The Nine-Headed Ocean Monster was a mutated species of a certain primordial giant octopus. After the tectonic changes and the continents surfaced on the surface of the ocean, they were still lurking in the trenches almost ten thousand meters deep as living fossils.
Counting the nine tentacles, the Nine-Headed Ocean Monster could easily reach almost a thousand meters in size. It was also born with natural talents in the utilization of the spiritual energy of the water class. It could control the undercurrents at the bottom of the ocean freely and form water pillars, water arrows, and water walls. It could even launch supersonic daggers through the tentacles and the jetting holes on its body, which were unstoppable!
What was even more dreadful was that the cell structure of the Nine-Headed Ocean Monster was slightly different from that of the species today. Its self-recovery ability was very high. Cutting off one of its tentacles was useless. New tentacles would grow out in only a few minutes.
Such terrifying abilities, together with its thick skin and astonishing vitality, made it the absolute dominator of the ocean. The ancestors of the ocean regarded it as a deity.
In the Xing Yao Federation, there was even a legend that the souls of countless demon soldiers, generals, and emperors were attached to the Nine-Headed Ocean Monsters when the Far East Demon Kingdom was destroyed. That was why the sea monsters were so terrifying.
Of course, it was nonsense.
However, the biochemical technology of the Far East Demon Kingdom was quite advanced. It was quite possible that some of the Nine-Headed Ocean Monsters were captured and modified, turning them from spiritual beasts into demon beasts.
In any case, the Nine-Headed Ocean Monster was an enemy that the Cultivators of the Heaven's Origin Sector would rather not run into in the ocean.
Thankfully, they were usually active in the trenches more than ten thousand meters deep, where they fed on the giant whales. They barely came to the shallow water.
The pressure of the seawater was too low. It was a very uncomfortable environment for their enormous bodies.
As long as the Cultivators of the Heaven's Origin Sector were not so bored that they had to hunt them in the trenches tens of thousands of meters deep, they would not come out to harm other creatures easily. The two parties had minded their own business and lived in peace for hundreds of years.
Today, however, Li Yao fished a Nine-Headed Ocean Monster out of its nest.
"Hululu!"
The jetting holes hidden in the folds on the Nine-Headed Ocean Monster's body spurted out pillars of water, releasing the most intimidating aura!
Li Yao smiled and aimed at the "sea anemone" on the Nine-Headed Ocean Monster's head, and fired another round of bullets.
This bunch of fluorescent tentacles on its head was the organ that released the Nine-Headed Ocean Demon's pheromone, and the biggest use of this pheromone was to attract the opposite sex.
In other words, this "sea anemone" was the Nine-Headed Ocean Monster's "thing"!
Li Yao's barrage of bullets was like a kick to the crotch of the Nine-Headed Ocean Monster. Although they were swatted away by the monster's tentacles, the Nine-Headed Ocean Monster was enraged.
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! "
The Nine-Headed Ocean Demon was like a moving underwater volcano as it smashed towards Li Yao!
"Let's go!"
Li Yao shrieked and ran in the direction of the undersea mining base!
The water arrows brushed past him and left clear marks on the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit. But Li Yao did not even look back. While jumping up and down and dancing in the undercurrents and water arrows, he calmly analyzed the distance between him and the Nine-Headed Ocean Monster and the weather on the surface of the ocean!
At this moment, the tsunamis caused by the volcanic eruption, the thunderstorms caused by the superstorm, and the Nine-Headed Ocean Monster that had completely gone crazy swept towards the undersea mining base at the same time!
Li Yao calculated the time perfectly. When he escaped to the undersea mining base, it was exactly the moment when the storm and the tsunamis on the surface of the ocean were the fiercest and the spiritual energy at the bottom of the ocean was the most chaotic!
At this moment, lightning was flashing on the surface of the ocean, and turbid tides were surging to the sky. The undersea mining base seemed to be at the center of a swirl, and its perception of the outside world was lowered to the minimum.
However, however insensitive its senses were, it was still able to detect the approach of the Nine-Headed Ocean Monster.
According to Li Yao's speculation, since the undersea mining base was not far away from the Broken Vein Trench, the 'patriots' in the base must have known that enormous sea monsters such as the Nine-Headed Ocean Monster were probably living in the deep trench.
It was not unusual that the underground quakes caused by the eruption of the undersea volcano nearby were alarmed and forced to the shallow water.
As he expected, a moment later, Li Yao sensed intense spiritual waves from the undersea mining base. It was obvious that the defense rune arrays had been set to the highest level, and a certain powerful attack rune array had been triggered, too. A large batch of Exos and crystal warships were rushing out, too!
Li Yao, on the other hand, had retreated the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit into his Cosmos Ring before they rushed out. Wearing only a membrane suit that boasted stealth abilities, he was like a slippery fish. Even his heartbeat and breathing had been suppressed to the minimum as he landed at the bottom of the ocean quietly.
