Chapter 101 Fracture
Li Anxian was stunned on the spot, rubbing his eyes vigorously, it was still a huge leaf!

That's right, it's a leaf, at least its shape is exactly the same as a leaf, and its area is astonishingly large, at least half the size of a football field!
He hadn't doubted his eyes for a long time, but today he had to wonder whether it was deceiving him.

The light from the leaves was not dazzling, but it was very clear. He was sure that he saw it right, and immediately took out the phone from the deepest part of the storage bag, and snapped a quick snap.

It's a pity that there are no base stations or signals in this world, and I can't send it to Moments. I can only appreciate the things I take in secret by myself.

What happened next was even more beyond Li Anxian's expectations. The light on the giant leaf was like flowing water, extending far away along the petiole. After a while, it outlined the appearance of a branch.

This is not over yet, the rays of light continue to extend, gradually outlining the main trunk, more branches, and more leaves of different sizes.

Li Anxian was completely dumbfounded, and there was only one thought in his mind: What kind of tree is this?

Although this thing grows in the deep sea, it has all the main branches and branches, so what else is it other than a tree?
Comrade Xiao Li clicked and clicked again.

Limited by the viewing angle of the porthole, he couldn't see what the canopy looked like, but from the porthole on the other side, he could see the light extending all the way to the bottom of the sea, like a sleeping alien base under the water. wake up.

However, this is only the beginning, the downward extending rays of light suddenly accelerated, and then suddenly spread around, countless criss-crossing air roots lit up one after another, they intersected with each other and expanded wantonly, paving the bottom of the sea to the brim, like countless colorful The fiber optic cable completely covers the seabed, and there is no end in sight.

Li Anxian can fully imagine how well-developed the root system of this big tree is. There must be countless gaps between the many roots, and there may be countless sea creatures hidden there.

In the words before crossing, this big tree is an ecosystem independent of the outside world. The tree above and below the tree is the home for countless creatures to survive.

Obviously, this big tree must be a very special kind of existence, so what exactly is it?A tree demon that has long since become a spirit and is actively hiding in the deep sea?Or the legendary Jianmu sank underwater—how could there be woody plants in the sea?

Thinking of a ball of seaweed, or a piece of kelp turning into essence, Li Anxian wanted to laugh inexplicably, and suddenly remembered a little girl named Qingcha in a novel who was always thrown into a cup to make tea.

The kelp is really fine, put a few hairs on his body, rub some salt, vinegar, garlic, and chili oil, it is a plate of refreshing garlic kelp shreds!

Really fragrant!

He was thinking wildly in his mind, but there was no hesitation in his hand, and he pressed the shutter again indiscriminately.

This kind of western scenery can't be seen all the time, and it is necessary to take pictures as a souvenir. If the porthole is not too small for selfies, he would like to compare himself with scissors.

Reluctantly sending out a signal to float up, the spider silk slowly tightened, and it floated up little by little with the diving ball.

The bottom of the sea is completely covered by tree roots, and the most you can do when diving is to see a different view. Since there are no manganese nodules, don't waste your time.

It wasn't until this time that Li Anxian realized that the light outside the sphere had almost disappeared, and then sent some electric current, the luminosity improved a little, but then dimmed again, as if the big tree was a black hole, sucking all the light into its body .

As if knowing that he was leaving, the big tree shook its branches and leaves slowly, as if saying goodbye!
interesting!
He became more and more interested in this mysterious big tree, and kept wondering whether this thing had self-awareness.

At this moment, a branch glowing with colorful brilliance suddenly moved over and stopped firmly outside the porthole. A cocoon-like thing that was as tall as half a person was hanging on the branch, swaying, as if Say hello to Li Anxian.

Li Anxian hastily issued an emergency stop command, staring at the big cocoon outside the window in a daze.

Seeing that he didn't move, the tree shook the cocoon again.

What does it mean?

Do you want to try it out?
A bit of true energy passed through the bulkhead, and the storage bag hanging outside the cabin immediately opened, and then moved it under the cocoon with the mechanical arm, and made a movement of putting it in.

Unexpectedly, the big tree directly cut off the connection between itself and the cocoon, and the cocoon slowly fell into the storage bag.

Now Li Anxian knew the answer. This big tree must have self-awareness. I'm afraid it's not a weak big monster. It's probably because the plants have become monsters and have a peaceful nature, so they honestly hide in the water.

Anyway, it was out of kindness, Li Anxian bowed his hands and saluted: "Thank you!"

As if he had received Li Anxian's response, the light on the moved branch gradually dimmed.

The light on the branches and leaves in the distance also dissipated, but for a moment, the huge tree quietly disappeared in the darkness, as if it had never appeared before.

Deep down in his heart, Li Anxian really wanted to say: Is there any cold iron for a few dollars!

But he always felt that he shouldn't do this, and he didn't say it until the end.

Forget it, I didn't expect to gain anything from diving once, so let's change places slowly...there won't be such big trees everywhere on the bottom of the sea, right?

Well, you don't need to move too far, just a little beyond the coverage of the root system.

Li Anxian could tell that this sea area is so peaceful, it's probably because of this strange tree...

In the darkness, a meandering black figure quietly approached the diving ball.

Li Anxian suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he raised his head, he was startled. There was actually a huge and incomparable eye attached to the porthole. In the pupil, which was much larger than the porthole, the bright light was facing the front and back, reflecting the whole body like a mirror. diving ball.

A gust of cold wind blew Comrade Xiao Li's back—what the hell is this?
With many bad premonitions in his heart, Li Anxian slapped the bulkhead with his palm, and the hidden grid at the bottom of the ball bounced away, throwing away all the ballast, several small holes ejected high-pressure air, and the diving ball's floating speed suddenly increased.

It was a matter of his own life, so naturally he would not pin all his hopes on the strength of the diving ball, but put all the emergency measures he could think of on this small diving ball.

But that thing was also ruthless. It opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth, pumped and sucked with all its strength, and the originally calm sea water instantly became extremely violent.

The current engulfed the diving ball, and the position did not rise but fell. Li Anxian didn't even see what the monster looked like. Rows of sharp teeth appeared outside the porthole.

Comrade Xiao Li reacted very quickly, and he pressed his palms against the bulkhead to discharge with all his strength, hoping to have an initial effect, but the monster didn't care at all, and swallowed the diving ball into its belly with a roll of its throat.
