2052, Thirty Years Of Sleep

"So that's it, it's a shapeshifter. No wonder the radar didn't detect it at first."

Looking at the footage captured by the camera on the bottom of the ship, Shi Shang had a look of surprise on his face, clenching his right hand into the palm of his left hand.

Among the ten types of alien species currently appearing in the world, strictly speaking, only Yuanlong is an aquatic species and may appear anywhere in the sea. But among other alien species, there is one alien species that can appear in any environment without restrictions, and that is the shapeshifter.

The first "Abyssal Dragon" to attack was the shapeshifter.

"For a shapeshifter and an abyssal dragon to meet each other and travel together in the vast sea is a profound fate." Lin Han, who was standing on the bow of the ship, sighed while holding Bai Xue with one hand.

Compared to these two guys watching the fun, Di Haotian, whose whole head was bitten in Haili, was not so calm.

He reached out and grabbed "Yan Muyun's" head, pulled it to both sides, and easily tore it in half. However, to a shapeshifter, physical damage means nothing at all. In the next second, it turned into a big octopus with Yan Muyun's face. Its eight tentacles tightly wrapped around Di Haotian's body. It opened its mouth again, revealing a mouth full of fine sharp teeth, trying to bite his The brain is swallowed.

While Di Haotian was trying hard to tear away the tentacles wrapped around his body, he was dragged into the deep sea by the shape-shifting monster. The surrounding light dimmed rapidly, and only the wide-mouthed, weird and twisted face of "Yan Muyun" was left in front of him. His sanity level almost plummeted.

There is almost no damage, but it breaks psychological defense.

Just when "Yan Muyun"'s big mouth was about to cover Di Haotian's entire field of vision, he caught a glimpse of a blue-purple light in his peripheral vision, and then he felt a faint tingling sensation all over his body. The familiar yet terrifying face that was so close away disappeared.

"Bah!"

There was a dull explosion from the bottom of the sea, and two more blue-purple beams shot out, hitting the octopus on Di Haotian's chest. The eight tentacles shrank almost instantly, separated from Di Haotian's body, and ran away in another direction as if desperately, but their movements seemed extremely slow because of the current escaping from the surrounding sea area.

Before it ran far, two more thick blue-purple beams caught up and directly disintegrated the translucent gel-like object completely.

Di Haotian finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the shapeshifter was afraid of electricity, but he didn't expect it to be so afraid of electricity. Just three lightning bolts wiped it out.

"Fortunately, Yan Muyun is here..."

Di Haotian felt moved in his heart and looked in the direction of the lightning.

I saw a dark gray face slowly emerging from the dark sea water.

There are no eyebrows, and the corners of the eyes are raised high to form a triangle. The pupils are lizard-like upright ovals with blue-purple light shining inside. The corners of the face's mouth stretched to both sides, almost reaching the base of the ears, occupying one-third of the face, and the pale and sharp teeth inside could be faintly seen between the opening and closing.

"You... gurgle gurgle gurgle..." Di Haotian opened his mouth, and a large number of bubbles came out of his mouth. He was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly, and almost couldn't hold back a punch.

The unknown creature grinned, showed him a smile that didn't look friendly at all, and reached out to pat his shoulder.

"This guy is scarier than the alien species." Di Haotian sighed inwardly and followed the other person towards the sea.

After floating to the surface of the sea, Yan Muyun spat out a mouthful of salty sea water: "Pfft... is there another Abyssal Dragon?"

"Karl went to look for it, but there was no movement." Lin Han, who had already re-entered the sea, swam over here.

"This guy is as crazy as ever." Yan Muyun smacked his lips and said, "Let's go and help him."

"It shouldn't be necessary. He is coming up, and he is dragging a big guy in his hand." Shi Shang's voice came from the headset.

The three of them were all shocked. They did not doubt Karl's ability. This guy's ability didn't sound too special, but his strength was a bit strange. Even Lin Han wasn't sure if he was Karl's opponent. He couldn't guarantee that even if he slashed three times a day, he wouldn't be able to cause substantial damage to this guy.

But the Abyssal Dragon is, after all, the dominant creature in the ocean today, and even if it can't defeat it, it still has plenty of ways to save its life. Lian Muyun was caught off guard and was knocked far away, and he finally swam back.

