Chapter 208 Bottomless Abyss

"Ding, ding, alarm! Alarm!"

"D-class life forms are detected floating."

"Ship, please pay attention to avoid, ship, please pay attention to avoid."

Almost at the moment when Chen Qi sensed those huge life forms, the large life radar on the passenger ship also captured the fluctuations of those life forms.

The life index of D-class life forms is generally between 50-100.

Even if they do not have any extraordinary power, their terrifying flesh alone is comparable to the black iron extraordinary life, that is, the extraordinary among humans.

Don't look at the fact that the Morsk is a giant passenger ship with ten floors and a length of 300 meters, but if it is hit by those big guys, it will capsize if it is not careful.

Because the size of D-class life forms is not less than 100 meters.

The Morsk is just a passenger ship, not a large hunting ship, and of course it does not want to encounter these powerful floating life forms.

······

"Quick, quick, speed up immediately!"

"What happened recently? Are these big guys under the sea going crazy? Why are they always running to the surface?"

"Quickly notify the passengers to stay away from the deck and hide in their rooms!"

Captain Billam calmly gave orders while cursing his bad luck in his heart.

This was the third time he had encountered such a strange situation in half a year.

As a 30-year-old captain, he had encountered D-level lifeforms only a few times in the past few decades.

I never expected that I would have to make up for it all when I was about to retire.

Fortunately, Billam already had skilled coping experience. With his operation, the passenger ship successfully separated from the floating monsters.

······

"Are those D-level lifeforms?"

"The vitality is so abundant that it is burning. It must be very nourishing to eat."

On the empty deck at the stern, Chen Qi's figure appeared at some point, silently looking at the sea in the distance.

The sea water there was boiling, and island-like flesh mountains appeared.

The next moment, hundreds of tentacles hundreds of meters long kept slapping the sea surface, raising layers of huge waves.

"It seems to be a group of octopuses?"

"The largest one must be 700 meters in size, and it's only D-level?"

Even though they were 10 kilometers away, the monsters' terrifying life magnetic field still radiated into Chen Qi's perception like a burning little sun.

So it was never Chen Qi's spirituality that actively sensed them, but their presence was too strong, like a bonfire in the dark night, it was impossible to ignore it.

Before today, Chen Qi had never thought that the life magnetic field could be so violent.

All along, Chen Qi's inherent impression was that the life magnetic field was assimilated by the material field.

But these D-level life forms are wantonly blooming their life magnetic fields and forcibly distorting everything around them.

And the reason why they can do this is because of the terrifying vitality in their bodies.

The source of these vitality is naturally the spiritual energy absorbed by them.

These guys don't have extraordinary blood, but they can absorb spiritual energy. It's strange that they are not huge!

Because they are different from ordinary life and not extraordinary life, they are named sea monsters.

Sea monster is just a general term, and there are many varieties.

······

"Chirp chirp!"

Xiaohong stared at the big octopuses with great excitement, and her saliva was almost flowing out.

If it were in the past, it would naturally fly far away when it met these guys in the sea.

But now, King Red Falcon feels that he is good enough, at least he can eat a roasted octopus leg.

It has been tired of eating vegetarian food every day!

"Behave yourself, you little bean with a vitality index of only 5.2, not enough for others to shoot casually!"

"It's a pity that the fully automatic weed remover only harms flowers and plants. It would be great if it could be used for hunting!"

Although Xiaohong is now considered an extraordinary life, her strength is even stronger than many high-level extraordinary people.

But its bloodline ability is more targeted at intelligent life, and it is not so effective against these brainless sea monsters.

Apart from other things, the size and vitality alone are enough to burn for three days and three nights.

As for the radiation damage of the fully automatic weed remover, I am afraid that before it gets close to the sea monster, it will be distorted and repelled by their terrifying life magnetic field.

The reason why these sea monsters are classified as D-level life forms is because their life magnetic field is strong enough to distort the spells of the defense extraordinary.

Even if Chen Qi is now surrounded by this group of sea monsters, he may not be able to escape.

The outside world is really dangerous enough.

······

As the passenger ship accelerated away, these sea monsters disappeared from Chen Qi's sight.

These guys seemed to just come to the sea to bask in the moonlight, and had no intention of attacking the passenger ship.

In fact, for the sea monsters, the meager vitality of humans is not as good as a random worm on the seabed.

