Chapter 336: Turtle Jellyfish

POSTED ON MARCH 7, 2023 BY KEN

Fang Linyan and Goat’s eyes widened suddenly. The shell of this crustacean is actually made of metal?

And just 10 seconds later, the poor fish exhausted its energy. The crustacean feasted on the strands of blood that flowed out from the fish’s abdomen.

However, just under the nearby rock, another black figure suddenly jumped out. It looked like a moray eel or a sea snake. It opened its big mouth with sharp teeth and bit the crustacean together with the dead fish.

The crustacean was still struggling, but this ferocious eel bit it flat with fierce force, then it chewed a few times and swallowed it directly.

Seeing this scene, Goat said in surprise,

“Boss, there seems to be something wrong with that eel’s teeth.”

Fang Linyan said,

“I saw it, it should also be made of metal.”

Goat said in shock,

“This… This really subverts my imagination.”

Fang Linyan said in a deep voice,

“This should be the reason why the technology of the biomechanical department of the Blood Umbrella Company had advanced by leaps and bounds. They use submersibles to fish these naturally occurring semi-metallic creatures, then studied them. Of course, they got twice the result with half the effort!”

“These semi-metallic creatures has already appeared on the outskirts of this mysterious and dangerous area. Think about it, if we go deeper, will there be a big guy with more research value?”

Goat captured another keyword in Fang Linyan’s words,

“Semi-metallic creatures? Yes, your description is absolutely correct. For example, the crustacean and eel we saw before have evolved a metal shell and metal organs such as teeth to protect themselves in a natural way. I suspect the bones of the eels might even be metal.”

Fang Linyan squinted and said with a trace of worry,

“Now the danger we have to face has increased again. Try to avoid the creatures that appear here. They have evolved metal organs, so they have the ability to pose a threat to our submersible. I only hope that the direction indicated by the arrow will not lead us to the highland.”

Goat forced a laugh,

“Probably won’t.”

Their worries finally did not become a reality, but they continued to move forward for less than 30 meters, and the arrow pointed to the lower right.

Fang Linyan also began to concentrate on the control. They left the turtle back highland and dived down quickly.

Soon, Fang Linyan and Goat discovered that if the turtle back highland were regarded as a super-giant turtle fossil, they were facing the position of the tail of the turtle.

About 50 meters below the tail of the turtle, there was actually a deep flat cave. The underwater searchlight seemed to be devoured by the darkness inside. It was so dark that nothing could be seen.

The arrow on the retinas pointed straight in that direction. The meaning was obvious. It was to let them enter the cave directly.

“Hiss…” Fang Linyan gasped as if he had a toothache. He smiled bitterly, “To be honest, I’m beginning to regret coming to this shit place.”

After hearing this, Goat was startled and said,

“Ah??“

Fang Linyan smiled and patted him on the shoulder,

“Relax, I was just joking.”

Then with a push of the lever, the submersible drove quickly into the cave.

From a distance, the cave didn’t seem that big, but after getting closer, they discovered that only half of the entrance was buried in the sand. Probably only about one-third of it was exposed.

So at this time, the submersible needed to be very careful to squeeze through. People from the Blood Umbrella Company should have cleaned the entrance of the cave regularly, so getting in and out would be much easier.

Listening to the sound of the shell of the submersible rubbing against the cave wall, Fang Linyan and Goat both sweated at the same time. A large amount of sand was also rolled up underwater, making it extremely turbid. Their vision was almost completely blocked.

Fortunately, only the entrance of the cave was a little narrower. When the submersible barely squeezed in at a snail’s speed, they immediately felt that the space inside was much larger than expected.

Looking carefully at the cave wall, they could obvious traces of digging in some places, which should be done by people of the Blood Umbrella Company.

Just as they continued to move forward, they suddenly felt that the whole cave seemed to be shaking slightly. Even though they were inside the airtight submersible, they could still feel an airwave brush past them like a gust of wind.

Under this mysterious wave, the searchlight outside the submersible started to shine continuously. Even the electronic components on the instrument panel were completely in chaos. There was even a buzzing sound coming from the earphones.

Fang Linyan suddenly understood that it was the mysterious wave pulse. It directly turned the nearby airspace of hundreds of square kilometers into a no-fly zone. It was like a time bomb that would explode at any time and cause a devastating blow to electronic equipment.

Fortunately, the Scarlet Umbrella Organization already had rich experience in fighting against this mysterious pulse wave for a long time, so the electronic instruments used on this submersible were also specially made or fortified at this time. They could actually hold up without being damaged when they were powered on.

It was just that their durability was like a candle in the wind. They could malfunction at any moment.

Fortunately, the pulse didn’t last too long this time, lasting only about 10 seconds.

Fang Linyan immediately went to check it. Fortunately, only a few insignificant parts were damaged, such as the function of extending the mechanical arms to sample, etc., The main function was not affected, so he finally felt relieved.

The submersible continued to drive forward. They could be clearly felt that this huge underwater cave had a slightly inclined angle that tilted downward.

Under such circumstances, the time flow seemed to have slowed down. Fang Linyan and Goat’s breathing was a little short, and they were mentally prepared to deal with all difficulties.

Suddenly, the entire submersible shook. Fang Linyan was startled, then he immediately controlled the submersible to move to the side and slowed down. From the observation window, he saw a huge shadow.

This shadow was about the size of a hatchback. It seemed that it could swim quite quickly in the water.

Before Fang Linyan could command, Goat had successfully controlled the searchlight and shone over. Immediately, they saw a strange creature that looked both turtle and jellyfish. A large number of jellyfish tentacles had grown on a giant turtle shell, which looked very strange.

Its size, together with its tentacles, was even similar to a bus.

Not only that, because there were a lot of luminous synapses on the jellyfish tentacles, they looked like dots of blue and purple lights, flickering as it swam. It looked quite beautiful.

However, Fang Linyan saw a brand new scratch on its hard shell, which should have been caused by the collision with the submersible just now. It also revealed a metallic luster.

Obviously, it was also a creature with a metal shell.

Not only that, but on the other side of the hard shell, there was a long odd object that popped out, which looked a bit conflicting.

But at this moment, the tentacles of this turtle jellyfish shrank again, then they shot toward Fang Linyan and Goat quickly. They collided again.

What else could they do? Returning now would be a sure death, so they could only accelerate forward.

After being hit several times in a row, Fang Linyan and Goat were also dizzy. Fortunately, the submersible was quite sturdy when it was built, so there was still no sign of collapse at all.

Suddenly, this strange turtle jellyfish appeared outside the porthole again. Under these several impacts, the parasitic algae on its shell were also wiped off a lot. The long and strange protrusion on the outer layer was also revealed.

It turned out to be a broken metal spear that half-pierced into the turtle Jellyfish!

Seeing this scene, Fang Linyan immediately recalled that when he was checking the submersible, he saw something similar in the box beside, except that there was a long chain at the end.

TL: Could that be its weakness?
