Chapter 181: The ...... Evolved Over the Long Years

The Hunter of the Deep Sea, the Light of Bewilderment, is now more than ever.

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

In the deep darkness of the world, the looming white points of light are so conspicuous that they can be clearly felt from a long distance.

I wonder how much food I can get from the creatures that have been lured in this time...... Although it is called Sand Cattail, it is not only a food filter from the sand, but it is obviously more convenient and labor-saving to filter out the abundant microscopic organisms directly from the seawater.

The constantly moving point of light was getting closer and closer, and the little eyes of the devouring sand pu had clearly felt the enhancement of that glimmer of light. The wide surface of its body is actually very sensitive, and it can even tell from the subtle movements of the water that something is moving in the nearby water.

But at this moment, the senses that used to escape the crisis brought a strange feeling to the devouring sand pu, and the fluctuations here seemed to be different from what they had experienced before, a little ...... A little violent?

He hesitated, unconsciously slowing down his progress. If it is a seducer, it will definitely be a key point to conceal its own subject, and it will not be as violent as it is felt now.

No, it's not what you imagined!

Something shook and woke up the devouring sand, it was the sound of something heavy colliding with each other, something moving here, and it was definitely not a small creature.

Leave here, you can't stay any longer!

Shrouded in a strong sense of crisis, Shapu shook his flat body and flipped ninety degrees, using the resistance to quickly brake, ready to turn around and leave this dangerous place, but it didn't notice it, and before it knew it, the light source was getting closer and closer to it......

An undercurrent slammed into Sha Pu's body in the dark world, striking a clearly visible indentation on its flat body, this was not a natural flow of water, but a stream of water that was impacted by some kind of object!

The hard object slammed into the darkness and slammed into it, barely touching the surface of its skin, and reflexively and rapidly contracted its body, and this instantaneous action successfully saved it from this crisis.

However, the cattail was not able to get a second luck.

Immediately after that, a second hard object that emerged from the darkness bombarded the soft part of the flat middle of the flat body with a huge kinetic energy, almost piercing the muscle tissue there, and even if it didn't dig a hole out at once, the sharp sides cut the skin and flesh of the devouring sand pu......

Escape! Run away! There was only one thought left in the back of Eater's mind, but the hard object that had just hit its middle body suddenly deformed, firmly grasping its flat body, and unleashing another heavy blow!

Bang!

Finally, its soft body was completely torn apart by this force, and the breath of life quickly disappeared cleanly, and finally turned into a cold corpse.

The faint light finally lit up suddenly, and it actually illuminated an area of five or six meters in radius, and it also illuminated the thing that had just killed Shapu...... It looks like a blue-blue palm wearing armor.

The signal had been hiding in the darkness and silently watching all this happen, and at this moment, Xinglan finally lost her previous calmness, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Sea giant? ”

The voice was slight, but it still caught the other party's attention, and he grabbed the corpse of Shapu in his hand, and looked around vigilantly, and the full picture of the sea giant was finally revealed in front of Xinglan.

Comparing it to her memories from the Sea Age, it was clear to Xinglan that their appearance had changed dramatically.

First of all, compared to the cyan hard shell that covered the surface of the body like a large insect in the Sea Age, the current sea giants still have a hard carapace, but they look completely different, more like they are wearing a flexible cyan armor...... It is not the kind of armor that pursues beauty and gorgeousness, but the perfect shape that guarantees combat effectiveness in the true sense of the word, without a trace of discomfort.

It was a natural piece of armor, and Xinglan analyzed every bulge and depression in it, but could not find any flaws.

The skin of the sea giant is exposed in the gaps of the armor, and its color looks closer to blue-blue than the cyan of the armor, and the surface of the skin is not an ordinary epidermis, but is covered with unique patterns like shark skin, which is very suitable for moving in the sea.

White light flickered faintly at the bottom of the sea, a dazzling glow emitted by the burning life of the photofungus...... But in stark contrast to the Marine Physic, these photofungi were not clinging to stone sticks like torches and being waved by sea giants, and it is clear that the two species have developed a deeper symbiotic relationship over the years. They clinged directly to the surface of the sea giant's cyan armor, shimmering with a bright white glow like a searchlight.

This is a revolutionary change, not only does it mean that the sea giants don't have to lift the stone stick, they can save a lot of energy in fighting and climbing, but the fact that the two species can be so closely integrated means that their symbiosis is even better.

