Chapter 414: Abyssal Behemoth!
Chapter 414: Abyssal Behemoth!The water-grass wings on the Sea God's face fluttered gently as she elegantly made a meat-cutting motion:
"I await my teacher's arrival! Haige, after you finish handling the sacrificial offerings and making offerings to the Kraken God, put on your formal attire and go wait quietly for my teacher at the entrance to the Sublimation Land.
Remember, when entertaining the Witch, you must not lose elegance and must use the highest etiquette."
Hearing that the Ice Witch was coming to assassinate her, the Sea God couldn't help but curl her lips into a faint smile, elegantly using her fork to dig some seaweed from the wall and savoring it carefully.
Her teacher hadn't forgotten her!
Lady Sea God is smiling... Indeed, to her, the Ice Witch's power is nothing worth mentioning... But she seems to have misunderstood me... As Sea God's most beloved apostle, I cannot miscommunicate information... Haige swallowed hard:
"Lady Sea God, I didn't explain clearly. According to the intelligence we currently possess, the Ice Witch won't be coming. She only dispatched her disciples—the Black Hunter and the Flower Witch..."
She only sent the Black Hunter and the Flower Witch...
The smile instantly vanished from the Sea God's face.
A silent killing intent permeated the enormous palace, an aura that made even Haige, whose body was comparable to reforged steel, tremble uncontrollably."..."
The Ice Witch isn't coming? What kind of joke is this! Has that damned little white-haired girl gone mad! The Sea God tightened her grip on the knife and fork:
"Teacher has truly become senile! Haige, no need to prepare any etiquette!"
After all, she was someone about to undergo sublimation, the supreme leader of the Sea God Pirates, the new god destined to rule the seas!
And yet, she actually, actually, actually only sent two small fries... The Sea God took a deep breath:
"Haige, go retrieve the sacrificial offerings. At that time, the great Kraken God will assist you in blocking everything. Except for the Ice Witch herself, I do not wish to see those weak small fries appear before my eyes!"
As she spoke, the Sea God emitted an extremely cold aura.
"As you command!"
Haige said loudly, inwardly sighing in relief. Fortunately, his performance today had been perfect enough not to provoke the Sea God's anger.
Snap!
Then, the Sea God lightly flicked her finger, as if flicking a marble, sending Haige flying to the edge of the palace.
......
Inside the cold steel cabin of the Abyss Ship, a mechanical female voice announced:
"Current depth 6,700 meters. Preparing for second-stage descent. All passengers, please be aware of turbulence and the shadows of the deep sea. Regardless of any circumstances encountered or anything seen, do not leave the Abyss Ship and protect the Abyss Ship..."
"Repeating: Regardless of any circumstances encountered or anything seen, do not leave the Abyss Ship and protect the Abyss Ship!"
The cold mechanical female voice continuously repeated in the confined space, echoing in everyone's minds.
Already 6,700 meters deep... Chen Qi took out his mechanical pocket watch and glanced at it.
Two full days had passed since they entered the Abyss Ship and began their descent.
During these two days, they had encountered manta ray schools, kisses from abyssal sea witches, ocean currents, five-handed shadow demons...
In total, they had faced twenty-one waves of attacks. Fortunately, most were assaults by deep sea monsters, which Chen Qi's charm had successfully resolved.
However... Chen Qi looked at Yisha and Fen's exhausted faces.
Yisha sat in her chair, drooling while clutching Water Spirit No.1 tightly, refusing to let go.
Meanwhile, Fen hugged her staff, leaning against Water Spirit No.2, her hair naturally cascading down.
Apart from Chen Qi, both women had fallen asleep, leaving only the awake water spirits and the little Golden Flower Fox.
Yisha stroked while wearing a perverted expression, talking in her sleep:
"My water spirit, hehe, my water spirit, so bouncy and soft..."
The large Water Spirit No.1 trapped in Yisha's embrace urgently cried for help:
"Waku waku! (Master, save me! Human drool is dripping onto my head! I'm not clean anymore!!!)"
The soundly sleeping Yisha held the struggling Water Spirit No.1 firmly in her arms, refusing to release it.
The harder Water Spirit No.1 struggled, the tighter she hugged.
"..."
Fen's sleeping face is quite cute... Chen Qi ignored Water Spirit No.1's cries and glanced at the little Golden Flower Fox beside him.
The little Golden Flower Fox stood on the chair, staring blankly at Yisha's hand constantly kneading Water Spirit No.1's bouncy little face.
Yisha's pet is really well-behaved... Chen Qi couldn't help but marvel. In his impression, Golden Flower Foxes were very delicate, fussy pets—the nobility among pets—who would get angry at the slightest dissatisfaction.
Yet, this little Golden Flower Fox actually remained calm in such an oppressive environment!
And why does its expression look strange? Chen Qi scratched his head and surveyed the Abyss Ship's interior again.
