Chu Zihang hesitated for a second, then shook his head firmly: "No."
Lu Mingfei and Old Tang looked at Chu Zihang at the same time. Old Tang still looked depressed.
"Although I don't know exactly what this octopus is doing, if we go down hastily, we might encounter danger," Chu Zihang explained. "We can guess where this octopus is taking us based on its trajectory."
Chu Zihang also subconsciously regarded this octopus as a leader.
Something somewhere told him that he should follow the octopus.
But what is the basis for a mere induction?
He turned on the computer screen at hand, "If it is really leading us, then let's see where it takes us."
Lu Mingfei leaned over and stared at the winding line on the screen. The line extended straight to the deepest part of the abyss.
"Wait a minute, do you think this line is a bit strange?" Lu Mingfei said suddenly.
"What's strange?" Old Tang asked.
"It just made a half circle here, but it went back again." Lu Mingfei pointed to the end of the line and said, "This is a straight line. If you want to go around here, you must cross the entire canyon. If it really
They are helping us lead the way, why do we have to go back to the starting point?"
"Do you suspect that this octopus is cheating?" Old Tang narrowed his eyes.
"Who can guarantee that?" Lu Mingfei said calmly, "What if it is just playing? After all, can you expect an ordinary octopus to lead the way?"
As he spoke, he stared at Old Tang with strange eyes.
Old Tang: "..."
I always feel like this little bastard Lu Mingfei is mocking his IQ.
However, at this moment, the black Dumbo octopus came back to the observation window angrily and knocked hard on the glass window.
Then the two tentacles were placed on the waist, showing an angry look.
It seems to be asking why the three people in the diving cabin followed together?
"..." Lu Mingfei fell silent.
From the looks of it, does this octopus really want to lead them?
Moreover, this octopus is actually very spiritual, with the light of wisdom shining in its eyes.
"Sure enough, we should still follow!" Old Tang shouted, "It's just a small octopus, what danger can it pose? Our fighting power here can even kill the Dragon King! Isn't there a dragon-slaying hero like you here?
Are you there?"
Lu Mingfei was speechless.
His record of killing the King of Earth and Mountain was just water!
...By the way, how did he kill the Lord of Earth and Fire?
If he remembered correctly, the King of the Earth and Mountains should be Sherlock Moriarty, the mastermind behind some major events in mankind that has been silently controlling it, right?
After the dragon king led them there... then they had a fierce struggle.
In the end, he remembered that he seemed to have killed the opponent with the power of the little devil...
This dragon-slaying hero is really just a paddler!
But as for the little devil, he couldn't tell Old Tang, so he could only keep the secret depressed.
In fact, Old Tang also knew that Lu Mingfei's record was watery.
The real king of earth and mountains hidden among humans should be Xia Mi.
His nominal sister had already devoured her brother when they passed by and evolved into Hela.
The one Lu Mingfei killed was just a false body.
The real source of his confidence is his own strength.
Old Tang patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder: "Don't worry, as my younger brother, if you are really in danger, I will try my best to take care of you! Make sure your life is safe!"
"Go, go, go! Who is your little brother!" Lu Mingfei slapped away Old Tang's hand with a black look on his face, "Also at this time, can you not say some depressing words? I'm not sure if there is anyone here.
It’s dangerous.”
Chu Zihang looked at the black octopus quietly. The little octopus waved its tentacles towards Chu Zihang, looking as cute as jelly.
"Anyway, let's follow them first. If we are really leading the way, we will think of a solution after we reach the end." Chu Zi made the decision on the air board.
Chu Zihang finally chose to follow the octopus.
The other people didn't have much objection.
They continued to follow this line down the river. They saw many strange creatures along the way. These creatures looked very strange, and some were even very ugly. Of course, Lu Mingfei couldn't understand it, and maybe Chu Mingfei couldn't understand it.
Zihang has done some research in this area.
"Why are there so many marine creatures here? Logically speaking, shouldn't this be the territory of ancient dragons? Are they here to be eaten by the dragons?" Lu Mingfei asked doubtfully.
