National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

Perhaps the feng shui of this place is suitable for long snakes.

Following Nathan's gaze, the branches in all directions were covered with triangular heads, some round and some flat, hissing and flicking their forked tongues.

However, these snakes were not aggressive and seemed to just want to get close to the Abyss.

...Perhaps because of the creation of the Abyss, the Naga Queen Vanessa was quite involved. To these ordinary snakes, seeing the ship was no different from seeing the king who came to patrol the mountain.

[Although, I still got goosebumps...]

[Snake: Greetings, Your Majesty... for your new skin.]

[Judging from Esting's expression, so this kid's afraid of snakes.]

[I was saying, "Why was he so well-behaved when Sita was around? Hahahaha!"]

Esting really didn't like these slippery, legless creatures.

at this time,

The branches overhead swayed.

Perhaps because he was too excited to see the goddess, a fat snake fell off a tree branch with a "thud" and landed right in front of Esther.

It was momentarily stunned.

It quickly and excitedly curled up, raised its head high, and hissed at the nearest guy.

The air froze for two seconds.

"Aaaaaaaahh ...

Esting let out a heart-wrenching scream, and as if she had been electrocuted, she scrambled and crawled behind Luigi.

"Snake! Snake!!"

The snake was taken aback by the person's reaction. Why such a strong reaction?!

"An interesting phenomenon,"

Nathan tapped his chin with his fingertip and began with great interest, "Human fear of reptiles and arthropods is two different codes written in our genes."

"People who are extremely afraid of snakes are usually not afraid of spiders. And vice versa."

"Really?" Ivan asked skeptically.

"It's fake...it's fake..." Esther's voice, trembling with tears, came from behind Luigi. "I...I'm scared..."

"But where I'm from... spiders with heads that big are quite common, and they can even jump... we're used to it..."

Everyone: "..."

[That's how things are in Australia, those who know, know.]

[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha]

[I imagined a spider with a head that big... or maybe a snake.]

[Please stay away from both of them, thank you!]

"Get down, you're scaring the children."

With a helpless sigh, Ren Yi lightly kicked the tip of the fat snake's tail. The fat snake slowly crawled to the side of the boat and plunged headfirst into the swamp.

Esting's legs gave way and he plopped down on the deck, catching his breath.

After passing through this reptile paradise...

The Abyss has officially entered a completely unknown region—

The original course of travel before falling into the underground river.

Contrary to expectations of a coastline or gradually rising terrain, the scene before them silenced everyone.

The trees and swampy area were much the same, but they seemed to have grown entirely in the water.

Thick mud and green duckweed floated on the water's surface, like a moldy blanket covering this 'swamp'. Xiao Jiu and Sean crawled into the cabin, which had air circulation and filtration, and refused to come out.

Fortunately, the Abyss's land-based movement mode is perfectly suited to this environment...

It was like walking on flat ground.

I floated a couple of steps to shore, climbed a couple more steps... and went back into the water.

"this......"

Nathan put away the binoculars because the vegetation was too dense; as far as the eye could see, it was either grass or water, and the distance could not be seen with the binoculars as far as the naked eye.

"Are we already in the sea?"

The water area is significantly larger than the land area. If it weren't for the Abyss, anyone trying to cross this place would probably sink in after just a few steps.

"Won't,"

Louis shook his head. "I can't control the water here. It's more like... a large freshwater lake, or a mudflat."

Upon hearing this,

Klaus took a few planks, opened the panel and selected wood processing. Under his control, the wood was rapidly spliced ​​and extended, transforming into a thin, long wooden pole with markings.

"Look how deep this water is."

He raised the pole and slowly lowered it into the muddy water beside the boat, deeper and deeper, with almost no resistance.

Five meters, ten meters, twenty meters...

The relaxed expressions on everyone's faces changed to surprise.

The more than 30-meter-long wooden pole didn't even touch the bottom?

Klaus stubbornly continued to use his sequence ability to increase the length of the wooden pole, but even after increasing it to nearly a hundred meters, the situation remained the same.

"...We might actually be at sea already, but this sea...is a bit special."

"Then, shall I go down and take a look?"

Ivan perked up when he heard it was about the sea.

But this is different from the volcanic ash beach before. If we let this guy go down there, who knows what kind of monster he might pull out of the mud.

"Forget it, let's go further and see," the captain decided.

The engineer nodded and was about to pull out the wooden pole for recycling when he suddenly felt the pole become heavy.

"Um?"

"There's something down there!"

The end of the wooden pole... no, the entire wooden pole, was being bitten by something, and it was trembling slightly.

Klaus frowned, and with a strong pull of both hands, he yanked it out of the mud!

"Splash—!"

A long string of things was brought to the surface of the water.

That slender wooden pole looked like a string of candied hawthorns, with a long string of...fish hanging from it?

[Holy crap, I got a maxed-out item!!!]

[Straight hook fishing is nothing; this wooden rod fishing, in my opinion, would be second best.]

[Upstairs, this is only the runner-up? Then who's the champion?]

[The champion is fishing with a clothes rack...]

They were scattered haphazardly on the long pole, some biting their companions and being pulled out along with a piece. Each one was the size of a palm, without scales, covered with toad-like pustules, and had serrated teeth growing out of their smiling lips.

Once exposed to the air, they frantically begin to chew and snap at the wood, and almost in the blink of an eye, the trunk is about to be bitten through.

"Oh damn it!"

Klaus's face turned green. He grabbed the pole and swung it wildly, trying to shake these disgusting things off.

But unexpectedly, the force was too strong, and the fish suddenly experienced "seabirds falling in love with fish".

"Snap—click-click-click-click—"

A fish fell right in front of Renyi and kept tearing at the air.

Bending down and lifting its tail at will—

【Lv1 Mutant Cyst Serrated Fish】

[Comment: Ugliness is its camouflage, stupidity is its epitaph; when they can't get food, they'll start eating each other. PS: But their teeth are very even, perhaps... they could be used as zippers?]

Pants zipper... Thanks for the invitation.

but......

An arbitrary gaze fell upon the ground, and suddenly it brightened up a bit.

"Don't let them get away! I want their teeth!"
