Cracks in the sea floor climb down, and a deadly crisis looms.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, I'm afraid no one would have thought that there would be such a deep crack on the seabed hundreds of meters away from the coastline, almost separating the two worlds.

"Sure enough......" The aurora fish swam back and forth on the top of the peak, and circles of faint colored light kept flashing on its body, Xinglan sighed softly, "Compared with those so-called sacred mountains, heaven and earth, and empty boats and other inexplicable things...... The abyssal rift is so easy to guess that normal people can guess that it refers to a huge undersea rift. ”

A huge wound in the flat continental shelf...... It appears as if it had been torn apart by life, and appears so abruptly in the area where the reef wanders, it seems likely that it was caused by a violent crustal movement. The deepest part of the rift is completely hidden in the darkness, and it is impossible to see with ordinary eyes.

It's not a big deal, unless it's a creature like the Sea Giant, for more than 99% of the creatures in this ocean, they can swim through the rift with ease, without any impact on their movements, but ......

"Are you sure it's okay to go on like this?" Xinglan looked at the peak of the rocky cliff that had already begun to turn around and stretch out his feet, not out of nervousness, but simply out of curiosity, "This thing is at least a hundred meters deep, maybe there is something bad down there." ”

Feng didn't reply, but expressed his determination to Xinglan with his actions: grasping the top of the rift with both hands, he began to climb down cautiously, looking for any possible place to step on.

After all, it's the ocean, so it's almost impossible to risk falling to your death, and correspondingly, climbing from the bottom up is far easier than climbing on land, requiring very little force to propel yourself upwards. On the uneven surface of this rift cliff, the peaks can be easily moved up and down...... Even if you accidentally step on the air, you can still get back on this rock wall by slapping the water in the reverse direction as you sink downward, and there is no danger in returning to this rock wall.

Seeing that Feng still insisted on doing this, Xinglan didn't try to stop him, but calmly flicked his tail and followed him into this rift, and as the light of the light fungus gradually moved down, more and more deep places began to be illuminated.

……

When entering the area of the rift valley at a depth of about 50 meters, a strange phenomenon began to appear in the surrounding space: just like the catkins flying in spring, a large number of white clumps were distributed in the rift, and they were repeatedly washed back and forth with the unstable current.

These white clumps, which had no hidden intentions and were very distinctly colored, looked particularly conspicuous under the illumination of the light fungus, and were distributed almost everywhere, and in just a short time, a large number of white clumps had been hooked by the sharp parts of the carapace on the peak body surface, almost completely dyeing his cyan armor into blue and white.

Even though this scene looked very similar to the scene of organic debris falling in the ocean, Xinglan was the first to know that this was not normal...... It is impossible for organic matter detritus to gather in large quantities into such clumps, and most of them are scattered one by one, and these white clumps in front of you look more like many marshmallows, clumps of flocculents, but very similar to the macroscopic appearance of the source spores.

Of course, they can't be the spore filaments of the source spores.

Almost instantaneously, the signalon scanned a portion of the small white mass back and forth several times, and its microstructure was very clear, consisting of a large number of tiny cells connected to each other, and these cells ...... It seems that this small white mass is just a kind of mold-like cluster formed by a large number of single-celled fungi, and it is not harmful.

Under Xinglan's exploration, it can be said that every base in the genetic structure of these tiny fungi is hidden, and even a single atom can be regarded as a behemoth for signalmen, so she can also be very sure that this fungus does not have any hidden secrets, and it is impossible for it to have intelligence similar to Feng Shu, just an ordinary bacterial cluster floating in the seawater.

Standing on the rock wall of the rift, Feng didn't pay attention to the white fungi that stained his body, but climbed down with quick movements, also paying attention to any movement in the bottom rift...... He didn't dare to jump straight down, even if he couldn't die, what if he fell directly into the trap of death? Considering that the so-called nirvana is in this rift, to say that there is no danger here, I am afraid that even the porous tube worm will not believe it.

Fortunately, it seems that fate really favored it, and during the descent of a hundred meters, except for those white mushroom clusters floating around, the peak was not disturbed in any way, but reached the bottom of the rift valley very smoothly...... It is not a soft sandy area, but a thick layer of silt.

Feng didn't care about the discomfort of the silt, and simply stood on the muddy ground at the edge of the rift, his feet wrapped in cyan carapace leaving two clear footprints in the mineral-rich mud, but it wasn't long before they would be wiped off the ground by the never-ending stream of water.

