"It makes sense as a story, but it's not quite your style," Jiang Ling commented.

"Yeah, that's why I said there were other problems later." He pulled a handle on the equipment box and took out a fist-thick acrylic tube from the sample jar storage rack. Inside the transparent tube were several teeth about 15 centimeters long. They had been hit a few times, and one had broken in two, but he found them all.

They look somewhat like canine teeth, with serrated markings on the tip, a square protrusion in the middle perpendicular to the tip, and a four-centimeter-long dagger-shaped extension at the tail.

Their overall color is reddish-brown, but the sharp points seem to have been stained with some other substance and now appear black.

"A new variety?" Jiang Ling controlled the angle of the light and looked at it carefully.

"I don't know. I'll have to go back to confirm. Chisel-shaped teeth are common, but you have to look at the side of it... parallel scratches, do you know what that means? It means it's been processed."

Political Commissar Xiao's tone was a little serious. He paused and continued, "Honestly, I really didn't want it to appear here. The shallow sea, or the shore, or even the seabed of the continental shelf would be fine, but it ended up here, and it's embedded in the squid's head... We'd better get back quickly. Where is 509 now?"

"I don't know. If you had told me the seabed was over two thousand meters deep, I would have put on the safety line. Now I have to float up a few hundred meters before I can even hope to find them."

"Is that so? That was definitely an oversight on my part." He took two steps forward, shining the light on the muddy surface. "There seem to be quite a few small creatures here, see if you can catch a few. Since we're here, why not fill your sample jar first? We'll go back together later."

Jiang Ling thought that it was indeed possible, maybe those little things would taste good?

She moved the box behind her to her chest and lit up the [Sample Can] column on her visor with her eyes. A drawer immediately popped out above the equipment box. Several transparent tubes, controlled by Jiang Ling, floated out silently from the telescopic shelf.

With a thought, she sensed the life signals of the shrimps around her, selected the individuals with weaker signals, and used a slight psychic ability to pull them out one by one.

Soon all the sample jars were filled, and Jiang Ling even pressed them inwards to put in more.

Afterwards, Political Commissar Xiao took out a roll of safety rope from the box, connected the two people's exoskeletons, and then controlled the buoyancy of the box so that the two people could leave the seabed at a not-too-fast speed.
