"The viper's viper."
Why emphasize this in particular?
In fact, there is no need to explain, everyone in the deep submersible has already seen the appearance of the little fish.
That's more of a snake than a fish!
Their tail fins and pectoral fins are very small, and their twisted and uncoordinated heads open a huge mouth with transparent, dagger-like teeth sticking out of the mouth, like an angry cobra opening its mouth to spit out venom.
The viper fish divided into three groups and pounced on Xia Mi and the other two ocean overlords who were beaten to death by Xia Mi respectively. The swarm of viper fish submerged Xia Mi in an instant, and their sharp teeth wanted to pierce Xia Mi. Chu Zihang's heart tightened, and he wanted to rush out, but Caesar held him back.
"Don't be impulsive, look carefully."
Chu Zihang took a closer look and realized that those viper fish teeth fell on Xia Mi's skin and couldn't bite at all!
Where is the skin? I don’t know when Xia Mi’s body was covered with a layer of black and gray scales!
After trying in vain and almost breaking a few teeth, Viper immediately realized that this was someone he was not easy to deal with, and then spread out to deal with the other two guys who were crippled by Xia Mi.
Chu Zihang breathed a sigh of relief.
The hammerhead shark and king squid, which had been unable to struggle, suddenly straightened their bodies. The severe pain reawakened the two dying guys, but even though they were able to break the reef into pieces, they still could not get rid of those snake-like greedy viperfish. .
They bit like crazy, and the blood foam of hammerhead sharks dyed the water red.
About a minute later, the two pale skeletons slowly sank. After the devilish viperfish had eaten, they returned to their leisurely state, spread out, and swam away on their own.
"They are attracted by the smell of the blood of sharks and squids. The viperfish's eyesight is as poor as that of the squid. Most of the time, they rely on the light source on their heads to attract prey. But when they gather together, they are the deepest in the deep sea. A terrible predator."
Caesar relighted his cigar.
"In this sea, hammerhead sharks and king squid have to calculate the time to fight to the death. If the winner is not determined for too long, they will both become food for the viperfish."
"Thanks to them not eating anything made of iron..."
Fingel smacked his lips, and before he could take a breath, he saw a viper fish swimming to the porthole, suddenly showing a ferocious look, biting the plexiglass twice, leaving two teeth marks, it seemed I realized that this thing didn’t taste good and gave up.
"It's true that they don't eat iron things, but that doesn't stop them from wanting to take a bite of anything they touch." Caesar shrugged.
"How could there be such a monster in the world?"
"There shouldn't be such monsters in the world," Chu Zihang whispered, "pay attention to the things floating in the sea water."
Looking out of the porthole, I could vaguely see some gray-white fragments floating in the seawater stained red by the blood of the two big guys, which seemed to be palm-sized scales.
But do sharks have scales?
Even if sharks have scales, the king squid shouldn't have scales, right?
And judging from the appearance of the scales, they have no resemblance to the original bone shield scales on the shark. Instead, they are 90% similar to the scales on Xia Mi.
These are simply reptile scales!
"Genetic problem," Caesar said, "It has reptilian-like genes...dragon-like genes!"
The three people present fell silent. Even Yuan Zhisheng on the other side of the channel stopped talking. The deep sea returned to the silence of the deep sea.
To be honest, this situation is so weird that even the eighth-grade seniors have never heard of this situation.
They had imagined that there was a Nibelung in the deep sea. After opening the Nibelung, there were hordes of Deadpool armies, and perhaps Dragon Knights.
But they didn't expect that the entire deep sea had become the domain of dragons.
This is not the Nibelungen, but it is far scarier than the Nibelungen.
This beautiful and warm scene like an aquarium has completely changed its flavor. Hidden in the peace at this moment are the most bloody rules. Killings will happen here all the time.
The weak take advantage of their living time to play, while the strong watch the food play.
This sea area is restricted by the bloody and violent rules of the dragon clan. Every creature here is half dragon, including themselves.
"The same goes for those viperfish. Ordinary viperfish are also ferocious animals, but it's not enough to swallow a hammerhead shark with mixed dragon blood in an instant. Their teeth need to be able to penetrate those scales." Chu Zihang said, "This is not an ordinary one. The viper fish should be called "Ghost-toothed Dragon Viper", which is mixed with dragon blood. "
"Legend has it that a rebellious noble among the Dragon Clan will be tied to a bronze pillar and sunk into the deep sea. A swarm of dragon vipers will eat him and the bronze pillar together. This is regarded as a form of torture. After enduring the torture, he will be purified. offense."
"How the hell can I bear it?" Fingel couldn't help complaining, "That thing can even eat a bronze pillar!"
Caesar shrugged: "Because nobles can be resurrected in cocoons and are not afraid of death, this is just torture."
Chu Zihang looked around: "It seems that everything here is related to the dragon clan."
"Including us." Caesar said, "In fact, dragon genes can be inserted into the gene chain of almost any animal. In ancient China, there were nine kinds of dragons, which actually refers to the erosion of the genes of other creatures by dragon genes."
For example, Bixi, a half-dragon and half-turtle guy, is called the "dragon ancestral turtle" in dragon genealogy, while "Chiki" is called the King Dragon Whale. It is carved on the roof. It is thought to be able to extinguish fires because it can spray water columns hundreds of meters high. The ancients who have seen it thought it was a water god.
