The Record of Unusual Creatures

Hao Ren is completely immersed in the world of spiritual spirit. His consciousness is sinking with the power of chaos. The oldest historical memory of the Kraken emerges in the depths of this chaos, and it becomes more and more clear. .

He saw that the dexterous creatures in the deep sea opened their minds and saw them with amazement and awe, to study the metal meteorites that occasionally fell from the dark sea, and to study how these hard stones formed. They dig through the sand, weave the seaweed, and open up their homes in this dark water world, which is slightly illuminated by algae shimmering, and are curious about everything. In the 5,000th year of the Iron Age, they finally realized how to separate metals from the deep-sea rocks they dug: in this place away from the flames, they used water and chemical power.

The ore is crushed by a stream of water, and the metal is refined by an element method to produce an alloy that does not corrode. The Kraken is freed from the limited gifts of the meteorites, using his own hands to create new metal tools, building the oldest dynasty, and writing the words on those alloys that have not been rotted for a long time, writing the first in history. page.

However, while this young civilization was a toddler in the deep sea, their endeavours, the endless sea of ​​Aiou, also heavily covered the kingdom. The Krakens are awe-inspiring to the endless dark waters above, but curious. Just like the inevitable stage that all intelligent races have to experience: they also want to know what the dark side is opposite.

When the first Kraken became interested in it and put it into practice. It is already a thousand years after the establishment of the first dynasty.

But exploring shallow waters is dangerous. The deep-sea environment is very different from the shallow waters, where there is a huge water pressure – a particularly comfortable water pressure for the Kraken. But it is not the case in the shallow water. The ancient sermons of the Kraken warn the young adventurers who are eager to move, telling them that the endless dark sea is opposite to the world of “nothingness”. As they move closer to the “world edge”, the closeness of matter will decrease and everything will be in contact with each other. Separation, the Kraken itself is no exception. Just like the warriors who tried to send the 陨 iron back to the "world edge" in the tribal era and have no return, no pirate can cross the mysterious dark waters.

However, once the heart of exploration is ignited, it will not go out. Young scholars are still studying how to travel to the edge of the world. They constantly improve elemental magic and use magic to change their physique. Let them adapt to the water pressure in the shallow waters, they continue to send a batch of explorers, the determination to die to hit the dark seas hanging overhead.

The explorers who come back will bring back incredible things: animals and plants living in the upper waters, and this makes scholars believe that there is also a field in the opposite direction of the dark sea. There is another bustling world.

In the 2,000th year after the establishment of the First Dynasty, a young Kraken led her little expedition to challenge this limit. They used a hundred years to transform their physique, and spent three full days applying various kinds of protective magic to them, and then marched toward the dark sea. They swam the farthest distance, crossed the waters that the predecessors had never reached, and left those wonderful shallow aquatic plants behind them. As they continue to rise, they feel that the water elements that make up their bodies are becoming more unstable, but the more incredible sights are beginning to be uploaded from the top:

Opposite the dark sea, there is light.

The original phenomenon of "light" is not unique to the deep sea.

They were pleasantly surprised to share their new discoveries. I began to rush to the sea more hard, so I didn't even care about how the water in my body changed. They are heading towards the bright world that has never been seen before, and they are eager to swim. Struggling to swim, and finally crossed a layer of "material boundaries" - at that time, they did not know that the thing is called "water surface."

An incomparably vast, bright, restless world is presented to these explorers.

But they only had time to take a look, because in a second, they all turned into gas because of the pressure collapse.

Elemental creatures are not in the conventional sense, in the absence of control skills. They have no idea how to maintain their high density in the air world.

It is already hundreds of years after the Kraken knows how to be active in the air world.

Hao Ren’s spirit is in a wonderful state. He is traversing the entire history of the Kraken, but he can hardly feel the flow of time. It is as if the span of the millennium and the eternal memory is spread out in front of his own eyes, and it will be clear at a glance. He saw that the Krakens finally came to the world on the sea level and began to carefully explore the air world that was “empty, vast and unstable” for them. In the process, he seemed to have faintly inducted Iraq. The thoughts of the baby, he understood what the spirit of the Kraken is thinking.

The Krakens have used thousands of years to build stable passages and various observation platforms that can reach the surface of the sea. The sea of ​​Io, covering the entire planet, requires them to work dozens of times more than other races to see the sky. They used the unimaginable patience of ordinary races to adapt to the storms and lightning on the sea level, and even reinvented their own life forms. The most outstanding observer of them, Ivya, waited for seven hundred years on the platform to greet a clear sky. When the "starry sky" is a vast and astonishing thing presented to the Krakens, it Almost scared everyone.

