Chapter 419: 397 The Mysterious Creature in the Abyss_1
The Disorderly Storm was originally a group-based restriction soul skill, but when Chu Qin deployed it in combination with the Sea Control Technique, the resulting effect was akin to the formidable power of the Sea-calming Divine Needle!
Just as Chu Qin unleashed his ultimate output with the golden trident’s Sea God’s power, the turbulent waters surrounding him calmed down.
At the same time, three tornadoes were forced to freeze in place. Following this, the golden trident in Chu Qin’s hand flew out, piercing through each of the whirlwinds and shattering them!
And just when the tornadoes were destroyed, Xiaowu and the others’ warship landed safely upon the tranquil sea surface.
Seeing this, Chu Qin turned and landed on the deck of the Golden Battleship in a flash.
What followed was a robust round of cheers and accolades, as thunderous as thunder itself, erupting from the people aboard the warship!
Just moments ago, those on the warship, having witnessed such fierce hurricanes, had prepared themselves for the possibility of the ship being destroyed and sinking. To their astonishment, Chu Qin had grown so powerful that he could manipulate nature itself!
"Chu Qin, you’re amazing!" Qian Renxue was the first to rush over, lavishing praise with great admiration.
"Yes," Chu Qin was about to speak when the Deepsea Devil Whale King added, "On the seas, apart from the Sea God, there are barely any who can withstand such mighty force!"
Longhuang and the others also unanimously nodded in agreement.
Chu Qin simply responded with a light smile.
"Eh, Chu Qin, where’s my mother!" asked Bai Xiuxiu.
Chu Qin was slightly startled, hurriedly looking towards the front. He saw that the tsunami had subsided, but Bai Yingying was nowhere to be seen!
On the verge of activating the Eyes of the Illusion God, Chu Qin witnessed a gorgeous figure leap from beneath the sea surface and land on the deck of the Golden Battleship.
The person was indeed Bai Yingying. However, it was evident that she was injured, with what seemed to be a slash across her chest from some sharp weapon!
"Mom!"
"Aunt Ying Ying, what happened to you!" Both Bai Xiuxiu and Chu Qin were taken aback and quickly went over to inquire.
"It’s...," Bai Yingying looked incredibly weak. Before she could finish her sentence, she fainted.
"Xiao Jiu, Bi Ji, quick!" Chu Qin then turned to the Nine Demoness, beckoning them.
On hearing Chu Qin’s call, the Nine Demoness and Bi Ji immediately activated their healing powers, infusing Bai Yingying with their restorative energy.
However, even under the healing hands of the two Beast Kings, Bai Yingying’s wound healed, but she remained unconscious.
"Chu Qin, Xiu Xiu’s mother’s injuries have healed!" Bi Ji reported back, "But it seems her Soul Power has been drained, leaving her body too weak to wake up."
"Drained?" Chu Qin exclaimed in surprise. He had only been separated from Bai Yingying for a short time; what exactly had happened just now?
What was strange was that Chu Qin’s Eyes of the Illusion God showed no activity.
With that in mind, Chu Qin said to the others, "I’m going to check the seabed. You all stay on the ship and don’t move!"
"I’ll go as well!" The Deepsea Devil Whale King spoke.
"Good, Devil Whale King, come with me!" Chu Qin nodded.
Following that, Chu Qin and the Devil Whale King plunged towards the seabed.
As Chu Qin had sensed, the Extremely Evil Abyss was incredibly deep. Chu Qin and the Deepsea Devil Whale King dived continuously, reaching a depth of ten thousand meters without finding the bottom.
What was more peculiar was that even at ten thousand meters below the sea, Chu Qin’s Eyes of the Illusion God still could not sense the ocean floor!
That meant the sea was at least twenty thousand meters deep!
Unwilling to give up, Chu Qin dived even further, reaching a depth of twenty thousand meters.
Due to the immense pressure, the descent of Chu Qin and the Deepsea Devil Whale King had slowed, yet there was still no sign of the seabed!
At the same time, there was no sunlight around them anymore.
Along the way, they found no trace of any powerful soul beasts!