"We should be close to the target. These species with part of the dragon ancestry live in this area. They have obviously sensed the domain of dragon embryos. Except for these ferocious things, other species are afraid of the dragon's power and dare not approach."
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
Of course, the worst case scenario.
At a depth of 9,000 meters, the Trieste's watertight compartment discharged part of the seawater, and the diving speed gradually decreased.
Caesar successfully stabilized this old antique at this depth. 400 meters further down is the bottom of the trench - in fact, the deepest point of the Japan Trench is more than 10,000 meters, but the coordinates where a few people dived are not that deep.
Magma flows across the field, and thunder and thunder tremble continuously. There is only one word to describe this kind of environment in any mythology——
hell.
The propellers were turned on, and the Trieste swam slowly above the magma, maintaining depth.
The three people in the cabin were lying on the observation port, looking around.
The location of the dragon embryo is in this area, but in what form it will appear no one knows.
At this moment, if you look down from above, the crack on the seafloor is like a burning abyss, and the 15-meter-long Di Trieste is as small as a midge.
It glides lightly and smoothly over the blazing flames, and its entire body is reflected in gold.
In the deep submersible, three people immersed themselves in three different observation ports, overlooking the deep-sea lava river below.
All you can see is the molten gold of magma and the black of sea water. There is no longer any living creature in sight. Abnormal creatures like giant squid and hammerhead shark mixed with dragon blood are also afraid of the high temperature and pressure here. This is the real place. The restricted area of life.
Outside the submersible, Xia Mi suddenly felt his hair standing on end. He looked around but found nothing.
illusion?
Does the Dragon King also have delusions?
Xia Mi was a little solemn.
Where Xia Mi couldn't see, a woman with black hair slowly merged into the sea water.

"Have you found the fault that caused the sudden sinking?" Schneider held the phone in the central control room of the campus headquarters.
"It is speculated that the pressure valves of the three watertight compartments are leaking. Those valves are all products from the 1960s, so it is not surprising that problems occurred. The remaining watertight compartment is enough to help Caesar and the others return." Yuan Zhisheng said, "Even if the first Four watertight compartments are broken, and we can also use safety ropes to pull them up."
"How can I trust the equipment that the equipment department has touched?" Schneider touched his forehead and felt a layer of cold sweat.
He felt his heartbeat stopped the moment the Diriaste lost control just now.
He called the equipment department on the dedicated phone line and asked in a low voice how to troubleshoot the problem.
The equipment department said firmly that just start the he power system. After starting the he power system, this thing will be as light as a flying bird in the deep sea. What kind of watertight cabin is needed?
Schneider suppressed his anger and asked what was the danger of starting the he power system?
The equipment department said calmly, be careful not to explode.
Schneider asked what were the chances of the reactor exploding?
The equipment department said with certainty that the new equipment has not been tested much and has not exploded. There is no data reference, but it is estimated that it will not exceed 10%.
Schneider asked: Does that mean we have a 10% chance of sinking Japan?
The equipment department disdainfully said not to make such a fuss. They were flying scientific research equipment, not a civil aircraft. Can you expect it to be as safe as a civil aircraft? Scientific research is always accompanied by the sacrifice of martyrs...
"In short, we can basically rule out that it was sabotaged by man-made damage," Yuan Zhisheng said. "Its valve was checked before diving, and there was no trace of man-made sabotage."
"Okay. Let them continue to observe. There is not much time left. If no embryo is found, recover the Ditryste." Schneider said.
"Copy that," Yuan Zhisheng said, "There's one more thing."
"speak."
"We have detected large-scale turbulence in the sky above the current coordinates. According to speculation, a tsunami will occur within ten minutes."
"End the exploration before the tsunami occurs. If nothing is gained, try it again at another time."
"yes."
Schneider put down the phone.
"You seem pretty relaxed," Manstein said.
Schneider nodded slightly: "Because although it was an accident, it was different from the situation in the Greenland ice sea six years ago... The worst "accidents" in the human world are not as scary as the "normal" in the dragon world. "
"Understand, your biggest concern is always the hatching of the embryo," Manstein said.
"Accidents can be remedied, but if you face dragons in the deep sea, there is only one ending for them," Schneider whispered, "Death!"
"You also faced dragons, but you came back alive."
"That's because of my speaking spirit... If it weren't for the fact that I happened to have that kind of speaking spirit, I would have died deep in the Greenland ice sea."
——
Aboard the Monyach.
Yuan Xiaosheng switched from the academy channel to the channel of the deep submersible: "Call the Ditryeste, call the Ditryeste, there is the latest mission notification."
What came back over the channel was Caesar's voice: "The Trieste has received it, please speak."
"The weather ship has detected huge air turbulence. According to calculations, a violent typhoon will occur in the current sea area and cause a tsunami within ten minutes. According to the instructions of the headquarters, the corresponding mission time has been adjusted. You only have ten minutes left to explore. Please wait until the tsunami Return to the Monyach before the tsunami occurs. Repeat, please return to the Monyach within ten minutes before the tsunami occurs."
"Driaste has received it. Now repeat the order and return to Moniach within ten minutes... What is that vertical thing!?"
Caesar's originally calm voice suddenly became excited, followed by Fingel's shy voice: "Boss, don't be like this, even if your muscles look great, I am a serious person."
Yuan Zhisheng:? ? ? ?
What planes are you doing underwater? ?
