Under the Deep Sea (3)
Shi Jianxia could probably guess what good thing Panpan had done, and felt that he was very mischievous. He couldn't help but look at Mu Shaoqi and Baili Xuanyao with their panda eyes a few more times.
The two of them looked listless, and when they noticed her gaze on them, they both revealed aggrieved expressions, which were surprisingly similar to the look on the face of that fat cub, Xixi, when he had an argument with the nine-tailed fox and came to her to seek justice.
Shi Jianxia found it a little funny and the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably. Baili Xuanyao and Mu Shaoqi felt even more aggrieved.
Gongye Jiwang came over with his long legs, blocking their view, and the two aggrieved faces instantly turned into gnashing teeth.
Que Zhaoying and Bai Qiqi didn't give the two of them any face at all and burst out laughing.
Jiang Yingdu cleared his throat and rubbed his sore shoulders, secretly criticizing Gongye Jiwang for his ruthless men.
Yue Wuyin, who had rushed to the training grounds at the Nixie dormitory last night and sat through half the game, watched them rubbing shoulders and shaking legs, and gloated, "You guys are so full and have nothing better to do than to provoke that Gongye guy."
Gongye Jiwang was meticulous in training. Yue Wuyin had been his teammate for two years and knew how terrifying this guy could be on the training ground, so he never took the initiative to provoke him.
He was more lenient towards girls and would not punch them in the face, but he would never show mercy to people like Mu Shaoqi and Baili Xuanyao who were eager to create chaos in the world.
Jiang Yingdu sighed, "Well, after all, gossip is the most interesting thing in the world."
Even he couldn't help but join in the fun and got beaten up.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yingdu felt sour in his heart again.
When they were on Shuiyuan Star, Gongye Jiwang's mimicry combat level was only one level higher than his. His chessboard of heaven and earth was more auxiliary, so he did not care that his combat ability was slightly inferior to Gongye Jiwang.
Not long after that, Gongye Jiwang's combat effectiveness soared like a battleship, and he had already reached the first level of transcendence, far surpassing the talented students from the five major military academies of the Federation who had once kept pace with him.
What made Jiang Yingdu even more depressed was that Xiaojiu had been hiding his strength. Recently, he challenged Xiaojiu to a duel, but after being defeated miserably twice, Xiaojiu started to avoid him. It was obvious that he felt that fighting with him was boring, but he didn't want to attack him directly.
-
The destination of this clearing mission is the deep sea. The number of military students sent by major military academies is limited, and they are all the best students ranked at the top of the school, such as Jiang Yingdu, Que Zhaoying, and Bai Qiqi. These people with strong combat effectiveness are led by Gongye Jiwang, and Shi Jianxia is also among them.
Gongye Jiwang was very generous and gave each of his friends a water-repellent bead.
Mu Shaoqi held the water-repellent beads and shone them against the morning sun, curiously asking, "You actually have such a good thing? Where did you get it?"
Gongye Jiwang's identity as a mermaid has not been made public, and his friends don't know that the beautiful boy with broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs standing next to them is actually a big beautiful fish.
"Just use it if I give it to you. Why so much nonsense?" Bai Qiqi slapped him on the forehead, then hooked his shoulder and led him into the sea.
Mu Shaoqi was caught off guard and plunged into the sea. He instinctively felt that he would choke on the water, and struggled in a dog-like manner. The water-repellent beads in his hand had already emitted a bright light, allowing him to breathe in the sea. He was amazed.
Seeing this, the others also jumped into the sea.
Baili Xuanyao swam a few meters and then surfaced. He squinted his eyes to look at the water-repellent beads, then looked at Gongye Jiwang in the distance who did not use the water-repellent beads. He touched his chin and showed an expression of understanding.
A group of more than ten people followed the main force into the deep sea.
Due to the rampant Zerg, normal marine life has long disappeared from the waters of Nan Teng Star. After the clearing operation began, the Zerg Investigation Office and the military hunted Zerg and parasites on a large scale. The number of Zerg vortices and queens has become increasingly smaller, and the density of Zerg active in the sea area has also become increasingly lower.
Those with the ability to monitor mimicry patrolled back and forth in various sea areas, and immediately located and hunted down the Zerg when they found them. The seawater was also filtered and screened back and forth, so the Zerg in the shallow sea areas were basically extinct.
Now the only things that need to be cleared out are the high-level Zerg in the deep sea area.
Most Zergs are larger in size as they become higher in level. After devouring other Zergs and parasites, their genes will merge with each other and mutate into Zerg chimeras, just like the giant parasite as big as a hill that Shi Jianxia had seen on Xiaohan Star.
This type of parasite usually has several insect crystals in its body. It is not possible to kill them by just digging out one insect crystal, which makes it very difficult to deal with.
The cadets had already known all this in advance, so they would not be complacent. If they encountered a parasite they could deal with, they would leave no stone unturned. If they encountered one they could not deal with, they would naturally ask for help, with the main purpose of ensuring their own safety.
With a cheat like "Classic of Mountains and Seas", Shi Jianxia certainly wants to make use of its strengths. After entering the sea, he summons the sacred mountain and his cubs, and lets them explore farther and deeper sea areas to ensure the safety of this trip.
The nine-tailed fox swallowed the black vortex left by the doctor and fell into a deep sleep.
I don’t know if it’s because the main energy of the black vortex was absorbed by the star core and the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and the remaining energy is not enough to support the little white fox to reach level 3S, so after it woke up, it still couldn’t meow like Xixi, and it was listless for a long time.
