Chapter 57 Deep Sea Under the Moon
Turbidity, nothingness, quietness.
Lin commented on Moon Sea like this.
Leviathan is now in the dark waters, slowly groping his surroundings, moving here more dangerously than in the storm above.
... But this is just a feeling. In fact, it is very calm under the deep sea of the moon. It is far away from the storm on the sea. Everything has become quiet, and only the rumbling sound can be heard from time to time.
"Boom..." Now, the voice rang again.
It seems to be issued from the seabed, but there is no abnormal phenomenon around, Leviathan is now swimming slowly over a trench.
The sea here is very turbid, with tiny particles floating everywhere in the sea, just like dust in the air.
It is not known where these particles came from, but it also resulted in a toxin mixed in the seawater, which even the creatures on the moon could not resist...
So, there are no living things here, and there are very few decomposable substances in Shanghai, so there are not even fungi.
The water in the Isle of Ashes is filtered through the inner structure of the island, so organisms gather.
In this sea area, there is only the tranquility of nothingness... However, there is still something special in this seabed.
Leviathan swam to the edge of the trench, stretched out his tentacles and hit the seabed gently.
The action of the tentacle stirred up a large piece of mud and dust. The tentacle moved quickly, digging up all the mud and dust around it. The mud and dust on the bottom of the sea have accumulated a lot, but it seems to be because of the current. The dust has not yet reached a very thick level. When the tentacles dug to a depth of almost two meters. The light from the Leviathan goes down to the rocks below.
On this rock, there are many protruding outlines.
These outlines are basically only a few centimeters long. After sweeping away the mud and dust, you can see their clear traces. These things are round, long, and various shapes.
They are fossils.
And there are some similarities with the moon creatures we see now, although the shape is different. But the chitin composition in the fossils is very similar to the chitin composition of those creatures on Ash Island.
They are probably creatures in an evolutionary system,
But these in the sea are more primitive and smaller.
If you dig up the mud and dust in other places around you, you can also find some similar fossils. They are extremely rich in form. At present, Leviathan is swimming while digging, and now hundreds of species of creatures have been discovered.
All this shows... This sea used to be a place where life was extremely rich. Maybe the previous environment was not like it is now, but it was a very good area. When did the environment of the moon change drastically?
The age of these fossils is unclear, as all that remains is crustacean. It is more difficult to detect the age of the inner components of these shells, which is different from the method on the pom-pom.
Although there are many fossils under the dust. But there were no creatures in the dust. This place was originally a place where fungi were easy to gather, but every time she searched, Lin felt a little disappointed.
But now Leviathan has only explored part of the ocean, and there are other places that have not been...
Leviathan is now swimming across the former trench, into a place full of stone pillars...
In the dark and impurity-filled sea water, Leviathan uses sound to detect the surrounding environment. These stone pillars here are actually small islands, which extend all the way to the sea surface. I don't know why such strange stone pillars are formed.
Around these stone pillars, the outlines of some fossils can also be seen...
Leviathan observed these stone pillars, and Lin found that some fossils were similar to the primitive creatures on the pom-pom.
'Goo'.
Suddenly, Leviathan heard a sound coming from nearby. According to the detection, it was several blisters and a relatively large thing...
Leviathan turned around and looked into the distance. The light emitted by Leviathan could only illuminate a hazy view in the dusty sea. In this haze, a strange object could be seen in the sea. bed.
Leviathan swam over, and under the clear light, Lin saw... a skeleton.
It's a creature I've seen before on the island full of debris...
But this time there are more bones, not only the skull, but also the bones of the body. The skeleton of its body seems to be completely sealed, wrapping the internal organs like an armor, not like a creature on a pom-pom One by one.
Lin can confirm that this is a skeleton and not a shell. According to some traces left on it, and the ratio of the sternum to the skull, it can be seen that there is a layer of skin on the outside.
This bone is much bigger than the one Lynn found on Shard Island last time, but they are the same shape, maybe the one on the island is a baby.
And the composition of this skeleton... It's not the same as the chitin of the creatures of the moon, there are no cells in it, and it's not like the creatures with pompoms who often like to put immune organs and hematopoietic organs in the bones...
This bone has no limbs, but has a body and a head, but there are some traces left on it, and there are even some dander on the bone. It can be seen that its skin is relatively hard, and...
Lin felt that the creature had only died for a while, and it was not the poisonous dust that killed it, but another creature.
'Goo'. There was another sound of bubbles around, and Leviathan looked around. Although the surroundings were hazy, Lin was very clear about everything here...
A creature is hiding behind the stone pillar, and it seems to be watching all this...
But it doesn't know it, and the Leviathan is watching it too.
This creature has no limbs, like a kind of eel, its body is ten meters long, and its body is more than one meter in diameter, and the shape of its head is consistent with the skull of the bone that is now seen.
So that's it... It seems that this skeleton is only a small part. Is its whole body so long?
Thinking about it, Leviathan suddenly accelerated towards the creature's position, and the creature turned around and fled away as if startled.
Its speed is quite fast, almost 100 meters in two seconds. It is swimming continuously at this speed, and Leviathan is also closely behind. At this time, it passes through the previous trench, and this creature swims instantly. Into the trench, and continue to escape to the depths.
The width of the trench is only more than two meters, and Leviathan cannot enter because of its size, but... Lin has already aimed at this creature.
'Boom! ’
After a dull sound, a sharp object instantly pierced through the sea water and stuck directly on the creature's back. Its figure suddenly froze and stopped in the water... (To be continued...)
