Chapter 188 Siren's Excavation Plan

Net》|》| provides you with wonderful novels to read.

As for what the "big squid" is, the Krakens themselves can't tell.

Regarding the forced landing in the ancient times, the memories of many Krakens are a bit vague. Although they are immortal elemental creatures, they can't remember things that are too old, but there is only one thing that the Krakens can be sure of. That is, the "big squid" on the bottom of the sea has existed since they crash-landed in this world with land.

It was the remains of a creature that was far older than ancient times. Its tentacles were winding like mountains on the seabed. The size of its body could be imagined. The sirens were initially shocked by the size of this corpse. , and have been afraid of this world for a long time. They worried that this strange world is full of such huge and terrifying life forms, but soon, they found that their worries seemed unnecessary.

The deep sea is full of protists weaker than them, and the "big squid" seems to be the only exception, and this powerful exception is dead.

The "big squid" was killed by some kind of external force, which can be seen from its broken body and the metal fragments left on the seabed, but the person who killed the "big squid" is a mystery. , the Krakens have never been able to find clues about that powerful race. Although they have also explored various continents, there are only some savage and backward indigenous civilizations on those continents, and those civilizations are not even capable of ocean navigation. Naturally, it is impossible to be a strong person who kills the "big squid".

After realizing that there is a "magic tide" that periodically destroys the ecosystem in this world, the Krakens gave up the search for that civilization more completely, and instead lived their lives in this ocean with peace of mind.

Digging the "big squid" is one of their most important jobs, and this job is part of restarting the core engine. Although the day of success is still far away, the sirens are creatures that are slow to the passage of time, like Like many elemental creatures, they also have ample patience and a poor sense of time. These characteristics have allowed them to successfully complete the transformation of civilization in the deep sea in the very long past, and now they are immersed in their own work. .

The excavation team came to the scheduled work site, and a huge flesh-and-blood wreck that fell off the tentacles lay quietly in a deep pit on the seabed. starting size, which means it's ready to dig again.

The sirens scattered around the flesh and blood tissue, and drove more than a dozen force field shielding generators deep into the seabed. The light blue energy barrier then blocked the entire area to prevent the "big squid" from escaping. The power that came out caused pollution of the waters, and then they worked in groups of three, carrying all kinds of equipment and began to cut this group of extremely high-strength flesh and blood tissue.

The excavation team leader patrolled around the periphery,

It's very important to see if the field occlusion generators are working properly, because these devices are barely working now, and all kinds of bizarre glitches are commonplace, and they can easily go wrong if you don't look carefully. .

But this is much better than it was many years ago, at least now that more and more devices are back up and running although the restart of the core engine is still a long way off...

The Kraken team leader went around to the back of the flesh and blood tissue. This is the target of the next excavation. She leaned over to the rough skin that looked like a stack of bark and fungi to check the regeneration of this part of the tissue.

But at this moment, the mass of flesh and blood tissue suddenly squirmed as if it had come to life!

Dark red blood gushed out from the wound, and the muscles and outer skin grew meanderingly. They quickly condensed into a small tentacle with strange patterns and bright edges, and squirmed frantically in front of the siren.

The patterns on the surface of the tentacles shone, and along with the twisting and squirming, they continued to show various strange and bizarre forms. Any ordinary mind would go crazy in front of these patterns, and even the most tenacious mortal warriors could not face them.

Captain Siren stared blankly at this tentacle, made a bold assumption, calmly analyzed, and decided to say hello to the other party as well.

So her body disintegrated and reorganized in an instant, and her shape changed in the blink of an eye, turning into a tentacle that was exactly the same as the other side, and also wriggled and curled up quickly on the seabed.

An indescribable tentacle and a tentacle mimicked by a siren danced ecstatically on the seabed for ten minutes. The two sides did not reach any consensus, and the three sirens who had completed their own excavation tasks had already swam over.

One of the sirens, who was carrying the oscillating cutter, poked the mimetic tentacle with the pestle on the seabed with the tip of his tail: "Captain, what you said just now, don't play too much with the big squid..."

The mimetic tentacle suddenly changed back to the appearance of a siren, looking a little embarrassed: "I thought it was greeting me..."

Another siren waving its tail curiously: "It is said that the big squid often has tentacles twisting and twisting... What does it mean?"

