The sky is clear, the wind is beautiful, and the blue sea is sparkling in the sun.

Occasionally, a fish leaps up from the surface of the sea and plunges back into the sea, stirring up a small undulating wave and releasing the vitality of life.

No matter how you look at it, it's beautiful and refreshing.

However, not far away, a broken exclamation suddenly sounded, breaking the silence.

Several people who were sent by Takahashi to catch the octopus all overturned, and Takahashi himself was firmly "grasped" by the octopus in his tentacles and could not move.

The hawksbill turtle who was secretly watching the battle saw this, and only then did he let go of his heart.

In fact, following the exclamation just now, Takahashi and the others were already silent.

The octopus has now transformed into a juggler, skillfully throwing several ill-intentioned players into the air, catching, and then throwing them again and again.

The successive feelings of weightlessness intensified the panic in the hearts of several people, and then they inadvertently looked down to see the large octopus that played with them between the tentacles, and met the eyes full of mockery and emotional humanity, and the excessive fright made them collectively lose their voices, and they couldn't even hum.

"That's it? It's not challenging, isn't it? The octopus shook its head at the hawksbill turtle that swam over to see the play, looking dissatisfied.

Thinking that although they had malicious intentions but did not succeed, it would be enough to teach them a little lesson, so it threw a few people onto the inflatable boat where they came, and pulled the hawksbill turtle away in a dashing manner.

Takahashi and the others seemed to be immersed in a dream, and it took a long time for them to slowly regain their strength and get up.

……

When Tang Qinqin received the signal from the source of vitality, he and his companions were watching the octopus vividly reenact the process of playing Takahashi and the others just now.

She stepped aside and unleashed her psychic abilities to reach the source of life.

"I have something to ask for."

As soon as he touched the source of vitality, a very thick-sounding voice sounded in Tang Qinqin's ears.

But she vaguely felt that the voice sounded a little inconsistent.

"I have a very close relationship with the planet itself, and I know your special identity. As far as I can see, you still care about the future of this world. ”

"I have an old disease, which has never been cured, and recently there have been many 'internal and external troubles', which have added to the injury. I can only recover 1/3 of the heyday, and I will not be able to continue to protect this world for a long time by only recuperating in retreat. ”

"I want to ask you for one thing, to find as many aura stones as possible for me. It will speed up my recovery from my injuries and will be of great benefit to the life of everything on the planet in the future. ”

"What is the Aura Stone? Are there any characteristics? Tang Qinqin asked.

As the master of life on a planet, the Origin of Life can directly order humans to do things.

However, its attitude is very modest, and it speaks in a mostly honorific tone.

Tang Qinqin was a little distressed, and he respected it a little more.

"I give you a trace of vitality power, once you encounter the aura stone, it will remind you."

The source of vitality bounced a trace of vitality.

Tang Qinqin carefully put it away.

"Is there anything we need us to do for you while you're recuperating?"

She asked again.

The Vitality Origin chuckled.

"Don't worry, I still have some power to protect myself."

"Remember, where there is an aura stone, you will feel a strong sense of vitality. The more well-protected the ecological environment, the more aura stones exist. ”

……

Takahashi, who was mercilessly teased by the octopus, pushed each other and gradually approached.

When they saw the familiar octopus at a glance, they all subconsciously felt a chill on their backs.

Takahashi didn't dare to make a mistake, so he honestly buried his head and said silently: "You can't see me, you can't see me." ”

The octopus, who was originally chirping and chirping, looked calm and quiet.

"Takahashi, you have done things that are detrimental to the interests of the collective several times, and you have not repented, and now you have the idea of attacking your own brother again, what are your intentions??"

"I'm just interested in the new animal players. It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. ”

He still wanted to keep his toe high, but the octopus on the side continued to oppress him, and he didn't even dare to straighten his back.

Like minding his height, he also has an unknown "weakness", fear of heights.

As the octopus tentacles bounced back and forth, flying and landing, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to open his eyes.

All the exclamations were choked in my throat, I couldn't shout, I couldn't swallow.

Only the heart in his chest that was pounding and pounding, made him feel alive.

He now has no revenge for the shadow and fear that the octopus has brought to him, and it may be for a long time that he will talk about the "chapter" color change.

……

The Jiaolong research ship began to move forward.

According to the original plan, it was originally to arrive at the South Pole and collect data specimens before returning home, but with the mission of "Spirit Stone", another voyage mission was added, heading to the North Pole.

"Reiki stone, I think it may be a substance rich in aura that existed at the beginning of life on the planet, and then gradually disappeared into the world and was hidden with the movement of the planet's crust and the change of times."

Tang Qinqin expressed his guess.

She put a trace of vitality from the source of vitality on the detector she had placed in the sea, which she used to sense if there were places on the bottom of the sea where there were aura stones.

Planets that are rich in aura and give birth to life generally have a relatively strong ability to repair themselves, and unless they suffer a devastating blow, they can slowly recover on their own.

But in recent years, some greedy humans have not hesitated to frequently harm the ground under their feet, so that the pressure on the source of life has been repeated one after another, so that its injuries have become a chronic disease, and it is too busy to take care of itself.

As we approach Antarctica, the temperature of the sea has become very cold, and the hawksbill turtles and octopuses have to say goodbye to the players in tears.

Takahashi had already disembarked from the ship while passing through a supply place, and he didn't know about the Aura Stone, and until he knew what the Aura Stone was, the players had a tight mouth and wouldn't reveal the slightest.

"We are about to arrive at the research station in Antarctica, where the climate is very cold, everyone should pay attention to warm measures and try not to act alone."

The old crew member remonstrated to everyone again.

The Jiaolong has not yet sailed to the frozen seas, but everyone can already see a lot of ice floes floating on the sea, icebergs and glaciers rising in the distance, and penguins, an endemic species of Antarctica in black and white suits.

Seeing it with your own eyes is different from seeing it in books.

At this time, the players all ran to the deck with excited faces to see the real penguins.

It was also at this time that Tang Qinqin felt a weak response from the seabed detector.

It's an aura stone!
