Chapter 71 The Secret of the Amniotic Sea
After Eve finished speaking, the holographic projection suddenly displayed intense fluctuations, then said intermittently:
"E seems to have noticed something and is launching a full-scale counterattack! It's struggling fiercely, and my energy transmission is being affected. I estimate I'll disappear for a while. Remember, just notify me when you find the place. ."
After saying this, Eve disappeared from Fang Senyan's sight, but the question she posed really troubled Fang Senyan. How was he supposed to climb up to the energy absorption device installed in the sky?
It was said that some contractors grew wings and gained the ability to fly when they became Awakened, but Fang Senyan clearly did not possess such abilities!
The spectacle of myriads of mayflies flying in the sky lasted for at least half an hour. After the mayflies mated, they actually injected all their life force into their eggs and would, of course, die immediately. For a time, the corpses of the mayflies fell like rain, then landed on the plants on the island, where they decayed and were absorbed as nutrients. If they fell into the water, they would quickly dissolve like sugar or salt, returning to nothingness.
Of course, many creatures also came to directly devour the corpses of these mayflies, and then these creatures were hunted by the apex predators of the food chain! According to Eve, the regular mayfly tides could provide the basic daily life energy of the E space, and these powerful creatures that were raised were like storage batteries. Once high energy consumption was encountered, the E space would immediately strip them of their lives to replenish energy.
Seeing this scene, Fang Senyan suddenly thought that if he didn't have the protection of the mother space, then he would definitely be directly drained of his life force, turning into a dried corpse or a zombie! In the face of the power of the space, his own strength was indeed very small, it could be said to be insignificant!
At this time, he tried his best to extend his sensory tentacles upwards to the maximum, but still gained nothing. Fang Senyan endured his nausea, jumped into the amniotic fluid sea, climbed onto the algae island, and searched carefully, but still found nothing.
Just as he was feeling clueless, suddenly, a soft sound interrupted Fang Senyan's thoughts. Logically speaking, Fang Senyan shouldn't have been able to feel this soft sound, because in the current environment, the amniotic fluid sea was still gently rippling, and there was also wind, and the sound of leaves rubbing.
However, now that Fang Senyan was an Executor, the laws of nature's sounds had been firmly imprinted in his mind, so the strange sound that was not made by nature felt especially clear.
He immediately jumped up and leaped towards the surface of the water. During the leap, his right hand grabbed several vines to adjust his posture for impacting the water, and then he plunged into the amniotic fluid sea. The posture of entering the water and the smallness of the splashing water could almost be said to be silent. The powerful physical attributes of the contractor and Fang Senyan's own experience combined were enough to make any world diving champion ashamed!
After entering the water, Fang Senyan's squinted eyes immediately caught a black shadow, which was rapidly diving into the depths of the ocean.
"What did this black shadow come here for?" Fang Senyan realized in a flash that he couldn't catch up, but he turned his head and immediately realized that the bottom of the algae island was composed of large clumps of flocculent material. The closer it was to the surface of the water, the denser it was, and the black shadow seemed to have come out from the depths below the algae island.
Although Fang Senyan couldn't catch up with the black shadow, it was no problem for him to investigate what was happening under the island. He swam in the direction, but suddenly realized that the flocculent light green filamentous material quickly rolled over and wrapped around his body, like the tentacles of a jellyfish! The place where he was entangled immediately transmitted a feeling like being electrocuted, and then there was a scorch mark! Even the flocculent material turned yellowish and then died. They themselves couldn't withstand the damage from their own secretions.
These filaments were actually carrying poison and were extremely resilient! Fortunately, these tricks were completely negligible for Fang Senyan. The Sun Ladder's resistance to toxins was not just for show, and the resilient flocculent material could only end up being broken into pieces under Fang Senyan's brute force. However, Fang Senyan spent a long time and still didn't find anything of value.
Continuous setbacks were not a big deal for Fang Senyan. On the contrary, he vaguely captured a hidden clue! Yes, why hadn't he found anything of value? The reason was simple, the black shadow came to take the valuable thing! The reason he couldn't find it was because the clue had been taken away!
After knowing the reason, Fang Senyan immediately swam towards the other islands. When he wasn't a contractor, diving underwater for four or five minutes wasn't a problem, let alone now with hundreds of points of stamina, plus a title bonus? If he was thrown into the water, he probably wouldn't drown for two or three hours.
