Chapter 206: Broken Eggs

There was no way to prevent these random slips, and several times the horseshoe crab eggs that rolled over hit me and An Beimo, and were almost bounced off by its elastic outer membrane.

An Beimo and I held each other and helped each other maintain our balance. Seeing that the horseshoe crab egg in front of us is close to the exit, it will soon be expelled from the body of the horseshoe crab ancestor, as long as there is no accident in this time, we can escape from the body of the horseshoe crab ancestor smoothly.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, just when we were about to go out, suddenly a horseshoe crab egg rolled down from the highest place behind us, and a few bumps made it bounce, and it fell directly behind me and An Beimo.

If it hits, An Beimo and I will be squeezed in the middle by the two horseshoe crab eggs in the front and back, their elastic outer membrane and weight, even if they don't smash us to death, they will be pressed down and trapped to death, and the consequences can be imagined.

The horseshoe crab egg fell quickly, and An Beimo turned around and raised the dagger. I pushed her back with a push on the shoulder, and I just took advantage of my strength to rush up at the falling horseshoe crab egg.

Anbei was about to drag me back angrily, but he was a step too slow.

I had long thought that if this happened, there was only one way, and that was to puncture the eggs of the horseshoe crabs that had been smashed down. This is risky, and the larvae in the horseshoe crab eggs wake up quickly as soon as they come into contact with the seawater. We don't have an advantage when we meet them in the water.

But I can't hide when it comes to the end, so I can only strike first.

The moment I made contact with the oncoming horseshoe crab eggs, the dagger in my hand stabbed at me. The blade silently pierced directly into the outer membrane of the horseshoe crab egg.

But to my surprise, this horseshoe crab egg did not break, but I was pressed down by him and continued to smash it towards An Beimo below.

I immediately pulled the dagger hard, trying to make a cut in the horseshoe crab eggs and increase the damage to the surface. Who knew that the outer membrane of this thing was not only elastic, but also seemed to be very tough, and after the dagger cut a few centimeters, the blade was actually stuck and could not be scratched.

There were still a few meters to get to An Beimo, I was in a hurry, I pulled back the dagger and stabbed it again, and after a few strokes, I pierced several holes in the outer membrane of the horseshoe crab egg. But even so, it just didn't break.

I already feel like I can't hold my breath anymore, this result is something I didn't expect, it turns out that the outer membrane toughness of these horseshoe crab eggs is so strong.

An Beimo could see clearly below, she thought for a while, turned around and swam towards the horseshoe crab eggs below. When she arrived, she was like a swimmer, doing a somersault and stomping her feet on the horseshoe crab eggs.

Borrowing the elasticity of the horseshoe crab egg, An Beimo's body ejected out like a barracuda, and rushed directly towards the horseshoe crab egg in front of me.

At the moment when he was about to collide, An Beimo swung his dagger and used inertia to make a cut in the outer membrane. But An Beimo's momentum continued, I saw that her arms were stretched out and her hands were merged, and she rushed directly into the horseshoe crab eggs through that opening.

With a soft "pop", the outer membrane of the horseshoe crab egg was completely broken, and the culture liquid inside poured out, and I felt an invisible impact suddenly appear in front of me, pushing me out.

I don't know what the density of the liquid in these horseshoe crab eggs is, but when it mixes into the seawater, it immediately sinks, and I am all pressed down.

I finally stabilized my body, and when I looked up, I saw An Beimo staring at the larvae that came out of the horseshoe crab eggs.

Holding my breath made me feel like my chest was about to explode, and it was very uncomfortable. But I'm more worried about An Beimo, and I don't know what she's staring at that larva.

At this moment, the curled larva moved all over its body, and its tail around its body slowly stretched out. This thing will automatically wake up as soon as it encounters seawater, I see that An Beimo is so close to it, I almost opened my mouth to shout out when I was in a hurry.

An Beimo slowly stepped on the water, keeping his body in front of the larvae, carefully observing the changes in the larvae's body. I don't know what she's waiting for, so close that once the larvae are fully awake, they can easily attack her.

Looking at the horseshoe crab larva slowly unfolding, I could already see its mouth hidden in its feet, and it was also full of sharp teeth. They are very adaptable, and with a few movements of their feet and tail, they begin to swim slowly.

However, it seemed to suddenly find An Beimo who was in front of it, and it didn't react for a while, and its body stiffened.

At this moment, An Beimo suddenly made a move, and the dagger stabbed directly from below, and stabbed into the mouth of the larva in one fell swoop, and the tip of the knife penetrated through the soft shell on its back. The sudden attack made the horseshoe crab larva not react, and the pain caused it to convulse and kick back and forth.

An Beimo reached out with his other hand, grabbed the tail of the larvae, and pulled his arms outward. The dagger that pierced the larva burst out of its head, cutting its front half in half.

The blue blood spread from the larvae's body into the seawater, and An Beimo threw it casually, throwing the larva's corpse aside. Then she quickly swam at me, took off the oxygen cylinder she was biting into her mouth, and stuffed it directly into my mouth.

I actually couldn't hold my breath anymore, but I was stunned by An Beimo's chic insecticidal methods just now, until I bit the mouth of the oxygen cylinder, and then I came back to my senses, I took a breath and gave An Beimo a thumbs up.

It's really handsome! The shot is neat, accurate, and ruthless, and I am a little ashamed of that resoluteness.

