2052, Thirty Years Of Sleep

Although the name of Yuanlong is very similar to that of Earth Dragon, the appearance of the two is very different.

Compared to the former, which has a head on the front and back and looks more like a combination of a fat lizard and a crocodile, the image of Yuanlong is more in line with the image of the so-called "dragon" in traditional Chinese cognition.

Yuanlong's huge oval head and slender snake-shaped body are basically in a 50-50 ratio. There are 12 triangular eyes arranged in the four directions of the head, up, down, left and right. The mouth can expand in a circle, and the unfolded membrane and The slender frame of the lip can make its mouth instantly become nearly ten times larger than its head.

There are at least a hundred rings of barbed teeth in the huge abyss mouth, which are arranged from the outside of the mouth to the end of the throat. As long as any creature is bitten, it will be like falling into a grinder, and the teeth will be instantly turned into blood mist by the crazy rotating teeth like a chain.

Even if some small ships are sucked in, the final result can only be twisted into twisted scrap iron bars, and then slowly sink into the endless abyss after being spit out. As for the humans in the boat, they were all squeezed into blood mist and flesh, and turned into nutrients for the Yuanlong.

"It feels like a person eating sugar cane." This was Yan Muyun's complaint during the first night of tutoring. Ye Buyu was stunned for a while, thinking about why he couldn't think of such a subtle metaphor.

The Yuanlong sea snake-like body structure is also very special, with a huge hole on its back and abdomen. It can absorb water through one hole, compress it to the limit of the body, and then spray it out through another hole to achieve an effect similar to rocket acceleration.

Even a Yuanlong in its juvenile stage can use this move to shoot like arrows at the bottom of the sea nearly a thousand meters away. In just a few seconds, it can reach the shallow sea and swallow everything on the sea surface in one gulp.

And by compressing seawater, Yuanlong can also release long-range attacks similar to water bombs, directly overturning ships, and even directly punching a big hole.

This ability has also evolved in the elite Abyssal Dragon. Once this deep-sea monster, which is nearly a hundred meters in size, is angered, all the scales on its body will fall off, revealing the skin underneath that is covered with pores the size of pinholes. These pores will expand to a size of at least half a meter and begin to absorb seawater crazily. Finally, after the entire body bulges into a round ball shape that is many times larger than the head, it will all explode at once.

This kind of "self-destruction" attack method can form a huge tsunami like mountains on the sea, which is powerful enough to directly destroy entire small towns located on the coast.

Fortunately, this is considered a life-saving trick for elite-level Yuanlongs and cannot be used easily. Currently, there are only a few recorded Yuanlong tsunamis around the world.

At the beginning of the Abyss Age, the Abyssal Dragons living in the sea were almost the most troublesome alien species in all countries. These insidious creatures that usually lurk at the bottom of the sea make almost no safe corner of the sea. For experienced captains and sailors, every time they go to sea is a life-threatening adventure.

You must know that until 2023, humans will only explore 5% of the ocean. Even this 5% is no longer safe. Who knows how many deadly things are hidden in the remaining 95%?

Fortunately, these alien species cannot land and usually only live in the sea. This gives each country time to stabilize the country and then concentrate on researching detection equipment and weapons against Yuanlong.

Fortunately, the sky is the limit, and the world's top scientists quickly discovered many characteristics of Yuanlong. For example, when Yuanlong absorbs seawater and prepares to spray out, it causes large-scale water flow abnormalities. For example, when Yuanlong opens its mouth when hunting, a certain part of its body emits high-speed vibrations of a specific frequency. For example, no matter what it faces, Yuanlong adheres to the principle of "fix it first." "One mouthful" of honest biological habits, such as a certain pheromone proposed from the sperm whale that can attract Yuanlong within dozens of sea miles...

Taking advantage of these characteristics of the Yuanlong, fleets from various countries were dispatched to conduct sweeps for several months. Only then was the safety of mankind's main navigation routes at sea guaranteed.

However, for the king-level Yuanlong, the military power of various countries no longer seems so invincible.

This true overlord in the ocean possesses an insidious ability that is inconsistent with its status. It absorbs seawater and releases a gray-white mist from the pores all over its body. Once shrouded in fog, all electronic equipment on the ship will lose its effectiveness. At the same time, there is some unknown toxin hidden in this mist, which can evoke the most terrifying memories in human hearts and create illusions that are comparable to reality.

