Chapter 77
There was a steep slope below the crack. They swam downstream along the slope and saw some slightly larger underwater creatures, but they were basically dead. Occasionally there were a few living ones. When they touched them with their hands, they only moved their gills and tried to swim but couldn't.
This situation seemed abnormal no matter how they looked at it. The two men concentrated and continued to dive. The creatures that survived were all relatively large in size. There was a giant octopus wriggling in the crevice of the rock.
The depth was about 600 meters. I saw a large finned fish with a transparent brain, but it was already dead.
When he swam here, Wen Ci Qiu felt some special energy flowing. He was much more sensitive than Liu Ze in this regard, probably because he was differentiated from his master and could feel any energy.
At this time, there is no need for a signal receiver to guide the direction. The further downstream you go, the larger the space becomes. When they are close to 700 meters, the diving propulsion device can't withstand the pressure and breaks. The two can only rely on their own abilities to continue downstream.
The carcasses of small fish began to decrease, and the carcasses of several killer whales were scattered on the slope far and near.
Before they saw the target, they felt the size of the object in front of them. The sea water in front of them was turbid, and something must be struggling.
From a distance they saw the creature, an adult blue whale.
Further ahead, there is a big slope with a cliff and a rift. The huge blue whale is stuck at the mouth of the rift, and something is dragging it down.
They swam around the blue whale, and there were some transparent tentacles wrapped around the blue whale's body. Wen Ci Qiu felt that there were countless energy filaments that penetrated into the blue whale's body from all parts, depriving the blue whale of its energy. This was the culprit that prevented the blue whale from breaking free.
The two entered the gap not far from the blue whale. Occasionally, a few transparent tentacles floated past them, but did not entangle them.
The further down they went, the more tentacles there were. A few of them touched them, as if they had noticed their entry. Occasionally, a few tried to wrap around them, but they dodged them.
Later they discovered that these tentacles had thoughts. When they swam downstream towards the thing, the frames only touched it occasionally and did not wrap around it forcefully.
If they swam backwards, the tentacles floating around them would wrap around them one by one.
After swimming about 30 meters to the right, I saw densely packed short, maggot-like creatures growing and wriggling under the light. The entire crack was filled with these things.
They couldn't recognize what it was. Everywhere they looked, there were wriggling white tentacles.
Liu Ze stopped swimming downwards, feeling a little nauseous. He really didn't want to come into contact with those things.
Liu Ze took out his weapon, the Soul Lamp, and exploded the tentacles that were wrapped around him.
Occasionally, the white tentacles covering the seabed would explode, and pieces of transparent objects with the tentacles would be blown away. Under those objects were countless fish bones with some half-fallen fish skin and meat on them. These things were attached to these bones.
Seeing the fish carcasses on the ground, Wen Ci Qiu was mentally prepared that Jun Fenghuo, who had been missing for several days, might also become a carcass under one of the tentacles.
The area below is very large, and it is unrealistic to search inch by inch.
In certain situations, you will have special feelings about the things you care about, just like betting on the winner of an election. The moment the result is revealed, those who guessed correctly will think, "As expected, I was right." When you guessed wrong, you will think, "I wanted to bet on the other side at the beginning, but unfortunately I hesitated."
Wen Ci Qiu felt around and pointed to the place in front where the gurgling sound was the loudest. There was a huge bulge there. They only swam a short distance towards the bulge when it seemed that their approach startled the thing.
The long tentacles floating around seemed to be pulled by something and began to block their way forward.
The more you are not allowed to go to a place, the more you must see it clearly. Liu Ze's attack is not hindered underwater. No matter how many tentacles there are, they will be blown off when they are wrapped around them. Soon the group of tentacles becomes sparse, and the white wriggling things on the ground also suffer a lot.
As they moved closer again, there was nothing to stop them. The white layer on the ground also shrank, no longer wriggling as aggressively as before.
The large white bulge was right in front of him. Wen Ci Qiu tried to pull those small white tentacles with his hands, but they were very slippery and he couldn't catch them. Even if he grabbed a few of them, they would be like strong rubber bands. They could be stretched very long and would bounce back when he let go.
This thing is really difficult for Wen Ci Qiu, who is not even strong enough to fight a chicken.
Liu Ze deployed his subordinates' light arrays around the bulge, and it took several rounds of bombing to break through the defense of this place. White blocks with small tentacles rolled along the sea water stirred by the explosion.
From the bombed-out area, half a face was seen. Even though he was mentally prepared, it was the certainty of finding a person or the fact that the person was soaking in the water motionless and lifeless. Wen Ci Qiu reached out his hand. In fact, he didn't need to explore. In the 700-meter deep sea, there should be some person crushed into blood foam. But it was not normal to find him wrapped in that living organism intact.
My fingers explored under the man's nose, but there were no bubbles. Apart from the pale skin color that was not that of a dead person, it seemed that there was no possibility of life. I pulled the man out of the gap and placed my palm on his chest, trying to inject vitality into the heart that no longer beat, although I knew it was futile.
Then, the closed eyes opened. There was still no breathing and no heartbeat. The eyes opened just like that after he injected energy into them.
There was nothing in those determined eyes before, they were just looking at each other. Wen Ci Qiu was startled and stopped injecting energy into his hands.
The thing that opened its eyes seemed to be dissatisfied with the cessation of energy and began to twist its body. It seemed that it could not even control its hands and feet, and apart from twisting, it had no attack power.
At the same time as this thing opened its eyes, countless white tentacles spread out from the bottom of the water, turning into jellyfish of various sizes, which spread out from the bottom of the sea and wriggled in the sea water, densely blocking the view.
Liu Ze patted Wen Ci Qiu's shoulder and gestured to take this thing upstairs first.
Wen Ci Qiu's thoughts are very complicated now. It seems that he has found it, but it is not the one he is looking for.
