Chapter 781 - 745: Dragon Fish
Chapter 781 - 745: Dragon Fish
"This..." The Tidal Calling Siren Princess was startled upon hearing these words and froze in place.
However, upon careful consideration, this indeed seemed possible. Previously, no one dared to consider the Deep Sea Demon Flesh as a resource because there wasn’t enough Celestial Demon Grass juice. Celestial Demon Grass is a type of Spirit Grass that cannot be cultivated in large quantities.
But now, Huang Yi happened to have an abundant supply of Celestial Demon Grass juice, making it possible to control the Deep Sea Demon Flesh!
Thinking of this, the Tidal Calling Siren Princess suddenly felt full of anticipation! Previously, while sailing on the Cloud Sail Battleship, they would always detour around dangerous sea zones, which already slowed their progress considerably—and detouring made it even slower!
However, if they used the Deep Sea Demon Flesh instead, they could travel in a straight line. No matter how treacherous the sea zone or how powerful the Magical Beasts causing trouble there, encountering the Deep Sea Demon Flesh would force them to retreat obediently—or be crushed to death directly!
"Watch out! The Deep Sea Demon Flesh is coming this way!" At this moment, Huang Yi suddenly gave a warning.
The enormous Deep Sea Demon Flesh seemed to have discovered the entrance to Heroes’ Prison. Its massive Dragon Head stood prominently above the ocean, instinctively attracting it to investigate. Its gigantic body began drifting over, resembling a moving island.
In barely any time, the Deep Sea Demon Flesh floated closer and slammed its colossal body forward!
At that moment, it felt as though Mount Tai was crashing down. Huang Yi suddenly felt a gigantic shadow descending between heaven and earth, enveloping him completely, making even breathing seem to halt!
"Boom!" Finally, the enormous Deep Sea Demon Flesh collided with the Dragon Head! An unprecedented tsunami surged forth, sweeping a multitude of objects up into the heavens, mixing them with dark clouds!
Yet, despite this terrible impact, Heroes’ Prison’s Dragon Head remained completely unmoved. Though smaller than the Deep Sea Demon Flesh, it stood unwavering above the ocean, as though eternally rooted there, impervious to any collision!
Inside the Dragon Head became pitch black because its Dragon Mouth was entirely blocked by the Deep Sea Demon Flesh’s massive body!
"Now’s the time! Blood God, take action!" Huang Yi urgently called out!
Blood God immediately charged toward the Dragon Mouth’s opening and collided with the Deep Sea Demon Flesh, before swiftly extending its four arteries toward the latter!
"Plop! Plop! Plop! Plop!" Blood God’s four red arteries, like steel pipes, pierced deeply into the Deep Sea Demon Flesh’s body, beginning to inject large quantities of Celestial Demon Grass juice.
Blood God’s movements were efficient, and within a short time, it had completely transferred all the Celestial Demon Grass juice within its body.
The large volume of Celestial Demon Grass juice began spreading throughout the Deep Sea Demon Flesh’s body.
However, given the enormous size of the Deep Sea Demon Flesh, it still seemed insufficient. Huang Yi felt uneasy inside, unsure whether this quantity of juice would prove effective.
Soon, the Deep Sea Demon Flesh moved away and attacked Heroes’ Prison’s Dragon Head again, seemingly determined to destroy it entirely, its intelligence extremely low.
With its violent movements churning the sea, the rate of Celestial Demon Grass juice diffusing through its body accelerated!
Time ticked by. Huang Yi noticed that the Deep Sea Demon Flesh’s movements were becoming increasingly slow, and its attacks on Heroes’ Prison’s Dragon Head were growing less frequent, as though in a drunken stupor. Even the tsunamis it generated calmed down, no longer as intense as before.
An hour later, the Deep Sea Demon Flesh floated motionlessly on the ocean surface, its massive tsunamis also subsiding entirely. The gray clouds overhead began dissipating, allowing warm sunlight to shine down once more.
Everything seemed to return to normal—with the sole exception of a massive Deep Sea Demon Flesh body now resting on the ocean surface, resembling an island.
"It’s finally working!" The Tidal Calling Siren Princess, witnessing this change, exclaimed excitedly, her colorful tail gently raised.
"I’ll go take a look!" Huang Yi declared, immediately flying out from the Dragon Mouth of the Cloud Sail Battleship into the open sea.
He landed directly onto the Deep Sea Demon Flesh’s body. The gigantic flesh felt hard, like rock, devoid of any sensation of softness. The surface was even coated in a stony crust covered with aquatic vegetation, as though it had been dormant for ages, long enough for plants to grow on it.
Without prior knowledge, Huang Yi might have mistaken the Deep Sea Demon Flesh for an island.