It was not until 1700 years later that they realized that there was not only a starry sky behind the clouds, but also a sun: it was the second day of clearing.

It is more important to understand that "alternating around the clock" is more important.

Everything that the Kraken does has to work harder than other races. The special natural environment of this planet makes it impossible for them to understand what they should study and what they are studying like ordinary races. Lightning, waves, waves And the unstable atmosphere makes it difficult for any primitive race to be at sea level. At the same time, they have to give more energy to adjust their life forms. The life form of “deep sea elemental creatures” makes them born to be limited, and they spend almost more energy on the transformation than on the world.

But they still did not stop to explore outwards, and they continued to move outwards outside the world - their reasons were not so noble. They didn't even think of the saying "star sea".

They just want to go out and want to see if there is a sea like the hometown in other places.

In the fourth thousand years after Ivina observed the starry sky, the Krakens created an aircraft that could pass through the storms of Ioa—incapable of firing, lightning, and storms, even the initial aerodynamic studies could not It is not easy to develop flying tools in the world of progress. Of course, it can be said that their talents in this area are dull, but what about it?

Anyway, they can finally watch the stars. They are very happy about this.

Hao Ren felt that his consciousness began to rise and float, and he saw the space age of the Kraken. Seeing these magical creatures try to launch detectors to find the sea on other planets, seeing them build a seat on their own orbit, and cast a curious line of sight on the wider universe, seeing...

A group of space warships of unknown origin suddenly came to Aiou. In an inexplicable chaotic war, the kingdoms of the Krakens collapsed until the entire planet was swept by some kind of energy storm weapon like the global emp, and the Kraken civilization was completely destroyed.

There is no reason to destroy it.

The storm on the sea of ​​Ao Ou is getting worse and stronger, huge lightning sweeps across the sky, and the waves of the ice are rushing. Shakira and the other three Krakens worked hard to maintain control of a small piece of water. She looked at the center of the water: "When is he good? I don't feel Eva has any signs of calming down!"

Nangong quickly sneaked into the water in May, and confirmed the state of Hao Ren and then came up again: "He is still connected! I watched him connect with the brains several times, I know this state... It looks very smooth. !"

Soma muttered: "I don't think it's going well."

Another storm surged. A mountain-like tsunami rushed toward the crowd, and the Queen of the Kraken raised his hands high to block the tsunami, and she couldn’t help but prepare to see Hao Ren’s state in person. The latter suddenly came out of the water.

Hao Ren blinked and saw the storm and the huge waves outside. He looked at the violent underwater world with a sly look. The thinking seemed to be so rigid for a century. Until the Nangong tour in May, he muttered to himself: "She is crying."

"What?" Nangong did not hear it in May.

"She is crying," Hao Ren looked up at the sky and looked at the arms that were exploring the space. "Eva, she is crying. She is still just a child."

The sound of violent storms whispers in the ear, the world is filled with roaring roars, endless anger, annoyance, and hatred are mixed in the storm like the essence, almost destroying the people who are in it. However, this time, Hao Ren realized something else from these violent voices and breaths: Eva's crying.

For a civilization, Eva is still only a child. She was at a loss, she was not ready for anything, she just knew the breadth and grandeur of the world, but everything stopped so unreasonably.

It took her so long to climb out of the cradle. She used the patience and time of other races to see the world above her head. She had to pay dozens of times to complete the usual achievements in other races— - Although she may not be aware of this, in any case, Aiou's dozens of kilometers of ocean, endless turbulent atmosphere, clouds that will not dissipate for thousands of years, all these things are hard to come by. As soon as she overcame, she climbed out of the deep sea so hard - but everything stopped so unreasonably.

Eva didn't even know what was going on, so she died on her own cradle.

So she refused the fact that the immortal soul of the Kraken allowed her to survive the end of the world and instead squatted on the planet in a state similar to "residual". She was like a child who had been robbed of a toy, attacking everything in confusion and anger, and crying loudly.

"I never thought that racial awareness can be this state..." Hao Ren didn't know how to explain what he saw and experienced. He could only shake Shakeira's head. "In fact, the collapse of civilization is everywhere." All, but few individuals like 'Eva' will appear. She feels helpless about her own destruction. Very sad, she is just venting dissatisfaction... and perhaps the last time she vented."

"What should we do?" The Queen of the Kraken looked at Hao Ren at a loss. "Is there any way to... comfort her?"

