With the death of the eel king, the rest of the eels seemed to have lost their backbone as they panicked and disappeared without a trace.
"It has been a long time since I last exercised. Too bad that it is still too short."
Putting away his iron stick, Dongfang Hao looked like he was not done yet.
"This Dongfang Hao is indeed powerful."
"I have seen a lot of demi king warriors, but none of them were this powerful. That was an eel king, and it was shattered into pieces with one attack."
"There are different levels of demi king warriors as well. This Dongfang Hao should be a top demi king warrior, right?"
Seeing that Dongfang Hao had killed the eel king with one stick, everyone started to discuss. A lot of beautiful girls looked over at him.
"Alright, let's keep going."
The man with grey hair looked at Dongfang Hao a couple more times and said with a loud voice.
Under the lead of the man with grey hair, the team continued to dive deeper. However, compared to before, the team was no longer lifeless. There were a lot of people chatting, and most of the topics were about Dongfang Hao. Being young and powerful, he had become the center of attention without a doubt.
Inside the team, Dongfang Hao said to Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng, "This eel king is not that powerful. It is probably not more than three thousand years old. Last time, I ran into a five thousand years old eel king, and it took me a lot of effort to beat it."
The lifespan of the beasts was usually longer than humans. Some of the turtle type beasts could even live for tens of thousands of years or even hundreds of thousands of years. Humans would not be able to compete with them even if they tried. However, humans had their own advantages. Although their lifespan was short, and normal people could only live for a hundred years at most, the world was fair. Humans had an extremely powerful comprehensive ability, which allowed them to learn the profound in a short amount of time. On the other hand, the beasts were a lot more stupid. Hundreds of years might not even be comparable to a few years of humans. Therefore, for the beasts, shapeshifting was very important. As long as they could shapeshift into a human, their comprehensive ability would start to approach that of humans.
Ye Chen smiled lightly but did not say anything.
Neither of them said anything, which made Dongfang Hao a bit unhappy. His gaze moved over to Murong Qingcheng, "Miss Murong, the qi coming out of your body does not seem to be Zhen yuan. I have been wondering about it for a long time. I wonder if you could tell me."
Murong Qingcheng said, "No comment."
"What's there to hide? We're friends, after all." Meng Xiaoling helped Dongfang Hao.
Dongfang Hao looked at Murong Qingcheng with a smile, waiting for her answer.
Ye Chen's expression turned cold. "You two, it's best not to ask about things you shouldn't ask."
"You!"
Dongfang Hao thought that his temperament was way better than normal people, but Ye Chen's attitude had pissed him off a lot. It was obvious that the latter did not take him seriously at all. If it were not for Murong Qingcheng, he would have lost it already. A mere peak level Late Sea of Souls Realm warrior dared to talk to him like this.
"You really overestimate yourself."
Meng Xiaoling also couldn't stand Ye Chen's attitude and whispered.
"It seems like we don't have anything in common to talk about. There's no need for us to get together."
Murong Qingcheng frowned and pulled away from the two of them.
Right then, Ye Chen also said, "You two, if there is nothing important in the future, you better not disturb us. I am not someone with a good temper."
As he spoke, he leaned toward Murong Qingcheng.
Dongfang Hao's expression was very bad, as bad as it could get. His eyes were extremely dark.
"I am so pissed! These two guys really don't know what's good for them."
Meng Xiaoling gritted her teeth.
"They will regret it one day."
Dongfang Hao said with a low voice.
…
Everyone's diving speed was very fast. Soon, they had reached a depth of one hundred and eighty thousand meters. The water pressure here was unimaginable. It could definitely squeeze a huge piece of steel into a steel ball. Normal Astral Reaching Realm warriors would be reduced to a meatball.
"We should be reaching the ruins soon. Everyone, be careful."
The man with gray hair said from the front.
"Something is coming! It is the deep sea piranhas!"
From far away, Ye Chen could already sense that there were huge amounts of deep ocean piranhas approaching. The piranhas here were very small, only the length of a middle finger. But, for these kinds of vicious creatures that lived in groups, the smaller they were, the more destructive they would be. When tens of thousands of piranhas rushed over, it would definitely be a catastrophic disaster.
Soon, the others had also sensed the arrival of the deep sea piranhas. They were all breathing heavily, looking very nervous.
"Huh! Without me, how are you going to block them out?"
Dongfang Hao had seen how horrifying the deep sea piranhas were. This kind of piranhas did not have high individual battling power, and a Clasping Yuan Realm warrior would be able to handle them. But, they had two special features: one was their extremely hard body, and the other was their extremely sharp teeth. Even Sea of Souls Realm warriors would not be able to kill them with one attack. Their teeth were sharp enough to pierce through Sea of Souls Realm warriors' protective Zhen yuan layer. Once the deep sea piranhas gathered into a large group, it would be quite a threat to even half step king warriors.
"This is so troublesome."
The man with gray hair reached his soul power into his storage ring, looking for something.
The deep sea piranhas were extremely fast, and within a couple of blinks of an eye, they had already arrived. Meanwhile, the man with gray hair threw out a green pellet, and beams of green qi spread out. Unfortunately, it did not spread out that fast, far slower than the attacking speed of the piranhas.