In such a short period of time, could Karl really capture Yuanlong alive?

"Wow!"

There was a sound of water breaking, and a huge black shadow was thrown out of the water, arced through the air, and most of its body landed heavily on the deck at the rear of the yacht.

"Woooo..."

A low whimper sounded, causing everyone's heart to skip a beat and their breathing to become rapid.

"Scream, scream, I'm calling you." Karl stepped on the head of the immobile Yuanlong, and half of his calf sank into its eye socket, splashing large amounts of light blue blood.

Yuan Long's sobs instantly turned into miserable howls. Although they seemed harsh and shrill, they no longer had the power that caused inexplicable fear in everyone's hearts.

Shi Shang walked out of the cabin and marveled at the half-dead giant monster: "It's really strange. When the Yuanlong preys or attacks, it usually first scares the prey with its cry, and then attacks. Why is it that it's almost dead this time?" That’s why I used this ability.”

"Perhaps the shapeshifter said to it: 'Enter the village quietly and don't shoot.'" Yan Muyun, who had just climbed onto the boat, told a cold joke.

"It is indeed possible that he was influenced by that shape-shifting monster." Shi Shang nodded in approval.

Yan Muyun was a little helpless, once again deeply feeling the generation gap between him and his "peers". If Wei Min were here, he would probably have some reaction to his joke.

"Kill it." Karl raised his chin at him.

Yan Muyun nodded slightly, stepped forward, and ended the life of the abyssal dragon, bringing an end to this not-so-difficult mission.

...

The sun was setting in the west, and only half of the sunset in the distance dyed the sea blood red.

"It will take at least 8 hours. It is estimated that we will not arrive at the Ark until early tomorrow morning." Shi Shang yawned and casually reported the voyage.

"Let's have a banquet? A celebration banquet." Di Haotian walked out of the cabin below, holding a tuna about the same size as him in his arms. After finishing off the Yuanlong this afternoon, Carl, who was so anxious that he couldn't catch any fish for a long time, went straight into the sea to catch it. There are still five finger holes on the fish's head.

"We went to sea for a mission, not a vacation." Shi Shang was speechless: "I only have various weapons on this ship, but there is no oven."

"Tsk... Of course tuna is eaten raw." Di Haotian said matter-of-factly.

"I don't like the taste of raw food. You can just eat it." Shi Shang waved his hand.

Karl, who was sitting on the top of the boat, leaned down and looked down, and smiled: "I thought you had transformed your body into a machine, and you didn't need to eat for a long time."

Shi Shang glanced up at him, as if he was too lazy to pay attention to this guy, and walked away.

"I also prefer grilled fish." Ye Buyu appeared out of nowhere, grabbed Yan Muyun's hand lying on the chair and raised it: "Fortunately, we have a natural oven."

"Isn't pure natural a general description of food..." Yan Muyun was speechless.

Di Haotian, who was holding the fish, looked hopefully at Lin Han, who was standing on the side of the boat: "Come on, let's try cutting sashimi with your Baixue."

Yan Muyun also became interested: "Will it be like in the movie? As soon as you draw the sword, the sky is filled with sword light, and then the whole fish turns into countless sashimi slowly falling down."

"Give it a try." Ye Buyu's eyes lit up.

Lin Han: "..."

The three of them kept arguing, which made Lin Han want to get into the cabin.

"Huh?"

At this moment, Karl, who was sitting on the top of the boat, suddenly straightened up, raised his ears slightly, stretched his neck and looked toward the southwest, like an alert wolf.

Yan Muyun, who had been smiling playfully just a moment ago, immediately lost his expression. He stood up from the beach chair and turned to look to the southwest.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing his strange behavior, Di Haotian and Ye Buyu were both stunned.

"Woooo..."

A low whimper sounded without warning, shrouding the vast sea.

Like the whistling wind in the deep mountains and empty valleys, like the injured beast deep in the dark and lonely forest, like the lonely dying and sinking whale in the lightless deep sea.

Boundless and ancient, remote and sacred, it evokes the most primitive fear of nature in people's hearts, as if they were in an era thousands of years ago when they knew nothing about this world.

Rain falling towards the sky.

Pure black dazzling light.

A city wrapped in sea salt.

Well-dressed large dog.

The man at the feet of the running shadow.

The world I live in is so strange, and it really makes me feel honored.
