star hunter

Chapter 364 Crystal Mountain

There were already many sea beasts surrounding the aircraft. The good thing is that these sea beasts were focused on escaping and did not show any hostility towards the aircraft that appeared here. At most, they would scratch it with their claws out of curiosity.

The hunting of the sawtooth fish lasted for an hour. When the sea surface gradually calmed down, these hunters did not completely leave. The calmness of the sea surface did not mean that they officially left. In the waters below the sea surface, there were still

There is a large laggard force of sawtooth fish staying. Therefore, to see if the group of sawtooth fish has completely left, just look at the movements of the sea beasts taking refuge on the rocks.

Not all of these sea beasts are amphibians. Many of them can only stay on the rocks for a short period of time. They will only venture out of the sea for a longer period of time when seeking refuge. Therefore, compared to other sea beasts, these guys are the most anxious.

, Xilin and others only need to pay attention to the movements of this sea beast.

After another ten minutes or so, sea beasts began to slowly approach the sea. After a few sea beasts tested it, they plunged into the water and disappeared after a while. Other sea beasts also began to enter the water one after another. Originally,

The crowded atoll began to become sparse, and the "lords" began to expel outsiders.

"Get ready for action." After all the sea beasts left the atoll, Long said, "Xilin, call Hulu back, we are going to set off to the target point."

The gray cat that was called back by Xilin was still a little unsatisfied. However, it did not enter the aircraft immediately after flying out of the sea. Instead, it found a few key spots in the previously cleaned area to urinate, and then peed on the rocks.

Rubbed around.

"Is this dividing territory?" Pascaldo asked.

"Probably. It's just that I'm not sure if the sea beasts can understand the way cats divide their territories." Another person replied.

The big sea beast killed by the gray cat had been thrown into the sea to feed the sawtooth fish. There were still some blue blood stains on the reef. However, the gray cat didn't think that these blood stains could make the group of small sea beasts retreat. So it used its own

The method left a scent here. If those sea beasts don't know the current situation, they can just deal with those guys when the time comes. The reason is also very legitimate.

After the gray cat that had circled its territory entered the aircraft, Long switched the aircraft to diving mode and entered the sea.

After the aircraft entered the water, Xilin and others formally saw the large staircase under the atoll. The staircase extended from the steep slope under the atoll to the depths of the seabed.

There is still light that can penetrate into the surface area of ​​the sea water. Although the blue of this sea area after being hunted by the sawtooth fish is a bit darker, you can also see various sea fish swimming around underwater and some sea animals.

"There are not many large sea beasts in the surface sea area. Sometimes sea beasts in the middle sea area will come out for a walk in order to hunt for food. However, generally speaking, such heavyweight sea beasts cannot be encountered here. Like the one killed by Hulu

It’s just that it’s relatively large on the surface, but it’s not big enough to see in the middle sea area.”

As the aircraft goes deeper into the sea, Long will tell Xilin about some sea beasts in the sea. Many of the things recorded in the information are incomplete. When encountering unfamiliar species, Long will ask his men to record the new species and analyze them together.

Basic information on growing sea beasts. Xilin was also able to learn a lot about this from their discussions.

There is a lot of information that does not necessarily require various instruments to measure and analyze. People like Long and others who are very familiar with the sea area can infer a large amount of information based on the appearance and size of a sea beast. Every species

The advantages and disadvantages of evolution are clearly shown in the eyes of people like Long. Perhaps this group of sea beasts undergo undirected mutations in the world surrounded by a special magnetic field in "Sea Paradise", but natural directional selection will allow the outstanding mutants to survive.

Every organ and every body shape has its own reason.

The deeper you go, the darker the light in the sea water becomes. But Long did not let people turn on the lighting equipment of the aircraft, but used night vision equipment. Here, many sea beasts are sensitive to light, and the lighting of the aircraft will excite those big guys.

"There are many big guys that look very ferocious, but their tempers are actually not as bad as they look. They don't have much curiosity about unfamiliar objects, and are only interested in their familiar prey." The aircraft was flying from an aircraft.

After swimming past the more than seventy-meter-long sea beast, Long said to Xilin.

The gray cat squatting on Xilin's shoulder looked at the guy on the screen who was slowly wagging his tail and walking away, and smashed his mouth. As expected, the forehead of a sea beast cannot be judged by its appearance alone.

I don’t know if this area has just been cleared by a school of sawfish. The flying signal did not encounter any trouble when diving, and there were relatively few sea monsters.

The sea beasts in the middle sea area are really big. The few sea beasts we saw were all about 100 meters long, some were like jellyfish, and there were also all kinds of strange sea beasts.

Xilin looked at the display on the screen. Now the aircraft has dived to more than 2,700 meters. According to the detection results of the previous detectors, something will be discovered soon.

"Beep——"

"Beep——"

The detection equipment on the aircraft sounded a beep as expected.

"It is indeed from here that the abnormal signals started to appear." A subordinate said to Long.

"Carry out in-depth analysis." Long turned on an instrument, which was not available on the previous detectors, and the previous five detectors could not accurately copy this signal. They could only come here and then try again

Perform analysis.

