"What to do, what to do? Think of a way quickly!" Ling Hao was like a child surrounded by wasps. Shui Lingxing couldn't help but laugh. She gently raised a hand, and the ball was even bigger.
A dazzling blue cold light appeared on her palm, and then she threw it down, and the light ball fell into the depths of the pool like a free fall. The razor squids swarmed away with the light ball like dogs chasing the ball.
, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Ling Hao then breathed a sigh of relief and said to Shui Lingxing: "Thank you, it's good to have you."
Shui Lingxing glanced at him with a playful smile: "Now that you know me, have you finally realized that every time you are on the line between life and death, I am the only woman who always stands next to you?"
"Well, you are a mermaid. Strictly speaking, you are not a woman, right?" Ling Hao turned on the brain twitch mode.
Shui Lingxing gave him a fierce look and said: "Being a woman does not depend on the outside, but on the heart!" After saying that, he took the lead and continued to dive down.
Ling Hao shuddered and hurried to follow, muttering in his mind: "This argument is quite avant-garde. What does Shui Lingxing read online every day?"
The water depth dropped to about 100 meters. Ling Hao saw many light spots flickering and swaying like stars in the sky. When he got closer, he discovered that there was a large group of very ordinary "moon jellyfish". All of them
The "Razor Squids" were all captured by these "Moon Jellyfish", and each one was in a state of paralysis. Even the tentacles full of razor-sharp barbs could not move. They could only watch themselves being swallowed up bit by bit by the "Moon Jellyfish".
Enter the belly.
Ling Hao was stunned. Nature is indeed magical. As the saying goes, one thing defeats another. Unexpectedly, the terrifying "razor squid" was unable to fight back in front of the seemingly harmless "moon jellyfish", and it fell in the blink of an eye.
The whole army would end up being annihilated.
The two of them slowly dived along the wall of the pool, waving their hands away from the swarms of "moon jellyfish" as easily as they waved away fallen leaves floating on the water.
Continuing downward, when reaching a depth of about 130 meters, there are fewer and fewer jellyfish, and the big-eyed fish Tu Yao mentioned appears. This kind of fish is covered in brownish red, has a streamlined body, and swims very fast.
One big eye occupies almost one-third of the head area, reflecting pale light under the light of the diving light, like a ghost under the water. Although their bodies are only less than a foot long, their mouths are full of sharp edges.
Their teeth are frantically attacking the lone "moon jellyfish" in groups, just like a nimble swift passing by the jellyfish, it can tear off a piece of the opponent's body. Several fish cooperate, and in a short time
A jellyfish as big as a watermelon can be eaten clean in just a few dozen seconds.
"This is the 'cold water bigeye trevally'. Trevally are generally warm-water fish that grow in subtropical and tropical waters. Only a few species live in cold water areas. This is one of them. Before the Bering Strait, there were
There are a lot of them. I don’t know why there are them here. I guess the water temperature will drop quickly as you go down." Shui Lingxing introduced to Ling Hao that no matter how much the latter knew about the ocean, it was impossible to surpass the cognitive level of a mermaid.
.
Sure enough, when the water temperature dropped to 170 meters, the water temperature suddenly turned cold. In the blink of an eye, Ling Hao felt that his skin had lost all feeling, and even wearing two layers of thickened diving suits on his body felt like he was wearing nothing. As it continued
After diving, Shui Lingxing's spirit body was nothing, but Ling Hao's face turned pale and his lips turned purple.
"Stop holding it back, you've almost reached your limit. Don't make random dangerous attempts and damage your body." Shui Lingxing finally couldn't help but advise.
"Okay." Ling Hao spit out a string of bubbles, and red light bloomed all over his body. He immediately created a thin air film for himself. Although this air film was only a few millimeters thick, it isolated the cold pool water.
, the thermal insulation effect is even better than wearing a "circulating hot water deep diving suit", and the color returned to Ling Hao's face in a short time.
"Did you see it? There is a faint light below." Shui Lingxing suddenly said.
Ling Hao also discovered it, but he still remained calm and looked at the diving computer on his wrist: "The depth here has reached 190 meters, and the temperature is exactly zero degrees Celsius. Logically speaking, the sea water will freeze if it drops two degrees lower.
