Adventure of picking up a mermaid egg

On the bottom of the sea where the light is not bright, there is actually no difference between day and night.The mermaids usually look at a plant called the sun tree on the seabed.It is said that the leaves of this plant will emit a faint white light during the day, and the leaves will close up at night and no longer emit light.

The mermaid's day and night are judged according to this.Their work and rest patterns are roughly similar to that of humans. They are active and hunting during the day, but they don't easily appear in shallow seas; they gather to play together at night, and some bold ones will also rise to the surface of the sea and sing on the endless uninhabited sea.However, sometimes due to the nocturnal nature of certain prey, the mermaid tribe will also send out elite hunting teams to travel at night.

Jinghai, who first came to the bottom of the sea, is actually not used to the hazy feeling of the bottom of the sea that is always shrouded in a hazy tulle.However, after a period of time, his eyeballs got used to receiving the light passing through the liquid, and his vision became clearer.He also gradually got used to the luxurious life of studying under the bright undersea night pearl.God knows that picking up an ordinary lighting luminous pearl to land here is also a priceless thing, and it really is because of regional differences that make things more expensive than rare.

That night, Jing Hai, who was sleeping hazy, was gently shaken awake by Luo Hai, and then, under Luo Hai's mysterious face, he was taken to a secluded underwater canyon a few sea miles away from the mermaid palace where they lived.

The drowsy Jing Hai obediently was led by Luo Hai to swim for a certain distance, only to realize something was wrong while swimming.

The temperature of the seabed at night is generally very low. Jinghai, who is used to warm items such as quilts on land, can only wrap tightly in the "undersea silk quilt" prepared for him by Luo Hai at night The quilt is made of silk and grass, which can automatically emit heat), and the backup heater in Luohai makes it feel warm enough.

But now the water temperature in the place where Luo Hai took him was obviously getting higher and higher. Later, the temperature was so high that he had the illusion that he was about to be scalded.

He tugged at Luo Hai's hand and asked doubtfully, "Where are you taking me?"

Luo Hai turned around, still looking mysterious, with a deep smile on the corner of his mouth: "Finally woke up? I thought you were nodding your head when you fell asleep until you were sold."

Jing Hai was angry: "Who pulled me out of the bed in the middle of the night?"

Luo Hai hurriedly patted his hand comfortingly, and continued to pull him to swim forward, his blue slender tail swimming fast in the dark seabed.

Jing Hai felt the sea water passing by his body, and suddenly a dim red in front of his eyes caught his attention.

Luo Hai smiled: "Xiao Hai, our destination is almost here."

As they approached gradually, the red light became stronger and stronger. The towering mountains and hideous cracks on the seabed, accompanied by the eye-catching billowing magma, were particularly eye-catching on the dark seabed.

Jing Hai was astonished, the glaring red magma that constantly emerged could actually form long and short red magma flows on the cold seabed, like rivers flowing on land, dazzling and gurgling continuously, until they were covered by the cold sea water Before cooling, fresh hot magma was added.

Looking at the "red river" extending several nautical miles away, Jinghai couldn't help but marvel at the magic of the power of nature.

"This is the most active active volcano in this area. The water temperature near here is very high, so Xiao Hai puts this on first." After finishing speaking, Jing Hai felt his wrist cool down, and in the blink of an eye his wrist was covered with a crystal clear ice blue bracelet, The ice-like shape exudes bursts of icy breath.Putting on this bracelet for the first time, Jinghai felt the icy breath spread from his wrist to his whole body, cooling down the scorching sea water around him a lot.

"This is the ice marrow collected by our people from the source of the polar seabed ice. It may be too cold for you in normal times, but it is perfect for use here. After the baptism of the fire in the center of the earth here, even if You can wear it even in normal times. The power in the ice essence here is very good for our children." Luo Hai looked at Jinghai's wrist, which was set off by the crystal clear ice essence bracelet, which was more slender and white, and couldn't help rubbing it. Snow-like wrists, "Now we can get closer to watch this active volcano. This volcano erupted a while ago. When it first erupted, the sea water was too hot and turbid, and all creatures were far away from it. Now it has The power has been erupted, so everyone came back."

Everyone?

Jinghai was puzzled, and he would understand when he got closer.

It's like a great meeting place under the sea.

