In the summer of 1997, the American National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) detected a strange ultra-low-frequency deep-sea sound signal in the South Pacific Ocean.
Unlike the long-established Celestial Empire and other ancient civilizations, the United States focused on scientific and technological development in the last century and was late in investing in supernatural research. Therefore, American experts at the time only thought that the sound came from a creature. Coupled with the fact that several hydrophone arrays thousands of miles away had observed the strange sound, they speculated that the creature was huge. However, many people thought that the research conclusion was too ridiculous and ignored it.
At that time, the American researchers did not pay too much attention to the results of this research, and it even leaked to the outside world. It was called the bloop by the busybodies, and it was talked about by many mysticism and uma enthusiasts.
However, not long after, the American National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration began to keep the matter a secret, and similar observations never appeared again. This was very unusual because the migration of large groups of whales in the ocean, the chain eruption of underwater volcanoes, and the movement of oceanic crustal plates could all cause similar sound signals. However, NOAA seemed to have forgotten about the bloop and never mentioned it again.
The reason was not complicated. The original speculation of the researcher was correct. In the South Pacific Ocean, there was a super creature that humans could not imagine.
It was estimated to be more than 2,000 kilometers long and was speculated to be some kind of marine arthropod super-giant creature.
As early as ancient times, human sorcerers had confirmed the existence of the creature and knew that it was a super creature that could easily destroy a civilization.
In the Ugaritic epics, it was called litan; in the Book of Isaiah, it was called Rahab the sea monster; in some ancient cities on the Mediterranean coast, it was called lotan.
But it also had a most well-known name.
In the Hebrew Bible, it was called the Leviathan.
Humans knew almost nothing about the food source, living conditions, life cycle, and other habits of the Leviathan. Currently, some supernatural scholars believed that the Malvinas Islands at the southern tip of South America were actually the dormant Leviathan. The earthquakes around the islands about once every three months were the 'breathing' of the Leviathan.
But unfortunately, this was not true.
"Because you like to stay in the depths of the ocean more than places close to land …"
At this time, meteorologists around the world would be scratching their heads over the strange sudden airflow in the center of the South Pacific. The huge cyclone created a spiral of clouds, so much so that even observational satellites could not capture the scene there.
Fortunately, this was the case. Otherwise, those normal people who didn't know about the other side of the world would definitely be shocked by the scene that appeared there.
The center of the Pacific Ocean, which had an average depth of more than 4,500 meters, seemed to have been cut open by some kind of sharp weapon at this moment. A crack so deep that the seabed could be seen appeared in the ocean. The thick water walls on both sides existed in a state that defied the common sense of physics and did not close for a long time.
At the edge of the crack, one could see half of a huge creature's head.
It was a rather handsome half-head that looked like a giant dragon from the legends. Most of the head's owner's body was still submerged in the sea.
It was just using its pair of pitch-black, huge eyes that were unknown whether they were compound eyes or some other structure to stare at the tiny creature that was no different from a speck of dust to it.
"No matter how many times I see it, it's still shockingly big … Even the ninety-nine-headed giant dragon and the Kraken Dragon of the Great Devil Realm can't compare to you in terms of size …"
In fact, when Xu Shenxing first learned that such a creature existed on Earth, he was also shocked.
This was too different from what he knew about Earth before he transmigrated …
Moreover, this guy in front of him was only an Earth creature after all. Compared to some of the cosmic creatures in Centaurus that could travel through the universe, it was still much smaller and its personality was not as fierce.
"Although I can't eat seafood, Song Yu's parents rarely come to Jiang Jin, so I have to treat them to something special." Xu Shenxing stopped his little sheep on the coral reef next to him, then looked directly at the Leviathan, "So it's okay to take some meat from you, right? Anyway, your body is so big, so you won't feel anything, right? "
Most creatures had some commonalities. The bigger their body, the lower their vigilance when facing the same kind of enemy — just like how cats would be afraid when they see a vicious dog, humans would be vigilant when they see a vicious dog, and elephants would just ignore it when they see a vicious dog.
Based on the Leviathan's body size, in all of Earth and its affiliated spaces, except for Bechymos and Schiz (the legendary giant bird that was said to be as tall as the ground to heaven, and could cover the sun when it spread its wings. If the Leviathan was the king of the ocean, Bechymos was the king of the earth, and Schiz was the king of the sky), only monsters at the level of Typhon could make it vigilant.
But today was different. Although the Leviathan was clearly just an insignificant human, it had never felt such intense vigilance since its birth.
The vigilance that almost filled its huge body gathered together and finally led to a fear that went deep into its brain. This kind of fear even made the Leviathan not dare to move. It could only watch helplessly as the other party dug out a piece of meat from its body … Although to it, that piece of meat the size of a soup bowl really didn't hurt or itch.
After the other party left, the two walls of the sea collapsed as if they had discussed it beforehand. A large amount of seawater poured in, and finally formed a huge whirlpool, and gave birth to a new SSR typhoon, which gave America a big surprise. But this is a story for another time, so let's skip it for now.

"I'm back … Is that right?"
After opening the apartment's security door with the spare key given by the girl, Xu Shenxing hesitantly stuck his head out and said.
"Welcome back ~"
The girl in an apron walked out of the kitchen and asked Xu Shenxing with a smile, "What did you buy?"
"Baby cabbage, potatoes, tomatoes, eggs, enoki mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, tofu … Uh, and mantis shrimp meat?"
Hearing this, Xu Shenxing looked down and counted the plastic bags before answering.
"Why is the last sentence a question …" The girl asked strangely.
Of course it's because I don't know if the Leviathan can be considered a mantis shrimp.
Xu Shenxing answered in his heart.
