Chapter 67: The Unfrozen Sea, 2 Leagues Under the Sea
Chapter 67: The Unfrozen Sea, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
Floating leisurely in outer space, Xu Yang flew around the planet beneath his feet as if he was patrolling his territory.
"To be honest, you're not that good-looking." Xu Yang couldn't help but complain about the planet under his feet.
The north pole of this star is white, and a little further down, it is half yellow and half green, with a blue belt in the middle. The southern part is a large piece of red land, which looks very strange... The whole star is like a glass ball that has been scribbled with watercolors by a naughty doll.
In addition to the star under our feet, the one farther away is a huge star, which is at least a hundred times larger than the one under our feet. A little closer is a gray-brown gas giant planet. The huge bald spots on it, like the Ocean of Storms, show that it does not look like a life form.
"The universe is so dead and empty."
Inspired by this, although Xu Yang has now escaped from the level of an ant and can travel alone in space, he is still too small compared to the vast universe. Apart from other things, Xu Yang has broken through to the cosmic level and has a lifespan of ten epochs. However, without a star map and wandering aimlessly, it would take luck to encounter the next planet with life.
"If you don't want to be trapped and die on this planet, finding the star map is the key!"
The joy of Xu Yang's breakthrough to the cosmic level was diluted by this worry. Is the system powerful? Of course it is very powerful! Otherwise, it would not have allowed Xu Yang to break through from a wild wolf to the cosmic level in just over a month. It can be said that since the birth of the original universe, no one has been faster than him!
But are there any limits? Yes, there are.
The acquisition of [resources] means that Xu Yang cannot hide forever on this life star under his feet and become the 'Shilipo Sword God'. A life star may give birth to a cosmic-level creature if the luck is good enough, and may give birth to a domain lord-level creature in extremely bad circumstances. However, in both cases, it is impossible for large-scale cosmic-level and domain lord-level creatures to appear!
If Xu Yang were trapped on this planet for long enough, the planet might produce enough stellar-level [resources] for him to break through to the domain lord level, but it would absolutely not be possible for the planet to produce enough cosmic-level [resources] for him to break through to the realm lord level.
This is also the fate of most natives in the universe who do not have a powerful background. After breaking through to the cosmic level, they either go into the universe to try their luck or die of old age on the stars.
In comparison, Xu Yang is still extremely lucky. At least he can see his path to becoming the domain master on the star under his feet!
"Cold, lonely, desolate, ruthless... this vast and empty universe."
After taking another deep look at the deep space, Xu Yang turned into a meteor and fell towards the stars under his feet. This time he learned his lesson and wrapped himself with the Force. The friction with the air did not cause any obvious fire or sound, and his concealment was improved by several orders of magnitude.
"boom!"
With a faint glow of fire, Xu Yang fell directly into the blue belt of the planet, splashing a large amount of water.
"Pfft!"
Xu Yang surfaced and spat out the sea water in his mouth.
"After eating beasts for so long, it's time to change the taste."
In his previous life, Xu Yang was from Sichuan Province, but he loved eating seafood, but his lack of money limited his hobby. In this life, everything is the freshest buffet, and he can get it by himself. Nothing can limit his enjoyment.
Moreover, the ocean is a three-dimensional ecosystem that can support far more creatures than land. Having stayed on land for more than a month, Xu Yang had only seen a stellar-class giant crocodile some time ago and a stellar-class monkey yesterday. He would not hesitate to kill humanoid creatures for the sake of [resources], but he would forget about eating them.
So, now he wants to go to the ocean to mix and mingle, which can not only satisfy his appetite, but also make it more likely that he can obtain a large amount of [resources].
Now that he has broken through to the cosmic level, his body structure has undergone significant changes. Xu Yang is no longer dependent on oxygen. The black hole in his lower abdomen rotates and will automatically absorb cosmic energy from outer space to power cells. This is why cosmic-level strong men can cross the universe!
The super-strong internal black hole can offset the explosion danger brought by the cosmic vacuum. The absorbed cosmic energy can provide energy for cells, getting rid of the dependence on food and oxygen. In a sense, even if they are of the same race, cosmic-level creatures and creatures below the cosmic level can be regarded as two different creatures.
"Gurgle~~" The Force covered his whole body, and Xu Yang's movements became as agile as a swimming fish. His body seemed no longer affected by the impact and influence of the water flow. The thin film of Force formed on his eyeballs not only blocked the intrusion of seawater, but also made the underwater world extremely bright in Xu Yang's eyes.
With a whoosh, Xu Yang disappeared from the water like a swordfish with a wolf's mouth.
The waves gradually subsided and the wind became calm.
No one knew that a demon wolf from the fertile green fields had sneaked into the unfrozen sea.
……
At the bottom of the sea, Xu Yang was moving as fast as a streak of light passing through the sea.
"Gulu~~Gulu~~"
When he opened his mouth in the sea, the sound became very strange. As a last resort, Xu Yang used the Force to create a gap in his mouth.
"It's quite deep here, at least two thousand meters, right?" Xu Yang was confident that his estimate would not be wrong. "Shouldn't the ocean be full of creatures? How come I haven't seen any rare species except for a few small fish?"
Soon, Xu Yang touched bottom, more than 3,700 meters.
At a depth of more than 3,700 meters, the sun had long since gone out of reach, and the surroundings were plunged into a deep and mysterious darkness. Xu Yang felt like a lonely submarine, shuttling through this endless darkness.
"Hey, there's something good."
Xu Yang stepped on the soft sea mud, and every step he took brought up a large amount of turbidity.
He saw a glimmer of light, which should be the faint light emitted by deep-sea creatures. In his previous life, an expert in the animal world said that deep-sea creatures would use light to lure prey. He increased his speed and swam towards the light. Soon, he came to a huge cave, which was emitting a faint blue light.
It is said to be a huge cave, but in fact it is not even as big as Xu Yang’s head.
The Force gathered at the bottom of his eyes, and the photoreceptor cells were more active than ever before. With the help of the faint fluorescence of the creatures in the cave, Xu Yang could clearly see the scene inside the cave.
This is a gourd-shaped cave, small outside and large inside, with a 'deep-sea eel' about two meters in diameter curled up inside. At this moment, the deep-sea eel is gnawing on a mantis shrimp, which is about three meters in size.
The eels in the cave have slender bodies and their skin is a deep blue covered with glowing spots.
"It looks pretty good. The eel should be edible."
Enveloped by the Force, only Xu Yang himself could hear the sound.
In his previous life, Xu Yang loved to eat eel rice. In this life, when he saw this eel, he was instantly unable to walk. Although this eel was only at the eighth level of the apprentice level in his perception, for the sake of satisfying his appetite, he did not mind trying this "low-level" ingredient.