Red shrimps shuttled across the hot and thick magma, and occasionally used their long pincers to grab the bright red crystals in the magma and stuff them into their mouths; Swaying tenaciously in the stream, like an elf dancing in the flames, blooming with hot beauty; there are also fishes of different sizes swimming leisurely in the high temperature water, as if enjoying the power of the scorching heat, Zhang Yixi's mouth seemed to be devouring invisible nutrients in the sea water.It was so lively here as if it was still in the daytime. Seeing Luo Hai and the others coming, they just swam away a little, and then continued to go their own way.

****

Jinghai never thought that the seabed in the dark night would be so lively.The water temperature near here is very high, even with the effect of the ice marrow bracelet, Tranquility Sea can still feel the astonishing temperature of the nearby sea water.

He asked in surprise, "Aren't these small fish afraid of being scalded by sea water?"

Luo Hai laughed: "Xiao Hai, have you noticed that all the creatures that move here are more or less reddish?"

Jinghai took a serious look, and it was really the case.Small shrimps that are as red as charcoal, large mouth fish with spots of red stripes on their bodies, and bright red flowers jumping like flames in the cracks of the magma flow...

"These creatures are still living near the active volcano. They have absorbed the heat from the center of the earth for a long time, and they have long been trained to resist high temperatures. To put it bluntly, they have adapted to the high temperature here."

Jinghai was stunned, and pointed at the red shrimps that were hovering on the surface of the magma looking for food without fear of the high temperature.

"They eat magma?"

Luo Hai nodded: "To be precise, they eat the fire crystals in the magma, which is a treasure from the heat of the earth's core. This kind of shrimp is called a fire crystal shrimp, and it is a shrimp that eats the fire crystals in the magma. .”

Looking from a distance, those small shrimps are red and transparent like lifelike rubies, and their whiskers and long pincers are so small that they are transparent and cute, and they look extraordinarily aura when swimming in the dark seabed.

"These small shrimps have absorbed the power of Huo Jing, and their bodies are crystal clear and full of aura. Therefore, there are many underwater creatures that hunt these small shrimps." Luo Hai explained patiently as if he understood Jing Hai's doubts.

"Ah? Then these small shrimps are very dangerous?" These small shrimps looked crystal clear, as if they had no ability to resist.A slightly larger fish can swallow it with its mouth wide open. Isn't that easy to become extinct?

Just as Jing Hai thought this way, a big fish that had been lingering for a long time couldn't help wagging its tail, and quickly stepped forward, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed it.

Jing Hai exclaimed, and Luo Hai immediately comforted him: "Don't worry, the reason why these little shrimps can walk sideways here naturally has their unique ability."

At this time, the fire crystal shrimps wandering nearby seemed to feel something, they all gave up looking for food, and swam towards the big fish. After a while, the big fish was densely packed with bright red patches. Shrimp looks like a red sunset from a distance.

Fright flashed in the big fish's eyes, and he swung his tail desperately and swam quickly, intending to escape the pursuit of a batch of small shrimps, but the speed of the seemingly small and exquisite shrimps was not slow, even if they were a little behind, there was no way to escape. Shrimp from other places make up for it.

The prawns in one piece rubbed their pincers at the bottom of the water, sending out a neat "buzzing" wave, and the red body seemed to be glowing at this moment, and the red light soared.

Jing Hai looked in amazement at the big fish about half the length of a human being shrouded in red clouds and struggling in pain, and could vaguely see a trace of red light shining through the belly of the big fish.The huge fish tail flicked wildly, breaking up the shrimp group, and was quickly replaced by the persistent shrimp.

After a while, the crazily struggling giant fish gradually weakened its resistance, its body took on an unnatural off-white color, the light in its eyes gradually faded, and finally its tail drooped, and its body floated sideways.At this time, the prawns gradually dispersed, revealing the unrecognizable fish scales and fish meat that had been scalded inside.A faint red light slowly crawled out from the giant fish's wide-open mouth, it was the shrimp that was swallowed just now, but the red light on the shrimp became very weak.Not only it, but the red color on the other shrimps that besieged the giant fish was also much weaker, and it seemed that they had consumed a lot of energy.

Jinghai pointed at the giant fish under the swarm of dead shrimps and the small shrimps that escaped after the catastrophe, and was speechless in surprise.

Luo Hai giggled and laughed, breath flowing through his cochlea: "Xiao Hai, don't underestimate every creature in this sea. Just like this seemingly weak fire crystal shrimp, they live in groups. Once an enemy gets into trouble, They, the heat emitted by these small shrimps together will definitely scald even the most skinny and fleshy whales."

Jinghai once again completely changed his view of the magic of underwater creatures, and secretly warned himself not to underestimate every creature on the bottom of the sea.