Over a long period of time, large amounts of organic matter have been deposited from the sea above, and most of them have been dormant on the ocean floor, except for some that are occasionally brought back to the upper sea by ocean currents, so don't underestimate these silts, which are high enough for any plant to grow on them if there is enough sunlight.

"Looks ...... There is no big crisis. The aurora fish shook its body in the seawater, and a bright arc of electricity lit up at the bottom of this rift, frightening a few small fish not far away and quickly fled, due to the conductivity of the seawater, even the peak who was not shrouded in the attack range felt paralyzed for a while, "Well, they are all timid guys, the sad ones at the bottom of the food chain, I can't see anything special at all......"

"Stop doing this kind of thing that makes it easy to expose yourself." Feng frowned, feeling a little dissatisfied with Xinglan's arrogant and reckless behavior, he raised his head and looked at the sea above, which was also unclear, "Everything here is not too detailed and documented, and it is very likely that there are some unknown risks. ”

"It doesn't matter...... But in your legends, where is the thing that can kill all living things in an instant? Xing Lan seemed a little unimpressed by Feng's statement, she was also sure that there was nothing on Lan Xing that could threaten her so casually, if it was really an adventure in the universe, it wouldn't be so messy, "You can't just search the entire rift, so you can give some specific clues." ”

"If you want to talk about clues, there are indeed some ......" Feng nodded affirmatively after recalling for a moment, and turned to face the rocky cliff below, and the white light emitted by the light fungus on his chest also illuminated this cliff that looked completely lifeless, "That kind of special weapon is said to be not in the silt at the bottom of the rift, but on the rocky cliffs near the bottom, so I think ...... Why don't you take a closer look at the rocky cliffs? ”

"That's why you have to come down so carefully...... Also, if you accidentally step on it while finding the weapon and be the first to kill it, it will be a sad story. Xinglan spat out the trough as she controlled the aurora fish to swim a short distance to observe the rock wall...... If it was located higher than the peak, it might be easier to spot it from the perspective of the Aurora Fish, "But what kind of strange weapons are distributed on the rocky cliffs?" Is it some particular mineral structure or some unknown organism? ”

"It doesn't seem to be any different." Feng tried to yell at the rocky cliffs as he walked along the bottom of the rift, but the signal transmitted by the ultrasound seemed to be completely solid, and it seemed that there were no special caves hidden behind the cliffs, "I don't know what to encounter." ”

Suddenly, as if it was a whim, Feng even stretched out his hand and gently tapped the rocky cliff in front of him, of course, the sound of the knocking was not audible in the seawater, but his fingers could still feel something through the shock: "There is nothing special, but the texture is a little softer...... Softer? ”

Feng suddenly reacted to what he felt just now, and couldn't help but look at the rocky cliff in front of him in amazement, his pupils contracted suddenly, even if the texture of the rock was brittle, it couldn't be that soft touch, that feeling...... It's flesh and blood!

When Xinglan heard Feng's roar and turned her perspective, she happened to see an extremely terrifying scene, a rocky cliff...... No, it was some kind of strange creature that was almost exactly the same color as the rocks that bounced out of the rift cliff and pounced on his face in the extremely short distance that the peak didn't have time to dodge, and a large expanse of tentacles and muscles danced wildly around it, looking like a terrifying monster that only appeared in biochemical movies!

Even Feng, who had been acting calm before, couldn't help but panic in the face of this sudden attack, this creature's camouflage ability is too powerful, whether it is the color or the texture completely overlaps with the background, even if there are occasional uncoordinated fluctuations, it will only be thought to be caused by the flow of water, who would have thought that the danger would be hidden in this close place?

Even Xing Lan didn't find this hidden creature without using signal code probing, of course, its small size is also one of the keys, even if the whole body adds up, it completely covers Feng's head at most.

Because it was directly pounced on the head, the sea giant's defensive carapace seemed useless in all this, and this strange monster was like an octopus capable of twisting its body at will, it quickly blocked Feng's vision, and then used its body to block his cheeks and cheeks while squeezing his neck fiercely, with extremely skillful movements.

A strong feeling of suffocation instantly sent Feng's brain into a dizziness, and since the monster was directly wrapped around his head, Xinglan didn't dare to rashly use the electric current to attack......
