

"It doesn't feel like it's a very fast swimmer, and it's not necessarily more flexible than you in the water."

The shadow's further analysis immediately weakened Zhou Chen's nervousness a lot.

It is also reasonable, after all, the openness of the underground world is limited, and the narrow space restricts the pursuit of speed by underwater creatures, and if the swimming champion in the ocean is trapped here and grows up slowly, its natural ability in this aspect will naturally deteriorate.

If you don't swim as fast as me, you're afraid of an egg!

Zhou Chen took the water control technique to the extreme, swished out more than ten meters, and then turned extremely flexibly, cruising back and forth in the water a few times, deliberately showing off to the mysterious creature: If you want to provoke me, check your own weight first.

I'm not afraid to confront it head-on, I'm afraid that where it lurks, it will suddenly come out and bite itself. In horror films, this situation is also the most terrifying, so Zhou Chen will be such a deliberate provocation.

Call!

The thing seemed to be enraged, and sprang out of the crack in the distant stone wall, and swam around demonstratively, but shrank back again.

However, it was still clearly seen by the shadow, a strange fish more than two meters long, with a flat and translucent body.

The slightly wide mouth shows two rows of sharp teeth, which is enough to prove that this guy is definitely not a vegetarian.

"It seems to be an abyssal silverfish, of course, its earth name is certainly not this ......"

"It's too small, though, and I'm a little unsure," said Shadow. ”

"Is this called being too small?"

Zhou Chen felt that this kind of evaluation was simply a joke.

With a hideous face and a row of spikes on his back, the guy looks like a heavily armed underwater killer, and the great white shark, the overlord of the sea, will look cute compared to it.

"On other planets, the Abyssal Silverfish can grow to more than twenty meters, which is quite ferocious."

"But it's possible that this guy is trapped underground, limited space, and a shortage of food have limited its growth, and its physical appearance has also changed a bit...... You take out an underwater searchlight and shine it, and if its body can turn silver when it encounters light, it is a whitebait. ”

Zhou Chen immediately took out the searchlight for diving, imported goods, spent more than 4,000, the brightness was very strong, and as soon as it was turned on, it illuminated a large area under the water.

Swish!

When the strange fish saw the light, it was immediately frightened and immediately hid in the darkness farther away.

"It's a whitebait!"

The Phantom Shadow was sure that its body had changed color when it saw the light, and immediately said, "You have two choices now, the first is to slaughter it and eat meat, which is very good for your body, which is equivalent to a physical strengthening; The second is to tame it and turn it into your water pet. ”

"Tame it? Is it possible? ”

Zhou Chen didn't have much interest in eating it, isn't it just a physique enhancement that can be done with a little achievement value, and he can't kill it for this little thing, no matter how he says it, it is also a life, and it sounds like a relatively advanced creature. People stay here honestly, and they don't provoke anyone.

The next words of the shadow made Zhou Chen even more reluctant to eat it: "Some people also call it the Deep Sea Silver Dragon, this thing has evolved to a certain extent, and its combat effectiveness in the water is no less than that of the Jiaolong, and the deepest sea area on the earth can come and go freely." How's that, interested in it? (To be continued.) )
