Chapter 431 Parting, the whale’s gift
"Really leaving?"
"Um."
"There are still many mysterious areas, don't you want to explore them?"
"Let's talk about it later..."
After leaving the undersea ruins, one person and one whale continued deep into the far north sea, communicating on the cold and boundless ocean floor.
The days under the sea are mostly lonely.
This is true for Su Xia, and it is also true for the big whale. They are both aliens in the sea.
More than a day later, they began to float slowly and very cautiously. They moved forward as they floated, paying attention to the surrounding situation and being wary of possible mechanical creatures.
At this moment, there was no sea surface above them. There was no floating ice, but a thick layer of ice, like a huge and cold white cover covering the far north sea.
Above the ice, there are howling cold winds and rough ice crystal particles. The entire world is a vast expanse of white, life is almost extinct, and few people are here.
"I have a lot of unfinished business on land. I will come back to you when I am free." Su Xia said to the big whale.
"What you humans like to say the most is 'I'll be free in the future'. It's just like 'I'll treat you to dinner next time'. They are both false promises." The big whale said.
"Don't worry, I'm different."
Su Xia has been away from Coral City for too long and doesn't want to spend too much time under the sea.
Before setting off, he planned to get some poison glands and go back. It would be best if he could find traces of his father and his team, but forget it if he couldn't find them.
But he didn't expect that so many things would happen during this trip to the south.
In Coral City, the current situation is very delicate.
An invisible storm was slowly forming, and the center of the storm was the small pharmacy.
Su Xia knew about the "death threat letters" received by the pharmacy.
"Every pharmacist has a large number of contacts. Countless people have been treated by them. Dad is a top figure among pharmacists. I don’t know how many people have benefited from him over the years. Now the outside world is spreading rumors about me.
'Selling a teacher for glory', betraying the information about my father to the machine clan..."
Su Xia knew very early on that this matter would not end so easily.
At first, when the news first spread, many people had doubts, but as time passed, those people probably gradually became convinced of the authenticity of the news.
Su Xia cannot take off the label of betraying the teacher for the time being.
Many people even compare him with the Masked Stranger, who is also a recently famous figure, but what he does is completely different. One never compromises, while the other is a pedant and seeks glory.
Even now, I don’t know how many people are scolding him behind his back.
There are even more people who are ready to take action for their father and get rid of Su Xia who betrayed the master in order to repay the favor they owed their father.
"At that time, Fan Lu came to the pharmacy to cause trouble, and Mercer happened to be in a bad mood. Mercer and Yu Tuo took action at the same time, causing outsiders to think that they were acting for the pharmacy. This incident shocked many people...
"
But now, with the passage of time, the shocking effect of that incident has weakened a lot, and those people are starting to take action again.
Those death threat letters were the means they used to test him.
They seem to be testing the bottom line of the mechanical race.
"Are they worried that Mercer or Yu Tuo are staying nearby?" Su Xia thought seriously, "These two guys have a high status and cannot always stay next to the pharmacy, but those people don't dare to gamble."
Today's pharmacy is like a sweet bait. Everyone wants to take a bite, but everyone can see the danger behind it.
"Are there really any arrangements by Mercer or Yu Tuo around the pharmacy?"
Su Xia wasn't worried about anything else. He was most worried about those impulsive guys from Bei Feng Story Club.
What if they get hot-headed and come to the pharmacy with knives to cause trouble for him, and happen to run into the trap of the machine clan?
"In the future, if you can't survive on land anymore, you can bring your friends to me. I know a few secret hiding places." The big whale knew Su Xia's worries, so he said this.
"Okay, I will definitely come to you when the time comes." Su Xia smiled.
"Don't worry, although my combat power is not strong, my hiding ability is top-notch. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been hiding under the noses of those robots for so long. When the time comes... eh..."
As he spoke, the big whale suddenly felt a wave of joyful spirit, and let out a light sigh, as if he had seen something that made him very happy.
At the same time, Sarah also detected something strange in the outside world, smiled slightly, and said: "Captain, there are a large number of biological signals in front of us. They are very dense. They should be the shrimp swarms in the extreme northern sea."