At this time, the communication channel suddenly heard the call of the data terminal: "You are not good! The situation here is not very good!"

Hao Ren looked at the Queen of the Kraken. I took another look at the Nangong in May and nodded hard. "Give me another few minutes. In addition, you two come over, I need your help."

The two said in unison: "What help?"

"Just stay with me," Hao Ren reached out to grab the Queen of the Sea and the hand of the South Palace in May. "Let us connect and let Eva feel your presence."

After saying this, regardless of the confused look on the two sea monster faces. Hao Ren once again established a connection with Eva.

The sense of chaos came again, and this time Hao Ren more clearly sensed Eva's consciousness. It is a sensational feeling. It is almost impossible to confirm whether it is a consciousness or just a pretentious memory, but Hao Ren is willing to believe that the situation belongs to the former. In the state of chaos, he can only vaguely feel that Nangong May and the Queen of the Kraken are by his side. This is the only problem: the two Krakens do not have the ability to connect with the spirit, and the Eva in the frenzy can sense Go to them?

"Eva!" Hao Ren concentrated. He made a call in his mind, but soon he realized that the name "Eva" was also given by the Krakens. The spirit of the Kraken may not know what it means: she hasn't had time to give her a name.

However, the miracle is that the chaotic spirit of power seems to have responded to the word "Eva". Hao Ren feels that there is something in the dark that is paying attention to himself.

Perhaps the Krakens had a legend about "Eva" before they fled Ao, so as the spirit of the Kraken of all the Krakens, she knew that she was called "Eva."

Hao Ren once again concentrated: "Eva, I know you can hear my voice... Don't be afraid, I am not malicious to you. I just want to help you. I know what you have experienced, I deeply sympathize with it. Many civilizations can't escape the fate of death. You are not..."

A burst of violent thoughts suddenly struck, and there was a wave of unrest in the chaos.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this..." Hao Ren quickly reorganized the language, "Eva, Eva, quiet down. I just want to show you something - in fact, you have not failed, in a sense You have continued, and you are farther away than anyone else. Eva, through me, you should be able to sense the breath of two compatriots..."

Hao Ren calmed down and reduced his sense of thought to a minimum, so that Eva could sense the presence of other Krakens on the scene through his own medium. Because of the frenzy, Eva has lost the ability to sense other Krakens, so Hao Ren must make himself a temporary sense of Eva.

He felt that this attempt should work.

Eva’s mood gradually calmed down and curiously focused on the situation here.

"An ark has successfully escaped from Aiou and came to another world," Hao Ren said silently to Eva. "I am the messenger from there. My duty is to supervise and evaluate the development of civilization. I want to tell You, the Kraken civilization still exists, you have continued in another world. Notice that there is a special Kraken around me? Her bloodline is a Kraken, but she should have a special atmosphere - she is What was born in that world is proof that you have taken root in another world..."

The call from the data terminal in the communication channel: "Boss! The situation is getting better! The water is slowly recovering!"

Hao Ren did not respond, but continued to communicate with Eva: "Eva, don't be sad, don't cry, bad time has passed, everything will be fine."

A light is shining in the darkness of chaos, and a vague figure emerges from the light. Hao Ren looked at the illusion in surprise. He heard a voice rang in his ear: "... Is there a sea there?"

“Yes, big, beautiful, and we have land – it is the rock and soil that highlights the sea. The Krakens occasionally go to the land to play, but they spend most of their time in the sea.”

"Are they happy?"

"There is still no competition, no worries, and a little trouble recently, but I solved the problem easily. You see, I took them home to see you after solving the trouble."

After a century-long silence, the light slowly dissipated and a sigh came: "Thank you, I can finally sleep..."

All the illusions faded like the tide, Hao Ren opened his eyes, saw the storm stop, the clouds spread, and Io ushered in the clear sky once in a thousand years, the real clear sky.

The stars hung in the sky, and people couldn't help but think that many years ago, the sea monster named Ivya stood on the ancient observatory and looked at the scene in amazement.

These stars must have scared her.

Thousands of tons of seawater began to return to Io's surface under the traction of Eva's last force. This spectacular scene was thrilling in space. Hao Ren couldn't see it on the surface of the planet, but he could still imagine everything.

An arch-like water arc slowly slipped from the eyes of Hao Ren and the Krakens, and Shakira pointed in surprise: "Look! There are still living creatures!"

A pale gold fish jumped out of the water arc and slid into the air and returned to the sea.

It miraculously survived the terrible space journey and finally went home safely.

Hao Ren sighed and looked down at the calm sea below his feet:

"Good night, Eva."
