People are in the comprehensive tomb, unloading the mountain and stealing the chief

Just when he was feeling a little irritated, Chen Ziyan suddenly discovered that the walls on both sides of the passage seemed to have changed.

The change was not obvious at first, but as they continued to go deeper, the originally black and gray rocks at the bottom of the eyes soon turned into a softer milky white material.

When the color of the wall completely turned into milky white, Chen Ziyan stopped and walked forward to observe it carefully.

With his rich knowledge, he quickly recognized that the material of the passage walls should be coral stone.

The wall in front of him was white with a hint of pink, and its texture was delicate and soft, like ivory, which was very consistent with the characteristics of white coral in his memory.

The natural and smooth texture is a favorable proof.

What's more, this is the South China Sea, which is one of the areas where white corals are most common.

After making this judgment in his mind, Chen Ziyan looked forward and found that the walls of the passage in front of him had become what he saw before him.

"Coral Passage?"

This made him think so.

After this thought came to his mind, Chen Ziyan became subconsciously alert.

He did not think this was a trivial matter, but regarded it as an issue worthy of attention.

Because he knew very well the conditions for the formation of coral stones. If the wall of the passage was only covered with a layer of coral stones, it would be fine. But if the passage behind was completely made of coral stones, it meant that they were very likely to have broken into a coral nest.

In such deep oceans, coral nests have always been synonymous with danger.

No one can predict what kind of horrible creature is lurking inside.

Not to mention that Chen Ziyan knew clearly that there were not only black-scaled mermaids in the Coral Spiral Sea. To be honest, among the hidden dangers here, black-scaled mermaids were not even at the top of the list.

If they really entered the coral nest, they would most likely encounter those horrible creatures.

This made Chen Ziyan want to back out and wonder if he should try another path.

But then he dismissed the idea.

Since we have come this far, if we retreat just because of possible danger, it would be better to retreat directly back to the sea.

After strengthening his belief, Chen Ziyan took another step forward.

Although the others also noticed something was wrong, they did not ask questions at this time and just followed him silently.

However, the atmosphere that had just been relaxed became solemn again.

The crowd moved forward cautiously, and after more than ten minutes, they finally reached the end of the passage.

The difference from the last time was that this time they saw the exit of the passage from a long distance away.

Because they saw the light again, and this time the light was not fleeting, but was always there and shone directly into the passage from outside.

By looking at the brightness of the light coming in, it is not difficult to judge how bright the space outside the passage is, and it even gives people a wonderful illusion that they are about to see the light of day again.

You know, this is the deep and dark seabed.

This shows how bright the light outside is.

In light of the lesson from last time, Chen Ziyan and his companions were not in a hurry to leave this time, and they did not even approach the exit rashly.

Instead, he kept a certain distance and looked outside cautiously.

Although their field of vision was limited due to the angle, fortunately the light outside was bright enough so they could see the scene outside clearly.

From what we see, it is not difficult to see that there is an extremely wide space outside.

But what puzzled Chen Ziyan was, what was the light source that illuminated this space?
Just when he was full of doubts, a group of huge strange fish came into his sight and answered his doubts.

The strange fish is about fifteen meters long and is covered with diamond-shaped scales. When it swims, its huge body looks like a small truck shuttling through the water, and it looks extremely ferocious.

These strange fish have a thick tentacle on the top of their heads, and at the end of the tentacle there is a lantern-shaped light-emitting organ.

It is thanks to this light-emitting organ that the fish can illuminate the entire space outside as bright as day.

Actually, this is also a good thing for Chen Ziyan and others.

After all, the underwater environment is, in a sense, also a dark forest. While their searchlight beams provide illumination, they also expose their whereabouts in disguise.

Now the light emitted by these strange fish directly covers the light of the searchlight.

After realizing this, Chen Ziyan began to observe the fish outside with confidence.

His first impression of these strange fish was that of the most obvious anglerfish, but the body shapes of the two were completely different, so he was not sure.

After all, apart from similar light-emitting organs, there is nothing essentially similar between the two.

Just when Chen Ziyan was secretly wondering about the origin of these strange fish, Bai Er quietly came behind him, touched him lightly, and handed him his writing board.

Chen Ziyan subconsciously turned his head and saw five words written on the writing board.

【Deep sea golden eye snapper】

Deep sea golden eye snapper? Golden eye snapper?
He had heard a little about this ornamental and edible species, but as far as he knew, this type of fish was usually only a dozen centimeters long.

Moreover, even the distant relative of the golden-eyed sea bream that can bioluminesce does not have a light-emitting organ similar to that of the anglerfish.

Seeing that Chen Ziyan did not react, Bai Er could roughly guess what he was thinking, so he quickly wrote another line on the writing board.

[The deep-sea golden eye snapper is a species from ancient times, and is considered the ancestor of this type of fish today]

Chen Ziyan agreed with this explanation.

Based on his experience, this should be the most likely explanation.

After thinking for a while, he wrote on the writing board: [How much do you know about this creature? ]

Chen Ziyan thought that since Bai Er could recognize so quickly that these fish were deep-sea golden-eye snappers, he must have known about it, so he asked directly.

