Chapter 45: Sailfish
Linde never thought he would be so happy just because he was in the sea, the corals in all their different postures, the colorful inshore fish seemed to greet him, and the crabs on the reef waved huge pincers at him.
He was always thinking of swimming farther, deeper, darker places. 200m, 300m, 500m......
In the future 2006, the explorer Zeon. Nairi set a new record for the deepest freehand dive at the time – 106 meters.
In 2014, the record for the deepest dive with equipment was broken, bringing this figure to 332 meters.
The challengers of these two records have been preparing for months or even years in order to succeed in the challenge. Even the time of the challenge must be carefully chosen to avoid storms, currents, etc.
On the day of the challenge, these challengers managed to achieve these records by jumping into the sea and stepping on the bones with the determination to die.
Now, Linde has easily broken those records. Seabed pressure? Obstructed by light? Scuba, ear pressure, blood oxygen ...... All of this is something he doesn't have to worry about.
Lind didn't know how deep or far he had swam, he just knew that it was a depth he had never reached. And all of these changes come from changes in one's own body.
In this lightless place, he can still receive the most brilliant colors. If he had a mirror now, he would be able to see his own eyes, which had turned into blue square pupils.
He was suspended in the water. Then I saw an interesting scene.
A squid slightly larger than Lind saw him, and perhaps in its mind, the unknown creature saw nothing here, its emaciated limbs powerless.
Prey, no, it's food!
Not even qualified to be called prey.
Thinking of this, its limbs groped and wrapped around in the darkness until it floated on top of him, and when the tentacles were about to wrap around him, he didn't even realize his crisis, and the squid was even more sure that his decision was correct.
It's time for a hearty meal.
Lind looked at the big squid floating on his head. It's been a long time since a sea cargo dares to do anything to him.
Is it because it feels like it's big? Because it hasn't seen itself? Unbeknownst to Linde, this was his first time in this depth.
But it doesn't matter. The larger the water environment, the greater the increase in his body.
He just doesn't look like he has much power, and his biggest record was a hand-to-hand fight against a nearly 2-metre sixgill shark off the coast last year. At that time, he was fighting in the sea, and it was called a fierce one.
It's just such a squid a little bigger than him, he really doesn't feel scared.
Just as he was about to make a move, he sensed through the current of water that an extremely fast guy was rushing towards him from his left, and at the same time, there was a strong kindness in the comer.
In the blink of an eye, the creature was in front of Linde's eyes.
Burst!
The high-speed impact even created a vacuum chamber, which exploded beneath the depths of the ocean.
The squid was smashed to pieces, and his two tentacles slipped out of Lind's eyes. Even Linde was pushed a few meters away by the current.
That's when he saw what it was.
It has a blue-gray complexion and a thick dorsal fin, with several light blue lines on each side of the body. Their mouths are thin and long, and their appearance resembles that of a slender sword.
A sailfish.
Naturally, Linde had seen a swordfish, but the one in front of him was different from anything he had ever seen.
It should be said that this is a giant sailfish. Even aside from its slender mouth, its body still reaches more than 5 meters, and at the same time, Linde can sense some of its refined thoughts, that is, this is a sailfish that he can communicate normally.
You know, although he can communicate with some creatures without barriers, it is based on the other party's certain intelligence. There is a difference between it and Tom Riddle's command critters.
Watching the squid's blood and ink sac gradually fade in the sea, the swordfish smashed the squid into pieces and began to circle around Linde and began to slow down.
Linde felt the kindness in him, and he didn't act rashly. But I'm still a little stunned when I look at this swordfish.
Sure enough, he is not a real sea king, so it is better to be cautious and cautious in this kind of deep sea in the future.
In a short time, the swordfish circled more than three times, then returned to its normal swimming speed, and slowly swam towards Linde.
When it reached Linde, the sailfish opened its long mouth and arched him affectionately, like a puppy.
Linde felt its thoughts, and touched it.
"No wonder!"
No wonder the swordfish crashed into it directly, you must know that its speed just now definitely exceeded 130km/h, but without a trace of hesitation, it crashed directly into the squid.
Lind ran his head down to its pointed mouth.
Its mouth is extremely hard, and its head is covered with a crust. Such skin, let alone bumping into a squid, is directly with some big guys.
Even more peculiar is its dorsal fin. Normal sailfish have a large dorsal fin on one side, but its dorsal fin is divided into two parts, and the dorsal fin in the center of its body splits apart, leaving a vacancy of about half a meter.
It's definitely a magical creature raised by a fish-man.
The open fin has soft skin on its back. This is clearly for people to ride.
"Uh-huh"
A brief cry sounded in the sea, but it was still clear to Linde's ears.
You let me ride it? Linde asked suspiciously.
The swordfish shook its huge body in pleasure in affirmation.
But Linde was hesitant, where was it going to take herself? He can barely remember the way he came, but if he wants to let this swordfish run around with him, he will definitely not be able to go further in the first place, and his body can adapt to the depth of free movement under water pressure.
But he didn't feel a trace of malice in this swordfish, so he was a little undecided.
Linde checked again to see if it knew the way, and replied in the affirmative.
Done!
He was also curious as to where the creature was clearly made of magic and wanted to take him, it was the first time he had come into contact with something related to magic in the sea he was familiar with. This curiosity and thirst for knowledge has been tickling his nerves.
Linde sat on its back, its dorsal fin arched in two in front of him, as if he were riding a motorcycle.
Lind grabbed its fin, and once he was sure he was seated, the swordfish began to pick up speed toward a place he had never been before.
When a whole dorsal fin is split into two segments, it is much less integral, but with two fins that can be manipulated separately, its flexibility is greatly increased.
Just like when racing on the ground, the sound of gurgling bubbles kept whistling in his ears, and his gills began to lose some of their breath.
I wonder if Bikini Beach sells helmets for racingfish?
