Chapter 244 If Instinct

Chapter 244 If instinct...

Under the sea, a figure swam forward quickly like an arrow from a bow.

This was the first time Feng Yi had truly left the human-living area and swam in the sea.

The last starfish incident was actually not too far from the land. After all, the starfish gathering area at that time was not deep sea.

Only when you are really far away from the land can you feel the vastness of the ocean.

No matter how big a ship is, it is just a leaf in the sea.

Feel the changes in ocean currents and the information exchange in the sea water.

Ocean currents are equivalent to highways under the sea. They bring food and vitality and attract more predators.

Feng Yi also saw some cute marine creatures, but he was not in the mood to say hello.

Following the guidance of instinct, he continued to look for the target of his trip.

In his perception, there is a special magnetic field center in the deep sea, and instinct determines the route based on this special magnetic field.

Along the way, except for the necessary breathing, Feng Yi never appeared on the sea surface, and while rushing on the road, he also tried to reduce the risk of exposure.

I don't know how long I swam, and how many time zones I crossed. The light on the sea surface was getting darker and darker.

However, the light had no effect on him. In the sea water, he relied on his perception and instinctive recognition of the magnetic field.

Finally... we are here!

Approaching the destination, Feng Yi distinguished the special magnetic field.

Yes, it is here!

Judging by instinct, my aunt came to this place before she died!

But it seems that there is nothing special here.

There are no signs of human activities in this area, and no ships are found sailing. Feng Yi is ready to float to the surface of the sea to take a look.

However, will he be unlucky enough to be recognized by the satellite?

How to make trouble under the nose of the satellite?

Or block it.

Sensing the energy substances floating in the sky, Feng Yi controls them to become active.

He does not directly control the clouds in the sky, but mobilizes the energy substances distributed in the sky to use their power to drive airflow and cloud changes.

In other words, if those energy substances do not exist, he cannot change the clouds in the sky.

As long as those energy substances exist, as long as he can sense and control them, he can make the airflow and clouds there move even if they are thousands of miles away.

But he doesn't have that ability now.

An energy field quickly formed between the sky and the sea.

A large amount of seawater evaporated from the ocean and formed clouds in the sky. The clouds in the distance also gathered here.

The small animals living in the sea seemed to have sensed something and moved away.

Not long after, a large cloud layer appeared above the sea.

Feng Yi surfaced and felt carefully.

If his instinct was right, there should be something here.

What exactly is it?

Looking at the vast sea, he didn't see the target at all.

Could it be in the water?

Just thinking about this, Feng Yi's eyebrows jumped, dived into the water, and looked at the bottom of the sea.

There are changes on the bottom of the sea!

Ultra-low frequency sound signals came from the deep sea.

Right below, something is floating up from the bottom of the sea.

Feng Yi did not leave, but waited quietly. The information from his instinct told him that this was it!

The huge black shadow was getting closer and closer until it lifted Feng Yi out of the water and floated to the surface.

Feng Yi looked at the giant that emerged from the seabed.

It was not some magical creature, but an island made of rocks.

This is it!

It was the center of the magnetic field, the final destination of his trip!

Instinct was not wrong!

Feng Yi patted the rock under him with his tail.

The hardness of the rock was good, even more suitable than the stone path in his house that was specially used for skin grinding!

It was indeed a stone, not some other metal, but it was impossible to tell what kind of rock it was.

Since it was a rock, why could it suddenly float from the bottom of the sea to the surface of the water?

What was the principle?

Feng Yi thought about it and stopped struggling. Now was not the time to analyze this.

After staying on the seabed for a long time, there was a layer of dark attachments on the surface of the entire rock island, and the original color of the rock could no longer be seen in most areas.

As the rock island emerged from the sea, Feng Yi seemed to have suddenly turned on a switch, the energy in his body was stirring, and every cell became active.

But Feng Yi was not worried.

I know this!

It was this feeling, similar to the molting on the day of Jingzhe, but this time there was no sign, and it suddenly appeared after the rock island floated up.

Similar, but not.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand, leave it to instinct!

Rumble--

The rainstorm clouds accumulated in the sky, covering dozens of kilometers in a short time, and began to release energy.

The dull rolling thunder sounded like some huge monster was trampling back and forth in the rainstorm clouds.

The lightning ripped the sky crazily, like a group of snakes attacking all around.

The wind was howling, and the waves were rolling!

The wind became fierce.

A large area of ​​fog appeared on the sea surface, and visibility dropped rapidly.

A series of strong winds cut the sea surface, raising fine water droplets.

Every molting is accompanied by the synthesis and release of energy, which will cause some meteorological phenomena.

Although this time, it was not a molting, it was also a key point of growth, and it also caused drastic weather changes.

On the rocky island.

Feng Yi was also changing.

When Jingzhe shed her skin, except for her hands, only lines appeared on her torso and arms, but now, thin but hard scales are growing layer by layer, covering her arms from her torso to each finger.

The specialized bone claws were like steel knives unsheathed, glowing coldly.

Driven by abundant energy, it feels like finally eating a full meal, warm and satisfying.

At the same time, a memory silent in the DNA is gradually activated.

handed down from our ancestors.

From this memory, Feng Yi learned a lot of important information.

