Chapter 255: Extraordinary Life in the Deep Sea 2

Our Apartment Complex Transmigrated… Again

Qin Ziwen felt someone pat his shoulder. He turned around and saw his younger brother opening his mouth, "Gurgle... gulp..."

He gestured with his hands, his finger pointing in another direction.

Qin Ziwen followed his direction and looked.

In the cave of the reef next to them, a yellow-brown eel with cloud-like patterns was poking half its body out of the reef cave, staring at them.

Qin Ziwen subconsciously raised his harpoon, but then remembered this was the sea, and the scent of blood could spread very far.

It might attract some large fish, so he gave up on the idea and retracted the harpoon.

His movement caught the attention of the others around him. Yuan Ming turned his head and only then noticed the eel not far behind him.

He was startled. When he passed by the coral reef earlier, there was no eel. This eel had appeared stealthily at some unknown time.

Realizing it had been discovered by its target, the eel slowly retracted its body, its flat form hiding within the crevices of the coral reef.

Yuan Ming took out his harpoon, ready to teach it a lesson, when his shoulder was patted.

He turned his head and saw it was Old Cao who had patted him. Following Old Cao's pointing finger, he saw that Guild Leader Qin and the others had already moved far ahead.

He hurriedly chased after them, his limbs paddling in the water like a large turtle desperately trying to catch up.

Walking along the seabed, the sand beneath their feet grew increasingly coarse, and the path ahead suddenly broke off.

Looking down along the seawater, it was a deep trench.

About three to four meters wide.

In his perception, the area ahead was chaotic.

Chaotic like a congested intersection.

Crosscurrents, downwellings, upwellings, swirling currents, turbulent undercurrents.

He made a hand gesture.

Instructing the people behind him to follow closely, he swam upward for a distance before swimming across the trench at its widest point.

In his perception, the currents here were relatively stable.

Crossing the trench, they arrived at the deep reef area. He clearly felt the surrounding light shift from blue to a dim blue-gray.

Visibility dropped significantly.

The water temperature also noticeably decreased.

Starting from here, the surrounding seabed scenery underwent a dramatic change.

Interestingly, Qin Ziwen found that the seabed environment didn't seem to change uniformly or gradually, but rather exhibited a distinct "vertical stratification" phenomenon.

It seemed that upon reaching a certain depth, the surrounding environment would abruptly change.

A dark red starfish, as large as a table, was crawling stealthily along the ground.

He had never seen such a large starfish before and threw an Insight at it.

【Ordinary · Crown-of-Thorns Starfish: ☆☆☆☆☆】

It had reached the limit for an ordinary individual.

It seemed that even among starfish, reaching such a size was rare.

Walking forward along this seabed, the surrounding light grew darker and darker, but visibility was still barely maintained at about three to four meters.

Beyond this distance, looking further into the distance, one could only see a blurry shadow.

Not far away, a shadow approached.

Judging by its size, its volume was probably not small.

Seeing Qin Ziwen stop moving, the people behind him swam over one after another, raising their harpoons beside him.

The shadow ahead circled around the group for a while before finally slowly approaching.

It was a shark about four to five meters long.

Cao Biansheng took the hand crossbow from his back and aimed it at the shark.

Du raised the spear in his hand.

As if sensing this group of humans wasn't easy to bully.

The shark circled around the group for a while before slowly swimming away.

After it had gone far enough, everyone quietly let out a sigh of relief.

The sea wasn't land; they were far less agile here. Moreover, the Guild Leader had instructed them that their purpose this time was to scout the surroundings and search for the seabed altar. If they clashed with this shark, it might attract other troubles.

After a moment's consideration, Qin Ziwen decided to continue walking forward along the seabed.

The area where the Mosasaur and Plesiosaur had fought was to the north of the island reef.

So when they entered the sea, they had chosen the south side of the island reef.

This was also to reduce the probability of encountering it.

Continuing forward, the water grew deeper and deeper.

Until the seabed ahead was completely enveloped in darkness, like a bottomless abyss.

Only then did Qin Ziwen stop.

They couldn't go any further.

When they first descended, everything around them felt fresh, but after a while, he felt the scenery of the seabed was just so-so.

Mainly because visibility wasn't high, and everything around was gray and hazy, with only sparse blue light reaching here.

Perhaps because the light was relatively dim, most of the aquatic life here had rather... unrestrained appearances.

Since the light was poor and everyone couldn't see each other clearly anyway.

So they just grew however they pleased.

Changing direction, he headed straight to the right.

Suddenly, Qin Ziwu waved his arms and legs excitedly, fiercely patting Qin Ziwen's shoulder, as if he had discovered something.

Following the direction of his finger, Qin Ziwen saw diagonally ahead, amidst the coarse sand, two clusters of coral reef flanking a giant that had opened its shell.

A flash of surprise and doubt crossed his eyes.

This thing was huge, nearly two meters tall, so large it felt unreal.

Like a sculpture in a shopping mall.

He had heard these things sometimes contained pearls. Did this one have one too?

Qin Ziwen kicked his legs and swam closer.

As the distance decreased, Qin Ziwen saw within its opened folds, something like a fist-sized round object seemed to be embedded.

And it seemed to be emitting a faint blue glow.

Before he could get a clear look,

"Boom~"

The giant clam shell instantly snapped shut.

A dull impact sound spread through the water, stirring up a vortex.

This guy was so sensitive.

It closed before he even got close.

Qin Ziwen threw an Insight at it.

【Superhuman · Glow Clam: ☆☆☆☆★】(Level 1 Spirit Pearl Nurturing, Level 1 Hard Shell)

This damn thing was actually a superhuman creature?!

That Mosasaur and Plesiosaur earlier weren't superhuman, yet this "pocket-sized" clam had achieved superhuman status ahead of them.

A flash of astonishment crossed Qin Ziwen's eyes.

Suddenly, Qin Ziwen thought of something, and a strange glint flashed in his eyes.

Chitu's breakthrough superhuman task seemed to have found its mark.

Chitu's superhuman task required hunting a superhuman creature whose weight exceeded the combined weight of him and Chitu, and doing so without getting injured.

This clam alone was two meters tall, looking extremely solid and heavy. Its weight was probably not low.

In terms of weight, it should meet the requirement.

And judging by its species, it was clear it wasn't adept at combat.

After all, it was just a clam.

One couldn't expect a clam to grow limbs to fight people, could they?

Although it felt a bit like bullying its species, there was no time to worry about that!

Qin Ziwen decided to go back now and call Chitu over.

Then Chitu would enter the sea, man and horse united, to help it complete the superhuman task.

Qin Ziwen waved his hand, gesturing for a good while before everyone finally understood his meaning. The main group would stay nearby, while two people would accompany him to surface.

Normally, returning from the deep sea to the surface requires a gradual process with decompression stops.

But after Qin Ziwen's physical constitution broke through to superhuman, he possessed extremely strong recovery power.