The Nine-Headed Ocean Monster lived at the bottom of the ocean where there was no sunlight. It did not need to see at all. Its eyeballs had long degenerated, and it only had a vague sense of light. It mainly detected the enemy by analyzing the pheromones in the seawater through its wrinkles and detecting spiritual waves through its skin cells.
If the spiritual waves that Li Yao sent out just now were equivalent to a firefly, then the Nine-Headed Ocean Monster that had been deployed by the Nine-Headed Ocean Monster was much stronger than the Nine-Headed Ocean Monster.
In its perception, the undersea mining base, which had increased its defense to the maximum in case of a storm, was a cluster of furious flames!
"Hoooo!"
The Nine-Headed Ocean Monster lived in the abyss at the bottom of the ocean. It did not know the immensity of the world at all. Its dignity as a dominator of the deep sea had been insulted in such a way. It went mad and crashed into the undersea mining base!
Shua! Shua! Shua!
More than ten dazzling mystic rays suddenly darted out of the undersea mining base. The spiritual energy condensed in the mystic rays was so immense that even the seawater nearby was dissected into hazy arcs of light. More than ten sword auras slashed the Nine-Headed Ocean Monster brutally, leaving wounds dozens of meters deep on its body. Even one of its tentacles was chopped off!
The Nine-Headed Ocean Monster did not feel anything at all. Its wounds were healing at a visible speed. A lot of meat was spurting out of the broken tentacle, and a new tentacle was quickly formed.
The nine tentacles waved like a wind and slapped the two crystal warships away brutally. A large cluster of water spurted out from its back and crashed into a corner of the mining base like a shooting star with the counterforce! Zi!
"Zi, zi, zi, zi!"
The defense rune arrays around the mining base spurted out tremendous electric currents into a lightning barrier, only to be ripped apart by the Nine-Headed Ocean Monster more than easily. Corrosive body fluids spurted out of the Nine-Headed Ocean Monster's wounds, corroding the shell of the mining base and leaving huge holes!
The seawater immediately flooded in!
Hundreds of elite Exos were engaged in a fierce battle with the Nine-Headed Ocean Monster. A lot of mud at the bottom of the ocean was raised, and the dozens of square kilometers nearby were filled with smog. The visibility was extremely low, and the scanning of spiritual energy was seriously jammed. It was a world of chaos!
Hiding in the sand, Li Yao observed the fierce battle above his head in silence.
His guess was not wrong. As the most important secret base of the Patriots Partnership, the defense of the place was indeed very strict. Quite a few Exos were carrying out the capability of Jin Dan at the beginning. As for whether or not Yuanying was guarding the place, there was no telling yet. Perhaps, he was looking for an opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the Nine-Headed Ocean Monster!
However, the Nine-Headed Ocean Monster, which boasted a high vitality, was not so easy to kill. It should be able to buy enough time before it was completely killed!
Li Yao smiled. Holding his breath, he captured the blast spreading out from the battlefield with the slightest movement and drifted toward the damaged shell of the mining base.
Everybody's attention was attracted by the Nine-Headed Ocean Monster. None of them noticed that a 'monster' that was even more dreadful than the Nine-Headed Ocean Monster had broken into the mining base through the hole in the dirty seawater!
Li Yao had successfully snuck into the undersea mining base!
But he did not have much time!
After the enemy killed the Nine-Headed Ocean Monster, repaired the defense system of the undersea base, and returned to the base, his space of activity would be reduced to the minimum!
He had to be fast!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The tentacles of the Nine-Headed Ocean Monster were bashing the shell of the undersea base nonstop. The entire base was shaking softly. A lot of seawater flooded in from the damaged parts, drowning several channels and a large area of space. The base was in a mess because of the high-intensity elimination work.
As a result, the defense system was naturally in a mess and full of loopholes!
Li Yao released Neltharion and entered the stealth state. He followed a few anxious rescue workers and found a man who seemed to be the leader. Together with him, they zigzagged into the depths of the base.
If the entire undersea mining base was like a giant crab, then the mess right now was more like the pincers of the crab. The center of the base, on the other hand, was like the navel of the crab that was heavily protected by the shell. It was still peaceful.
After passing through a few airtight doors, what appeared in front of Neltharion was a spacious medicine workshop. Almost a hundred alchemists in white airtight suits and filter masks were working hard on their desks.
They were refining a kind of medicine that had a faint fluorescent green color.
The medicine workshop was very quiet. Even the battle sounds outside were barely audible. Few people were whispering to each other, too.
What's this?
Crouching behind the gap of an air circulation unit, Li Yao pondered curiously. Is this the 'drug' that Lu Zui talked about? It seems that it can be mass-produced now. What's the effect of such a 'drug' exactly?
The leader of the rescue team was talking to an old man who seemed to be the director of the medicine workshop. He seemed to be introducing the situation outside to the old man.
The old man nodded and hinted for him to go back to the workshop. Then, he took off his filter mask and walked to another door in the corner.
Li Yao's pupils constricted violently.
He might not know all the Yuanying Cultivators in the Tian Yuan Realm like the back of his hand, but he at least knew what they looked like and their basic information.
