Chapter 184: Dragon Tribulation, Deep Sea Meets Warship
As the tide receded, the sea returned to calm, and the blue water did not look like a blue gem from afar.
The sea is multifaceted, it gives human beings abundant marine resources, but it is also terrifying, a small turnover, can overturn the fishing boats on the ocean, no one can provoke the majesty of the ocean.
The fishermen can be said to be apprehensive about the wave just now, some people think that it is just an accident, and the older generation thinks that it is the dragon king at the bottom of the sea.
"I think this is the Dragon Lord blessing us."
"Uncle, we have to believe in science, there is no dragon lord in this world."
"Then you explain, how can such a big wave retreat, who else can do it except the Dragon King?"
The young man just wanted to refute, but suddenly felt as if something had hit the top of his head, and the salty breath came to his face, and there was a slippery and sticky feeling when he touched it with his hand.
He took off the top of his head and saw that it was a small fish the size of a palm, as if it had just been caught from the sea, and kept slapping its tail.
The young man was immediately indignant, "Who hit me with a fish!" ”
The old fisherman next to him laughed and teased: "Who let you talk nonsense, this is the dragon lord punishing you." ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard a "bang", and a few more fish smashed on the ground.
It's a little bit out of the sea, and it's impossible for these fish to be swept by the waves, but rather to fall from the sky.
Everyone's expressions became a little confused, and they subconsciously looked up at the sky, but they couldn't help but widen their eyes.
Countless fish fell from the sky in a dense manner, mixed with sea creatures such as shrimp and crabs, and even seaweed.
The sound of crackling was incessant, like firecrackers, but in a matter of moments, the original beach had been occupied by these fish.
Everyone hurriedly found a place to hide, so as not to be smashed by these things.
Countless fresh fish fell from the sky, all kinds of them, common and uncommon, and the young man was stunned: "This is a fish rain?" ”
The old fisherman smiled from ear to ear, "This is the compensation given to us by the Dragon King." ”
After speaking, he folded his hands and bowed reverently to the sea, "Thank you, Lord Dragon King." ”
This young man didn't say anything like feudal superstition, his expression was a little complicated, and the strange things one after another really subverted his usual concept.
The waves had just passed, and now it was raining such a strange one.
The rain lasted for 10 minutes, and the ground was full of jumping fish, and the fishermen picked up their nets and were happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.
"Now it's okay, we don't have to go to sea to catch fish."
"Harm, I'm still worried that there will be no harvest today, but now it seems that God has already arranged it."
"Who's to say it's not, this fish is enough for us to eat for days."
Originally, because of the bad weather, they were restricted from going to sea, which is equivalent to no income for most of the day, but now these fish falling from the sky can be regarded as making up for their losses.
Some people don't even bother to pick up their fishing nets, they just grab them on the ground and they can return with a full load.
The scene was unexpected by everyone, and everyone had a smile on their faces.
Compared to the fishermen on this side who were busy catching fish on the shore, the search and rescue team on the other side also immediately took action, although they knew that the possibility of the whale landing survival was very small, but they would not give up any possible opportunities.
The search and rescue team followed the last signal before the Whale Fall went missing, and although the waves and waterspouts had dissipated, it did not mean that the sea had become completely harmless.
The dark water seems to be calm, but there is an inexplicable undercurrent, as if there is a huge phantom lurking in the depths of the sea.
"The last signal left by the Whale Fall was here, and based on the wind speed at the time, as well as their range estimates, it is very likely that it is heading east."
The search and rescue team continued to drive eastward, unaware of the countless green rays in the sea, converging from all directions to the depths of the seabed.
Unconsciously, a faint layer of fog rose up, like a white veil shrouded in the sea.
"Why is it foggy all of a sudden?"
The members of the search and rescue team frowned, only feeling that the weather in the sea area today was really strange, first there were waterspouts, then huge waves, and now there was fog.
"Everyone be careful, pay attention to the surrounding situation at all times, and see if there is any trace of the whale landing."
Fortunately, the search and rescue team is experienced and all of them are veterans, although the fog affects their vision a little, but as long as it is not the extremely bad weather like a storm, they can still cope with it.
The milky white mist drifted over the ocean like a disembodied ghost, and soon flooded the water, and the surrounding scenery became more and more blurred.
