The deep-sea giant louse has a flat body, overlapping scaly calcareous outer bones covering the body, and the head and tail are hidden under the bone armor, like an oval shield.
At this moment, its body quickly shuttled through the water, and the four sharp maxillopods beside its mouthparts waved wildly, and the twisted water lines quickly converged on the maxillopods.
After a while, four crampons more than half a meter long emitted a dangerous aura and locked Shao Zifeng in the bubble.
"Ow!"
Its red compound eyes flickered, and its flat body rolled up and snapped open, rushing towards the bubbles by the thrust of the sea water.
Not to be outdone, the other mutant creatures roared and rushed up.
Qiuqiu stared at the giant louse in the deep sea, and the fire flickered in his eyes.
Four dark red light spots appeared in front of it, and the hot breath instantly made the bubbles expand.
The next moment Qiuqiu's body shook, and the dark red light spots dissipated.
"Roar!"
It growled unwillingly.
The deep sea environment is too unfriendly to it, and its innate ability 'Lava Field' is equivalent to being abolished.
High-level skills like Dragon Flame Meteor and Purgatory Explosion Flame require it to return to its normal size even in the outside world, and it can be barely released through the help of the 'lava field' to absorb the fire element.
The elemental energy in the mutant organism is limited. If there is no talent to absorb the elements from the outside world, even if it is already fifth-order, it cannot be completely released by the elemental energy in the body.
The reason why Qiuqiu is stronger than the same rank is that its own aptitude is on the one hand, and the other is that it can continuously absorb the elements of the outside world to restore itself when fighting.
Before rushing into the sea, Qiuqiu used the high-level skill of Purgatory Blast.
If there is no replenishment, if there are more attacks like the sea snake, the elements in its body will be squandered.
There is not enough energy to support it to use another Infernal Blast.
But apart from the purgatory explosion, Qiuqiu's attack methods here are really lacking.
And now in the bubble, using any skill may blow the bubble. Ordinary human beings like Shao Zifeng are directly exposed to the deep sea, I am afraid that they will be crushed by the high-strength water pressure in an instant.
Qiuqiu stared at the mutant creatures chasing after him.
Its small claws are wrapped in flames, ready to smash at those who want to attack.
"Woo~"
The ice horn whale's tactful whale song is a little anxious. It is not a mutant creature that is good at speed in the ocean. In addition, it needs to control the water flow to run with the bubbles, and the speed is even slower.
boom!
"Ow!"
The flames splashed in the bubbles, and the deep-sea giant louse screamed and slammed down, leaving a string of bubbles behind, and two broken and charred jaw feet swirled and floated into the distance.
Qiuqiu was gasping for breath, and there was a scar on his paw that was dripping with blood.
The sinking deep-sea giant louse made the mutated biota below burst into turmoil.
A strange fish with two-thirds of its body in its head, bitten the deep-sea giant louse in two and threw it aside, and the other mutant creatures continued to charge up.
Qiuqiu licked the wound with his small tongue, and his golden red pupils were full of fighting intent.
"Roar!!"
Long Wei spreads down with the rolling sound waves, and the mutant creatures rushing to rush up froze, their eyes showing panic.
It's just that the strength of these mutant creatures is not much lower than that of Qiuqiu, and they broke free from fear in a moment.
The strange fish with a huge head did not continue rushing up, but raised its head and stared at the bubbles, blue fluorescent light flashed in its eyes, the originally distorted water patterns slowly solidified, and the ice-like crystals quickly moved around. diffusion.
At this time, the other mutant creatures also stopped, their eyes lit up with a light blue luster, and catkin-like icicles floated in the originally clear sea water.
The ice flakes collided with each other and condensed, gradually condensing into a huge solid ice, and quickly spreading around.
"They want to freeze us!"
Seeing this, Shao Zifeng glanced at the huge Ice Essence, thinking about whether to throw it away.
Qiuqiu stared at the spreading ice flowers, his little face was serious, he was thinking about whether his little fist could smash the ice cubes.
"Woo~"
The ice hornwhale felt the rapidly condensing ice element behind it, and a dazzling light erupted from the ice horn above its head.
