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

More than 100 meters below the surface, Zhou Wen relied on the light of his headlamp to search for the scarlet root nodules in the dim environment.

To avoid getting lost among the vast expanse of crimson kelp, Zhou Wen would use his iron broadsword to cut down any crimson kelp that blocked his way, carving out a path through the intertwined kelp forest.

After searching for several minutes, Zhou Wen discovered that these scarlet kelp did not grow independently. There was a red root system in the sand and rocks, and these scarlet kelp grew from this red root system.

Zhou Wen felt that these red roots must be related to scarlet root nodules, so he followed the red root system and searched in the direction where the roots were more developed.

As the root system grew thicker and thicker, more and more crimson kelp grew on it. Zhou Wen buried his head in the red root system and cut down all the crimson kelp that was blocking his way. Anyway, it would be eaten by the transformed Leviathan later, so it was good that he cut it down now.

Finally, after swimming more than 30 meters, I found the end of the red root. There was an even thicker root here, at least three meters in diameter, with thinner red roots extending out from it.

The entire root system is rooted in a crack in the rock, which is only three meters wide. This perfectly matches the description of the crimson root nodules in the crack in the "Illusory Leviathan Accelerated Growth Food Guide".

Moreover, this is also the source of a large area of ​​crimson kelp roots. Zhou Wen put his head into the crevice of the rock and looked inside with his headlamp.

The crevice was deep and intricate, with numerous red roots intertwined within, obstructing the view. No object matching the description of the scarlet root nodule could be seen; to find it, one had to enter the crevice.

However, Zhou Wen did not immediately enter the crevice. He had been underwater for more than 20 minutes and needed to come up for a breath before trying a different way of descending.

At that moment, a huge shadow enveloped Zhou Wen, and then a large, round eye appeared beside him—it was the transformed Leviathan.

The transformed Leviathan noticed Zhou Wen looking into the crevice in the rock. It peered in with wide eyes, just like a curious child, but compared to its enormous size, the crevice looked like a tiny crack.

"What are you looking at? Don't you have bio-radar?"

Zhou Wen thought to himself, feeling both amused and exasperated. He then pointed to the crevice in the rock and looked at the illusory Leviathan, wondering if there was anything inside.

"?" The transformed Leviathan didn't understand Zhou Wen's meaning, and its mind was filled with doubt.

Zhou Wen thought for a moment and decided to go up and catch his breath first. So he slashed the root system of the Crimson Seaweed with his iron sword, and then swam upwards while pointing upwards at the illusory Leviathan.

The transformed Leviathan understood Zhou Wen's meaning this time, so it swallowed Zhou Wen whole and then quickly rose to the surface, reaching the surface within seconds.

After surfacing, the Leviathan opened its mouth and spat out the seawater, along with Zhou Wen.

"It seems we need to find a Crimson Nodule." Zhou Wen took a few breaths to relieve his oxygen deficiency.

Zhou Wen actually wanted the Illusionary Leviathan to find the exact location of the Crimson Root Tumor, since the Illusionary Leviathan has a wide-range biological radar, which would be much more efficient. However, the Illusionary Leviathan did not know the specific appearance of the Crimson Root Tumor, so it could not understand Zhou Wen's meaning.

After resting, Zhou Wen took out another iron greatsword from the supply box, brandished it a few times in front of the illusory Leviathan, and then pointed underwater, indicating that he should return to the place where he had placed the iron greatsword.

The transformed Leviathan glanced at the iron greatsword, then nodded, and swallowed Zhou Wen into its mouth again. A few seconds later, Zhou Wen swam out of the transformed Leviathan's mouth, and in front of him was the crimson kelp root system that had just been found.

Zhou Wen nodded to the transformed Leviathan in affirmation, then picked up the large iron sword that was slashing at the root system.

Because the illusion of Leviathan brought him down, he saved ten minutes of diving time, and now he has about thirty minutes to enter the crevices and search for the Crimson Root Nodules.

After strapping the supply box to his back with bandages, Zhou Wen crawled directly into the crevice between the rocks. The three-meter-wide crevice was still quite spacious for Zhou Wen, at least it wouldn't restrict his movement.

However, there were many red roots blocking the way between the rocks, which Zhou Wen simply cut open and continued to descend.

Because it was a crevice in the rock, the light inside was increasingly dim. After only a few meters of diving, it was pitch black ahead, and we could only rely on our headlamps for illumination.

However, the headlamp's beam was too short, only illuminating the seawater in front of it. Some floating objects would occasionally drift past under the light, but nothing in the distance could be seen.

"Giggle~." Suddenly, a sound like two hard objects rubbing against each other came from below. Because it was underwater, the sound was very muffled.

Zhou Wen didn't know what the object that made the sound was, but since he was in the water, he couldn't use his strength and speed. For safety, he used his mind to conjure up the scales of a yellowtail finned fish.

Although the scales of the yellowtail wrasse were very heavy, they had little effect on Zhou Wen underwater, especially during his descent.

Zhou Wen let himself sink, while the "clucking" sound grew louder and louder.

Suddenly, the seawater below surged violently, as if something was pushing the water upwards. The next second, a shadow peered up from below and grabbed at Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen was wearing a yellow-scaled armor with bladed fins, making it impossible for him to swim. So he didn't react at all and was caught by the shadows.

Zhou Wen still trusted the defensive capabilities of the yellowtail fin scales, and it was virtually impossible for a creature living in this three-meter-wide crevice to damage the yellowtail fin scales.

The shadow grabbed Zhou Wen, and Zhou Wen also saw the general shape of the shadow. It was not the shape of a fish, but a three-fingered claw, which was about five or six meters long.

Moreover, the claws have a strange outer skin; they are not scales or skin, but bony carapaces. The bony carapaces at the knuckles are not connected, and you can see the soft flesh inside moving when the fingers move.

The claws quickly retracted, soon disappearing into a semi-circular hole formed by stone. The three fingers bent and joined together, blocking the entrance.

"Why does it look a bit like a barnacle?" In the instant he was pulled into the semi-circular hole, Zhou Wen saw a general shape.

At this moment, inside the semi-circular hole, the claws released Zhou Wen, but then the ground beneath his feet suddenly opened up, and he fell directly into a huge mouth full of sharp teeth.