As far as the eye can see, they seem to have driven to a mysterious continent, where only white remains, which makes people feel unrealistic.
Because of the fog, they didn't see the green water, which was almost able to form a substance, constantly shuttling at the sea level.
The search and rescue team had been trying to contact the Whale Fall, and at this moment the signal detector looked at the picture on the instrument and was dumbfounded, thinking that he was hallucinating.
"Team, Captain! Caught the information of the Whale Fall. ”
Hearing the news, everyone's spirits lifted, "Where is the Whale Fall now?" ”
This means that the Whale Fall was lucky enough to escape the waterspout and managed to escape, but since they did, why not return? Didn't send them a distress signal either?
There were all kinds of doubts in everyone's hearts, but the words of the inspector next made them even more strange.
"Captain, the instrument shows that the Whale Fall is next to us!"
"How is that possible!"
They were able to detect the signal of the Whale Fall, which means that the Whale Fall was also able to detect them, why has it been delayed?
Could it be that something happened on board?
"Call the Whale Fall, we are a search and rescue team, how are you doing now, if you receive it, please contact us quickly!"
Several short messages were sent in a row, but they were all lost in the sea, and there was no response.
Although the fog around them was so large that it obscured most of the view, if there were ships in the vicinity, it was impossible for them not to be unaware.
The sudden appearance of the fog was so strange that it seemed to completely separate them from the Whalefall, like a ghost hitting a wall.
The distance between the two seems to be close at hand, but in fact it is far away.
"Roar!"
Just when everyone was puzzled, a strange roar sounded again.
Everyone's faces changed slightly, compared to the previous ethereal, unrealistic, this time the strange sound was very clear, it seemed to be near them!
The sea breeze blew and slightly dispersed the fog, and in the moment of lightning, the search and rescue team finally saw the scene on the sea at this moment.
Countless green bubbles jumped out of the sea level, as if they had their own lives, transforming into elves, and the whole scene looked extremely dreamy.
The eyes widened to see more clearly, but the mist quickly closed, blocking their snooping vision, and nothing could be seen.
"What the hell is going on!"
"Did those green bubbles just come out of the ocean?"
"I've seen a lot of strong winds and waves, but I've never seen such a strange scene."
"Could it be that something has happened in the depths of the ocean?"
Just when everyone was talking, in the ocean not far from the search and rescue team.
A huge black shadow lurked here, faintly able to see the faint green light, Ye Qin's eyes were closed, like a deep-sea beast, the horns on his head exuded a strange look, and the coercion on his body also made people shudder.
The surrounding waters are like an abyss, as if they can swallow up any light, but the green scales, like the morning star in the eternal night, will never be extinguished.
The aura of water gathered layer upon layer, they themselves had no color, but because of Ye Qin's influence, a green film of water was formed to completely envelop him, and at this moment, Ye Qin's spiritual power was all released, and he finally figured out the abnormality of his body.
It turns out that he is going to turn into a Jiao!
The moment he jumped into the sea, it seemed to stimulate the ancient bloodline in his body, Ye Qin's body was just an ordinary little green snake, and with his cultivation and realm ascension, the bloodline also mutated.
From the moment he had horns on his head, Ye Qin knew that he would turn into a dragon.
Great Xia has been respecting the dragon since ancient times, claiming to be the descendant of the dragon, in the past ancient times people believed that the monarch was divinely granted, and the Son of Heaven was the embodiment of the golden dragon, so the clothes worn by the Son of Heaven were called dragon robes, and the chest would be embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon.
As long as all creatures are related to dragons, their status will be improved a lot, and even fish want to jump over the dragon gate and become real dragons.
But are dragons really the most precious beings?
In fact, it is not true, in ancient mythology, Nuwa, who made up the heavens and created the human body as the creator of the world, is the head of the snake body, and the ancestor of the Chinese people's humanities, Fuxi, is also the body of the snake.
In the past, many ancient tribes used snakes as totems.
There are many mythical beasts related to snakes in mythology, which are only stronger than dragons.
It's just that as time goes by, in the long course of history, there are fewer and fewer people who believe in snakes, but there are more and more people who believe in dragons.
But in fact, for Ye Qin, whether it is a snake body or a dragon, it is a process of his comprehension of the Great Dao.
