Chapter 120 The Kidnapper of the Abyss
This is a place of pure darkness.
This is under the foggy deep sea. Although it is not very deep, there is no light that can reach here. This is a world where nothing can be seen, but if there is light, you can see a 'thorn ball' parked on the seabed.
It was actually a group of worms tangled together. Dozens of worms were wrapped together to form a thorn ball with a diameter of more than ten meters. In the thorn ball, there was a ship, Susumi and Some emerald dragons are trapped inside...
After the worm grabbed Susumi's ship, it sank to the seabed, and then... there was no movement.
They didn't seem to be going anywhere, and the worms showed no signs of trying to move, but there was still a lot of air inside because they were sealed.
They've been there for so long, what are these worms trying to do? Although there is still enough air inside, it can't wait forever.
Lin has always let one soldier - Bechymos watch them here, Bechymos, Bechymos was originally on the journey to the East Continent, and because it is relatively close, Lin let Bechymos came to this sea.
Now, Lynn wants to try bumping them and see what happens...
Thinking about it, Lin let Behemoth swim over slowly and hit the thorn ball lightly.
'Gollum. ' There were some air bubbles in the thorn ball, but it remained motionless.
‘Boom! ’ Then Behemoth hit it with more force, and the whole thorn ball shook on the seabed. . . .
However, the worms still haunt the ship. remain completely motionless.
It's really fun. Why are they so persistent? It seems that they have an odd purpose. Moreover, they think wrapping the ship is more important than their own lives?
Then take a bomb and see the answer.
Behemoth extended the muzzle from both sides of his head and aimed at the worms. After calculation, Lin's bomb would not hurt the ship inside, but it would cause some damage to the worms. Let's take a look their reactions.
'Boom! ’
A blaster collided with the thorn ball and exploded. There was a dull sound in the water.
"Gollum..." The worm affected by the bomb,
The spikes on their bodies fell off a lot, and some blood flowed out from them. Although there was no light, the smell was too strong.
Even so, they remained in one position.
While the worm did not move, the surrounding environment behaved differently.
‘Boom. ' A strange voice came from Behemoth's side.
Lin noticed that the dark water around her lit up a little, almost the same as the fire she saw on the sea before.
Because in the pure black environment, even the star-like fire is particularly conspicuous. Like a ghost fire, it slowly floated over here...
and. Not only this flame, as it fluttered, the surrounding waters also lit up with the same light.
Like countless torches burning in the water, this place was lit up by the firelight, and the dark seabed instantly became as bright as day.
Under the light of the light, Lin could clearly see the burning things in the water. Like the water on the surface, they were stones with a torch on their backs, but they moved quickly in the water and gathered here. Come……
Lin called this kind of thing 'sea ghosts', and they were actually a kind of creature.
These creatures have arthropod-like internal organs, but their shells are constructed of rock-like crusts. They can float and move freely in the water, and most especially, the torches on their backs.
The 'torch' on the sea ghost's back is a hollow tube filled with their own excrement. At the bottom of the tube, they suck up the water and push it up. Will ignite excrement in a way and let it burn.
Because it is protected by a transparent shell, it seems to be able to burn in the water, and the oxygen consumed by the combustion is also provided by themselves. They have the ability to quickly extract oxygen in the water. These creatures are the 'sea of lights' the truth……
The specific function of this torch is not completely determined, it may be used for lighting, it may be used to attack, or it may be used to achieve a special relationship with the strange fish.
When sea ghosts are haunted, there are bound to be strange fish around, and there are a large number of strange fish near each burning fire, and their targets are quite the same, that is, Lin's Behemoth.
The creatures surrounded Behemoth, and they continued to swim around, but did not attack.
However, Lin didn't plan to wait for them to attack. Behemoth opened the muzzle first and aimed at the surrounding fish.
'Boom! ’
Under the muffled sound of the bomb, the group of strange fish quickly dispersed in fright, but they gathered again at the same speed. This time, they finally opened their mouths and rushed towards Bechymos.
