Abyss Monsters
Along the way, Xia Fei discovered two corpses. The blood on their bodies had yet to dry, and their bodies were still warm. From this, it could be seen that they had only been dead for a short period of time, and the cause was none other than the fight over the ancient ruins.
After all, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If one could claim the ruins as their own, or obtain a large number of valuable relics from the ancient civilization, one's fate would be completely changed.
Of course, not everyone would succeed. Those who had fallen earlier were all victims of this cruel competition.
Xia Fei began to feel anxious, for as time went by, more and more people had arrived at this nameless island. Passenger planes were rapidly descending from the sky, and jetliners were whizzing past the surface of the sea. By his estimation, the number of people on the island had already exceeded a thousand!
What made him even more vexed was that this island was completely deserted. Xia Fei could not find any ruins of the ancient civilization even after searching several times. Could he have come to the wrong place?
A few hundred meters ahead was a cliff, and around a hundred warriors were gathered there. They were divided into different factions according to the guilds they belonged to. The Adjudicator Union had the largest number of warriors, numbering around thirty, followed by the Monastics, numbering around twenty. The other smaller guilds had varying numbers of warriors, with the largest group numbering no more than a dozen or so.
They stood facing each other, wary of each other.
Xia Fei found a large rock to hide behind and pricked up his ears to eavesdrop on their conversation.
"We, the Adjudicator Union, discovered this place first. Those unrelated to this place should leave immediately!"
"What a joke! Who can prove that you discovered it first? We, the Monastics, were here even earlier than you!"
It sounded like they were arguing over the ownership of the ancient ruins. Xia Fei found it funny. They had not even found the ancient ruins, yet they were already arguing over profits.
After some thought, Xia Fei decided to continue searching for traces of the ancient ruins. Staying here and listening to them was simply a waste of time.
All of a sudden!
The demonic phenomenon appeared once again!
Because he was closer this time, Xia Fei could finally see this extremely shocking scene! Giant snakes of electricity whizzed out from the depths of the sea, entangled together, and soared into the sky! The intense light made it nearly impossible to see anything!
"So the ruins are in the sea!" Xia Fei was shocked.
In the blink of an eye, the thousands of warriors from the various guilds who were stranded on the island arrived. Gulp! He jumped into the sea and swam quickly towards the place where the demons were dancing!
There were also some who were not good swimmers or timid guys who hurriedly started the jet yacht, but in this way, they would definitely waste a lot of time for nothing.
The source of the light was about thirty kilometers to the west of the island. Xia Fei did not think too much about it and jumped into the ocean like the other warriors.
Xia Fei was a speed ability user to begin with, so even though he was in the water, he was still able to move at a speed that no ordinary person could match.
Soon, Xia Fei and a few other ability users with water abilities, speed, or strength abilities were in the lead of the group.
About five hundred meters in front of Xia Feis was an ice ability user. Every time the tip of his foot touched the surface of the water, a small icicle would form around him, and he would step on the ice as he rapidly advanced on the surface of the sea.
What Xia Fei was curious about was not how outstanding his special ability was, but the professional-grade scuba gear he was carrying on his back.
This scuba gear had the shape of a tortoise shell and was tightly attached to the user's back. It was powered by two water-jet engines, and the four tanks of compressed air were enough for the user to last 96 hours in the water, allowing them to dive for extended periods of time.
Xia Fei had a thought. The ruins were obviously located below the surface of the water, and the exact depth was unknown. If he relied on the small air tanks on his combat suit, he might run out of air before he even got close to the ruins, so this professional scuba gear was perfect for him.
The thought came quickly, and he acted even faster.
Swiping his finger across his spatial ring, Xia Fei took out the ancient mystical armament, the Butterfly Serpent. He lightly pressed the activation button on the tail of the serpent, and the snake-shaped metal serpent silently gave chase.
Binding and binding were done in one smooth motion.
In the blink of an eye, the man was tied up like a dumpling, his body losing balance as he fell into the water.
Xia Fei held his breath and slithered to the man's side like an agile loach. He lightly swiped Celestial Moon across the man's neck, ending the painful process of him drowning.
Phantom looked at the badge on the man's chest and furrowed his eyebrows. "Xia Fei, this man is from the Adjudicator Union, just like you."
Xia Fei nonchalantly replied, "Who cares what union he's from? I'm only interested in the ancient ruins. As for the others, I can't be bothered."
After changing into this professional scuba gear, Xia Fei did not surface but dove straight to the bottom of the sea.
Pulling down his mask, Xia Fei adjusted his infrared vision.
It was currently nighttime, and the bottom of the sea was pitch-black. There was no light at all, so infrared vision goggles were indispensable equipment.