The Abyss Ship's internal space wasn't large, containing only a rest area, a bathroom, and a captain's cabin.
They were in the rest area, with transparent circular windows on both sides.
"The deep sea..."
Chen Qi walked forward, touched the extremely cold glass, and looked into the distance.
Descending in a submarine in the deep sea felt more lonely, oppressive, and dangerous than sailing on the ocean surface—
Once they left this cramped room, they would be completely swallowed by the sea.
Mounted on the Abyss Ship's exterior were four Guardian Bird Lamps from an A-rank dimensional rift—powerful light sources that could repel monsters, top-tier artifacts from the White Tower Federation's Workshop.
Yet even so, at this moment, Chen Qi could only see faint light and boundless darkness that devoured everything.
It was as if the universe had been reduced to this submarine, floating in this endless abyss.
Gurgle! Gurgle!
Then, the mechanical female voice sounded.
"Current depth 6,900 meters. Approaching depth 7,000 meters. Depth 7,000 meters marks the ocean's abyss. Repeating..."
Boom!
Suddenly, a tremendous noise interrupted the mechanical voice.
Under this massive force, the dark seawater before Chen Qi churned violently, and his head slammed hard against the wall.
Monsters are attacking again!!
The enormous noise jolted Yisha and Fen awake from their sleep!!
It hurts! Fen opened her eyes, immediately stabilized her posture, and looked out the window.
In the deep sea, polluted seawater blocked spiritual energy detection, forcing both her and Yisha to rely on vision to locate their attackers.
Meanwhile, the warm yellow lights inside the cabin rapidly changed to flashing bright red lights.
"Warning! Warning! Under attack by unknown creature! Under unknown attack!"
Boom! The tremendous noise came again, plunging the entire ship into turbulence once more.
"Warning! Warning! Under attack by unknown creature! Under unknown attack! Passengers must protect the Abyss Ship, protect the Abyss Ship!!! Protect the Abyss Ship!!!"
What's happening? Yisha released Water Spirit No.1 and checked the captain's cabin radar. According to the red dot display, their attacker was a fifty-meter-long abyssal water cannon whale.
The water cannon whale was continuously gathering abyssal water cannons to attack their vessel.
The monster isn't strong! Yisha proactively walked to the submarine's emergency exit and declared confidently:
"Everyone, leave this one to me!"
With that, she sharply snapped her fingers.
Instantly, the Ghostfire Fish, Sea Cloud, and Bullet Squids bound to Yisha by temporary contracts moved like soldiers following her command!
Heart Affinity. Pet Command. Concentrated Attack!
Swish! Swish!
In the deep sea, the evolved Ghostfire Fish, Sea Cloud, and Bullet Squids charged out en masse, rushing toward the water cannon whale assaulting their submarine!
Moments later, through the thick walls, they heard the water cannon whale's mournful cries.
As the cries faded, the bright red radar warnings and flashing red lights overhead gradually ceased.
Yisha clapped her hands:
"Everyone, don't worry, I've taken care of it all..."
"No, it's not over yet."
Chen Qi interrupted Yisha, lowering his gaze toward the cold floor.
The real danger had just arrived.
Unlike Yisha and Fen, he possessed stronger deep sea perception that could ignore deep sea interference and detect deep sea monsters.
Chen Qi's spiritual energy vision penetrated the deck, continuously probing deeper into the abyss.
Deeper and deeper—
At depths even the submarine's radar couldn't detect, immense water pressure surged like a massive volcanic eruption—
Chen Qi strained to use his deep sea perception to glimpse the entire form of this leviathan.
Length: one hundred, five hundred—
No, an astonishing fifteen hundred meters!
A fifteen-hundred-meter sea beast—over thirty times larger than the water cannon whale—resembled a moving titan fortress. This was a terrifying entity of deep-sea titan caliber!
Its roar alone created torrents;
its movement alone spawned tsunamis!
Appearance-wise, its core was an oval hundred-meter sphere, from which tentacles continuously extended—totaling five hundred in number, each reaching an astonishing nine hundred meters long, and capable of continuous growth and elongation—
These ever-extending tentacles were now heading straight for them!
Chen Qi immediately shouted:
"Prepare defenses!"
Boom!
"Understood! Qi!"
Fen immediately gripped her staff, extending four thick vine hands from beneath her witch garments to stabilize herself—
"What exactly have we encountered!!"
Yisha shouted loudly while defending, unable to comprehend what monster Chen Qi had seen.
Besides the captain's cabin radar, she also possessed a deep sea radar purchased from the Blood Blade Pirates for three hundred million Shell Coins, specifically designed to detect deep sea monsters.
Yet the radar showed no red dots at all...
Swish!
In just one second, the turbulent vessel fell silent.
"Hah..."
Yisha took a deep breath and looked at the radar in her hand.
The radar screen was completely covered in red!
This indicated that the entire area detectable by the radar had been occupied by the monster!
"What kind of monster is this..."
