Chapter 254: Deep Sea

There were no tourists in Saipan in the early morning, and it was obvious that everyone was resting, and Su Ji activated his stealth ability as soon as he got out of the water, not worrying about others seeing his abnormal performance at all.

He had already stepped on it yesterday, and together with Shang Xialiu, he confirmed where to enter the water and in which direction to swim.

Whether it is floating on the surface of the sea or swimming in the water, it is almost the same for Su Ji, who has the ability to breathe underwater. His powerful limbs and webbed fingers and strong tail allow him to swim in the water as if he were walking on the ground.

I have to say that Saipan is worthy of being a diving mecca, and the beautiful scenery under the water makes Su Ji's heart very excited, especially those colorful tropical fish are attractive, but unfortunately there is something to delay in the body.

Moving forward, Su Ji saw the wreckage of the World War II bomber sunk at the bottom of the sea, the model and wings were clearly visible, and he couldn't help but swim around the wreckage twice.

He spends most of his time sticking to the bottom of the sea, and the scenery he can't see all the way, as long as he can still see the light, it means that the depth is like that.

At a depth of 200 meters, the human eye can barely see the sun. The water depth is 200 meters ~ 1000 meters, and no earth creatures can carry out photosynthesis. The water depth is more than 1,000 meters, and no known life on Earth can see sunlight.

With his physical fitness, the depth at which he could still see light was not enough for him to worry about the water pressure.

A whale shark appears in front of him.

Whale sharks are large, arguably the largest fish in the world — blue whales, humpback whales, and other whales, to be precise, marine mammals, not fish — but they look simple, filter feeders, feed on plankton, giant algae, krill and small automigrants, and have a gentle temperament that will not attack people, so there is no need to worry at all.

It's not a matter of worrying. Su Jichao likes big fish and fish, and he didn't hesitate to reach out and say hello to the whale shark, but unfortunately he saw the whale shark, and the whale shark didn't notice his small point at all, and ignored him completely.

Su Ji didn't delay things, and even sped up his swimming, at one point imitating a shark swimming with its mouth wide open, so that the sea water could pass through his gills more quickly to filter out the oxygen.

I don't know how far the whale's call came from.

The sound was calming, a little different from the whale calls he usually heard watching videos.

Keep moving.

Why is there a sunfish at this depth?

Isn't it supposed to float on the surface of the sea?

Suji didn't say hello to the sunfish, as he was sure that his greeting would not be answered.

The reason is very simple, it is said that the sunfish is the stupidest fish in the world, any sea lion or shark can take a bite, even if it is bitten, it will not run away...... In fact, it can't resist the relationship at all. Not even to mention fighting back, even if you swim fast, you can't do it. can live until now without extinction, the main meat is not delicious, and 300 million eggs are laid at a time.

Swim, swim.

Su Ji didn't know how long he swam, looked around, and gradually lost sight of the light, indicating that the depth exceeded two hundred meters. He felt the pressure of the water, but that was it, it felt like a heavy quilt on his body.

It's really not fitting to have no light.

Now what about the light, take out the flashlight?

Su Ji narrowed his eyes when he opened them again. Two bright rays of light came out of his eyes.

The bottom kilometer of the water belongs to the deep ocean.

Su Ji saw the great white shark swimming towards him, and immediately put on a posture, hanging in the water and opening the claws of the eagle and the tiger's palms, the corners of his mouth pulled up and showed fangs, and Long Wei was not triggered.

It's just that the great white shark didn't have the idea of attacking him at all, and swam directly above his head.

He looked back at the distant figure of the great white shark, and had the heart to test how powerful his dragon might was underwater, and thought about it.

The glowing fish that I have never seen before, with a body length of dozens of centimeters and a mouth full of sharp fangs, looks particularly hideous.

Hagfish, which have almost zero vision, are said to be able to feed on their skin, and directly use their skin to suck nutrients from dead bodies. This is really the biggest in the world, and there are no surprises.

Now, he didn't swim in the wrong direction. Su Ji took out Shang Xialiu's modified satellite navigator and looked at it, he didn't swim in the wrong direction, but it was best to fine-tune the direction.

This goblin shark is all black, and if you don't pay attention to it, you can't see it at all, and it looks much better than looking at the pictures on the Internet, and of course it's ugly.

Nature is undoubtedly aesthetic, otherwise there would be no crows that like to collect shiny things, and many males grow showy feathers in order to compete for mates, while females are unremarkable in comparison. Is this really that there is no light in the deep sea, and no one looks at it anyway, so it grows casually?

Of course, the reason why all the deep-sea fish seen by humans are so ugly is mainly because the deep-sea fish are lost and inflated when they are fished by people.

I saw a deep-sea anglerfish. With a lantern on his head, his fins resembling four legs, like a toad, are simply ugly.

At this depth, the main stream that inhabits the abyssal plains becomes benthic organisms, all small fish, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, polychaete worms and shells, and the sea snow that settles in the upper layers is their feast. Sea snow is a floc made up of surface debris, feces, and dead plankton that settle to the bottom of the ocean within a few days.

Sudge longs to see the whale fall.

Bottom creatures are small in size and low in metabolism, so they don't need much food, and the carcass of a single whale can support them for up to a hundred years. The ecosystem formed by the whale after death and falling into the deep sea is given the name by biologists, and is called the "oasis" of deep-sea life, along with hydrothermal and cold springs.

Four thousand meters below is the abyssal layer of the ocean.

The water depth of 6,000 to 11,000 meters is the ultra-abyssal layer of the ocean, the deepest part of the ocean, which exists in the narrow trench of the ocean floor, which can be described as the abyss within the abyss. Ultra-abyssal habitats are few in the world's oceans, with only more than 30 trenches and more than a dozen depressions in total.

The current water pressure has made Su Ji feel the pressure, and he can barely bear it.

He didn't dare to dive so fast, he only dared to go downstream slowly, and he didn't even dare to continue downstream, until he found that his body was adjusting to the water pressure, and the heavy pressure that made people felt was slowly reducing, and finally disappeared completely.

Su Ji was now diving slowly, stopping and wandering when he felt the pressure, until his body adjusted to the water pressure and did not feel pressure before continuing to dive.

It wasn't just the water pressure that made Su Ji feel stressed, but the cold of the deep sea also made him shiver.

He had no way of judging how deep he had dived, and could only judge what depth he had roughly measured by the fish he saw, for example, if he saw a blunt-mouthed lionfish, he could tell that he was about 7,000 to 8,000 meters deep.

Sudge was sure he had descended to the Mariana Trench, but it was not known if he had reached the deepest point of the earth, the Fichaz Abyss.

Legend has it that the deep sea hides unknown giant creatures and prehistoric sea monsters, but the deep sea in Su Ji's eyes is a place more barren than a desert.

Su Ji didn't feel ready to move on to the next stage, and at this time he didn't know where to go at all, so he could only wander around aimlessly.

The huge water pressure makes people feel stressed, and the pressure can gradually get used to, and the cold makes it difficult to adapt.

Su Ji found an undersea hot spring, which was formed by the crust colliding with each other to produce seabed cracks, and the heat wave under the earth's crust was surging and leaking.

He had long learned from studying geography that the temperature of those underwater hot springs could be as high as 400 degrees Celsius because of pressure. However, his fire resistance is quite high, and he is not even afraid of flames, so he is afraid of a 400-degree hot spring.

He bumped head-on, ready to rest and warm up.