When he probed the third island, Fang Senyan finally discovered the hidden secret. It turned out that the root systems of the trees on each island were connected. Because they didn't need to flower or bear fruit, they only needed to grow leaves for the mayflies to use. The remaining life energy produced by photosynthesis would condense in the center of the root system. When the amount was large enough, the mysterious black shadow would naturally appear from the deep
sea to harvest it.
Now that he knew the reason, although Fang Senyan was very curious about the condensed life orb, he didn't dare to act rashly. He knew that he was like a rogue who had activated stealth in the sixties, squatting eagerly next to a treasure chest containing the Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker, but the Great Magmadar was glaring at him from the side! Any movement would definitely mean death!
Once he moved the life orb, Noah Space E would become alert. Fang Senyan being captured was almost a certainty, so he could only suppress his curiosity and silently wait for the life orb to slowly grow and mature.
Soon, because the life orb that Fang Senyan chose to condense was already close to maturity, the sensory tentacles that he sank into the depths of the seabed discovered the black shadow that came to collect the fruit.
This thing was a fish-like toad, or a toad-like fish. Its whole body was light black, without scales, but its streamlined body looked very slippery.
This creature had a toad-like mouth, and it could successfully prevent the life orb from falling or being damaged by holding it in its mouth. Two extremely sturdy legs and a thick tail could provide ample kinetic energy, and its swimming speed was extremely fast.
Fang Senyan hesitated slightly and then realized that the diving black shadow had disappeared. If his sensory tentacles hadn't been wrapped around it, he would have completely lost control of this thing. If it had been any other contractor, then their natural fear of the deep sea would have prevented them from following. However, for Fang Senyan, who had been struggling in the sea since he was ten years old, there was no such innate fear. In addition, relying on his sensory tentacles, which could reach a length of two kilometers under focus, he gritted his teeth and followed.
However, Fang Senyan soon regretted it, because when he dived to three hundred meters, he suddenly realized one thing. It wasn't that he couldn't withstand the pressure of the seawater, but that the deeper he dived, the faster the current below became, as if there was a huge vortex under the entire ocean. Furthermore, the power of the vortex increased very slowly, like boiling a frog in warm water. By the time he felt the water was hot, he was already deep in a conspiracy.
"Damn it!" Feeling the increasing suction force transmitted from his body, Fang Senyan decisively stopped his ineffective resistance and simply conjured up the massive weapon, the Giant Wrench. When he was really forced to, he could only risk everything.
After being dragged down by the vortex for nearly two or three kilometers, the water pressure was already astonishingly high. At this time, not to mention ordinary people, even contractors with digitized bodies felt very strenuous. Fortunately, Fang Senyan was a stamina specialist. Apart from feeling a little tight in his skin, he didn't feel any discomfort.
It was pitch black in the deep sea, but soon, a faint light appeared in front of Fang Senyan, which was especially clear in the deep darkness. When he got closer, he realized that it was actually a giant, strange fish, growing long whiskers. At the end of the whiskers was a phosphorescent ball, and the phosphorescent ball would occasionally attract curious fish, which would automatically be sent to the monster's mouth and eaten in one bite.
However, the monster fish was already located on the seabed. When Fang Senyan arrived here, he suddenly felt all the pressure disappear. The power of the vortex was originally like a rope, firmly bound to his body, but at this time, it had completely dissipated. Following the light emitted by the monster fish, he saw the shadows of buildings on the seabed and immediately swam towards them.
In less than five minutes, Fang Senyan had entered a place called "Sea Base Station Number 1374". Its function was to collect the life energy produced by the islands within a radius of one thousand square kilometers and store the excess life energy.
Yes, storing those unused life energy. This meant that the mayfly egg life energy absorbed by the sky above would eventually be collected here! So, in fact, the secret Eve wanted Fang Senyan to find was not in the sky, but on the seabed. The sky above actually only had a kind of refracting mirror focusing umbrella. Once it absorbed enough life energy, it would bombard it into the storage device of the sea base station like a particle cannon.
More importantly, Fang Senyan obtained first-hand terrifying information. In this world, there were sixteen thousand seven hundred base stations, and the entire Noah Space E possessed a total of seven hundred and thirty-six worlds of this kind, which were called "Life Core Engines"!!
