After sending Ning Naixin off, Ye Xiaohui excitedly ran to the beach. Chen Chu suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
He didn't expect the naive receptionist to believe him and think that he could pick up antiques by the beach.
No, there was also the wooden Ye Xiaohui.
On the contrary, the secretary was smarter. She did not believe him at all, so she went to cram school to learn.
After some thought, Chen Chu took out a chair and a parasol to the left side of the dock. From there, he could see the two women on the beach.
If anything happened, he could rush over in time.
After all, not only were they his employees, but they were also tricked into digging for treasures because of his words.
The warehouse dock was built on a beach covered in gravel. It was a few meters above the sea surface with its back against the seawall, like a square seawall protruding out.
Outside the dock gate and on both sides of the beach, a trench more than ten meters wide and ten meters deep had been dug out to facilitate the entry and exit of cargo ships.
This was also the reason why the giant lizard could quietly enter and exit the water tank.
Lying on the sun chair, the light in Chen Chu's eyes gradually dimmed. He stared blankly at the sea in front of him, and his consciousness had already arrived at the giant lizard.
After a night of cruising, the giant lizard had already crossed more than 1,000 kilometers and passed through the middle of the South China Sea. It had once again arrived at the place where it had encountered the Tiger-Head Mutant Fish last time.
However, the 13-meter-long Giant Iguana had grown into a 24-meter-long beast in just half a month. It was a true small overlord of the ocean.
Of course, this was referring to the size of the giant lizard. In terms of strength, even the largest blue whale in the sea was not a match for the giant lizard. It could easily tear it apart.
In the dark, hundred-meter-deep water, a black, ferocious beast wagged its tail, scaring the small fish around it into fleeing in panic.
The giant lizard began to dive down along the oceanic plate under the island. It could already cover a range of 50 meters and spread out its vision so that it could discover the situation at the first moment.
Last time, Chen Chu had followed the southern side of Northern Rock Island, facing the coast, and dived in a straight line to 700 meters.
This time, the giant lizard came to the east side of the island and dived in the direction of the central part of the South China Sea. It swam back and forth within a range of ten kilometers.
This way, the area covered by the search would be larger, although it would take time.
300 meters, 350 meters…
As the giant lizard dove deeper and deeper, the surroundings became darker and oppressive. Other than corals, aquatic plants, and some small fish, nothing could be seen.
Especially when the Giant Iguana had descended to 500 meters and was surrounded by rock layers, the number of creatures became even rarer. Occasionally, a small fish would swim past.
Compared to other seas, where the seabed was still full of vitality after diving to 500 meters, this place was like a barren desert, making the giant lizard instinctively vigilant.
Puff!
Just when Chen Chu thought that he would have to dive to a depth of nearly a thousand meters before he could find anything, a ferocious Tiger-Head Fish suddenly entered the range of his sensory perception.
It was as ferocious as the Mutant Tiger-Headed Fish that he had eaten last time. Its entire body was covered in sharp poisonous thorns.
However, this one was only half a meter long. It lay on the bottom of the sea and gnawed at a type of low dark red coral on the surface of the rock with its sharp teeth. Occasionally, small fish and shrimps would appear, but they would also be swallowed in one bite.
"A half-meter-long Tiger-Head Fish is also considered a mutation. After all, under normal circumstances, this kind of fish is only two to three catties in size.”
"Besides, no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat.”
Thinking of this, the giant lizard waved its tail and appeared above the Mutant Tiger-Head Fish. Its huge claws swept up the water and slammed down, killing it with a single claw.
Kacha!
Half a meter long, thirty to forty pounds of fish was thrown into the giant lizard's mouth that was bigger than a van. It chewed and swallowed it like it was chewing time.
After eating the fish, the giant lizard lay there and focused on its stomach. It immediately felt a weak heat flow spreading as its stomach digested.
"As expected, it's different from ordinary fish. Although the energy contained in its meat is not ten times that of a large mutated fish, it's almost three times that of an ordinary fish.”
Immediately, the giant lizard's spirit was roused, and it began to search even more attentively.
Although it was a pity that the mutated beasts did not appear, it was not bad to encounter these ordinary mutated fish. Eating one was equivalent to eating three.
Following this direction, the Giant Iguana dived for twenty meters. After swimming less than a hundred meters, it found a 'small' Tiger-Head Fish that was sixty centimeters long.
He immediately leaped over, grabbed it with his claws, and threw it into his mouth.
One, two…
Diving down towards the north, Chen Chu found that the number of Mutant Tiger-Head Fish was increasing. He could catch one every ten meters.
In just an hour, the giant lizard had eaten more than 30 of them, which was close to 1,000 kilograms of seafood.
"After your clone's hard work, you have obtained 67 Evolution Points.”
" Your Constitution 6.7."
The harvest in this hour was equivalent to half a day.
At this moment, the giant lizard was 800 meters deep. The surrounding water pressure had reached 80 times the atmospheric pressure, and it was pressing down on every inch of the giant lizard's body.
However, what made the giant lizard stop was that there was a geological fault in front of it.
The bottom of the fault was deep, dark, and silent, like the entrance to an abyss.
At this moment, the giant lizard paused." Wait, why is the water temperature here similar to the surface of the sea?"”
Under normal circumstances, because there was no light or heat source in the deep sea, the water temperature was about four degrees Celsius, which was bone-chilling.
However, through the skin under its scales, the giant lizard could feel that the water temperature here was higher than 400 meters, about 15 degrees Celsius.
"Is there an active volcano down there?"
"Furthermore, those Tiger-Head Fish disappeared here.”
Pondering for a moment, the giant lizard wagged its tail and decided to continue exploring.
