Under the sea, a figure swam forward quickly like an arrow from a string.
This is the first time that Feng Yi has truly stayed away from human life and taken a dip in the sea.
The last starfish incident was actually not too far from land. After all, the area where starfish gathered at that time was not in the deep sea.
Only when you are truly far away from the land can you feel the vastness of the ocean.
No matter how big the boat is, it is just a leaf in the sea.
Feel the changes in ocean currents and the exchange of information in the sea water.
Ocean currents are equivalent to highways under the sea, bringing food and life and attracting more predatory creatures.
Feng Yi also saw some cute sea creatures, but he was in no mood to say hello.
Following the guidance of instinct, he continued to search for the goal of his trip.
In his perception, there is a special magnetic field center deep in the ocean, and his instinct is to judge the route based on this special magnetic field.
Apart from necessary ventilation along the way, Feng Yi did not go out of the sea, and he tried to reduce the risk of exposure as much as possible while rushing.
I don’t know how long I swam and crossed several time zones. The light on the sea became darker and darker.
However, light has no effect on him. In seawater, he relies on his perception and instinctive recognition of magnetic fields.
Finally...it's here!
Approaching the destination, Feng Yi discerned the special magnetic field.
Yes, it’s here!
Judging by instinct, my aunt came to this place before she died!
It's just that there doesn't seem to be anything special here.
No signs of human activity were detected in this area, and no ships were found sailing. Feng Yi was ready to surface and take a look.
However, will it be unlucky to be recognized by the satellite?
How to do things under the nose of satellites?
Or block it.
Sensing the energy substances floating in the sky, Feng Yi controlled them to become active.
He does not directly control the clouds in the sky, but mobilizes energy substances distributed in the sky and uses their power to promote changes in airflow and clouds.
In other words, without the existence of those energy substances, he cannot change the clouds in the sky.
As long as those energy substances exist, as long as he can sense and control them, he can make the air currents and clouds there move even if they are thousands of miles away.
But we don’t have that ability yet.
An energy field was quickly formed between the sky and the sea.
A large amount of seawater evaporates from the ocean, forming clouds in the sky. Clouds in the distance also gather here.
The small animals living in the sea seemed to have noticed something and stayed away one after another.
Not long after, large clouds appeared above the sea.
Feng Yi emerged from the water and felt it carefully.
If the instinct is right, there should be something here.
What exactly is it?
Looking across the vast sea, I couldn't see the target at all.
Could it be in the water?
Just when he thought this, Feng Yi's eyebrows twitched, he dived into the water and looked towards the bottom of the sea.
There are changes at the bottom of the sea!
Ultra-low frequency sound signals are transmitted from the deep sea.
Directly below, there is something floating up from the bottom of the sea.
Feng Yi did not leave, but waited quietly. The instinctive message told him that this was it!
The huge black shadow got closer and closer, until it lifted Feng Yi out of the water and surfaced.
Feng Yi looked at this giant thing emerging from the bottom of the sea.
It's not a magical creature, but an island made of rocks.
It’s here!
It is the center of the magnetic field, the final destination of his trip!
Instinctively, I found the right way!
Feng Yi patted the rock beneath him with his tail.
The hardness of the rock is very good, even better than the stone trail at his house that is specially used for skin grinding!
It is indeed a stone, not some other metal, but I can't tell what kind of rock it is.
Since it is a rock, why can it suddenly float from the bottom of the sea to the surface?
What is the principle?
Feng Yi thought about it and stopped worrying. Now is not the time to analyze this.
After staying at the bottom of the sea for a long time, the entire rock island has a layer of dark attachments on its surface, and the original color of the rock can no longer be seen in most areas.
And as this rocky island emerged from the sea, Feng Yi seemed to have suddenly turned on some switch. The energy in his body was ready to move, and every cell became active.
But Feng Yi was not worried.
I'm familiar with this!
This feeling was similar to when he shed his skin on the day of the Waking of Insects, but this time there was no warning and it only appeared suddenly after the stone island floated up.
Similar, but not the same.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, just leave it to instinct!
Rumble——
Storm clouds accumulate in the sky, cover dozens of kilometers in a short time, and begin to release energy.
The dull rolling thunder sounded like something huge was trampling back and forth in the storm clouds.
Lightning tore across the sky crazily, like a swarm of snakes attacking in all directions.
The wind is howling and the waves are rolling!
The wind became fierce.
A large amount of fog appeared on the sea surface, and visibility decreased rapidly.
Strong winds cut through the sea surface and stirred up fine water droplets.
Each molt is accompanied by the synthesis and release of energy, which will trigger some meteorological phenomena.
This time, although it was not a molt, it was a critical point in growth and caused drastic weather changes.
On the rocky island.
Feng Yi is also undergoing changes.
When Jingzhe shed her skin, except for her hands, only lines appeared on her torso and arms, but now, thin but hard scales are growing layer by layer, covering her arms from her torso to each finger.
The specialized bone claws were like steel knives unsheathed, glowing coldly.
Driven by abundant energy, it feels like finally eating a full meal, warm and satisfying.
At the same time, a memory that was silent in the DNA was gradually activated.
Passed down by our ancestors.
From this memory, Feng Yi learned a lot of important information.
