Chapter 43: The Maelstrom

"Look at your right. Lanna and Lamia still dragged the five members of the group with their tails, swimming thousands of meters to the bottom of the sea. In the middle of the journey, the two sea tribes suddenly stopped, turned back and pointed to the right and said, "Do you see the scenery there?"

To the right of the few people, there is an open submarine plain, with no coral trees, no seaweed, only a bare sandy plain. However, although there are no phosphorus algae, this plain is not completely dark, and above the sand, there are a large number of sparkling points scattered with stars, flashing points of light, giving people the illusion of seeing the starry sky in the dark seabed.

The sandy plain covers an area of about one or two square kilometers, and above the starry sky of the sandy land, all kinds of strange and colorful deep-sea small fish swim lazily within the starlight range. In the darkness of much of the ocean, the starry sky offers hope for the underwater creatures, whose instinctive phototaxis drives these small fish less than a meter in size to congregate in the area, even if there is no food.

"It's beautiful, is this the reflection of the starry sky at night?" Freya clasped her hands in front of her chest, looked at the glittering plain of glitter stupidly, and said in a dreamlike voice: "In the hazy night, the dark sky shines with the light of the stars, and the lonely girl dances in the empty theater, no one appreciates it, no one applauds, no one applauds, but the girl still dances tirelessly, just in exchange for a review of her lover, just for ......"

"It's about the same. Lamia rigidly interrupted Freya's dreams and calmly said to Lanna, "It's time to start." ”

In the next moment, a strange change suddenly appeared, and tens of thousands of shining stars suddenly turned into a murderous weapon. From every point of starlight, more than ten meters long little finger thick transparent silk threads are ejected, and the top of the silk thread is a spiral keratinized drill bit, which uses the power of the catapult to rotate and shoot out in the water, covering almost all the space of five meters above the sea floor of one or two square kilometers. Most of the small fish were pierced into a mesh sieve before they even had a chance to struggle, and the mass of death made the surrounding sea water scarlet with blood, and several girls could feel the smell of blood from the sea even if they were still hundreds of meters away. The transparent silk threads slowly retracted under the sand, and a large number of lifeless fish slowly sank to the bottom of the sea under the effect of gravity, and dark blood continued to gush out of the dense holes on their bodies.

"They're ...... In hunting?" From the appearance of the mutation to the large-scale death, the hunt before and after no more than two seconds made the girls' faces a little ugly, and the intensive shooting made the prey have nowhere to hide, although I don't know the destructive power of each drill bit, but from the fact that it can shoot through two deep-sea fish in a row, I'm afraid it's not weak, if you enter this range without defense, whether you can have time to uncover the shield I'm afraid it's hard to say.

"At the bottom of the sea, the more attractive things are, the more dangerous they are, because those are just traps created to attract prey. Lamia explained expressionlessly: "But fortunately, the damage of these jets is not high now, and they can't pierce the ** of the legendary rank professional, if it is the gold rank, I am afraid that they will be injured." ”

Although a large area of killing was created, the murderer did not move, still flickering like a starry sky, allowing the carcasses of tens of thousands of small fish to pile up on the sand, and no creature crawled out from under the sand to devour the corpses.

"Now?" Catherine asked, surprised as she grasped the point of Lamia's words, "has their damage changed?"

"Yes, there will be changes, and you will see it in a moment. Lamia said in a deep voice, "Jeters are not such simple creatures, and their hunt is not over. ”

The deep sea was calm again, as if nothing had happened, and the starry sand still shimmered and shimmered, but no one dared to approach it again because of its beauty. The calm remained for a while, and the corners of Pannis's mouth suddenly twitched: "Here it is." ”

The waves of water at the bottom of the sea began to surge and gather here from all directions. Nearby, medium-sized deep-sea fish and monsters were attracted by the smell of blood in the water and gathered here. The deep-sea fish attracted are not small, the smallest one is five meters long, and the largest one is even more than fifty meters, they have a hideous and strange appearance unique to deep-sea monsters, they look extremely ferocious, and even some of them are difficult to believe that this is a kind of creature just by looking at their appearance. These creatures quickly gathered around the large number of corpses on the bottom of the sea and began to scramble and devour, only a very few sea monsters that seemed to be relatively intelligent successfully resisted the temptation of appetite, lingered outside the starlight range, did not compete with those creatures, and finally turned away.

