Chapter 834

~11 min read 2,002 words

The red sea, boundless, frozen, also meant the seawater didn't have any great ripples.

It just floated in the starry sky like this, floating in the gaps of the spider web.

And if everything here were shrunk, one could find that this red sea was like a drop of blood falling on the spider web.

At this moment, on this sea like blood, those huge ten-thousand-foot shells, a full several hundred, were far apart from each other, opening one after another, closing one after another.

And every time they opened and closed, the giant eagle body revealed inside would also poke out.

The eagles in these shells had red hair, eyes closed, as if sleeping, and their whole bodies emitted a strange aura, making people feel uneasy in the depths of their souls when seeing it from afar.

Like gods being nurtured.

Looking at all this from afar, Xu Qing's understanding of the Divine Domain increased a bit more.

These days, he and the Captain shuttled through this Divine Domain, what he saw and felt, much of it exceeded the scope of cognition. Most things here did not conform to basic logic.

Whether it was the big fish with tentacles hanging in mid-air wandering in the void, or the Eye of Destruction that opened when the stars trembled, or those spiders that ignored magic techniques.

All of them were full of strangeness.

"See it, Little Ah Qing, these shells are good things!"

The Captain stood by Xu Qing's side, gazing at those shells, his eyes glowing, and spoke excitedly.

"Look carefully, there are actually meat balls inside those shells. Let me tell you, inside these meat balls, divine beads grow!"

"This kind of bead is useless to others, but for us, this thing can become an important cornerstone to support this big thing later!"

"Besides, you also know that I am a kind person and hate seeing others in any pain. Look at how painful these shells seem every time they merge; it's clearly because they are being poked by those beads!"

The Captain licked his lips, staring at those beads, and spoke to Xu Qing.

"Sigh, let's do a good deed, go help them, take these beads down, and make them feel more comfortable."

Xu Qing was silent, looking at those shells, and then looked at this red sea, sensing the terrifying meaning emitted from inside, and a sense of life-and-death crisis rose in his heart.

He knew clearly that this blood-colored sea must hide fatal dangers.

As for the Captain's words, he directly ignored them. Upholding the idea of absolutely not participating, Xu Qing's body flickered, and he was about to retreat and leave.

Seeing Xu Qing about to leave, the Captain became anxious and spoke quickly.

"Little Junior Brother, don't go. I have a way to safely obtain the beads. Look, I'm already prepared."

As he spoke, the Captain quickly took out a rope.

"I'll tie one end of this rope to myself, and you hold the other end. Then you find an open shell and throw me in. When I dig the beads inside, I'll give you a signal, and then you pull me out."

"With my speed, plus your help, it's foolproof!"

Xu Qing hesitated, looked at the rope, and found it somewhat familiar.

That was a leather rope, and after looking carefully at the patterns on it, Xu Qing sighed in his heart and recognized it.

"Recognized it? Haha, Little Junior Brother, you see my efforts, help me."

The Captain said with a smile.

This was the Captain's skin.

Just like back in the Sacrifice Moon Domain, it was clear the Captain had peeled off his own skin again and made it into a rope.

The degree of dedication made it really hard for Xu Qing to refuse, so he looked at the Captain meaningfully and nodded.

Seeing Xu Qing agree, the Captain was encouraged, so he went up to discuss the details with Xu Qing. Xu Qing also thought very comprehensively and revised the subsequent plan, only then biting his teeth hard, carrying the rope and the Captain, and whistling away from mid-air.

Appearing on that blood-colored sea.

Soon, he found a shell that had just opened. Almost the moment the giant eagle inside poked its body, the Captain put on special gloves and roared low.

"That's the one!"

Xu Qing didn't hesitate, throwing the rope in his hand hard.

Immediately, the Captain tied to the other end exploded in speed, his whole person turning into a blue long rainbow, breaking through the void with incomparable speed, and directly following the opening of the shell, rushed in.

Perhaps the Captain's preparation was indeed sufficient this time, or perhaps the concealment of the Wordless Heavenly Book was amazing, so the Captain, who flew past the giant eagle like a mosquito, did not attract the giant eagle's attention.

He successfully entered the shell, and when he landed on the meat inside, blue light shone in the Captain's eyes. Without the slightest hesitation, his gloved hand wiped on the shell meat.

This glove was strange. Touching the meat inside the shell, the meat actually squirmed and scattered on its own, revealing the beads inside.

The Captain was excited, grabbed the bead that was about the same size as his body, and his body retreated fiercely.

Xu Qing also pulled the rope in his hand with all his strength at this time. With his help, the Captain's speed was even faster, and he rushed out of the shell in an instant.

Returning to Xu Qing's side, the Captain laughed.

"How about that, Little Ah Qing, I said it was foolproof."

Xu Qing was suspicious. Looking at this matter, it seemed indeed as the Captain said, there was no danger, but his habitual caution still made Xu Qing vigilant.

The Captain shook his head, feeling very emotional.

"You have to believe me, Little Junior Brother, come, let's continue."

