Chapter 324: Unknown Threat

The next day was sunny and sunny, and it was a bright and good weather, which was suitable for carrying out treasure hunting work.

Two cutlets of meat were fried with large pieces of whale meat from killer whales, topped with vegetables brought from the land, and the main meal was simply served with slices of bread. By the way, I burned a little fish fillet porridge, and a nutritious breakfast was considered alive.

Shi Lei got up and moved his body, and when the water temperature was warmer, he put on his diving equipment, brought all the underwater searchlights and various protective tools and prepared to go into the water. A sharp titanium diving knife and an underwater speargun must be brought.

It is unrealistic to expect hostile creatures encountered in the water to rely on their body skills to nimbly dodge them. Water creatures are much more flexible than you, and it's more reliable to rely on attacks.

This first trip into the water was mainly for exploration. So other small bits and pieces, such as thickened waterproof sealed bags, that are used to carry possible harvests, will have to wait until they are really sure that there is a treasure. If you take it now, you may be able to hang Shi Lei on some obstacle.

After finally making sure that the equipment on his body was in good condition, Shi Lei made an OK posture to Laura. Leaning back, he went straight into the water.

After a short distance towards the water, a member of the killer whale family came to Shi Lei's side. Shi Lei reached out and grabbed the killer whale's strong dorsal fin, and quickly dived to the location of the wreck with the killer whale's body.

It's convenient to have the help of the animal assistant, and how much body and time is saved. It also saves oxygen, which is really a very cost-effective thing. Although Shi Lei deliberately prepared a lot of oxygen cylinders on the yacht.

After all, if there is really a big harvest on this trip, one or two trips will definitely not be able to do it, and you must be prepared to fight a protracted war.

When Shi Lei came to this wreck that haunted him, he finally saw the true face of this wreck. Although it has been crawled with various aquatic plants and shellfish, you can still see some of the original appearance.

Judging from the few things that stretched out that seemed to be cannons, the force of this ship should have been not low back then. But manpower is sometimes exhausted, in the face of the power of nature. A galleon is not enough to see after all.

The position where it was supposed to be the main mast had been broken, but the mast was not seen nearby, and it looked like it should have been torn off by the wind and waves. And the reason for the shipwreck, it seems that most of the reason for the shipwreckage was also due to the sudden attack of the storm, and there were several large holes on the ship that should not have appeared.

When Shi Lei was concentrating on the shape of the sailboat, a huge black shadow slowly floated out of one of the large holes. From the outside, it looks like a huge floating sea stone, and the color is indistinguishable from the surrounding area of the wreck, and it is impossible to find its existence without looking closely.

And when it was about 10 meters away from Shi Lei, it had a huge tentacle. Slowly approached Shi Lei's body from behind, and then suddenly rolled up Shi Lei and sent it to his mouth.

If someone else comes, at this time, I will definitely shout in my heart: "I really encountered extreme cold!" Then he ran away frantically, but most of the time it would become a dish in the other person's mouth. And Shi Lei, naturally this will not be the case.

Although the tentacle sent Shi Lei to the other party's mouth, it was actually just to make it easier for it to rub Shi Lei with his huge head.

Yes, this big octopus, which looks like a deep-sea monster in the extreme deep cold, is the underwater killer weapon that Shi Lei has successfully transformed, and now it should be regarded as a relatively mature king squid.

Its tentacles are over 10 meters long. And the dense suction cups on each tentacle are about 10 centimeters in diameter. Although it is not a large individual among the king squid, it is suitable to explore the wreck.

Octopuses are actually a very intelligent species, and they grow up with everything they need to experience and learn by themselves. Whether it's predatory skills or hiding from predators, etc.

And their learning speed can be said to be frightening, probably due to the existence of many neurons in the body, as well as the simulated intelligence of their tentacles, which means that each of their tentacles actually has a certain intelligence. That's why these guys learn so quickly.

The only thing that restricts their intellectual development is that their lives are too short. The average octopus only has a lifespan of 3 to 5 years, but for the king squid. This estimate is not very tenable.

Judging from their huge size, it is estimated that the big ones that are less than ten meters long in three or five years are not rare in their family, but it should be said that there is still a big gap between them and the real largest individual.

Because scientists have seen the largest circular scar ever left by the king squid from the body of a whale, that is, the scar left by the king squid after sucking out the flesh of the whale with a suction cup.

And the diameter of the disc mark is more than 40 centimeters, which means that the length of the big guy must be more than 60 meters. It's definitely a sea monster-level big guy, and it's not a problem to stage a terrifying image like the extreme deep cold. If you think about it, a 40-centimeter suction cup is more than the width of an ordinary person's body.