And so, the hunt began again, and transparent silk threads and spiral drill bits popped out from under the sand once again. But this time it was different from the previous one, this time the number of weapons ejected was significantly reduced, each silk thread was as thick as three fingers pinched together, and the keratinized cone was the size of a human fist, and the shooting speed was significantly faster than the last time, and the power was significantly increased. However, although the number decreased, the area that needed to be covered was also reduced because the prey gathered around the pile of corpses, and the ejected silk threads once again succeeded in enveloping all the prey, and the silent killing began again. Seventeen or eighteen ferocious sea beasts also had no chance to resist, and were once again pierced into a mesh under the impact, and one by one they lost their lives unwillingly with their protruding eyes.

This time, the bottom of the sea began to move, and from under the sand came a translucent, gelatinous mass of gelatinous objects, each the size of an adult, lying on the sand like a puddle of sludge and moving towards the mountain of corpses. Thousands of gelatinous bodies lay flat on the sand, like a disgusting slimy carpet, and this disgusting feeling made the girls take a few steps back, and a disgusted expression appeared on their faces. When the colloidal body approached the pile of corpses, the large mass of colloids suddenly split, and finally scattered into a mass of glue the size of a human head, and tens of thousands of glue balls pounced on the pile of corpses, wrapping the corpses tightly, looking like a large mass of amber.

"Is that their size in the end?" Vivien's eyes twitched, and the voice made by the magic props could not hide the dryness, "They can freely change their body structure and combine them freely?"

"Yes, free combination, these are the Jets, a dangerous underwater swarming beast. Lan Na made a steady gesture and led everyone back on the journey with Lamia, not forgetting to look back and say: "These magical beasts are very intelligent, and sometimes they even set traps for triple hunting, unless it is some top-notch underwater magical beasts, no non-intelligent creatures can escape." For intelligent creatures, unless the shield is turned on, if they enter the range of their second hunt, even the legend will be seriously injured or even killed, and if they enter the range of the third hunt, the shield strength may also be broken down. But they are also easy to deal with, their hunting range will definitely have the flash plain just now, that is the scene created by their companion creatures, as long as you don't step into that range, you can avoid their hunting, this is the common sense that the sea tribes know, I'm afraid you don't know, and it will be miserable to inadvertently break in. ”

"Thanks for the reminder. Catherine grabbed Lamia's snake tail and shouted to the front, "Are there any other dangers to watch out for?"

"There are a lot of dangerous places. Lamia turned back and said, "But if you talk about the most dangerous places, it's the maelstrom. ”

The two sea tribes swam fast, quickly leaving the jetter's prey grounds behind, and in the blink of an eye, they couldn't see the shining points of light. The scenery of the bottom of the sea was fleeting under him, and the light of the phosphorus algae that appeared constantly even formed a straight line in the high-speed travel, and the oncoming underwater creatures had already dodged to both sides under the reminder of the current, leaving a high-speed passage for the people who were moving forward, and after nearly an hour of high-speed travel, Lamia stopped again, pointed to the front and said, "Look, that's one of the great whirlpools." ”

At the place where Lamia stopped, he could clearly sense the flow of the sea, and the space in front of him was dark, and there was no light. The girls turned on the crystal lamp behind them, and the long pillar of light shone ahead, but the sea water in front of them was turbid, and they could only see the sea water in the distance turning at high speed through the chaotic water and darkness.

"Large maelstroms are difficult to see with the eyes and are often only sensed by the flow of water. "These whirlpools will stretch all the way to the surface of the sea, don't look at the whirlpools here, the range of the whirlpools is not large, but if you look at it from the sea, these whirlpools tend to cover an area of tens of square kilometers," Lanna said. ”

"You must already feel the inward attraction here. "The further you go in, the stronger the suction gets until you can't control your position and the whirlpool starts to spin at high speed," Lamia said. If you are sucked on the periphery of the whirlpool, if you are lucky, you can also use the burst of fighting energy or the reaction force of magic to escape, if the distance is too close, you can't escape, you can only be sucked tighter and tighter by the whirlpool. The speed inside is very fast, it is sucked into the innermost, if the body is not strong enough, it will be torn to pieces in the blink of an eye, and the strong body can be supported for a while longer, well, for a very short period of time. I guess I can live until I am sucked into the bottom of the whirlpool and completely swallowed by the bottom of the sea. Once sucked under the ocean floor by the whirlpool, you can say goodbye to this world. ”

"Why?" Catherine asked, "where does the maelstrom lead?

"Of course not, as long as you are sucked in, it is impossible to come back, death is the only result. Lamia said with a faint expression, "Because the path below is the Elemental Abyss." (To be continued.) )
