I am a descendant of the White King, but I was born in the Douluo Continent

"I thought these things were extinct long ago." Caesar's face looked a little ugly.

Chu Zihang also said solemnly: "I remember that the last record about the ghost-toothed dragon viper came from the stone tablets of the Sumerian civilization, right?"

Caesar nodded: "Well, the Sumerians used them to purify iron ore, which is biological iron smelting, more than 1000 years earlier than high-temperature iron smelting."

Lu Lin's focus at this time has shifted from the ghost-toothed dragon viper: "The ghost-toothed dragon viper is a subspecies with dragon blood. The same is true for the lopsided shark and king squid just now. No wonder it can adapt to this place. Extreme environment.”

Only Lu Mingfei, who has always been out of the situation, or whose knowledge reserve is not very good, is full of questions: "Hey, what are you talking about, why can't I understand a word?"

"'Ghost-toothed Viper' is the name of those silver viperfish. They are legendary creatures. Dragons use them as instruments of torture. Nobles who commit serious crimes will be tied to bronze pillars and sunk into the deep sea. They will be killed by a large group of dragons. The viper ate the nobles and the bronze pillars together.”

"Because all historical records about the dragon clan are inferred from classics, there have always been doubts about whether things like the ghost-toothed dragon viper really existed. However, the development history of iron tools implies that the ghost-toothed dragon viper did exist. Most historians Everyone thinks that the Hittites invented iron smelting in about the 15th century BC. However, the college once purchased iron tools that were older than the Hittites. They were made by the Sumerians who were earlier than the Hittites, but in Sumer In the human era, humans should not have such high-temperature flames to melt iron ore. The result of technological restoration is that the Sumerians used biological iron smelting. They raised dragon vipers to eat the iron ore, and the iron was in their bodies. It became more and more enriched and purified, and then the Sumerians burned the viper fish with low-temperature flames to obtain iron with a better texture. In this iron, a transparent crystal-like substance can be found, which is the tooth of the dragon viper." Chu Zihang looked a little pale, but he still explained to Lu Mingfei the horror of the "ghost-toothed dragon viper".

As expected, Liao Lu Mingfei was extremely horrified and complained: "It would be unbelievable to even eat this stuff!"

"After all, it is a creature that carries dragon genes. It is not surprising that it has any strange abilities." Lu Lin said.

After a pause, Lu Lin squinted out of the observation window and said, "All the creatures here should carry the genes of the dragon clan. Look at the overlord squid that has returned over there, and pay attention to its remaining arms and legs."

After the ghost-toothed dragon viper turned into stars and fell into the sea below, the king squid that had escaped before also took the opportunity to return. Now it is floating on the skeleton of the lopsided shark. The remaining nine arms and legs are rising and rolling, and the suction cups are looming. The central mouthpart is swallowing the blood-red seawater around it.

It was devouring the remaining minced meat and blood of the lopsided shark, but the focus that Lu Lin asked Lu Mingfei to pay attention to was not here, but the suction cups on its arms and legs.

The surface of the suction cup with a diameter of more than half a meter is densely covered with scales. It is impossible for a squid with scales to appear in the world, but if it has the genes of the dragon family, then it is possible to grow weird features, not to mention Are the scales the representative symbol of dragons?

After enjoying the residue, the king squid gracefully left with waving arms and legs. The school of fish returned to the sea area, and the peaceful and peaceful atmosphere was restored. The turtles with giant sea anemones on their backs paddled slowly, and the manta rays were flying. Strangely across the field of vision.

"That embryo is in the abyss below, and it is an ancient species with an extremely powerful bloodline. Only dragons of that level can continuously release secretions rich in genetic information during the incubation process. This secretion will All kinds of sea creatures were attracted, and their genes were rewritten at the same time, transforming them into dragon subspecies."

Caesar concluded, "Now one thing is certain, we have entered the territory of that ancient dragon."

"It's strange." Chu Zihang frowned and said: "As far as we know, dragons like to choose hatcheries for embryos away from humans and other creatures. They don't need to attract these fish schools as food. They It will not easily release secretions carrying genetic information. In history, there are only examples of evolution after being exposed to the blood of ancient dragons. It is difficult to understand that a large number of dragon subspecies were born due to the influence of embryonic secretions. "

"The best way to deal with things you can't understand is to see it with your own eyes." Lu Lin said lightly. At the same time, he completed the operation of manually restoring all the power sources in the Diryste, and then slowly turned the rudder. , driving the Dieste to explore downwards.

. . . . . .

The rock formations below seemed to have been split open by an incomparable giant blade, leaving thousands of miles of scars, and golden blood seeping out of them.

Sitting in the Diryste, Lu Lin's ears were filled with the dull sound of explosions. The lava river under his feet was like a newly forged giant sword being tempered in the sea water, but the terrifying pressure here was Below, even magma cannot explode.

After the glitch, the Trieste ran very smoothly.The air flowing through the valve made a slight whine. The pointers on the various instrument panels in front of Lu Lin were beating in an orderly manner, and all the values ​​were within a reasonable range.

However, the speed at which Lu Lin drove the Diryste was a bit fierce, because they only had less than an hour left. In such a short time, no matter what they did, time was tight.

The depth gauge currently reads 8500 meters, which is almost close to the magma river at the bottom of the polar abyss. The Diriaste turned on the weak power source and relied on lithium batteries to drive the propellers to cruise smoothly. The seafloor cracks below were like a burning abyss. The Trieste passed above it like a midge illuminated by flames.

At this time, all the observation windows of the Dilieste have been opened, with almost a 360-degree viewing angle, but the surface of the Dilieste is not visible from the dimension.

Except for Lu Lin who was controlling the actions of the Diliaster from the driver's seat, the other three were looking down at the long river of magma beneath their feet.

The decomposition between the golden-red magma and the black sea water is extremely clear. Dark red shrimps swim near the lava, and some purple creatures live in symbiosis with these shrimps.

Chu Zihang stared at the magma river below and whispered: "Incredible, isn't it? Originally, humans did not believe that living things could survive in temperatures exceeding 100 degrees, because the water in the body vaporized above that temperature. But then the divers Some small krill are found in the deep sea that can withstand temperatures of 400 degrees. They live next to submarine volcanoes and feed on the phosphorus in the volcanoes. Life is an incredible thing, and humans only understand a small part of it. Some people think that submarine volcanoes This is where life first emerged, and there was enough moisture and temperature, and volcanic eruptions brought out large amounts of minerals from the mantle."

Lu Mingfei, who was beside him, took over the conversation naturally: "Jin Lunga Chasm?"

Chu Zihang nodded: "Professors believe that the Jinlunga Divide in Nordic mythology actually refers to the cracking of the earth in the sea. Only people who have been here in person can describe the grand feeling."

"Who in ancient times could come to a place like this?"

"Dragon, in Nordic mythology, the first life was born here. I think it implies that the dragon clan was born from a place similar to Jiyuan." Chu Zihang replied.

At this time, Caesar, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: "Gentlemen, I feel that now is not the time to analyze myths. Don't you feel that the temperature here is getting hotter and hotter?"
