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

On the 33rd day, the Transformation Leviathan began to operate. After putting 20 steel ingots into the storage cabinet, Zhou Wen took out some fish bones to try to make honeycomb bone pieces.

First, they used fish bones that were about 5 meters long. Although these fish bones were not particularly large, they were still quite large compared to Zhou Wen's. However, after trying them, the blueprints did not respond at all.

Zhou Wen could only use 10-meter fish bones. The 10-meter fish bones had already been cut into five sections when he collected the fish meat earlier, and they could barely fit in the space of his stomach wall when piled up.

The transformed Leviathan is now 80 meters long, with the side length of its stomach wall space increased to 7.5 meters and its height to 5.5 meters. It can still easily hold a skeleton of 10 fish.

Zhou Wen tried to make it again, and this time he succeeded. The 10-meter fish skeleton turned into blue light and then quickly compressed into a three-meter size.

As the blue light dissipated, a hexagonal bone plate, three meters long and 30 centimeters thick, made entirely of bone and filled with honeycomb-like holes, appeared before Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen caught it with his hands and found that it was not heavy, only about 200 jin (100 catties).

"A 10-meter-long fish bone can only be made into one bone slice?"

Zhou Wen frowned as he looked at the honeycomb bone pieces in his hand. Currently, he only had three sets of 10-meter-long fish bones, which, according to this standard, could only be used to make three honeycomb bone pieces.

In other words, to create the honeycomb bone fragments that would cover the entire body of the Leviathan, he would need to kill three thousand 10-meter-long creatures.

It's not that Zhou Wen lacks the ability; they're just 10-meter-long creatures. Given enough time, killing three thousand wouldn't be a problem. The real issue is where to find so many 10-meter-long creatures.

The skeleton of the remaining 20-meter-long creature was too large to fit in the stomach wall space, so Zhou Wen could only test the hardness of the honeycomb bone pieces first.

Since the honeycomb bone plates are made of a similar material to the giant bone shield, Zhou Wen didn't waste time testing them with iron and steel weapons, and directly used the fin-shaped broadsword and the chelicerae-shaped hammer.

Zhou Wen raised the fin-shaped broadsword with both hands and used all his strength to slash fiercely at the honeycomb bone slices, carving a groove two or three centimeters deep into the surface of the honeycomb bone slices.

Its defensive capabilities are somewhat weaker than the Giant Bone Shield, but that's to be expected. The Giant Bone Shield uses the bone armor from the Giant Bone Leviathan, while this honeycomb bone piece is only the skeleton of a ten-meter-tall creature, so it naturally cannot be compared.

However, this honeycomb bone fragment could withstand Zhou Wen's full-force strike with his fin-shaped broadsword. With a thickness of 30 centimeters, it only took two or three centimeters to cut in, yet its defensive power was already very strong. The stone foundation might have been shattered by this strike.

After testing its hardness, Zhou Wen used the chelicerae hammer to test its impact resistance. Under the full force of the hammer, the honeycomb bone pieces only dented slightly by one centimeter on the surface, and they were very tough, with no signs of cracking on the surface.

"The strength is acceptable, and it is very light, much stronger than a stone foundation."

A stone foundation weighs about two tons, while a honeycomb bone plate weighs only 100 kilograms, which is 20 times lighter than a stone foundation and has a much stronger defensive capability. Zhou Wen was quite satisfied with this.

After completing these steps, the transformed Leviathan entered the feeding phase. While waiting for the seaweed to enter the stomach wall space, Zhou Wen suddenly discovered that a small diamond sea snake was still wrapped around his neck.

Judging from the situation, the little diamond sea serpent must have been on his neck all night, which means it also participated in the expulsion of parasites from the stomach wall space of the giant bone Leviathan.

Yesterday, Zhou Wen was busy preparing for pest control and subconsciously ignored the existence of the little diamond sea snake. Jiang Haitao and Chen Xin also didn't notice it. Perhaps because the little diamond sea snake was too dark and didn't move, they thought it was a protective gear that Zhou Wen was wearing around his neck.

I fed the little diamond sea snake some fish and charcoal. After it was full, I put it in the Crimson Oxygen Tank to prevent it from accidentally running around again.

The little diamond sea serpent is still too young. If it dies by accident, the loss will be huge. Since the little diamond sea serpent can be taken along on pest control missions, it will be a strong fighting force when it grows up and explores various dungeons.

Splash~ Splash~.

As soon as Zhou Wen placed the small diamond sea serpent into the crimson oxygen tank, the sound of churning seawater came from his esophagus. With a thought, Zhou Wen put on the blade-finned yellow ribbonfish scale armor.

A short while later, the esophageal diaphragm opened, and seawater poured into the stomach wall space, along with a large amount of seaweed. The water level rose rapidly. Zhou Wen used a powerful headlamp to shine into the stomach wall space to check if any parasites had entered.

The bright light quickly swept across the entire stomach wall space. No parasites were found, but after the esophageal diaphragm closed and seawater stopped flowing in, he found that the water level in the stomach wall space was much higher than before. The seawater level had exceeded the stone foundation and submerged the stone platform by 1 centimeter.

Zhou Wen had been paying attention to the increase in seawater level within the stomach wall space. As the size of the transformed Leviathan increased, the stomach wall space also increased, and the appetite also increased, resulting in the swallowing of more seawater and a naturally higher seawater level.

In fact, the ratio between the seawater and the stomach wall space is the same as before, but Zhou Wen's stone foundation cannot grow along with the stomach wall space, so it will gradually be submerged by the seawater.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Wen added a stone floor to the stone foundation. The stone floor was two centimeters thick, which raised the stone platform by 1 centimeter above the water level, so that the seawater would not submerge the stone platform in the short term.

After increasing the height of the stone platform, the seawater in the stomach wall space had receded. Zhou Wen then took out a manual seaweed grinder and began to grind the seaweed, adding a scarlet root nodule.

After the first round of seaweed crushing was completed, Zhou Wen thought for a moment, took out the 20 steel ingots he had obtained yesterday, and added other materials to make two manual seaweed crushers, giving one to Jiang Haitao and one to Chen Xin.

After thinking for a moment, he realized that if he wanted to give up the "Pioneer" title, he could only let Jiang Haitao and Chen Xin catch up first, and either of them could get the title.

Giving them a human-powered seaweed grinder can help them skip the digestion stage, allowing them to travel an extra distance each day compared to other survivors.

After a period of time, the entire feeding phase ended, and Zhou Wen also crushed all the seaweed. He did not encounter any parasites during this period. He transformed into Leviathan, skipped the digestion phase, and entered the supply box phase.

With nothing else to do, Zhou Wen opened the world chat channel, intending to read a novel, but the channel was flooded with red duel messages.

[Turns out, you get one Duel Ticket just by entering the Deep Blue Sea. I thought you had to rely on luck to get them.]

[Haha, in the underwater maze trial, killing someone would trigger an attack from the opponent's phasing Leviathan, so I didn't dare to do it. Now I don't have to worry about that problem.]

[My neighbor hoards food, I hoard guns; my neighbor is my granary. For this day, I've basically exchanged all my basic materials for weapons and equipment. I've been starving every day, but the day has finally arrived.]

[Ding! A survivor has challenged you to a duel using a [Duel Ticket]. Please prepare your weapons and armor as soon as possible and enter the duel arena.]

As Zhou Wenzheng looked at the red notifications of duels being challenged to others, suddenly! A notification sounded in his mind: someone had challenged him to a duel.
