Chapter 5: The Extreme Abyss
I walked in the direction of the city, and I didn't go far before I saw a pair of young men and women walking hand in hand on the side of the street, looking like Chinese in terms of skin color, clothing, and temperament, so I paid attention to it. This time I paid attention, and I found that they were speaking authentic Chinese!
I hurriedly greeted him: "Both, take the liberty of excuse me, may I ask what kind of place is this?" ”
The two young men were stunned for a moment, and then they both showed surprised expressions, and the man hurriedly put the woman behind him, and asked nervously, "You, what do you mean?" ”
My words would have been fine, but for a man who was alone on an island in the Pacific Ocean, it was very incredible, and I hurriedly said, "That's right, I just drifted to this island, and I don't know what kind of place this is." ”
The two immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the man said, "This is Tinian Island, also called Tinian Island, and we are here to travel." How can we help? ”
"Thank you both for your kindness, I'll go first." I hurriedly turned around and left, afraid that they would ask more. Tinian Island is one of the Mariana Islands, and a little further on is the Mariana Trench, and my purpose has been achieved.
A woman asked the man in a low voice from behind: "How weird, he doesn't look like a drifter?" ”
The man said, "Yes, could it be someone who traveled through ancient times?" ”
"But he's wearing modern clothes."
“……”
I was secretly amused, this young couple has a lot of imagination, why didn't they think I flew over?
Seeing that there was no one on the left and right, I flew forward again in the water, and after about four or five minutes, I was almost ready to get into the water, when another fighter jet roared low towards me. It seems that the Americans can really detect me flying in the air and think I am a UFO, and the speed of this kind of plane is much faster than what I have seen in China, I did not fly with all my strength just now, and I was actually overtaken.
I paid attention to the plane, lowered the altitude to the surface, got into the water to avoid the water, and chased me in the water if I had the ability!
The water here is clearer and unpolluted, but at night it looks blue and quiet, and there is an unsettling atmosphere. I had to choose to move at night, and when I got to a few hundred meters below, it was absolutely dark at night and during the day.
I didn't feel the effect of the water pressure, so I descended at a very fast pace, and after a while I couldn't see anything at all. I was prepared, first took out the rhino horn to force the sea water, and then took out a strong flashlight that Zheng Wanfeng bought yesterday. This is often used by fishermen because it is not only bright and long-lasting, but also waterproof.
As soon as the light shone, all kinds of fish and shrimp aquariums fled in fright, but a little deeper, I sensed a huge creature approaching me at a very fast speed on the right. I hurriedly turned around and shone the flashlight in that direction, but before it could get close to me, a part of it had already slammed into the door in front of me, and I didn't even see what it was.
I didn't have time to think about it, so I hurriedly punched my true qi out, and the soft cotton was smooth and cold, so it wasn't disgusting, but it finally shook it open. Before I could catch my breath, another big guy burst into the waterless space, wrapped around my waist, and immediately tightened as if it were entangled in a giant python. It was then that I realized that what was entangled in me was a huge octopus tentacle, which was easy to separate because of the huge suction cups on it.
The octopus, also called the octopus, has eight long tentacles, and it is not one tentacle that attacks me, but several. The first one was knocked open by my blow, the second one wrapped around my waist, and when I could see it clearly, the third and fourth rolled over me almost at the same time, and rolled towards my head and feet, respectively. It all happened so fast, I instinctively wanted to break free, but I couldn't break free, my body was pulled forward, my head was thrown back as much as I could in the hurry, and I finally avoided it, but my feet were not spared and were also caught up.
"Slash with a knife!" Xiaoxue shoved the magic knife into my hand in time. I immediately swung my knife and slashed the tentacles that were wrapped around my waist, and the tentacles that were wrapped around my legs contracted terribly and slammed forward, and if I hadn't had the aura protector, I would have been strangled in no time.
I didn't have time to cut off the tentacles that were wrapped around my feet, and it pulled my feet in front of me and my head in the back, my body lost my balance, and two more long tentacles came around me. This octopus is incredibly big, and it has eight claws, I can take care of this side and not the other, so I can only swing the knife and slash indiscriminately, and with the peerless edge of the magic knife, I cut off two more tentacles, but I was also pulled to the mouth of the huge octopus.
I thrust my waist up, shrunk my body, and slashed down again, finally severing the tentacles that were wrapped around my feet. The giant octopus spewed out a puff of ink, and its eyes turned pitch black, and it quickly fled into the distance.
I breathed a sigh of relief, kept my balance, and looked down to see that two tentacles the size of bowls were still firmly wrapped around my waist and feet, and countless suction cups were wriggling and moving, which was terrifying. I endured my nausea and managed to break off the two sticky suction cups, when I suddenly felt the water ripple again, and a bigger creature was rapidly approaching me.
