Chapter 314 Sea Monster Tide
Just as he was about to board the boat, he suddenly felt that the water flow around him had changed.
A large amount of water seemed to have deviated from the norm, flowing against the ocean currents towards the deep sea.
Zhong Ming's eyes hadn't undergone any special training; he just felt that the distance seemed to have become darker.
A bad feeling popped into his head, and he immediately jumped into the cabin.
Entering the deep-sea cabin requires using spiritual power to create a thin membrane of air. Chi Tong struggled to maintain this small opening, and when Zhong Ming entered, she finally closed it helplessly, her eyes filled with a hint of reproach.
What are you dawdling about outside for?
Zhong Ming guessed that this was probably how the question was phrased.
There's a problem outside.
“Of course,” Akame said, completely exhausted. Her spiritual energy was completely depleted, and she lay there on her side, her face etched with weariness. “That… self-destruction… emitted a… spiritual energy signal.”
Her voice was barely audible, some words were barely audible even compared to her breathing, so Zhong Ming had no choice but to lie down next to her.
There were seven people on the boat, packed tightly together, but the key point was that five of them were unconscious, leaving only the two of them.
The situation suddenly became somewhat ambiguous...
However, at this moment, Chi Tong was much more nervous than Zhong Ming, "He has stirred up the beast tide, the underwater beast tide."
The surrounding seawater flow became terrifying, stirring up sand, pebbles, shells, and coral fragments from the seabed, which continuously pounded against the spirit boat.
Zhong Ming continued to pour spiritual energy into the spirit boat, but he also exhausted his spiritual energy, managing to squeeze out some from the dragon vein.
A huge black shadow loomed over them, like a small mountain floating over the top of the ship.
"Giant Bone Abyss Fish".
Zhong Ming remembered that the Merfolk once used a huge skeleton of a Dark Abyss Fish as a siege weapon to ram Jade City.
"Let's stop channeling our spiritual energy, prepare to remain silent, and hurry up and recover our spiritual energy."
It sounds nice to say things like "silent preparation," but in reality, they don't even have the energy to start any spiritual devices.
After Zhong Ming finished speaking, the cabin went from transparent to dark again. The faint light emitted by the illuminating stone he had thrown out with his "great wasteful technique" could no longer shine into the cabin, and it was plunged into complete darkness.
He kept his mouth open as wide as he could, not knowing if there was any oxygen supply in the cabin. He could only pray that the oxygen reserves in his dentures were enough to keep the seven men alive for a while.
The only sound in the cabin was the even breathing of the two people.
Yes, sometimes she's a bit rushed, and her little red-eyed hands always seem to be clutching a spirit stone and stuffing it around everywhere.
It was pitch black, and she had no idea where Zhong Ming's hand was.
As everyone knows, with one move of the "Great Wasteful Technique," Zhong Ming threw all his spirit stones outside, without even having time to pick them up.
The spirit boat continued to shake.
Powerful monsters swam swiftly overhead. This was a premeditated beast tide; one could even say that the Merfolk had been preparing for this beast tide ever since they returned home.
They've been dealing with the sea for so long that they know how to make some sea creatures peacefully divide their territories and temporarily live in "waiting areas."
They knew from the beginning that a human counterattack was coming, and even some of the people in Pingzhou who were cooperating with them sent secret messengers to inform them.
Some people did not want the Merfolk to suffer too many casualties in this counterattack.
So... let the giants of the sea fight.
Because a new Nascent Soul stage expert had appeared in this sea area, the merman patriarch, who had just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, went to Yunzhou to cause trouble after completing his breakthrough. So when he arrived here, the surrounding deep-sea monsters were so frightened that they ran away with their tails between their legs without any warning.
In their understanding, breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage requires undergoing a great tribulation of lightning, a massive tribulation that cannot be passed quietly.
We haven't even fought the weakened Nascent Soul cultivator who was just struck by lightning yet, how did we become one?
They were easily driven towards the mainland by the merman chieftain Ying Tian. Because of the landing operation, Ying Tian also thoughtfully gave special attention to sea monsters like crabs that could come ashore.
After the previous waves of fish swam by, the army of demon crabs arrived.
Zhong Ming caught his breath and his parched dantian finally had a thin layer of spiritual energy. Just as he was about to exert himself to absorb another spirit stone, the small boat suddenly began to rock, as if it had been kicked away by something.
The group bumped into each other unexpectedly. Zhong Ming didn't even know who he was holding in his arms or who he was kicking. The entire cabin was in chaos.
He wondered if he should inject some spiritual energy to make the boat more stable, but the next moment, the boat suddenly stopped.
'It crashed onto the seabed?' Zhong Ming sensed something was wrong. 'There was no impact.'
The next moment, a teeth-grinding scraping sound came from both the top and bottom of the ship.
He couldn't resist secretly opening a small area, about the size of a palm, which he made transparent. Looking out, with the help of the light from what he couldn't tell was either a lanternfish or a lightning eel, he could vaguely see the outline of a coral reef.
A sliver of light that finally appeared in the small boat drew Chi Tong over as well. She slowly climbed up behind Zhong Ming, lay on his back, and peeked out from his broad shoulders, saying softly, "It's... a crab, an Arctic Dark Abyss Crab."
Zhong Ming really wanted to ask why all these big guys had the word "Dark Abyss" in their names, but now there was a more important question.
Damn, that red-eyed guy is behind me. Who am I holding in my arms?
This thing... is even more exciting than a lottery.
"Can it bite us?"
"I can't bite it, but..." Before he could finish speaking, the crab bit into the spirit boat, grinding all the seaweed away cleanly.
If the Dark Abyss Crab can't bite something but is very interested in it, it will usually... toss it onto its back.
Then, they bounced up and down on the back of the big crab for a long time.
Half an hour later.
Good news! The old woman has slowly regained consciousness. Special praise goes to Mr. Zhong Ming for his warm heart.
Bad news, the big crab has been eaten.
They were eaten along with them.
This spirit boat is disguised to look too much like a fish.
After the old woman woke up, the two felt reassured. As long as the spirit boat didn't shatter on the spot, they would no longer be afraid.
Under the old woman's command, the others quickly woke up as well, except for the Hidden Wolf Army cultivator.
"Where are we now?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, given the current situation, the fish won't be able to digest us in its stomach."
"But we can't get out either."