For example, how to control breath more accurately, how to release the correct information chemicals, how to mobilize more active factors, etc.
I also learned the function of this rocky island.
This rocky island is more like an alternative nest. It can provide a special magnetic field to guide the direction and help gather energy materials to promote growth and evolution.
It usually sinks on the bottom of the sea, but when it senses changes in energy, it will "activate" and float up from the bottom of the sea.
The energy matter floating around the world will gather here as if it feels magnetic attraction.
Their race's powerful body is a huge energy body.
Death is a process of energy release.
Also released at the same time are those energy substances, which will change from the combined state to the free state and float in the air.
When an elderly individual dies, he comes to this rocky island. As the body dies, the energy supporting the body is released. Those energy substances are centered around this, spreading towards the surroundings, floating above the clouds, quietly waiting for the next successor.
The arrival of
When the young successors come here, they will absorb these energy substances as "nutrients" for growth.
This is a material cycle.
In addition, Feng Yi also understood why only one race like theirs can exist now, not two or more at the same time. Even if there are, they will die soon.
Because there is insufficient energy!
Those energy substances can promote further mutation and growth of the body.
Every time Feng Yi reaches a stage of growth, he has to shed his skin, just like those cultivators in legendary fantasy stories who go through heavenly tribulations. Every time he reaches a stage, he has to go through a tribulation.
His kind is also equivalent to another kind of tribulation.
If you shed your skin successfully, you will grow stronger and live longer.
If the molt fails, or if something goes wrong, the body will be greatly damaged.
It’s not obvious now, but the further you go, the more energy and matter will be needed to survive this kind of “tribulation”.
A long time ago, there was plenty of energy and matter in the air.
Ancestors can live a long time, and many such individuals can exist at the same time.
At that time, the energy material on the planet could feed so many people, allowing them to successfully survive one tribulation after another and live longer.
200 years? 500 years? Maybe longer.
Our ancestors traveled around the world, leaving behind various myths, legends, or horror stories.
However, tens of millions of years have passed, and energy and matter have been reduced to the point where only one can be fed at the same time.
And individual growth will also be limited. The further you go, the more energy and materials are needed. When the energy and materials needed for evolution cannot be supported and cannot survive the next calamity and enter the next stage of growth, you will face the "end is approaching"
” situation.
My aunt is like this.
It may be that they are only in the young adulthood of this race, but due to insufficient energy, they cannot survive the next "tribulation" and can only face the end.
The ancestors noticed the decrease of energy and matter, and looked for a way to solve the problem from generation to generation, and indeed they found something——
The increase or decrease of this energy substance is related to the planet itself.
The growth of their race does consume some energy substances, but most of them are released when they die. Compared with the overall situation, it will not lead to such a result.
Only the planet itself can cause such changes.
Our ancestors viewed the planet as another level of life.
Every time a major change occurs on the planet, it will be accompanied by a sudden increase or decrease in energy and matter.
Changes in the planet affect all life living on it.
Thinking of this, Feng Yi suspected that the abnormal climate period more than 20 years ago may have caused a large part of those energy substances to disappear, which is why my aunt faced her end so early.
Mr. Feng, who was born with the same child as her, is still alive and well!
This also means that Feng Yi himself may not live as long as his aunt!
And since him, other successors have also had shorter lifespans with each generation.
Feng Yi is in a complicated mood now.
It's like, after just eating a full meal, you know that you will face famine in the future.
Feng Yi lay on the rocky island and meditated.
The remaining anxiety left in the DNA of our ancestors affected Feng Yi.
He picked at the stone with his claws a little anxiously.
The dark attachments on the rocks kept falling off.
In fact, if an ordinary person can maintain the physique of a young adult and live until the age of seventy or eighty, there will be no regrets.
However, the message conveyed by his ancestral DNA is like the earnest teachings of his ancestors:
[Baby, work hard! Maybe you can live five hundred years?!!]
But, there are so many powerful seniors who can’t do anything, what can I do?
"Based on my brain, it's very likely that I won't be able to find a solution until the end of my life."
Feng Yi knew very well that he was not that smart person.
If the brain is not good, then... what about instinct?
Feng Yi thought.
He continued to click stones silently, his long tail swaying restlessly.
After a while, a "bald" piece appeared on the rocky island.
Looking at the bald rock face, Feng Yi let out a long sigh.
After thinking to no avail, he watched the thunderstorm clouds in the sky weaken.
"never mind."
If there are no negative changes, he still has decades to live.
After taking a look at the sky blocked by clouds, Feng Yi jumped into the sea.
I'm hungry, go back and eat.
Think of a solution when you're full.
It is impossible to lie down flat. Maybe when doing the task of the Joint Security Bureau, we should collect more information?
Don't worry about the rocky island floating on the sea, it will sink by itself.
This rocky island changes position with ocean currents or seafloor activity.
It is always moving.
Of course, if there is no violent activity on the sea floor, it usually does not move that fast.
It has been less than two years since my aunt passed away, and its position has not shifted much.
After Feng Yi swam a long distance, he heard the low-frequency sound again.
This is a sign of sinking.
Feng Yi remembered that he had read an essay a long time ago, saying that it was rumored that there was a ghost island in the distant sea, which would mysteriously appear and then disappear mysteriously. No one could keep track of it.
