Chapter 543
Sometimes Li Yao felt they were about to die,
threw out an attack skill,
but didn't deal a fatal strike,
and was instead harvested by the Green Mushroom Sea Turtle.
Half an hour passed.
All the deep-sea terror sharks were killed.
Li Yao only managed to grab three final hits.
He looked at his experience: "Not bad, nearly 50% of level 71."
"It's many times faster than grinding dungeons on the Blue Star!"
Li Yao headed toward the seabed.
"I wonder if these 'behemoths,' which are slightly different from ordinary monsters, have treasure chests?"
After searching for a while,
Li Yao found the first treasure chest under the mud and sand,
then the second.
There were seven deep-sea terror sharks he had slain,
and he found a total of six treasure chests.
With a 'swish,'
Li Yao used 【Flash Mark】
to return to the crack space.
Shang Shang Yana and Ling Xin were stunned for a moment,
then stared at the returning Li Yao with the look of someone looking at a monster.
Li Yao seemed used to this look and said, "Ling Xin, help me link to the ferryman."
"If we keep eating like this, it'll be troublesome if we attract other behemoths later."
The corpses of the deep-sea terror sharks lay on the seabed.
A large amount of blood permeated out along with the shredded meat,
and then was washed away to every corner of the deep sea by the current.
The Green Mushroom Sea Turtle had eaten a Frowning Fish from its back last night,
and it wasn't time to eat yet.
But after all, this was food obtained after a battle,
so it might as well eat it.
Furthermore,
for it,
the terror shark's meat was far more tender than the Frowning Fish!
So,
it lay on the seabed and began to tear at the terror shark's corpse.
With every bite it took,
the green light on its body became richer.
Ling Xin extended its tentacles, wrapping them around Li Yao's arm.
Li Yao was just about to speak
when the Green Mushroom Sea Turtle's youthful voice came through.
"Human, you are quite good."
"Splat, splat," the sound of chewing meat.
"With your strength, I can take you to the edge of the Lost Continent."
"But you cannot go on the island; this is my bottom line."
"..." The sea turtle wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Li Yao.
"Let's leave first."
"I'm worried that this blood will attract other behemoths."
Hearing Li Yao's voice,
Shang Shang Yana and Ling Xin were both a bit nervous.
Ling Xin's body, which had just turned blue, showed a trend of turning red.
They all knew
that Li Yao didn't continue hunting terror sharks later
because that terrifying attack must have consumed a large amount of mana.
If a behemoth was truly attracted by the flesh and blood, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Attract behemoths? Impossible." The Green Mushroom Sea Turtle said dismissively. "If they hadn't smelled the terror shark's flesh, it would be one thing, but once they smell it, they'll run away without a trace!"
"Don't worry, human. Once I finish eating, I'll take you to the Lost Continent at top speed!"
Li Yao frowned slightly.
If he remembered correctly,
Ling Xin had once said
that deep-sea terror sharks were solitary creatures.
But now they were acting in a pack,
which definitely meant something had changed.
Whether it was behemoths or other things,
staying here for a long time was definitely not a good choice.
"I can help you tie a terror shark to your shell like the Frowning Fish."
"Human, you don't need to persuade me anymore."
"I won't let go of food that's already in my mouth!"
The Green Mushroom Sea Turtle's movement speed was relatively slow,
and it was difficult for them to actively hunt.
This was also why it chose to become a ferryman.
If other races didn't bring it meat,
in most cases, it could only eat the vegetation on the seabed.
"You can rest assured; even if a behemoth truly dares to come over, with me here, you will absolutely not encounter danger!"
The Green Mushroom Sea Turtle's youthful voice was full of confidence.
Its age among sea turtles probably wasn't great,
and having such strength, it indeed had the capital to be proud.
Ling Xin and Shang Shang Yana also heard the Green Mushroom Sea Turtle's voice and were immediately speechless.
Between food and life, which one is more important!
Besides, aren't you already full?!
Just then,
at the edge of the green light displayed by the sea turtle,
many massive black shadows suddenly appeared.
The blood floating out from the terror sharks emitted a thick, fishy smell,
and the predators in the deep sea had always had keen senses.
From the perception,
these predators weren't as strong as the terror sharks,
but the key was the quantity!
The Green Mushroom Sea Turtle obviously hadn't expected the quantity to be so exaggerated.
"Damn! How can there be so many!"
"Are these guys full from eating too much!"
"Even if they snatch it, they won't get much, right?"
Ling Xin was also confused.
"There are very few gregarious creatures in the deep sea, and besides, they are of different species, plus the terror sharks from just now."
"Is it a coincidence?"
"Coincidence?" Shang Shang Yana narrowed her eyes and shook her head. "It doesn't look like a coincidence; their goals are very consistent."
The surrounding deep-sea creatures were not only staring at the terror shark corpses, but even the Green Mushroom Sea Turtle, which was gnawing on the corpses, was their target,
radiating obvious hostility.
Li Yao didn't participate in their discussion.
Even if they left now, it would be too late.
He was thinking
if there was a possibility of solving this group of behemoths.
There was,
but his state would fall to a level of near exhaustion.
When he came back just now,
he had already used the 【Spirit-Devouring Windbreaker】 to actively restore 30% of his mana.
Except for 【Shackles】 entering cooldown,
he was in his prime state.
But the chess pieces couldn't fight in the deep sea.
To solve these guys,
he had to play all his trump cards!
Once they encountered any threat again,
the fate of the few of them would have to be handed over to the Green Mushroom Sea Turtle.
Li Yao didn't like such a situation,
so he chose the second plan.
"Ling Xin, attack me once," Li Yao said.
"What?" Ling Xin couldn't help but be stunned, seeing that Li Yao's expression didn't look like he was joking,
so it spat out a bubble and attacked Li Yao.
No damage appeared,
but he had already entered a combat state.
Li Yao said:
"Once there is an opportunity later, you must escape immediately, okay?"
"Sorry, human." The Green Mushroom Sea Turtle felt a bit ashamed; it could guarantee Li Yao and the others' safety,
but it would also delay their journey.
At the very least, with the appearance of these behemoths, it could only shrink into its shell and couldn't fulfill its job as a ferryman.
As for the human talking about escaping, it didn't take it seriously at all.
Surrounded by so many behemoths,
how could a turtle like it run?
"No need to be sorry."
Stopping the consumption of the terror shark corpses was the Green Mushroom Sea Turtle's instinct.
Being able to think of their safety while encountering danger,
the Green Mushroom Sea Turtle had already fulfilled the duties of a ferryman.
Li Yao approached the mucus again.
At the same time,
"Boom!"
The Devourer appeared in the crack space.
Because its volume was too massive, it even pushed the silver tree to the side.
Its entire body crouched on the ground.
Li Yao stepped out of the mucus.
【Time Memory】 cleared the Shackles cooldown.
"Shackles."
"Target Devourer."
These behemoths that came for blood,
their ethereal momentum
couldn't make them suppress their instincts.
Then he would use size
to let them intuitively feel the gap!
