Not only has the elite team protecting their scientific expedition team increased in number, but the equipment has also become more advanced.

Xiao Ling saw some heavy weapons, including the powerful Barrett sniper rifle, and even the m72e series 84mm bazooka. Even the largest creature in the ocean, the blue whale, can be hunted.

After Xiao Ling understood, he finally understood why, before leaving, Zhou Kesheng was full of confidence and believed that this journey to Guixu was not too dangerous.

Because they made complete preparations in advance this time, Sun Tao was confident that he could deal with any danger.

Although the "Exploration" entered an unknown sea, fortunately, Captain Cao Zhiren did not find out what he was worried about. He went on safely all the way, only a short-lived heavy rain was encountered. It was not a dangerous tsunami. Three days later, the sea suddenly fogged in the distance.

Xiao Ling was chatting with Zhou Kesheng in his room. Zhou Kesheng was brewing coffee. Captain Cao Zhiren suddenly knocked on the door and said that there was something to report.

After Zhou Kesheng asked him to come in, Cao Zhiren reported with a somewhat excited expression on his face. According to the somewhat dilapidated hand-painted navigation chart given to him by Zhou Kesheng, they were about to approach Guixu, which was marked on the map.

"Oh?" Zhou Kesheng's expression moved slightly, put down the coffee cup in his hand and said, "Let's go out and have a look."

Xiao Ling walked out with him and followed Captain Cao Zhiren.

"It's foggy, it's very foggy." Jiang Hongtao, the first mate of "Exploration" was also busy coming over to report.

In just a short time, fog rose in the sea ahead, completely covering a sea area in the distance. The spotlights fired by the "Exploration" were shot into the sea fog, and the light was blocked. From a distance, it looked misty and had very low visibility, which was very dangerous for ships on the sea to sail.

"I'm sure Guixu is ahead?" Zhou Kesheng looked at Captain Cao Zhiren.

Cao Zhiren nodded and said, "Old Zhou, we will not make any mistakes."

Zhou Kesheng nodded. Cao Zhiren is an old captain with rich experience. I believe he will not admit his mistake. He turned to look at Jiang Hongtao, the first mate standing aside and said, "Go and notify Professor Li Zhibao and the others."

"Yes." The first mate turned around and entered the cabin.

Zhou Kesheng picked up the telescope and looked at the thick fog from afar.

Xiao Ling stood beside him and felt that the fog was very thick and spread very quickly. Soon there was a mist floating on the deck. In the night, this situation was not only rare, but also a faint sense of danger.

Xiao Ling had developed an instinctive alertness towards danger, and a hint of uneasiness arose in his heart, but he couldn't see the pale big hand, and he didn't know if there would be danger.

"This is something wrong. Captain Cao, have you ever encountered such a sea fog before?" Xiao Ling felt an unknown premonition in his heart and was busy asking Cao Zhiren. If such a sea fog is very common, it should be nothing strange.

"Mr. Xiao, sea fog is not unusual, but it is very rare like tonight. At least I have never encountered it..."

Cao Zhiren answered very politely. Although Xiao Ling was young, he saw that Xiao Ling had been following Zhou Kesheng these days, and Zhou Kesheng was also very polite to Xiao Ling. Cao Zhiren saw it and guessed that Xiao Ling should be a big shot and did not dare to neglect Xiao Ling's inquiries.

In the cabin, Professor Li Zhibao, Hu Shengzhe, Wang Lei, Yu Tingting, Pang Yan, Wang Haiyang, Guo Zhenwei and Sun Tao came out one after another.

After them, Qin Yang and several team members also walked out and stood around.

On the deck, there was a misty fog. In just a moment, everyone's vision was severely blocked. They could only see clearly the faces three or four meters away. If they were farther away, they had become foggy.

"Old Zhou, should you stop the boat first?" Cao Zhiren looked very uneasy when he saw the fog getting heavier.

Zhou Kesheng frowned and asked Cao Zhiren. After confirming that the Guixu was marked on the map, he shook his head and said, "Don't stop completely, slow down, just move forward slowly."

Cao Zhiren could only abide by his orders.

"Old Li, Guixu is ahead." Zhou Kesheng handed the telescope in his hand to Professor Li Zhibao.

Hearing the legendary Guixu ahead, everyone's faces showed a solemn expression.

Sun Tao summoned all the team members, and each of them was fully armed, armed with guns and live ammunition, and arranged defenses and guards around them.

The fog was thick around, and the exploration headlights on the bow of the "Exploration" ship were all turned on, illuminating from afar into the thick fog that was coming. Everyone boarded the bow of the ship and looked into the distance, hoping to find something.

While looking around, Xiao Ling looked up at the sky from time to time to prevent a pale big hand from appearing.

As the "Exploration" slowly entered, the fog became thicker and thicker. Under the fog, there was a cloud of darkness around it, which seemed very quiet. There was no sound of wind or waves slapping on the hull.

"Look, what is that?" Suddenly, Xiao Ling stretched out his hand and headed towards the thick fog in the distance.

Xiao Ling's physical fitness is several times that of ordinary people, and his vision has been enhanced, seeing farther and clearer than ordinary people. He was the first to discover that light appeared in the thick fog.

When the others heard Xiao Ling's words, they looked in the direction he pointed, but could not see anything. Zhou Kesheng hurriedly picked up the telescope.

"Hmm? A lot of luminescent bodies? What are those?" Zhou Kesheng frowned.

The "Exploration Number" did not stop, and was still slowly driving into the thick fog, entering the area belonging to Guixu in the hand-painted navigation map.

Soon, others also discovered that in the thick fog in the distance, luminous bodies appeared one by one. These luminous bodies flashed lightly and darkly, flashing in the thick fog, very magical, gathering together, making them look wavy and magnificent.

"What are those luminous bodies?" Pang Yan was curious and busy picking up the camera, wanting to capture this scene.

Guo Zhenwei, a marine biologist among the crowd, interjected: "If I guess well, it should be a group of lamp-eye fish gathering there."

"Light-eye fish?" Pang Yan looked at Guo Zhenwei. It was the first time Xiao Ling heard this name.

"Yes." Guo Zhenwei nodded and said, "This lamp-eye fish is also called a flash fish. There are two eye lamps under the nose, which can emit light. It means this is a very rare species of fish."

Pang Yan asked curiously: "Why can this lampfish shine?"

Guo Zhenwei smiled slightly and said, "The light source of this lamp-eye fish is actually the hundreds of millions of bacteria that breed on its head. These bacteria rely on to survive by absorbing the nutrients and oxygen from the fish's blood. Even if this fish dies for a period of time, it can continue to shine."