So they never take the initiative to prey on humans, just like humans are too lazy to eat ants.

The reason why there are occasional rumors of sea monsters attacking humans is of course because of those large hunting ships.

Chen Qi was already envious of the D-level octopus, so how could greedy human gourmets let go of this underwater delicacy?

So since ancient times, the sea hunting behavior of killing such large life forms has always existed.

And with the brains of sea monsters, they can't distinguish the types of ships at all, so they naturally regard all ships sailing on the sea as threats.

This hostility has been passed down from generation to generation through genes, and humans and sea monsters are naturally hurting each other more and more.

······

In the restaurant, after the false alarm, the dinner continued.

But this time everyone's topic was changed to sea monsters.

Although everyone was away from the deck at the time, they did not witness the true face of the sea monster.

But with humanity's current technology, it's still no problem to secretly take some pictures from a distance.

When Chen Qi looked out from the deck, he saw several small detection equipment.

The owner of one of the detectors had already appeared in front of Chen Qi.

"Brother, you are so awesome, you dare to sneak out to see the sea monster!"

"I looked at it through the screen and felt weak in my legs!"

"I'm a reporter and this is my business card!"

Zhu Fengchun introduced himself very familiarly, and Chen Qi, who had nothing to do now, casually took the business card.

"Monster House" is the name of the website where Zhu Fengchun works.

At first glance, you can tell that it is a hunting website.

As expected, the reason why Zhu Fengchun took the initiative to strike up a conversation was not only to do some interviews, but also to ask Chen Qi if he had taken any photos from suitable angles.

He can buy it for a fee.

······

"Are you specifically tracking sea monsters recently?"

Chen Qi turned on the smart communicator and searched for "Monster House", and then found that the contents it recently displayed were all related to sea monsters.

This seems to be a popular hot spot recently.

After leaving Blue Taro Country, Chen Qi naturally changed himself to a more advanced communicator.

It seems to be only the size of a watch, but it can project information into the human retina. This is definitely high technology in the Blue Taro Country.

However, to the outside world, this is a civilian product, priced at only 1,999 credits.

Credit points are the unified settlement currency of human countries issued under the auspices of the world government, which greatly facilitates economic and trade flows in the human world.

1,999 credit points, equivalent to about 4,000 yuan in Blue Taro currency.

Even Chen Qi, a broke and impoverished rich man, can barely afford it.

Of course, if Chen Qi wanted to, he could buy a more advanced one.

After all, along the way, he had acted on behalf of heaven more than once, robbing the rich and giving to the poor, and finally accumulated another fortune.

Otherwise, how could I afford the ticket for this luxury liner?

But considering that the more advanced something is, the more backdoors it may leave behind, Chen Qi decided to play it safe.

In fact, after seeing Chen Qi playing with the "elderly machine", Zhu Fengchun regretted starting a conversation.

It's such an old thing. Can you read the photos taken?

But what he didn't expect was that the "low-key and slightly poor" young man opposite him actually provided him with several photos from excellent angles.

This shooting technique is an absolute masterclass.

What Zhu Fengchun didn't know was that these photos were just taken casually by Chen Qi in order to familiarize himself with the functions of the new communicator.

But with Chen Qi's current level of aesthetics, he can't do anything as weird as he wants.

After all, once the style goes up, it’s not that easy to come down.

······

"The shots are really good. They look lifelike and full of momentum."

"Our newspaper has indeed been doing tracking reports on sea monsters recently."

“It’s true that the Gurman shipwreck had such great influence that everyone wanted to gain some popularity.”

"Although sea monsters have been showing up a lot lately, it's just my luck that I encountered them."

Zhu Fengchun was editing and processing the photos sent by Chen Qi while preparing to transfer the money to Chen Qi.

But Chen Qi refused. In desperation, Zhu Fengchun could only invite Chen Qi to drink a few more drinks, and then the two became good friends who talked about everything.

Very easily, Chen Qi learned more information about the sea monster from Zhu Fengchun.

Especially regarding the Gurman shipwreck, Chen Qi searched the Internet and found very few relevant details.

But in Zhu Fengchun's case, Chen Qi heard an "insider" version.

······

The inner world sea area is endless and wide, and there are 36 huge trenches in this vast sea area.

Their depth exceeds 100,000 meters and is called the Abyss.

