At the bottom of the deep trench, the deep submersible emitted light all around, with a little visibility through several basketball-sized windows. As for how far you can see, the results will naturally vary depending on your ability.

At first, everyone was very curious about the scenery deep in the trench, so they all chose the nearest window to look out. After looking for a while, they found that there was nothing special down there, just ravines and mountains. After sailing for dozens of kilometers, the scenery was the same, and gradually we became tired and lost much interest.

Li Muye took the initiative to chat with evildoers, and talked about the things Bai Wuxia was doing now, some of which were outrageous to both humans and gods. Li Muye was a little curious about what this tiger girl wanted to do

Bai Wuxia is now ahead of Schroeder on the road of evolution. It is not an exaggeration to say that she has jumped out of the three realms and is not in the five elements. The three realms and five elements all still fall into the category of using the force of heaven and earth to exert magical powers, but she has evolved the ability to generate ice force by herself. As long as the power of thought reaches it, it can form a world of its own, and it can even release absolute zero-degree temperatures to freeze time and space.

Why would she want to kill those innocent mortals? It's obviously not for money. The secular rules no longer have much binding force on her, so how meaningful can money be? Not for power. After the rat incident on Capitol Hill, she planted many thorns in the center of North American politics. Doing this kind of thing is obviously not a bonus.

For evil, she uses human body solution to extract drugs and refine new drugs, which have a strong addictive effect. And it can stimulate human potential in the early stage, but once this drug reaches a certain dose, humans will become monsters with infinite strength, degraded brain power, and only know how to do things according to instinct. This statement seems to be no different from the zombie legend.

Maybe she just wants to turn more people into mindless walking zombies

While Li Muye was deep in thought, suddenly a child's scream came from the corner, but it was the strange sound made by Ashiya Tadanobu's pet water monkey. Xun Sheng looked over and saw the little thing in the transparent water tank, staring at the observation window next to him with a pair of watery eyes. This thing's scientific name is Xiangxiang, which is why it has a form but is invisible. However, in fact, it only has a shape close to water, and is not completely invisible. Under normal conditions, some facial features can still be seen.

It was dark outside the window, and Ashiya Tadanobu saw nothing. Huo Yun and the Shark Giant glanced at each other, showing confusion. Li Muye didn't notice anything unusual when he looked over, but just when he looked back, he accidentally glanced at the window beside Huo Yun and suddenly noticed a dark object passing by dozens of meters away. The speed was too fast and the visibility was poor. I couldn't see clearly what it was, but the huge outline was much larger than the deep submersible.

The deep submersible continued to move forward, and the thing flashed and did not appear again.

Long Gongming looked around and signaled Eilai to turn on the deep-sea sonar radar scanning device to search for suspicious feedback. As a result, he only got signal feedback from a few deep-sea peaks. Disappointed, he said angrily to Ashiya Tadanobu, "Watch your little friend."

"No!" Li Muye said solemnly: "It did find something just now. I also seemed to see a huge black shadow passing by us at a very fast speed. This monster is a prehistoric life form formed by the gathering of water spirits. , we are not as good as it in the depths of this sea, just because we can’t discover things doesn’t mean it can’t sense it.”

Long Gongming was a little surprised and asked: "Boss, are you sure you read it correctly?"

Li Muye nodded and said, "I'm sure it's correct. That thing moved very fast. The water monkey should have seen it first. Then it moved to the position behind Huo Yun and was seen by me again. I also saw an outline. It seems to be some kind of mollusk.”

"It should be the Siren Tribe." Huo Yun suddenly said: "It's the octopus you often call, a marine creature with an IQ no lower than that of humans. We call them the Siren Tribe. Because of different evolutionary choices, their size can grow indefinitely. So there are often individuals with very exaggerated postures.”

All oceanic peoples around the world have myths and legends related to sea monsters, just as there are rumors about zombie attacks all over the world.

"Is it a giant squid?" Lu Shaofen asked.

"No." Huo Yun said: "The king squid you mentioned is just a low-level creature. It can also grow very huge, but it is just food raised by the Kraken Tribe. It is a hundred times stupider than the real Kraken Tribe. It is about It’s like the difference between a chimpanzee and a human.”

"You just said that the IQ of this sea monster tribe is not lower than that of humans?" Xiao Fen was a little unbelievable.

Huo Yun glanced at her expressionlessly, and then said with no concealment of disdain: "There are so many monsters, the universe is so big, are humans the only intelligent creatures? This sea monster tribe came here with the Shark tribe, they The level of intelligence depends on the degree of evolution, which is roughly divided into three stages, distinguished by body size. The first stage is the infancy stage. At this stage, the Kraken tribe is not very intelligent, is small, fragile, and has many natural enemies. , it is usually difficult to evolve to the second stage.”

