Chapter 51

 As the journey continued, day and night constantly changed.

Lin saw many things during this journey. In this vast body of water, the beach was the main environment, followed by rocks. Lin rarely saw anything else, and if she did, she would definitely not miss it.

Right now, Lin was swimming towards such a place, but the darkness was blocking her path.

Cold and empty, in this dark body of water, only the dim light of the lanterns allowed Lin to see her surroundings. Even though she had already experienced darkness many times, Lin was still unable to truly familiarize herself with it.

The light of the lanterns was always limited, greatly limiting Lin's vision. Every time Lin arrived at night, she would slowly float to the surface of the water to observe the boundless starry sky, waiting until it was daytime before continuing her journey.

Lin slowly floated to the surface, but this time, the starry sky seemed a bit strange …

The Leviathan floated to the surface and used its tentacles to observe above, but all it saw was darkness.

Where was the starry sky? Where were the flickering lights? Why did they disappear?

Could they also be covered by the darkness?

While Lin was still confused, an extremely bright light suddenly flashed, its light even illuminated the entire body of water. Lin could clearly feel the air and water trembling as it appeared.

What is that? How strange …

Lin suddenly became excited. Traveling was the right choice, she could see so many unknown and interesting things.

Following that, several more flashes of light appeared, but this time, the brightness seemed to be much lower, and the water and air no longer trembled.

These lights constantly flickered in the night that originally belonged to the starry sky, although they weren't as beautiful as the starry sky, Lin found them to be very interesting.

Suddenly, Lin felt something hitting the Leviathan's outer shell, although the force was very small, there were a lot of them.

Is this … water?

Countless tiny droplets of water fell from the air, hitting the Leviathan's outer shell and the surrounding water surface, causing ripples.

What a strange sight, why would water fall from the air?

Although Lin was curious, she didn't stay here any longer, because this body of water had already become restless, if Lin didn't leave now, she might be swept away by the strong current.

Leviathan released some of the gas in the air sac and slowly sank into the dark deep sea. As long as he reached the depths, he would not be affected by the strong current.

Lin didn't like darkness. In this world, she only had the faint light of a lantern to accompany her. At this time of the day, everything would become extremely difficult, even though she would occasionally discover a few creatures lurking in the darkness, most of the time, there was nothing at all.

However, single-celled organisms were common all the time, and Lin suspected that they had already filled this underwater world.

Suddenly, a huge black shadow flashed past Leviathan and disappeared into the darkness where the lantern could not reach.

It seemed that the night wasn't lonely.

Leviathan released a large number of floating lanterns, increasing the range of vision by several times. Lin carefully observed to see if the creature would appear again.

The Leviathan was still sinking slowly, seemingly defenseless. Sure enough, the black shadow appeared again. It instantly made a few lanterns lose their light. It seemed like they had been eaten.

As soon as the creature appeared, it ate the lanterns and fled into the darkness. Combined with the fact that the lanterns weren't very bright to begin with, Lin couldn't see it clearly.

But Lin could tell that it was a creature about the size of an aircraft carrier and was extremely fast. Lin noticed that the lanterns had died … from being torn apart by countless hooks.

This was a type of arthropod creature.

Most arthropods lay prone on the sand and moved very slowly, the most common trilobites were also like this.

This was the first time Lin had seen such a fast arthropod creature, so she felt that it was strange. Perhaps its internal structure would give Lin a pleasant surprise.

This arthropod creature didn't seem to be planning to attack the Leviathan directly, but instead swam around to catch the floating lanterns that Lin released.

Lin collected all the lanterns and created a unique type of lantern. Although this type of lantern also shone brightly on the outside, it was stuffed with a large number of exploding orbs.

Lin released a large number of lanterns mixed with exploding orbs. Not long after they left the Leviathan, one of them was eaten. Although Lin couldn't see through the darkness, the Leviathan's special sensory tentacles were able to sense the vibrations in the water.

The creature was constantly swinging its head around, the water flow it caused was completely detected by Lin. It seemed that it had been hit by something.

