Chapter 245: Self-Destruction Under the Sea (II)
Manipulating the weak currents, the Thunder Beast carefully gathered the life crystal shards into its huge claw, then turned and swam out excitedly.
As soon as it emerged from the hole, the Kun eagerly approached.
Squeak, squeak, squeak! Thunder Fiery, I smell something good.
Roar! This is a good find.
The Thunder Beast spread out its huge right claw, revealing a handful of green crystal shards. While they were barely visible on its huge claws, the amount was the human equivalent of four handfuls. It segmented the shards into three portions with a finger.
Roar! One portion for each beast. After eating, let\'s get to work.
This time, they weren\'t just harvesting resources they had found in the past. The Kun had found something new, and they were collecting these resources as they headed over.
As the three colossal beasts each swallowed their portion of the crystal shards, which weren’t even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth, a majestic surge of life energy spread throughout the Thunder Beast\'s body.
Crack! Crack!
The Thunder Beast’s somewhat malnourished body began to swell. Its muscles grew, becoming even more powerful, and its scales expanded. The red feathered horns on each side of its head were bristling with spikes, and a crown of fire formed on its head under the flickering flames. It had never looked more noble and majestic.
Not only did the green crystal shards replenish its energy and restore it to a healthy size, they also increased its evolution points by more than a hundred.
Feeling the immense power coursing through its body, the Thunder Beast let out an excited roar. Roar! Charge! Let\'s seize more good stuff, I want to eat more.
The Dragon Turtle, whose size had also increased, roared excitedly.
Roar, roar! Kill them all, grab everything, I\'ll lead the charge later!
Squeak, squeak, squeak! I\'m going to take down ten enemies this time!
The two colossal beasts, whose size had swelled up, were pumped and ready to go... only for the Thunder Beast to suddenly turn around and use its claws to push the rocks back into the hole, sealing it shut once again.
As they watched the Thunder Beast work, the Dragon Turtle and the Kun looked at each other in confusion.
Weren\'t we supposed to charge?
Once the hole was filled, the three colossal beasts departed, and the pitch-black seabed returned to its silent state.
The new resources the Kun had discovered were far away, about fifteen hundred kilometers from the deserted island, deeper into the open sea.
By the time the three colossal beasts approached their destination, it was already late into the night. Five thousand meters below the surface, in the depths of the boundless ocean, the three colossal beasts, though each nearly fifty meters in length, seemed insignificant.
Ahead of them was an underwater mountain range with sharp reefs that were hundreds of meters tall and stretched for dozens of kilometers, resembling a stone forest.
Purple corals grew sparsely on the rocks, emitting a faint glow. As they swayed with the ocean currents, they would release a purple substance that contained pure waves of transcendent energy, attracting many marine creatures to forage. Some three- to four-meter-long squids were especially attracted to these purple particles. They swam in groups among the rocky forest, filtering and consuming the purple substance while also preying on smaller fish.
At the edge of the reef, the Kun emitted a low squeak.
Squeak, squeak, squeak! They are in there, many of them, guarding something valuable in the middle.
Many?
The Thunder Beast looked at the purple reefs, pondering slightly. Roar! Baxia, lead the way and lure them out.
Roar, roar! Watch me, here I go.
The Dragon Turtle, who could no longer contain its excitement, let out a roar and charged forward. A yellow light shone from its body, emitting an aura that felt as heavy as the mountains.
In this state, the Dragon Turtle was connected to the earth. Every step it took on the seabed sent vibrations through the ground, causing the seabed to crack and stirring up raging torrents.
Boom!
The Dragon Turtle shattered a reef several dozen meters high, causing the marine creatures lurking around it to scatter in fear from its violent aura.
Boom boom boom!
The Dragon Turtle continued charging forward, smashing through dozens to hundreds of meters of reefs and quickly attracting the attention of the creatures inside.
Choo! Choo!
Accompanied by a sound similar to a steam whistle, a group of mutated creatures between seven to over twenty meters long rushed out from deep within the rocky forest.
These mutated creatures looked eerie and emitted a sharp aura. Their figures resembled a swordfish, covered in blue scales, with sharp bone spurs protruding from their snout. Instead of fins, sharp bone plates protruded on their backs and sides, giving them three rows of sharp blades. As they moved, they sliced through the water with astonishing speed.
The most dangerous thing was, they came in large numbers. There were thousands of these fish. It was the first time the Thunder Beast had encountered such a large group of mutated creatures.
Soon, a ten-meter-long level 3 Ancient Swordfish rushed forward, colliding with the Dragon Turtle and causing a powerful explosion to erupt.
Boom!
The sudden explosion of blue light unleashed incredible power, creating a vacuum shockwave that swept across a range of dozens of meters.
The Bone Swordfish’s sudden self-detonation left the Dragon Turtle bewildered, not fully comprehending what had just happened. At that moment, a dozen or so level 3 swordfish also collided with it.
Boom boom boom!
The explosion effect from the mutated creatures seemed to be enhanced when detonating as a group. Under the pressure of the blue shockwaves, the yellow energy shield protecting the Dragon Turtle\'s body wavered violently, showing signs of instability.
Pew!
At that moment, a twenty-nine-meter-long swordfish shot out of nowhere at supersonic speed. Underwater, it just looked like a blue beam of light.
Thud!
A five meter bone spur covered in blue energy pierced through the trembling yellow energy shield, hitting the Dragon Turtle\'s sharp and sturdy shell with a loud thud.
Crack!
The forceful impact caused the bone spur to snap abruptly. However, at the same time, the Dragon Turtle’s durable shell was also pierced through about ten centimeters.
This shocked the Dragon Turtle. Its earth power defense was supposed to be impenetrable to even level 8 colossal beasts. But today, a level 6 mutated creature pierced through. Even though it had only penetrated its protective energy and a bit of its shell, the attack still got through its defense.
Despite the huge difference in levels between the two sides, these astonishing attacks were enough to demonstrate how lethal these Ancient Swordfish could be.
In the distance, the Thunder Beast narrowed its eyes as it observed the scene.
It noticed how powerful the swordfish’s self-detonation ability was, and they seemed to be able to stack their power when detonating in a group. Their energy could also corrode or neutralize the protective energy of other mutated creatures. With abilities like this, combined with the high-speed charge of a high-level Ancient Swordfish, they possessed incredible penetration strength, even piercing through the scales of creatures that were a level above them.
Although the Dragon Turtle\'s shell was only penetrated by about ten centimeters, it was renowned for its defense, truly showcasing the opponents’ power. If it had been an ordinary level 7 mutated creature, it would have been injured by that blow, and if dozens of these level 6 swordfish continued to charge and explode collectively, they could even kill ordinary level 7 creatures.
Roar!
Suddenly, from deep within the reef, two colossal figures slowly emerged.
One was over fifty meters tall, while the other reached an intimidating height of over sixty meters. They exuded a formidable aura of late stage level 7 and beginning stage level 8 strength.
These two mutated beasts were covered in thick blue scales, resembling rampage apes. They possessed massive claws, similar to the Long-haired Rampage Ape that Chen Chu had killed in the past.
However, the difference was that these two mutated creatures appeared underwater.
Upon seeing the Deep Sea Apes, the Thunder Beast couldn\'t hide its astonishment. What\'s going on? Have the monkeys evolved into an aquatic form? And they\'ve even grown to the level 8.
However, compared to the Thunder Beast and Kun, these apes moved at a slower speed. The sea seemed to have some effect on them, being mutated creatures originally from dry land.
