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

The creature was cleaved in two by Zhou Wen's blade, and a large amount of blood flowed out, quickly staining the surrounding seawater red. The creature struggled briefly before losing its life.

Although the creature was dead, its mouth was still tightly gripping Zhou Wen's body. Zhou Wen had no choice but to put away his weapon and use his hands to pry open the large mouth full of sharp teeth.

"Is this a catfish?" After being freed from the giant mouth's restraint, Zhou Wen glanced at the dead creature in front of him, then touched it and opened the creature encyclopedia to check its basic information.

Snake-striped catfish

Body length: 5 meters

Weight: 500 kg

Food type: Meat

Description: A type of catfish with skin patterns resembling snakeskin, which is edible.

"Edible." The encyclopedia entry for this snake-striped catfish doesn't contain anything special; it's a fairly common type of creature. However, since it's mentioned as edible, it means it can increase attributes.

Now that he was in the labyrinth trial, Zhou Wen didn't care much. He simply used his iron scalpel to cut off a piece of snake-patterned catfish meat and ate it bit by bit.

While eating, Zhou Wen observed his surroundings and discovered that this was a dead end formed by three high walls. However, the space here was larger than Zhou Wen's starting point, with a gap of ten meters. At the innermost part of this space, against the wall, there was a supply box.

[Ding! Consuming catfish meat increases Strength and Constitution by 1.]

"It's alright, it added two attributes."

Since there are 5-meter-long snake-patterned catfish in the maze, there is a possibility of encountering even larger creatures later on. It is difficult for Zhou Wen to exert his full strength underwater, so it is always good to increase his attributes.

After finishing the fish and adding attribute points, Zhou Wenyou went to the innermost part of the space and opened the storage box on the ground.

[Ding! You have obtained 10 Glass.]

"Glass, it's alright, there just happens to be a supply box that can be used to store fish and meat."

Snake-patterned catfish meat can increase two attributes, one of which is strength. In the eyes of other survivors, it is very valuable and cannot be left here.

Afterwards, Zhou Wen used his steel longsword to cut the snake-patterned catfish carcass into five pieces and put them into the supply box.

After doing all this, Zhou Wen looked at the dead end in front of him, then looked up at the illusory Leviathan above. He didn't know what the illusory Leviathan had interpreted his gesture as; it could be a creature, or it could be a supply box, but it certainly didn't mean "exit."

There was no other way, because even Zhou Wen didn't know what the exit looked like. He could only roughly guess what the exit would look like based on the passageways built by the high walls of the maze.

Furthermore, without paper and pen, they couldn't draw a rough outline and could only rely on their hands to gesture, which was too abstract for Leviathan to understand.

Zhou Wen could only swim upstream again, preparing to give the Illusionary Leviathan more specific gestures. But after swimming halfway, the Illusionary Leviathan suddenly shook its head, as if it had discovered something, then flicked its tail a few times and quickly disappeared.

"Huh? What have we discovered now?" Zhou Wen was a little confused.

Soon, the illusory Leviathan returned and led Zhou Wen back. It seemed that it knew Zhou Wen could only move within two walls, so the illusory Leviathan led the way at the front of the maze.

"We should have found the exit this time, right?" Zhou Wen watched as the illusory Leviathan led him back, indicating that the illusory Leviathan knew that the dead end was impassable, so this time it shouldn't lead him into an area that was impossible to go through.

After escaping the dead end, the transformed Leviathan led Zhou Wen onto another path. This time, the distance they swam was much greater, and Zhou Wen swam for a full hour without the transformed Leviathan stopping.

But this is also a good thing. The underwater maze is quite large to begin with, so if the Leviathan stops, it means that the exit has not been found.

Just as Zhou Wen was swimming along with the illusory Leviathan, a huge creature suddenly appeared in the sea above the maze. It seemed to be another illusory Leviathan. In an instant, the two illusory Leviathans gradually met.

The two phasing Leviathans look similar, but the one that just appeared is noticeably smaller than Zhou Wen's phasing Leviathan, making it easy to distinguish.

The presence of the Leviathan illusion indicates the existence of other individuals, but they are likely on the other side of the wall, and we are unlikely to encounter them for the time being.

The two phasing Leviathans didn't clash; they just glanced at each other and then went about their own business.

Then Zhou Wen realized something was wrong, because the two phasing Leviathans only briefly met, then one went left and the other right, and they never met again.

"Which way leads to the exit?" But Zhou Wen had no other choice but to continue following his transformed Leviathan.

Another hour passed, and after swimming through several forks in the road, the Phantom Leviathans reappeared in the sea above the maze, this time in groups of 20. They were all gathered together, doing something unknown. Zhou Wen's Phantom Leviathan swam over quickly and then stopped moving.

"There are 20 Leviathans gathered here. This should be the exit."

Zhou Wen was still some distance from the area where the Leviathans were gathered, but there were no forks or turns in the road; it was a straight road, and the exit was probably at the end of the road.

Zhou Wen swam over a hundred meters quickly, but the closer he got to the area where the Leviathans gathered, the more he felt something was wrong, because the seawater was tinged with a faint red, and human remains were floating at the exit.

Zhou Wen frowned, slowed down, and slowly approached the exit of this section of road before looking inside.

This is a huge space, at least 100 meters in diameter, and in the middle of this space, there is a large creature about 20 meters long.

The creature resembles a lobster, with a bright red body, a thick shell, and two tentacles covered in sharp spikes that lash out like whips.

The most striking feature is the lobster's two claws, which are not shaped like pincers, but rather like axes.

Around this lobster creature, a large number of human corpses floated. Most of the corpses had no equipment on them and were just ordinary survivors who must have wandered into this place by mistake.

Many of these corpses were smashed into a pulp, unrecognizable as human. They should be the 20 Leviathan-like symbiotes that gathered above the maze.

"20 meters should be enough to handle it." Zhou Wen directly added five free attribute points to strength, bringing his strength to 43.5. He then donned the bladed fin yellow ribbon fish scale armor and entered this space.

As soon as Zhou Wen entered this space, the lobster creature spotted him and quickly moved its six hammer-like claws, charging towards him like a charging tank.
