4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

Vol 2 Chapter 23: Abyssal gap

In the calm and boundless waters, huge creatures are slowly moving forward in a floating way...

The life of the base was calm and boring, so Lin turned his attention to Leviathan.

From the start to the present, two days and nights have passed. Leviathan has swam through the vast gray beaches and the seabed made up of stones. Unlike before, Lin is mainly going deeper.

Leviathan has now reached a new place, which is also a beach, but the sand is finer and white, and there is a creature that has never been seen before.

They look like the inverted jellyfish, sticking to the sand with a short, round body and capturing the prey with a lot of long, stinging tentacles.

Lin knows a word to name them... 'sea anemones'.

Anemone is a fairly simple creature with no vascular heart. There is a digestive sac in the center of the body that is responsible for digesting the food brought by the tentacle.

Lin, who has no research value at all, does not like to eat such creatures, because they usually have no content after removing the stinger.

Leviathan lowered the height of the swim and slowly floated on the beach. Lin called the tentacle with a mouth under it called 'Bite Bitings', but like the Devourer, it was only used to bite things. Not responsible for digesting food.

Leviathan generally does not use his own eyeballs, but is responsible for observation by the eyeball floating around it.

Lin suddenly saw that there was movement in the gravel below.

Leviathan jerked out his tentacles, biting something in the sand, and then pulled it out.

It is a trilobite.

There are many types of trilobites. This is the fifth type that Lin sees. This special small, thin shell is also very thin. The mouth that bites the tentacles can completely bite it in the mouth and crush it.

The shells and cells scattered by the bitten trilobites, Lin will release a kind of collection called the collector to collect, which is about the size of the devourer. This creature is mainly a worm-like structure, and the whole is very flexible. Sex, can swallow a lot of food, expand into a ball, the body is filled with a strong solution, responsible for swallowing food and then dissolved, and finally return the nutrients to Leviathan.

Collectors can also attack the lysate in the body, although they are not designed to attack.

After eating the trilobite, Leviathan moved on. The fat stored in it was enough. Lin planned to travel for a long time and did not stop in the middle.

Lin mainly wants to see some special environments that it has never seen before.

The sprinkler system was running faster, Leviathan swam quickly on the white sand, but it quickly stopped, because the environment that I had never seen before suddenly appeared in front of it.

The beach in front of us seems to have been cut into two sections. A huge rift appears in front of Lin, and its length is enough to extend beyond Lin's field of vision, and the width is enough to put down the Levia.

Lin has never seen this kind of landscape... Is this a 'sea trench'?

Lin found that the recent new words seem to be relatively boring, what trenches, there is no momentum, it is better to call the Rift.

... What is the momentum? No matter what.

Leviathan swam over the trench, and the floating eyeball looked down. I saw that the crack had stretched straight down until the light could not reach the dark abyss.

Do you want to go down and see?

Lynn is hesitant, but isn’t it a journey to explore the unknown?

Go on!

Leviathan slowly descended, and a lot of anemones were stuck on the rock walls on both sides of the trench. There were also some small trilobites swaying beside them. There were also many single-celled creatures floating in the water. It seems that this is also a rich creature. The area.

After a while, the light around Leviathan was getting darker and darker. Lin released the lanterns that were swimming. This unfixed light allowed Lin to see everything around him.

As you get closer to the depths of the trench, the fewer creatures around you, until it becomes dark like the night, it is difficult for Lynn to see anything other than a single cell.

Lin did not stop and continued to move deeper into the darkness. It released more lanterns. These small spots of light found some creatures like sea anemones on the rock wall.

They have an anemone-like tentacles, but the body below is not thick and round, but a small long handle. It doesn't seem to be called an anemone, but a new name like 'sea lily'. .

I feel that this name is quite good.

Leviathan swims close to the rock wall and wants to pull one to eat and see, and when Lin is close, they will instantly retract into the crack.

The rock wall of the trench is not generally hard, it seems that this is not eaten.

There are many sea lilies on the rock wall here. Lin found that they are different in kind and some will not shrink.

Lin studied their interest is not very big, Leviathan continues to dive deep, it wants to see if there is anything else interesting.

As Leviathan descended deeper, Lin found a problem that could be called 'stress'.

Floating small eyeballs and lanterns first felt this feeling, they became difficult to move, as if they were squeezed by powerful forces, and some even died directly because they could not withstand the pressure.

Where does this pressure come from? It seems to be everywhere, is it... the reason for water?

Lin reclaimed them all and opened a hole in the edge of Leviathan's disc-shaped shell, which had the eye of Leviathan itself.

It is protected by a transparent shell that protects it from damage, but limits its view because it is not free to move.

Lin also released a lantern that covered the hard shell to resist the pressure in the water.

But as we go deeper, the effect of stress becomes more and more obvious. Even Leviathan itself is affected. The swimming mode of water absorption and water spray becomes more and more difficult, even in the shell of Leviathan. Road cracks.

The pressure is terrible.

It seems that I can't continue to go down, but Lynn doesn't want to give up. It has calculated how this pressure works, and knows which structure can resist this pressure.

Of course, Lin didn't want to change the structure of Leviathan, so it created a new type of arm. Its body is oval, the interior is filled with water, and there is a thick shell outside the body. This unit does not have any swimming ability. As soon as it was released by Leviathan, it sank into the depths of the trench along with gravity.

This shape should be effective against pressure, but the most basic resistance to stress is to fill the inside with the same substance as the surrounding pressure, so no matter how much power is not pressed.

Leviathan went back, and Lin had to repair the wound on it. As for the exploration at the bottom of the trench, he gave it to the elliptical little thing.

It is called the 'warhead'.

After a while, when Leviathan quickly emerged from the trench, the ‘warhead’ also heard the feeling of colliding with something, and it seemed to have sunk to the deepest.

At this time, the shells on both sides of the body of the warhead opened, and a total of six limbs were extended from the legs. The legs were filled with water, so they were not crushed by pressure, and their heads also opened two holes, one Eyeballs and a lantern appear in it at the same time.

Both the eyeballs and the lanterns are covered by a thin transparent shell, and the shell is filled with water. This way, it can effectively resist the pressure. Now the ‘warhead’ has no cracks.

It moved the small joints around the body and began the journey of this dark abyss.

Because the body of the warhead is full of water, it occupies the position where it should be placed on the muscles or blood vessels, so the speed of movement is not fast enough, but it is only used for exploration, and it does not need too fast speed.

The ground at the bottom of the trench is made up of rocks. Under the lanterns of the warhead, some single-celled creatures first entered Lin's field of vision.

Sure enough, they are everywhere? In addition to land.

Lin found that this kind of trench cells are much bigger than the above, and it is also a water-filled compression structure.

When Lin was studying them, the light suddenly jerked in the distance, and the brightness far exceeded the light emitted by the warhead itself, which seemed to be caused by a huge creature.