"Could it be that this is a bottomless pit?" Chu Qin stopped descending and paused here.
"Master, the air pressure here is already very strong, to the point that I almost feel chest tightness. It seems that this area of the ocean is not so simple. Should we continue to dive down?" the Deepsea Devil Whale King asked.
Chu Qin pondered for a moment and then shook his head, "Forget it, going further down might be dangerous. We’d better hurry back to land and get through this Extremely Evil Abyss as quickly as possible!"
"Yes!" The Deepsea Devil Whale King nodded.
Soon, Chu Qin and the Deepsea Devil Whale King started to return toward the ground.
But just as they were retracing their path, a pair of eerie, dead fish eyes quietly opened in the depths of the abyss, and then quickly buried themselves even deeper into the sea bottom.
Half a Shi Chen later, Chu Qin and the Devil Whale King had safely returned to the deck.
"How did it go, Chu Qin?" Longhuang asked anxiously upon seeing Chu Qin.
"Chu Qin and I didn’t find any trace of soul beasts or humans," the Deepsea Devil Whale King spoke up first.
Chu Qin nodded and asked, "Has Aunt Ying Ying woken up?"
The ladies shook their heads, and Zi Ji said, "Xiu Xiu is holding her in the cabin!"
Chu Qin let out a slight sigh of relief, "Longhuang, Jing’er, order the fleet to move ahead at full speed. This place is not one to linger in! Furthermore, Devil Whale King, you take the lead. If you encounter something you can’t handle, let me know. Longhuang, Jing’er, have the people from the Holy Spirit Cult responsible for monitoring the seabed for twelve Shi Chens!"
"Okay!" The Devil Whale King and the others nodded.
"I’ll go see how Xiu Xiu and the others are doing!"
With that, Chu Qin walked out of the auxiliary cabin.
"Chu Qin, did you catch the culprit?" Bai Xiuxiu asked urgently as soon as she saw Chu Qin. It was evident that on Bai Xiuxiu’s exceptionally beautiful eyes, one could already see crystal tears.
"Sorry, Xiu Xiu, we didn’t catch them," Chu Qin shook his head, expressing some regret, "I failed to protect Aunt Ying Ying!"
"It’s not your fault!"
Upon hearing Chu Qin’s self-reproaching words, Bai Xiuxiu hurriedly wiped away her tears and replied.
"If it’s not my fault, then whose is it?" Chu Qin asked with a deliberate smile.
"It’s my mom’s fault!" Bai Xiuxiu replied, "She promised she would protect you, but she got injured because she wasn’t capable enough, and she even made you and me worry. If it’s not her fault, whose is it?"
"You little thing, I’ve taken care of you in vain all these years!" Before Chu Qin could respond, Bai Yingying on the bed had already woken up and spoke weakly, yet without the heart to blame.
"Mom, you’re awake!" Bai Xiuxiu exclaimed happily upon hearing her.
"If I didn’t wake up now, you would have scolded me to death!" Bai Yingying smiled and shook her head. Then she looked at Chu Qin and said, "I’m sorry, Chu Qin! I promised to be your guardian Divine Beast, but I ended up making you worry about me!"
"Aunt Ying Ying, don’t say that!" Chu Qin replied, "It’s good that you could wake up."
"Aunt Ying Ying, what exactly happened just now?" Chu Qin asked, "Surely, the injuries weren’t caused by that group of Single-horned Tiger Sharks, were they?"
Bai Yingying shook her head, "Not them. They are no match for me! After I defeated the Single-horned Tiger Sharks, suddenly a black shadow burst out from the depths of the sea. It bound me with chains and drained almost all of my Soul Power. I used my last bit of Soul Power to escape to the surface, and in the process of fleeing, I was inadvertently injured by it!"
"Mom, what did that monster look like?" Bai Xiuxiu asked.
Bai Yingying shook her head, "It was too fast! I have never seen a creature move so swiftly in the sea! And the chains in its hands, they were very strange!"
"Such a powerful monster, where did it come from!" Bai Xiuxiu said, confused.