"Maybe, these fish look delicious, and they are all natural and wild." Old Tang commented on the side.
"...Brother, we are in a dragon's lair, can you please be more serious?" Lu Mingfei complained helplessly.
"Okay, okay, no more joking." Old Tang's expression became serious, "It should be that the embryo here released the pheromones that lured these fish schools, attracting these fish schools to use as food reserves."
"Look, there are many differences between the marine life outside and ordinary marine life. Each of them has dragon genes." Old Tang said while pointing not far away.
cruel scene.
A slender black shadow swam in the sunset-colored sea water, its long tail swinging slowly. It moved leisurely, but everyone could see that it could explode at an astonishing speed at any time, rushing towards the target like a torpedo. That was
A giant hammerhead shark, this shark's head is like a flat shovel, with an eye on each side, and the distance between the two eyes is 2 meters.
In addition, leaning against the side of the submarine, a huge, blue ice ball-like eye appeared. In the sea water next to it, arms and legs as thick as a bucket danced lightly, and they were covered with suckers half a meter in diameter. This was an overlord.
squid.
After the two giant creatures met, the entire sea area was stirred by these two giant creatures.
In the depths of the sunset-colored sea, huge predators are entangled with each other and twisting wildly.
The overlord squid wrapped around the hammerhead shark's body with ten giant snake-like arms and legs, and the hammerhead shark's sharp teeth sank into the overlord squid's head. The bright red blood of the hammerhead shark mixed with the blue blood of the overlord squid and filled the air.
Come on.
The suction-cup-equipped arms of the squid continued to tear the skin of the hammerhead shark, and the hammerhead shark bit off half of the head of the squid, taking away one of its eyes and one of its arms.
But at the next moment, the arm of the overlord squid was pulled out from under the hammerhead shark's head, along with two streaks of bright red blood smoke.
It pulled out all the gills of the shark! The hammerhead shark, which had been furious just now, immediately lost its strength, twitched violently for half a minute, then slowly turned over and floated belly up in the sea water.
During its final struggle, the overlord squid still did not relax its vigilance, constantly tearing its skin and embedding the suction cups into the muscle tissue. At this time, the victory or defeat was determined, and the overlord squid released its arms and legs, and it surrounded the dying hammer.
The head shark swam in a circle, blew out a stream of black smoke, and disappeared at the end of the field of vision.
"This..." Lu Mingfei was extremely surprised, "You mean, such terrifying squids and sharks all carry dragon genes?!"
No wonder it's so scary... No wonder they can adapt to the extreme environment here."
"That embryo should be in the polar abyss below, and it is an extremely powerful ancient species. During the incubation process, it continuously releases secretions rich in genetic information. The secretions attract various marine creatures, and then rewrite the
Their genes differentiate them into dragon subspecies," Old Tang said.
In fact, he can achieve this level of change very easily. After all, he is also a dragon king who reigns at the pinnacle of dragons.
But it's weird...
Because dragons usually have nothing to do, they use substances secreted by embryos to affect surrounding species.
It seems that this place is indeed a bit strange. The dragon embryos here should not be simple things.
While thinking about this, Old Tang looked at the Overlord Squid leaving triumphantly outside, and his thoughts couldn't help but wander.
The fish must be delicious.
Old Tang looked at the shark carcass left outside the venue again.
He could feel that there were still some eager predators near the water. It was probably because there had been too much movement just now, and the smell of blood left behind attracted those subspecies.
But it doesn't matter, this shark and the big octopus have been marked by him, and they are already the Dragon King's property.
Let the dragon attendant come over and take care of these two later.
"Is it possible that this cute little octopus is the same?" Lu Mingfei pointed to the Dumbo octopus leading the way in surprise, "Is it possible that it can also grow to that super large size? Just like the overlord octopus.
?”
The battle between the giant creatures just now did not seem to affect the path forward of this little octopus.
