Chapter Eighty-Eight: Between Life and Death
When the huge body of the great white shark floated up from under the sea, revealing a pair of golden pupils, a terrifying coercion suddenly enveloped everyone, and everyone almost subconsciously took a step back, with a nervous look on their faces.
"This terrifying coercion, its bloodline hierarchy, seems to have ...... Far more than us! ”
Zhao Hong clung to the railing and said nervously: "Teacher, it seems to be full of hostility towards us, what should we do?" ”
"No, it's not hostile to us." Professor Gucci pushed the frame of the glass, then said in a deep voice, "I can feel that the coercion from it is fading, it should just be curious about us, or rather, it is thanking us." ”
I didn't say anything when I heard Professor Gucci's words, but frowned and looked solemn.
Because at this moment, I suddenly felt an emotion from the great white shark.
This kind of emotion is very complicated, it seems that there is the joy of just escaping from danger, and the joy of reuniting relatives.
I don't know why I can read its emotions, I only know that when I saw those huge golden eyes, my heart trembled, and a sad emotion rose from the bottom of my heart.
At this time, I heard the great white shark make a strange call, the reason why it is said to be strange is because its call is very rapid and short, giving people the feeling that it is their own pet is coquettish to its owner.
But what strikes me as strange is that Professor Gooch and the others don't seem to have heard.
I couldn't help but swallow and spat at the mouth, and said to myself, what is this great white shark doing?
Why does it seem like only I can hear it?
"You ...... Did you hear any weird sounds? I couldn't help but ask, Li Shihua on the side looked puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "What strange voice?" ”
"Oh, nothing, maybe I'm having auditory hallucinations!" I said casually, but I knew that it wasn't an auditory hallucination, that the coquettish voice was real.
It's just a fucking feeling, being spoiled by a hundred-meter-long behemoth!
"It's ...... Leaving? Zhao Hong said with a puzzled expression.
I saw that the great white shark, after a few short cries at me, began to dive slowly, and when the sea submerged its golden pupils, its huge body swam quickly into the distance like a castle under the sea.
After seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, even Professor Gucci couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and said, "Fortunately, it didn't attack us, otherwise, we might have to use Pan Long's Spirit Disaster Spear in advance." ”
This time, we are here to hunt the fire phoenix, and Pan Long's Spirit Disaster Spear is used as a killer weapon, because the level is too high, and the essence blood consumed is too huge, so it cannot be continuously released in a short period of time, if it is released here in advance, then, we will not have the killer weapon to deal with the fire phoenix, and this time the operation will be declared a failure.
Thankfully, it didn't attack us, but quickly left.
"Zhao Hong, you take someone to collect the tentacles of the overlord octopus floating on the sea, and the blood contained in the seawater will also be extracted, which will be of great help to our genetic research."
After hearing Professor Guqi's instructions, Zhao Hong immediately began to organize people to act.
Li Shihua and I were in a group, Zheng Ke and Liu Zhen were in a group, our two groups were responsible for collecting octopus tentacles, and Pan Long and the other three were divided into two groups to extract blood from seawater.
Because the tentacles were suspended on the surface of the sea, we did not wear oxygen cylinders, but jumped directly into the sea wearing only combat uniforms.
For the sake of safety, each of us has a safety rope tied to the body, the material of the safety rope is extremely strong, can bear the weight of thousands of catties, at this moment, when we jumped into the sea with the rope in hand, the cold sea water immediately poured from all directions, I took a deep breath, and Li Shihua glanced at each other and then quickly swam to the tentacles.
These tentacles are very huge, each one is as thick as a bucket, dozens of meters long, and weighs hundreds of catties. At this moment, when the four of us arrived at the tentacle, we wrapped the iron lock in our hands around the tentacle, and as the winch on the icebreaker began to rotate and retract the lock, the iron chain would drag the tentacle to the plywood.
"Be careful, this thing's nervous system is strong, and they seem to be alive." Li Shihua frowned and said, "Quickly move away from this thing after winding the rope." ”
I nodded when I heard this, but at this moment, there was a sudden frightened scream behind me, I was shocked, and when I turned my head to look, I saw that Liu Zhen was actually entangled by a tentacle.
That tentacle was like a sea snake, and after entangling Liu Zhen, it began to tighten wildly, even if Liu Zhen was a hybrid with an extremely good bloodline, he couldn't break free from the shackles of the tentacles.
"Go help him." Although I had a conflict with Liu Zhen, but at this moment, my life was at stake, and I did not hesitate, followed him and quickly swam to Liu Zhen's side.
At this moment, Liu Zhen's face was red from being strangled by tentacles, and when he saw us coming, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence from his throat: "I'm about to lose my breath." ”
Li Shihua did not speak, but held a military thorn in his hand and stabbed directly at the tentacles.
The military thorn in Li Shihua's hand is made of special materials, not only extremely sharp, but also extremely strong, at this moment, just listen to the sound of 'poof', but it is Li Shihua's military thorn deeply pierced into the tentacles, and the tentacles actually made a strange cry like a baby crying under the pain, and then let go of Liu Zhen violently, and pulled Li Shihua fiercely.
"Be careful!" At the moment of danger, I stretched out my hand and grabbed Li Shihua, pulled it back fiercely, and then I heard a 'bang', but it was the tentacles that hit the sea hard, and for a while, the waves were surging, and the sea water was like raindrops, splashing all over the sky.