[I know a little bit about this fish. It is said that this fish has a very vicious temperament and will madly attack other creatures that enter its territory. Moreover, its scales have amazing defensive power, and bullets can hardly cause effective damage.]

Seeing this, Chen Ziyan immediately understood that Bai Er didn't have any knowledge about it at all. He might have encountered this deep-sea golden-eye snapper before.

However, he did not ask further, as the relationship between the two parties had not reached that level yet.

Instead, new questions were raised.

【Is there any way to deal with it? 】

Thanks to the light provided by the deep-sea golden-eye snapper, the specific situation in the outside space can be seen at a glance.

After taking his eyes off the school of fish, Chen Ziyan quickly discovered that there was an outline of a building deep in the space outside.

It's just that because of the distance and the angle, I can't see it very clearly.

Although this does not mean that this is the core area they are looking for, but since there is this possibility, it is better to go and take a look.

If we want to achieve this, the deep-sea golden-eye snappers outside are an unavoidable problem.

This is also the reason why Chen Ziyan asked Bai Er if there was any way to deal with the golden-eye sea bream.

He thought that since Bai Er might have dealt with this thing before, even if he didn't have a practical solution, he could still provide some useful information.

Chen Ziyan still recognizes the capabilities of the Administration.

Seeing this question, Bai Er felt a little embarrassed.

It’s not that he didn’t want to say it, but he was afraid that he would mislead Chen Ziyan’s decision.

The reason why he was able to recognize the deep-sea golden-eye snapper so quickly was not because he had dealt with it before as Chen Ziyan guessed, but because he had seen relevant information before going out to sea.

However, many of the records in the materials were just guesses made by the parties involved, and he had no idea of ​​their authenticity.

Their current situation was somewhat awkward, and he didn't want any mistakes to occur because of the information he provided.

After thinking about it, Bai Er simply told everyone the whole situation.

[Master Chen, I saw the information about the deep-sea golden-eyed bream in an internal document. According to the guess of a colleague who had close contact with this creature, the deep-sea golden-eyed bream has excellent vision, which is different from ordinary sea creatures. It can be said that the light source they create is to transform an environment suitable for themselves...]

After seeing Bai Er’s reply, Chen Ziyan frowned slightly.

If that's the case, then they have no way of avoiding the deep-sea golden eye snappers out there.

The reason they are able to avoid being discovered now is because of the cover of the passage, but if they leave here, they will probably be discovered immediately.

Although Bai Er said that deep-sea golden-eye snappers rely on vision to hunt, Chen Ziyan does not think that this ancient predator would be that simple.

At least the vibrations caused by the movement cannot be hidden from them.

In addition, as mentioned before, the scales of this deep-sea golden-eye snapper are very hard, and even bullets cannot cause effective damage.

When these factors are combined, the challenge facing them becomes obvious.

After thinking for a while, Chen Ziyan first ruled out the idea of ​​luring and killing the deep-sea golden-eye snapper.

Although they could succeed once or twice by taking advantage of the channel, they would never be able to eliminate the entire school of fish outside.

Furthermore, the bright environment created by deep-sea golden-eye snappers actually has more benefits than disadvantages for them.

Although each of them had a searchlight, even if all the lights were added together, it would be impossible to create the current environment outside.

And apart from the deep-sea golden-eye snapper, who knows what else is hidden outside the passage.

Although Bai Er said that there were records in the data that the temperament of this deep-sea golden-eye snapper was extremely ferocious, the problem was that this was not an ordinary place.

Not to mention anything else, even the deep-sea giant snakes we encountered before would not be afraid of these deep-sea golden-eye snappers.

Not to mention that Chen Ziyan had another guess, that is, these deep-sea golden-eyed snappers, like the deep-sea giant snakes, were probably tamed by the black-scaled mermaids living in this sea area.

If this is true, then their opponents will be more than just the schools of fish roaming outside.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Ziyan thinks it is a good thing to preserve the existing environment.

After all, not everyone in their team can see in the dark like him. For others, it is difficult to see the attack from the dark relying solely on the beam of the searchlight.

After ruling out this method, there is only one option left, which is to just rush in.

Although only a vague outline of the building in the distance could be seen, Chen Ziyan roughly estimated that it was due to visual deviation caused by uneven light and shadow, and it was actually not far from them.

If they chose to act when the school of fish swam to the other side, then with their speed and if they tried their best, it would be possible for them to reach the location of the building before the deep-sea golden eye snappers returned.

Once they reached the building, they no longer had to worry about the deep-sea golden-eye snappers, because given their size, they simply couldn't get into the ruins.

Chen Ziyan then told others about his idea to see if they had different opinions.

After all, the wisdom of one person is limited, but the wisdom of many people is greater.

But given the reality, it is difficult for others to come up with a better solution.

In fact, after thinking it over in their minds, everyone realized that although the method Chen Ziyan came up with was rough, it was quite feasible.

Because the process is extremely simple, as long as everything goes according to plan and there are no unexpected changes, it would be difficult to make mistakes.

The only problem is that it's easy to deal with when you go there, but when you come back, you may have to face the deep-sea golden eye snapper. (End of this chapter)
