"If Ying Fei didn't run to the depths of the Undercurrent Sea, then he must have been taken there by those two cultivators."
The Tool Spirit paused for a moment and then continued, "The depths of the Undercurrent Sea are dangerous. Those two cultivators must be plotting something by taking Ying Fei there!"
"Could it be that they want to go to the ancient battlefield to look for treasures?"
Gu Zheng frowned. He had heard from the Tool Spirit that a long time ago, an opportunity to become a Sage appeared in the depths of the Undercurrent Sea! At that time, many people went to the depths of the Undercurrent Sea to try their luck. However, no one found the opportunity to become a Sage, and many people died there.
"It's hard to say. We will only know when we see them." The Tool Spirit shook its head.
Two days passed unknowingly.
During these two days, Gu Zheng still didn't see the Undercurrent Sea Monster, but he saw two cultivators. However, the two cultivators only saw each other from afar and didn't have any interaction with each other. Presumably, they also came to the Undercurrent Sea to hunt the Undercurrent Sea Monster.
After two days, they had passed the periphery of the Undercurrent Sea. The probability of encountering the Undercurrent Sea Monster would be much higher if they went further. As for catching up to Ying Fei, it would take at least ten days, and that was assuming that Ying Fei was in a stationary state.
After passing the periphery of the Undercurrent Sea, the scenery in the sea was obviously different. The mountains looked higher, the plants in the sea were thicker, and there were more kinds of fish. There were even some demonic beasts in the Undercurrent Sea.
Compared to spirit beasts, demonic beasts and ferocious beasts were generally less intelligent, but their strength was also more powerful. For example, the Undercurrent Sea Monster was a special demonic beast in the Undercurrent Sea.
A demonic beast with a width of one zhang and a length of sixty to seventy zhang, like a giant leech, swam towards Gu Zheng. From afar, it spurted out something like ink.
This leech-like demonic beast was called 'Undercurrent Sea Tendon'. Its real strength wasn't very high, but in the special environment of the Undercurrent Sea, Jin Xian's heart would definitely tighten if he encountered it.
The Undercurrent Tendon was silver in color, so the ink it spat out turned into a black Undercurrent Tendon that swam towards Gu Zheng at an even faster speed. At the same time, Gu Zheng's body was controlled by the Undercurrent Sea Tendons, creating a huge undercurrent.
"You're courting death!"
Gu Zheng sneered in his heart. He had already sensed the undercurrent controlled by the sea tendons, so it was impossible for the sea tendons to use the undercurrent to trick him.
Gu Zheng flew to the left and dodged the undercurrent. At the same time, the Five Elements Immortal Sphere in his body vibrated and a large area of seawater was instantly frozen. The two undercurrent sea tendons were trapped inside.
"Break!"
Gu Zheng threw a punch forward. The energy of heaven and earth condensed into a huge fist and smashed heavily on the ice block.
Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ice, shattering it into pieces along with the sea tendons inside.
The Undercurrent Tendon's body was very flexible. If it wasn't an ice type immortal technique, it would be difficult for ordinary immortal tools and immortal techniques to cause damage to it.
The Undercurrent Tendon was already dead. With a wave of Gu Zheng's hand, a flickering bead flew out from the Undercurrent Vessel's corpse into his hand.
The bright bead was the Monster Core of the Undercurrent Tendon. Its value was equivalent to a high-grade food ingredient.
In addition to the Monster Core, almost all the skins of the demon beasts in the Undercurrent Sea were materials for refining tools. However, Gu Zheng didn't care about the skin of the Undercurrent Tendon. In addition, he was still worried about Ying Fei's safety, so he only took the Monster Core of the Undercurrent Tendon.
Another two days passed. In these two days, Gu Zheng didn't take the initiative to kill the demon beasts in the Undercurrent Sea. However, there were always some ignorant demon beasts that came to his door. He had already killed ten of them.
In these two days, Gu Zheng also encountered an Undercurrent Sea Monster. However, that Undercurrent Sea Monster was only in the Yellow Realm and didn't take the initiative to provoke him. Therefore, he didn't chase after it and kill it.
While still approaching Ying Fei's position on the Jade Talisman, Gu Zheng's brows suddenly twitched. There was a strange rock in the mountain below that caught his attention.
The color of the rock was similar to the ones in the vicinity. However, the shape was slightly different. This difference could be hidden from ordinary cultivators, but it couldn't be hidden from Gu Zheng who had the Eye of Dao. With the Eye of Dao, he could see that this so-called rock was transformed by the Undercurrent Sea Monster.
The meat of the Undercurrent Sea Monster was also an ingredient. However, its grade was only medium and it was very troublesome to cook. Therefore, very few people would eat its meat.
When the Undercurrent Sea Monster turned into a rock, it could be considered as a form of protection when it was resting. Although it was very powerful, it was not without its natural enemies in the Undercurrent Sea. This state of turning into a rock allowed it to avoid being discovered by its natural enemies.
If the Undercurrent Sea Monster that Gu Zheng discovered was an ordinary one, then it would be fine. However, it was a Profound Sea Monster that Gu Zheng needed for his mission.