"Who knows, deep-water scholars have always thought that this is some kind of communication signal, but after so many years of deciphering, there is no result. I suspect that they are just twisting and twisting, just like seagrass."

"No, this is definitely a communication, but we just can't understand it," said the Kraken with a serious face on the cutting machine, "why are those people on land so excited when they see these tentacles? ? And yelling at these tentacles... that means there's communication!"

Captain Siren thought for a while, and the snake-shaped tail swayed: "Whatever, cut it off and take it away, who made it jump out of its own accord."

The Kraken, carrying the cutting machine, started the equipment in his hand, but before he started, he asked expectantly, "Then... can I eat a little?"

"emmmmm...the reactor fuel should have been collected...well, you can eat a little. But only a little!"

"yeah"

The rest of the Kraken cheered and rushed to their "lunch".

At the same time in Lord Cecil's mansion, Gawain and Pittman's discussion about the siren finally ended.

Pittman stroked his beard: "In general, sirens are such a legendary creature, there are only a few sighting reports, and every record cannot stand scrutiny. Their history is older than humans, and their lives are In the eastern part of the endless ocean, there may be occasional ashore behavior, but most of the time they will not leave the deep sea, nor communicate with land races such as humans. Sirens in the ocean are dangerous and will strictly protect their territory, any way Navigation in their territory will invite their attack, but now that all ocean routes have been cancelled, there is no need to worry about that."

Gawain frowned, looked at the biography of the knight in his hand, and sighed slightly: "Legendary species... It would be great if I could find a Kraken to communicate with. Okay. Let's not talk about this for now, I got a tie from Kant before. Have you checked the biological tissues that came back? What's the progress?"

Gawain took many samples with him when he left Kant's Collar, including the blood and flesh of the strange creatures in the underground hall that were connected to the human brain, and the soft, dark substances on the rectangular platform around the stone pillars that looked like "creep". , of course, the runes engraved on the stone pillars by the Eternal Sleeper cultists were also rubbed by him. Although all the runes were destroyed by Philip Knight, there are many stone pillars. Get the full pattern.

It's just that those magic circles are too dangerous and the mechanism is unknown. Gawain has not started research on them for the time being, but the dead flesh and blood tissue still hasn't rotted after returning to Cecil Land, so it was handed over to Pittman to study.

"As for those biological tissues, I have conducted a series of tests," Pittman nodded. "It has been confirmed that they have traces of magical transformation, and that Druid spells are involved. As you fear, Doomsday will cooperate with the Eternal Sleeper in the field of technology, and if they have the same cooperation with the Children of the Storm, the threat level of these cultists... I am afraid that it is beyond many people's imagination."

"I have already written a letter to Francis II, and I hope that the warning I gave myself will give that king more refreshments," Gawain rubbed his forehead. Their power is even more terrifying and terrifying than the End of All Things. Once they have penetrated, it will be difficult for outsiders to notice their existence. If I hadn't happened to swallow the consciousness of an Eternal Sleeper cultist, I'm afraid even I would not have realized it. What is unusual about Kant."

"That's what the king has to worry about," Pittman nodded. "In addition, when I tested the flesh and blood, I also found a clue that although they all have traces of magical transformation, this transformation is carried out the day after tomorrow. , which means they have natural prototypes."

"Natural archetype?" Gawain instantly realized what Pittman meant. "You mean, those weird biological tissues were transformed from some species that already existed in nature? Are there such weird species in the world?"

"Yes, the dementing octopus on the western coast of the dwarf kingdom, the swallowing monster near the peak of the ancestors, and several monsters related to shadows and undead power, they all have similar developed neural organs that can link and control the brain tissue of victims. , and in the tissue samples you brought back, I also found primitive structures similar to the above-mentioned monsters, which are obviously part of the raw materials. But these monsters are not powerful enough to kill so many humans The degree to which they are connected to create real dreams, and their races are very different, and it is impossible for conventional life-cultivation spells to fuse them, so I suspect that the cultists of the End of Everything may have made some breakthroughs in the field of life fusion. The progress has made it possible to splicing so many monsters together, and to create functional products that can be mass-produced."

"...This kind of cult masters the core technology, but the civilized society is still standing still, it's really annoying," Gao Wen sighed, "Don't you have any good news to tell me?"

Pittman looked a little embarrassed: "Yes, but you may not be too happy."

"What is it?"

"Those pieces of meat taste good after being braised..."

"vomit"