Following that, Lin released a unique type of bomb. Similar to the previous bombs, these bombs could be quickly swam around using a water spray system. They were also illuminated by orbs of light and had eyeballs at the front, they were called 'Photoconductive Bombs'!

Several Photoconductive Bombs flew towards the arthropod creature in the darkness. As they approached the target, Lin was able to clearly see the other party's appearance.

The creature's body was flat and oval, with a row of leaf-like appendages on both sides, which it seemed to rely on to swim. The head at the front had a pair of thick arthropods that curved inward, with many sharp barbs on them.

Let's call it a 'hookworm'.

It was currently swinging its head around in the water, it seemed that the bomb had affected it quite a bit. This was also the difference between Lin and other creatures. When other creatures felt pain, they would usually run away, go crazy, or do something strange to hasten their own death.

It was probably because the cells were constantly sending information back to the 'brain', causing the 'brain' to receive too much information, causing its behavior and thoughts to become abnormal. That is, if hookworms had a brain.

To Lin, the pain was only a signal that it was being attacked, it didn't affect its thoughts at all.

The eyeballs of the Photoconductive Bombs allowed Lin to see the hookworm's weakness – its gills.

Many creatures had gills, which were mainly used to absorb oxygen. They looked like cracks on the outside, but there were usually many soft tentacles and other structures inside.

It directly crashed into the hookworm's weakness. The intense liquid that burst out not only corroded the outer shell, but also seeped into the hookworm's gills.

The hookworm that was in pain immediately began to writhe in a frenzy. It seemed that attacking a weak point was very effective.

Lin relied on the Air Reservoir to collect oxygen from outside and then send it back to the airbag. All of the water spray openings also had the ability to open and close, so it never exposed its weakness to the outside world.

Lin suddenly realized that it liked to compare itself with other creatures recently, but it was indeed superior.

Lin continued to release a large number of Photoconductive Bombs, bombarding the hookworm continuously. Countless corrosive marks and wounds were blasted on its shell, but because the hookworm was moving, it wasn't easy for it to target its gills.

The hookworm that was under constant bombardment did not run away. Instead, it spread out its limbs and rushed towards Leviathan.

Did it know that the bombs were released by Leviathan? It was very smart for an arthropod creature.

The hookworm pounced on Leviathan and used the barbs on its limbs to scratch the carapace. Lin didn't do anything, it wanted to test the defensive ability of Leviathan's carapace to see if it could withstand the attack of such a large creature.

After trying for a while, the hookworm decided to retreat after realizing that it couldn't damage Leviathan's carapace. At that moment, Leviathan suddenly raised its tentacles and instantly wrapped around the hookworm's head.

Lin's tentacle muscles suddenly increased in strength. The carapace on the hookworm's head trembled under the force, cracks even appeared on it.

Although the hookworm struggled desperately, it couldn't escape from Lin's tentacles.

Just crush it like this.

Gulp …

What … is this feeling?

A strange feeling came from Lin's mind. The temperature of the water suddenly rose by a lot, and the entire water body seemed to be shaking.

Boom …

In an instant, the entire water body was as bright as day.

Isn't that great?

Red lava burst out from the huge rock at the bottom of the sea, and the entire seabed was shaking because of it.

That was the place Lin wanted to go before! During the day, it looked like a huge hole at the bottom of the water, but now it was spewing lava?

The light of the lava illuminated the dark water body. It flowed and spread to the surrounding seabed. All the creatures in the surrounding area desperately fled, and those who couldn't move were swallowed by the lava.

Lin's current position wasn't a threat. She still slowly crushed the hookworm's head into pieces, and then let the collector eat it.

Lin enjoyed the food while admiring the strange underwater scenery.

Along with the eruption of the lava, there were a large number of bubbles and smoke that Lin had seen before. They rose to the surface of the water along with the force of the eruption. Lin could clearly feel the high temperature brought by it.

Lin also saw that the hole was slowly bulging, but its movement only lasted for a short time before it stopped. At the same time, the eruption of lava also stopped.

The spreading speed of the surrounding lava also slowed down. The lava slowly stopped flowing, as if it was slowly solidified. The red light also began to dim, and finally disappeared completely. The water body returned to the darkness of the night.