But this little cub's mood came and went quickly. Not long after, he started playing with the other cubs again. Shi Jianxia didn't have to worry about his mental health.
Now that it was in the sea, the nine-tailed fox paddled in the water like a dog, and its soft fur fluttered left and right in the water, which was very cute.
朏朏 deliberately bumped into it from the side, knocking it several meters away. The little fox glared at it and rushed back fiercely, but the big fat cub's current tonnage was not enough for it to knock back. Not only did it fail to get back its ground, but it also bounced back with a snap.
The big fat cub immediately showed a proud expression and swam in the other direction like a dog paddling. Of course, the nine-tailed fox would not let it go and chased after it.
The other cubs saw this and piled up together before rolling into a ball and drifting away along the deep sea current.
Shi Jianxia just let them make a fuss, they wouldn't get lost after all.
As they dived deeper, they encountered several large Zerg parasites, which were not too high in level, ranging from level six to level eight. They were easily dealt with by their combined efforts, and their bodies were also disposed of.
It is very dark under the deep sea, especially the sea area of Nan Teng Star, which has been plagued by Zerg. The luminous seaweed is almost nowhere to be seen, and the marine life has long been extinct, and it is dead everywhere.
Even if the Zerg Investigation Office completes the cleanup of the sea area, it will take a considerable amount of time for the entire ocean to return to its original state.
Suddenly, Jiang Yingdu pointed to a place in front and said, "Look, what is that?"
This is already the seabed. The Zerg only devour and do not excrete, so they have not caused any pollution to the ocean. Many rocks on the seabed are exposed, and the light shines through and casts a shadow, like the open mouth of a deep-sea monster, which is creepy.
The place Jiang Yingdu pointed to was a trench. The terrain on both sides of the trench was very strange. It was flat on both sides, but there was a bulge in the middle. The bulge was covered with dense luminous seaweed, forming a unique "oasis" on the dim seabed.
Everyone hadn't seen a single glowing seaweed along the way, but here there were so many, and they were growing very lushly, swaying left and right in the ocean currents, giving a feeling of comfort and leisure.
It's so weird.
This thought arose in almost everyone's mind.
Meng Ji moved closer, his little nose twitching as if he was sniffing something. Just then, an undercurrent came over and carried him towards the glowing seaweed in front.
After a few gurgling sounds, Meng Ji fell into the glowing seaweed. Before he could keep his balance, the space he was in twisted, just like a hunter who had been hiding for a long time and finally waited for his prey to fall into the trap. Gulu swallowed it in one gulp.
Shi Jianxia was startled, and the others also looked horrified.
"What is it? Can you sense Meng Ji? How is it now?" Bai Qiqi frowned and immediately turned to ask Shi Jianxia.
Shi Jianxia shook his head, his expression very solemn, "I can't sense it, and there's no way to summon it back using the Classic of Mountains and Seas."
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in surprise.
Baili Xuanyao asked curiously, "How could this happen?"
Most mimics can only move within a certain range from their masters. Once they exceed this range, they will automatically return to their masters' spiritual power source. The masters can also sense the mimic's location at any time and decide whether to recall it.
"Something's not right. Should we notify the command center first?" Jiang Yingdu said cautiously.
They were not the main force of this clearing operation. They entered the deep sea for training. Before setting off, their respective commanders warned them not to act like heroes and to report to the command center in a timely manner if they found anything wrong.
Shi Jianxia didn't reply, but just stared at the page of "Classic of Mountains and Seas" belonging to Meng Ji, not knowing what he was thinking.
If Meng Ji encountered an accident, she, as the master, could sense whether Meng Ji had returned to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", but there was no movement in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", as if Meng Ji had gone to a place completely isolated from here.
Gongye Ji saw her with her head down in deep thought, and without interrupting her train of thought, he agreed to Jiang Yingdu's proposal and contacted the command center and the nearby mopping-up team.
Bai Qiqi thought for a moment, summoned the puppet soldiers from the command platform, and swam towards the glowing seaweed.
Seeing this, the others stared at the puppet soldier and watched it approach the glowing seaweed, but it did not land at the place where Meng Ji had just disappeared, but in the nearby area.
The puppet soldier did not disappear like Meng Ji. It stepped on the glowing seaweed and walked slowly on the strange huge bulge. Everyone's attention was focused on it, watching it slowly search the area covered by the glowing seaweed.
Before it could make any further discoveries, a huge suction force suddenly appeared in the dark trench without any warning. The cadets were caught off guard and were sucked away, staggering and falling into the dark and bottomless crack one after another.
Shi Jianxia was not spared either. She instinctively opened the energy shield to try to stabilize her body.
But the suction at the bottom of the trench was too strong, and the sea water flowed backwards. Even Gongye Jiwang, who was a mermaid and very adaptable to the marine environment, could not escape the disaster.
The deep sea tide surged forward, and the cadets tried every possible means, but they could only be swallowed into the terrifying whirlpool amidst the dense and harsh gurgling sounds!
Lei Xin and others, who had been watching Shi Jianxia from afar and not interfering with her training, looked horrified.
Even though they rushed over at the fastest speed, they still failed to catch Shi Jianxia and others. They even fell into the suction of the whirlpool and could not escape. Finally, they were pushed into the trench by a surging deep-sea tide.
After a few minutes, the suction disappeared and the deep sea returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
