Chapter 13: The Depths of the Rift
Looking up, you can see the extremely oppressive rock face, and when you look down, there are dangerous potholes, with caution and trepidation, Wu Zhi just swam deeper and deeper in the dark. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The thickness of this huge rock wall far exceeded Wu Zhi's estimate, and by constantly moving forward and wandering in it, he felt that it was more appropriate to describe it as a giant mountain.
Looking at the front of the black press, there is no sign of the end at all!
Although the depths of the rift are mostly dead silent, there are still odd-looking creatures that occasionally come into view.
But fortunately, because the height of the crack was limited by only one meter, these creatures were not particularly large and could not threaten Wu Zhi.
"Damn, what the hell is dragging the giant pincer shrimp and crab away? Why is it that the trace below still hasn't come to an end! ā
Wu Zhi observed the movements around him, and at the same time followed the shallow traces on the surface of the rock, and he couldn't help but have strong doubts in his heart.
Judging by the trajectory of the traces, it is inevitable that they will pass through some potholes. In that case, why would the creatures hiding in the pit allow the fat giant pincer shrimp and crab to leave in front of their eyes?
Aren't these deep-sea creatures extremely ferocious?
Or is there no living creature in the pit at all?
Thinking of the quietness of this journey, Wu Zhi, who was in doubt, stopped in the sea and swallowed the seawater. In order to verify his suspicions, he plans to go into the dark pit to find out the situation himself!
Fish that are different from human structures constantly sweep back and forth on the surface of the rock, and eventually, Wu Zhi's gaze falls on a relatively small pit and uses it as an object of temptation.
"You've already swam to the entrance of the cave, and there's not any movement? Isn't this kind of dark and remote place under normal circumstances the favorite of many fish? ā
Coming to the mouth of the pit, Wu Zhi cautiously leaned over, wanting to use his hardened skull to push away the black plants that were covering the hole.
Then, the moment he really did this, a fish mouth full of sharp and slender teeth rushed out from the depths of the quiet pit!
The terrifying fish's mouth gnawed at Wu Zhi's hard skull with unmistakable precision, and at the same time as it was bitten, Wu Zhi's body almost swayed violently, almost struggling with instinctive reactions!
In such an emergency, the brain simply doesn't have time to react!
Luckily, his head was hard enough to be pierced by the fangs of the pitted creatures. It was precisely because of this that he was able to easily escape from the mouth of the pit.
The disturbed creature in the depths of the pit was not like the giant pincer shrimp and crab that chased after it without saying a word, obviously it also knew that Wu Zhi's physique and fangs were very dangerous, and it did not dare to leave the relatively safe pit easily.
"I'll go, and sure enough, there's really a creature lurking inside! Thankfully, I found a small pothole, and if it were one or two times the size of my body, it would be dangerous. ā
Wu Zhi's heart, who quickly swam out more than ten meters, was frightened by the sudden moment just now, and although his body was not harmed, the mental damage was not light.
It's not scary to rush out of a dark hole with a creature, it's scary to think that there is no creature in it, and the other party will suddenly appear and take over all your vision with sharp teeth.
That's the scariest thing!
"It seems that this crack in the rock is not as simple as it seems."
After verifying that there were really creatures in the pit below, Wu Zhi's doubts became even stronger.
Judging from what happened just now, most of the creatures in the pit don't like to be disturbed. The previous giant pincer shrimp and crab were also, and after a few harassments, they rushed out directly and fought with themselves.
In that case, why do they all stay quietly in the pit, even if this is the habitual sleep time of deep-sea creatures, it is impossible for all creatures to be so uniform, right?
This is definitely not just an ordinary coincidence, no matter how unscientific, the creatures in the pit should also come out to forage!
The deeper he thought about it, the deeper the mystery that this huge crack that appeared in the rock gave Wu Zhi.
In addition to the unusually quiet creatures in the pits, there is also a defying common sense, that is, the variety of creatures here is too abnormal.
Logically speaking, the variety of organisms that can exist in a place is generally extremely limited. Because of natural selection, it is impossible for many organisms to coexist with each other.
And here, almost every crater has the potential to live with completely different species. There are arthropods such as giant claw shrimp and crabs, mysterious creatures that drag away the carcasses of giant claw shrimp and crabs, and fish with terrifying mouths......
This is not so much a natural deep-sea world as a gathering place for a wide variety of deep-sea animals!
"Is this the deep-sea realm that humans have never set foot in? Sure enough, you can't look at it with ordinary knowledge of the sea, and its mystery must be far more than that, it seems that I still have to be more careful! ā
Staring at the traces on the rocks, Wu Zhi, as a fish, was guessing the true appearance of this mysterious sea area.
Swimming inside the dimly lit massive rock for nearly half an hour, the flow of the sea changes subtly.
Originally, inside this kind of rock, the flow of water should be relatively still, but at this moment, Wu Zhi clearly felt that the sea water wrapped around his body had a tendency to flow out.
If the deepest part of the crack is a closed rock wall, then there will definitely be no such change.
In other words, in front of this endless darkness, there must be another exit!
"Could it be that this huge rock is hollow, coming in through one exit and swimming out of another?"
Wu Zhi carefully looked at the height between the upper and lower surfaces of the rock, and found that unconsciously, the height difference between the original one meter had increased to two meters!
Wu Zhi, who had not encountered mortal danger all the way, stared at the dark front with twelve points of spirit, and he had an intuition that he should not be far from the disappearing giant pincer shrimp and crab.
This place is obviously much wider than the entrance to the fissure, and the craters on the rock surface are large and small, and I don't know what kind of strange deep-sea creatures lurk in them.
Wu Zhi swam inside the rock in such a frightened way, and when a crimson figure slowly appeared from the edge of darkness within a twelve-meter field of vision, his eyes suddenly lit up.
From a distance, the two round and huge pincers were covered with holes, and the hard body armor draped over the body was also scarred. If it's not the corpse of a giant pincer shrimp crab, what could it be?!
Although Wu Zhi's mind was no longer on the giant claw shrimp and crab, the moment he saw the giant claw shrimp and crab corpse, he couldn't help but speed up his swimming, wanting to go over and see what kind of creature dragged it here.
Of course, speeding up is speeding up, and the vigilance that should be there is still a must.
At a distance of two or three meters from the carcass of the giant pincer shrimp and crab, Wu Zhi stabilized his body and stopped.
After carefully observing the environment around the giant pincer shrimp and crab carcass and making sure that there was no hidden danger, Wu Zhi slapped the fish's tail violently and stepped forward to investigate.
When he came to the corpse of the giant pincer shrimp and crab lying motionless on the rocky ground, and was wondering why it hadn't been eaten, a chill from his heart instantly filled his body, making him tremble slightly.
Even the slightly dull fish eyes showed an extremely frightened look!