An Beimo pursed his lips and smiled, pushed my shoulder, and pointed behind me. As soon as I turned around, I felt a suction force appear in front of me. An Beimo and I swam forward, followed a horseshoe crab egg at the ovulation port of the horseshoe crab ancestor, followed the direction of the water surge, and swam out directly from the horseshoe crab ancestor's body.

Due to the outward squeezing force of the horseshoe crab ancestor's ovulation, An Beimo and I escaped smoothly.

As the undercurrent entered the sea, I was glad that I had escaped from the Jedi again. I looked back at the horseshoe crab with mixed feelings, and found that it looked like a black mountain in the sea, so huge that I couldn't see it in its entirety.

It was covered in a thick attachment, and if it hadn't just escaped from its body, who would have thought that this mountain-like thing would be a prehistoric creature.

Escaping by luck puts me in a good mood, and I think I won't bother with you sea monster this time!

We drill out of the undercurrent and go upstream. At this time, it was late at night, the surrounding sea water was dark, and the horseshoe crab was still ovulating, and the water had been muddyed by it, and the visibility was very low.

But I guess it's not far from the sea, otherwise we wouldn't be able to withstand the huge water pressure.

After we used the oxygen cylinder many times, it was estimated that there was nothing left, we swam out of a distance, and An Beimo handed me the oxygen cylinder with his backhand. I glanced at the capacity scale, which was close to the bottom line, and I took a minimal sip before handing it back to An Beimo.

Just as I was about to reach the surface, something slammed into my back, causing me to shake forward. I was feeling strange when the calf of my right leg tightened, as if I was being held by something.

Looking down, I was taken aback to find that it was a horseshoe crab larva that was entangled. I didn't expect them to move so quickly and silently in the water, and I didn't even realize that they were behind me.

There must be another larva entangled in the back, but there is a backpack to block the temporary safety, so we have to deal with the leg one first.

Quickly pulling out the dagger, seeing that the horseshoe crab larvae had opened its mouth to bite me on the leg, I quickly probed the dagger down, and the blade of the knife was just between my calf and the larvae's sharp teeth.

It makes me sick to see these larvae so close now, especially with their translucent bodies, where you can almost see the internal organs.

I pulled the dagger outward, trying to pull it off my lap. Who knew that this thing would not let go of its grip, and I picked it twice but was unsuccessful.

Affected by the larvae, I couldn't go any further upstream and started to sink slowly. In desperation, I grabbed the front end of the larva with one hand, and when its mouth left my calf, I slashed the dagger outward, directly cutting off the larva's side of the foot.

Unable to wrap around me any longer, the larva was kicked out by my feet. The larvae, which were not half of their feet, seemed to immediately lose their ability to move in the water, and rolled and sank underwater.

I could feel the horseshoe crab on my back, gnawing on the top of my backpack. I went back twice to catch it, but unfortunately I didn't catch it because of the lack of distance and angle.

At this time, I saw that its tail was dangling back and forth on the side, and I reached out and grabbed it and pulled it forward hard. After a few pulls and found that it didn't work, I immediately unbuckled the buckle of the backpack and took it off.

When he pulled in front of him, he saw that a larva was still clutching his backpack and biting it, and there were already several holes in the backpack. I stabbed the larva several times in the back, and the last slash cut off its tail, so that I escaped from its entanglement.

Originally, I didn't hold back enough air, but when I was messed up by these larvae, I suddenly felt uncomfortable in my chest. I didn't bother to put my bag back on my back, so I quickly tread water under my feet and swam to it.

I happened to meet An Beimo who swam back to meet her, and when she saw the larval corpse sinking behind me, she immediately understood what was going on.

I waved my hand again and again to say that it was okay, but the breath-holding had already made my face flush and my mind swollen, and I was about to reach my limit.

An Beimo immediately stuffed the oxygen cylinder into my mouth, and I took a greedy suck, which relieved me from the feeling of suffocation. The feeling of not being able to breathe is so uncomfortable!

Seeing that I was fine, An Beimo was relieved, and she pointed upwards and motioned for us to hurry up.

Now the horseshoe crab is supposed to stay on top of a mountain under the sea, and when it finishes spawning, it is likely to dive back into the deep sea again. The other teammates don't know about the horseshoe crab yet, and we need to return to the "island" as soon as possible and take everyone away.

I don't know if there will be larvae chasing after me, An Beimo and I didn't dare to stay, and rose as fast as we could. Finally, with a "bang", An Beimo and I got out of the sea at the same time.

Seeing the stars above me, I took a deep breath and felt the joy of the rest of my life again.

Only then did I realize that the oxygen cylinder was empty, and the pointer was at the very bottom. I threw away the empty bottle and beckoned An Beimo to hurry up. We are still a long way from everyone, and we will have to swim for a while before we can return to the horseshoe crab's back.

We swam hard, and although An Beimo and I were tired, thirsty and hungry now, time did not allow us to rest. And there are still those larvae in the sea, which can attack us at any time. If you don't leave the water for a moment, you won't be safe for a moment.

After swimming a short distance, the back of the horseshoe crab ancestor could be faintly seen in front of him. We lifted our spirits and continued to move forward despite the fatigue of our whole body.

Suddenly, I saw a ripple on the surface of the sea without wind, and at the same time there was a violent surge in the water. An Beimo and I were both shocked, and before we could figure out what was going on, we felt a huge impact rushing up from under our feet.