The elegant and slender figure turned, and the gauze-like tail fin hit the bubble heavily, and the bubble quickly floated up with this thrust.
Shao Zifeng fell directly from the thrust of the thrust.
When he barely stabilized his body, he saw the ice horn whale quietly suspended below, the ice horn above its head exuding light, and the gauze-like fins danced constantly.
And the huge ice under it is still spreading rapidly.
The ice horn whale turned and 'looked' in the direction of Shao Zifeng. The starry eyes were shining with a little star. Although he knew that it couldn't see anything, these eyes were as intoxicating as treasures.
"Ice horn whale!"
Feeling the rapid drop in the temperature of the sea water, the ice hornwhale no longer hesitated, clenching its teeth and hitting the fast-spreading solid ice with its ice horns.
Click!
The moment the ice corner touched the ice surface, a dazzling light erupted, and after a brief silence, the sound of dense ice cracking continued to sound.
After the mixed energy was added to the power of the ice horn whale, it collided with each other and exploded into a huge shock.
"Woo~"
The nearest ice horn whale bore the brunt of the blast, leaving tiny scars on its white body.
Dark red blood threads overflowed from the wound and were quickly diluted by the sea water.
The huge energy shock repelled all the mutant creatures below, and the scarred hornwhale and bubbles also floated up a long distance again with this power.
At this time, they were less than one-third away from the junction of Forgotten Cold River and Abyss Sea.
The shocking ice horn whale twitched unconsciously, its body floated upward, and all its veil-like fins were completely broken.
When the ice horn whale drifted by, Shao Zifeng grabbed the ice horn whale's tail in a hurry.
But how could the four-meter-long ice horn whale be so easy to pull, his entire arm was pulled out, half of his face was tightly attached to the inner wall of the bubble, and the whole person was hung in the air.
The biting chill made his palms turn blue and purple instantly, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
"Hey!"
Qiuqiu anxiously wanted to stretch out his small paws to help, but was stopped by Shao Zifeng.
Their two attributes are mutually exclusive, and if they are in direct contact, they will suffer much more damage than themselves.
At this time, the bubbles and the group of mutant creatures were blocked by a thick layer of ice formed by countless pieces of ice, and there should be no mutant creatures that could chase after them in a short time.
Shao Zifeng looked at the open-skinned ice horn whale and turned his head to look at his other palm.
When empathy started, he opened his eyes, and the spot of light moved in his peripheral vision.

The biting chill continued to spread, and Shao Zifeng felt a little dizzy in his head.
Staring at the healing on the light curtain, he decided to try again.
Closing his eyes, he seriously felt another element full of vitality in addition to flames.
On the sea not far from the drift ice sea, the old Yermak drifted quietly.
Valery was standing on the foredeck with the binoculars in his hand, his sturdy body casually draped in an old woolen coat, his messy chest hair trembling slightly in the sea breeze.
From the place where the Yermak was anchored, thick dark clouds shrouded the drift-ice sea, and the sea with their bright sun was like two worlds.
Taking down the telescope and handing it to the observer behind him, Valery rubbed his bearded chin with his hand.
"What the hell is the Xuelong doing? It's been parked for two days."
The middle-level subordinates standing behind them looked at each other, and it was even more impossible for them to know that the big men from the Far East who were full of muscles in their brains.
Zhang Erya stood at the end of the crowd leaning against the railing, with the small dagger flipping at her fingertips, as if everything had nothing to do with her.
In fact, as a spy with one-way contact, she was very worried at this time.
"Cough cough."
Matvey put one hand to his mouth and coughed a few times. He reached out and patted the observer on the shoulder, and reached out to ask him for a telescope.
The observer shoved the binoculars into his hands and looked at the place he had just photographed in disgust.
Matvey's mouth twitched slightly, and then a faint smile appeared on his pale face.
"I'm sorry, my disease is not contagious."
The observer ignored him and stepped aside.
The middle-level cadres let out low-pitched laughter and looked at Matvey jokingly.
Zhang Erya glanced at them, then turned to look at the dark clouds in the distance.
