In a dimly lit area filled with black water—

Before Nicole could pick up what Lloyd meant, he was almost completely unconscious......

The terrifying creature that the Russian officer spoke of seemed to be hiding in a dark corner, watching them closely, ready to strike at any moment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this moment, a pair of glowing balls surfaced in the black water, alternating between green and yellow light......

The Russian officer's expression changed drastically, and he immediately took Adana back several steps!

Nicole's brows were tightly locked, and Adana had translated so much just now that Nicole had always thought it was a strange plant-type creature.

But what is emerging from the black water is not a plant at all, but a mutated fish!

This creature has a large head and a thin tail, a round body and a thin tail, and its body surface is covered with silver-gray scales.

On the front of the head, near the eyes, below the lateral line of the body, and on the caudal peduncle, there are circular luminaires arranged in rows or groups.

It seems that the light that emanated from the black wood vine forest just now actually emanated from this fish's luminous device!

It's just that the black fog is so heavy that the light is constantly refracted in the fog, resulting in the illusion that the light will appear in the air......

The head of this fish has only surfaced for a while, and its head can already be clearly seen.

Judging by its head, it was at least the size of a sedan!

At this time, the luminous device of this mutant fish emits various colors such as red, blue, and purple, and when viewed from a distance, it is fluorescent and colorful, like a brilliant lantern.

When it flicked its tail, it made a black splash, and Nicole saw that it had a glowing chaser on its tail, much like a car's taillights......

Nicole held Lloyd to avoid being splashed by the unknown black water.

Lloyd also gradually regained a little consciousness during this time, although his whole body was a little uncontrollably dehydrated, but at least he could open his eyes and speak......

The mutant fish slammed the black water surface several times with its glowing tail, and splashed many black water splashes......

When Lloyd saw this strange creature, he couldn't help but complain: "Where did you get such a big lanternfish!?" ”

Although his voice was softer and weaker, it suddenly made Nicole notice that this mutant fish was indeed very similar to a lanternfish!

It's just that the mutated lanternfish is many times larger than the normal lanternfish, and it is not the lanternfish in Nicole's cognition at all......

"It's not a lanternfish, is it?" Nicole blinked, she couldn't believe that there was such a huge lanternfish, it was a little too terrifying.

"You can see it by looking at its epidermis – the luminaire is a group of skin gland cells that specialize into luminescent cells." Lloyd glanced at the mutated lanternfish in the black water near the platform, smashing its tail against the black water.

Nicole took a closer look, and indeed the huge mutant creature in front of her should be the lanternfish that Lloyd said......

"Its cells secrete a phosphium-containing glandular fluid, which can be oxidized by oxygen in the blood, and the fluorescence emitted in the oxidation reaction is the light emitted by the lanternfish. You can't go wrong. Lloyd said with certainty, and he was also a little surprised, the mutated lanternfish must be too big......

"There are about 100 species of lanternfish in the world, and they generally live in the deep sea. Why did this variant end up in an aerial psychiatric prison!? The black water isn't that deep......" Nicole asked, incredulous.

"Its glow is a survival adaptation to the dark deep-sea environment. In the dark depths of the sea, the light they emit can be used to lure prey bait, confuse enemies, and lure the opposite sex to facilitate group life. Lloyd looked at the head of the mutated lanternfish, which was constantly flashing with strange points of light.

"......" Nicole suddenly had a bad premonition, when she heard Lloyd say that the light emitted by the lanternfish is also good for living in groups, which means ......

Before the goddess had time to think about it, a little light flickered in the darkness in all directions, like bright stars in the night.

It is somewhat reassuring to see such a light source in the dark, but if it is a tempting trap cast by a predator, then this light source can kill people......

Soon, they were surrounded by this dense point of light, and from the nearby black water, many mutated lanternfish also appeared.

They were all lapping against the black water, as if they were performing some kind of pre-dinner ritual......

Perhaps it was because Lloyd was in a groggy state just now, and now he was completely "woken" by the noise of slapping on the black water.

After staring at the mutated lanternfish seriously, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Even the Russian officer had never seen such a scene, and he was quite nervous to protect Adana, and took out the military dagger, ready to deal with these mutated monsters at any time!

Seeing the contrast between the expressions of the Russian officer and Lloyd, the goddess was a little puzzled: "Could it be that Lloyd's schizophrenia has caused him not to know what fear is?" Or is he confident that he will be able to get out of the situation? ”

Lloyd saw Nicole's puzzled eyes and smiled: "It's good to be a lanternfish, this type of fish, even if it is mutated, in general, it should still belong to the docile type, maybe they are just giving us some information now, not a declaration of war." ”

Adana, who was terrified on the sidelines, felt that this man was after hearing what Lloyd said—if they were docile, how could these mutated lanternfish slap the black water so hard!?

"We're all getting there, but we're blocked by these guys, they're splashing black water endlessly, how do we get there!?" Nicole said anxiously.

One is that Lloyd's condition is not ideal, the goddess can feel that Lloyd's body is cold, and the other is that after the shower just now, it also makes the goddess feel that her skin is cold......

If this stalemate continues, it will be such a short journey, and it may end before the end of life......

"It's okay, let's move on. It's a lanternfish, and if it's an anglerfish, we're really in trouble......" Lloyd looked around for a moment to make sure the situation wasn't that dire, and nodded at Nicole.

The thief Adana heard this, too, and she didn't believe what Lloyd said, because she knew men too well - when they encountered things beyond their knowledge, men would always pretend to know everything, and then swear to pat their chests and promise, when in fact they didn't understand anything! But still want to dominate!

Besides, Adana, who has a lot of eyes, she is not blind, but when she saw the Russian officer who brought her here, she also looked very nervous at this time!

In other words, the current situation is obviously very dangerous! (To be continued.) )
