Luo Xinglan and Ouyang Aotian continued to descend, and after nearly half an hour, they felt that there were almost no fish around.
Luo Xinglan stopped and sent a message to Ouyang Aotian: "Have you noticed? There are almost no fish left here."
Ouyang Aotian: "Hmm, we could see a lot of strange deep-sea fish just now, but now we can't see a single one. It's a bit strange."
They encountered schools of fish every now and then when they came.
But now, not a single one can be seen.
Through the breathing mask, Luo Xinglan noticed that the seawater seemed to have a greenish tinge, and the air was pale green due to the increased concentration of miasma.
She gestured for Ouyang Aotian to look at the sea outside and sent a message saying, "The concentration of miasma here is too high. Does that mean we're about to reach the seabed?"
Ouyang Aotian looked down at his feet. Apart from the small area illuminated by the diving flashlight, the rest of the ground was pitch black.
That boundless darkness seemed capable of swallowing everything.
Looking at him, I felt a little uneasy.
After regaining his composure, Ouyang Aotian replied, "We need to be even more careful from now on."
Luo Xinglan nodded, the two exchanged a glance, and continued swimming into the darkness below.
After swimming for another five minutes, a faint fluorescent light could be seen coming from below in the distance.
The fluorescent spot was a large hole nearly 100 meters in diameter. Outside the hole, a huge swarm of alien creatures rushed through the opening and then swam rapidly toward the surface of the sea.
Luo Xinglan and Ouyang Aotian immediately turned off their diving flashlights and quickly swam to the side.
That way, you won't end up with a picture of an invading alien creature.
Ouyang Aotian felt a chill in his heart and sent a message to Luo Xinglan: "Should we still call them over?"
The hole in the protective membrane is far too large; there must be thousands of alien creatures just passing through it.
Outside the protective membrane, who knows how many alien creatures are waiting to pass through the opening.
They only had 19 people, and their best weapon was a harpoon. They were no match for these alien creatures.
Luo Xinglan: "No need. Tell them to return to my armored ship immediately, and we'll discuss it further."
It's truly remarkable that the deep-sea turtles could survive for two days against such a massive number of invasive species.
Ouyang Aotian quickly sent messages to the others, then nodded to Luo Xinglan.
To conserve oxygen, Luo Xinglan grabbed Ouyang Aotian's arm and used a teleportation talisman to return to the armored ship.
And everyone else came back too.
Jiang Mingze: "Sister Lan, you found the tear in the seabed protective membrane? Weren't you supposed to be there to eliminate the alien creatures? Why did you suddenly send us back?"
Luo Xinglan sighed: "The crack is a hole nearly a hundred meters wide. There are too many alien creatures. We can't kill them all by ourselves."
Liu Di looked shocked: "A hole nearly a hundred meters long?"
Jiang Zifeng: "If that's the case, it's indeed impossible for just the people of us to do it."
Luo Xinglan: "Right now, we need to gather diving equipment first, and then expand the team."
Ning Ling frowned, but still said, "There are two main threats now: one is the enormous number of alien creatures, and the other is the increasingly dense miasma."
Many people have fallen into a coma after inhaling excessive amounts of miasma, and some have even died.
If the miasma is allowed to spread like this, the survivors will die in the miasma even without any intervention from other creatures.
Luo Xinglan shook her head: "Now we can only wait for Mr. Lu's research results. Hopefully, the Cursed Crow really has some connection with miasma."
Everyone fell silent, feeling powerless for the first time.
Can they really defeat the alien creatures?
Ouyang Aotian encouraged everyone: "No matter what, we are not completely without hope. For now, the only thing we can do is help others kill the alien creatures and obtain more diving equipment."
Jiang Mingze: "Yes, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we should not give up."
He had barely finished speaking when Mr. Lu arrived.
Luo Xinglan guessed that there must have been progress in the research on the Cursed Raven, and nervously swallowed before asking, "Mr. Lu, what is the connection between the Cursed Raven and the miasma?"
Mr. Lu suddenly grinned: "Yes! The feathers of the cursed crow can cause miasma to spread to areas with lower concentrations!"
Jiang Mingze was overjoyed: "Great! This way we have a way to deal with the miasma!"
Luo Xinglan: "Can it only make the miasma spread to areas with lower concentrations? Can it not completely eliminate the miasma?"
Mr. Lu shook his head: "No. I've studied it. There's a very special substance in the miasma. It's not from this world, and I still don't know its composition. To eliminate the miasma, we must first figure out the composition of this unknown substance before we can treat the problem effectively."
Luo Xinglan nodded: "At present, knowing the function of the Cursed Raven Feather means that we are not completely passive."
Ouyang Aotian: "That's right. With this discovery, we can at least stop being poisoned by miasma. As for killing the alien creatures, it's only a matter of time."
With the good news brought by Luo Xinglan, everyone regained their confidence.
Luo Xinglan posted the connection between the Cursed Raven feathers and the miasma on the world channel, which boosted morale to some extent.
"So the Cursed Raven's feathers have such a great use? I'm going to kill the Cursed Raven right now!"
"Great! With the miasma problem solved, how far behind can the other problems be? Victory is in sight!"
"Don't rush to kill the cursed crows! Pluck their feathers before you kill them! I just killed one, and before I could even pluck its feathers, the corpse vanished!"
"Okay, okay, thanks for the reminder! I almost killed that cursed crow too! Little crow, I'm here to pluck its feathers, hehehe..."
"Upstairs, can I say your laughter is more terrifying than an invasive alien species?"
"I just plucked a cursed raven bald and got [Cursed Raven Feathers x200], anyone want some?"
"Could I have one? The miasma concentration here is too high..."
"Wow, I want one too! I want one too!"
Soon, the world chat was flooded with Cursed Raven Feathers.
The cursed crows, rushing towards the sea, had no idea what a terrifying group of people awaited them.
Sun Zexia also brought good news from Jiang Ruobai, and incidentally traded all the diving equipment and harpoons he had received to Luo Xinglan.
Then he asked about the situation at the bottom of the sea. Luo Xinglan gave him a brief explanation, and he didn't say anything. He immediately went to the world channel to call for help.
Luo Xinglan sorted through the diving equipment and found that she had actually collected a hundred sets.
Although she was still some distance from her goal, it was still something to be happy about to gather a hundred sets of diving equipment in such a short time.
However, the supply of oxygen cylinders is not so optimistic.
