Chapter 560: Hunting Sea Beasts! (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Under the afterglow of the golden sunset, their green bodies were suffused with a golden color, giving them a different kind of beauty. There were even a few swordfish that collided with the ship’s defense and bounced back into the sea.
Looking at the swordfish that had collided with the protective barrier, Xiao Shi could clearly observe them at such a close distance. These swordfish had sharp teeth and looked very ferocious. Their eyes were red and murderous.
Xiao Shi could tell that these swordfish were only comparable to the Blood Martial Realm. This was probably the reason why they dared to jump out of the sea in front of him. If Xiao Shi’s ship was a Martial Demon Realm ship, these swordfish would definitely not dare to jump from the bottom of the sea so boldly and arrogantly.
Xiao Shi did not do anything. However, the demon avatar that stood behind him like a guard instantly turned into a black shadow and rushed out. While these swordfish were still floating in the air, this black shadow had already flashed past them.
It instantly turned these swordfish into fish bones. There was no flesh or blood left on its body. There was only a skeleton left.
Swoosh!
The demon avatar returned behind Xiao Shi. His eyes were filled with excitement as he licked his lips. A few items fell in front of Xiao Shi. Xiao Shi casually picked up these items and placed them in the storage area of the Ancient Cang’e Tree.
The demon avatar’s attack confirmed his previous guess. That was, the kills caused by the demon avatar would drop items like him. However, with Xiao Shi’s current control over the demon avatar, he would let the demon avatar give him all the items that dropped after killing it. Without his permission, he could not hide it.
This way, he did not have to worry that the demon avatar would constantly become stronger by killing the items that dropped and obtain strength that exceeded the main body. No matter what, Xiao Shi would not let his demon avatar’s strength surpass his. Even if he could completely control his demon avatar, he had to avoid such a situation.
“You have half a day.” Xiao Shi said calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the demon avatar behind him could not wait to rush into the sea. Not long after, the entire calm sea surface stirred up waves, and ripples spread continuously on the sea.
Xiao Shi closed his eyes slightly. He waited quietly.
Late at night, the demon avatar suddenly rushed out of the sea. Xiao Shi opened his eyes. There was an incomparably huge bloody hole in the demon avatar’s chest. The flesh, blood, and organs inside were healing at a visible speed. In just a few seconds, it had already recovered by more than half.
The demon avatar did not seem to feel any pain. His eyes were filled with excitement and satisfaction. Clearly, the half a day of killing had made him extremely happy.
The body of a demon avatar was the body of the Evil. The greatest characteristic of this body was its powerful recovery ability. In addition, after breaking through to the Martial Demon Realm, it was difficult to kill them. In the same realm, it was very difficult for anyone to kill a demon avatar.
The reason why the demon avatar was injured this time was because he was dealing with three Martial Demon-level sea beasts at the same time. As he killed the three Martial Demon Realm sea beasts, he was also injured.
However, such an injury was almost not considered an injury to him. In a short moment, he had almost recovered.
Xiao Shi checked the gains of the demon avatar for half a day. In half a day, the demon avatar killed a total of four sea beasts at the Martial Demon Realm. There were many sea beasts in the other realms. The total number of kills reached nearly 100,000.
But Xiao Shi was a little dissatisfied regarding this number of kills. “That’s too little.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the demon avatar could not help but frown. Although he was completely under Xiao Shi’s control now and was absolutely obedient to Xiao Shi, Xiao Shi’s words still made him a little unconvinced. He felt that not many people at the same level could kill so many sea beasts in half a day.
Xiao Shi glanced at him. He could clearly sense the dissatisfaction in his heart. “The rest of the day is mine. Stay here and watch.” After Xiao Shi finished speaking, his figure flashed. It turned into a blood beam and flew up. In an instant, it disappeared from the demon avatar’s sight.
Xiao Shi was not in a hurry to enter the sea. Instead, he shuttled through the air at an astonishing speed. He needed to head to the next location. After all, most of the sea beasts under the sea had been killed by the demon avatar.
The reason why he did not use a ship to travel was because the ship was too slow. It was far slower than Xiao Shi flying himself. In an instant, Xiao Shi ran quickly and arrived at another sea area that was far away.
“This is it.” Xiao Shi’s eyes flashed. Plop, he fell into the sea. As soon as he entered the sea, Xiao Shi felt a powerful pressure. This pressure was far from what ordinary seawater could compare to.
At Xiao Shi’s current cultivation realm, he could long ignore the pressure of ordinary seawater. However, the seawater here was so heavy that even with his cultivation at the Martial Demon Realm, he could not avoid it.
It was as if this was a powerful pressure that ignored cultivation. It was not only used on the body. The pressure on the soul was even stronger!
Xiao Shi thought that if a martial artist at the Life Spirit Stage used his Life Spirit here, the entire Life Spirit would probably be suppressed to the point of being unable to move. And the deeper he went into the sea, the greater the pressure.
Other than that, Xiao Shi’s various abilities were all suppressed. The most obvious was that his recovery ability was greatly reduced. Otherwise, with the demon avatar’s healing ability, its injuries would have completely recovered without needing to surface.
However, the demon avatar’s injuries only completely healed after he surfaced. When he was underwater, his entire healing ability was greatly suppressed.
He had already gained some understanding of the situation at the bottom of the sea before Xiao Shi entered the sea. Previously, he had let his demon avatar enter the sea to hunt because he had the intention of letting his demon avatar go down to investigate first.
With his stability, it was naturally impossible for him to enter the bottom of the sea to hunt as soon as he arrived. He definitely had to use his demon avatar to gain a certain understanding of the situation in the sea before entering the sea to hunt.
“My various abilities will be weakened by about 10% here. If I continue to dive deeper, 1 will be weakened by about 20 to 30%.” Xiao Shi made a judgment. He had already entered the Dark Moon State. As he dived, he killed all the sea beasts he saw. This time, he was not only going to kill the Martial Demon Realm sea beasts. The sea beasts of the other realms also needed to be killed. Only then could he gather enough treasures.
This was also the best way to lure out other Martial Demon Realm sea beasts. Although there were countless sea beasts in the entire sea, there were still relatively few Martial Demon Realm sea beasts. It was not so easy to find.
The best way to find Martial Demon Realm sea beasts as quickly as possible was to kill the same race as these Martial Demon Realm sea beasts. When he had killed too many, these Martial Demon Realm sea beasts would appear.
Swoosh!
Xiao Shi sank into the sea at an astonishing speed. Even though his speed had been weakened in the sea, it was still not something that could be captured by the naked eye. Wherever he passed, all the sea beasts turned into corpses.
Many roots spread out from Xiao Shi’s body. These roots quickly wrapped around the items dropped after killing him and quickly retracted, putting these items into the storage space of the Ancient Cang’e Tree.
Under Xiao Shi’s rapid descent, he entered a dark underwater area..
