Chapter 146: Drilling into the Deep Sea

'Boom......! ’

On the edge of the cliff on the coast, the black rock wall suddenly burst open, and a huge creature emerged from the large hole that had burst, and it spun at high speed and rushed into the water.

When the Pioneer's spinning body rushed into the sea from the rock wall, the surrounding polluted black water also spun like a whirlpool, like a black whirlwind expanding on the surface of the water, waiting for the Pioneer's 73-meter-long body to fully enter the water, the whirlpool slowly dissipated.

We've finally reached the sea.

The Pioneer swayed in the water, and Lynn found that swimming in the sea felt much easier than underground, and she could spin and swim in the shape of an 'S', which was quite free.

Although it quickly sank to the bottom of the sea.

The oversized body leads to excessive weight, and although the pioneer can still swallow air quickly to float, Lin is going to the bottom of the sea.

On the seabed littered with corpses, many ancient squid swam around, clutching at long bone fragments to pick open the corpses, looking for tiny creatures hiding under the bones for food, occasionally fighting for food, but at this time a third will stop the two from fighting, while some ancient squid are in pairs, building nests out of bones and stones, intending to breed in them.

There were no predators, only food everywhere, and the ancient squid could say carefree, and just as they were enjoying the peaceful life, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared from above.

It was so huge, so big that some ancient squid even froze in place, and their thoughts were filled with 'surprise'. It seems that this gets in the way of the 'fear' of the emotion.

More ancient squid escaped into the cracks in the seabed and beneath the harder trilobite carapace. They poke their heads out. Watching in horror as the giant monster moves through the sea.

The body of this monster kept spinning, and the strong water it brought rolled up the corpses and sand on the seabed, forming a storm of corpses and bones under the seabed, and countless ancient squid were swept into this storm, along with this storm, the monster drilled headlong into the seabed, and the rocks on the bottom of the sea were easily drilled away by it, and then the entire huge body also followed its head and escaped into the ground.

After its extremely long body burrowed completely into the ground. The storm at the bottom of the sea finally stopped, and a large number of ancient squid swam out of the messed up corpses and gathered around the big hole that the monster had drilled, changing colors and waving tentacles, were they discussing something about the giant monster?

There were even two of the ancient squid fighting in the process of constantly changing color, and there seemed to be a problem of different opinions.

However, some of the more daring ancient squid actually swam into this giant hole.

Lynn's Flyer also followed the Pioneer into the sea and was observing them.

In fact, Lynn has never been clear about what the word 'bold' is all about. To be bold is to be fearless, and to be. 'Gile' is a relatively common organ in living organisms that secretes a liquid that helps dissolve and absorb food, and has nothing to do with the brain's thoughts and fears.

This made Lynn wonder if there was something wrong with some of the words......

However, these ancient squid are really interesting, and creatures with larger brains will always have some strange expressions, but Lynn's current research topic is not these creatures.

The pioneer drilled through the rock formations on the bottom of the sea and headed in the direction of the trench, and Lin found that the rocks on the bottom of the sea were softer than those on the ground.

The drill bit of the Pathfinder's head is also its mouth, it splits its mouth slightly, swallows a small amount of sand and gravel in its body to analyze it to confirm the composition of these rocks, the useless stones will be expelled from the tail, and the useful ones will be quickly broken down into chitin.

Lin asked the flyer to follow the path of the pioneer on the seabed where the pioneer was located, and Lin found that the movement of the pioneer would cause small vibrations on the seabed, and these small vibrations would cause some cracks, and these cracks would grow bigger and bigger, which could lead to some larger situations, and many of the Mingshi would break away from the seabed and rise upwards because of the impact of the cracks.

Lin felt as if the entire seabed was loose, probably due to the impact of previous earthquakes, and I wonder if there will be any major problems again...... If there is another earthquake or something, the ocean that has been restored will return to its previous appearance.

The Pioneer had approached the direction of the trench, and Lynn had the Pioneer slowly drill deeper, and in the rocks inside, Lynn found some chitin from the Purgatory Worm.

'Boom! ’

Suddenly, the Pioneer's eyes lit up, and it was emerging from the rock wall of the trench, and it continued to move forward, rushing directly into the opposite rock wall.

But at this time, the Pioneer suddenly stopped moving, and one of its body was like a bridge between the rock walls on both sides of the trench, and after a pause, the Pioneer began to rotate and move again, this time Lynn drilled straight up, and with a burst of shaking of the seabed, the Pioneer drilled out near the trench.