But the good thing is that this guy hasn't been confirmed yet. In addition, some scientists have put forward a more reassuring explanation, that is, the whale was actually attacked by the king squid when it was a child, but the wound also grew together as the whale grew, so it will now become a large disc scar with a diameter of 40 cm.

This is somewhat reassuring, and many people prefer to believe such an explanation. But in any case, we should still retain some reverence for nature.

Due to the command of the octopus's 8 tentacles, it is very agile and nimble, and even manipulates tools to open sealed cans and bottle to hunt creatures in it. This is also an important reason why Shi Lei will ask it to come to help.

There are a lot of cabins in this shipwreck, because the size of this shipwreck is really not small, and with its help, the exploration of many cabins will save a lot of trouble. At least open the hatch, this job is at least 8 times more efficient than Shi Lei, who made it have 8 long brachiopods.

With this killer feature, Shi Lei's courage became stronger and stronger. With this guy exploring the cabin in front, and the killer whale family helping to sweep the formation, I think there should be nothing that can threaten Shi Lei's safety.

By the way, this killer baby actually has a name. Because of its camouflage ability. It can be transformed into sand and gravel in the water (brother wronged you, the killer name is given to you), so its name is called sand and gravel. I hope this guy is just turning sand and stones, and he doesn't like to do stupid things.

Let the king squid Shashi walk in front, Shi Lei carefully hid behind it. The sand and gravel dived back from the pit where it had appeared. Judging from the news that Shi Lei got from it, this guy has already opened up part of this path.

The main reason is that its head is too big to get in from any other way. I could only enter from this large hole in the hull of the ship, probably because of the storm. Just right inside, you will find the various cabins.

After Shi Lei and Shashi's bodies were not in the hull, the killer whale family began to patrol the top of the big hole to prevent other threatening creatures from entering the big hole.

And Shi Lei entered the big hole. He turned off the underwater searchlight in his hand, because the sand and gravel in front of him had turned into a huge blue lantern. Its eight brachiopods and its large head glowed blue, very bright but not dazzling.

Obviously, Shi Lei transformed the luminescent ability of the fluorescent squid to Shashi, which must be very useful for Shashi who lives in the deep sea most of the time.

Similar to the methods used by monkfish and small fluorescent squid, luminescence itself is an important predatory skill for deep-sea creatures. At this time, of course, it is also very meaningful for Shi Lei, that is, to let Shi Lei save the power supply of the searchlight.

Shi Lei looked forward along the blue light on the sand and stones, and found that this place happened to be facing a corridor, with a slip cabin on each side, and the doors of many cabins in front of him had been opened.

This is what Shi Lei took advantage of the opportunity to go into the water yesterday to sue sรน sand and stones. Let it open all the cabins in the area it can reach first, making sure there are no dangerous animals inside.

Such an action is easy for the sandstone, and even if it doesn't start with, it can understand how to open it with a little fumbling.

Therefore, Shi Lei only needs to swim forward with the movement of the sand and stones. It's good to check the situation in each cabin. Shashi very intimately put the longest wrist and foot on Shi Lei's side, Shi Lei went in to check which cabin, and Shashi stretched out the big lantern to show Shi Lei the way.

The few cabins closest to the outer wall of the hull are nothing out of the ordinary. It looks like a cabin for a normal crew. There are two-tiered beds inside, the space is cramped, and the grade is not high at first glance.

However, Shi Lei still carefully went in and rummaged through them all. Except for some rotten and unsightly bedding and clothes, nothing of value was found.

However, when he saw the fourth cabin, Shi Lei was startled as soon as he entered. He spit out a lot of bubbles in his mouth, and swam out of the cabin with all his might, almost drinking all the seawater into his mouth.

The reason why Shi Lei was so nervous was because he saw a completely decomposed corpse in this cabin, which should be a skeleton to be precise.

There are still tattered strips of cloth on his body, and he is also holding a metal table knife in his hand, which at first glance looks like a resurrected skeleton soldier, giving Shi Lei a jump.

This was the first time Shi Lei had seen a complete skeleton in reality, and he was still holding a weapon, so he was naturally taken aback. But when Shi Lei ran outside the cabin, he finally calmed down. What is there about this skeleton, there is no real danger.

However, just when Shi Lei was about to go back and continue to check the situation inside, he felt Shi Lei's nervous sand and gravel, and had already put his wrists and feet into this cabin.

Well, there's nothing scary in there now, and it's all in a pile of rags.

Shi Lei faced the unknown deceased in his heart, and after silently saying sorry, he planned to continue to explore deeply with Shashi.

At this moment, Shi Lei's eye caught a black line, which shot at one of Shashi's wrists and feet like a sharp arrow off the string.

Sha Shi's body then trembled, and after squirting out a large cloud of ink, he used the longest wrist and foot that had been following Shi Lei to roll up Shi Lei and rush out of the wreck. (To be continued......) R1292