Therefore, he did not think about changing himself, let alone the evolution of the physical body.
Because if the origin changes, it is not the original self anymore!
Therefore, no matter what it will become in the future, the snake body will always be the original body!
It's just that now because of the influence of the realm and state of mind, he needs to turn into a dragon, to experience, to comprehend this process, and to feel the epiphany brought about by this evolution, which can be regarded as a kind of satisfaction.
Therefore, Ye Qin chose to enter the sea and turn into a Jiao, but this was naturally only temporary. Because the dragon is not his ultimate goal, it must be known that returning to the basics and returning to the origin is the supreme avenue.
Therefore, Ye Qin is no longer confused now, and has a sufficient plan for the future cultivation path.
"Huajiao, Jackie Chan, go through this process, comprehend this creation, and finally accumulate thick and thin, return to the basics and turn into a divine snake!"
After figuring out the path he was going to take in the future, the last shackles were finally completely broken, and the green membrane that was originally wrapped around his body was also shattered.
Because of this, the surrounding sea area is affected, and the magnetic field has become larger, setting off huge waves and waterspouts.
However, fortunately, Ye Qin's spiritual power sensed all this and nipped the danger in the bud in time, so that it did not set off a greater marine disaster.
Ye Qin was not good at water, but at this moment he had a faint illusion that the entire sea area was under his control, even if he had not fully woken up now, his spiritual power was active, and he was constantly swimming along the sea.
He didn't know where he was going, he only knew that the road was endless, as if there was no end, and this experience was full of novelty for Ye Qin.
The emerald green pupils slowly opened, and there were no words to describe the gaze, spanning the distance of time and space, like a behemoth, gently cast in the long river of history.
There are no more marine life in this area.
The sea creatures in the distance noticed something and froze in place, and the fish that had been swimming stopped as if they had been pressed the pause button.
If someone is in the ocean at this moment, they will find that these sea creatures are behaving strangely, as if they are all staring in the same direction, and their eyes are straight, and they can see a look of fear and awe on the faces of these creatures.
As Ye Qin swam in the ocean, the entire sea became uncalm, and countless ripples spread out, and at this moment his figure was huge, more than thirty meters, equivalent to the height of a ten-story building, and the length of a Boeing plane.
This body length has far surpassed that of the previous Jiao, and it has increased several times due to.
The horns on his head are full of vicissitudes, and even his abdomen has four claws.
Four claws are Jiao, and five claws are dragons.
As he swam, the sea made waves, and countless green rays swam again, shuttling through the entire sea.
The search and rescue team could detect the obvious shaking of the hull, as if there was a behemoth in the sea that had turned over, but the fog was so thick that they couldn't see anything clearly.
Compared with the endless sea, the search and rescue team is like a small leaf, floating on the sea, and everyone is inexplicably a little uneasy in their hearts.
After a long time, the shaking finally subsided, and a ray of sunlight shone through the thick sky on the surface of the sea, and the fog gradually dissipated, and the sea glowed blue and green like fish scales.
Seeing the long-lost sunshine, everyone was relieved, there was a feeling of seeing the sky through the clouds, the dark clouds and the haze in their hearts were also dispelled, and the ocean finally ushered in calm.
"Look there!"
I only heard an exclamation, not far from them, a ship was slowly sailing on the sea, it was the whale that had lost contact before!
The Whale Fall was intact, but strangely enough, the hull was exceptionally quiet, and no human figure was to be seen.
"Are you all right?"
The search and rescue team shouted at the top of their voices, but there was no response from the boat, so they had to send a few small boats to land on the Whale Fall to see the situation.
Seeing that the Whale Fall was getting closer and closer, a search and rescue team member on the small boat seemed to see something out of the corner of his eye.
Beneath the clear blue waters, huge black shadows could be seen swimming by, creatures like sea snakes, but they were even bigger than sea snakes, and they could easily overturn their boats.
A trembling feeling rose inexplicably in the hearts of the team members, "Is it my delusion, how do you feel like there is something there?" ”
His companion looked in the direction he was pointing, the sea shook slightly, and it was pitch black underneath, but he could see nothing, and he looked several more times, but still found nothing.
"You're mistaken, there's nothing there."
