Chapter 1709: Sea-Suppressing Ape

The three of them flew for four days and four nights, and only encountered three or four small islands along the way. 【Web】

And these islands were all occupied by other sea beasts, all of which had astonishingly powerful auras.

This level of aura, although not enough to make the three of them flee in panic, was clearly much stronger than that giant octopus. Even if the three of them worked together, they might not be able to easily take them down.

This made Liu Shui'er and Shi Kun secretly feel lucky.

Fortunately, they listened to Han Li's words; otherwise, if they had really rushed into the middle of two fierce beasts fighting, they might have lost their lives halfway.

But where could they find a stable place on land?

On the morning of the fifth day, a black line finally appeared on the sea surface in the distance, and they saw land.

The three of them couldn't help but reveal expressions of joy.

"Finally flew out of this strange sea." Shi Kun laughed and said.

"Brother Shi, you had better be careful. According to the experience of predecessors, the danger on land is far greater than in the sea. Once we reach land, it is best to restrain our auras even more, so as not to alarm any ancient fierce beasts." Liu Shui'er was also happy, but reminded him.

"Fairy Liu, rest assured, although Shi is fond of fighting, I still know my own weight." Shi Kun replied indifferently.

Hearing this, the cloaked woman felt slightly relieved.

Originally, with the other party's realm and experience, these words naturally didn't need her to mention anything. But Shi Kun was simply too fond of fighting, which was why she spoke up to advise him. 【1

Seeing this, a smile appeared at the corner of Han Li's mouth. Just as he opened his mouth to say something to the two, a fierce wind suddenly rose from the distant sea, and a white, hazy mist emerged upon the ocean, rapidly expanding outward.

"What is that?" Han Li was startled, and the words on the tip of his tongue involuntarily changed.

Liu Shui'er and her companion naturally saw this strange phenomenon as well and could not help but look at each other.

Without anyone saying a word, the three of them flashed their escape lights, stopped in their tracks while revealing their true forms, and simultaneously looked toward the distant seaside.

Almost at the same moment the three made this move, a cry echoed from the distant seaside. The white sea mist, which had transformed into several acres in size, churned, and the nearby sea surface surged with waves.

At the same time, a savage and brutal aura of shocking proportions surged into the sky from beneath the mist!

Subsequently, a giant beast, several times larger than the previous giant octopus, emerged from the sea. It was vaguely a furry, giant ape-like monster with a single horn on its head.

As soon as this monster flew out of the sea, it raised its head and let out a cry within the mist; the sound was unexpectedly and exceptionally harsh and shrill.

But when Han Li and the other two heard the cry, their expressions changed drastically. They hurriedly flashed their spiritual light, each manifesting a thick light barrier to protect themselves, and looked at each other with fear in their eyes.

It turned out that as soon as the shrill cry entered their ears, they both felt a buzzing in their ears, their eardrums felt an unusual stinging pain, and at the same time, their essence and blood churned, leaving their limbs unusually weak.

How could this not give them a fright?

But the three did not know that this was all just the beginning.

The next moment, the giant ape-like sea beast suddenly changed its shrill cry into a thunderous roar.

The roar was continuous, causing the nearby sky to buzz with chaos!

Under the roar, not only did the nearby sea mist rapidly dissipate and vanish, but even the nearby seawater, pulled by the sound waves, formed countless turbulent whirlpools of varying sizes.

Furthermore, countless various sea fish floated to the surface with their bellies up, having been forcibly shaken to death by the beast's roar.

For a time, the sea surface within a hundred miles was covered in white, strewn with the corpses of various sea fish.

At this moment, Han Li and the other two, who were also within the range of the roar's power, not only felt their protective barriers shake violently as if struck by a heavy blow, but their expressions also turned exceptionally ugly.

The jade face beneath Liu Shui'er's cloak was deathly pale, and her figure trembled slightly, as if she might fall from the sky at any moment.

And although Shi Kun's figure remained as steady as Mount Tai, his originally fierce face now had bulging veins, and his eyes were protruding, looking as if he were struggling for his life.

Han Li, however, appeared the most relaxed, his face only slightly pale.

But strangely, even though the roar exerted immense pressure on all three, they remained motionless in the air, unable to move as if their feet had taken root.

The roar emitted by the giant beast became increasingly astonishing. Even within the roar, a visible transparent wave suddenly erupted and rapidly dispersed in all directions.

After the nearby sea surface was swept by the transparent wave, it suddenly sank more than ten feet deep, forming a huge "water pit" on the vast ocean, and its edges were expanding outward at a terrifying speed.

Sea waves hundreds of feet high formed instantly, as if a great force were desperately pushing them from behind, rapidly rolling in all directions.

Even though Han Li and the others were still dozens of miles away, it appeared as if they would be affected in the very next moment.

At this, both Liu Shui'er and Shi Kun showed looks of great horror in their eyes, yet they remained stranded in the distance, unable to move a single inch.