Ah!
All of a sudden, the number of Astral Reaching Realm warriors that had died had reached two digits. Facing the extremely cruel creatures like the deep sea piranhas, the protective Zhen yuan layer of the Astral Reaching Realm warriors would be as fragile as tofu.
Ye Chen's side was also being attacked by a huge amount of piranhas.
Boom! Boom!
Boom! Murong Qingcheng's protective demon power was even more powerful than a half step king warrior's protective Zhen yuan layer. The piranhas would not be able to break through it within a short period of time, and were bounced back one after another.
Seeing this, Dongfang Hao was a bit surprised. He had planned to go up and help out, letting them know who would be able to save her. But, it did not really matter. If Murong Qingcheng could survive, Ye Chen might not be able to. Even if he could survive, he would be embarrassed and become a laughing stock.
Unfortunately, he had underestimated the speed of Ye Chen's sword.
Any of the deep sea piranhas that got close to Ye Chen were cut in half. All of a sudden, there were at least hundreds of deep sea piranhas that got close. But, in the next second, hundreds of them had been cut in half. It was almost impossible to see how Ye Chen had attacked.
"Hm? Such a fast sword speed! "
Dongfang Hao had to admit that he had underestimated Ye Chen.
"Brother Hao, he does not seem to be easy to mess with!"
Meng Xiaoling was even more shocked than Dongfang Hao. She had not seen anyone's sword speed that was as fast as Ye Chen's. It was not hard to imagine how shocked she was.
Taking a deep breath, Dongfang Hao said, "Fast sword speed is nothing. I am a half step king warrior, and he is only at peak level Late Seas of Souls Realm. He would not be my opponent. No matter how fast his sword speed is, would he be able to break through my defense? I would only need one attack to tear him into pieces. "
The green aura emitted by the green pill finally pervaded the air. When the deep-sea piranhas smelled this aura, they immediately rushed over like moths to a flame. The deep-sea piranhas in the lead were the fastest and swallowed the green pill in one gulp.
Something horrifying happened. The other piranhas saw the leading piranha swallow the pellet, and their eyes turned red. They dismembered the other piranhas and started to fight for the bodies. After swallowing the bodies, even more piranhas could not stand it anymore and started to eat their own kind.
Just like that, the number of piranhas started to decrease. Eventually, there was only one piranha left with a big belly. It swam back and forth before it disappeared completely.
"What kind of pellet is this? It is so scary!"
Everyone looked at each other.
The man with grey hair said with satisfaction, "This is the piranha killer that our Black Water Alliance has developed. Don't think that it is just a small pellet. The materials used to make it would be millions of top rank spirit stones. It could kill millions of piranhas. Right now, we have to use it because we have no other choice."
The materials used to make the piranha killer pellet were extremely rare, and each of them would be priceless. Then, a master alchemist would extract the essence of the pellet, and it would take eighty-one days to make. Moreover, the failure rate was very high, as high as fifty percent.
"I wonder if your alliance would sell this kind of piranha killer pellet?"
Someone asked.
"As long as you can afford the top rank spirit stones, we can negotiate."
"Eh, I really can't afford it."
One Piranha Killer Fish was worth millions of top rank spirit stones. Only a few Sea of Souls Realm warriors would be able to afford it. Even a half step king warrior would only have that much wealth, and it would be impossible for them to buy one.
Although there were Piranha Fish killers, everyone had still suffered heavy casualties. Roughly estimating, at least forty to fifty Astral Reaching Realm warriors had been killed, and more than ten Sea of Souls Realm warriors had been killed. Losing a quarter of their force all of a sudden had made the gray-haired man look very bad.
"Ye Chen, don't you think it is strange? This Black Water Alliance warrior seems to care a lot about the casualties. Normally, there is no need for him to care."
Murong Qingcheng could tell that something was not right.
"It is a bit strange indeed, and it is not just this. For example, the missions that the Black Water Alliance has given out, and the Zhen yuan crystal exchange … there are a lot of them."
Ye Chen had already sensed that something was not right about the crystal island, but there was no point in just guessing.
"It seems like we can only take it one step at a time."
Murong Qingcheng nodded.
"Don't worry! As long as we do not run into Life and Death Realm warriors, no matter how many enemies we run into, we will still be able to escape."
This was also the reason why Ye Chen did not say anything.
"We are here!"
After diving down for a few thousand meters, the man with grey hair let out a breath and said happily.
In front of everyone was a massive entrance at the bottom of the ocean. It was surrounded by seaweed, and one would not be able to see it without looking carefully.
"Let's go in."
The man with grey hair led the way and jumped in.
"Let's go!"
Some of the people frowned a little before following him in.
"Hehe!"
The evil looking man seemed to have sensed something wrong as well, so he slowed down on purpose and ran behind the group.
"Be careful!"
Ye Chen held Murong Qingcheng's hand as the two disappeared into the pitch black entrance at the bottom of the ocean.
The entrance was very deep, as if it was a huge crack at the bottom of the ocean. No one knew where it led to. If it were not for the fact that there were a lot of people, normal people would not dare to come in, and would have left a long time ago.
After about ten minutes, everyone's eyes brightened. They had finally passed through the entrance and arrived at the inside of the ocean.