For example, how to control the breath more accurately, how to release the correct information chemicals, how to mobilize more active factors, etc.

Also learned about the role of this rocky island.

This rocky island is more like an alternative nest. It can provide a special magnetic field to guide the direction and help gather energy materials to promote growth and evolution.

It usually sinks on the bottom of the sea, but when it feels energy changes, it will "activate" and float up from the bottom of the sea.

The energy matter floating around the world will gather here as if it feels magnetic attraction.

The powerful body of their race is a huge energy body.

Death is a process of energy release.

Also released at the same time are those energy substances, which will change from the combined state to the free state and float in the air.

When an elderly individual dies, he comes to this small rocky island. As the body dies, the energy supporting the body is released. Those energy substances are centered around this, spreading to the surroundings, floating above the clouds, and quietly waiting for the next successor. arrival.

When the young successors come here, they will absorb these energy substances as "nutrients" for growth.

This is a material cycle.

In addition, Feng Yi also knew why only one race like theirs could exist now, not two or more at the same time. Even if there were, they would die soon.

Because there is insufficient energy!

Those energy substances can promote further mutation and growth of the body.

Every time Feng Yi reaches a stage of growth, he has to shed his skin, just like those cultivators in legendary fantasy stories who go through heavenly tribulations. Every time he reaches a stage, he has to go through a tribulation.

His kind is also equivalent to another kind of tribulation.

If you shed your skin successfully, you will grow stronger and live longer.

If the molt fails, or if something goes wrong, the body will be greatly damaged.

It’s not obvious now, but the further you go, the more energy and matter will be needed to survive this kind of “tribulation”.

And a long time ago, there was plenty of energy material in the air.

Ancestors can live long periods of time, and many such individuals can exist at the same time.

At that time, the energy material on the planet could feed so many people, allowing them to successfully survive one tribulation after another and live longer.

200 years? 500 years? Maybe longer.

Our ancestors traveled around the world, leaving behind various myths, legends, or horror stories.

However, tens of millions of years have passed, and the energy and matter have been reduced to the point where only one can be fed at the same time.

And individual growth will also be limited. The further you go, the more energy and materials are needed. When the energy and materials needed for evolution cannot be sustained and cannot survive the next tribulation and enter the next stage of growth, we will face the situation of "the end is approaching".

My aunt is like this.

It may be that they are only in the young adulthood of this race, but due to insufficient energy, they cannot survive the next "tribulation" and can only face the end.

The ancestors noticed the decrease of energy and matter, and looked for a way to solve the problem from generation to generation, and indeed found something——

The increase or decrease of this energy substance is related to the planet itself.

The growth of their race does consume some energy substances, but most of them are released when they die. Compared with the overall situation, it will not lead to such a result.

Only the planet itself can cause such changes.

Our ancestors viewed the planet as another level of life.

Every time a major change occurs on the planet, it will be accompanied by a sudden increase or decrease in those energy substances.

Changes in the planet affect all life living on it.

Thinking of this, Feng Yi suspected that the abnormal climate period more than 20 years ago may have caused a large part of those energy substances to disappear, which is why my aunt faced her end so early.

Mr. Feng, who was born with the same child as her, is still alive and well!

This also means that Feng Yi himself may not live as long as his aunt!

And since him, other successors have also been shorter-lived each generation.

Feng Yi was in a complicated mood now.

It's like, after just eating a full meal, you know that you will face famine in the future.

Feng Yi lay on the rocky island and meditated.

The remaining anxiety left in the DNA of the ancestors affected Feng Yi.

He picked at the stone with his paws a little anxiously.

The dark attachments on the rocks kept falling off.

In fact, if an ordinary person can maintain the physique of a young adult and live until the age of seventy or eighty, there will be no regrets.

However, the message conveyed by his ancestral DNA is like the teachings of his ancestors:

[Baby, try your best! Maybe you can live five hundred years? ! ! 】

However, there are so many powerful seniors who can’t do anything, what can I do?

"Based on my brain, it's very likely that I won't be able to find a solution until the end of my life."

Feng Yi knew very well that he was not that smart person.

If the brain is not good, then... what about instinct?

Feng Yi thought.

Continue to pick the stone silently, the long tail swinging restlessly.

After a while, a piece of "bald" appeared on the rock island.

Looking at the bald rock surface, Feng Yi sighed.

Thinking to no avail, he saw the thunderstorm clouds in the sky weakening.

"Forget it."

If there is no negative change in the world, he still has decades.

Looking at the sky blocked by clouds, Feng Yi jumped into the sea.

Hungry, go back to eat.

Think of a way after eating.

It is impossible to lie flat, maybe when doing the mission of the Joint Security Bureau, I should collect more information?

Don't worry about the rock island floating on the sea, it will sink by itself.

This rock island will change its position with the ocean current or the activity of the seabed.

It is always moving.

Of course, if there is no violent activity on the seabed, it usually does not move that fast.

It has not shifted much since the death of my aunt in less than two years.

When Feng Yi swam a long distance, he heard the low-frequency sound again.

This is a signal of sinking.

Feng Yi remembered that he had read an essay a long time ago, saying that there was a ghost island in the distant sea, which would mysteriously appear and then mysteriously disappear, and no one could grasp its trace.

Is this it?

See you tonight.