The team member rubbed his eyes, "Maybe I'm really dazzled." ”
At this moment, the boat was close to the Whale Fall, and everyone successfully landed.
Only then did I understand why the Whale Fall had not responded, because none of the people on the entire ship were awake and all fell to the ground.
If it weren't for the slight heaving of his chest, he would be almost indistinguishable from a dead man.
"Life is stable, and breathing."
After some examination, none of them had any obvious injuries on the outside, but somehow they fell into a coma.
The search and rescue team drove the Whale Fall back to the shore and sent these people to the hospital as soon as possible.
The people in the hospital who fell on the Whale soon woke up, and the incident became a local anecdote.
After all, no one expected them to come back alive, and the scale of the waterspout was terrifying, but not only were they intact, but even the hull of the ship was not damaged.
Because the incident was so bizarre that it even attracted the attention of the local news media, someone went to interview them.
The crew members who survived the disaster were full of joy and told their personal experiences.
"You don't know how dangerous it was, when we saw that the waterspout was about to swallow us, and suddenly there was a burst of green light, and then we passed out, and when we opened our eyes, we were already in the hospital."
The reporter with a professional smile on his face also looked slightly unnatural when he heard such exaggerated words.
"You mean, the waterspout had engulfed you at the time, but a mysterious force stopped it?"
The crew nodded sharply, "So to speak, and I heard strange screams before I fell unconscious, and I saw a huge black shadow, and I don't know what kind of creature it is?" Could it be that the god of the sea is not successful? ”
When the crew next to him heard this, they immediately retorted to their companions, "What a sea god! That's the West, let's not do this, it's clear that the Dragon King is blessing us. ”
"Not to mention, that shadow is thick and long, and it really looks a bit like a dragon."
"And have you noticed that when these strange things happened, there was no trace of fish and shrimp activity in this water, maybe there were already signs."
After the report came out, many people felt that the crew of the Whale Fall was bragging.
"It's too mysterious, it feels like I'm listening to a fantasy story, if it's really that close to the waterspout, there is absolutely no chance of them surviving."
"But there's no need for them to lie, and the search and rescue team also said that the location of the Whale Fall is very close to the waterspout."
"Maybe the waterspout didn't engulf the Whale Fall and finally changed direction?"
"If the waterspout had been near the Whale Fall at that time, not to mention the people, even the hull would have been destroyed."
There were many opinions on the Internet, and soon someone broke out, and at the same time that the waves and waterspouts disappeared, there was also a rain of fish.
In the eyes of the fishermen, this is clearly a gift from the Dragon King, and the Dragon King's apparition is even more noisy, and it is also he who blessed the people of the Whale Fall, which allowed the Whale Fall to survive the waterspout.
"It's all scientifically explainable, but it's really weird."
"When things go wrong, there must be demons, not to mention so many strange things gathered together."
"Can anyone explain the strange call, it can't be the sound of dolphins or whales?"
"I think it's a familiar sound, like I've heard it somewhere."
The waterspout encountered by the Whale Fall, the vast white fog encountered by the search and rescue team, the monstrous waves, and the sudden rain of fish, these things are full of unusual smells.
It's too much of a coincidence to take it out casually, but now it's all on the same day.
And in all of these things, there is one thing in common, and that is that everyone hears the roar of unknown creatures.
However, in the eyes of those old fishermen, these are all signs of the dragon king's apparition, and that strange cry is naturally a dragon's roar.
This kind of thing is the attitude of everyone is to believe it, after all, I have not experienced it myself, and I don't know the magic in it.
At this moment, Ye Qin was completely unaware of the wind and waves he set off on the shore, he swam in the depths of the ocean, and the scene he saw was completely different from the land.
All kinds of amazing algae and plants of the sea grow in the huge crystal palace, which makes people dazzle and immerse themselves in this blue world.
He restrained the terrifying aura on his body, so there were more small fish and shrimp around, and because of the overflowing aura around him, there were even many schools of fish that were attracted to him.
However, no matter how much you restrain your breath, you will still unconsciously reveal a little bit, that is the momentum of mythical creatures, so those fish and shrimp only dare to follow from a distance, and they don't dare to get too close, lest they offend Ye Qin.
And whether it is a dragon or a dragon, it has to go through the baptism of the heavenly tribulation before it can be considered complete!
