Deep Sea Gunner: I kill monsters to increase attack power

Chapter 3 Deadly Trap, Tentacle Fish
There are two worlds inside and outside the city.

If you just look at the city, it is no different from the urban environment where Chu Lingjun lived in his previous life, with all kinds of high-rise buildings lined up and bustling.

But as soon as you walk out of the city, you feel like you have come to a virgin forest.

The dense and tall trees stand like tall buildings, densely packed, covering the sky and the sun, with no end in sight.

Green is the main theme here.

Inside the city is the human world.

Outside the city is a world where other animals and plants grow wildly.

The plants were also affected by the revival of spiritual energy, and they were tall and majestic, covering the sky and the sun.

Wuling Hongguang slowly drove out of the city along the small road opened in the forest. Chu Lingjun slightly opened the car window, and the salty sea breeze rushed towards him. It was the smell of the sea.

In this parallel world, due to the melting of the glaciers at the north and south poles, the global sea level has risen by 66 meters, and the economically prosperous coastal cities in the east and south of Longguo are almost submerged.

Rongcheng is located in Guangdong Province in the southern part of the Dragon Kingdom. All the prosperous cities that Chu Lingjun was familiar with in the previous life are gone.

Yangcheng, Hong Kong City, Buddha City, Casino City, Chan City... Today, the only surviving water city in the Pearl River Delta is Pengcheng, which is on a higher terrain.

But despite this, no one dared to live in Pengcheng, because the land around it was flooded, and it was completely reduced to an isolated island on the sea.

The coastline of Guangdong Province moved to the northwest, and a large number of cities moved to the Lingnan hilly area, where the altitude is nearly 200 meters, and it is not afraid of flooding.

But despite this, the spirit of the Dragon Kingdom and the people of the world is still tense.

Because according to these years of detection, the global sea level is still slowly rising, it is like a greedy monster, swallowing up the land bit by bit!

This makes the people of the whole country and the governments of all countries extremely panic and anxious, because according to the detection of scientists, the melting of all the ice and snow in the Arctic will cause the sea level to rise by 6 meters, and the Antarctic ice sheet will cause the sea level to rise by 60 meters. If the two melt together, it will be 66 meters.

However, now that the ice in the north and south poles has melted away, why will the sea level continue to rise?

Where did this extra water come from?
There is a big secret hidden in the barren sea!
Fortunately, the rate of sea level rise is relatively slow, about one meter per year, and countries still have time to think about countermeasures.

……

Three hours later, everyone successfully arrived at the Blood Forest, and the journey was safe and sound.

Chu Lingjun got out of the car and saw a large blood-red forest standing on the black coastline covered with mud.

These woods are very strange, just growing at the junction of land and sea, like a bright dividing line.

When the tide is high, the branches of these red trees are almost completely submerged.

When the tide is low, they are densely developed, and their strong and knotted roots are completely exposed. The roots are intertwined and intertwined in the soil, intertwined into root spaces, which looks very strange.

That's right, the Blood Forest is the mangrove forest of Chu Lingjun's previous life, which evolved after absorbing spiritual power.

Their bodies have become bigger and stronger. Although they are still "Wave Dispelling Pioneers" and "Coastal Guards", the trees have turned into a blood-red color!

Chu Lingjun stared at the red forest in front of him with narrowed eyes, and his heart jumped. It is said that in some large-scale blood forests, some individuals mutated due to absorbing too much spiritual power, and evolved special abilities!

They are no longer satisfied with photosynthesis, and will hunt and eat meat, just like the Venus flytrap and pitcher plant in the previous life, very dangerous!
Immediately Chu Lingjun looked at a large red forest that was almost invisible in front of him, and the spiritual power in his body was running more fiercely, and said in a deep voice: "We are hunting on the coastline. The environment in the blood forest is complicated, and it is easy to encounter ambushes!"

As soon as Chu Lingjun finished speaking, Guan Buyu echoed, "I agree with Chu Lingjun's opinion."

