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

Zhou Wen lay on the back of the illusory Leviathan, his whole body like a lump of mud. The situation had been urgent, his nerves were on edge, and under the influence of adrenaline, his brain had ignored the pain in his body.

Now that the crisis is over and the person is in a safe environment, intense pain is spreading throughout the body, as if all the bones in the body have been damaged to varying degrees, even more severe than the damage caused by the steel worm's body inside the Leviathan armor.

"What is this?" When Zhou Wen examined his body, he found that his hands were covered with a lot of blood-red crystals, which gradually melted under the sunlight.

[Ding! Obtained Abyss Dragonfish Blood Crystal x1.]

[Ding! Abyss Dragonfish Blood Crystal: It will solidify into crystals when the temperature is below 40 degrees Celsius, and melt into a liquid when the temperature is above 40 degrees Celsius. It can be used as an adhesive.]

"Blood crystals? Aren't they just like glue?" Zhou Wen remembered where these blood crystals came from; they were from the blood that spurted out of the wound when he cut open the belly of the Abyss Dragonfish and stuck to his hand.

Since it was stained with blood, the biological encyclopedia naturally updated the biological information of the Abyssal Dragonfish.

Abyss Dragonfish

Body length: 40 meters

Weight: 300 tons

Food type: Abyss Crystals

Description: A small fish that lives in the deep sea below 3000 meters. When stimulated, its blood boils and glows red, then it launches a swift attack. It is edible, its scales can be used to make equipment, and its blood can be used as an adhesive.

"This doesn't make sense. How could a creature that lives in the deep sea be at a depth of over 200 meters?" Zhou Wen felt like he had been wronged. According to the creature's description, the abyssal dragonfish should not be here.

It was already noon. After resting for an hour or two, Zhou Wen felt the pain lessen a little, so he returned to the space inside his stomach wall.

This morning, he specifically sent messages to Jiang Haitao and Chen Xin, telling them not to feed his transformed Leviathan today, but to give them Crimson Seaweed instead. He said that it had already been delayed for a long time, and even though his body was still in pain, he still had to do these things.

Fortunately, sending the crimson seaweed only requires mental effort and does not require physical movement.

Before entering the stomach wall space, Zhou Wen gestured to the transformed Leviathan, instructing it to keep eating crimson kelp until it felt full.

The Leviathan Illusion had been waiting for Zhou Wen outside the crevice all morning without eating, and now it was time to feed all three Leviathan Illusions at once.

Next, Zhou Wen lay down in the rest area. As soon as the Crimson Seaweed came in, it sent a message to Jiang Haitao and Chen Xin via private message. After ten rounds of feeding, both of their Leviathan transformations were also fed.

During this time, there were also more than a dozen crimson sea snakes mixed in with the crimson seaweed, all of which Zhou Wen killed casually.

The next five rounds of feeding were for the transformed Leviathan to eat. Zhou Wen didn't use the grinder today; his whole body ached terribly, and he didn't have the strength to use the human grinder. He simply threw the food into the digestive pool via private message.

After finishing these tasks, Zhou Wen left the stomach wall space again and went to the back of the transformed Leviathan. He now preferred to stay outside, where the sun was shining and the sea breeze was blowing, which was much more comfortable than being in the stomach wall space.

Zhou Wen didn't waste the remaining half-day. Chen Xin and Jiang Haitao had sent him 1000 portions of charcoal yesterday, which he could use to smelt iron now that he had some free time.

In the afternoon, Jiang Haitao discovered a new type of fish in the border waters and sent it to Zhou Wen.

Rockfish

Body length: 4 meters

Weight: 2 tons

Food type: Meat

Description: A type of fish that lives on the seabed and often uses its camouflage to prey on small fish that pass by. It is edible.

According to Jiang Haitao, the reef fish was killed by his transformed Leviathan. When the transformed Leviathan was searching for supply boxes, the reef fish happened to be nearby. It suddenly pounced on the transformed Leviathan, startling it, and then was killed by a swipe of its tail.

After hearing the story, Zhou Wen was speechless. He could only describe the reef fish as a "hothead."

After that, Zhou Wen started cooking. He cut off a large piece of rockfish meat, added some scarlet kelp and three-clawed rock snail meat, and made a simple meal. He gave Jiang Haitao and Chen Xin a bowl each, and then started eating himself.

[Ding! Consuming Reef Fish Meat, Constitution +1.]

With another point added to his physique, Zhou Wen's physique reached 30 points. However, he didn't feel anything special, and his injuries didn't heal any faster. He could only say that it was a round number to make it look better.

The rest of the time was spent smelting iron. As night fell, Zhou Wen lay on the wooden platform, looking up at the starry night sky. Five or six stars, large and small, hung randomly in the air.

After the final round of iron smelting was completed and the 1000 portions of charcoal were burned, Zhou Wen obtained 10 iron ingots.

He was seriously injured today and needed to rest well. After finishing the iron smelting, Zhou Wen returned to the stomach wall space, briefly checked the various plants and organisms, and after finding no problems, went straight to sleep.

Day 24. Today is the last day of our plan to stay in the Crimson Kelp Forest.

After a night's rest, Zhou Wen's injuries had improved considerably, but he still couldn't engage in strenuous activity.

Early this morning, Jiang Haitao and Chen Xin entered the Deep Blue Sea. Fortunately, they were not chased by the giant creatures when they transformed into Leviathans. They then sent over two Deep Blue Treasure Chests.

Just like yesterday, let the Transformed Leviathan eat a lot. First, send 10 tons to Jiang Haitao and Chen Xin each. The remaining 40 tons will be used for one meal for the Transformed Leviathan, and the remaining three meals will be stored in the Deep Blue Treasure Chest.

After eating and taking, the crimson kelp forest has become completely bare, with only some red roots remaining on the seabed. It seems that it won't be long before another crimson kelp forest grows up.

Actually, Zhou Wen could leave now, but he was unwilling to leave just like that. He had already gutted the Abyss Dragonfish yesterday, so even if it didn't die, it wouldn't have much fighting power. Therefore, he wanted to go and take another look.

Two hours later, Zhou Wen made two more buoyancy devices, then gathered all the necessary items and had the illusionary Leviathan transport him to the crevice in the rock from yesterday.

Half an hour later, Zhou Wen returned to the underwater space of the huge crimson root system and used the buoyancy device to sink again. Today, a large number of red objects were floating in the seawater.

Zhou Wen grabbed a handful and found they were all blood crystals. The world system automatically collected these blood crystals floating in the water, which condensed into a three-centimeter-long cube in Zhou Wen's hand. As it slowly descended, nearly 100 blood crystals had been collected.

Reaching a depth of 200 meters, Zhou Wen donned the razor-finned yellowtail scale armor and continued his descent. This time, he encountered no more giant creatures, only occasionally passing by scarlet long-snout fish.

Finally, at a distance of about 300 meters, Zhou Wen reached the bottom of the huge crimson root system. Due to the light, he could only see a crimson root nodule in front of him.

However, based on the diameter of this huge crimson root system, there are at least ten crimson root nodules.

"This is... a supply box?" Zhou Wen looked down and found a supply box wrapped among a large number of thin, crimson roots.