However, this gray-white mist is not unsolvable. Although the electronic equipment is malfunctioning, weapons can be fired through human eye observation. The king-level Abyssal Dragon is huge, and the damage range of thermal weapons is also large. Even if it hits the opponent randomly, there is still a chance to hit the opponent. The only problem is that there is a considerable risk of death in doing so.

Not to mention the impact of this kind of fog on humans, as long as you wear special protective clothing and a gas mask, you will be fine.

That being said, nowadays, whenever we encounter those ships in the gray fog, whether they are warships or merchant ships, they have basically never appeared again.

...

The cruise ship's engine has stopped and it is drifting quietly on the sea surface with the ocean current.

"Have you changed your clothes?" Shi Shang shouted into the cabin.

"Okay, okay." Di Haotian came out of the room wearing a black diving suit. His steak head was now wrapped in a swimming cap.

Seeing him come out, Shi Shang stopped urging and went back to the captain's cabin: "The sperm whale pheromones were released ten minutes ago. It is estimated that the Abyssal Dragon will arrive soon. You should act quickly."

Di Haotian came to the stern of the boat and warmed up.

"Are you still afraid of cramps?" Karl said teasingly.

Di Haotian glanced at him, said nothing, and continued to warm up.

Yan Muyun next to him saw that something was wrong. While this guy was doing various warm-up movements, his eyes were fixed on the rippling blue water below, and the expression on his face looked particularly solemn.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Are you scared?"

"Shit! Am I scared?" Di Haotian's reaction was unexpectedly intense.

Yan Muyun shrank his neck and looked at the sea water below with a fearful look on his face: "I'm quite scared anyway. This place is too deep. The visibility is at most three or four meters. Who knows if there is anything hidden further down."

"Oh, so that's what you think. It does make sense." Di Haotian looked calm.

There was silence at the stern of the ship for a moment, with only the sound of the water rushing around.

Di Haotian just stood at the stern of the boat. He didn't know if the warm-up exercise just now was too intense, but a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

Karl chuckled: "So you are really scared?"

Di Haotian did not deny it this time, and his face turned red slightly.

Every human being has a weakness. There are many muscular men who are afraid of spiders and snakes. Relatively speaking, being afraid of the deep sea seems quite understandable.

Humanity's greatest fear is the fear of the unknown.

No one knows whether there are unknown creatures hidden in the thousands of meters of seawater below, or even alien species that only live on the seabed and have not been discovered by humans so far.

It's as if you accidentally broke into an abandoned hospital on a rainy night. You know that there are no ghosts in the world, but you look at the broken curtains blowing in the wind, the syringes and medicine bottles scattered everywhere, and the lack of any light. I don't know if it's the wind blowing or the inexplicable noise made by living creatures deep in the corridor... No matter who it is, everyone will feel terrified.

Such a small cruise ship was floating alone on the sea. There were no other ships and no islands in sight. It seemed that only this small ship and the people on it were left in the world.

The sound of footsteps coming down the stairs came from the second floor. The three silent people looked up and saw Lin Han, who had already changed into a diving suit, walking down. He was not wearing a swimming cap, his long hair was tied back on his head, and there was a knife hanging from his waistband, which was [Bai Xue] that could chop things through the air.

As if aware of the gazes of several people, Lin Han raised his head and glanced at them, and then asked a little strangely: "Why don't you two change your clothes?"

"Brother Lin..." Di Haotian was about to burst into tears. He did not expect that the person who supported him the most at this time was actually Lin Han, who had no ability to fight underwater.

Thinking of this, his face suddenly became serious and he made up his mind and said: "No, it's too dangerous down there. Brother Lin, you'd better not go, otherwise you won't be able to run if something happens."

"I have this." Lin Han raised his right hand, holding a ring with intertwined blue and black lines on his fingertips.

Di Haotian blinked and felt that the ring looked familiar.

Lin Han introduced: "The Sea Curse Ring, a forbidden object, allows the wearer to breathe in the water and also have a certain ability to control water. But the price is based on the time of use. It is very easy to feel thirsty on land. It needs Drinking a lot of water, being afraid of the sun, and having clear mucus coming out of your body.”

"Oh, I remember, I saw this thing when I was injecting genetic medicine!" Di Haotian clapped his hands and said excitedly.
