Chapter 57: The Deep Sea Under the Moon
Turbidity, nothingness, silence.
This is what Lynn said about the Sea of the Moon.
The Leviathan is now in the dark waters, slowly groping its surroundings, moving here more dangerously than in the storm above.
…… But this is just a feeling, in fact, it is very calm under the deep sea of the moon, far away from the storm on the sea, all the qiē has become quiet, and all that can be heard is the rumbling sound from time to time.
'Boom...... Now, the voice is loud again.
Appears to have emanated from the seabed, but there are no anomalies around, and the Leviathan is now slowly swimming over a trench.
The water here is very turbid, and there are fine particles floating everywhere, like dust in the air.
It is not known where the particles came from, but it does mean that the sea is mixed with a toxin that even lunar creatures are not able to resist......
So, there are no living things here, and there are very few degradable substances in the sea, so there are not even fungi.
The water in the Isle of Ashes is filtered through the inner structure of the island, which is why there is a concentration of organisms.
In this sea, there is only the tranquility of nothingness...... But there's something special about it at the bottom of the sea.
Leviathan swam to the edge of the trench and reached out and gently hit the seabed.
The action of the tentacles stirred up a large amount of mud and dust, and the tentacles moved quickly, digging up all the surrounding mud and dust, and the mud and dust on the bottom of the sea had accumulated a lot, but it seemed to be because of the current of the water. The dust has not yet reached a very thick Cheng dù. When the tentacles dug almost two meters deep. The light emitted by the Leviathan illuminates the rocks beneath them.
On this rock, there are many protruding outlines.
These outlines are basically only a few centimeters long, and after sweeping away the mud, you can see clear traces of them, these things are round, elongated, and have all kinds of forms.
They are fossils.
And there are some similarities with the moon creatures you see now, albeit in different forms. However, the chitinous content of the fossils is very similar to that of previous organisms on Ash Island.
They are presumably creatures in an evolutionary system, but these in the sea are more primitive and smaller.
If you dig up the mud and dust in other places around you, you can also find some similar fossils, they are extremely rich in forms, and the Leviathan is currently swimming while digging, and now hundreds of species of creatures have been found.
This qiē all indicates...... This sea used to be a place where life was extremely rich, maybe the environment was not like it is now, but it was a good area, when did the environment of the moon change drastically?
The timing of the formation of these fossils is unclear, as all that remains is chitin. However, it is difficult to detect the age of the inner composition of these shells, which is different from the measurement method on pom-poms.
Although under the mud and dust, fossils are abundant. But there were no creatures in the dust, and this was a place where fungi could easily gather, but every time she searched, Lynn was a little disappointed.
But now Leviathan has only explored part of the ocean, and there are other places that have not been visited......
The Leviathan now swam through the previous trench and entered a place where stone pillars stood here and there......
In the dark and impurity-filled waters, the Leviathan uses sound to detect its surroundings, and the pillars here are actually small islands that stretch all the way above the surface of the sea, and it is unknown why these strange pillars are formed.
The outlines of some fossils can also be seen around these stone pillars......
Leviathan looked at the pillars, and Lynn noticed that some of the fossils looked a little closer to the primitive creatures on the pompoms.
'Goo'.
Suddenly, Leviathan heard a nearby voice, which according to detections were several blisters and a relatively large object......
Leviathan turned and looked into the distance, where the light from Leviathan shone only a hazy view in the dusty waters, and in this haze, a strange object could be seen on the seabed.
Leviathan swam over, and in a clear light, Lynn saw ...... A skeleton.
It's the creatures I've seen on the debris island before......
But this time there were more bones, not only the skull, but also the bones of the body, and the skeleton of its body seemed to be completely sealed, like an armor that wrapped the internal organs, not like the creatures on the pom-poms one by one.
Lynn was sure it was a skeleton and not a shell, and based on the marks left on it, as well as the ratio of the sternum to the skull, it could be seen that it had a layer of skin on the outside.
This bone was much larger than the one Lynn had found on Shard Island last time, but they were in the same form, and it was possible that the one on the island was a pup.
And the ingredients of this skeleton...... Unlike the chitins of moon creatures, there are no cells in them, and they don't often like to put their immune and hematopoietic organs inside their bones like pom-pom creatures......
This bone has no limbs, but it has a body and a head, but there are some traces left on it, and even some dander on the bones, which can be seen that its skin is relatively hard, and it is ......
Lynn felt that the creature had only been dead for a short time, and that it was not the poisonous dust that killed it, but another creature.
'Goo'. The sound of bubbles came from around again, and Leviathan looked around, although it was hazy, but Lin was very aware of the ......
A creature was hiding behind a stone pillar, and it seemed to be watching the qiē......
But it didn't know that the Leviathan was watching it.
The creature had no limbs, like an eel, ten meters long, more than a meter in diameter, and the shape of its head matched the skull of the bone as seen today.
I see...... It seems that this skeleton is only a small part, is its whole body actually that long?
Thinking about it, Leviathan suddenly accelerated towards the creature's location, and the creature immediately turned and fled into the distance as if it was startled.
It was so fast, a hundred meters in almost two seconds, that speed it swam at that speed, and the Leviathan was in hot pursuit, when it passed the trench before it, and the creature swam into the trench in an instant, and kept fleeing into the depths.
The width of the trench is just over two meters, and the Leviathan is too large to enter, but ...... Lynn had already set her sights on the creature.
'Bang! ’
After a dull sound, a sharp object instantly pierced through the sea and directly landed on the creature's back, and its figure suddenly jerked and stopped in the water...... (To be continued......)
