Chapter 105
After the pirate fell into the illusion, his combative powers improved a lot, but Duan Hongzhen was quickly able to control him. But then the giant tentacles caught up and launched ferocious attacks.
Under the murderous chase of the giant sea monster, Xiao Tangqiu swam desperately towards the biggest s.h.i.+pwreck. When he approached the s.h.i.+pwreck made of bones, he shuddered. Every single one of those hollow skulls seemed to be watching him. If it were not for the legendary treasure, he would not want to approach this ghost s.h.i.+p made of human bones by a mile.
Unlike the previous ghost s.h.i.+p, even though this bone vessel had been underwater for many years, no seabed microbes had attached to it at all. Plus, there were also no living creatures in the seawater lake. It was just like an empty zone of death.
Xiao Tangqiu felt off all over, and the unknown feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger. But the tentacles were getting closer and closer. In order to avoid the attack, he had to swim into the bone s.h.i.+p with the others.
They couldn’t speak under the water. Everyone could only communicate by gestures. As soon as Shen Yuan came in, Shen Yuan quickly made a separate to search gesture, and everyone dispersed to search quickly.
The inside of this bone s.h.i.+p was very simple. There was nothing except for the piles of white bones. Xiao Tangqiu could even see the giant tentacles lurking outside through the gaps of the bones. For some reason, ever since they entered the bone s.h.i.+p, those tentacles calmed down.
Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t help but ponder. This s.h.i.+p of human bones should only seem terrible to them as humans. But it was probably not even as strong as an ordinary s.h.i.+p for the giant monster and it could be broken in one move. So why didn’t it continue to attack this s.h.i.+p? Was there something terrible on this s.h.i.+p that even the sea monster didn’t dare to go against?
At this moment, Fei You suddenly found something. After making repeated gestures to have them go over and see, Xiao Tangqiu laid down his doubts and swam towards Fei You.
Fei You found a small wooden box. This small wooden box looked simple and seemed nothing special, but one must consider that it had been immersed in seawater for many years. Yet it had not rotted over the years, still as strong as ever.
Fei You tried to open the box, but after trying for a long time, he shook his head at everyone.
Duan Hongzhen took the small wooden box and tried to open it, but he also shook his head.
After the others tried one by one, the small wooden box was handed over to Xiao Tangqiu. Xiao Tangqiu studied the keyhole and saw that the shape of the keyhole was clearly the ruby ring. He shook the small wooden box and was shocked to realize that the small wooden box was empty inside. And not only was there no water in it, but there was also a small thing inside… A small thing that sounded awfully like a ring.
Xiao Tangqiu, “…”
Putting the ruby ring in a small wooden box that could only be opened by the ruby ring was indeed a great way to hide treasure. The key was the treasure, and the treasure was the key. If you didn’t take out the key, you wouldn’t get the treasure, but the key was in the box containing the treasure.
It locked itself?
Xiao Tangqiu sighed inwardly and gestured to Shen Yuan about his findings.
Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow, took out his silver gun, and aimed it at the keyhole, obviously intending to brute force the lock.
After the bang of the gun, the lock actually broke.
A ruby k200K;k200K;ring was exposed, and it was exactly the same as the one they had seen before. Under the refraction of the sea, it gave out a more mysterious and beautiful l.u.s.ter, perhaps even more gorgeous than before.
The moment Shen Yuan got the ring, the giant tentacles ominously reached inwards and crushed most of the bone s.h.i.+p in an instant. Everyone immediately ran, but their way back was blocked by the tentacles so they could only swim continuously deeper into the s.h.i.+p.
Finally, at the end of the s.h.i.+p, they saw a door.
It was a wooden door with intricate patterns. Such a door appeared particularly out of place on such a s.h.i.+p, but they had no choice but to rush towards the wooden door with the deadly tentacles right behind them.
Duan Hongzhen slammed into the door with his body, but the door remained motionless.
Xiao Tangqiu found the shape of the keyhole was somewhat familiar. He pointed to the keyhole and then to the ruby ring in Shen Yuan’s hand.
Shen Yuan compared it, and it really matched. This ruby ring was obviously the key to open the door.
Unknowingly, Xiao Tangqiu suddenly felt something was wrong.
…Something was wrong, this was all too coincidental. It was as if someone arranged all of this behind the scenes, even the chase of the giant kraken creature seemed to be deliberately driving them to this door!
Actually, not only this time, but also the previous chase on the luxury cruise s.h.i.+p…
At this moment, Shen Yuan moved the ruby ring to the keyhole and it was about to be put in. Xiao Tangqiu rushed to stop Shen Yuan’s movements, but Shen Yuan moved faster than him. As Shen Yuan put the ruby ring in, he raised his head and glanced at Xiao Tangqiu, and there seemed to be a flash of red light in his eyes.
Xiao Tangqiu’s heart shook. Just as he was about to grab Shen Yuan and question him, the bottom of the lake shook violently, and the s.h.i.+p vanished along with the door.
Then the lake furiously drained and all the lake water disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving only the remains of thousands of sunken s.h.i.+ps and the few of them at the bottom of the lake.
“What happened?” Tang Mianmian was taken aback, and quickly looked around, “Why has the water disappeared? What was behind the door just now?”
