Chapter 111: Belated Rescue

"Are you all right?" Hua Feng, who came back to his senses from the scene in the literature, remembered that he seemed to have overlooked something.

"It's okay, where are we now? Just now we seem to have entered an inexplicable realm, completely indifferent to our own situation and safety, as if we have been completely cut off from the ability to think about reality. No matter what the road ahead is, but a mind is immersed in the past. Yun Meng followed Hua Feng to wake up.

"It's probably still near the North Atlantic, but I don't know exactly where it is, it's like an independent space, and I can't talk to the outside world at all, and I'm afraid it's really a bit difficult to leave here with our ability to be like ordinary people now. At this time, Li Long put away his impulse and turned to think about the current situation. At this time, he also found that it seemed as if his own vitality control had been somewhat restricted.

Bai Feng sat on the ground, trying to gather vitality, and after a while, he opened his eyes and said, "This place seems to have a limit on the rules of space, and if our ability is not as strong as the founder of this space, we will not be able to recover to our previous ability." ”

Wang Yue and Shuang Ning came over, and everyone formed a circular circle. In this enclosed space of more than ten square meters, everyone seems to have a little different physical and mental feelings, this transparent dome upward space should be pitch black if it is deep treatment on the seabed, but now it is bright as in the shallow sea, and the surrounding marine life is clearly visible. If it weren't for the creatures that could only be seen in the deep sea, they would not have the slightest doubt that they were in a private giant aquarium.

"Let's not act rashly, take care of your spirits, and see if there is a chance that the situation will turn around. Our disappearance, Captain Lin Chong and the headquarters will definitely find a way to come to the rescue, let's be at peace for the time being. Hua Feng comforted everyone's somewhat negative emotions.

After a moment, Hua Feng noticed that the outside environment was slowly changing, and the sea water that had been blocked was slowly escaping around the golden cage they were in. He knew that there were also many eels in the deep sea, such as Hastellocystopharyngeal and Widepharyngeal Fish. The fish has a slender body and a particularly large mouth. Some eel larvae swim into shallower water and return to deep water when they become adults.

Among the deep-sea fish, the number of individuals of the genus is the largest, the fish is small, only 5~6 cm long, the head is large, dark brown, and its gills can filter feed zooplankton. Do not form groups, keeping a distance of approximately 3 meters between specimens.

The surrounding area is full of huge octopuses swimming back and forth, and the scene is quite spectacular.

"Of the more than 1,000 species of oceanic fish, about 150 live in deep water. Among them, the largest number of species belong to the suborder Ankang of horns, with about 80 species. The head of a deep-sea monkfish has a stalk-like protrusion on the dorsal side of the head, and the top of the fish can be used as a bait and illumination. Big mouth. Females can weigh up to 6~8 kg, while males weigh only a few grams. The male's head burrows into the female's epidermis to absorb nutrients and form a small fissure, and the female spawns sperm in a bag for insemination. Monkfish do not form schools and keep a distance of about 30 meters between individuals.

In the deep sea, there are many species of near-bottom fish, and the individuals are also larger, such as the sleeping shark, which can reach 7 meters in length and live on predation. Some deep-sea fish are often able to swallow foods larger than themselves. There are few species of deep-sea cephalopods, and some octopuses are adapted to deep-sea life and have no eyes.

The benthic organisms are particularly evident.

The biomass of deep-benthic organisms decreases with water depth. At a water depth of 2000~3000 meters, there are many species of benthic organisms. As the water depth increases, its composition also changes, with shallow water species gradually replacing deep water species, usually at 200, 3000 and 6000 meters.

In the abyss above 10,000 meters, there are still benthic organisms, and the species that have been found are: foraminifera, sea anemones, polychaetes, isopods, telepods, valve gills and sea cucumbers. Hua Feng began the lecture on undersea knowledge, everyone listened boredly, they were like tigers with their teeth pulled out at the moment after losing their ability to control their vitality, they wanted to do something but they were too weak to do something.

"Are we in an abyss under the sea now?What the hell is this chaotic sea water and all kinds of benthic creatures?" Yun Meng scratched her hair, helplessly a little broken, Hua Feng patted her shoulder and comforted.

Bai Feng took over the conversation and continued to point to the piles of shiny creatures outside and explained: "Each class of the Echinoderm phylum has deep-sea species, most of them are benthic predators, and some starfish are carnivores, preying on foraminifera, polychaetes, and molluscs. In places where organic matter is abundant, sea cucumbers tend to be the dominant species, and the individuals are also large (some can reach 0.5 meters). Sea cucumbers that live in the deep sea have leaf-like "feet" or rows of sides*, which are suitable for crawling on soft mud.

The sea squirts of the deep sea also live sessilely, have long stalks, filter feed, and do not form groups. Some demersal fish, with their pelvic and caudal fins growing into rods, can support their bodies on soft mud or move slowly, like a deep-sea dogfish.

In 1977, the Alvin diving ball of the Woods Hole Marine Biology Laboratory in the United States discovered the hydrothermal vent biome in a fault zone at a depth of 2,550 meters, 300 kilometers northeast of the Galapagos Islands in the Pacific Ocean. The water temperature on the bottom of the sea in this area is about 20°C. Organisms are abundant, including links, crustaceans, molluscs, baried wrists, and fish.

Among them, the large tube-dwelling worm-like brachiae, with tubes up to 5 meters long and 4 centimeters in diameter, often clustered and dense up to 15 kilograms per square meter, large clam shells up to 25 centimeters long, as well as coelenterates, crustaceans and fish. In 1984, a similar biome was discovered at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean at 3,200 meters. The organisms of these communities grow fast and have a strong reproductive capacity.

Many deep-sea fish have large mouths and can devour food larger than themselves. There are also many deep-sea creatures, including many species of fish, as well as starfish, sea cucumbers, sea pens, sea anemones, etc., which can emit light. This not only serves as a decoy and frightens enemies, but also serves as a sign of mutual recognition. ”

"The question is, if we are in the deep sea now, why don't we feel any pressure at all?" Li Long wondered.

"Perhaps, we are not completely exposed to the deep sea, but just a trench at a normal depth. Based on our current sense of seafloor pressure, we should only be at a depth of about 1,000 meters. Because of the isolation of outer space, we are now under less than half the pressure in submarines. In addition, because of our cultivation, the ability of the strengthened body to adapt to various environments has also been strengthened. That's why I feel fine. Frost Ning thought for a moment and said what she thought.

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, we don't have to think so much, we should come sooner or later. Hua Feng found that there seemed to be some changes in his body, his spiritual power actually detected the periphery of the light curtain dome, and there vaguely seemed to be a large group of people approaching rapidly, according to his memory, he knew that the rather powerful aura in it should be Danqiu Sheng. Our people have finally arrived! Hua Feng's heart was as happy as finally seeing the sunshine after the storm.

He quickly gestured to inform everyone of the situation, and then everyone remained silent as if nothing had happened, quietly waiting for the moment to get out of the cage.