She looked at the bloody forest in front of her, which was so red that it almost reflected half of the sky, and she also felt a little scared in her heart. She felt as if she had come to a foreign planet, and she hid behind Zhao Hao in fear, clutching his arm in fear. Said.

Zhao Hao patted his girlfriend's head and comforted him, "Well, we're still just enlightened sea masters, and we're not suitable for fighting in the water."

"And the requirements for the autumn assessment are very simple, as long as we each turn in three wild sea beasts, we don't need to go into the Blood Forest."

"That's good." Guan Buyu stuck out his tongue at his boyfriend.

There are three other materials needed to advance, one of which is [Chiyang Xuezhi], which is a unique spiritual plant in the Blood Forest.Chu Lingjun stared at the blood forest in front of him and thought to himself.

But this time there is no rush, just look for it if you can find it, if you can't just wait for the next time, next time, or next time... next time!

Today, I mainly came here to familiarize myself with the environment. Chu Lingjun has always been very patient.

"Wow wow..."

Waves of waves came crashing from a distance, but as soon as they approached the shore, they were immediately wiped out by the Blood Forest without a sound.

At this time, it was just during the high tide period, and a large number of blood forests were submerged, leaving only the crimson canopy. At first glance, it looked like gorgeous red flowers blooming on the blue sea, picturesque.

The Blood Forest looks quiet and peaceful on the surface, but there are countless crises hidden under the water!

The Blood Forest, like the mangrove forest in the previous life, is a breeding paradise for a large number of animals and plants. There are countless sea animals inhabiting it, such as giant-eyed water rats, mud crabs, ground lizards, and a fishing cat.

"Help... help, help..."

Just as the eight people were looking at the black beach, a figure suddenly emerged from the water not far from under the mangrove tree, screaming in fear, which startled everyone!
I saw that the suddenly drilled figure was covered in blood, bloody and bloody.

His upper body emerged from the water, but his lower body seemed to be entangled by something. The figure struggled frantically but couldn't shake it off, and the water splashed everywhere.

What made the eight of them tense the most was that this person was wearing the school uniform of Rongcheng University!
"It's from our school, let's save him quickly!" Qi Ya was startled, and hurriedly said.

"I'm an assassin, I'm fast, I'll go!" Duan Feng rushed out without saying a word, with so many beautiful girls here today, he couldn't help but want to show off!

Although Zhao Hao, Wang Xiaomi and other people felt that the incident happened suddenly, they also felt that it was important to save people first...

"return!"

At this moment, a shout suddenly rang out in everyone's ears!

Duan Feng, who had already rushed into the sea, was suddenly pulled back!
It's Chu Lingjun!

"What's the matter, right now we need to save people..."

"Don't you think this person's actions are a bit strange?" Duan Feng was interrupted by Chu Lingjun before he could finish his sentence.

Chu Lingjun narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the struggling figure in the distance: "Look carefully, isn't this person's movements a little stiff, and he keeps repeating them?"

"Hey, this seems to be true," Chu Lingjun's assistant Si Yao immediately caught up with the train of thought, "That person's movements are indeed a bit strange!"

Being interrupted by Chu Lingjun, everyone immediately felt that something was wrong.

"Third brother, what do you mean..." The well-informed Zhao Hao suddenly thought of something.

"Try it and you'll know." Chu Lingjun said as he took off his backpack, unzipped it, and took out a piece of raw meat with blood on it.

Taking a closer look, this raw flesh is crystal clear, with spiritual power overflowing, it is the flesh and blood of sea beasts.

Chu Lingjun threw the meat at the man who cried for help, and suddenly a strange scene appeared!

I saw the man splitting himself into "five horses and quarters", and then when the screen changed, it turned into several tentacles!
These tentacles were like sharks smelling blood, excitedly pounced on this piece of raw meat, and then quickly jumped back to the surface of the water.

Immediately there was a sound of chewing and chewing under the water surface, the sea water boiled, and the blood stained the sea water red!
"This...is this a tentacle fish?"

Everyone who witnessed the whole process, still can't understand at this time?
The so-called man who called for help just now was a fake, a bait to lure them over!

"That's right, it's the tentacle fish!" Chu Lingjun replied with an ugly expression.

