Chapter 539: A terrifying battle of behemoths! Small as dust!

Almost at the same time,

Li Yao sensed

several terrifying, scarlet auras

rushing rapidly toward their current position!

It was a bloodthirsty aura, completely undisguised!

Shang Shang Yana couldn't sense this malice,

but she felt as if she had fallen into a quagmire; her breathing became difficult, and her heartbeat accelerated.

Ling Xin curled into a red water ball and shrank onto Li Yao's head, its body trembling slightly.

"Li Yao, terror sharks are the hunters of the deep sea."

"But they are solitary creatures; how could they suddenly act in a pack?"

"If it were just one or two, the ferryman could handle them easily; they wouldn't dare provoke the ferryman! How could it be a whole group?"

"Don't be afraid." Li Yao patted Ling Xin's head gently.

At this moment,

the Green Mushroom Sea Turtle landed on a quiet, silent seabed.

A dazzling green light illuminated a large area.

That was the energy the Green Mushroom Sea Turtle had stored up while hunting.

In the areas not covered by the green light,

pairs of massive, scarlet pupils appeared.

A buzzing sound rang out.

Ling Xin hurriedly extended two tentacles, one linking to Shang Shang Yana beside it, and one extending rapidly to touch the ground outside the silver tree—the sea turtle's skin.

"Humans, if an accident occurs, drive your ark away from here. With me in front, these beasts won't notice you!"

"But I hope that when you leave, you can take the Frowning Fish on my back."

"They can't kill me; the Frowning Fish are for me to eat later!"

Li Yao didn't reply, his expression somber.

This kind of massive life force—

he didn't even need to appraise it to know it was a creature over level 100.

But the strength revealed by its aura was quite average.

The cruelty and bloodlust contained within were cultivated from hunting countless living beings.

Its approximate level:

"Should be Lord-grade."

"The ferryman wasn't lying; at this intensity, no matter how many there are, they can't break its shell."

"Gurgle, gurgle!"

The water bubbles from the giant creatures' movements churned the seawater into a muddy mess.

A black shadow flashed.

The turtle's rubbery, elongated head pressed down on a terror shark, tearing and biting with constant force!

Blood permeated the water;

a whole area of the sea turned dark brown.

The remaining terror sharks swarmed forward.

The sea turtle was slammed into the seabed.

A violent shaking occurred within the gap.

A large amount of daily necessities inside the silver tree fell over with a 'clatter.'

The group hurriedly ran outside the silver tree,

approaching the membrane to witness the battle of the behemoths!

In front of such massive creatures, their presence seemed extremely insignificant.

But the vibration caused by the collision between the two sides made them feel an uncomfortable thumping in their hearts.

Just then,

a terror shark streaked past.

Looking out from the gap,

a fleeting glimpse:

he saw those scarlet pupils the size of a small building.

The pupils focused, staring at the two people inside the crack.

Shang Shang Yana couldn't help but cover her mouth and step back.

Deep sea, behemoths, sharks—

all the buffs were stacked.

Not just Xiao Na,

even he felt a sense of palpitation.

Not palpitation toward the terror sharks,

but toward this environment,

toward this environment where such behemoths grew wantonly.

He instinctively felt his own insignificance!

Facing such behemoths,

the weapons in the hands of human professionals weren't even as good as a single hair on them!

Small as dust.

Even if one wanted to attack, one wouldn't know where to start!

The eye contact lasted only a second.

A green afterimage flashed by.

"Splat!"

The sea turtle bit into this terror shark.

Blood muddied the seawater.

Another violent shake.

Outside the membrane, the world turned upside down.

The sea turtle was knocked flying.

Through the membrane, for a split second, one could see

the sea turtle's limbs, exposed outside the shell, were all bitten by a terror shark.

Blood flowed freely!

The scene was incredibly gruesome!

Li Yao's tightly furrowed brows didn't relax for a long time; he sighed and spoke:

"With the shell there, it's indeed impossible to kill the sea turtle completely."

"But if we let these terror sharks keep tearing at it,"

"the sea turtle probably won't be able to fulfill its job as a ferryman, and we won't be able to get through the Medusa Airspace."

Following Li Yao's words,

Shang Shang Yana and Ling Xin both turned to look at him instantly,

their eyes filled with disbelief.

Li Yao said calmly: "I have to go out and assist it."

"Li Yao! You're crazy!"

Ling Xin's agitated voice instantly rang in his mind.

If they were on land,

facing such behemoths, with Li Yao's strength, he might really be able to help.

But this was the seabed—

the deep sea!

Forget about helping;

breaking the mucus to leave the gap would likely result in being crushed into a pulp by the seawater instantly!

"Li Yao," Shang Shang Yana walked over, grabbing Li Yao's arm, her eyes filled with tension.

Although she didn't try to dissuade him, her worry was written all over her face.

Ling Xin said directly: "Otherwise, let's listen to the ferryman and leave first, then think of a way."

"We can't take the Frowning Fish, but we can just catch more for it later!"

"In any case, you are not allowed to go!"

Li Yao gently let go of Shang Shang Yana's hand.

Facing the dissuasion, Li Yao didn't explain much, only saying faintly: "I have confidence."

For human professionals, the biggest obstacle in the deep sea

is the pressure.

And what Xiao Na and Ling Xin didn't know was

that he had a title:

【God-Slaying Professional】.

He could adapt to the environment to the greatest extent.

As long as he used the 【Chess Player】 talent to withstand the first wave of pressure, the pressure's impact on him would only grow smaller.

The only thing he was worried about now

was how to get out.

"Ling Xin, help me build a bridge to the ferryman."

"Hmm." Seeing that Li Yao had made up his mind, Ling Xin had no choice but to agree.

Ling Xin extended its tentacles.

The moment the bridge was established, the Green Mushroom Sea Turtle noticed.

"Human?"

Li Yao said bluntly: "If I come out, will the mucus be damaged?"

"Hiss!"

Accompanied by a violent shake, a sound of pain rang in his mind.

The Green Mushroom Sea Turtle said quickly: "As long as you pass through slowly, the mucus will repair itself!"

"Besides, even if the mucus is damaged, the ark can still operate underwater!"

"Human! Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly; this isn't something you should be worrying about!"

It thought these humans saw the situation was bad and were preparing to leave,

worrying that the ark would damage the mucus.

Humans were truly dawdling!

Even at a time like this,

they were still worrying about nothing!
