Chapter 2457 - Undersea River (2/2)
A river at the bottom of the sea…
The phrase alone was conflicting. After all, the sea was a body of water itself.
However, Old Man Zhen’s description suited the situation perfectly.
The water in the trench was placid with strong water pressure, but the bottom of it was like a spacious river flowing rapidly in a certain direction.
“Where is it going?”
“If the water here is flowing, it means it’s connected to somewhere else.”
“General, should we keep going? The current here is stronger than normal rivers. We have no idea where it’s going to bring us,” Tang Feng signed.
Zhang Xiaohou had a grim face.
They had come here to look for the Dragon King Krill nest, but after a few scans, the numbers of Dragon King Krill were lower than they had expected.
Most importantly, the strange things that happened so far had nothing to do with the Dragon King Krill!
It was hard to tell what was going to happen if they went any further.
“Old Man Zhen, we haven’t found the Scorched Silver you mentioned,” Zhang Xiaohou messaged.
“It’s definitely from around here, take a look at this!” Old Man Zhen answered.
Old Man Zhen pointed at the rapid current under them and fired a white ray into it. Tiny crystals immediately sparkled in the current.
The undercurrent had a mystical silver glow, like a ribbon covered in silver crystals flowing in the darkness.
“The current is full of Scorched Silver. It might not be the Dragon King Krill’s nest, but the river is clearly connected to another area of the sea. We should be able to find the answer if we head up-current and look!” Old Man Zhen told them.
“The force of the current could grind a mountain to the ground. How are we supposed to swim against it?” Tan Feng protested.
“Captain Tong, test it with the purple liquid,” Zhang Xiaohou ordered.
They were looking for Dragon King Krill. They should confirm the local density of the Dragon King Krill first.
Captain Tong released the purple liquid used to identify the Dragon King Krill. It spread slowly through the water. However, the rapid current of the undersea river immediately diluted the purple liquid that reached it.
The water in the trench had completely changed color.
As they shone a light into their surroundings, the outlines of the Dragon King Krill nearby were revealed. They were carrying hints of silver crystals inside their bodies. They had thought the silver crystals were being carried by the river, but it was the Dragon King Krill that had been carrying them!
“General, look at the river!” Old Man Zhen pointed out.
Zhang Xiaohou shifted his gaze and saw countless Dragon King Krill flowing past them inside the river!
If they had not used the purple liquid, they would have had no idea the river held so many Dragon King Krill.
Some of the Dragon King Krill had ended up in the trench. They had to be the Dragon King Krill that had made it out of the trench and were attracted by the Salt Flower Island fishermen.
However, most of the Dragon King Krill in the river had Scorched Silver in their bodies!
The sparkles Old Man Zhen had noticed were actually the Dragon King Krill, but their bodies were transparent.