Yisha's voice softened as she looked out the window.
In the submarine's faint light, a blood-red eye with thousands of pupils stared at them from the deep sea.
Beside that blood-red eye, countless giant-like tentacles continuously extended, pressing against their submarine.
This monster held the Abyss Ship submarine like a colossal titan giant grasping a tiny bean!
Yisha swallowed hard and whispered:
"The nightmare of the seas, the abyssal leviathan Kraken..."
Without doubt, this was the deep sea leviathan that had once destroyed several coastal cities of their Goldenfinch Kingdom.
"Attack! Launch concentrated assault!"
Acting on instinct, Yisha immediately raised her hand to command.
Instantly, the pet army composed of Ghostfire Fish, Sea Cloud, and Bullet Squids charged through layers of dark waves toward the leviathan whose full form was difficult to discern.
Whoosh—
However, Yisha only heard deafening water sounds before her contracted sea beast army continuously receded into the distance, eventually disappearing from her perception range—
This is a leviathan... Yisha's eyes widened. To gain her family's recognition, she had chosen to join this adventure.
Yet under that blood-red eye's gaze, her family pride and fourth-tier legendary confidence shattered in an instant—
And all this happened in just one second.
The overwhelming terrifying killing intent penetrated the submarine's walls, striking directly at their hearts.
This Kraken leviathan hadn't weakened at all—it seemed to have grown stronger!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Yisha pressed her pounding heart, panting:
"Black Hunter! It seems we underestimated the deep sea leviathan's recovery capabilities!!"
"Deep sea leviathan..."
Chen Qi stood by the window, meeting the deep sea leviathan's gaze.
His Deep Sea Affinity could sense this sea beast's affinity, while also feeling its killing intent!
The two auras continuously intertwined, driving this powerful deep-sea titan.
Like the Black Pig Shark they encountered earlier at sea, this sea beast instinctively felt affinity toward him, yet due to artificial manipulation, was attacking them.
Crack! Crack!
The power to control a deep-sea titan... Chen Qi took a deep breath. This was the true foundation of the Sea God Pirates!
The leviathan's tentacles continuously wrapped around the submarine, like an incredibly powerful giant forcefully pressing a walnut with its hand—
Press!
Press harder!
Crack, crack—
Under this terrifying immense force, the mixed steel walls crafted from over ten types of B-tier dimensional rift materials emitted severe cracking sounds, bulging inward toward the cabin—
"Warning! Warning! This submarine is under highest-level attack!!"
"Warning! Warning! This submarine is under highest-level attack!! Imminent destruction!!!"
"Qi, what should we do next?"
Fen shed several cold sweat drops, hurriedly handing Chen Qi the gill potion from her waist pouch.
This was a temporarily brewed Sage-Level potion that could grant humans fish-like swimming and breathing abilities!
However, even with diving suits in this deep sea, it would only allow three minutes of free navigation underwater!
In that moment, a flash of despair crossed Fen's eyes.
Unlike on land, they had no escape routes. Their only option was to protect this submarine!
This submarine was their everything!
Yet in this vast abyss, she couldn't imagine how to protect a tiny submarine from a kilometer-class deep-sea titan.
In the deep-sea titan's hands, this submarine was merely a small walnut.
Yisha's pupils continuously contracted.
Terrifying helplessness eroded her.
In such confined deep sea conditions, she couldn't even escape.
In that instant, every second stretched into eternity.
A horrifying sense of despair continuously reverberated within the cramped room.
Until a clear young voice shattered the silence:
"Fen, you two operate the submarine and continue descending. I'll go meet the abyssal leviathan—"
Chen Qi drank the potion in one gulp, enhancing his deep sea perception and underwater mobility.
He faintly sensed that beneath this deep sea lay some ruin-like structures. As expected, that was likely where the Sea God's palace was located.
There might be an area where humans could move freely!
If they reached that place, they would have a chance at survival!
But before that, I must first deal with this leviathan trying to crush the Abyss Ship...
Chen Qi took a deep breath, unprecedented sharpness flashing in his eyes.
In this abyss, only he could move freely.
Chen Qi's gaze met the blood-red eye as he hurried toward the Abyss Ship's door, directly gripping the thick steel door with both hands.
"Qi, what are you doing?"
Fen blinked, confusion and fear flashing in her eyes.
As Chen Qi approached the Abyss Ship door, warning sounds erupted again.
#Warning! Warning! Do not leave the Abyss Ship!!!#
"Don't! This is suicide..."
Yisha also realized Chen Qi's intention and urgently cried out.
Chen Qi intended to go outside to deal with the deep-sea titan.
But facing a titan alone in the deep sea was no different from seeking death.
Crack!
Suddenly, Yisha's voice was drowned out by a thunderous, violent sound!
Crack!
Chen Qi directly ignored the Abyss Ship's warnings, forcibly prying open the Abyss Ship submarine's door with his bare hands!
