In the dark and deep sea, hundreds of Black Star Sawtooth Sharks, each of them several thousand meters long, were crazily chasing in a certain direction.
Each Black Star Sawtooth Shark looked independent, but in reality, their auras were connected to each other.
They formed a huge body, looking like a single Black Star Sawtooth Shark swimming. This reduced the resistance, allowing them to move very fast in the water.
They were far faster than some pirate ships. Furthermore, the complicated sea conditions did not affect them at all. They were simply blessed by nature.
Compared to this huge body, the Black Cutlass pirate ship seemed exceptionally insignificant.
Everyone on the ship felt their hearts in their throats as they focused their gazes on Xiao Suo.
At this moment, as long as Xiao Suo made a mistake and bumped into any of the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks, the Dark Night Bewildering Formation would be broken. The Dark Night Bewildering Formation would be destroyed, and the life auras of everyone on the ship would be exposed.
At that time, everyone on the ship would die.
In the quiet underwater world, every second was torture for everyone.
"How long can the 3-Star Defensive Formation last us at the bottom of the sea?" Xiao Chen asked as he looked at Luo Nan.
Luo Nan made some calculations before answering, "Three days. Three days later, we have to surface to repair it."
"What about the Dark Night Bewildering Formation?"
Fei`er said, "That is still fine. As long as we have sufficient Spirit Jades and are not disturbed or destroyed by the outside world, we can last forever."
Three days should be enough. Now, it all depended on Xiao Suo.
Every jolt of the pirate ship made everyone shudder in fear, thinking that they had run into Black Star Sawtooth Sharks.
The ship stumbled along the way, on edge. However, they did not run into any Black Star Sawtooth Sharks in the end.
"They are going to change direction. They have already given up."
Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense sensed that this group of Black Star Sawtooth Sharks finally stopped wasting energy after chasing for a long time.
"Whoosh!"
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. They could finally escape from this dangerous situation. Their hearts could not take it anymore.
However, suddenly, the entire ship started spinning intensely. Everyone swayed left and right, their bodies shaking intensely.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Suo said anxiously, "The undercurrent they are driving is too strong. The pirate ship is forcefully changing its direction …"
That was to say, the entire pirate ship was still being pulled along.
It truly made one feel a bit of despair. They had just thought that they had escaped from the sea of bitterness, but who would have thought that the result would still be the same.
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. He started to calculate his chances of escaping if he forcibly activated the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation.
No matter how he thought about it, the chances weren't very high.
The Yazi Beast Demon Soul was still somewhat weak, only equal to a Major Primal Core cultivator. However, this group of adult Black Star Sawtooth Sharks were all as strong as a Major Primal Core cultivator.
The chances were slim, but he still had to do it, because this was the only way.
At the very least, if he forcefully broke through, he would still have the initiative in his hands. It was much better than being discovered and having to defend and counterattack.
However, when Xiao Chen spoke of his plan, a complicated light flashed in Xiao Suo's eyes. "Captain, trust me, okay? I guarantee that I can persist until the end and not make any mistakes."
What Xiao Chen was worried about was that Xiao Suo would make a mistake, because he was under too much pressure throughout the entire process.
"Believe me, we can definitely do it. Putting our lives on the line is too risky."
Xiao Suo's gaze was no longer perplexed, and it became even more resolute and confident.
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Suo and asked, "Are you sure that the lives of everyone on the ship are in your hands? You know that if you insist, I will definitely promise you. "
"I insist!"
"Good, I believe you."
Xiao Chen did not argue or ask for too much of an explanation. He trusted Xiao Suo unconditionally, which gratified him.
"Do your best! We believe in you, too!"
Fei`er encouraged Xiao Suo, sharing the pressure.
"Leader, we believe in you, too!"
At this moment, Xiao Suo's original subordinates also trusted Xiao Suo without hesitation.
The heavy trust allowed Xiao Suo to completely let go.
As Xiao Chen stood at the side, he revealed a smile on his face. After this matter was over, Xiao Suo would probably undergo a true transformation.
