Chapter 90: Seven swords revived, Qilin descended; dimensions in the ocean

~7 min read 1,358 words

Seven divine swords erupted with brilliant light pillars at the same time, shooting straight into the sky.

The light pillars traversed the sky and the earth, and everyone around could see this shocking scene; there seemed to be induction between the light pillars, pulling each other, wanting to get close, but ultimately failed to gather because the distance was too far.

After lasting for a while, the light pillars gradually dissipated, but the Qi between heaven and earth vibrated for a long time because of this.

At the same time, deep in a forest in southwest Da Xia, space suddenly distorted, and a dimensional hole cracked silently.

"Tap"

A hoof as red as fire stepped out of the void, and a circle of light golden ripples swayed under its feet. It was a creature as red as fire, shaped like a calf, with eyes as clear as amber, a pair of crystal-clear horns on its head, and surrounded by warm life and peaceful breath.

It looked around a little confused, sniffing the strange air with its nose. With its steps, the damaged grass and trees under its feet regained their vitality. Every step it took, there was lush vitality blooming under its feet.

Suddenly, it seemed to feel something, looked up into the distance, and felt a familiar and intimate breath.

Seven swords revived, Qilin descended.

But it seems that it is not just the Qilin that descended.

Bibowan, near-shore waters.

The originally calm sea suddenly had waves without wind, and the dark blue seawater began to surge strangely, forming circles of irregular vortices. Deep in the seabed, a huge shadow slowly floated up, stirring hundreds of meters of seawater.

"Splash—"

The sound of breaking water exploded, and a huge figure rose from the sea. The cyan-gray skin was covered with seawater, shining with wet and cold luster in the sunlight. It had a human-like torso, but was covered with fish-scale-like stratum corneum, and the muscles were knotted like rocks.

The head was shaped like a deep-sea fish, the protruding eyeballs were turbid yellow, and there was a crown on the head.

It shook its head, seawater splashed from it, it looked down at its palms, and looked around at the surging waves, a trace of confusion flashed in its eyes.

"Here, is not my sea area?"

"And is it my illusion? Why do I feel that there is such a rich energy in this ocean?"

"Even if it is me, the Deep Sea King, my strength has improved in this ocean?"

Its voice roared low like an undersea volcano, with obvious incomprehension. What made it even more incomprehensible was that the unknown energy contained in the surrounding seawater was surprisingly high, and it poured into its body without even needing to absorb it deliberately. Just between breaths, it felt its strength growing slowly.

As the deep-sea hegemon, it had never seen such a thing; just this point, it could judge that it had come to an unknown sea area.

Humans? Or other monsters born in the ocean with unknown abilities?

Originally, it was preparing to lead its subordinates to attack the land, but it inexplicably came to this strange place.

The Deep Sea King raised its head, sniffed the smell in the air, and then cast its gaze on the distant coastline, locking onto the outline of the distant land, and the desire to conquer ignited in its heart again.

But as a king, it decided to understand this strange sea area first. Through perception, it found that there were quite a few creatures in this ocean whose strength was close to its original subordinates.

"Very good..."

The Deep Sea King grinned with its mouth full of sharp teeth, revealing a ferocious smile.

"Let's subdue these guys first and ask about the situation here."

Its huge body slowly sank into the sea, swimming toward the several powerful auras it perceived. Where it passed, the seawater automatically separated, and the fish schools fled in panic.

Bibobo City, Coastal Observation Station.

At 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, in the radar room of the Bibobo branch of the Ocean Monitoring Department under the Heavenly Pivot Bureau, Wang Li, who was on duty, rubbed his sore eyes.

As one of the key monitoring stations on the east coast, it is equipped with the most advanced radar system and underwater sonar, monitoring almost all abnormal movements in the near sea 24 hours a day.

Of course, because their system is too advanced, the monitoring range is a bit large, basically selective monitoring.

"Xiao Zhang, help me check the data of the No. 3 sonar array."

"Some abnormal echoes appeared near 121.47 degrees east longitude."

Wang Li tapped the keyboard.

In front of the monitoring screen, Zhang Ming quickly called up the data:

"Wang Gong, there is indeed an abnormality. A large biological signal was detected at a depth of about 80 meters, with an estimated body length of about 20 meters."

"It is moving toward Bibobo City quickly."

A body length of 20 meters is no problem. After the Qi tide, the body size of those marine creatures grew faster than land creatures. Marine creatures like orcas and sharks that were originally large in size became even larger after mutation.

20 meters is nothing among them.

But approaching human cities is a problem.

Wang Li immediately put down his cup and walked quickly to the main console. The electronic sea chart on the wall clearly showed a huge red dot moving quickly in the sea area, heading straight for Bibobo City.

"At this speed, it is expected to approach the coastline in 30 minutes!"

"Should I notify the Bibobo City Heavenly Pivot Bureau immediately?"

While Zhang Ming was speaking, Wang Li had already picked up the dedicated line phone:

"Connect to the Bibobo City Heavenly Pivot Branch, emergency situation!"

Under the night curtain.

On the city wall built by the sea in Bibobo City, the beam of the searchlight pierced the darkness like a sharp sword, scanning back and forth on the sea.

This giant defensive work, 30 meters high, is cast from special alloy, and the wall is full of automatic turrets and spiritual energy monitoring devices.

In the era of Qi recovery, human vigilance against the ocean far exceeds that of land.

After all, more than 70% of Blue Star's area is ocean, and the number of creatures hidden in it cannot be estimated; Bibobo City, as a coastal city, naturally cannot be unprepared.

Although most of the mutated marine creatures observed so far still follow their original habits and have little interest in human land, no one can guarantee that some mutated sea beasts with "landing" ambitions will not be born in the future.

"Old Zhou, the waves are a bit big tonight."

In the watchtower, a young Heavenly Pivot Bureau member looked at the surging seawater outside and frowned.

"Normal, after the Qi tide, the number of mutated marine creatures has increased greatly, and the internal fighting is more intense than on land, so the seawater naturally fluctuates."

The middle-aged man called Old Zhou took a sip of tea and said, his expression very relaxed.

"As long as those mutated sea beasts in the deep sea don't think about rushing to the shore, we are just a decoration here."

"Decoration?"

"If the guns on this wall fire, those guys in the ocean are afraid they won't even be able to get on land. They will die as soon as they show their heads. Can this also be called a decoration?"

The young man didn't understand.

"The ocean is so big, except for those mutated sea beasts with sick brains, who would look at the land?"

"And to what extent must they mutate to let them put aside their own habits and walk toward the land?"

"When it really reaches this time, those mutated creatures are afraid they are all Stage Three or Stage Four."

"Stage Three is okay, our firepower can still kill them, but Stage Four, that is not something these things can play a role in."