"Yes, it's a school of shrimp!" the big whale said excitedly.
Just in front of them, in a piece of blue water, a large group of pale red creatures suddenly appeared, densely packed and countless, like a pale red cloud floating in the ocean.
The big whale screamed happily, and then swung its tail. Its huge body was like a heavy machine, running over at full speed, causing a storm in the sea water.
Eating when you are hungry is the instinct of almost any living thing.
Even mechanical creatures will try their best to replenish themselves with energy when they are about to run out of energy.
"Come in my mouth!"
The big whale swung its tail and opened its mouth, which was dozens of meters wide. It seemed to have opened a crack leading to the dark abyss. Then it sucked in suddenly and swallowed the small shrimps and the seawater into its mouth.
, I don’t know how many tons of sea water it swallowed, it looks quite amazing.
The shrimp swarm was frightened and began to flee in all directions, like a scattered swarm of bees.
But the big whale obviously didn't eat enough. After expelling the seawater from its mouth, it suddenly opened its mouth and sucked again, sucking in an unknown number of small shrimps into its mouth.
The big whale said that he had four stomachs in his belly, and the first stomach was particularly huge. He would feel hungry if there was even a little less food.
During hundreds of years of evolution, he spent much of his time sleeping to reduce physical consumption.
"Oh, I was barely full for two minutes." After devouring several times, he sighed, seemingly not satisfied.
"You didn't eat enough?" Su Xia was surprised.
"You don't understand. Once I start taking action, my body consumes energy very quickly, unless I meet some higher-energy creatures." The big whale said about his food list, which is mostly plankton, as well as small fish and shrimps.
And so on, it all depends on quantity to win.
"By the way, speaking of energy..."
The big whale changed the subject and suddenly brought up another matter: "I see that you are not yet the top powerhouse among humans. It will definitely be difficult to unify the land. Do you want to be like me and become a top psychic creature?"
Su Xia smiled and said: "The top psychic creatures are indeed powerful, but individual strength is only one aspect. Unifying the land requires a huge team."
"You humans are really in trouble." The big whale muttered, "Can't you choose the strongest from the two camps, let the strongest fight, and then decide the outcome of both sides?"
"This should be a method used by the Zerg. Humans and machines don't like to use it..."
Chongzi likes leaders to fight very much, and Su Xia understands this very well.
Once the leader is defeated, the entire hive will be defeated like a mountain.
However, the battle between humans and machines relies not only on leaders, but also on thousands of ordinary warriors.
There is another thing Su Xia did not say. From the perspective of this planet, the big whale is indeed a top-level psychic creature, but from a higher perspective, the big whale has not even reached the "Titan level" of the Zerg.
Strength.
Su Xia doesn't want to hit the big whale, let him immerse himself in feeling good about himself.
"My current strength is barely enough for this planet." He said.
"Forcibly? This is not possible." The big whale said, "Let's do this. This time you help me solve the problem of the pyramid, and I will give you a gift."
"what gift?"
"Big gift, just follow up!"
The big whale smiled mysteriously, without saying anything directly. It swung its tail, swayed its fins, and accelerated its speed of swimming, leading the way for Su Xia, as if he was going somewhere.
Su Xia was confused and followed closely behind the big whale.
"What gift will it be?"
Judging from the big whale's intention, it seems that it wants to help Su Xia improve his strength and make him become the top creature on this planet as soon as possible.
Right now, only psychic potions can quickly increase Su Xia's strength.
Could it be that there is a sunken ship on this seabed carrying psychic potion?
With doubts, Su Xia followed the big whale for more than two hours.
At this moment, they have floated to an area of more than 2,000 meters on the seabed, getting closer and closer to the sponge.
"arrive!"
The big whale suddenly stopped, and its huge body stagnated.
In front of him, there was a long and narrow seafloor fissure. It was dark and deep, and the deepest part could not be seen. It seemed that some terrifying creature lived there.
Su Xia was stunned for a moment, a little confused.
To be continued...
