Lu Ping received a call from Dr. Ge, saying that the analysis had results.
Last time, Lu Ping collected some biological samples and coral rocks and other environmental samples from the Life Canyon and brought them back to him for analysis, because Lu Ping wanted to know how such a magical place as the Life Canyon was formed?
This is very important to him!
Because if there is still a naturally formed place for life to thrive on the sea floor full of hellish toxins, then maybe there is not only one such place on earth?
You must know that every place like this is a huge treasure to Lu Ping! He worked hard to save money and buy expensive genetic potions. How could it be as easy as finding a real gathering place of creatures and eating them directly?
After several days of careful analysis and testing, and consulting some documents in the Crystal Palace Library, Dr. Ge finally came up with an idea.
"The key lies in these little things." Dr. Ge held up a test tube and approached Lu Ping, "Look."
Lupine looked intently.
There were plankton the size of rice grains in the test tube, with tiny tentacles.
"What is this?" he asked.
"This is the polyp of a coral polyp. I isolated it from the coral specimen you gave me." Dr. Ge said, "Didn't you mention before that the cliffs on both sides of that magical Skyline Canyon are porous structures? Is that very consistent with the characteristics of a coral reef, and I did find coral polyps in it."
"Then, why do you say they are the key?" Lu Ping was puzzled.
"Because they are the nemesis of hell toxins!" Dr. Ge said shockingly.
"How is it possible?" Lu Ping was stunned for a moment, "The toxins from hell cannot be removed by any means on earth so far. Only the divine water of the God Lords can remove them... How can these little things decompose the toxins from hell?"
"No, no, it's not decomposition." Dr. Ge knew that Lu Ping would be wrong, and said quickly, "It's solidification! These coral polyps solidified the hell toxins in the rocks, so the water inside the canyon had a higher level of hell toxins. Reduced."
"Tell me more specifically?" Lu Ping became interested.
If it is really formed like this, it is undoubtedly good news. Coral polyps are definitely not uncommon in the sea. Are there many such life canyons?
Dr. Ge nodded, sorted out his thoughts, and then said:
“The terrible thing about hell toxin is that it will continuously accumulate in the body of living things, and when it accumulates to a certain level, it will lead to the death of the living body... But the physiological characteristics of coral polyps almost exactly restrain the hell toxin.
"First of all, coral is a kind of colony life! Every coral is formed from the dead body of coral polyps. When the coral polyps are alive, they will continue to absorb calcium in the sea water. Although the body decays after death, calcium and other inorganic The material remains, forming a structure similar to a pile of bones... The descendants of the coral polyps further multiply on the pile of bones of their ancestors, and then die again, constantly expanding the size of the 'pile of bones', so that colorful corals can grow.
"In other words, even without the existence of hell toxins, coral polyps will continue to die from generation to generation. The death of microscopic individuals is equivalent to the 'growth' of macroscopic individuals! In this weird and contradictory way of survival, hell toxins are not only not coral polyps The poison has become a catalyst for the growth of coral reefs."
"During this process, a large amount of hell toxins were also condensed in the coral reefs, causing the concentration of toxins in nearby waters to decrease. From your description, the topography of the Life Canyon is like a line of sky, so I speculate...the lower the water body, the more water passes by. The more effective the coral filtration is, the lower the hell toxin content should be!
"Considering that large creatures tend to have more complex systems and are less resistant to hell's toxins, in that life canyon, the area near the mouth of the canyon should be dominated by small plankton! And the deeper the water body , the average size of creatures should be larger..."
Lu Ping looked at Ge Xu in surprise, feeling a little admired in his heart.
He had been there personally and naturally knew that it was exactly what the other party said...the lower the water body, the lower the toxin content and the larger the size of the organisms.
"Of course, I'm just guessing. There are some things I haven't thought about clearly." Dr. Ge added, "For example, how to ensure the oxygen content in the canyon and how to circulate energy? There is almost no photosynthesis in such a deep seabed. Algae... Another example is why the growth of coral reefs does not completely close the sky... these require more information to analyze."
"It's okay, it's already very good." Lu Ping nodded, "I will give you more samples for analysis later when I have the opportunity."
The two talked for a while.
Suddenly I saw that the light outside seemed to change suddenly.
But when I looked out through the glass window... nothing seemed to have changed.
"Did something happen?" Lu Ping frowned secretly.

Meanwhile, about 200 meters above the Crystal Palace.
The virtual projection barrier of the Crystal Palace is generally 125 meters high above the many buildings in the underwater city. Within this height, it is considered the interior of the Crystal Palace!
This distance is the optimal height finally determined after taking into account many factors including power consumption, visual deception, sound attenuation, etc.
Normally, the virtual projection barrier of the Crystal Palace is maintained at a height of 125 meters, but at this time, above a certain building, the virtual barrier extended outward by more than 70 meters, reaching a height of 200 meters!
And just like this expansion, a piece of seawater with a height of more than 70 meters was enclosed, and in this seawater...
More than a dozen crab-shaped submersibles and more than fifty aquatic extraordinary beings of various shapes were surrounding the 12 undead.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."
"Humans! Lots of humans!"
"Hiss... Lair... Human's Lair..."
The eyes of the undead were shining, their mouths were watering, and they had almost forgotten their fear.
But the next moment, a battle broke out between the two sides. It was almost a crushing force. The extraordinary side captured all 12 undead without any damage!
The reason why he was so relaxed was because there was a woman in red among the extraordinary ones.
She is Zhu Mei, the Scarlet Dragon King! Even without transforming into a giant dragon form, her strength easily exceeds that of a third-level undead.
And among the 12 undead in this team, the most powerful ones are only a few second-level ones.
"Nisha, come here." Zhu Mei waved, and a petite girl with countless colorful jellyfish tentacles swam over from behind - she had stayed far away from the battle just now and did not participate in the battle at all.
"These are one-turners. You should be able to control them. Help me see what's going on in their minds." Zhu Mei signaled.
The girl nodded.
Colorful tentacles floated up and enveloped the head of an undead... The other person immediately looked confused.
But her face still twitched occasionally, as if she was cursing, and Nisha, the girl with the extraordinary jellyfish gene, also blushed and gritted her teeth.
The colors of the colorful tentacles changed, and the two seemed to be competing.
After a moment, Nisa’s expression suddenly changed.
"It's not good!" Her face turned pale, and she rushed to Zhu Mei's side and hugged her arm, "A lot of undead are coming this way..."
"It's an order from their king! A giant with a head made of shells sent his undead in groups to search in our direction!"
"Many, many..."
