The place where the mutant creature is located is a deep sea, the deepest of which can reach 20,000 meters.
There is almost no marine life there.
It’s not because the pressure at the bottom of the sea is too great, because there are always deep-sea creatures that can adapt. Some deep-sea creatures have developed wisdom and are no longer willing to live in the pitch-dark seabed. But this is just one of the reasons.
According to the old man, that sea area is the most dangerous place in all the oceans on Earth.
There has never been a day when the sea is calm.
On ordinary days, the sea is either stormy or thundering, and some black cracks can be vaguely seen in the sky.
They have always suspected that these black cracks are the legendary space cracks, which contain the most violent things in the world. Anything that enters them will be instantly shredded by the strong wind that surges out of the cracks.
Even if you don't enter, once you are hit by the raging strong wind near the space crack, even the strongest defense will be broken.
Before Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou got close, they heard the howling sound of a tornado.
Looking out from the sea, you can see from afar several tornadoes raging on the endless sea.
The tornado rolled up the sea water below, forming a column of water that shot up into the sky. The water column then fell down like a rainstorm, which could last for several months.
The government has hired people to conduct surveys, and the situation in this sea area cannot be explained from any scientific perspective. Many of the phenomena occurred when the conditions were not met.
In addition to the tornado, there are also whirlpools that extend from the sea surface to the deep seabed, forming strong, dangerous and moving water columns that roll and destroy wildly.
Some mutant creatures on the seabed were accidentally pulled in, and soon, they were "dismembered" into pieces.
This is because, when these water columns roll, sometimes two of them will roll together, and the different rotation directions will form a strong pulling force.
If you don't have any strength and get dragged into it, you will definitely be in danger of death.
In addition, there are active volcanoes under the sea, and the volcanoes are still erupting.
Fiery red magma gushed out from the crater, thick smoke billowed nearby and emerged from the water, and the sea surface was scalding, like a pot of boiling water.
All kinds of unusual phenomena gathered in this sea area.
Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou moved carefully among them. They did not see any living mutant marine creatures nearby, but there were many dead ones.
There are countless corpses buried on the seabed, some of them are scattered bones, and some have been swallowed by magma. The only remaining complete corpses are piled up like a mountain, and it is unknown how many years they have accumulated.
Every year there are always some mutated marine creatures that accidentally break in here, and almost no one can leave here safely, so this sea area is also called the Sea of Death.
…
At the same time, Ban Wei, Sima Yang and his group finally arrived near the Sea of Death.
The Death Sea is only a hundred miles away from the land. There is an island nearby, which is also the only small island near the Death Sea.
The island is bare, with nothing but mountains and rocks.
The mutated creatures on the seabed are reluctant to come ashore, resulting in almost no mutated creatures to be seen on the island.
Ban Wei and his group landed on this island.
"Go further ahead and you will find the Sea of Death, which is also where the mutant creature resides. From now on, you can't fly ostentatiously in the air. Since you are here to gather information, it's best to escape through the sea." Sima Yang was the only person present who had been here, so Ban Wei couldn't get a word in.
Sima Ye asked curiously: "Grandpa, hasn't the government developed a language for marine mutants over the years?"
"Before the mutation, they did. After the mutation, they rely on sound waves. Sound waves are just a frequency and are very difficult to decipher. Especially between higher-level mutants, the sound waves they use to transmit information also change, just like the languages of different countries. These are all inherited."
"What a pity! If we could figure it out, we could just capture a higher-level mutant creature and interrogate it." Sima Ye said regretfully.
Ban Wei said calmly: "There is nothing to regret. Even if we figure it out, these higher creatures may not be willing to tell us. Their bones are harder than humans'."
In the final analysis, evolution is not yet complete, and no matter how high your IQ is, it is only an individual.
"Aye, you stay on this island as a support. If anything happens, we will send you a signal. Once you receive the signal, ignore us and run away."
Sima Yang brought his grandson out to see the world.
His grandson is as famous as Zhongli Tingzhou. The other can act alone and is accompanied by Gao Han. He cannot let his grandson fall behind others, but he is also reluctant to let him take risks. The Sima family is not like those studs of the Yuan family. They value quality over quantity.
Sima Ye shook his head firmly, "Grandpa, I don't think I'm weak. I won't hold you back. If I really can't win, I'll just run away."
"We let you stay not because it's safe here. On the contrary, this island may not be that safe. Once the invasion is discovered, the first thing they will suspect is whether there is anyone on this island. And you can help us keep watch on the island." Ban Wei said.
Sima Yang also meant this, "Listen to Uncle Ban, he is right, you should stay."
"Okay then." Sima Ye agreed.
"By the way, if you see Zhongli Tingzhou and the other person coming, tell them not to act rashly and wait for news from us." Ban Wei suddenly said.
Sima Ye was stunned for a moment before nodding, "If I see them, I will tell them."
Ban Wei hummed and said nothing more. He never thought that Zhongli Tingzhou and Gao Han had arrived before them.
After the four of them discussed the complete plan, Sima Yang, Ban Wei and President Yu left the island and dived into the sea, and the scent disappeared in an instant.
Sima Ye looked in the direction they left, praying in his heart that they were safe.
"I wonder what's happening with Zhongli Tingzhou and Gao Han. Are they still behind, or have they arrived safely?" Sima Ye thought of the two again.
They rushed here and met some people, but did not get any news that Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou had passed by here. They were not sure whether they were still behind or had already entered this sea area.
Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou, who were being missed by Sima Ye, were watching Fugui interrogating a marine creature.