Soon, the analysis results came out.

"This is like a guidance signal, telling people who come here which direction to go." The person operating the analyzer said, "Master, would you like to follow the direction of the signal?"

Long said nothing, looked at Xilin, and then walked to a rest room.

Xilin threw the gray cat onto Xiying's shoulder and followed Long into the room.

In the room, Long closed the door and took out the star map. The shining image of the key on the star map pointed in a direction like a pointer, but that direction was not the place guided by the signal.

"What do you think?" Long asked Xilin.

"Follow the star map and don't worry about the signal." Xilin said. Although he didn't know much about the Xi family, from the little understanding he had, Xilin felt that the signal was more like an opponent's signal.

A misleading message for people who don’t have a star chart.

After staring at the star map in his hand, Long put the star map away.

"Then just follow the directions on the star map!"

Although Pascaldo and others didn't understand why their eldest son didn't follow the direction pointed by the signal and insisted on walking according to the original target point, since Long said it, they did it.

Ying Weiji glanced at Long and Xilin and continued to be serious. He knew that his eldest son must know some key information, but he did not expect that the eldest son would not even tell him, the old man who was following Fox, but instead went with a group of hunters.

The squad leader discussed. What exactly is the information?

As she thought about it, Ying Weiji's eyelids suddenly twitched.

Could it really be...tears of God?!

The current temperature in the sea water has basically remained unchanged. And the surroundings are pitch black. At first, the aircraft was able to use night vision equipment to observe the surrounding situation, but when it dived to 7,000 meters, the magnetic field interference intensified.

Some basic equipment such as night vision equipment on aircraft began to fail.

"We're close to the seabed," Pascaldo said.

The previous detectors lost contact when they approached the seabed. Now they also encountered this situation.

"Slow down the speed one more level, be more careful."

"Yes, young master."

The display screen of the instrument showed the same blurry outline of an underwater city as the detection results of previous detectors. However, due to the failure of the night vision equipment, it was impossible to see clearly.

They should start entering this underwater city now, right?

Xilin didn't care about the instrument data they were studying, nor did he look at the other equipment loaded on the aircraft. Instead, he paid attention to the gray cat's ears. This guy's ears were much more useful than Long's instruments.

The gray cat lay on Xi Ying's body with his eyes closed. His tail swung slowly, and his two raised ears moved slightly. Suddenly, the gray cat's ears twitched and he opened his eyes. He raised his paw and patted Xi Ying and looked.

Xiang Xilin, "We're here!"

The few people in Long who were staring at the screen looked up at the gray cat and were about to ask questions. Suddenly, all the lighting equipment inside the aircraft went out, and the analytical instruments and so on completely stopped working.

Long took out the backup lighting, which was not electric lighting but natural fluorescent stone. Although it was not as good as the lighting system, it could still make the inside of the aircraft brighter.

"Master, the thrusters have stopped, all equipment cannot be started, and now the aircraft is falling!" Pascaldo said.

Bang! Bang!

After a while of shaking, the aircraft stopped.

"Reaching the seabed."

"Young Master, what should I do?"

Long looked at the instrument in his hand. The instrument specially made by the Andrela family for "Sea Paradise" was basically paralyzed. Now they can only rely on themselves.

"Let's go out and take a look." Long said.

There is no use in staying in the aircraft. The aircraft cannot start. If you carry it here, you can only wait to die. Maybe some overlords from the bottom of the sea will come and step on you. Then you will die without knowing what is stepping on you.

"Young Master, it's pitch dark outside now, and you can't easily bring out the light. You know, there are many... big things on the seabed." A subordinate said.

"You can't get out of here conservatively, you can only take risks. Let's go."

With that said, Long walked to the buffer cabin and put on protective clothing.

Several other people also checked their protective clothing and equipment. After getting ready, Yingwei blocked Long and stood in front.

When the hatch was opened, sea water poured in, and the balancing pressure inside the aircraft was lost. Even if you were wearing pressure-resistant protective clothing, you could clearly feel an obvious pressure.

The first communicator in the protective suit has also stopped working, and the effective range of the second communicator that can withstand interference is only one hundred meters. Therefore, they cannot be too far apart.

The gray cat swung its four fat legs, wandering around the Xilin as if floating.

"The perception is weakened," the gray cat said. But even if its perception is weakened, it is still stronger than Long's equipment.

Long took out a barrel-shaped object and pointed it diagonally upward.

Bang bang bang!

After several sounds in succession, two "lights" emerged from the sea water above. They were all fluorescent balls, but they were wrapped in a shell that allowed them to float there.

Thanks to the illumination of these fluorescent balls, several people could clearly see the surrounding scene. Although the light seemed insignificant on such a seabed, their eyesight was enough to capture the nearby scenes.

In front of a few people, a huge mouth full of sharp teeth appeared. Xilin and the others might not be as big as one tooth in this big mouth if they were stacked together.

Its appearance frightened several people. The fur on the gray cat's back exploded, and it almost transformed.

