Chapter 699 Life Forbidden Zone - Mysterious Abyss
Once you enter a life restricted zone like this, no one knows what will happen, but it will definitely not be a good thing.
Qi Yuan retreated 20km before the surrounding sea returned to calm.
In the process, it can actually be found that the closer to the abyss, the fewer beasts there are, and the more bizarre they look.
For example, a strange fish covered with slime tentacles and blue all over; a strange shark with three heads and a cracked back; a strange sea beast with eyes all over its back, teeth turned outward, revealing bright red flesh;
There are also creatures with extremely uncoordinated bodies, strange octopus creatures with heads tens of meters in size and tentacles only a few meters long.
These strange body changes are not the product of natural evolution, but mutations forced to form under unknown forces.
At this time, everyone felt more and more cold on their backs, as if they had walked through the gates of hell.
Qi Yuan was also a little terrified: "It's really terrible. What changes have taken place in the sea here? How could such a terrifying situation occur?!"
On the side, Wei Xi's eyes were also full of doubts, and he speculated: "Is it a wonder? Or a special marine environment?"
Qi Yuan shook his head: "I can't be sure, but even if it is a wonder, it should not reach this level."
Although the deep-bottom vortex sand is strong, after he reaches the perfect level, he can also force his way into it with his strength, and to a certain extent ensure his own safety.
The same is true for thunder attribute wonders. He can even directly enter the thunder liquid.
Moreover, now it has been made directly into the energy supply core, and the danger is not high at all.
Not to mention the iceberg wonder in Zhaocheng, it has become an important outer layer of protection for Zhaocheng's shelter and has been fully utilized.
But the abyss in front of him exudes a completely different atmosphere, weird, dark, unknown, alienated...
Suddenly, Huo Tui said: "Boss, wonders are actually benchmarked against perfect-level resources. The wonders we have seen are probably only perfect-level, and this one may reach a higher level."
Qi Yuan's eyes flickered. This speculation makes some sense, but he can't be sure.
Because he knew too little information, he only had a quick glance and didn't know the specific situation at all.
But he only knew that he had to stay as far away as possible now!
Zhang Zhongyue quickly sent back the news that the four fleets had stopped moving forward and were now looking for a new route.
Finally, Zhang Zhongyue was responsible for opening the way, detouring from the edge of the abyss and leaving from another direction.
This detour took a full ten days!
The size of the abyss was far beyond everyone's imagination. It spread for at least hundreds of kilometers and was a real ocean giant!
But even so, everyone never planned to cross the abyss. Everyone had reached a consensus that even if the operation ended, they would not enter the abyss.
Because during the detour in the past few days, everyone was also attacked by strange marine creatures.
Compared with ordinary marine creatures, creatures infected by the abyss are more violent and aggressive, and their strange appearance did not weaken their strength, but made them stronger.
A rare eel-like creature, with seven or eight pupils around its head, slightly floating tentacles on its cheeks, and mucus all over its body, with a dark and terrifying aura.
Two days ago, Heather attacked Zhang Boyi's fleet, a frigate.
The moment the information came back, only screams of fear were heard from the other side, and then there was no movement.
From being attacked, to everyone's death, and finally to silence, it only took a few seconds.
When everyone found the wreckage of the ship, only the bodies of the crew members who died in a very miserable state were left.
But what's more terrifying is that when trying to salvage these bodies, the crew members themselves were instantly infected by the strange aura when they touched the bodies. Within a few seconds, their skin turned gray and began to fester on a large area, and finally even overflowed with mucus...
The final appearance... No one wants to recall it.
But fortunately, Heather was decisive enough to immediately stop others from approaching, and used remote means to clean up the crew member, and even cut off a piece of the deck of the ship.
This prevented the spread of the strange aura.
Once the news of this experience spread, it completely confirmed the horror and weirdness here. Everyone decided to stay away again and detour from a farther location.
For this reason, the original two-month voyage took nearly a month to sail less than 1/5 of the way.
Under the leadership of Zhang Zhongyue, the fleet finally spent a whole month, sailing nearly a thousand kilometers, and barely bypassed this abyssal sea area after greatly deviating from the route.
But even so, everyone still had lingering fears.
Not only was it the fear of this sea area, but also the fear of the endless ocean in the foggy world.
In the past, they had also encountered attacks by sea beasts or various ocean storms, but they were not afraid of them.
At most, the ship was destroyed and the people died. At most, they would rebuild the ship, have children again, and start all over again.
For them, these were not a problem.
But this time, they were taught a lesson that would be unforgettable.
It was very obvious that the following voyage had actually wasted a lot of time. Everyone still slowed down the speed and paid more attention to the detection of the surrounding environment.
Qi Yuan stayed in the small space and took out a large map, which had a lot of terrain depicted and a lot of information marked on it.
Among them were the conditions in human settlements, such as the locations of large gatherings, super gatherings, and the locations of some known shelters.
At the same time, some information in the unknown areas in all directions was marked, including the exploration of the southern ocean.
At this time, Qi Yuan roughly estimated the location of the strange abyss and marked it with red ink!
Then, after talking for a while, he wrote a name - Weird Dark Abyss!
After deviating from the route, Zhang Zhongyue led the entire fleet and continued to arrange a new route according to the location of the destination.
It is said to be a new route, but in fact it is just to drive straight forward and bypass it when encountering danger.
Anyway, all places are unknown areas for everyone. They don’t know any situation and everything is new.
At the same time, for safety reasons, Heather and Qi Yuan took the initiative to donate generously and each transported 3 frigates from the shelter again to conduct long-range detection in front of the large fleet.
At this time, other forces realized:
It is absolutely impossible to rely on a few perfect-class sea-breaking cloud boats to travel freely in the ocean.
Based on strength alone, there are so many marine creatures, and there are definitely many perfect-class creatures.
In terms of error tolerance, a single large ship, no matter how strong it is, is still not enough to face complex and ever-changing situations.
Just like what is happening right now, if there is no escort ship leading the way, the rear will definitely not be so safe.