The probe is complete.

At a depth of about 100 meters in the trench, Lynn found that the ground contained a large amount of chitin, which resembled purgatory worms, and Lin planned to call this chitin, 'Infernal chitin', and planned to collect them here.

The Pioneer itself is not responsible for gathering, it is only responsible for drilling out of the passage and exploring, and what really begins to collect is the subsidiary worms it carries, which come out of the carapace of the Pioneer and enter the passage that the Pioneer has just drilled.

The heads of the worms glowed, and Lynn found that the tunnels drilled by the pioneers were full of cracks, but they shouldn't collapse so easily, but if you drill holes in mud or sand, basically these burrows will be filled with collapsed mud and sand immediately, and if you drill holes in the rocks, the caves will generally remain stable for a while.

Lynn needs to start digging while they are stable, and the three worms start working together, one here to release the 'Gatherer', a class of digging troops, while one spins its body to drill a large amount of powder into the cave wall, and the other swims back to extract more nutrients from the Pioneer to create the Gatherer, and at the same time build a base.

In addition to muscles, the Pioneer also has a large amount of nutrients stored in his body, which can be used for his own activities, and can also be used to create more troops.

A large number of gatherers are created, and the collection of chitins begins in the caverns, and all the chitins are transported back to the base that has been built, which is full and will be lifted into the air and fly back into the Twisted Jungle.

The Pathfinder itself is not used as a base, it just drills a tunnel that can be dug up, and then sets up a base and will move on.

After loading the worms back onto its body, the Pathfinder began to spin again, this time using the pores on the carapace surface to swallow a large amount of air, which was distributed to each part of the Pathfinder's body separately, allowing its massive body to be buoyant and swim through the sea.

Lynn was going to try out the Trailblazer's second ability—filtering.

The Pioneer spun his body rapidly and swam towards the upper layer of the water, which was filled with black seawater containing various toxins, and Lynn's filtration system could cope with this toxin, and the Pioneer rushed into this black sea, while opening his mouth completely, swimming at high speed, while swallowing a huge amount of black seawater, which filtered and decomposed in the internal organs of the Pioneer.

Unlike ordinary worms, the Pioneer is not an esophagus that leads directly to the tail, it only has a small part of the front part is the esophagus, and the back is a system composed of a large number of organs that can be used to break down and filter this kind of thing, including gravel, toxins, it is a complex and complete system.

Usually the pioneer swallows the boulder can grind it into powder in the esophagus and then swallow it to decompose, while the water does not need to be ground, so the filtration speed is very fast, the water decomposes from beginning to end, and the filtration only takes tens of seconds, and the filtered water will be discharged at the tail of the pioneer.

The Pioneer constantly swallowed large amounts of polluted seawater, and clean water was emitted from the tail, while the toxic substance was compressed into a small ball by the Pioneer and discharged separately.

It didn't seem to make sense, and Lynn still didn't solve the toxic substances in the end...... Let them disperse on their own in the water.

But the Trailblazer's filtration system wasn't meant to do that.

After advancing in the black sea for a while, the Pioneer lowered his head and went downstream, as the Pioneer dived down, the surrounding light became darker and darker, and under the darkness of the invisible, the Pioneer turned on its own luminous system to illuminate the surrounding environment, and the vast seabed appeared in front of Lynn again......

There are many huge stone pillars protruding from the seabed, and at the tips of the stone pillars, a large amount of black smoke will intermittently spew out.

This is the volcano under the sea...... One of them, but they're better called underwater fountains.

This is relatively common, the smoke they eject is mixed with a large number of impurities, which have a lot of nutrients, the pioneer swims above the pillar of one of the fountains, and when the smoke is sprayed, the pioneer opens his mouth at the same time to swallow a large amount of smoke, and decomposes and filters it in the body, so as to obtain a large amount of nutrients.

In the sparsely populated oceans, pioneers had to rely entirely on these submarine fountains for nutrients, or they could also eat large amounts of seafloor mud and other decomposition to obtain nutrients.

The Pathfinder's filtration system allows it to fetch large quantities of food in the muddy mud or smoke of hydrothermal vents under the sea, so that it can travel far through the sea, and as its name suggests, the Pathfinder is used by Lynn to explore uncharted areas, but not only underground, and after testing her abilities, Lynn decides to use it to explore further afield......

For example, other continents. (To be continued......)