Then he added: "It may take several years or even longer to go from the first stage to the second stage. The body shape of the sea monsters in the second stage is close to the adult body of the king squid. At this time, their IQ is already very high and they know how to avoid danger. , use the favorable conditions and environment for themselves to hunt and survive, and they are completely invincible living in the depths of the ocean. Unless the rats rebel, no other species can threaten their lives."

The years she mentioned were probably calculated according to the Sharman tribe's method.

Huo Yun continued: "In the second stage, the Kraken clan will enter the rapid growth stage. The largest individual I have heard of has been recorded in ancient documents and has been passed down to the world as myths and legends."

"In the unfathomable depths of the sea, the Kraken is sleeping. It has been sleeping for centuries, and will continue to rest on the giant sea worm, until one day the fire of the sea worm will warm the bottom of the sea, and both men and angels will witness it. Rising from the bottom of the sea with a roar, everything on the sea will be destroyed." Evilai said: "Are you talking about the North Sea Kraken?"

Huo Yun nodded and said: "Yes, that's it, a huge sea monster with a body diameter of one mile." He added: "The significant difference between the second stage of evolution and the third stage is that the latter will evolve into a concentrated form of flesh and blood essence. The demon elixir, which is the force of life, is the most valuable thing for the Shark Race."

"It sounds like a myth." Lu Shaofen frowned and said: "The body is one mile in diameter. Isn't it like an island? Is there really an animal that can grow so huge?"

Li Muye interjected: "The world is full of wonders. There are many things that you have never seen and are beyond our imagination. In 1782, 10 British warships mysteriously disappeared in the northern waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Fleet Commander De Montfort survived, but he thought he was attacked by a giant octopus and sank. This absurd theory was not accepted. As a result, Montfort's reputation was damaged and he was dismissed from the navy. He later starved to death in Paris."

He added: "The reason why the myths we understand are considered myths may not be because of the absurdity of the stories themselves, but because of the shallowness of our knowledge."

Xiaofen shook his head and said, "I still think it's incredible."

Li Muye smiled and said: "Do you remember the person you first met living in the jar when you first entered the world? Before that, could you imagine that such a person existed in the world? It's like, For a poor person who has struggled with food and clothing all his life, it is simply unimaginable that someone would need to kill hundreds of birds at a time just to eat a plate of fried tongue."

"You mean that ignorance has limited my imagination?" Xiaofen said unconvinced: "This octopus is not a rare thing. It is really such a powerful life, and it has not already occupied all the marine resources?"

Li Muye and others thought the same way. Since this sea monster clan is so powerful and lives in the vast and deep sea, if each one can grow to the level of a giant North Sea monster, no matter how many warships humans have, they may not be able to survive. Find a way to fight them at sea.

"No." Huo Yun said: "Although the Sirens are powerful in talent and not low in intelligence, they have a great nature that limits the reproduction of their population, that is, they like to kill each other, especially when they enter the second level. After this stage, in order to obtain more life force and evolve demon pills, they need a lot of blood food, so compared to other marine creatures, the same kind is their best choice for food."

Li Muye suddenly said: "It's no wonder. They kill each other and the fittest survive. The big ones are getting bigger and bigger, and it is difficult for other sea monsters to have a chance to grow up."

"It can't be said that there is no chance, it's just that it's too difficult." Huo Yun said: "So I heard from my second brother that when we were on our home planet, the Sirens who had evolved to the second stage would be destroyed once their body size exceeded the dangerous limit. Find a relatively safe sea area with few creatures to survive, or simply become a slave to the powerful sharks. Otherwise, it will be difficult to have the chance to evolve to the third stage. But once you evolve to the third stage, there will be few rivals in the depths of the sea. exists."

Long Gongming suddenly said: "When I was on the Schroeder, I was ordered to lead a team to capture something similar. It was in an abyss of 10,000 meters in the South Atlantic. At that time, I captured a large one with a diameter of about 100 meters. The octopus weighs close to five tons. At that time, we just wanted to collect the genes of this creature. The boss knew that there were many strange things on the Schroeder. The big octopus took up too much space, so we later killed and smashed it. Made octopus cakes.”

Li Muye chuckled and said: "Come on, I have found the source this time. If there is a sea monster clan outside, maybe it is the ancestor of the one you captured. They smelled your scent and came to you specifically to take revenge. of."

Huo Yun reminded sternly: "The closer you get to the entrance to Guixu, the more difficult the living conditions will be. When food is scarce, ordinary sea monsters will not settle here. Those who have the ability to establish a foothold in such an area are at least physically fit. The giant monster hundreds of meters tall took the risk and settled here just for the chance to devour other powerful beings."

Badai was a little excited and said: "Mr. Long, our weapon system shouldn't have any problem dealing with this thing, right?"

Long Gongming was about to say it was hard to say, but suddenly he noticed something was wrong with the radar scanning screen in front of him. An undersea mountain peak that had been previously scanned seemed to have moved! (End of chapter)
