Chapter 24: Burnout
The crisis has been lifted, and Tian Lingshuang began to have the mind to slowly visit her "lotus palace". In addition to the huge hall when it entered, this palace also has five smaller halls, and there are more than two dozen large and small rooms. Both the hall and the rooms are stunning. The bed in the room is full of curtains and pillows, and the colors are mainly goose yellow, light blue, lake green, and soft white. When touched with your hand, it is light and silky. If you look closely, it looks like it's made of some kind of fiber. Tian Lingshuang studied for a while to no avail, and then returned to the hall where he first entered.
Thinking back on the danger just now, Tian Lingshuang had palpitations. Since then, the electric eel has been included in its "dangerous sea biogram" as the first dangerous creature. Because it was the first time she was in danger, she was so frightened that she completely forgot that in fact, for her, it was nothing that she couldn't control her body, because her abilities could be completely controlled by her mind! As long as she could still move her mind freely, it was enough to protect herself. For example, just now, she can use seawater condensation ice needles and ice arrows to shoot an octopus, of course, provided that this octopus is just an ordinary octopus, not some cultivation creature.
Thinking that he had just been frightened by the octopus and had forgotten his abilities outside the clouds, Tian Lingshuang was very depressed. After a long time, I lazily took out my mobile phone from the water drop space and opened it. Naturally, there is no network signal, but some of the ocean-related knowledge she downloaded from the Internet before her departure is still in her memory.
Lying comfortably on a recliner similar to the ancient Xiangfei collapse, she held her mobile phone and found the storage directory: sea creatures. Open the file and start reading the section about octopuses.
The first paragraph is a simple introduction, describing the octopus morphological species family or something, Tian Lingshuang didn't care. What caught her attention was the characteristics of the octopus introduced later, such as: the octopus is extremely good at camouflage, and can change its color and structure, and at any time disguise itself as a stone covered with algae, a bunch of coral, and a pile of glittering gravel. And then there are even certain seas, such as estuarine waters near Indonesia's island of Sulawesi, where octopuses can quickly mimic poisonous creatures such as sea snakes, lionfish and jellyfish.
The funniest thing is that the octopus is crazy about all kinds of utensils, and it loves to burrow into all kinds of containers. Thousands of octopuses were once found in a three-story sunken ship—
Tian Lingshuang shuddered when she read this. Imagine if she went to the sea where Nurse Wang's husband disappeared and found a shipwreck on the bottom of the sea, and as soon as she swam into the wreck, she would be surrounded by octopuses of all sizes.
Tian Lingshuang turned off the mobile phone and threw it into the water drop space. She decided to go out and see if the octopus had escaped or died. If she doesn't die and is found by her, she must shoot it through with an ice arrow to be ashamed!
She left the palace, and with a movement of her mind, she put away the lotus womb. After swimming around a few times, I found that the octopus was missing.
Then let's continue to swim along the route. But she had forgotten the route and didn't know which direction to swim in, so she had to float to the surface, take out the locator and look at the direction, dive down again, and swim forward.
Why didn't Tian Lingshuang swim on the surface of the sea? First, she was worried that if the satellite observed her, she would be inconvenienced in the future. The second reason is that the sea is much safer than the surface of the sea, at least in bad weather such as thunder and lightning, or when there are huge waves, the bottom of the sea is often calm. Therefore, after diving for about twenty or thirty meters, she followed the direction of the locator just now.
Fast fishing boats can reach speeds of up to 20 knots, and one section is one nautical mile per hour. Then the fishing boat was moving at full speed, and it would take more than six days to reach the final position of the research vessel before it disappeared. In the first two days, Tian Lingshuang's speed was not fast, and sometimes he was attracted by the beautiful coral reef and couldn't help but admire it. Now, with full speed ahead and time to rest, she was safely at the area where the missing fishing boat had last communicated with the outside world on the seventh day of her departure.
The water temperature here is different from that of Qingdao, and it is only 178 degrees Celsius when Tian Lingshuang is measured. She suspected that if the ship did sink and the people on board fell into the sea, they would freeze to death if they did not drown, starve to death and die of thirst. Now one can only expect that their ship did not sink, but for some reason lost contact with the outside world.
In the sea area here, the undercurrent under the sea surface is turbulent, and Tian Lingshuang was almost swept into the whirlpool several times. Although she felt that with her current physique, even if she was caught in the whirlpool, she was still daunted by the whirlpool's huge momentum that seemed to be able to tear everything apart.
She swam far away, then roamed around, finding no research ship or any sign of a human being. After being busy up and down, Tian Lingshuang felt tired. There were no islands nearby, so she thought about it, sank to the bottom of the sea, and released her "lotus womb".
She entered the hall, took out the food in the water drop space, ate it, drank some water, and then casually found a room near the palace gate hall and lay down on the bed to rest.
People are social creatures, and after only seven or eight days without seeing anyone else, Tian Lingshuang already felt lonely. She began to miss her mother, younger brother, Wang Xue, and even school, class, and familiar and unfamiliar classmates.
Probably because of mental burnout, she quickly fell asleep.