The strength of this marine creature is not very high, only of average strength.
As soon as they met, he was subdued before he could even move.
When it was Fugui's turn to speak, he put his hands on his hips, stared at the marine creature with a haughty look, and chattered like firecrackers.
Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou still didn't understand a single word, so it makes sense that humans have not been able to develop a linguistics for mutant creatures over the years.
Gao Han couldn't help but ask Zhongli Tingzhou, "Is this marine creature stupid? Fugui has been talking for so long, but it didn't react at all."
"Could it be that the level is not high enough?" Zhongli Tingzhou thought there could be other reasons.
"Both are possible. It doesn't say anything and we can't get any information from it." Gao Han was a little worried.
They had used this method many times and it had succeeded every time. This was the first time they failed, and this was against a medium-sized creature.
"Maybe, it's because we were there?" Zhongli Tingzhou suddenly had an idea.
Gao Han's eyes lit up, "It's possible, but Fugui's strength cannot be caught."
Zhongli Tingzhou said, "We can let it pretend to be a companion of these marine creatures."
Gao Han looked at Fugui's size, which was so small that it was not even as big as the other person's palm. He was a little worried that he would be swallowed by the other person before he even opened his mouth.
"Let's try it."
At worst, after the other party swallowed up the wealth, I would cut up the body and then rescue my son.
Fugui sneezed, and someone with bad intentions said bad things about him behind his back.
Zhongli Tingzhou slaughtered the marine creature swiftly and efficiently. Gao Han discussed their plan with Fugui. Fugui repeatedly asked whether they would be nearby to protect it. After getting a positive answer and obtaining a high-level crystal core, he excitedly nodded and agreed.
高寒摸了摸它的小脑袋,这么傻的儿子,他们要是不在,被卖了都不知道,还在开心的为对方数钱。
随后,他们在死亡海边缘,盯上一头十级的海洋生物。
一头变异海龟,个头很大,动作却相对迟钝一些,性情也比虎鲨那些暴虐的海洋生物好多了。
如果真要吞了富贵,他们应该能赶在海龟吞下它之前,把儿子救下来。
“去吧。”高寒轻拍儿子的屁股。
富贵立刻游过去,靠近的时候,就发出声音,吸引对方的注意。
这头变异海龟听到杂音,很快注意到富贵的存在,许是第一次看到个头这么小的变异生物,又多看了一眼,然后就没有然后了。
跟变异海龟偌大的身躯比,它实在是太微不足道了,身体小得变异海龟连吃了它的心情都没有,牙缝怕都比它大。
富贵不知道自己被鄙视了,努力发出声音吸引它的注意力。
看到这一幕,高寒沉默了片刻,“咱们儿子,好像被无视了。”
“是的呢。”钟离庭洲附和地点头。
富贵终于发现了,顿时被气疯了,吧唧一声,跳到变异海龟头上,被衬托得更小了。
它在变异海龟头顶使劲的蹦跶,奈何变异海龟皮糙肉厚,根本没有感觉,倒是把自己累得够呛了,变异海龟还在慢慢的游荡着。
“总觉得在旁边观望的我们也像个傻子。”钟离庭洲说出高寒的心声。
高寒迷之沉默,他也不知道该说什么好了。
“算了,让它回来吧。”
片刻后,高寒才揉了下眼角。
就在这时,富贵气愤、恼怒,最后忍无可忍,不知做了什么,那头变异海龟的身体突然剧烈的颤动一下。
海水瞬间翻腾起来,激烈的水花夹在水流里冲刷过来。
两人定住身体,才没有被水流冲走。
再看向那头变异海龟,它居然开始急速的游走了。
“追!”高寒大惊,立即大喊一声。
两人顺着变异海龟游走的方向追去,海水逆流,阻碍了他们的速度,好在并未跟丢。
追了一段距离,正当他们担心变异海龟会带着富贵远离死亡海的时候,前头的变异海龟,速度突然慢了下来。
两人面面相觑,不明白这头变异海龟在打什么主意。
“刚刚你有感受到富贵做了什么吗?”他们怕被变异海龟发现,所以距离有一点远。
时间太短,变故也发生得太快了,高寒并没有太明显的感觉。
钟离庭洲实力比他强一截,感觉更敏锐,“它吸收黑晶碎片的能量,刚刚爆发出来一些。”
“那就说不通了,它为什么要带富贵远离死亡海,而且海洋一些高等变异生物也吸收过黑晶碎片的能量,它的反应未必过激了。”
“你儿子吃了三块黑晶碎片,可能黑晶碎片到现在也没有完全吸收,导致这头变异海龟误以为它身上带有黑晶碎片?”
“那就更不应该远离死亡海。”高寒与他对视一眼。
两人心里隐隐有了一个猜测。
……
与此同时,远在百里外的死亡海里,一个有着人形外表,通体却遍布鳞片,姑且称之为人的生物,一双如海水般深邃幽蓝的眼眸,突然望向某个方向。
“王?”手下注意到王的动作,投来疑惑的眼神。
王沉默不语,幽深无比的瞳孔看向悬浮于水中,散发着黑色与明亮光泽的晶体,因缺了一角,使它并不完整。
“吾感受到黑晶碎片的能量,在西海方向,你带人去看看。”
手下脑海里响起一个幽远低沉的声音。
手下立即正色道:“属下记得南海那边的黑晶碎片已经收回来了,那里好像是虎鲨的地盘,莫不是他把黑晶碎片藏起来了?”
“去看看便知。”
王说完就淡淡的收回视线,身上的力量继续以平缓的速度输入黑色晶体里。
