Giant Fish Survival: I Can Hear the Giant Fish's Heart

"It's so much more comfortable outside." With the sun shining and the sea breeze blowing, Zhou Wen stood on the deck and sighed before leaping into the sea.

When the illusory Leviathan saw Zhou Wen emerge, it slowly sank its body into the water, preparing to carry Zhou Wen on its back, but Zhou Wen stopped it.

The reason I came out today is to experiment with using a combination of stone and wooden foundations as defensive armor for the Transformation Leviathan. Naturally, I need to talk to the Transformation Leviathan about this first.

Of course, Zhou Wen wouldn't understand if he just said it directly, so he took out an iron greatsword and a piece of yellowtail meat from the supply box.

Then, use a large iron knife to chop the fish meat. The fish meat is cut open by the blade. Then take out a stone floor and place it in front of the fish meat. Then use the large iron knife to chop again. The large iron knife can only chop the stone floor, but cannot damage the fish meat.

After demonstrating the general situation, Zhou Wen placed a stone foundation on the body of the illusory Leviathan and cleaved it a few times with his iron greatsword. The sword could only strike the stone foundation and could not damage the body of the illusory Leviathan.

After reading the text, the illusory Leviathan's eyes lit up. It roughly understood what Zhou Wen meant, so it nodded, dived back into the water, and carried Zhou Wen on its back.

So Zhou Wen began placing two types of foundations on the back of the Leviathan. To fill the entire body, it would take about two thousand foundations.

However, because the stone foundations are relatively heavy, not too many can be placed. Therefore, Zhou Wen decided to place the stone foundations and wooden foundations in a 1:3 ratio, that is, 500 stone foundations and 1500 wooden foundations.

The two types of foundations are evenly distributed, with three wooden foundations between each two stone foundations, but this ratio is not the same from beginning to end.

Zhou Wen placed fewer stone foundations at the tail because he didn't want to affect the Leviathan's mobility too much, while he placed more stone foundations at the head, a more important location.

However, considering the top-heavy problem, Zhou Wen simply placed more stone foundations on the upper part of his head and more wooden foundations on the lower part. This way, the buoyancy generated by the wooden foundations could slightly support the entire head and prevent it from being too heavy.

After a while, the Transformation Leviathan was covered with two types of foundations, and stone floors were also attached to the wooden foundations. Then Zhou Wen signaled the Transformation Leviathan to dive into the water wearing a set of foundation "armor" to test the effect.

"So heavy," the thought echoed in the mind of the transformed Leviathan.

Actually, there's no need to dive anymore. The entire base, weighing over a thousand tons, has already pushed the Transformation Leviathan below sea level. Even with the buoyancy of the wooden base, it's already good enough that it can offset a small portion of the weight. The Transformation Leviathan still has to bear most of the weight.

The next step is to try swimming underwater to see how much this foundation affects the transformation into Leviathan. To make the experiment accurate, the swimming distance must be considerable.

Zhou Wen couldn't possibly float on the sea and wait to transform into Leviathan. If he were discovered by some kind of "small" fish, he would be swallowed up as bait. So he returned to the space in his stomach wall to wait.

After a brief adjustment to its heavy body, the transformed Leviathan began to swim. The entire stomach wall vibrated violently, indicating that the "foundation armor" had a significant impact on the transformed Leviathan.

About an hour later, the Illusionary Leviathan was too tired to swim anymore and struggled to the surface. Zhou Wen quickly went out and collected the foundation on the Illusionary Leviathan's body.

Having shed its "foundation armor," Leviathan felt completely at ease, with most of its body surfacing.

An hour isn't a long time, but it's enough. Zhou Wen's purpose in laying the "foundation armor" for the Leviathan transformation was originally for battle; it wasn't necessary for regular activities.

The bio-radar of the Leviathan has a wide range and can detect threats in advance. In general, when a battle is required, there is no way to avoid it, and one must confront it head-on.

By being able to identify the creatures that must be fought in advance, Zhou Wen can lay a layer of "foundation armor" on the Leviathan before it transforms into a monster for battle, providing simple protection.

Moreover, during the battle, these "foundation armors" will definitely be damaged in large quantities, and the transformation into Leviathan will become easier and easier to fight, without continuously consuming the transformation into Leviathan's stamina.

The experiment on the "foundation armor" is complete, and there's nothing more to do with transforming into Leviathan now.

Zhou Wen left several wooden foundations on the back of the Leviathan, then placed a furnace on the wooden foundations, added 5 portions of charcoal and a piece of iron ore to the furnace, and finally lit the fire to start smelting iron.

The iron smelting process was slow, and Zhou Wen had nothing to do, so he placed two wooden foundations, lay on them to sunbathe, and then opened the world system to check the chat channel.

Now, several survivors have started writing novels in the world chat channel. Most survivors don't have much entertainment anyway, so these novels are naturally very popular. Gradually, during the relatively safe supply crate phase, some people will start writing novels.

Some survivors with relatively abundant resources, if they are in a good mood, will also give some resources to the novelist. After all, entertainment is indeed scarce at present. Even Zhou Wen, when he has nothing to do, will browse the world chat channel to pass the time.

"What's up with this Shi Kongyun? He's always writing erotic novels, so vulgar and obscene!" Zhou Wen would read the erotic novels written by this Shi Kongyun every day and then criticize them harshly.

[Give that guy named Shi Kongyun a spiked helmet. Let him survive properly and stop him from writing all this nonsense all day.]

[Brother Wen, you're watching this too?]

"What am I looking at? I'm not looking at anything, I'm just criticizing."

Just as Zhou Wen continued his criticism, a message appeared on the chat channel that caught everyone's attention.

[Haha, iron weapon blueprint! I got an iron weapon blueprint!]

This person had just posted the message along with a picture of an iron longsword blueprint.

Dude, your luck is incredible!

[Pshaw! What's there to be so happy about? So what if you have the blueprints? Do you even have any iron ingots?]

Of course I have iron ingots; I've already crafted one.

Immediately afterwards, a photo was posted on the chat channel. In a dark space, a beam of light shone on an iron sword, which was about one meter long and reflected the luster of metal.

[Holy crap! Where did you get those iron ingots?]

[Found in a supply crate inside the cave; the iron longsword blueprint was also found in a silver-rimmed supply crate inside.]

[Those are the caves the guild leaders are afraid to go into? Weren't they supposed to have huge bugs? Are they deliberately lying to us?]

[Yes, there were some, but they were scared away by the scream of my Leviathan form.]

【Huh? The Leviathan Transformation will even help you?】

Just as the survivors were discussing the details of entering the treasure cave, an untimely message was sent out.

【My friend, you have two choices: submit your blueprints, join the "Soaring" guild, or die. The choice is yours.】