I was amazed, my feet had nowhere to focus in the water, my body was floating, and it was difficult to use my strength, similar to a weightless person in space, and the monsters in the sea had incredible predation speed and incredible strength in the water, and I couldn't fight against it at all. Is it time to flee to the top, or to the bottom, or to fight hard?
Although the monster that rushed over this time was larger, the speed was not too fast. I gritted my teeth and sank with all my might, because all kinds of aquarists live in waters at a certain depth, and as long as I descend to a certain level, they will not chase after me. And I sink fast, they may not be able to catch up with me, and they may be caught up if they are slower to float up.
As I descended, I shone a flashlight on the head, and several big sharks rushed over! Luckily, they didn't chase me, they just fought for the octopus tentacles that I had cut off.
I was in a cold sweat, but fortunately the first time I was attacked by a big octopus, if I was besieged by a group of big sharks without warning, I would have a small hole all over my body after being bitten!
In this pitch black seabed, I will not be able to see anything without using a light source, I will be like a blind man; I can't use a flashlight, it will make me a target for many big monsters, which is really difficult. Lin Mei is right, this is a world that I am completely unfamiliar with, and I don't know what Lu Dao will encounter, and I don't have any experience in dealing with it. No matter what kind of danger I encounter on land, at least I am down-to-earth, able to move freely, able to react instinctively, but not here.
I made up my mind and carefully descended, but fortunately, most of the water tribes fled when they saw the light, and a very small number of small animals that were completely unnamed collided with me, or split in half by me, or dodged by me in time, and were not attacked by huge monsters again.
I don't know how many meters I descended, there was absolute darkness on all sides, black like an incomparably huge iron plate pressing down on me, and the feeling of extreme depression and loneliness surrounded me, making me feel like I couldn't breathe, and it seemed that even my heart was struggling.
"Xiaoxue, why don't you speak?" It was so quiet that I wanted to talk.
"I'm afraid I'll distract you."
"No, you better come out and talk to me."
Xiaoxue came out, hugged me from behind, and put her arms around my waist, and I immediately felt a lot safer. Xiaoxue said: "I am very scared, I hate such a place, it is like I am going to be crushed to death immediately." ”
At this time, I felt that not only was I depressed, but I was actually under a lot of pressure, and the area of the sea water forced by the rhinoceros horn became smaller. Because the pressure was slowly increasing, evenly increasing in all directions, and the mood was so nervous, I didn't even notice it.
It seems that the rhino horn does not completely dissolve the pressure of the seawater, but only cancels out most of the water pressure, and there is no obvious feeling in the shallow places, and the water pressure is shown in the deep places, so can I support the deepest part of the seabed?
How deep is it now? I really can't tell this, it feels very, very deep, but it's still pitch black and endless. There were a lot of aquarium creatures around me before, all kinds of fish, turtles, sea snakes, lobsters, jellyfish, etc., countless, and then slowly decreased, and now there are few creatures encountered, and the occasional sights are also strange, and some can't even tell whether they are animals or baths.
As the depth of descent increased, I felt more and more stressed, and after a while, I was really out of breath. Because the water rhino horn is forced away by my aura, the pressure acting on the water rhino horn energy field is acting on me, which is to suppress the body and spirit at the same time.
I'm in big trouble, and I guess I can't get to the bottom of the sea, and I can't bear the pressure. Under great pressure, my aura will be depleted quickly, and I will not be able to bear it, what if I encounter a monster attack?
Xiaoxue said: "It's better to try it with water avoidance." ”
I'm a little skeptical, I can't bear the power of the treasure, can I avoid water? But now we can't go any further, we can only use dead horses as live horse doctors, and give it a try. When Xiaoxue returned to my body, I narrowed the water separation range of the rhino horn, used the water avoidance trick, and then further reduced the water-dividing effect of the water rhino horn, so that one of my hands slowly entered the water.
Miraculously, the water didn't touch my hands, and I didn't feel any pressure, just like in shallow water. I completely retracted the water-splitting effect of the rhino horn, and my whole body was surrounded by seawater, and I still didn't feel the pressure. The stress is gone, and the psychological depression has improved a lot, and it is no longer so unbearable.
I learned that the rhino horn is a force field to force the sea water, and even though it can counteract the pressure of ninety percent of the time, it will not hold up too deep. The principle of water avoidance is to turn itself into the property of water, which is very close to the nearby sea water, and two things of the same material together, of course, will not be squeezed. The few creatures that swim around me, they don't have a hard shell, on the contrary, their bodies are very soft, maybe even the bones are soft, because their bodies are very close to the nature of water, so they are not subject to water pressure here, the same principle as the water avoidance technique!
I was in high spirits, and I sped up and sank, and after a few more minutes, I finally saw the bottom of the sea, but unfortunately before I could take a look, the lights suddenly went out, and the whole world was plunged into darkness.