According to ancient legends, the bottomless abyss is connected to the eye of the sea and is also the source of all water in the world.

Before the birth of the World Government, the sea area where the Bottomless Abyss was located was extremely unsuitable for ship navigation due to complex ocean currents and changeable climate. It has always been regarded as a nightmare for navigators.

But this is a paradise for pirates.

Many pirate kings in human history made their fortune here and used it as their home base.

After the birth of the World Government, the pirates disappeared and the overall level of human science and technology improved.

Although these restricted areas for navigation are rough and windy, they are no longer difficult to pass.

Especially some important routes, in order to shorten the distance, can only travel through those sea areas.

The Gurman Sea is such an area. It is an important maritime trade route between hundreds of medium and powerful countries.

The Gurman Trench below it has a depth of 197,645 meters, ranking 28th among the 36 major trenches.

Just a year and a half ago, a shocking tsunami suddenly occurred in the originally peaceful and prosperous Gurman Sea area.

More than a dozen surrounding island countries were instantly submerged, and 13,000 ships and freighters on the route capsized.

The number of victims alone is as high as one million, and the economic losses are even more immeasurable.

It can be said that the second hottest topic in the entire inner ring world two years ago was this shipwreck.

It even successfully overshadowed the accidental shooting of several medium-sized powers, second only to the "Second World Plan" which is in full swing.

After all, the latter has been a hot search for humans for many years.

However, what embarrassed Chen Qi was that he didn't even know about the existence of this shipwreck.

It can be imagined how remote and isolated the Blue Taro Country is.

······

There are many different opinions on the cause of this shipwreck on the Internet.

The medium-sized powers around the Gurman Sea attributed the sudden tsunami to an undersea earthquake.

It is believed that the destruction of some structures in the Gurman Trench caused the tsunami.

This is the most official statement.

But the conspirators on the Internet don't think so.

They believe that the Gurman Trench has been calm for tens of thousands of years, and there is no reason for structural problems to occur now.

It must be some restless countries that did something in the trench, which caused the Gurman Trench to have problems.

Its spearhead is directly aimed at the Setin Kingdom, which ranks ninth in strength among medium-sized countries.

After all, the jurisdiction of the Gurman Sea has been monopolized by the Setin Kingdom and dozens of surrounding medium-sized powers, and the tolls have been collected.

This shipwreck has shocked the entire inner ring world. How can some forces that have long been envious and jealous not take the opportunity to make trouble?

With the instigation of many people, the ownership of the jurisdiction of the Gurman Sea has once again become the focus.

Even if the Setin Kingdom is strong and has many allies, it can't stand a group of hungry wolves.

According to Zhu Fengchun's words, this matter will sooner or later be brought to the world government.

Once the world government sends an investigation team, it will be even more interesting!

······

The problem with the Gurman Trench, in addition to causing a huge tsunami, it also brought about a large migration of sea monsters.

The powerful life forms living in the trench were forced to float to the seabed.

Then the entire underwater world was in chaos.

Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps, and the world of sea monsters is so simple.

The life forms that emerged from the trench were too powerful, and the concentration of spiritual energy on the seabed was too low.

Then the weak sea monsters became the best energy supplement.

The original food chain was torn apart, and the weaker sea monsters could only flee in panic.

In order to escape being hunted down, they even had to float to the surface of the sea where the spiritual energy was even thinner.

This is why sea monsters have appeared frequently recently.

Then these frequently appearing sea monsters were used as traffic codes by "Monster House", and reporters like Zhu Fengchun were active.

According to Zhu Fengchun, the popularity of sea monsters can last at least for decades, or even longer.

According to the gossip they got from their newspaper, some powerful sea monsters that came out of the Gurman Trench are wandering around.

Once a scientific research ship detected a group of powerful B-level life forms running for their lives.

You have to know that they are terrifying life forms that can reach thousands of meters in size and can be compared with silver life forms.

It is conceivable how huge and terrifying the existence that can make them run for their lives in panic would be.

Rumor has it that the navies of the Inner Ring World have all left the port, on the one hand to protect the safety of navigation, on the other hand to search for that terrifying life form.

I wonder what kind of existence it is that can make the entire Inner Ring World treat it so seriously!

Of course, the above has nothing to do with Chen Qi. He now only hopes to reach the Kingdom of Dikara safely and not to encounter any more troubles on the way.
