Chapter 52: Across the Thermocline
"Hang——"
At sunset.
In front of the island where Han Feng lived, an urgent dragon roar sounded from the sea.
"Ah."
Han Feng and Ao Xue, who were living in a cave on the island, couldn't help but change their expressions when they heard the voice.
Because they heard the anxiety in the voice.
And this sound was made by the dragon python that had returned from exploring and hunting. Obviously something must have happened, otherwise it would not have been possible.
Han Feng and Ao Xue immediately climbed out of the cave.
As soon as I arrived at the cave entrance, I saw Ao Yu swimming towards me on the sea with an anxious look on his face.
"Yang."
King, Queen!
Seeing Han Feng coming out of the cave, Ao Yu hurriedly spoke respectfully from a distance, with an irrepressible eagerness in his tone.
"hold head high?"
What happened? Why are you so anxious?
Han Feng asked.
"hold head high?"
Where are Ao Bai and the others? Why are you the only one who came back alone?
Ao Xue saw that only Ao Yu came back alone, so she followed up and asked, because she knew that Ao Yu followed Ao Bai and the others, and even Ao Bai and the others' team was assigned by Ao Xue herself.
"Yang."
Ao Yu immediately told the whole story in detail.
However, they were attacked in the muddy seabed before. After Ao Zhu was dragged into the mud, Ao Yu and the other four dragons followed and quickly caught up with and defeated the giant beast with many tentacles and rescued Ao Zhu. Later, under the leadership of Ao Bai, the five dragons wanted to kill the giant beast.
Unexpectedly, in addition to the giant beast, there were many other similar tentacle beasts under the mud layer, and they obviously looked like they were from the same clan as the Jiaomang clan.
Finally, the five dragons were besieged by many tentacle beasts. In a hurry, Ao defeated the other four dragons and allowed the youngest Ao Yu to run back and report the news.
A tribe of giant beasts!
Han Feng's eyes lit up instantly when he heard this.
If this really is a tribe of giant beasts and there are a large number of them, then Han Feng's level of evolution can definitely be improved again.
Then Han Feng gave the order without any hesitation.
"hold head high!"
Go, lead the way. If anyone dares to be the enemy of our tribe, we will kill them.
wow-
After he finished speaking, Han Feng dived directly into the water.
When Ao Yu heard Han Feng's words, his heart was instantly shocked and he felt the blood in his body boiling.
This is what their king should look like.
Domineering.
Protect the clan.
Be responsible.
"Yang."
Please follow me, King.
Ao Yu immediately responded and turned around to lead the way.
Han Feng followed closely behind and also gave orders to the other dragons and pythons behind him.
"hold head high."
All members of my tribe should follow.
"Yang."
Obey my king's orders.
Upon hearing this, Ao Xue immediately spoke up and led the other dragons and pythons behind her into the water to follow Han Feng.
However, there were not many dragons and pythons on the island at that time. Including Han Feng and Ao Xue, there were only a dozen or so, and most of them were still underage dragons and pythons.
But Han Feng didn't care about this, because the other dragons and pythons had little impact on the battle. As long as Han Feng could defeat the leader of the other beast, he would definitely win the battle. On the contrary, if Han Feng couldn't defeat the leader of the other beast, then the other dragons and pythons would be useless even if they all came.
hum-
Deep sea turbulence.
Under the leadership of Han Feng, a group of dragons and pythons marched towards the sea where the tentacle beast was.
On the way, they happened to meet a team of dragons and pythons led by Ao Qing who had just returned from hunting. After learning the situation, Ao Qing and five other dragons and pythons also joined the team.
After nearly half a day.
Led by Ao Yu, Han Feng and a group of dragons and pythons finally arrived at the sea area where the tentacle monster was.
"hold head high."
Wang, it’s right here, the space below is empty.
Ao Yu pointed at the mud beneath him.
Han Feng looked down and saw that it seemed that he had reached the bottom of the sea and it was all mud. But after tentatively inserting his tail into it, Han Feng suddenly realized that this mud layer seemed to be the bottom of the sea, but it was not, and there was nothing underneath.
"hold head high."
Go on.
Han Feng immediately took the lead and plunged directly into the mud layer.
After entering the mud layer, Han Feng dived straight down into the mud. There was no obstacle along the way. The mud was completely soft like water. It did not cause any hindrance to the body after he dived in. However, his vision was severely obstructed, as if he had entered extremely turbid waters.
At the same time, after entering the mud layer, as his body continued to sink downwards, Han Feng also found that the surrounding water temperature began to drop sharply.
The deeper you dive into the mud layer, the lower the surrounding water temperature becomes.
In this way, we dived roughly fifty to sixty meters into the mud layer.
At this time, Han Feng's vision suddenly broadened, and the water area suddenly turned into a clean sea, while the silt layer continued to hang above his head.
The entire silt layer is like a dividing line, dividing the sea area into above the silt layer and below the silt layer.
Above and below the silt layer is clean sea water, but inside the silt layer is completely turbid.
The entire silt layer appears to be solid land composed entirely of silt, but in fact it can be easily passed through.
At the same time, there is a big difference between the sea area above the silt layer and the sea area below the silt layer, that is, temperature.
Han Feng felt that there was a temperature difference of nearly 20 degrees between the sea water above and below the silt layer.
This reminded Han Feng of a noun.
Thermocline.
The so-called thermocline is a water layer in the deep sea where the sea water temperature changes vertically suddenly. Due to sunlight exposure, the sea water in some sea areas is too deep, resulting in the sea water being too deep to absorb sunlight, and thus having a very low temperature, which is called the cold water layer. The water layer above the cold water layer, which can be exposed to sunlight and absorb sunlight, has a relatively warm temperature, so it is called the warm water layer.
The boundary waters between the warm water layer and the cold water layer are called thermoclines.
Therefore, the temperature difference between the upper and lower parts of the thermocline can be very large.
At this moment, Han Feng, who had come under the mud layer, felt like he had come into icy water.
Fortunately, the dragon python has a strong physique and strong adaptability, so this temperature difference has no effect on it.
After Han Feng drilled out of the mud layer, Ao Xue and other dragons and pythons behind him also drilled out one after another.
Then look around.
At the first moment, the figure of the giant tentacle beast that Ao Bai's Four Dragons and Ao Yu mentioned was not spotted.
However, although he did not see the figures of Ao Bai's Four Dragons and other tentacle beasts, Han Feng did not question Ao Yu's previous words.
Because from the sea water here, Han Feng had already smelled the breath of the Four Ao Bai Dragons and other unknown giant beasts.
"hold head high!"
Han Feng opened his mouth and let out a huge dragon roar.
moment.
Something was changing in the cold waters beneath this silty thermocline.
First, above the head at the end in front, huge black tentacles appeared in the mud rolling in the thermocline.
Immediately afterwards, Ao Bai's response was heard from the end on the left.
"Hang——"
king!