However, they soon discovered that the mouth was stationary and was trapped by something.

Moving your eyes to the side, you can see the owner of this big mouth.

There is no doubt that this is a giant beast living under the sea.

The huge head, the huge body submerged in the darkness, and the luster reflected by some crystals made everything extremely weird.

The so-called "high-rise buildings" in the undersea city that Xilin and the others always thought were actually mountains of transparent crystal.

No, exactly. These are all specimens.

Specimens of sea beasts.

Those mountain-like crystals only sealed these sea beasts inside, sealing up the living side of these deep-sea behemoths.

In addition to the giant beast crystal specimen in front of us, there are also specimens of other types of giant beasts around. The giant beasts sealed in the crystal are lying on their sides like this giant beast, some are standing, and some are crawling.

.

Xilin and his party stood here. They felt as if they were as small as a speck of dust. The crystal that sealed those giant beasts reflected the faint shadows of Xilin and the others, which overlapped with the giant beasts inside the crystal, making everything more interesting.

A terrifying chill.

How was such a huge crystal mountain and sea animal specimen made?

Xi family?

Xiying, who was not wearing protective clothing, stretched out his hand and touched the crystals. After feeling it, he said: "These crystals have existed for a thousand years."

A thousand years?

Long and others were speechless.

Who was able to seal these undersea behemoths in crystals in such a harsh environment thousands of years ago?

Xilin observed the giant beasts from thousands of years ago sealed in the crystal. The creatures in the crystal were lifelike. They were slightly different from the few recorded sea beasts. It was obvious that they should have been the same species thousands of years ago.

But thousands of years later, the original species mutated, and its appearance changed slightly, resulting in a contrast between the two. This is also the influence of the special environmental factors of "Haitian". The mutation rate of sea beasts living in Sea Paradise is very high.

Thousands of years have been able to bring about many changes in many populations.

"Master, what should we do next?" Pascaldo asked.

Long thought for a moment and took out the star map. The light of the key appeared and pointed to one place.

When Long took out this star map, Yingwei, who was originally in a state of high tension because of the giant beast crystal specimens in front of him, was breathing heavily.

Tears of God!

Really the tears of God!

No wonder the eldest son behaved so abnormally later. No wonder the eldest son did not act according to the prior arrangements. It turned out that he had the star map of "Tears of God" in his hand!

Ying Weiji looked at Xilin, and he was convinced that the other star map fragment was given to Long by Xilin.

Unexpectedly, a small captain of a hunter group would actually have a star map. The most important thing is that he was willing to take out the star map fragments!

Not only the English Wiki recognized the star map, but several other people also knew about the Orilo star map. After all, they were all people who were with Long or Fox, so they would naturally have some exposure to some secrets.

The hearts that were originally unsteady because of these giant beast crystal specimens quickly calmed down. For the sake of "Tears of God", even if they are all here this time, they must help the young master find "Tears of God"!

"Let's go." Long pointed to the direction indicated by the star map and walked away.

Xilin took two steps and saw that the gray cat didn't follow. He turned around and saw that the guy was grabbing the crystal that sealed the giant beast and was about to bite. Xilin twitched the corner of his mouth and raised his hand to twist the hair on the back of the gray cat's neck.

Twist it over.

"You won't even let go of sea beasts that have been dead for thousands of years?" Xilin let go of his hand, patted the gray cat on the head, and signaled the gray cat to follow him honestly.

The group of people walked among these crystal specimen mountains for nearly an hour, but found no other underwater giants, no living underwater giants, and none in the surrounding area. However, the detectors sent earlier did find two.

"Aren't those big guys around here?" Pascaldo looked around and said.

As soon as Pascardo said these words, the person next to him slapped him on the head hard, "Do you hope to meet one?"

Pascaldo shook his head, "I don't even want to die!"

The group of people continued to walk forward in the direction indicated by the star map, and came to a raised hill. This hill was not a spar mountain, but more like a bulge in the seabed crust.

The star map indicated this hill. Several people walked around the hill and found a closed door at one place.

Long approached with the star map, and as he got closer, the key on the star map became brighter and brighter.

Click——

The door opened.

The key on the star map is the key to opening this door.

There should be a large empty area inside the door. After it was opened, seawater poured in. Xilin and Yingwei grabbed Long who was almost sucked in. After the seawater finally subsided, they walked in.

Under the illumination of the fluorescent stone, the empty area inside the door was also revealed. There was nothing abnormal. There was nothing else in the three hundred square meters of space.

Click——

After a few people entered the door, the door automatically closed again.

The strange thing is that after the door is closed, the sea water in this space is gradually withdrawn. A circular opening opens in the middle area of ​​the space, and there are stairs extending from the ground to the top, with Xilin and the others on the ceiling above.

The openings are connected to each other.

Ying Wei took the lead and stepped onto the stairs first, followed by several others.

After Inviki entered the second-level space, the built-in lighting equipment was turned on to display the scene in the second-level space.

On the walls of this space, Xilin saw some murals, which were the handwritings of the generation of Xi's family thousands of years ago.