.”
Shui Lingxing looked at Ling Hao like an idiot and said, "Who told you that sea water will definitely freeze after it reaches -2 degrees?"
Ling Hao was dissatisfied: "Du Niang, isn't it?"
"If it is very pure and basically still seawater, lacking condensation nuclei, it will not freeze easily."
Ling Hao looked confused. Although he considered himself a highly educated person, he still didn't quite understand Shui Lingxing's words.
In the blink of an eye, the diving depth has reached 210 meters. It seems that there is some light source under the water not far away, illuminating the sea water here into a sapphire blue, and the visibility is getting higher and higher. Even without a diving light, it can
I could see clearly, and the water temperature had dropped to -25 degrees. As Shui Lingxing said, there was no sign of freezing. However, even though Ling Hao had a layer of air film protecting him, he still started to feel cold.
"Be careful. Don't make sudden big movements, otherwise you may turn into an ice sculpture at any time." Shui Lingxing ordered with a solemn face, while Ling Hao was still searching for all the uncommon words in his mind.
Knowledge, I want to understand the scientific basis for what the other person says.
At 225 meters, we finally reached the bottom. It was different from what we imagined. This was not a cold underwater desert. There were many unknown shrimp and crab arthropods at the bottom of the pool, as well as several starfish-like creatures. They were swimming at their slow pace.
Crawling little by little.
These are nothing, but the key is that there is an extremely huge snake skeleton lying on the fine sand at the bottom of the water. Senbai's skull is as big as the front of a small truck. Judging from the size of the ribs, his body was larger than the body when he was alive.
The oil drum is even thicker. In Ling Hao's memory, even the prehistoric "Titanoboa" was not that big in size. What kind of snake this is is completely beyond Ling Hao's knowledge. But the most eye-catching thing is
, or a ball of light suspended above the skeleton. There is a strange cold atmosphere in the white forest. It is the reason why the water temperature here is so low.
Ling Hao said happily: "This is the 'Yin-Yang Dragon Pearl', right? The scorching heat and the strange coldness on Tu Yao's body are indeed opposite attributes. Such an extreme collision of two forces, no wonder she can't stand it.
"
Shui Lingxing sighed: "This is the skeleton of a giant ocean python. Although it has a life span of thousands of years, it is still a minor in this species. I don't know how it died here, and I don't know how long it has been dead.
.”
"Ocean python?" Ling Hao was quite curious: "Why have I never heard of such a creature? Is it an extinct ancient species?"
"I don't know whether it is extinct or not. Anyway, this species is very rare. The price of its long life is extremely low reproductive capacity. However, every ocean python is a dominant-level existence. They use giant whales as prey and use sharks to
The behemoth who serves as a snack is more terrifying than the one named Tayao above." There was a rare look of awe on Shui Lingxing's face.
Ling Hao looked at the energy ball that exuded brilliant light and mist. The cold air on it actually produced a light smoke-like effect in the sea water. The strands were floating around, like a dream, and it was so beautiful. Unknowingly,
Ling Hao was a little intoxicated. He subconsciously took a step forward and raised his hand to touch the light ball.
"You're crazy! Don't move!" Shui Lingxing shouted, and a wave of waves gently shook Ling Hao's arm away. However, the latter quickly reached out to stir up the water, and several small bubbles appeared. Suddenly the bubbles solidified.
It turned into ice and spread quickly to the side, like cracks appearing on the glass. An icicle as thick as an arm connected to the rotating dragon ball in the blink of an eye, while another icicle passed through the position where Ling Hao's arm was just now, and suddenly downwards
A large area of starfish, shrimps and crabs on the sand at the bottom of the pool were all turned into ice sculptures, making it seem as if an ice dragon appeared out of thin air.
"Holy crap, these are 'icicles of death'!" Ling Hao finally remembered. He had seen a National Geographic magazine program on TV, which was about the "icicles of death" that appeared in the Arctic and Antarctic waters.
