Chapter 297: Divine Turtle and Entering the Ship (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“So big!”
The submarine was not like a ship. The larger the size, the more its engine was tested.
Lin Yan remembered seeing on the news in his previous life that the largest submarine built in the former Soviet Union was only 170 meters long. However, such a huge submarine could only be driven by a nuclear power system. It could be said to be a true giant in the water.
The submarine in the prefecture capital was actually nearly a hundred meters long?!
Could it be that the technology level of the prefecture capital far exceeded his imagination?
As the submarine continued to descend, Lin Yan approached the huge creature even closer. However, he suddenly realized that this thing didn’t look like a submarine at all!
Its size did not match the streamlined shape at all. Instead, there was a huge disc, or cone, floating in the water, as if a vast black vortex had appeared in the water.
Lin Yan felt that this thing was a little familiar, but he couldn’t tell what it was at a glance.
Under the constantly sweeping pillars of light, Lin Yan saw that only sporadic parts of its surface were riveted to the iron armor. Most of it was an extremely strange color and material.
It was like… a biological carapace?!
The moment this thought appeared, it struck Lin Yan’s mind like a bolt of lightning!
Biological carapace!
The structure of this submarine… was clearly like a super huge turtle shell!
With this thought in mind, Lin Yan looked again and immediately felt that everything matched.
Around the huge carapace, there were four huge pillar-like limbs sliding gently in the water. At the front of the carapace, where the meat pillar was pulling the submarine down, was a long, huge shadow that was like a skyscraper. Its two huge eyes were like pools of light, shooting out two extremely penetrating beams.
It was clearly the light emitted by two huge eyes!
Lin Yan’s entire body trembled. That’s right, this thing was not a submarine at all. It was clearly a huge divine turtle that was a hundred meters long, had a mountain-like back armor, and eyes that were like stars!
Although he was shocked, he didn’t find it unbelievable. The gigantic Corpse Buddha Cockroach, the sixteen-armed Holy Buddha, and his own Buddha body had already made him realize that there were very likely some terrifying beasts living in this world.
However, he did not expect that the people from the prefecture capital could actually tame or control such a huge beast for their own use.
The meat pillar continued to pull as the submarine approached the huge turtle. As the light came from below, it blocked Lin Yan’s vision, preventing him from seeing the giant turtle’s head clearly. He could only see that it seemed to be vaguely opening its mouth, as if it was waiting for the submarine to enter.
However, the scene around the giant turtle’s shell was clearer.
The mountain-like turtle’s back was angular and covered in rough ravines. It was filled with algae that looked like aquatic plants.
Among the algae, there were many iron armor fortifications built like houses, making the body of the primitive beast look even stranger.
When he got closer, Lin Yan took a closer look. At the end of the meat pillar was indeed the huge mouth of this giant turtle!
As the two pillars of light were suddenly left behind, he was suddenly surrounded by two huge shadows. Lin Yan felt the submarine he was clinging to suddenly lighten and the flesh pillar loosened!
As for the diving cabin, it continued to fall into the depths of the giant turtle’s mouth with inertia. Finally, it collided with a soft dark red cavity on the side and bounced back before floating to the top of the huge flesh cavity.
There were dark meat walls all around, and a wide cavity that was probably the throat of the giant turtle.
Lin Yan turned around.
As the diving capsule entered the interior, the two huge black shadows above and below, which were the upper and lower jaws of the giant turtle, began to slowly close, sealing off the light from the outside world. The surroundings were dark.
Immediately after, a huge suction force came from deeper below. Lin Yan hurriedly grabbed the diving capsule tightly and was sucked deeper down with it.
As if it had passed through a strange barrier, the suction force suddenly disappeared. The diving capsule hit the side wall again and bounced back.
However, the side wall here was not made of meat, but was covered in a black rough stone material. Lin Yan had seen this material before. It was the black gold stone used to test strength and cultivate in Dragon Gate Pavilion. It was extremely hard and could resist Tough Realm attacks.
Immediately after, there was the sound of gas spewing out. There seemed to be gas pressing in from the top, and the water in the chamber was pressed down and began to be expelled through the gap below.
The water level slowly decreased. The diving capsule descended. Finally, after all the water was drained, the diving capsule slowly stopped on the ground. Lin Yan also let go of the diving capsule and stepped on the wet ground as he looked around.
This chamber appeared to be an extremely regular square size. It was completely a man-made room. The top, bottom, and every side wall were covered in black gold stone. There were many shallow depressions on the wall that the diving capsule had collided with just now. This was probably not the first time the diving capsule had landed like this.
On the ceiling, there were actually a few rusty hanging lights. They were about half the size of a human head. The outer layer was bronze-green and rusty fence-like grid, but inside was a completely sealed glass ball. It was unknown what fuel was installed in it, but it actually emitted a faint fluorescent light. Even in the water just now, it could completely shine normally.
Everything around them was man-made. It seemed to have nothing to do with the giant turtle’s cavity when they first entered. It was as if they had not entered the giant turtle’s body but passed through its mouth to another space.
However, Lin Yan quickly discovered a secret in the corner of the wall. The cracks in the stone bricks under his feet and above him, where lamps hung, were filled with tightly closed biological structures that resembled the internal valvula of a human heart.
At first glance, he thought that they were the cracks in the dark golden stone bricks. In fact, the drainage just now should have been done by the valvula petals above and below.
“Therefore, we really entered the giant turtle’s body… How did the people from the prefecture capital build such a stone room in the giant turtle’s body?
“And it’s definitely not just this one.
“At that time, Yu Qian and the others said that the interior was very big, as big as a district in Ding’an City. Obviously, there must be many parts in this giant turtle’s body that have been modified into such a man-made room…”
Lin Yan was suspicious. No matter how he thought about it, it was extremely unbelievable to transform a huge turtle into a submarine.
Air, water pressure, manipulation, coexistence… None of these were things that the people in the prefecture capital could do.
The more mysterious the prefecture capital was, the more he had to hide. He couldn’t easily reveal himself. It was best if he changed his identity…
The surrounding aura gradually filled up, and it was all air that he could breathe. He did not know how they did it in the deep sea.
There was a rush of air through the narrow gap, and the diving capsule’s hatch swung open.
Liu Lanqing jumped out of the diving cabin and took a deep breath.
The diving capsule was completely sealed. Although the diving speed was fast, there were many people inside. There were more than 20 of them, and the air was almost sucked dry.
If not for the fact that they were all experts above the Tough Realm, some of them would have fainted and died.
As Liu Lanqing confirmed that it was safe, everyone began to climb out one by one. They looked at their surroundings in shock, survival, and shock.
When everyone walked out.
Liu Lanqing gestured for everyone to be quiet.
A low voice suddenly sounded from outside the room and pierced through. “Miss Liu, please forgive me. I still have to do a routine check to see if any demons have infiltrated.”
Liu Lanqing waved her hand. “Captain Song, you’re too polite. Please do as you please.”
“Okay.”
After that voice finished speaking, everyone suddenly trembled and their hair stood on end.
An extremely huge and terrifying aura suddenly descended into this room!
Lin Yan instantly reacted. This aura was clearly the aura of the terrifying giant turtle!
It was as if the huge turtle’s eyes shot out a sharp light that pierced through the layers of obstacles and landed in the room!
