Chapter 169: It's Out
It's not bad, it took a few hours for Zhou Chen to chisel through two rock walls and take out two pieces of blood jade. This is due to the fact that the rock where the second piece of blood jade is buried is loose, and when a pickaxe goes down, a large piece falls down with a bang, almost making himself flash.
The aura in the two pieces of blood jade was less than one-third, the shallowest burial was the most ruthlessly absorbed by the silverfish, and the other ones buried deeper were in a much better situation.
The difference is that these two pieces of blood jade are basically the same size and volume as the one Zhou Chen obtained before, although the shape is slightly different, but they are about the same size as an adult man's fist.
Obviously, this is not a coincidence, the naturally formed jade cannot be so uniform, and Zhou Chen prefers to believe that they are artificially buried here.
Who did this to you? Hominids tens of thousands of years ago?
Primitive people don't seem to have this ability, bury jade in it, and still glue large pieces of rock back with saliva?
However, he didn't bother to solve the case, because the judgment of the shadow was that the formation of these rocks was by no means a matter of tens of thousands of years, and it must be traced back to a very, very early and very ancient time.
We're not archaeologists, so why bother with something that happened in ancient times.
Counting the time, it should be Sunday morning, and it is said that another piece of blood jade can be chiseled, but there is no need for that, plus the original piece, there are already three pieces in his hand, which is enough for his own cultivation for two or three months, and there is no need to spend those bullish efforts with pickaxes.
More importantly, we have to find a way out of the ocean, so that the silverfish can return to the sea, and maybe a thicker rock wall will have to be excavated, so we must have enough time and stamina.
Such a big fish, it is definitely not possible to carry it by land, and before it runs out of Mengshan, it will die of a fart.
Moreover, the underground waterways are filled with fresh water. The ocean is salt water, the living environment is completely different, and no matter how perverted the adaptability of the abyssal silverfish is, there must be a gradual process of change.
"Let's go!"
Zhou Chen patted the silver fish's head: "Let me show you, what is the real world." ”
The whitebait immediately followed, having resisted the temptation of endless delicacies. Now there is a curiosity about the vast world described by Zhou Chen, and more fear.
Fear is a biological instinct, not timid, just like a wild man who walks out of the mountains, he will feel afraid when he sees anything in the metropolis, but on its territory, it is not polite to rob a woman from a civilized society to go back to be a wife.
The underground waterways are intricate, like a labyrinth. But it's always right to follow the main direction of the water, and there must be an outlet to the outside world for the groundwater to flow out.
Meandering for a few kilometers, the first obstacle was encountered.
It felt like a dead end, there was no road ahead, all black rock walls, but you could still feel the flow of water.
Following the ghost's guidance, Zhou Chen found a narrow gap. The width is less than ten centimeters, but it is quite narrow and long. From top to bottom, the huge rock wall is carved out.
The silverfish swam back and forth around Zhou Chen a few times, and expressed to Zhou Chen with its relatively simple thinking: It has been to this place, but the gap is too small for it to get through.
It was born here, unaware that there was a wider world out there. I only think that this is the place where I should be, so I don't have the desire to break out, and I'm just a little curious about this kind of crack, and I don't know how to desperately try to find a way out.
"Just a little fool!"
Zhou Chen patted its head and said a word about the frog at the bottom of the well. Then let it dodge, and Lao Tzu had to work again.
took out an iron pickaxe, slammed thump, and slammed into the chisel, and changed his right hand to his left hand when he was tired...... He has strengthened his physique twice, his limb coordination has been greatly enhanced, and even if he is not left-handed, the flexibility of his left hand is not much worse than that of his right hand.
Fortunately, fortunately, the rocks on the cracks are very crunchy, chiseled more than ten centimeters on the left, more than ten centimeters on the right, plus the original width, you can drill through it sideways.
This crack is in the shape of an inner triangle, only the front is more than a meter narrower, and then there is a tendency to get wider and wider, Zhou Chen spent more than two hours, and finally carved out a passage that barely passed.
If you can pass it on your own, the whitebait can, because it is a flat body, like a sharp serrated knife.
After the crack, it became a slightly wider waterway again, and as he swam, Zhou Chen faintly heard a strange hum.
The sound was small and small, but it was no longer the original dead silence of the underground waters.
"The sound of the waves!"
Zhou Chen laughed and said to the silverfish: "Do you hear it, this is the sound of the sea." “
The whitebait is not fast, but its body twists a lot, and it seems a little restless. Despite the fact that it has a pair of fairly agile eyes, its vision has largely deteriorated, and the Shadow says it will take a long time to recover. As a result, its sense of smell and hearing is quite perverted, and it is extremely sensitive to the vibrations produced by sound waves.
As a human being, the faint hum that I perceive should be similar to thunder in my ears to its sensory system.
This also needs to be slowly adapted, and it is estimated that it will have to live in the underground waterway for a long time, treat this place as its home, and gradually extend its survival time in the sea little by little.
Boom Boom Boom Boom ......
Further on, the sound of the waves crashing against the reef was already loud, and it was clear that the exit to the ocean was ahead.
Zhou Chen originally thought that the stronger and stronger sonic vibrations would make the silverfish show some unbearable reactions to go crazy and crazy, but on the contrary, the louder the sound, it seemed to gradually calm down.
Is this adapting?
Adaptability is too perverted, right?
"No, it's not."
"It's just found another way to perceive the outside world, like humans wearing earplugs to protect their hearing. Don't underestimate the survival instinct of animals, especially such advanced animals as the Abyssal Silverfish. ”
There was a bright light in front of it, albeit faintly, but it was quite conspicuous to the previous pitch black.
Zhou Chen sped up and passed through the hole, and the water temperature outside was very different.
When you come out, there is the sea outside, and the outlet of the underground waterway is located more than five meters below the sea surface, and it should be a cliff on the coastline.
But the silverfish did not dare to rush out at once, it carefully poked its head out at the outlet of the waterway, and quickly retracted it.
The outside world is so terrifying, it can keenly perceive that it will die not long after it goes out.
The seawater is equivalent to poison to it, and if it wants to accept this toxicity, it must gradually adapt.
But fortunately, the Abyssal Silverfish can survive in any kind of water source, and the deeper the water, the greater its growth potential, hence the word 'Abyss' in its name. (To be continued.) )