A large number of strange fish completely wrapped Bechymos in it. They kept tearing and biting the skin of Bechymos, but their teeth could not penetrate the tough skin of Bechymos, but they still kept trying. on.
Behemoth shook his body a little, shaking all the fish on him, and they rushed over immediately, but Behemoth made a sound at this time.
'Om—' This is an extreme noise. All the strange fish stopped in place and shook their heads uncomfortably.
Sure enough, the sound attack is quite effective...
……and many more.
Lin suddenly found that the worm thorn ball that was beside Behemoth before was gone.
That thorn ball... did you take the opportunity to run away? Its movements are really quite fast, but I still don't know how they move...
Maybe the reason why they didn't move just now was because Behemoth was watching. I don't know if these strange fish are related to sea ghosts and worms. They may just come here to hunt by chance... or they are with worms. Cooperation?
They still want to continue attacking Behemoth now, and Lin thinks the former is more likely...
But even if the worms escaped when Behemoth wasn't looking, Lynn knew where they went.
Spies are everywhere...
…………
"Gah... where is this place?"
A green creature opened its eyes, and a soft glow slowly filled its vision...
It looked around and found that it was sitting on a gray sandy ground, some strange-shaped plants, they were only more than ten centimeters high, with fat leaves, and the leaves exuded sky blue light.
Among these piles of plants, there are still several emerald dragons sleeping...
This light made the awakened emerald dragon, Susumi, to understand that this was a cave, and the surrounding cave walls were also covered with this kind of luminous plants. It and part of the crew came here somehow,
"Surrounded by a group of worms, then it seemed to sink under the sea, and then there was a strange vibration..." Susumi tried to recall the previous situation, but it felt a little headache: "Why did you come to such a strange place ?"
"Gah!" There was an exclamation from Susumi's side, and an emerald dragon next to it climbed up: "King? Are you not injured?"
"It's okay." Susumi said, "We seem to be in a strange place."
"It's really strange," said the emerald dragon. "We should... what is that?"
Suddenly there was a sound from the bushes in front, and I saw a small creature climbed onto a taller plant and looked into Susumi's eyes.
"This is an ancient squid." Susumi knew this creature.
This ancient squid is about 20 centimeters tall. Although it looks small, it is larger than the species of the North Continent, but its appearance is exactly the same.
The ancient squid waved its tentacles on the plant, its body stood up, and began to change various colors, which combined to transform into patterns.
The ancient squid made various patterns in front of the two emerald dragons, but Susumi and the other emerald dragon still looked at the ancient squid with doubts...
"King! It seems to want to express something, look at its patterns carefully." Jade Dragon carefully looked at the patterns on the ancient squid, and saw that the ancient squid first changed to a silver color, and then showed the two blades. pattern, then green, then bright red, and finally the pattern of fish...
"I see." Jade Dragon said, "It probably imagines us expressing that its meat, when cut with a knife, will turn red and green again, and it tastes like fish, very delicious."
Su Sumi looked at the emerald dragon expressionlessly: "Do you really think it would say that?"
"Gah..." The Emerald Dragon said, "I'm sorry, but I'm just a little hungry."
"It should be talking about those silver dragons." Susumi looked at the ancient squid and said, "It knows about our war."
Emerald Dragon said quickly: "As expected of a king! It must be like this!"
"You are... a member of the Institute of Oceanography." Su Sumi glanced at the emerald dragon and said, "I don't know how you got into the expedition, but after this, you can disband."
"Gah? Why?" Jade Dragon was stunned, but Su Sumi ignored it and continued to look at the ancient squid...
The ancient squid found that Susumi paid attention to it and began to change.
But the change this time is very simple, it first shows two stones sandwiched together, and then the white color appears...
"What does it represent this time?" Su Sumi looked more puzzled this time.
"The meaning of this is probably..." The Jade Dragon came over and said, "Is it going to use a stone to sandwich something?"
'boom! ' As soon as the Emerald Dragon's voice fell, there was a sound nearby. (To be continued..)
