With Zero's explanation, Wei Lingdong finally understood the difference between the physical awakening of the ability and the evolution of the ability.

To put it simply, the awakening of the flesh has the potential to produce abilities, which are like by-products and surprises of awakening. The evolution of the ability is a by-product of the re-promotion.

"Then you just said that another frequency was detected, and it was not caused by temporary contact with the microend, what is the reason?" Wei Lingdong asked.

"The signal was very weak, and it disappeared in the moment when it was connected to the old man's mental field in Crow Valley, and I didn't have time to detect it at all. You know, the field is created and disappeared at the speed of light, that is, 300,000 kilometers per second, where do I have such a fast tracking speed?! Zero complained.

Wei Lingdong didn't take it to heart about the suspicion of No. Zero, and since he couldn't ask why, he immediately gave up.

At this time, the research craft had gone 1,500 meters underwater. Echolocation shows that there are still more than 730 meters from the seabed directly below.

The variable protective suit provided Wei Lingdong with good protection, and he could barely feel the huge pressure of the sea water and the water temperature close to zero at this time. This powerful equipment even made him suspect that even an ordinary person could enter this depth of water after wearing it.

In the boundless deep sea, the scientific research boat is not stable. The mutated sea beasts were able to move freely in almost all water layers, and the tiger shark was no longer as leisurely as it had been when it was first subdued, and it flew up and down around the dinghy and Wei Lingdong. The terrifying body disturbed the sea, and from time to time, large and small mutated fish and shrimp were stunned by its giant tail and swallowed into their mouths.

Wei Lingdong vaguely sensed that as it devoured, the energy in his body was slowly increasing.

Since most of the sea beasts will become more violent and bloodthirsty after mutating, they basically have strong phototaxis, which brings great convenience to the predation of tiger sharks. The two headlights on the belly of the scientific research boat, like purple lights to trap mosquitoes and flies, kept mutated sea beast moths rushing over like fires, but then tragically reduced to the rations of tiger sharks. This giant shark seemed to be the overlord of this sea, and in less than 20 minutes, it had devoured more than a dozen mutated sea beasts, large and small.

However, as the depth increases, the number of mutated sea beasts gradually decreases. By about 200 meters near the seabed, the tiger shark had stopped feeding and could no longer catch a single piece of food.

The research boat no longer sinks, but is suspended 200 meters from the seabed.

Wei Lingdong asked Zero to drive the robot and pull him straight to the bottom of the sea.

The bright light on the robot's head is turned on, illuminating the silt layer on the seabed. At a depth of more than 2,200 meters, the water is already barren, and no plants can grow under this water pressure. Only a few bizarre-looking invertebrates occasionally show their semi-hidden figures. They feed mainly on plankton and other fish carcasses or feces that fall from the upper part of the ocean.

Nearly half an hour passed, and Zero controlled the robot and pulled Wei Lingdong to search the sea within a radius of two kilometers, but found nothing, not even the wreckage of the military transport robot that fell before.

"What's going on? Didn't you say you could sense it at around 500 meters? ”

Wei Lingdong's relatively optimistic mood gradually sank at this time, and he and the robot stopped searching at a huge crater at the bottom of the sea.

"How do I know! Anything can happen in the middle of nowhere! It is possible that an undercurrent at the bottom of the sea pushed the ball far away, or it could even be an earthquake that fell into a fault zone. You don't know that this is located on the active Pacific Rim volcanic seismic zone! Zero couldn't help but complain.

"You've also heard what Crow Valley said before, without the spirit ball, if the Tiandu Ling Chen family really attacks, then I'm afraid none of us will be able to save our lives!" Wei Lingdong said in a deep voice.

"Let's not talk about the Chen family of Tiandu Tomb! I don't know how many demons and monsters will appear in this year's ability competition! Don't think about things that far away, and deal with the competition first! ”

Zero's words made Wei Lingdong suddenly suspicious.

He frowned slightly and asked, "Did you find something on the smart net?" ”

"It's just a few words, and it's hard for me to make judgments. But one thing I know for sure is that this year's ability competition is definitely not as simple as it seems, and the victory or defeat involves such a huge distribution of power and benefits! Be prepared for a tough fight! Zero's tone was unprecedentedly serious.

Its words made Wei Lingdong's mood sink again. Although Zero refuses to reveal what he has captured, it is very revealing in itself to let this superintelligent body, who has never been serious, speak in such a serious tone!

