“Flagellar pipefish?”

Yang Yi narrowed his eyes and saw these water grape-like creatures clearly, and recognized their identities.

Although the shapes are completely different, the black flagella attached to the surface of this crystal grape and the slender fish head indicate that it is a flagellar pipefish.

These fish are actually sucking the body fluids of this suspected dead sea lung, and each one is like a well-fed mosquito, sucking until their bodies swell up like translucent balls.

Yang Yi drew out the Broken Iron Giant Sword, aimed at the sea lung and stabbed it, then pulled it out, and a familiar liquid spurted out from it, which was the sea squirt acid juice, and some sticky gelatinous liquid leaked out, which quickly blocked the gap.

“The thickness is about 30 centimeters, and there is a layer of gel, which will solidify and repair the wound…”

Yang Yi has now entered the sword art, and has a good grasp of the distance and strength. With one sword, he measured the internal structure of the sea lung epidermis.

According to Tricia, his swordsmanship is barely good enough, but it is still far from passing the Knight Commander’s assessment, let alone a Paladin who is as strong as a monster.

Yang Yi cut another knife and took a photo to confirm the internal structure of the sea lung’s epidermis. After all, he might have to open the way manually at that time, so it is safer to understand it in advance.

Then he swam towards the water inlet or trachea of ​​the sea lung.

“With this size, even ten Nightmare Stars can enter side by side.”

Yang Yi sighed while swimming and took photos to record.

“Since there is no ambush, I will sail over.”

Su Na sent a private message, and she also saw the message and pictures sent by Yang Yi.

“No danger was found outside, but the inside is unknown. Don’t go in yet. I’ll go and take a look.”

Yang Yi replied and increased his swimming speed.

Two minutes later.

He finally found traces of human activities.

On both sides and the top of the inner wall of the passage, some structures that looked like chandeliers and street lamps began to appear. They were chains and wooden stakes embedded in the passage, but no one had maintained them for a long time, and they were seriously decayed and crooked.

But judging from the spherical object hanging on the top chain, it should be a small light container, but it was empty, and the tops of the wooden stakes on both sides were braziers for lighting.

When the flow of people was at its peak, this place should be brightly lit. From a distance, it should be a series of glowing internal passages, with boats constantly entering and exiting.

After swimming for about 500 meters, the sea water became shallower and the passage narrower. Finally, a structure that looked like a dock port appeared in front, but there was no ship.

And judging from the state of the port, it should be an abandoned port, tattered, and many places collapsed.

Yang Yi took off the fishman’s head cover and prepared to observe with three eyes, but the stench and acid erosion inside almost made him vomit, and he retched a few times. The source of the bloody smell was deeper.

“You know it stinks!”

Tricia didn’t know when she made two nasal plugs with cloth and blocked her nose.

Anyway, she doesn’t need to breathe, and her nose is only used to sense smells, so blocking it doesn’t matter.

Yang Yi couldn’t do that. He scanned the area with his three eyes and put on the fishman’s headgear again. He would rather smell the fishy smell than the stench, as if he was in a frozen meat warehouse where the power was cut off and the meat was spoiled.

“No living creatures were found, let’s go up and take a look first.”

Yang Yi swam to a relatively intact dock, took advantage of the water, and jumped ashore.

Tricia followed closely behind.

“This should be made of black wood. This place used to be quite wealthy.”

Yang Yi squatted down, touched the wood on the ground, and with a little force, he dug a hole. The cross-section of the wood was also black and seriously rotten.

If this was made of ordinary wood, it would have been completely rotten long ago.

He glanced around, stepped on the wooden floor, and walked forward.

The buildings here are all embedded in the inner wall of the channel, that is, in the body of the sea lung to achieve fixation, concentrated on both sides of the channel, and there are several layers, even underwater, like the plank road or building next to the cliff.

Moreover, the layered and repeated structure indicates that the water depth here is not fixed and is in dynamic change.

But it should be fixed now. The body of this sea lung has begun to rot and is about to die, or even has died.

Yang Yi remained alert and walked inside. He soon came to the end of the port. In front of him, there appeared a lake located inside the sea lung, with a diameter of about two kilometers. This should be the digestion pool where it absorbs and stores seawater and digests food. The color of the water inside is different, yellowish green and a little sticky.

At the interface between the channel and the lake, there is a structure that looks like a valve from bottom to top, separating the seawater outside from the digestion pool inside. Only when absorbing and spitting water, the horizontal plane can cross this valve to achieve liquid exchange.

Moreover, there is an artificial structure on the valve that looks like a door. It is round and may be opened, but it has not been maintained for a long time and has been covered by the flesh derived from the valve for most of the time.

“The space inside is so large, and there is light.”

Tricia was surprised and looked up at the top.

It was a huge vertical shaft, but the top was sealed, and the surrounding area was full of man-made buildings, and there was also a suspension bridge for easy walking.

Such buildings were built all the way to the highest point, about 500 to 600 meters high.

And there were holes on the inner wall, which seemed to be artificially dug, and the top was reinforced with materials to prevent the holes from collapsing due to the self-healing of the sea lung, so as to gain more space.

In this way, humans are more like parasites that parasitize the sea lung, the benign kind.

Yang Yi took off his hood again and used his third eye to grasp the internal situation with the help of smell and vision.

As Tricia said, there is light inside, thanks to the blue bumps on the surface of the inner wall, which emit a faint blue light, like a fluorescent lamp.

This structure is also found in the outer skin and channels, but it does not emit light, so it is probably necrotic.

The glow inside shows that the sea squirt is not completely dead.

He quickly located the source of the bloody smell, which was diagonally opposite, in a particularly spacious hole.

Moreover, in the entire internal space of the building, only the nearby brazier was lit to provide brighter lighting. The rest of the building seemed to be deserted.

This is also reasonable.

After all, the half-fish man said before that there are only 3,000 people left on the entire island. There is no need for such a large space and it cannot be maintained.

Using only part of it and one port is probably the limit for this group of people, which is probably the port on the other side.

“Let’s go and take a look at the fire over there. But be careful, don’t get too far away from me. There is a strong smell of blood here, and the number of people who died is estimated to be hundreds.”

Yang Yi said, starting to walk in the direction of the brazier.

Tricia followed closely behind.

But when he got here, he still wasn’t attacked by the fish-men or half-murlocs. What on earth were these guys doing?
