Star Rank Hunter Chapter 363: The City Under the Sea
Cilin followed the sound and saw that Grey Cat was crouching in front of a plant, reaching into the rock beside the plant and digging out.
Guru-Guru-
A round ball rolled out with Grey Cat's retracted claws.
The size of an ordinary pigeon egg is bright light-blue.
"Cilin, I think this thing is very valuable." Grey Cat said with a claw and fiddled with the crystal-like ball.
Cilin picked up the small ball and looked at it, starting with a bit of coolness, not too irritating chill, with a touch of scent of plants, it just makes people feel refreshing.
"Oh, I didn't expect this to happen here." Takashi also came over, "People call it 'Guardian of the Heart'."
"Guardian of the Heart?" Grey Cat listened carefully with his ears up. Long explained that he felt that this crystal-like ball was really valuable.
"Well, this is something that can only be produced in special waters. The quality of Guardian of the Heart produced by Sea Heaven is the best and the effect is the best."
Long explained the origin and use of Guardian of the Heart to Cilin and Grey Cat. This crystal-like ball is actually synthesized by the roots of some plants on the coral reef. Its purpose is to expel sea mammals and some mammals that eat food. , Insects, etc. This kind of ball will move to the surface slowly after the root system is synthesized, but will not expose the surface. Such spar exists in many places around the plant near the surface. They form a circle to protect the plant inside and expel some small sea beasts. As for large sea beasts, even if they cannot be expelled, those sea beasts can lose their appetite for plants. Not to bite.
"The atmosphere above Guardian of the Heart smells very comfortable to people, but it is like something disgusting to those sea beasts. So when you find that there are no small plants around some coral reefs full of sea beasts Sea beast. That means that its root system has synthesized 'Guardian of the Heart'. Strangely, many researchers have tried to artificially synthesize the drugs in this spar, but the results are not ideal. Therefore, this natural crystal The price of stone in the market has always been high. The price of 'Guardian of the Heart' of Sea Heaven has always been the highest in this type of spar. Like this one, it is estimated that it can sell for six to seven figures. This thing can be more Dig some, but ... you don't need to dig if it is not completely formed and has not moved to the surface, leaving these plants to drive sea beasts.
Long ’s post was addressed to Grey Cat, looking at the increasingly bright eyes of Grey Cat, especially when he heard the words “very valuable”. The cat's eyes were exceptionally bright.
Speaking, Theo, who was collecting information, came over from the other side.
"There are many hallucinogenic substances in seawater, indigenous organisms can develop resistance, but outsiders can't." Theo gave Cilin some analysis data, and also mentioned the sea beasts that stayed on the coral reefs. Population distribution.
"The sea beasts here and some fish in the sea cannot be eaten directly," Long said, suddenly remembering that Grey Cat had a big meal when cleaning up this area before, and Long turned to look at the Spirit shaking beside other plants. The Grey Cat of spar, looks like Cilin: "Does it really matter what cat eats?"
"It's okay, these things are still consumed. Don't worry about it."
Cilin already is used to it. Grey Cat used to eat a lot of sea beasts when it was in Lansa Empire. Although the sea beasts here are special, they will not make Grey Cat troublesome.
"Small and big, the detector found something." Someone said over there.
After landing on the atoll, several of Long's subordinates quickly put the detector into the seawater to detect the situation in the surrounding waters. Especially in the direction pointed by star chart, Long let a few more detectors under his hands.
"What's going on?" Long asked.
Cilin and Theo also walked by. The small jungle only left Grey Cat, which was still digging for "treasures" around a few plants.
"Now the detector already has dropped to three kilometers below water surface. This is the result of the detector's return." The man passed the electronic board in his hand to Long.
There is a wavy line on the electronic board. Due to the particularity of the environment here and the strangeness of Sea Heaven and planet, the detector does not have very detailed data. It just displays some images and areas of the detection wave and energy anomaly, and draws them as three-dimensional map. Each depth corresponds to a point on three-dimensional map. At three kilometers, the detector detected an abnormality. From there, the color on three-dimensional map began to change, and as the detector continued to sink, three-dimensional map The color deepens.
Looking at the results on three-dimensional map, Long looked very excited. He knew that "God's Tears" must be there, and the energy reflection there was different from that in other sea areas, until now. Only this area had such abnormal results. No such anomalous display was found on the detectors in other azimuth waters.
"Why is there a staircase here? Is this normal?" Cilin asked, pointing to a place on three-dimensional map.
There is a steep **** below the surface of this annular coral reef, and it can be clearly seen from the three-dimensional map drawn by the detector that there is a step on this steep slope. One end of the ladder extends downward, a until sea floor.
"It's not a walk, is it a sea beast?" Takashi said.
No one knows whether it was caused by man or was naturally formed. But I have to say that such a step feels strange to a few people.