"Let's go a little further and probe two laps!" Wei Lingdong's idea of salvaging the Vientiane Spirit Ball became even more urgent.

Suddenly!

In his ears, the communicator heard Crowvalley exclaiming, "Help! ”

Wei Lingdong's cold hair exploded violently!

Although Crow Valley is quite restricted in the deep sea, but with the powerful mutant tiger shark by his side, it stands to reason that nothing can threaten him, but at this time he is shouting for help!

As soon as the exclamation sounded in his ears, the blue robot was already rushing upward.

Crow Valley has been positioning Wei Lingdong to keep the research boat directly above him. The water in the deep sea was extremely clean, and Wei Lingdong looked up and saw a hazy light and shadow 200 meters away, which was the light of the searchlight on the belly of the dinghy.

When he rose to a distance of about 150 meters, Wei Lingdong's pupils suddenly shrank!

On the opposite side of the soybean-sized dinghy, a black shadow like a hill appeared, almost blending in with the pitch-black background. A red blood flower appeared in front of the black shadow, slowly spreading.

By the time the distance reached sixty or seventy meters, the line of sight had become clear.

Wei Lingdong finally saw clearly, it was a whale! An ancient troll-like whale!!

It was holding the sixteen or seventeen-meter-long mutant tiger shark in its mouth! The terrifying bite almost broke the tiger shark into two pieces, and red blood was oozing from the huge wound in the tiger shark's abdomen. Looking at the situation, the tiger shark's two skills, bite enhancement and giant shark tail, didn't seem to have time to use it at all, and it was caught by this terrifying giant whale!

Almost without any hesitation, Wei Lingdong unleashed the ability of spatial exploration. And at the same time as he launched, Crow Valley's exclamation sounded in his ears: "It's a treasure level mid-level sea beast!" Treasure Medium! Be careful! ”

Wei Lingdong's retina showed the details of the beast.

Species: Mutant female sperm whale.

Abilities: Supercavitating Mine, High-Pressure Waterspout, Bloodthirsty Tracking.

Ability power: SSS.

Body length: 35 meters

Weight: 92 tons

Three ability mutant sea beasts, and the largest species in the sea, whales! The length has reached a terrifying 35 meters, and the weight is close to 100 tons!!

This length is far longer than any animal in the world. Moreover, this is the first time that the space exploration function has marked the length and weight of the target. This undoubtedly shows that this data needs to be paid enough attention by probes!

Wei Lingdong knew very well that among mutated animals and plants, body size was often proportional to strength. Alien beasts of the same species, larger in size, are almost always stronger, and there are very few exceptions! Unless the ability attribute and type are inherently compatible, you can basically tell the size of the strength by looking at the size. Among the alien beasts, there is no such thing as a large herbivorous alien beast, and ordinary vegetarian food is impossible to supplement the physical consumption of the alien beast, let alone need energy to grow! Unless the "grass" it eats is a mutated plant!

The mutant sperm whale seemed to notice the blue robot rushing from the bottom up, its blood-red eyes rolling downward, and then its mouth slightly exerted.

Click!

There was a muffled sound, it was the sound of a broken vertebrae. The huge body of the killer whale, which was still struggling slightly, was bitten in two by it neatly! It's as easy as cutting paper with scissors! I saw its head swing back and forth, put the two broken bodies into its mouth, and swallowed it like fries!

The 16-meter-long mutant killer whale, which weighs nearly 10 tons, disappeared into its huge mouth in a blink of an eye, leaving only a large pool of blood-red water!

This is already not the stomach capacity of normal organisms.

"I know!" Zero exclaimed, "The frequency of the strange disappearance before came from this guy!" It should be using that frequency to control the killer whale to go out and help it forage. It may be that due to the distance, this control has become relatively weak, so it is instantly obliterated by the old man's stronger mental control. It must have followed the previous killer whale's predatory track all the way to find this place. ”

"Is there any fluctuation information for the spirit orb?"

Wei Lingdong was moved and asked.

"Nope!"

Zero's answer disappointed him.

To his surprise, the sperm whale did not make any further movement after devouring the tiger shark, but just suspended motionless and quietly thirty or forty meters in front of the research boat.

"Did you control him?" Wei Lingdong asked Crow Valley in surprise.

"No, I can barely control this level. But strangely, I can't connect to its mental fluctuations at all, and it seems that there is an invisible barrier that separates my spiritual coverage! Crowvalley's tone was surprised.
