Super Zoo

Around the hot springs, there are a large number of creatures that are difficult to see with the naked eye. The small ones may be only a few microns, and the large ones are only one or two millimeters. In the boiling hot springs, they don't feel anything and live happily.

"Huh?" Su Ming was stunned. He actually met a water bear!

No wonder it can survive in a boiling hot spring!

The water bear is a small creature that is almost mythical. If the earth is destroyed and only one animal can survive, it is definitely the water bear!

It is the most powerful creature known on earth. This little thing that looks like a silkworm pupa can be traced back to the Cambrian period 500 million years ago. After a long evolution, its body has become extremely small, with eight round and fat legs, and a layer of water film all over its body. Under a microscope, you can see them crawling forward in a naive manner.

Water bears are distributed almost everywhere in the world. They have been found in the highest peaks of the Himalayas, boiling hot springs, and below four thousand meters in the deep sea.

It can survive in all kinds of harsh conditions, such as in the vacuum of outer space, in strong acids and alkalis, and even in nuclear reactors with radiation horrors. It can play happily. It is almost an immortal guy. There was a study that soaked a group of water bears in liquid nitrogen at minus 253 degrees for 26 hours, and another group of water bears was boiled in boiling water for an hour. After taking them out, the two groups of water bears were resurrected with full blood on the spot as if nothing had happened.

Yes, this guy can be resurrected, full of blood...

"An unexpected harvest!" If it weren't in the water, Su Ming would have laughed out loud.

Although these little guys are widely distributed, they are by no means readily available everywhere. Because of their strong adaptability, they don't have a fixed habitat. Theoretically, they can be encountered anywhere, but if you look for them specifically, you may not be able to find them even if you travel half the world for three to five years if you are unlucky.

Conquering the universe depends on you! Su Ming didn't even think about it. He broke the energy storage ball that stored his mental power at the last moment, replenished his whole body's mental power, and then controlled a small water bear.

The stronger the body, the less brains are needed! Water bears are a typical example. It takes almost no mental effort to control water bears, so it feels as easy as facing single-celled animals. A trace of mental effort is released, and a large group of water bears swim to Su Ming along the water flow.

Just as he was about to take these water bears back, the bottom of the water suddenly vibrated slightly, and the cave seemed to shake.

"What's going on again?" With the water bears by his side, Su Ming became much bolder. His physical mental strength was enough to condense an energy storage ball. It was completely predictable that the energy storage ball obtained from the water bear must be a good thing that can greatly enhance vitality, and he was not afraid of danger.

So, he continued to swim forward with courage, bypassing the boiling geothermal springs and approaching the source of the vibration.

...

At one end of the pool, Alayi and a group of old men had shouted hoarsely. Lyudmila nervously looked at the time on the tactical watch. Nine and a half minutes had passed, but Su Ming had not emerged from the water!

Lyudmila strode to the edge of the pond. The visibility of the emerald water was extremely poor, and it was impossible to see if there was anyone below. However, the water was as calm as a mirror, without even a ripple or a bubble.

"Alayi! Something seems to be wrong..." Lyudmila said nervously, looking back.

Alayi led several other old men, raised their heads, and stared at the water without saying a word.

They were more nervous than Lyudmila at this moment!

Time passed by second by second, and for everyone present, every second was torture!

If Su Ming did not appear after ten minutes, for Lyudmila, it meant that the protection mission that she risked her life to complete this time would be a complete failure;

For Alayi and the entire Luer tribe, it meant that all their previous judgments were wrong. This young man from the East was not the messenger of the God of Fire at all. The God of Fire had completely abandoned them at the critical moment of the Luer people's life and death!

Silence, deathly silence. It seemed that even breathing in the cave was stagnant. Only the sound of gurgling water could be heard. More than a dozen pairs of eyes were staring at the surface of the pool, as if some monster in the water would suddenly emerge!

Emil's hands holding the steel gun were shaking slightly. Although the cave was cold and cool, the young soldier still couldn't help sweating. The sweat on his palms had soaked through the linen bandage on the gun handle.

Basel was lying on a stretcher, holding a pocket watch in his hand.

Tick-tick... tick-tick... every second the pocket watch went, the slight sound was like thunder in everyone's ears.

Basel's voice was hoarse and he began to tell the time: "Twenty seconds left..."

The water surface was still calm as usual...

"Fifteen seconds..."

"Ten seconds..."

"Five seconds..."

As the last three seconds counted down, everyone's heart was in their throats. They wanted to dig out their eyeballs and put them in the water to see, and even subconsciously held their breath. Lyudmila simply lay down by the pool!

"Three seconds, two seconds, one..." Basel's voice became slower and slower, and he was even reluctant to finish the last second, as if this could delay time and make the ten-minute deadline come a little later.

However, the only thing that is eternal and unchanging in the world is time. Even the true God cannot change the flow of time.

Ten minutes passed, and every second that followed was to extend the time...

And the pond was always quiet.

The old men, all with ashen faces, slumped on the ground. Alayi's dry lips murmured, and he muttered to himself absentmindedly, 'Great God, you really abandoned us...'

The whole place was waiting, and another five minutes passed!

Lyudmila gritted her teeth, jumped into the pool, took a deep breath, and dived into the water to salvage Su Ming's body.

More than ten minutes later, Lyudmila emerged from the water again, with a face full of disappointment, and did not find Su Ming.

At this moment, the water surface suddenly splashed, and a watery head appeared next to Lyudmila's face, and the two faces almost came together.

"Why did you come down?" Su Ming wiped the water drops on his face, staring at Lyudmila, who was just a few feet away, with a puzzled look on his face.

Lyudmila stared at Su Ming's face with her eyes wide open for several seconds, and suddenly hugged Su Ming's neck and kissed him fiercely.

"Woo woo woo... Oh my god... You bitch... Let go... Help... Woo woo... Tongue... Tongue... Woo woo..."

Lyudmila held Su Ming in her arms and kissed him forcefully, just like grabbing a chicken. It was unknown whether she was trying to vent her anger or for some other reason, but the kiss was so intense that even her arms around Su Ming's waist burst out with great strength, almost breaking Su Ming's waist.

Su Ming was helplessly waving his hands and feet in the water...

The Luer people on the shore were completely stunned, staring at their god's messenger who was about to be suffocated to death by the mother bear's kiss.

In total, Su Ming stayed in the water for nearly 30 minutes, not the 10 minutes he had said before!

If this is not a miracle, what else can be called a miracle? !

A few seconds later, there was a frenzy of cheers in the cave, and all the Luer people, including several armed soldiers, prostrated themselves on the ground, crawled around the pool, and shouted at the pool.

"Messenger of the God of Fire, young man from the East, please guide the Luer people in the direction of advancement!"