"How are you, are you alright?" I asked nervously, Li Shihua shook his head when he heard this, if I hadn't pulled Li Shihua to my side in time just now, I am afraid that I would have to pump it directly on her.
The tentacles weighing hundreds or even hundreds of pounds are as thick as buckets, if they are drawn, not to mention being shot to death, but breaking a few bones will never be able to run.
"This thing seems to have an independent consciousness." Zheng Ke also rushed to my side, frowned and said, Li Shihua also frowned when he heard this, and said, "It should be the nerve bundle in its body that is giving instructions." ”
At this moment, the tentacle was like a water snake, towering above the sea, and its body was full of dense suckers, those suckers were like an open mouth, one by one, and even the fine, barb-like jagged teeth could be seen inside.
"I'm hurt." Liu Zhen gritted his teeth and said with a painful face, I turned my head to look, and I saw that Liu Zhen's body was drenched in blood, and in several places, even the skin and flesh were gnawed, obviously, when he was entangled by the tentacles just now, the tentacles not only wanted to strangle him, but also sucked his blood.
"We have the blood of the gods flowing in our bodies, and the blood of the gods has a huge attraction to these things, and your blood has drawn all the rest of the tentacles over." As Li Shihua's words fell, we saw that the remaining dozens of tentacles were also like water snakes, all twisting and rushing towards us.
"Withdraw yourselves!" At this time, Zhao Hong's voice sounded from the waterproof walkie-talkie, and everyone didn't dare to delay when they heard this, so they turned around and quickly swam towards the icebreaker.
It's just that the speed of those tentacles is too fast, and I only saw a broken water line quickly come behind me, and then, a huge tentacle suddenly poked out from under the water, and all the suction cups were opened, and they wrapped around me fiercely.
I was frightened and my scalp was numb when I saw this, but after this month of devil training, I am no longer a hairy boy who can only rely on others when encountering problems, I made a quick decision at the critical moment, took a hard breath, and then sank violently.
For a while, the icy sea water submerged my whole body, and almost the moment I just dived into the sea, the thick tentacle slammed on the sea, and the huge force was transmitted from the sea, causing my body to sink extremely quickly, just in the blink of an eye, it sank dozens of meters.
I held my breath, squinted my eyes and glanced around, and then I saw Li Shihua, Zheng Ke and Liu Zhen also diving into the seawater, at this moment, Li Shihua had swam to my side, pointed to me in the direction of the icebreaker, and then swam forward quickly.
Seeing this, I hurried to follow, but those tentacles were like maggots on tarsal bones, and they also dived under the water, chasing after us.
They were extremely fast, and almost in the blink of an eye, they came behind us, and a tentacle struck directly at the back of Li Shihua's heart.
Seeing this, I was in a hurry, and pushed Li Shihua away, and then, the thick tentacles were like a long whip, and they slapped me hard in the chest.
At that moment, I only felt as if my chest had been hit hard by a piledriver, and the feeling of suffocation directly spread to my whole body, I couldn't help but open my mouth and let out a scream, and most of the air in my lungs was also spit out by me, and blood spurted out of my mouth.
Moreover, the power of the tentacle was too great, and under this beat, my upper body was almost numb, and the whole person was like a stone that had fallen into the sea, and quickly sank to the bottom of the sea.
I sank very fast, almost instantaneously sinking to a depth of 100 meters, such a depth, if ordinary people would not be able to withstand the water pressure, but for the half-breed it is not a big problem, and the combat uniform I am wearing can resist the water pressure of thousands of meters.
However, there was not much air in my lungs, and the feeling of suffocation was getting heavier and heavier, so I immediately endured the severe pain and desperately swam upstream, but under the blow just now, my ribs and arm bones seemed to be injured, and at this moment I moved it was a stinging pain.
The feeling of suffocation was getting heavier and heavier, and my brain even began to become chaotic at this point.
When a person is in the middle of the sea, the sense of loneliness and terror is beyond the comprehension of others.
However, just as my consciousness became more and more trance-like, I suddenly saw a figure quickly swim in front of me, she took me in her arms, and then quickly approached me, her cold lips directly on my mouth.
A trace of oxygen was slowly spit into my mouth by Li Shihua, so that my suffocation feeling was relieved, I slowly opened my eyes, and then quickly left Li Shihua's embrace.
To be honest, if I could, I would even like to be held by her and kissed by her all the time. But I know I can't do this, at this moment, we are in the 100-meter-deep sea, the oxygen in everyone's lungs is extremely precious, more oxygen, more hope to live, I don't want Li Shihua to waste too much oxygen for me.
Just as I broke free from Li Shihua's embrace, Li Shihua's face suddenly changed, I hurriedly looked back, and then I saw that there were dozens of tentacles swimming towards us behind us.
The speed of the tentacles is too fast, and the power is infinite, we can't fight it without diving equipment, at this moment to see so many tentacles attacking us, my heart suddenly sank, knowing that this time, we must be in a catastrophe.
On the occasion of the devil's special training, the instructor said the most that no matter when the time comes, you must not give up and you cannot sit still.
So when I saw these tentacles coming towards us, I didn't sit still, but turned around and hugged Li Shihua, and then kissed her on the mouth.
Li Shihua's eyes widened, with a look of astonishment, and the whole person almost stiffened in my arms.
But I ignored Li Shihua's astonishment, but directly transferred all the oxygen in my body to her, and then, with all my strength, pushed her body up fiercely.
And almost as soon as I pushed Li Shihua out, I felt a tightness in my body, but a tentacle was already wrapped around my body.