Originally, Ye Qin was going to cross the tribulation, but considering that now was not the best time to cross the tribulation, he had no confidence that he could withstand this thunder tribulation, so he temporarily suppressed the energy in his body.
Therefore, this time the transformation is not complete, and there are still many flaws in the body.
It is necessary to wait until another day to cross the catastrophe, which can be regarded as a true transformation, and even some magical powers that belong to the dragon clan can be born because of this.
As for the specifics, Ye Qin couldn't figure it out, after all, it was the only one in this world, and all the roads had to be walked by themselves.
At this moment, as Ye Qin moved, the dark clouds above his head gathered, pressing the entire sky to sway, which was a sign of the imminent tribulation, but because Ye Qin suppressed the realm, the tribulation thunder could not land for the time being, just like the first tribulation before.
But this dark cloud will remain with you until the doom comes.
"Now I have reached the third realm of the primordial gods."
After the success of the Jiaojiao, Ye Qin's cultivation also broke through logically, the Yuan Shen was completely condensed, and at the same time, he also initially comprehended a new magical power, which could control the size of his body at will.
In "Journey to the West", there is a kind of supernatural power called Fa Tian Xiang Earth, the caster can incarnate into heaven and earth, imitating the scale of heaven and earth, as tall as the sky, as wide as the earth, and belongs to the great supernatural power.
The supernatural powers that Ye Qin mastered were somewhat similar to this, and he was able to change the size of his body at will.
However, according to his current realm, it is still a little difficult to make his body as big as heaven and earth, but there is still no problem in shrinking it to the original level.
At the moment, he is at the bottom of the sea, and there are no humans around him except fish and shrimp, so he maintains the huge body of the Jiao, and when he goes ashore, he will turn into the original size, which is also much more convenient.
Now Ye Qin doesn't plan to land on the shore, he has just turned into a Jiao, and there is a wealth of water aura in the bottom of the sea, which is very beneficial to his cultivation and can also nourish his body.
"Due to the reason for the breakthrough just now, the water aura of this sea area has been almost absorbed."
Ye Qin used his spiritual power to carefully perceive it, there was too little aura here, he couldn't absorb it all, and there was always room for it.
His eyes looked at the ocean not far away, with a bit of depth and coercion, the whole sea is connected, although this sea area is gone, it does not mean that there are no other places.
……
In the open sea, the closest to the East China Sea, a warship floats on the ocean, its black hull like a big bird.
A red sun rose above the white flag, and the hunting sound of the wind was blowing, and it was a search frigate of Shenzhao Country.
Its flight deck is 93 meters long, the maximum width is 10.8 meters, the speed is 24 knots, the power is about 10,900, and there are 4 twin anti-aircraft guns and 8 meter triple machine guns built on the hull.
"Didi-Di-"
At this moment in the cockpit, a screeching sound suddenly came from the instrument, which immediately attracted the attention of the pilot, "What's going on?" ”
"Looks like some creature is approaching the ship."
I saw a small red dot above the instrument, which was approaching them at a very fast speed, and the driver couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this speed.
"That's too fast! What creature can be so fast? ”
Realizing that something was unusual, they immediately reported the news to the ship's supreme commander, Hirokazu Yamano.
"Report sir, an unidentified object has been detected approaching rapidly!"
Hiroichi Yamano frowned, "Is it a ship or submarine from another country?" ”
The entire sea area was very large, and as far as the eye could reach, they were driving in one boat, and they did not see other ships.
Hiroichi Yamano couldn't help but get into a conspiracy theory, wondering if a foreign ship was secretly approaching them.
The person in charge of the inspection kept giving instructions on the console, looked at the information fed back in the database, and then shook his head.
"It's not like it, the information fed back by the system is very vague, and it is not in our data collection database, which can basically exclude things like warships or submarines, and there is a high probability that it will be marine life."
This sentence immediately aroused the interest of Yamano Koichi.
The warship has the most advanced detection and capture system in Kamizhao Province, but strangely, it can't catch what this object is.
"It's not in the database, go over and see what it is."
Yamano Koichi is not worried about any accidents, after all, the defense and attack on the warship are world-class.
"Roger!"
The pilot quickly reversed the ship and headed east, following the position shown by the small red dot on the instrument. (End of chapter)