Xiao Tangqiu didn’t know either. Although he was the closest to Shen Yuan at the time, he only paid attention to Shen Yuan and didn’t notice what was behind the door. Then the door disappeared.
He stared at Shen Yuan, trying to uncover what was off about Shen Yuan. However, apart from the anomaly at that moment, Shen Yuan seemed to be back to normal again, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something.
So Xiao Tangqiu directly asked, “What are you thinking about?”
A trace of doubt flashed through Shen Yuan’s dark eyes, “Thinking?”
Xiao Tangqiu bit his lip, “What were you thinking just now? Why did you open the door without hesitation?”
A dazed look flashed in Shen Yuan’s eyes, “I… don’t know.”
Xiao Tangqiu’s heart was shaken. Was Shen Yuan being controlled by someone without knowing it? If even Shen Yuan didn’t realize it, who else could it be?!
At this moment, Tang Mianmian suddenly yelled, “f.u.c.k! f.u.c.k! This island… this island… it’s alive!”
Everyone was shocked and looked around. As expected, what was originally a huge sinkhole surrounded by steep and jagged mud and rock cliffs began to peel and crumble away as the ground shook. A huge biological skeleton was unveiled underneath it all.
At the same time, there was a deafening roar of some kind of giant creature ringing in their ears.
As the mud and rocks were shed off, the entire whale island gradually became a huge whale skeleton. But the giant whale skeleton seemed to be coming to life, constantly making deafening cries. As it came alive little by little, the remains of the sunken s.h.i.+p also fell to the bottom of the sea along with the mud and rocks. Xiao Tangqiu and the others were naturally no exception to this and also sank towards the depth of the sea.
Right as he hit the water, Xiao Tangqiu was caught by Shen Yuan, avoiding the pain of choking on water. He wanted to thank Shen Yuan right when he surfaced, but he suddenly remembered his doubts and subconsciously broke free from Shen Yuan’s grasp.
Shen Yuan took a deep look at Xiao Tangqiu, and there seemed to be some uncertainty and confusion in his eyes. But then he gripped Xiao Tangqiu’s wrist harder. Xiao Tangqiu hesitated but did not continue to try to get away.
Others also dropped into the sea like dumplings before, one by one, they resurfaced. Tang Mianmian raised his head and looked at the behemoth that was completely transformed in front of him, dumbfounded, “Holy s.h.i.+t… why is the whale so big?”
Xiao Tangqiu looked up to see that the giant whale in front of him could only be bigger than the previous whale island. Although whales were indeed the largest creatures in the ocean, he was sure that ordinary whales could never be this big… This was more like the size of some mythological sea monster!
This hair-raising physique, coupled with a completely skeletal body, was really chilling.
With the long cry of a giant whale, even the ocean from a hundred miles away seemed to vibrate with it.
At this moment, Shen Yuan opened his mouth and said, “The giant whale of the deep sea… It’s a direct creation of the Abyss Demon, Arch Demon Hugo Wells.”
Xiao Tangqiu was filled with anxiety, “Why didn’t you realize it from the beginning?” He felt that this whale island was full of something off-putting from the start, so why didn’t Shen Yuan notice it? Could it be that Shen Yuan had been controlled from the get-go?
Shen Yuan paused, then said coldly, “The deep-sea giant whale had fallen many years ago, and the body was sealed in a place no one knew…”
Xiao Tangqiu was taken aback. The giant deep-sea whale had already died a long time ago, so it wasn’t impossible for Shen Yuan to overlook it before. Just when he felt a little guilty, Shen Yuan continued to say, “But demons will never really die. As long as the Abyss Demon is willing, with a bit of the demon’s blood, they can be resurrected…”
Xiao Tangqiu’s heart trembled, “Demon’s blood? Can it be that ruby ring?!”
Shen Yuan remained silent. After a while, he said lightly, “…The blood of the demon is more precious than the demon’s heart. The heart of the demon can regenerate infinitely, but the blood is limited, and every drop of blood contains extremely strong power.”
Xiao Tangqiu smiled helplessly, “I can tell…”
A drop of demon’s blood could even resurrect the giant whale that had been dead for so many years that even the body had turned into an island. No wonder that monster octopus was so crazed…
Wait a minute, why did that kraken hunt them down? Wasn’t it for that drop of demon blood? But that drop of demon blood had been absorbed by the giant whale!
At this moment, Tang Mianmian suddenly cursed, “That big octopus is still in the belly of the giant whale!”
Everyone finally discovered that the gap in the skeleton of the giant whale was too large, so they and the s.h.i.+pwreck all fell through with the soil, but Optus was so huge that it was impossible to come out the same way. At this moment, it was firmly trapped in the giant skeletal whale.
The giant kraken struggled violently and began to attack the inside of the giant whale with its tentacles, while the giant whale rolled and twisted… They had started fighting!
Looking at the monsters battling it out from a distance, Xiao Tangqiu didn’t know if this was a good thing or a bad thing. But soon he discovered that it might not be “from a distance”…
With the battle between the giant whale and the huge kraken, two monster-level behemoths, the surrounding sea area was affected. Waves of squally winds and water crashed and immediately became another calamity.
Tsunami!