The people on the ship would become even more united.
As the undercurrents surged, the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks dove deeper and deeper. The situation became even more complicated.
However, Xiao Suo completely let go, performing exceptionally well. Although he stumbled, he did not run into any of the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks and did not expose himself.
After an unknown amount of time, everyone could clearly sense that the speed of the pirate ship had slowed down.
The school of Black Star Sawtooth Sharks scattered.
The water screen in the control room had been pitch-black. After a few flashes, an image finally appeared.
Many towering trees grew in the sea region in front. These trees were crystalline and gave off a crystalline fluorescence.
It was this light that illuminated the bottom of the sea, allowing the image to reappear on the water screen.
Several Black Star Sawtooth Sharks swam quietly and contentedly among these fluorescent trees.
The originally dark and sinister bottom of the sea formed a beautiful scene under the illumination of these fluorescent trees.
Everyone somewhat forgot that they had already escaped danger.
"How beautiful! What tree is that?!" Fei`er said affectionately. Not only was that tree huge, but it was also crystalline and gave off a bright fluorescent light.
Xiao Suo startled awake and said somewhat excitedly, "This is the Starry Sea Fluorescent Tree, also known as the Tree of Life of the sea. It has a long lifespan, a living fossil of the starry sea.
"We should have been brought to the most mysterious nest of the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks. If not for a fortuitous encounter, even a Cloud Sea super powerhouse would not be able to find this place.
"The juice that the Tree of Life secretes is known as the Life Juice Source. It is said that the starry sea can give birth to life because of its existence. It is extremely miraculous.
"This Life Juice Source can not only change the quality of a cultivator's physical body but also strengthen their bloodline. If I had a bottle of Life Juice Source, I would be able to advance immediately!"
The crew members on the ship spoke of the various wonders and value of the Tree of Life.
However, they were just saying it. The Black Star Sawtooth Sharks swimming peacefully in the Tree of Life were not just decorations.
This was the nest of the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks. It was very likely that there would be a chief here. That would definitely be an existence surpassing the Cloud Sea Realm.
Strengthening the bloodline, improving the physical body, improving the physique, strengthening the foundation, and increasing the chances of advancing would increase explosively.
These were the benefits of the Life Juice Source. Every one of them was very tempting. Of course, Xiao Chen was tempted as well.
As Xiao Chen stared at the towering trees on the water screen, a light flashed in his eyes as he instantly made up his mind.
It was not Xiao Chen's character to just leave these natural treasures like that. He wanted to take a risk.
The Life Juice Source was actually the source of life. The various benefits it brought were truly worthy of this title.
More importantly, to Xiao Chen, these spiritual trees were extremely valuable in themselves.
"Xiao Suo, you all slowly float up first and wait for me on the water surface."
The moment Xiao Chen said that, everyone on the ship was shocked. What was he doing? The nest of the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks was just ahead.
Xiao Chen had already made his decision, but he could not implicate Xiao Suo and the others. He would take the risk alone.
Although Xiao Suo was not willing to let Xiao Chen take the risk, he understood Xiao Chen's character.
"In that case, we will wait for you to come up."
"Captain, you have to come up alive."
Feeling these people's sincere concern, Xiao Chen felt very warm in his heart. No matter where he was, it was a happy thing to have such a group of people following him sincerely.
After leaving the pirate ship, Xiao Chen withdrew his aura and allowed the Buddhist pendant on his chest to bring out its greatest effect. Then, he slowly made his way to the nest of the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks.
There were hundreds of Trees of Life there. To Xiao Chen, every tree was a supreme treasure.
The starry sea had an intense corrosive nature. Xiao Chen constantly drained his Veritable Essence Energy to form a protective barrier around him.
Xiao Chen could only stay for one to four hours. He absolutely could not stay any longer than that.
He tried his best not to fight. That way, he could stay even shorter.
With some anticipation, Xiao Chen slowly approached the nest of the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks.
