Chapter 38 Fighting for Strangeness and Beauty
Since seeing the first lantern fish, the life of the Fifth Xuan is no longer so boring.
He began to explore the world in the deep sea with the help of some luminous fish.
"This, this, this, I know it. I saw it on Douyin. What's your name? What's your name... Let me think about it."
The Fifth Xuan looked at a reptile with a hard carapace next to it through the lantern of a lantern fish, and couldn't think of its name.
"I recognize the groove on your back, which is divided into three parts. It's called something... Trilobite, that's you. I finally recognized your grandson."
The Fifth Xuan jumped excitedly in the totem.
In fact, this thing is not new. His evolved species still survive in the 21st century. It is one of the most durable creatures on earth.
"Wait, I remember that this thing of yours is not a deep-sea creature, floating on the sea, isn't it? How come you are in the sea trench?"
Diwu Xuan was puzzled, and wanted to catch this disgusting-looking guy to ask him clearly, but it was obviously impossible.
"Are you not a trilobite like the one on Earth? Grandpa is admitting his mistake... Are you kidding? Take your grandpa with you, okay?"
He was complaining when he saw the trilobite suddenly jump up, and then the whole body floated up, getting higher and higher, and it was obvious that it could float directly to the surface of the sea.
This made Diwu Xuan very angry. You are a thing on the sea surface, why are you jumping around for no reason? It's so annoying?
However, no matter how angry he was, it was useless. Soon the lantern fish left, and the surroundings fell into endless darkness again.
"Dead, go to sleep."
After complaining angrily, Diwu Xuan calmed down his mind again and fell asleep slowly.
In the darkness, the cylindrical totem was constantly washed by the sea water, and in its gaps, there was a grass-green light flickering.
The flickering light slowly absorbed the mud and sand on the seabed, filling the gaps in the cylindrical totem and its uneven surface.
This is a process so slow that it is invisible to the naked eye. It may take a year to fill the most subtle lines, and it may take three to five years to fill a pit.
But in this deep seabed where no light can be seen, what Diwu Xuan lacks the most is time.
If time is really like a woman's cleavage, then his breasts must be particularly majestic.
After sleeping for an unknown period of time, Diwu Xuan slowly woke up. He looked around habitually, but was startled by a strange existence beside him.
This thing had a crying face, and its body seemed to be made of snot. It seemed that there were no bones in its body, and its body swayed left and right with the drifting of the sea water.
It lay beside Diwu Xuan like a pool of rotten mud, and its skin was white like rotten meat that had been soaked for a long time, and it looked extremely disgusting.
"It's bad. Although this place is dark and you don't have to see people, is it really okay for you to look so casual?"
This time, Diwu Xuan was not complaining, he asked seriously, even though he knew that this snot fish could not hear.
A fish that grew up to look like this has exceeded the limits of Diwu Xuan's imagination.
Even aliens wouldn't look like this. This image is simply a discredit to the species on Earth as a whole, severely lowering the appearance of species on Earth.
"Just die. What's the point of living?"
Diwu Xuan said affectionately. This was a sincere word from the heart.
He believed that anyone who saw the snot fish (blob fish) would definitely not mind the extinction of this species.
"Huh... Why is it so bright here?"
Diwu Xuan suddenly realized when did this deep sea become so bright.
He looked around and suddenly found that there was a light wall in front of him.
There were several light spots on the light wall, which made the front of him bright, so that he could observe the snot fish.
"What the hell is this?"
Diwu Xuan wondered doubtfully, and looked around, but found that the light wall was too close and he couldn't see the head and tail clearly.
A lantern fish swam over from the left side, and Diwu Xuan took a closer look and found that it was not the one he was familiar with.
"I haven't seen that lantern fish for a long time. It can't be dead... What the hell?"
He was thinking, and suddenly found that the light wall in front of him twisted, and then the lantern fish that had just swam to the left disappeared.
"Where is the lantern fish? Where is the magic trick?"
Diwu Xuan was full of doubts, but unfortunately no one was waiting to give him an answer.
After a while, another fish with a strange appearance swam over along the route of the lantern fish, and Diwu Xuan watched carefully.
The light wall twisted, and Diwu Xuan saw clearly that on the far left side of the light wall was a big mouth, which swallowed the fish that swam over in one gulp.
"Damn, this is not a light wall, this is a big-mouthed fish. You've grown so big, why are you still squatting in the bushes?"
The deep hatred of this behavior of squatting in the bushes for Diwu Xuan is deep in his soul. It is the mark left by being squatted in the bushes countless times.
"You said you have developed a set of divine equipment, but you still play the game of squatting in the bushes. Isn't it too shameless?"
Diwu Xuan asked harshly, but unfortunately the big-mouthed fish ignored him.
"You will be punished for ignoring me like this."
Diwu Xuan spoke again, but the big-mouthed fish still did not move.
Just when he was very helpless, the snot fish next to him was hit by the sea current and drifted to the tail of the big-mouthed fish.
"Kacha..."
Diwu Xuan dubbed for the snot fish in his mind, and then he saw the light wall in front of him twist as if it was frightened, carrying a piece of mud and sand and swimming away.
"I told you that you would be punished, but you didn't believe it before. Now you believe it, right?"
Diwu Xuan watched the big-mouthed fish go away. This time he finally saw the body shape of the big-mouthed fish.
Although it is not as big as a shark, it is not small either, and its entire head seems to be a mouth, which is really very big.
Of course, it also inherited the characteristics of deep-sea fish, and its appearance is not pleasing to the eye.
"If the world loses light, there will no longer be beauty and ugliness, and all beings will be equal. Judging people by their appearance will no longer happen."
The Fifth Xuan thought neurotically.
"No, if there is no light, everyone will look messy. If one day the light comes, people will look at their partners... Wahahaha... Wahahahahaha..."
He successfully amused himself, as if to prove that he was still alive.
A person at the bottom of the deep sea, he can only use the method of spiritual victory to prevent himself from really going crazy.
However, a madman will never know that he is a madman. He himself cannot judge whether he is crazy or not.
He has no concept of time, but time always leaves its mark on him.
Slowly, all the cracks on his body were filled up. The knocked-off edges and corners could not be restored, but the overall shape became much rounder.
Time moved forward alternately between sleep and self-amusement after waking up. He had no way of calculating time.
He only knew that some familiar fish had never been seen again, and some strange fish reappeared. It seemed
that the most abundant thing in this deep sea was fresh species. Everyone was fighting for beauty and striving to evolve into a strange appearance. Diwu Xuan also gained a lot of knowledge.