Tentacle fish sea beast, a sinister and cunning fish sea beast, with dozens of tentacles growing on its body.

Its tentacles can not only attack and entangle the enemy, but also have a large number of pigment cells growing on the surface of the tentacles like octopuses and chameleons, which can mimic transformation. The man who called for help just now was transformed by it.

At the same time, it can simulate a few simple notes in its mouth to lure its prey!

The frightening thing is that with the improvement of the tentacle fish's cultivation level, it can also directly launch illusion attacks on the hunter, making it hard to guard against!

Fortunately, what appeared in front of everyone at this time was only the lowest-level first-level sea beast.

"Chu Lingjun, how did you find out?" Si Yao looked at Chu Lingjun in astonishment. She felt that Chu Lingjun today was a little different from her previous impression.

"Yes, if it wasn't for Lingjun's quicker reaction, we might be lured into the sea at this time..." Guan Buyu also said in fear.

The thought of being lured into the sea made everyone shudder!

This barren sea is really dangerous, everyone was almost lured and killed by sea beasts when they came here!
Chu Lingjun, who showed a lot of performance, immediately became the object of attention in the 201 female dormitory.

As far as they knew, Chu Lingjun in dormitory 404 had the lowest cultivation level. Fortunately, Chu Lingjun broke through to the three orifices before the assessment, otherwise he would hold everyone back. They didn't expect Chu Lingjun to save him all at once Everyone died.

"Old San Niu, how did you see this?" Zhao Hao walked over and patted Chu Lingjun on the shoulder vigorously.

"I didn't see it at all." Wang Xiaomi shook his head with a sigh.

"I didn't either..." Duan Feng looked embarrassed, he was the last person to be afraid of among the crowd, he was the fastest to rush just now.

So when he found out that it was a tentacle fish trap, Duan Feng's feet softened immediately.

Don't 6, Chu Lingjun smiled and said: "It's just that it feels a little abnormal. We didn't see anyone when we came, but suddenly someone came out to ask for help. It's just a coincidence."

"For the sake of safety, it is better to handle it carefully."

In fact, as soon as Chu Lingjun came to the coast, he had already checked the surrounding area carefully!
Another benefit brought by the recovery of the ocean's spiritual power is that the ocean is extremely polluted, the sea water is very clear, and the visibility is very high.

Chu Lingjun was 100% sure that when he swept across that area just now, there was nothing but clear sea water, so suddenly a person came out to ask for help, Chu Lingjun must be [-]% on guard!

Everyone praised Chu Lingjun a few more words, and Chu Lingjun responded modestly.

After the episode just now, everyone moved further away from the blood forest and the sea, and slowly searched for sea beasts along the beach.

Chu Lingjun gathered his attention and looked around more carefully. The spiritual power in his body was also rushing wildly, maintaining a state that could explode at any time.

What he didn't say just now is that the tentacle fish is a kind of bottom-dwelling fish. It usually lives on the bottom of the sea and rarely appears on the sea surface.

This kind of sea beast is rarely encountered by sea masters in Rongcheng!
This is also the main reason why Zhao Hao, Duan Feng and others didn't immediately think that this would be a tentacle fish trap.

This is like ordinary people who enter the forest and will guard against tigers and brown bears, but they will not guard against lions.

Chu Lingjun is also wary of this because he has read a lot of extracurricular books.

Thinking of this, Chu Lingjun's heart tensed up, and he ran wildly. Did the sudden tentacle fish appear in the Blood Forest by chance, or was it accidental or man-made?

Was the attack just now an instinctive hunting by the sea beast or was it planned for a long time?

If it had been planned for a long time, what was the motive for attacking the eight of them?
A large number of questions suddenly appeared in Chu Lingjun's mind, which made him puzzled and made him more cautious about the next itinerary.

Among the crowd, Qi Ya, who had black silk and long legs, couldn't help but cast her eyes on Chu Lingjun.

She stared deeply at Chu Lingjun with her beautiful eyes, clenched her fists tucked into her sleeves, her eyes were a little dark and gloomy.