Valery glanced back, not interfering with the mockery of his subordinates.
Matvey took a deep breath and put the telescope over his eyes.
After a while he took off the binoculars and coughed a few times.
"Matvey, tell me what you think."
Valery, who is nearly two meters tall, stared at Matvey condescendingly, his fierce face covered with beards.
"Ahem, boss, they're using an unmanned depth detector."
"And then?" Valery was silent for a moment. "You want to tell me they're doing research?"
"I have eyes myself, Matvey."
Seeing that Valery was impatient, Matvey quickly explained, "I feel like they're in trouble."
"Oh?" Valery looked at him with interest: "Tell me what you think."
Matvey showed a confident smile on the corner of his mouth: "The main purpose of their expedition is Antarctic expeditions, not deep-sea expeditions in drift ice waters."
"The Antarctic summer window is only for a few months, and scientific expedition teams from all over the world will rush to the Antarctic against the clock. If it is not necessary, they will not be delayed on the road for too long, and they have stopped in the same place for two whole days, which is very unusual. ."
"Combined there are two icebergs not far from the berth."
"And I vaguely saw a few mutant creatures with fire attributes flying at low altitudes just now, so I speculate that they should have encountered Yinbing Mountain or some other trouble, and some people went missing in the process."
"After all, there can be no mutant creatures with attributes other than ice water in the drift ice sea area, let alone the fire attribute that hates cold."
"If nothing else, the person they're looking for should be important."
After finishing his speculations in one breath, Matvey, who was poured in a lot of sea breeze, coughed violently again.
He bent over and coughed violently to take a few steps away from the people around him.
When Matvey straightened up, Valery patted him on the shoulder admiringly.
"You sure are reliable, Matvey."
"It's my duty to share the worries for the group boss." Matvey's pale face had an unhealthy blush.
Valery nodded with satisfaction, the brown pupils in his deep eye sockets looking into the distance.
"It seems that I have to make them more difficult, which is more interesting, isn't it?"
In the drift ice sea area, the Xuelong is surrounded by floating ice drifting along with the ocean currents.
The gloomy dark clouds kept falling with snowflakes, cutting across the sky like knives in the violent cold wind.
The atmosphere inside the Xuelong was very depressing, and this depressing atmosphere had been going on for two days.
On the foredeck, staff in windproof suits are performing emergency maintenance on the deep-sea probe, which will soon dive again to other areas.
Chen Yixin wore an orange-red windbreaker and looked into the distance, her chestnut hair was trembling with the cold wind.
Under the lead-grey dark clouds, a few crimson streamers passed by, embellishing this gray-white world with other colors.
"Professor, you should have something to drink first."
Tang Tang hurriedly ran with a hot drink in her arms, looking at Chen Yixin with chapped lips, she was about to cry.
In order to get first-hand information, Chen Yixin has not had a good rest for two days. She has stopped all work. As long as the staff starts to work, she will stand here.
In the past two days, Tang Tang did not know how many times she persuaded her, but she just didn't listen.
Sometimes they talk nonsense.
What if Shao Zifeng had an accident, she would have no face to see her brother and sister-in-law.
Because I don't know what Shao Zifeng has to do with her brother and sister-in-law, Tang Tang thought she was too tired to talk nonsense.
"Crack!"
A few hoarse calls sounded, and the Phoenix Pheasant hovered and landed on the deck.
Compared to the previous two days, their hair was messy and dull.
As soon as he landed on the ground, he lay down and closed his eyes, letting his withered feathers tremble in the cold wind.
Shangguanlong patted his partner distressedly, and looked up at the woman standing at the forefront.
He wanted to tell Chen Yixin that it had been two days and that even if Shao Zifeng was still alive at the time, his hope was now slim.
But as a soldier, Chen Yixin, as the object of his protection, obeying her orders is their first priority.
He took off his goggles and gloves, walked behind Chen Yixin and saluted.
"Professor, after searching for ten miles this time, we still haven't found the whereabouts of Brother Zifeng."
Thank you Akan for the reward.
I really lost my golden retriever this time, it's so sad.
Then ask for a ticket, there should be another chapter.
