Chapter 25 In the Sea

I couldn't help but pat my forehead. This scene is really super strange! The sea water beside our boat is currently old blue, and Poseidon's blood is purer sapphire blue. The light spots in front converge into a fluorescent

A blue circle, and the area in the center of the circle can clearly be seen to be dark black!

Has the ocean become a giant palette of blues?

Regarding the area in the center of the ring, my first impression was that it was a huge pothole. The blue light dots were like fluorescent warning signs on the construction road, reminding people that the road ahead was dangerous and entry was prohibited.

I looked at the water flow around me and found that the sea water was really surging in the direction of the circle. Could it be that the black area was an abyss in the ocean, and the water was poured into it?

But where did the water that flowed in go? How could an abyss appear out of thin air on the sea?

Fortunately, the Shark stopped its power in time. If it weren't for those light spots, I'm afraid we would have fallen headlong into it now!

"Is the firefly squid the kind of squid we eat?" The weirdo took a look and asked curiously.

"It's edible, but not too common." The captain replied knowledgeable, "This thing was originally in Toyama Bay, Japan, how did it end up here?"

I thought about it, this place is between China, Japan and South Korea, so it would make sense for a group of squid to swim there.

The captain looked puzzled and continued: "They have luminous devices on their bodies. This cold blue light can attract prey in the sea. The purpose of their appearance on the sea is to absorb the moonlight. The moon can only be seen on clear days."

Firefly squids can only be seen at night, but it’s full of fog here, so why are they here?”

Even he didn't know, and we shook our heads repeatedly.

There were more and more firefly squids glowing blue. Our boat was very close to the strange abyss, and some desperate squids actually climbed onto the side of the boat!

I couldn't help but be curious, so I picked up a long pole and hooked one up. After a closer look, I found that their true appearance was actually very ugly! They were no bigger than a palm, sticky and wet, and the glowing part was soft and soft in front of the head.

In my tentacles! It kept twisting and squirming, and I quickly gave it to the weirdo to play with.

His eyes were almost shining. He took the long pole and caught the luminous objects that had just climbed up one by one into the plastic water tank on the deck.

His good friend Su Li picked up all the squirming firefly squids with a bright smile, gave the weirdo a wink and got back into the cabin. Only then did I realize that these two people, one is a cook and the other is a foodie, they are

Let’s turn these squid that saved Shark’s life into delicious food!

After being baptized by Lingyu several times, the Shark no longer has any useful lighting equipment. The ship, like the nearby ocean, is completely in darkness. If they want to gather here to absorb the light source, they are looking in the wrong place.

!

"Look at what the black hole in front of you is." the captain ordered.

Several people returned to the cabin, struggled to pull on the wires, carried out a large searchlight and placed it on the bow of the ship. They manually turned the head of the light, trying to see clearly what was inside the abyss.

Suddenly a black shadow rose from the abyss and rushed toward the searchlight!

We were all surprised, something could fly from the sea to the sky!

The black shadow had wings. It flapped a few times and flew along the light to our ship, and then stood quietly on the roof of the captain's cabin!

We looked at each other in shock, and several people quickly helped to pull the wire of the searchlight, turned the lamp post and hit it——

It was a big white bird with a proud look. It faced the light without fear, stood there, elegantly combed the feathers on its chest several times, let out a soft cry, and then started shaking all over.

I saw the shadow behind it shaking violently, the frequency getting higher and higher, and the figure getting bigger and bigger! Suddenly, its tail stretched upward completely, holding up a large and gorgeous fan!

I was stunned. On the dilapidated captain's cabin of the Shark, under the strong direct light of the searchlight, and among the cool blue embellishments of fireflies, a pure white male peacock opened its tail facing the bow of the ship!

Goosebumps stood up on my body. The glowing squids gathered in the sea. How could it be justified? They are aquatic animals, but how could a peacock fly out of the abyss of the sea?

This was not over yet, I heard the sound of flapping wings again from above my head! Under the leadership of the first one, several more peacocks flew to the hull of the Shark one after another! They were not afraid of us, shaking their bodies one by one,

Displaying the gorgeous peacock tail screen to us stunned humans!

I have never seen so many peacocks with such pure coat colors. They are like brides wearing white wedding dresses, so charming and incomparable.