Now that the Giant Iguana had grown in size, its body density had increased. Its depth had already exceeded 1,000 meters, and it was estimated to be around 1,500 meters.
Coupled with the visual perception, powerful strength, and the explosive speed of the armed color, he was confident that he could escape even if he encountered danger.
"As expected, the water temperature is still rising."
In the pitch-black trench, the giant lizard had just swam down 30 meters when it clearly felt that the water temperature had risen by a few degrees Celsius. It could not help but feel curious.
He continued to dive.
Nine hundred meters, one thousand meters…
When it reached 1,100 meters, the surrounding atmospheric pressure had already reached 110. It was as if there were heavy hammers hammering its entire body from all directions.
At this point, the giant lizard's muscles could not help but bulge and tighten, resisting the powerful pressure that wanted to squeeze it flat.
At the same time, the giant lizard also reached the bottom of the trench.
This place was like a huge crack on the bottom of the sea. It was about 50 meters wide and extended all the way down.
As soon as the giant lizard reached the bottom of the ditch, it found a mutated Tiger-Head Fish.
The Tiger-Head Fish was a meter long and was wandering on the surface of the crack, gnawing at the dark red coral growing on the surrounding rocks.
At this moment, the giant lizard also noticed that there were dark red coral-like strange things growing under and around the crack.
Without any hesitation, the giant lizard's body flashed, and with a speed that did not match its huge size, it appeared on top of the Tiger-Head Fish in the blink of an eye.
Boom!
Under the giant lizard's terrifying claw, the surrounding ground and seawater instantly shook, and the hard rocks even cracked into spiderweb cracks.
As for the Tiger-Head Fish, all its bones were shattered by the terrifying power, turning into a lump of flesh and blood.
He picked up the fish meat and threw it into his mouth. His sharp and hard steel teeth directly chewed the remaining poisonous stingers and swallowed them in a few bites.
The giant lizard continued to dive down the crack. After swimming for about eighty meters, it found two Tiger-Head Fish. They were also one meter long and weighed about a hundred pounds.
At this point, the strange dark red substance also increased.
Without thinking about why these Tiger-Head Fish liked to gnaw on coral, the Giant Iguana instantly rushed forward and slapped one of them to death with its claw.
At the same time, just as the other Tiger-Head Fish was startled and was about to swim away, a black tail that was like a mountain swept across and whipped its body with terrifying power.
Boom!
Under the violent force, the seawater exploded, and the entire fish was whipped onto the rock wall more than ten meters away, turning into a mass of flesh and blood.
After eating the two Tiger-Head Fish, the Giant Iguana's stomach immediately emitted a warm current. The three one-meter-long Tiger-Head Fish contained more energy than the half-meter-long Tiger-Head Fish.
"After your clone's hard work, you have obtained 97 Evolution Points.”
" Your Constitution 9.7."
Following the sound of the notification, the Giant Iguana followed the crevice and dived all the way to 1,400 meters. It had already reached its diving limit.
Moreover, the width of the crack widened here. The dark red coral material was all over the place. It gathered together and emitted a faint red light and high temperature.
That's right, the change in the water temperature was caused by this dark red substance.
Meanwhile, the Tiger-Head Fish were gnawing on the new matter on the dark red coral.
Looking at the deeper seabed, the giant lizard was a little puzzled.
"Strange, we are all mutated creatures. Why can they dive deeper but I can't?”
In its confusion, the giant lizard retreated 500 meters and returned to the bottom of the 1,300-meter-deep sea. After making itself feel more comfortable, it lay there motionless.
Chen Chu was prepared to wait here.
This should be the nest of the Mutant Tiger-Headed Fish, as one would swim up from below from time to time.
The one-meter-long Tiger-Head Fish could provide five times the energy of ordinary fish, which was far more than the energy it could obtain from hunting in the sea.
…………
In the afternoon, Ning Naixin and her husband came back with a bucket in slippers. From afar, they said excitedly,""Boss, look, we dug up a lot of small abalones, sea clams, and even caught a big green crab.”
Looking at the two happy girls, Chen Chu smiled and said,""Aren't you here to dig up antiques?”
"Ah…! Yeah, we're here to dig up antiques.”Ning Naixin was stunned for a moment before she reacted. Then, her face was filled with regret.
They had been playing all morning and had completely forgotten that they were here to hunt for treasure.
Chen Chu waved his hand and encouraged him." It's okay. We can continue searching after dinner."”
"Let's go. When I ordered takeout earlier, I also ordered your portion. It's a huge portion of spicy frog fish.”
Hearing that there was food, the regret on Ning Naixin's face was instantly swept away. She jumped up happily."Thank you, Boss. You're so kind.”
"Thank you, boss." Ye Xiaohui also thanked him, but her expression was lacking.
As Ning Naixin chattered, they ate lunch. After the two girls rested for a while, they began to prepare for the afternoon outing, such as reapplying their sunblock.
The scene of the two beauties putting on sunblock was a feast for the eyes. At least, Chen Chu was enjoying it. His fair arms and thighs…
Unfortunately, after walking along the coast for several miles in the afternoon, the two women still did not find anything.
When they finally left, Ning Naixin and the others excitedly carried two buckets of small abalones, clams, and conches back.
As for the two large green crabs he caught, he gave them to Chen Chu.
At night, Chen Chu cultivated for a while before turning off the lights and going to bed.
However, he didn't know if it was intentional or if he had forgotten that there was another roast chicken on the table not far from the door.
The night became quieter as time passed.
At 12 o'clock, suddenly, not far from the iron pillar in the corner of the warehouse, the air rippled again, and then a few lines flashed past.
Crackle!
In the darkness, the soft sound of barefoot stepping on the ground sounded again.
However, there was clearly nothing there, which made the atmosphere seem a little gloomy and strange.