"Continue to pay attention to the detectors in this area. By the way, after the detectors are detected, we will act." Long ordered several others.
“Wow —”
The small jungle where Grey Cat is located suddenly screams.
Cilin turned their heads and looked over. Between the trees, there was a tail with dark stripes flicking. Plants over twenty to thirty meters high could not cover the tail at all. The branches and leaves of those plants were covered by the big one. The tail flew apart. And some small sea herds of not far away were frightened by the roar and fled away.
噗 ——
Blue blood sprayed, sizzling on the large leaves of the plant. The movement of the big tail twitching the leaves also calmed down gradually.
It didn't take long. There was a rustle from far to near, and the leaves on the other side of the jungle shook. It didn't take long before a large sea beast head appeared.
What surprised the Long people. Grey Cat biting a long tentacle around the sea beast's mouth and dragged the sea beast directly. At first glance, the comparison of the body shape is really exciting. In contrast, the body shape difference when clearing the field was much smaller.
The sea beast dragged by Grey Cat looks a bit like an eel, with a trunk diameter of nearly five meters. There are many pairs of feet on its torso. Compared to those small sea beasts that were cleared by Grey Cat before. This sea beast should be in the higher food chain.
With the dragging of Grey Cat, this sea beast also revealed its entirety gradually, and a long wound on its abdomen, with blue blood flowing out. Due to the drag of Grey Cat, a blue trace was formed in the back.
Grey Cat dragged the sea beast in front of Cilin, and asked several people in Cilin, "Do you want to eat?"
A few more people Pascal shook their heads together. Looking at this open mouth with his mouth open to reveal the fangs and dead eyes, Pascal had no appetite. Just the blue trail and some internal organs organs on the trace made Pascal a bit sick.
"No, that sea animal is not strictly a amphibians sea animal. Although it can crawl on the coral reef for a period of time, it is not long. It only rushes to the coral reef when it is preying, but it is obviously not the time for it to prey. And the small sea beasts in this area have been driven away by Hulu, so what is this big guy doing here? "Long said with a chin.
Grey Cat licked the blue blood on his paws and quickly clarified himself, "It came out from the sea, I did n’t even bother with it. I was digging for treasure and I was vigorous. Who knows this guy is going straight Come here, there are still many gems I dug out, I ca n’t let it be swallowed! This is really not what I want to cause trouble. This guy hit me. "
English Wiki looked at the sea and said, "There are schools of sawtooth fish."
Sawtooth fish is included in the information collected by Andrea Family, and it is also more detailed. This is a typical population. Sawtooth fish live in the upper and middle tiers of the sea, and a group acts as a unit. Moreover, each fish is very large. Tens of thousands of sawtooth suffices enough to keep some large and middle tier sea beasts away.
The adult serrated fish can reach five meters, and the opening angle of their mouths and jaws can reach 270 degrees. The strong bite force can directly bite the bones of those small sea monsters whole body. Therefore, when Andrea Family people come here, they will avoid this population far away. This is not a chance to escape from the first drop of blood.
"Those jagged fish are hunting. The big guy just wanted to dodge the coral reef just now." Wikipedia continued, "probably there are five minutes, the pioneers of the jagged fish school will pass this atoll area. "
Long sighed, "in other words, even if we have to act, we have to wait until all these troublesome guys have left."
English Wiki nodded solemnly: "In theory, this is the case."
Cilin has to admit that in a marine environment, his sensitivity to perception is indeed inferior to that of English Wikipedia, and the reason why English Wikipedia can say these words with certainty is also through sea beasts and Known from sea fish.
You can get used to the new environment and start domesticating sea beasts in such a quick way. British Wiki is indeed one of the top ten bodyguards around the old fox Andrea.Felcros.
"Go to Aircraft, there will be a lot of sea creatures boarding the coral reefs later, we will avoid this wave first." Long greeted Cilin to go to Aircraft for refuge.
Grey Cat handed over the dug-out "Guardian of the Heart" to Cilin for safekeeping. It prepared to stay outside to watch the excitement. Anyway, if the coral reef was too crowded, it would fly to the sky.
After Cilin entered Aircraft, some sea beasts came to the coral reef one after another, but the "lords" in those areas did not come out to drive them out, only a warning did not move, unless the invaders were too loud, those The "lord" will come out and fight, in addition, they are all hiding inside the cave, paying attention to everything outside.
唰 唰 唰 ——
Some fishes with wings spread out from the sea. They fly from outside the atoll to the lagoon inside the atoll. In addition to this flying fish, there are several small sea beasts crawling in from outside the atoll. The lagoons inside the atolls, which had been quite deserted, suddenly burst into turbulence.
The closed lagoon protects these little guys. Because those jagged fish are not able to reach the coral reef, nor will they jump and fly. There is an atoll barrier in the middle, and those flying fishes have escaped the hunt of the sawtooth school.
