under the sea

The shock state caused by the lack of oxygen is gradually relieved with the supplement of oxygen bit by bit.

He Zexi gradually came to his senses, but his eyelids were still heavy, as if he was pressed hard by something, and it became very difficult to open his eyes.I remembered the feeling of falling into the sea before, and the feeling of darkness, pain, and suffocation flooded my heart again.

He Zexi couldn't help taking a deep breath, perhaps because of being drowned for too long, the body organs still had the feeling of the previous stage, and He Zexi felt as if he had inhaled thick seawater in his nose, It also has a bit of a salty taste.

Although the feeling is still difficult, but compared to the previous feeling of suffocation that he never wanted to experience again, it has made him almost shed tears of happiness. He Zexi thought vaguely in his mind: Great, we are saved. ...

Gradually regaining consciousness, He Zexi struggled to open his eyes. After seeing the scene in front of him clearly, He Zexi's pupils dilated instantly, and he felt his hands and feet feel cold for a moment.

The imaginary ceiling and white sheets did not appear, and the picture displayed in front of his eyes frightened him for the first time. After recovering, He Zexi couldn't help exclaiming in his heart:

It's incredible...

Have you ever seen the super abyss with your own eyes?

What does the deep-sea super-abyssal zone look like in your imagination?

The super abyss, whose name contains the meaning of death, is it dark, dark and bitingly cold?Strong hydrostatic pressure envelops the deep-sea clay eroded by seawater and some ancient seabed sediments, lifeless but full of danger?

No, neither.

These stereotypes are remnants of the most superficial appearance of the deep sea in most people's minds.The real super abyss under the sea is silent but never calm, full of murderous intent but never lifeless.On the contrary, it can even be said that behind the confusing super-abyss appearance of the deep sea, there are life forms that are more tenacious than anywhere else in the world, just as He Zexi sees now——

His eyes are gradually adapting to the dark environment on the bottom of the sea, but he still can't see any light, not only the blue light on the bottom of the sea, but even the faint purple light is completely absorbed by the sea water - this is enough to explain his current position, at least It is located in a deep-sea ravine below 6000 meters below the deep sea.

Near the ancient sediments, there are some protozoa that have migrated for hundreds of millions of years and have not evolved. Many amphipods, polychaetes, and benthic organisms live in the cold and extremely high-salinity deep sea.There are also strange and brightly colored deep-sea fish walking around the highly poisonous sea anemones, with huge mouths and sharp teeth, which look a little hideous, and there is even a fish with a flat back and a row of poisonous thorns at the base of the tail. Giant deep sea anglerfish.

It is about 1.8 meters long, and it is wandering near the sea anemone not far from He Zexi. The upper and lower jaws are slightly open, and the two rows of sharp teeth look like rusty sharp nails.

Seeing the anglerfish that was bigger than him, He Zexi immediately held his breath and didn't dare to move.This kind of fish has the title of "undersea devil". What makes people frightened is not only the hideous and terrifying appearance of anglerfish, but also its fierce and aggressive habits.

If he was after him, He Zexi felt that the chance of him surviving was very small.Even if he escaped by chance, he would still attract even bigger deep-sea predators if he was injured and exuded the smell of blood.

"Wow————" The huge body inevitably made a burst of water sound when swimming.The look of shaking his head and tail looks arrogant and arrogant.

The next moment, He Zexi couldn't help but gasped, it was swimming towards him.

"Whoa whoa-"

The sound of the water flowing in his ears was getting louder, and the anglerfish was getting closer and closer to He Zexi's half-lying position.

Run, run—run!

He Zexi heard a voice yelling in his mind, but before he could make a move, the anglerfish rushed towards He Zexi like lightning, and He Zexi felt his whole body go stiff...

"Crash-"

There was a fierce splash, followed by a violent struggle.After half a minute, the deep sea returned to calm, leaving only strings of water bubbles floating out from the bottom of the sea to make the sound of "gurgling", and then continue to rise, rise...

A strong current passed over He Zexi's head, dragging a long translucent trace and quickly returning to its original state.He Zexi turned his head in shock.