Don't underestimate this, the communication and cooperation between the two is an important key point to confuse the enemy, because the photobacteria are not just desperately trying to emit light, its brightness is ...... Yes, it can be adjusted.

Poor Shapu didn't know why the light that hadn't come close would appear in front of it all of a sudden, in fact, the reason was very simple, generally speaking, as the distance approached, the brightness of the light source would also become significantly brighter, which made it easy for the enemy to judge the distance between the two, but what if the brightness of the light fungus was dimmed while getting close to the enemy?

Obviously, it is impossible to judge the distance. With this flickering light, you can't tell with your vision whether the enemy is getting close or far away, or how far away the two are.

Very interesting combination...... Xinglan thought for a moment, and felt that there might be some kind of pheromone exchange between the two, and it was obvious that this was a conscious act by the photofungus that suddenly changed from a glimmer of light to a bright light that illuminated a radius of several meters after the death of the sand eater.

It is worth thinking about whether the sea giant's behavior of controlling the brightness of the photobacteria to confuse the enemy is a natural instinct or a wise tactic. Or is it both?

At this moment, the sea giant, who had been vigilant for a long time because of Xinglan's exclamation, finally relaxed a little, although he still looked around occasionally, but his muscles were no longer tense at any time to attack, and it seemed that he seemed to feel that the unknown thing had left here.

Because there is nothing to compare with for the time being, Xinglan doesn't know what type of sea giant in front of him is in his race, but this sea giant is obviously not a juvenile juvenile, and he looks very strong, but his height is only more than three meters, not more than five meters in the sea life.

Is this individual special? Or did the sea giants begin to shrink in size over the course of a long evolutionary process? Given the scarcity of food on the ocean floor, it doesn't seem strange to get used to the environment by downsizing.

Carrying the corpse of the devouring sand pu, the sea giant who seemed to be a hunter began to turn around and prepare to return, his cheeks constantly vibrating as they were back then, filtering oxygen from the ocean, driving the huge body to trample on the sand grains at the bottom of the sea, leaving shallow footprints that were quickly smoothed out by the current.

Sea giants can't swim like ordinary sea creatures, and their sturdy armor brings great combat power but also greatly increases the weight of their bodies, so that they live in the ocean as if they are animals on land, they can only rely on the ground to move forward, at most they can jump a little higher, and they will not fall to their deaths because of falling from a high place, that's all.

Perhaps, if the future sea giants can make a device that can freely control the depth of diving like a submarine, it should be a magical thing for them to be similar to a flying machine. Living in an environment where most creatures can easily reach heights that they can't reach, it's not easy to hunt...... Even a crossbow or throwing weapon is obviously not very powerful under the huge resistance of the sea.

...... of Maritime Civilization This kind of thing is not as easy as it sounds, the process of developing civilization from land creatures is almost impossible for them to replicate, even Xinglan has no experience in this area, after all, she has never seen a real marine civilization, so she can't find a ready-made method to borrow.

The sea giant walked slowly, although he could not swim and rise, but the buoyancy of the sea greatly reduced the burden of this armor after all, and coupled with his own strong muscles, it was not a very difficult thing to make a long journey.

Suddenly, he stopped and stared, a relaxed smile on his features that closely resembled humans except for his cheeks. In the darkness ahead, several faint white light sources could be faintly seen slowly moving.

He did not travel alone to hunt, and at this moment, his companions, who had also caught their prey, were ready to go back together.

The sea giant opened its mouth lightly under Xinglan's gaze, and suddenly let out a high-pitched, piercing whistle that sounded like a banshee's howl, sounding very uncomfortable.

No, it's not just howling.

Through the signal prons directly capturing the fluctuations in the environment, Xinglan quickly discovered the peculiarity of the noise, the seemingly sharp and disordered cries are just something that ordinary auditory senses feel, and the complex fluctuations with real regularity are actually distributed in the ...... The frequency band range of ultrasound!

Much like dolphins, this ultrasonic voice is more penetrating in the ocean and can be transmitted farther away, and it is clear that the sea giant has evolved this unique ability to adapt to the environment.

"Do you have a sense of language, and have you really evolved into intelligent beings?" Xinglan muttered to herself softly, "But if you communicate through ultrasound, it seems that you will have a lot of trouble communicating with land civilizations in the future......