* Whoosh *
More than ten warriors dove into the water, but they very quickly returned to the surface. This was because they did not have any professional diving equipment, and the small air tanks were clearly not enough to support their deep dive.
Several Water Ability Users relied on their ability to dive to gain the upper hand, while a fierce battle was taking place on the surface. They were fighting over the limited diving equipment available.
Xia Fei did not care about the chaotic situation at sea. To him, only those who had the ability to dive into the water were his opponents, and he was not afraid of those who remained on the surface.
"Though most people are unable to dive into the water due to the lack of diving equipment, there are still plenty of competitors around you. What should we do?" Phantom asked excitedly and nervously.
Xia Fei gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "If gods stand in my way, I'll kill them!"
…
Xia Fei finally got a clear look at the bottom of the sea. It looked like a slope, and the bottom of the sea was about three thousand meters from the surface. It was covered in sand and rocks, and there were plenty of unknown fishes swimming around.
Xia Fei wielded the Butterfly Serpent and used the coral and seaweed at the bottom of the sea as cover to slowly approach a Water Ability User. He created a giant air bubble in the water and controlled it to move forward quickly.
Just like before, Xia Fei first released the Butterfly Serpent to trap the other party before he rushed forward and used Celestial Moon to end the other party's life without any hesitation.
Faced with the temptation of the ancient ruins, Xia Fei finally went on a killing spree! He could not care less anymore.
Very soon, the sea was shrouded in the thick scent of blood. A large number of bloodthirsty sharks approached from afar, baring their white teeth as they viciously bit and charged at the people underwater!
* Whoosh *
A giant shark with spotted stripes charged over from the side. It was like a small bulldozer, extremely fast and full of power!
* Whoosh! *
Celestial Moon cut through the water with a trail of air bubbles behind it, accurately striking the giant shark's head and splitting it in two!
A large amount of blood spewed out, and the sea below was practically a slaughterhouse. It was impossible to tell which blood belonged to humans and which belonged to sharks.
Xia Fei's eyes were bloodshot. As long as they were within his attack range, be it humans or sharks, nothing would be able to escape from his grasp. He would kill anyone he saw!
After a brief moment of chaos, the warriors who were originally on the surface of the sea managed to obtain a large amount of diving equipment from who knew where and all of them dove into the water, chasing after Xia Fei's trail.
Unfortunately, too much blood had already attracted a large number of sharks, and the humans around them were also ready to take their lives at any moment. The range of the massacre was slowly expanding, and the color of the sea was becoming more and more vibrant. Broken limbs were floating in the sea, and it was practically hell on earth!
While the people behind him were busy slaughtering, Xia Fei had already killed his way to an extremely deep trench.
This trench spanned across the continental shelf, and its width was more than ten kilometers. Its length and depth were simply immeasurable!
Phantom poked his head out and looked at the bottomless trench. He swallowed his saliva and said, "Oh my god! Just how deep is this?! "
Xia Fei shook his head, his expression somewhat solemn.
Such a huge trench would be difficult to explore even if he were to dive deep into it. Besides, he could not be sure if the ancient ruins were in this trench.
The Bloodthirsty Screech was a very good combat suit, and it could help Xia Fei resist the pressure underwater, but there was a limit to its resistance. If this trench was ten thousand meters deep, it would not be a problem, but if it was a hundred thousand meters! A million meters?!
There was a faint light coming from the trench, very much like the searchlights of diving equipment. It seemed that someone had already dived in before Xia Fei.
"There's no time to think. Let's go down!" Xia Fei's eyes were resolute.
Before Xia Fei could finish, an intense light suddenly shot out from the depths of the trench!
"Demons Dance! It looks like the ancient ruins really are beneath this trench! "Phantom excitedly exclaimed.
Along with the light was a huge ocean current. It was like a high-pressure faucet erupting from the depths of the earth! Straight toward the surface!
Xia Fei's two feet exerted force, planting deep into the mud to prevent himself from being swept away by the current.
An intense light!
It was even more dazzling than the midday sun!
The huge torrent of water toppled the surrounding rocks to the ground! Xia Fei covered his face with his arms, forcefully enduring it.
When the light weakened a little, Xia Fei immediately used the remaining light to look down into the trench, and what he saw was a shocking and terrifying scene!
There was no telling what kind of monsters lived in this bottomless trench! They had soft bodies like water snakes and teeth sharper than sharks!
The rock walls on both sides of the abyss were their home. They had carved out circular caves in the rock walls and lived in them.
* Whoosh ~ *
A warrior who had dived in before Xia Fei was swallowed alive by this monster, and fresh blood immediately stained the surroundings!
After swallowing that warrior, the monster immediately retreated back into the cave, leaving only its head outside, a pair of small golden eyes glinting fiercely!