"Phenomenon. When the seawater temperature drops to a certain level, the sea surface will freeze, and the salt in the seawater will be precipitated, causing the salinity of the seawater around the ice to increase. On the one hand, these high-salinity seawater has a lower freezing point, and on the other hand
The density is greater, and it still does not freeze when the temperature around the ice drops below the freezing point of ordinary seawater. Because of its high density, it continues to sink, causing the temperature of the seawater below to drop below the freezing point, thereby solidifying, and moving toward the seabed in a columnar shape.
It extended rapidly, and wherever it went, all marine life was frozen to death.
"It's almost the same, but it's not the same. Have you ever seen pure water that has been frozen in the refrigerator for an hour, and it freezes immediately when you take it out and shake it?"
Ling Hao suddenly realized: "Yes, it turns out to be 'supercooled water'. The water here is too clean and lacks condensation nuclei, so the seawater will freeze quickly if there is strong fluctuation!"
Shui Lingxing snorted: "You are not too stupid, but the most dangerous thing here is not the cold, but the super-cooled sea water that can freeze you at any time if you are not careful, so please be gentle and slow in your movements.
Otherwise I can't save you."
The two of them cautiously approached the rotating dragon ball at a speed as slow as a starfish. It took them a full quarter of an hour before they finally came to the side of the dragon ball. They only heard a "click" and Ling Hao's diving
The lamp was cracked by the frost. He looked at the diving computer from the corner of his eye. Near the dragon ball, the temperature had reached -47 degrees. It was as if the sea water had become stagnant and sticky. At this time, the air film on Ling Hao's body
It seemed that it had lost its due function, and he was almost unconscious from the cold. Moreover, in this case, if he was not careful, the surrounding area of more than ten meters would instantly become a small iceberg on the seabed, and he and Shui Ling
The star must have been "frozen in time for eternity".
Ling Hao gently took off a foldable underwater specimen box that had been prepared for a long time from his waist, gently opened the lid, and put the box on the dragon ball bit by bit like he was detonating a bomb.
After 20 minutes, Ling Hao finally closed the lid. With a "click" sound, as the buckle of the specimen box lid closed, the two of them breathed a long sigh of relief. This kind of specimen box is not used to hold living specimens.
, even radioactive specimens can be sealed and stored for a short period of time, the "refrigeration source" is sealed, and the temperature of the surrounding seawater begins to rise rapidly. Only then did Ling Hao feel that the skin on his body began to hurt, which was obviously frostbite.
Already.
After all, Shui Lingxing resides in Ling Hao's body, so how can he not feel his pain? "Let's go up quickly. Your skin should be frostbitten over a large area. If your appearance is broken, I'm afraid that your two little ones will
My girlfriend wants to settle a score with me."
Ling Hao rolled his eyes at her. As soon as he heard the so-called "two little girlfriends" remarks, he felt pain all over his body and brain. He couldn't care about anything else at the moment. He threw away the lead weight and quickly exhaled and floated up. Ling Hao
Concentrating on using his power of Ryūto to guide the nitrogen bubbles that are constantly floating in the blood into the respiratory and digestive systems to prevent them from accumulating in the blood vessels and causing decompression sickness. It is incredible to be able to do this.
However, this also produced a very embarrassing consequence, that is, on the way up, there would be constant burping and farting, and huge bubbles kept popping up from the upper and lower ends. This was definitely a large-scale social death scene.
Shui Lingxing kept giggling, regretting that he didn't bring an underwater camera, otherwise he could have taken a set of precious photos and let everyone see what an "underwater jet power system" is.
He was so angry that he had no room to argue with her. He secretly swore that he would "squat in confinement" in the decompression chamber honestly from now on and would never use this method to decompress again.
Half an hour later, the two surfaced. Tu Yao and a large group of people were waiting anxiously on the shore. When everyone saw that the specimen box in Ling Hao's hand was quickly covered with a thin layer of ice as soon as it came out of the water, and even
When there were wisps of white cold air, everyone knew that he had succeeded, and everyone showed a relieved smile, especially Tu Yao, who was so excited that she shed tears.
However, Shui Lingxing shouted with a sinking face: "Don't be too anxious to be happy, hurry up and save people!" Only then did everyone notice that Ling Hao was floating on the water with his back, seemingly unable to move.