"Probably not." Chu Zihang said in a deep voice, "If I guess correctly, the direction of this octopus's mutation should be in terms of intelligence, and it will not grow to the size of the overlord octopus and shark."
"But it's certain," Chu Zihang said, "We have entered the territory of that ancient dragon. This octopus is here to guide us here."
"Is it possible that this octopus with thick eyebrows and big eyes wants to give us four fat, tender and cute humans to his master for extra meals?" Lu Mingfei was shocked.
"I don't think any dragon would be interested in a human being inside an iron shell." Old Tang complained.
"But you're not a dragon, how do you know?" Lu Mingfei said.
"..." Old Tang.
Believe it or not, I will turn into a dragon king and bite you on the spot!
Don’t blame him if you’re scared to death by then!
Chu Zihang ignored the two live treasures and expressed his own opinion: "It's strange. As far as we know, dragons like to choose hatcheries for embryos far away from humans and other creatures. They don't need to keep these fish.
If they are attracted by swarms as food, they will not easily release secretions carrying genetic information."
"In history, there are only examples of evolution after being exposed to the blood of ancient dragons. A large number of dragon subspecies were born due to the influence of embryonic secretions. This is difficult to understand."
Old Tang nodded in agreement.
That's right, no dragon would be free to secrete these messy things.
It seems that mixed-race people still know a little bit about them.
As expected of the race that aims to slay dragons.
Although they were interrupted by two giant octopuses along the way, they continued to move forward with the little octopus.
They came to a strange place.
The rock formations below seemed to have been split open by an unparalleled giant weapon, leaving scars thousands of miles long and flowing out golden blood. Lu Mingfei's ears were filled with the dull sound of explosions, and the magma river was like a giant sword.
It is quenched in sea water but does not boil.
"I seemed to hear thunder." Lu Mingfei said.
"It's the sound of seawater vaporizing." Chu Zihang said, "In this ultra-high-pressure polar abyss, the boiling point of seawater will exceed 500 degrees. When magma comes into contact with seawater, seawater vaporizes, and the thunder you hear is caused by the vaporization of seawater.
Steam explosion. But after the water vapor cooled down slightly, it was reduced to a liquid by high pressure, and the bubbles did not even have time to leave the magma surface."
The seafloor fissure below looked like a burning abyss, and the Dirieste passing above it looked like a midge illuminated by flames.
This abyss reminded Lu Mingfei of the Golden Lunga Gap in Nordic mythology. Before the world was created, there was no sky and no earth. The space was filled with thick fog. The Golden Lunga Gap lay across the thick fog. On one side of it was fire.
On one side of the country is the country of fog. Between the flames and the cold, Ymir, the ancestor of the frost giants, and the huge cow Odembula were born. Odembula licked the ice, snow and salt to survive, and Ymir ate it.
of milk alive.
Lu Mingfei looked down at the long river of lava. The boundary between the golden magma and the black sea water was extremely clear. Dark red shrimps were swimming near the lava, and some dark purple creatures were symbiotic with the shrimps.
The temperature here has been unimaginably high, far beyond what humans can bear.
But these creatures can still live on the seabed. Life is indeed a miracle.
Lu Mingfei raised his head again and looked at the little black octopus leading the way outside.
Perhaps noticing Lu Mingfei's gaze, the little octopus actually turned its head, its dark round eyes met Lu Mingfei's, and the little octopus actually nodded towards Lu Mingfei in a very humane manner.
Sure enough, he has a very high IQ, Lu Mingfei sighed with emotion.
Then, Lu Mingfei made a face at the little octopus, bared his teeth and claws, pulled his eyelids with two fingers, and then squeezed his face with his whole palm, making a very funny and ferocious look.
This feeling is like even if you know that the child next door has a high IQ and is very precocious, you still want to tease him every time you see him.
Lu Mingfei had this mentality.
Little black octopus: "..."
Suddenly, I no longer wanted to lead them.
Lu Mingfei: "..."
He seemed to see contempt in those two pairs of black bean-like eyes.