Huang Yi collected Blood God and re-summoned Water Demon, asking, "Water Demon, now that the Deep Sea Demon Flesh is paralyzed, how do we control its movement?"
"Master really paralyzed it?" Water Demon expressed mild surprise, then explained, "The Deep Sea Demon Flesh has four tentacles used for directional sensing. These four tentacles are located at the front, back, left, and right positions. Simply stimulate the appropriate tentacle, and the Deep Sea Demon Flesh will move in that direction."
"We want it to head forward, so we’ll locate the corresponding tentacle in this direction!" Huang Yi identified the orientation, then swiftly flew toward Hero’s Continent, searching for the tentacle atop this island-sized Deep Sea Demon Flesh.
From high above, Huang Yi inspected the Deep Sea Demon Flesh’s body, noticing its surface etched with ravines akin to mountain ridges. After an extended search, he arrived at the other side of the Deep Sea Demon Flesh.
Eventually, Huang Yi discovered the tentacle.
The tentacle was situated in a "bay" of the "island," resembling a bare, leafless tree trunk, requiring over ten people to encircle its girth. It grew straight upward, covered with moss, appearing more like a stone pillar than a tentacle.
Next, Huang Yi directed the Cloud Sail Battleship out from Heroes’ Prison’s entrance and maneuvered it into this bay, lightly using the ship’s power to nudge the tentacle.
Sure enough, the Deep Sea Demon Flesh responded to the stimulation reflexively, suddenly accelerating in the direction of the tentacle, moving at speeds far surpassing the Cloud Sail Battleship!
The temporarily calmed sea erupted again as the Deep Sea Demon Flesh surged ahead, generating massive tsunamis that swept outward in all directions, engulfing everything in its path!
The Cloud Sail Battleship was rapidly pushed ahead by the Deep Sea Demon Flesh’s momentum, moving at lightning speed. On the deck, Huang Yi’s hair wildly whipped backward in the ferocious wind, as though flying!
"Amazing! It’s as if we have an invincible powerhouse escorting and leading our way!" The Tidal Calling Siren Princess exclaimed eagerly on the deck, watching the scenery rapidly retreat around them.
Their journey to the Central Continent would now be dramatically expedited!
In this ocean, beings capable of defeating the Deep Sea Demon Flesh were exceedingly rare, and those that could defeat it typically remained dormant deep in the ocean, rarely awakening.
As the group advanced, the Deep Sea Demon Flesh carried them into a peculiar sea zone!
The seawater here appeared faintly blood-red, exuding an uncomfortable, nauseating presence akin to blood.
"The nautical charts indicate that this vast area belongs to a Heavenly Domain Dragon Fish!" The Tidal Calling Siren Princess said, consulting the charts upon seeing the blood-red waters.
Previously, encountering such a forbidden zone would have required them to detour; a Heavenly Domain-level Dragon Fish could easily destroy their Cloud Sail Battleship. Yet now, with the Deep Sea Demon Flesh, they could charge straight ahead, directly passing through.
The enormous body of the Deep Sea Demon Flesh plowed into the blood-red waters without hesitation.
The Blood Sea felt infinite; gazing outward revealed only endless crimson, with no discernible end in sight. The Deep Sea Demon Flesh’s entry triggered towering waves, sending blood-red surges cascading outward.
"Roar!" After some time, a thunderous cry containing faint dragon echoes reverberated from the distance. It carried immense power, imposing even from afar.
"It seems the Dragon Fish has arrived!" Water Demon identified the source of the roar.
"Hm?" The Tidal Calling Siren Princess suddenly froze, her expression intent as though concentrating.
"What’s wrong?" Huang Yi asked, noting her unusual demeanor.
Gazing toward the origin of the roar, the Tidal Calling Siren Princess murmured, "I think... I think I can sense a fragment of the Pillar of Sea God!"
"Really?" Huang Yi exclaimed, raising his gaze to stare ahead.
This would be the first Divine Artifact Fragment they had managed to sense in days!
Judging from the roar alone, the fragment’s likely location seemed to be on the Dragon Fish itself! To obtain it, they would need to kill the Dragon Fish. With the Deep Sea Demon Flesh, achieving this wouldn’t be overly difficult!
Soon, Huang Yi gazed forward, spotting a massive wave advancing rapidly. Through the waves, he glimpsed a golden fish with a dragon’s head.
The creature’s aura felt comparable to the Heavenly Domain Guardians in Dragon City, at the level of Primary Heaven Domain!
The Dragon Fish also noticed the Deep Sea Demon Flesh, abruptly slowing down as if sensing a powerful threat, hesitating to approach further!
"Fire the cannons!" Huang Yi commanded the crew to attack the Dragon Fish using the Magic Cannons!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Instantly, the Cloud Sail Battleship’s cannons erupted with fiery tongues, launching explosive rounds with immense force toward the Dragon Fish!