Seeing that the transparent sound wave had flashed a few times and was now less than a mile away, Shi Kun opened his large mouth slightly, and some inexplicable hissing sounds came from his throat. His tall body also flashed with yellow light a few times, but in the end, he still could not move his body an inch.

Consequently, anxiety appeared on Shi Kun's face, and hot sweat rolled down his forehead.

Liu Shui'er's eyes also revealed fear, but she appeared equally helpless.

Watching as the transparent wave in the distance reached them in an instant, about to sweep them all up.

A golden light suddenly flashed on Han Li's face, followed by a cold snort.

This sound did not seem loud, but when it fell into the ears of Liu Shui'er and her companion, it caused them to shiver, followed by a flash of spiritual light on their bodies, and looks of wild joy appeared on their faces.

Shi Kun stomped his foot fiercely into the void below, transforming into a streak of yellow light that shot out behind him.

Liu Shui'er raised one hand to cast a spell, and her figure blurred slightly before suddenly disappearing from where she stood.

When she reappeared, she was already over a hundred feet away.

Just like that, flickering in and out of sight, the woman escaped over ten miles away, rushing ahead of Shi Kun.

As for Han Li, at the same time as the cold snort, he had long since transformed into a golden streak of light and broken through the air.

When the three had escaped thirty or forty miles in one breath, they finally converged their light, stopped their escape, and looked back.

They saw that the rolling transparent sound wave, seven or eight miles behind them, had finally exhausted its power and dissipated.

The three did not know that at the very moment they regained their mobility and fled, the two lantern-sized eyes of the giant ape-like sea beast in the distance flashed with a hint of ferocity. Its head turned slightly, glancing in the direction they had fled, before it turned back to look at the shore as if nothing had happened, its earth-shaking roar continuing unabated.

"What kind of sea beast is this? How does it possess such great divine ability that a mere roar could simultaneously restrict our physical bodies and the magic power within us? Could it be the legendary Mountain-Moving Giant Ape?" Shi Kun exhaled a long breath, looking toward the giant beast in the distance, still feeling a lingering fear.

"It cannot be a Mountain-Moving Giant Ape. If it truly were this True Spirit, we would not have been able to persist until now; we would have perished at its very first roar. Even if it is not a True Spirit-level existence, it is definitely not something we can provoke in the slightest. I feel it is somewhat like the fierce beast 'Sea-Suppressing Ape' from ancient legends." Liu Shui'er seemed to have regained her composure and said without hesitation.

"Sea-Suppressing Ape! That is the fierce ape from legends that can tear apart flood dragons and swallow Saint-tier existences alive!" Shi Kun gasped upon hearing this.

"It should be this beast, no doubt. After all, the Sea-Suppressing Ape's Heavenly Roar divine ability was famous even in ancient times. And the fact that we were able to escape with our lives is likely because this beast's attack was not aimed at us; we were just innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire." Liu Shui'er said with a bitter smile.

"If that is truly the case, then our escape can be considered extremely fortunate. However, if it weren't for Brother Han suddenly casting a spell to save us, Fellow Daoist Liu and I would still have been doomed." Shi Kun pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at Han Li with a strange expression.

"Indeed. I truly did not expect Brother Han to possess such divine ability, to be able to break the Sea-Suppressing Ape's Heavenly Roar secret technique." Liu Shui'er also turned her gaze, asking in a strange tone.

"It is nothing. I just happened to have practiced a type of spiritual secret technique years ago that could slightly resist this beast's roar. It is also because we were far enough away and only slightly affected. Otherwise, I would have been unable to save myself." Han Li replied indifferently.

Hearing Han Li's words, Liu Shui'er and her companion could not help but look at each other, clearly appearing skeptical.

"Regardless, Brother Han has saved Little Sister and Brother Shi once. This favor can only be repaid in the future." Liu Shui'er pondered for a moment before smiling charmingly.

"Correct. This favor, I, Shi, also accept. I will definitely save you once in the future." Shi Kun also said with a chuckle.

"Why must you two fellow Daoists mind this matter? This Guanghan World is filled with dangers, and who knows how many ancient fierce beasts like the Sea-Suppressing Ape exist. Perhaps the next time, it will be I who needs the help of you two fellow Daoists." Han Li replied with a faint smile upon hearing their words.

"Fellow Daoist Han, you..." Liu Shui'er chuckled, wanting to say something more.

But at this moment, suddenly, within the faint roar coming from the distance, another strange, long cry emerged, but it was extremely melodious, like the sound of nature.

This startled Han Li and the other two, causing them to immediately stop talking and look toward the extreme distance once more.

At such a long distance, even though the white mist had been shaken away, the three could only see a rough outline.

It seemed that a large purple bird had flown from the coast opposite the Sea-Suppressing Ape, its mouth chirping incessantly.

Although it was too far to see clearly, its size did not seem any smaller than the giant ape.

Moreover, facing the Sea-Suppressing Ape's rolling roar, the bird's figure was completely unaffected as it dove straight toward it.