However. Although these flying fish escaped the sawtooth fish, they had to face other predators, such as the Grey Cat with wings spread in the air.
Grey Cat just opened its wings and hung there, waiting for the flying fish to come to the door, it just opened its mouth and waited. If you don't want to eat it. The fat cat's claws were deliberately stretched out to hit the flying fish each and every one back to their original place, or the flying ones were taken directly to the place where other sea animals on the coral reef were located.
Why ca n’t I take it home?
Therefore, the sea beasts who had taken refuge on the coral reefs opened their mouths directly to the flying fish being photographed in front of them.
Pascaldo and others hiding in Aircraft saw this scene. at the same time had an idea: This cat is really cheap! It is estimated that those flying fish will be depressed how to encounter this evil star.
There are more and more sea beasts on coral reefs. And serrated fish also revealed their shadow.
On the sea, the elongated triangular dorsal fin of each and every one exposes water surface. Some poor guys who haven't had time to jump on the coral reef or can't even reach the coral reef are directly torn by the jagged fish and swallowed. In addition to the serrated fishes that are preying on the sea, there are many incomplete bodies that have been bitten by half or most of them. They were thrown out of water surface because of the bite swing of the serrated fish.
The seawater, which was originally blue, has become bluer.
Cilin remembered that sentence again: the blue of the sea water was stained by the blood of sea beasts.
After five minutes, as far as the eye can see, the sea is full of floating triangular dorsal fins, and this is just the pioneer of this school of fish. In the back there were other members of the school of fish coming around, and these cruel guys were everywhere in the water below water surface.
Oh!
The Grey Cat of the flying fish jumped into the sea.
"What is that fat cat doing?" Pascaldo asked.
"It is estimated to be boring in the sky, go to watch the lively underwater." After a pause, Cilin said: "Turn on a display."
After Long opened one of the closed displays in Aircraft, Cilin instructed Theo to connect the display to the Grey Cat.
Unusually, the underwater scene appears on the display. This is also the scene seen by Grey Cat. It will return the scene it sees to Aircraft.
The waters below the surface of the atoll are a horrible killing predator. Sawtooth schools push other marine fish and sea beasts towards the atoll. After all, there are a few species that can climb up the coral reef or fly directly like a flying fish. Most of the hunters swim here and are given the "wall" of the atoll Blocked here, they also have no way back, because the sawtooth fish already forced over.
There are minced meat and scales everywhere, the iconic big mouth and teeth of sawtooth fish everywhere, obviously deeper than before, the seawater is cold.
People in Aircraft are watching the tragic situation on the display. The results sent back by the detector divert everyone's attention.
"The detector already has arrived on the seabed!" said one excitedly.
From the results sent back by the detector, everyone can see a strange scene in that three-dimensional map.
It's like a city on the bottom of the sea. Although it's just a rough outline figure, seeing these makes Rong quite excited.
Yes, God's Tears must be there!
"Is the video not turned on? Why is there no video result over there?" Long asked.
"Large and small, all three detectors reaching the sea floor have lost contact."
"Large and small, the fourth one who got there is also out of touch."
"Big and small ... the fifth one is also out of touch."
After reaching the sea floor, the five detectors sent to that coordinate failed to capture even the video images, and they lost contact with Aircraft.
Cilin remembers some of the things that Aveyon mentioned before when talking about "God's Tears".
When the people of Xi Family were studying "God's Tears", in order to better understand those sea beasts, they once lived on the sea floor for a while.
Aveyon uses "lived", not "stayed" or other words. In connection with this vague outline on three-dimensional map, Cilin thought: Did Xi Family build a subsea city on the sea floor?
Although this is incredible, after all, this is "Sea Heaven" and not other ordinary sea areas. It is difficult for Aircraft to fly here, let alone build city on the sea floor. But Xi Family is really not a family inferred from common sense.
Perhaps, it's really possible.
"How many more for a long times can the snailfish have left?" Long Kan turned to English Wiki.
"In theory, it takes at least an hour."
"But?"
"But if you are in a hurry, we can try to tame the jagged fish and let them leave early."
Long thought for a while, and waved his hand. "That's all right, there are too many fish and it's too consuming. At that time, we need a lot of energy to go underwater. It's better to save energy now. It's all here , Why not wait another hour. "
Cilin looked at Theo with a thoughtful expression on his face and asked, "What did you find?"
"The five detectors lost contact due to magnetic field interference." Theo replied.
"magnetic field? Isn't that an instrument that can resist this planet magnetic field? Our Andrea Family took a lot of manpower resources to make." Frown.
Theo shook his head. "They do resist the magnetic field strength of planet, but at a target point, magnetic field has been strengthened two to three times, making those five instruments unable to work properly."
"Is it their work?" Cilin asked.
"They" refers to those people who were Xi Family.
"Yes." (To be continued ...)