I felt ashamed of myself for no reason. The Shark was still filled with the lingering smell of fish, most of the cabins were twisted and deformed, and the disgusting pus and blood of the kingfish still remained in the grooves and gaps on the deck. I was afraid of those dirty fish.

A dirty environment will pollute the white peacock's holy feathers.

A few crew members were afraid of scaring them away, so they quickly turned off the searchlight, but I still felt that the surroundings were very bright! At this time, the blue starlight of the firefly squid suddenly became stronger!

Only then did I realize that at some point, the thick fog around us started to lift!

This feeling is like someone who is highly myopic and suddenly puts on glasses, and the rough-edged glass is suddenly removed. The entire field of vision and the entire mind become clear!

Looking around, as expected, we can see the endless ocean, and in the sky above our heads, there is a bright and bright full moon!

It turns out that the firefly squids are concentrated here, waiting for this moment to come and absorb the moonlight to their heart's content!

It was the first time I witnessed such a magical moon. Its light seemed to be specially prepared for the sea area we were in. Every corner of the ship and everyone on the deck was bathed in a soft silver glow.

Use the moonlight to look at the huge abyss from which the peacock flew out. It is indeed a black hole embedded in the sea. The water in all directions is surrounded by a circle of cold blue, and naturally flows along the edge of the hole.

is injected into it, forming a fully enclosed circular waterfall!

The white peacocks on the boat were enjoying moonbathing, and their snow-like feathers even reflected a faint halo under the light!

This situation is many times more pleasing to the eye than in the picture scroll or in the dream. None of us dared to speak, and no one was willing to open our mouths to break this short period of tranquility after experiencing the bloody storm.

Everyone sat on the deck in twos and threes, not daring to disturb the contented peacocks. However, they were not afraid of strangers at all. Instead, they actively showed off their dazzling tail feathers, jumped on the deck, and walked around on the railings.

It wasn't until Su Li Yao, who was standing still in place, appeared at the cabin door when he ran out excitedly that the weirdo made some noise. He ran over quickly and took the things in Su Li Yao's hand, smiling like a flower.

He ran back as brightly as his son.

When I saw it, he actually handed me a bunch of freshly baked spicy firefly squid!

Although the aroma was fragrant, I still couldn't bear to take a bite. Next to me, there was a live squid twisting and turning happily in the tank, and I was holding the innocent corpse of its companion in my hand!

The weirdo never had any taboos. He raised the fish skewers in his hand and gently sent them to the white peacock next to us.

The peacock walked over generously, pecked the squid on the skewer with its pointed beak, shook its delicate crown, turned around and walked away as if it was disgusting.

Their feathers are plump and their taste is so high, they must have no worries about eating and drinking.

I saw that the weirdo was eating so deliciously that I couldn't help but take a bite of the plump squid skewers in my hand. The delicious smell made my tongue almost swallow it in my stomach!

Eating fresh grilled skewers in front of the moon, listening to the waves and watching the peacocks dancing, I never thought I would be able to enjoy this treatment in my lifetime!

Looking at the elegant figure of the white peacock, I thought that their wings are not particularly developed. Peacocks can only flap a few times in a short distance and in a small area, and most of the time they walk on two paws. This is the middle of the ocean.

The ocean, such a wide distance, they should not be able to fly back to land.

And if according to what we just saw, they come from the abyss in the ocean, does it mean that there is a good living environment suitable for peacocks to live in the abyss? They have never gone out to the sea, but have lived in it for generations.

Woolen cloth?

The peacock's food should be small insects, grass seeds, berries and seeds. However, there are obviously no such creatures that can only appear on land in the ocean. The squids just ignored them, so the only possibility for them to survive is in the abyss.

There is a piece of land with lush foliage and a suitable climate, which can provide them with sufficient food and safe shelter!

If such a land appears in the ocean, it can be called an "island".

This keyword is running around in my mind: an island, an island at the junction of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea.

I suddenly thought of the purpose of this trip and thought of the scene on the Kyushu tripod:

Beautiful mountains and clear waters, towering vegetation, blooming flowers, birds and animals flying among them, and clouds and mist floating on the river and in the sky, it is like a fairyland outside the world.

Damn it! Could it be that there is Penglai Island under the abyss?

My whole body started to tremble. It is said in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas": "Penglai Mountain is in the sea." From this point of view, it is indeed "in the sea". It does not even have a piece of land above the sea. It can also be called an island.