As he spoke, the Captain pointed to another shell not far away that was about to open.

Just like this, with Xu Qing's assistance, time passed. After a stick of incense, the number of beads the Captain took out had reached more than ten.

Every time it was a success, there was no failure, and there was even one time the Captain took two beads in one shell, and also returned safely.

"I'm a bit tired, Little Ah Qing, come come come, you try it."

Xu Qing refused.

The Captain raised his eyebrows.

"Little Ah Qing, you are too useless now, why is your courage getting smaller and smaller? Forget it, forget it, I'll do it. The number of beads we need is one hundred."

The Captain lifted his chin, somewhat disdainful, signaling Xu Qing to throw him out.

Xu Qing didn't pay attention to the Captain's words. He had made up his mind that he would absolutely not participate deeply this time, so just like before, he threw the Captain out.

But this time... although the accident was late, it still came.

The Captain's figure, the moment he entered the shell, before he could dig the beads, the giant eagle that originally ignored him suddenly opened its eyes, and its sharp mouth bit directly towards the rope.

With a "crack," the rope broke.

The Captain was startled, his face changed, and just as he was about to retreat, it was too late. The shell merged directly in this instant.

With a "bang," it was seamless.

The sea was still quiet, there were no ripples around, only Xu Qing stood in mid-air, looking at all this, sighing in his heart. He knew it would be like this.

So his gaze fell on the merged shell, and then looked at the shells the Captain had gone to before. None of them opened again.

Clearly, the frequency of these shells opening still had some time interval.

"Can't wait."

Xu Qing took a deep breath, the Fourth Divine State exploded immediately, and while soul silk filled his whole body, the Nine-Li Nine Heads also circled around. Even more, to prevent accidents, his Fifth Witch Vault rumbled, and the shadow of the half-ancestral witch inside directly descended on this red sea.

The moment it appeared, the red sea trembled, all the shells were shaking, and a divine majesty from all directions immediately shrouded over. A strong sense of crisis erupted instantly.

Xu Qing's heart was shaken. At this moment, he didn't have the mood to think too much. Gathering all his strength, he raised his hands towards the shell that swallowed the Captain and tore from the air.

The shell rumbled, and under Xu Qing's all-out effort, a gap was finally opened.

Although it was a gap, it could also be passed through.

"Eldest Senior Brother!"

Xu Qing roared, and a figure whistled from the shell, rushing out along the gap.

Xu Qing also couldn't persist for too long and retreated fiercely.

The shell closed again with a "bang," and Xu Qing also quickly put away all his aura, which made the divine majesty shrouded from all directions dissipate somewhat.

As for the Captain, he was extremely miserable at this moment.

His whole body was wet, and his skin was corroded in large areas, deep to the bone. His face was also like this, as if if Xu Qing had opened the shell a little later, he would have been melted and absorbed.

Especially outside his body, there was an extra layer of shell like a pearl...

Xu Qing's gaze fell on the Captain, and he didn't speak.

"Cough cough, Little Junior Brother, this matter is not an accident, it's normal!"

The Captain felt embarrassed in his heart, but he would never admit it in his mouth.

"I did it on purpose. Look at these on my body, they are also part of the divine beads, they can be used after taking them down."

"Oh." Xu Qing nodded. Seeing the Eldest Senior Brother so miserable, he didn't expose him.

However, his gaze still made the Captain feel that it damaged his majesty as the Eldest Senior Brother, so he put all his anger on the shell. At this moment, he turned his head and stared at the shell that bit him, madness appearing in his eyes.

"Little Junior Brother, lend me your Sun of Dawn!"

Xu Qing was startled and was about to refuse, but the Captain blinked and spoke quickly.

"Don't worry, I don't want to blow up this place. There is a treasure of mine in that ancient sun. I am preparing to take it out. You just give it to me."

Xu Qing sighed. Although he didn't believe it, since the Eldest Senior Brother spoke, he still gave the Sun of Dawn over. However, after giving it, his body flickered and arrived a thousand feet away in an instant.

Seeming to feel it was still not safe, he flashed again and appeared three thousand feet away.

Looking at Xu Qing's rapidly departing figure, the Captain was somewhat dissatisfied.

"Where is the trust between people!"

The Captain snorted, but after picking up the Sun of Dawn, all his emotions turned into madness.

It was indeed as Xu Qing expected. He didn't want to take anything. There was nothing he left in the Sun of Dawn at all.

At this moment, he stared fixedly at that shell, his right hand squeezed fiercely, actually activating the Sun of Dawn directly!

In an instant, the intense high temperature rose from the Sun of Dawn, and the terrifying aura and violent fluctuations directly shrouded the entire red sea.

Even the surrounding void appeared distorted. The heat from the Sun of Dawn seemed to be able to boil everything.

"Damn it, usually it's me biting others. It's the first time I've encountered someone who dares to bite me. I'll boil you all and eat you!"

The Captain's voice, carrying madness, echoed in all directions.

In the distance, Xu Qing had a dark face and turned to escape even further...
