Chapter 184: The Deep Sea Giant Python
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi felt a stir in his heart and quietly slipped away from the team.
He aimed for a massive jellyfish, flashed his figure, and hid beneath its umbrella-shaped body.
"Wah!"
The jellyfish had clearly attained spiritual wisdom and was startled by the suddenly appearing Zhang Yi.
It hurriedly used the other half of its umbrella-shaped body to cover itself, revealing only a pair of terrified, large eyes.
Seeing this, Zhang Yi felt somewhat awkward and hurriedly said, "Sorry, I scared you."
Upon hearing Zhang Yi's voice, the jellyfish finally lowered its "modesty cloth" and cursed angrily, "You blind thing! Didn't you see this lady here? You nearly scared me to death!"
After cursing, the jellyfish then carefully sized up Zhang Yi.
Suddenly, it widened its eyes, flapped its body, and asked in surprise, "You... why are you a bird? We are in the sea! How can a bird come down here?"
Zhang Yi explained helplessly, "I am not a bird; I am a Jinwu."
"Ji... Jinwu?!"
Hearing this, the jellyfish's eyes immediately turned into hearts, like a fan meeting an idol, and it trembled with excitement.
"It really is a Jinwu! Heavens! I actually saw a living Jinwu!"
Zhang Yi was left somewhat at a loss by the jellyfish's sudden enthusiasm.
He scratched his head and said modestly, "Don't call me Jinwu, just call me Zhang Yi."
The jellyfish swayed its body excitedly and said, "Brother Zhang Yi, our area is very close to the Taiyang Shendian, and we often hear legends about the Jinwu; everyone is full of anticipation for the Jinwu! I didn't expect to actually see you today! It is truly such an honor!"
Zhang Yi then understood that the Jinwu's reputation in this sea area was actually quite resounding.
He smiled and said, "Is that so? Then that is truly... a great honor."
The jellyfish continued, "Lord Zhang Yi, are you going to the Taiyang Shendian? I can lead the way for you! I am very familiar with this sea area!"
Zhang Yi felt a stir in his heart; this was a good proposal.
Having a guide familiar with the terrain could save quite a bit of trouble.
Thus, he agreed to the jellyfish's request.
The jellyfish excitedly led the way in front, swimming while introducing the various strange creatures and terrain in the Yinhai to Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi also took the opportunity to absorb the surrounding energy bodies, his strength steadily improving.
"Lord Zhang Yi, look, that huge coral reef ahead is the landmark of the Yinhai! Once past the coral reef, swim a bit further, and you will reach the entrance to the Taiyang Shendian!"
The jellyfish pointed ahead and said excitedly.
Zhang Yi looked in the direction the jellyfish pointed and indeed saw a huge coral reef.
It was colorful, like a fantasy castle on the seabed.
Just as they were preparing to continue forward.
Suddenly, a powerful aura came from the depths of the coral reef, accompanied by a low roar that shook the seawater and caused turbulent undercurrents.
"Oh no! It's the Juman!"
The jellyfish exclaimed, its face turning deathly pale in an instant.
A huge black figure was seen slowly swimming out from the depths of the coral reef.
The figure was a hundred zhang long, its whole body covered in hard scales, emitting a suffocating pressure.
A pair of huge red eyes flickered with bloodthirsty light.
"A Jinwu? It really is a Jinwu! My luck today is just too good!"
The Juman spoke in human language, its voice like muffled thunder, deafening.
Zhang Yi's heart tightened; it seemed that reaching the Taiyang Shendian smoothly would not be an easy task.
This sudden turn of events alarmed several powerful beings in the distance.
Violent energy fluctuations spread like ripples, instantly attracting the attention of the Wind God Pterosaur, the Demon Emperor, the Nudi, and even the Jubiao mother.
The Wind God Pterosaur arrived first, its huge wings blocking the sky and sun, bringing gusts of wild wind.
"What is going on? Which blind thing dares to cause trouble in the Yinhai!"
Its sharp voice resounded through the sea area.
Immediately after, the Demon Emperor and the Nudi also appeared one after another.
The Demon Emperor wore a black robe, his face cold and stern, emitting a chilling baleful aura.
"Juman? How did this guy get out?"
The Demon Emperor recognized the Juman's origin at a glance, his brows locked tightly.
The Jubiao mother arrived late, and seeing this formation, she couldn't help but complain, "Oh my, really, I finally managed to take a nap, and I've been woken up again."
The appearance of the Juman was undoubtedly a provocation to these overlords of the Yinhai.
The Demon Emperor did not yield and was the first to strike.
He formed seals with both hands, and a black beam of energy shot straight at the Juman's head.
The Juman reacted quickly, its huge body twisting flexibly to dodge the attack.
It opened its bloody maw, let out a deafening roar, and a stream of foul-smelling venom gushed out.
The Wind God Pterosaur hurriedly flapped its wings, and the Nudi also summoned her magic treasure to entangle with the Juman.
The battle was exceptionally intense, with seawater churning and undercurrents surging.
Even the Demon Emperor was injured in the exchange with the Juman, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
Zhang Yi watched the battle from the side, feeling anxious in his heart.
He knew that with his current strength, it would be difficult to intervene in this battle.
Just then, he noticed the jellyfish beside him.
It was shivering and hiding behind a coral reef, its body emitting a faint light.
"Wait..."
Zhang Yi suddenly realized that the light emitted by the jellyfish seemed to have some kind of connection with the energy bodies around it.
He tentatively reached out his hand and touched the jellyfish's body.
In an instant, a powerful surge of energy poured into Zhang Yi's body.
He felt the surrounding energy bodies rushing toward him frantically.
"Puchi! Puchi!"
Various energy creatures without nascent intelligence were frantically absorbed by Zhang Yi and converted into his own power.
At the same time.
The deep-sea Juman also unleashed its ultimate move.
Its massive body spun wildly, churning the seawater to form a huge vortex three zhang high.
The Demon Emperor, the Pterosaur, and Nudi were all swept into the vortex, struggling bitterly.
"Damn it!"
The Demon Emperor roared, but was powerless to break free from the vortex's restraint.
Just then, a golden light shot up into the sky from the depths of the seabed.
After absorbing a massive amount of energy, Zhang Yi finally revealed his true form—a gigantic Jinwu!
His golden feathers shimmered with dazzling light, illuminating the entire sea area.
The deep-sea Juman was startled by this sudden turn of events.
It had not expected that this seemingly weak bird would possess such formidable power.
"Jinwu! You... you actually..."
The Juman widened its eyes in terror.
Zhang Yi ignored the Juman's shock; he flapped his wings, and a scorching aura swept outward.
"Undying Divine Fire!"
A ball of golden flames erupted from Zhang Yi's mouth, transforming into a massive fire dragon that roared toward the deep-sea vortex.
The fire dragon and the water dragon intertwined, emitting a deafening boom.
Water and fire countered each other, yet they also merged together.
In the end, the deep-sea vortex was completely devoured by the Jinwu's Undying Divine Fire.
The deep-sea Juman also lay on the seabed, gasping its last breath, its massive body having lost all vitality.