Behind him, the huge bigmouth anglerfish is leisurely swallowing a giant deep-sea fish that is one-third larger than his body. The body of the fish is already scarred under the bite of sharp rodents. , was bleeding bright red blood, and then quickly dissolved in the sea water and disappeared.It was still making the last resistance, but it stopped struggling very quickly, except for the whip-like tail twitching from time to time-it looked like the last flashback of human beings before dying.

Watching the anglerfish eating, He Zexi couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief... Everything that happened just now was in the blink of an eye, and it was so exciting that people would not be able to recover for a while.

The fish was lurking behind him just now, but somehow the anglerfish spotted it.Fortunately, there was a prey that was much bigger than itself, and the anglerfish chose a better one, otherwise it might be itself that entered its mouth.

He Zexi didn't dare to breathe until the anglerfish left.

Because of what happened just now, all creatures in this small area were scared away. Except for some echinoderms and similar slow-moving marine creatures, there were no other large animals. The departure of carnivores also formed a relatively Get out of the safe area.

It wasn't until then that He Zexi calmed down and had the extra energy to focus on his own situation.

There was no injury, no bruises from the bump, and even the research uniform on his body was intact without a trace of damage.Except for the edema and wrinkling of the skin caused by being soaked in seawater for a long time, there is no problem at all.

But just like this, it is even more unreasonable—and his eyesight is abnormally good under the dark, dim, dark seabed.

He Zexi took a visual inspection. Even if there was no light, he could still see things ten meters away. Although it was not as good as his vision on land, it was already incredible.In addition, he can even breathe freely like a fish on the bottom of the sea-this is too unreasonable, and unreasonable means that there is a problem, at least for him, a human being.

At this moment, an obvious fact was placed in front of He Zexi, that is - there was a problem with his body.

Thinking of this, He Zexi's heart sank. Something was wrong, he seemed to have forgotten something.

Research institutes, going to sea, Kocha, ocean storms, shipwrecks, unknown unknown creatures... yes!An unknown creature resembling an octopus.Very huge, able to communicate thoughts without using language function, and then he was sucked into the sea...

He Zexi finally remembered, he remembered that after he drowned, the huge creature bit him with its teeth.

He touched his neck subconsciously, but he didn't feel anything, and he couldn't touch the wound, as if the pain he felt when he was bitten before was entirely He Zexi's illusion.

But He Zexi intuitively guessed that it must be the reason for that bite, otherwise there would be no way to explain what happened to him.Is that huge unknown creature really the "god" that the professor spent his whole life looking for?

He Zexi raised his eyes and looked around, but he didn't see the shadow of that thing. He couldn't help feeling a little strange in his heart. If his memory wasn't confused, he remembered that he should have brought him to this deep sea super abyss. Logically speaking, It should be around here too.

But I raised my eyes and looked around for a few times, but there was no trace of that thing—there was no place for it to hide such a big thing.

When He Zexi saw it for the first time, because of the dark sky and the storm, he couldn't recognize its true face. He could only confirm that it should belong to the Dibranch subclass.

He Zexi recalled all the relevant memories about that thing from the beginning, and realized that his previous suspicion that the thing was an octopus was actually inaccurate.The octopus belongs to the order of the Octopus, and it is lazy and likes to crawl. He Zexi clearly saw the huge creature more than 20 meters long moving forward in the sea at lightning speed.And in the way of jumping, it is more accurate to say that the giant sea monster is not an "octopus" but a squid or squid.

Anyway, he needs to figure out a way to get back first.The professor should be very happy to bring back some precious deep-sea research materials.

After taking a look at these slow-moving seabed protists and deep-sea sediments, He Zexi saw his sampling knife lying quietly on a piece of maroon clay not far from him—a pleasant surprise.

This knife was a gift from his professor when he first entered the field at the age of 20, and it has a profound meaning.The handle of the knife is made of warm marble, on which four block letters are clearly engraved—Truth comes first.

He Zexi stood up, the buoyancy in the sea water was very strong, the gravity lost its effect here, and became almost negligible, but at the same time, the increase in hydrostatic pressure made He Zexi's movements slow and difficult .

However, just as he stood up, a beautiful little thing suddenly fell from him.

It fell to the ground and spit out a ball of ink.