The Five Elements Immortal Sphere in his body vibrated. Under the control of Gu Zheng, the water turned into a dragon and attacked the Undercurrent Sea Monster that had turned into a rock.
Although the Undercurrent Sea Monster was sleeping, it was still very sensitive to danger. After returning to its normal state, it let out a deafening roar.
The Undercurrent Sea Monsters were divided into four ranks: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. Every rank of Undercurrent Sea Monster looked different.
Yellow level Undercurrent Sea Demons looked like two-headed octopuses. Mystic level Undercurrent Sea Demons looked like flood dragons. Earth level Undercurrent Sea Demons were in human form. Their ferocious faces looked like the combination of a human and a fish. Heaven level Undercurrent Sea Demons were also in human form. It was said that they looked like spiders.
The flood dragon-like Undercurrent Sea Monster was also huge. It roared at the water dragon, causing many undercurrents to appear around the water dragon.
Almost all the monsters in the Undercurrent Sea had the ability to control undercurrents. The water dragon was destroyed by the undercurrents. The angry Undercurrent Sea Monster swam towards Gu Zheng.
Except for the Heaven Rank Undercurrent Sea Monster, all the other monsters in the Undercurrent Sea had relatively obvious weaknesses. As long as one could grasp their weakness, it would be easier to kill them. Just like the Undercurrent Sea Tendon that Gu Zheng encountered before, its weakness was that it was afraid of ice-type immortal arts. And now, the Profound Level Undercurrent Sea Demon's weakness was a relatively protruding skin on its abdomen.
Gu Zheng used the water dragon to attack the Undercurrent Sea Monster. He wanted it to come over. As soon as it came over, Gu Zheng used the energy of heaven and earth to bind it. At the same time, his figure flashed and he also approached the Undercurrent Sea Monster.
Although it had obvious weaknesses, the Profound Rank Undercurrent Sea Monster was still very strong. It quickly broke free from Gu Zheng's binding. Its huge tail swung towards Gu Zheng. Suddenly, a row of undercurrents rolled towards Gu Zheng.
Blink was a kind of spatial law. It was also effective in the Undercurrent Sea. Gu Zheng used Blink to dodge the undercurrents. When he appeared again, he was very close to the Undercurrent Sea Monster.
Although it didn't know where the enemy would appear again, the Undercurrent Sea Monster still reacted instinctively. Its body shook and undercurrents appeared around its six meter long body. The undercurrents spread in all directions. The scene was very spectacular.
Although it was the first time Gu Zheng faced the Undercurrent Sea Monster, he had recorded the Undercurrent Sea Monster's weaknesses and attack methods in the jade slip. So when he appeared again, the undercurrents around him had already spread.
Tang Mo was stabbed by Gu Zheng. It hit the bulging skin on the Undercurrent Sea Monster's abdomen.
The Undercurrent Sea Monster had no scales. Its skin was very flexible. It was not easy for ordinary Immortal Tools to pierce it. But Gu Zheng's Tang Mo was not ordinary. It was not difficult for it to pierce through the skin.
The three-foot-long Tang Mo was completely pierced by Gu Zheng's sword into the vital part of the sea monster's body. The great pain made the sea monster's enormous body roll in the water.
The Undercurrent Sea Monster had claws on its abdomen. But it only had a pair of claws. Its vital parts were just within reach of the two claws. While rolling, it scratched with its claws, trying to get rid of Gu Zheng. Not only that, but when it rolled, the undercurrents also spread out wave after wave.
Gu Zheng had already left. He knew that the Undercurrent Sea Monster's vital parts were injured and would go crazy. Naturally, he wouldn't stay there and take the brunt of the Undercurrent Sea Monster's claws and violent undercurrents.
As the Undercurrent Sea Monster rolled, silver liquid flowed out of its wounds. The Undercurrent Sea Monster's strength also decreased.
The silver liquid was the Undercurrent Sea Demon's source energy. Its loss had a huge impact on the Undercurrent Sea Demon. It wasn't that the Undercurrent Sea Demon hadn't thought of pulling Tang Mo out. Unfortunately, Gu Zheng had completely stabbed Tang Mo, not even leaving the hilt behind.
Although Gu Zheng wasn't by Sea Monster Undercurrent's side, he was only temporarily dodging before immediately launching another attack.
Against a special demonic beast like Sea Monster Undercurrent, Gu Zheng didn't use the usual fighting method. Instead, he controlled Tang Mo, who had entered Sea Monster Undercurrent's body, from a distance, stabbing towards Sea Monster Undercurrent's vital parts like a sword.
The Undercurrent Sea Monster's vital parts were a piece of bulging skin. Besides containing a great amount of source energy, there was also a meatball. When Tang Mo pierced into the meatball, the effect was no less severe than a human's heart being pierced through.
The Mystic Rank Sea Monster Undercurrent was dead, and its huge body fell down. Gu Zheng waved his hand, and Tang Mo jumped out of its corpse. Then, Gu Zheng controlled Tang Mo from a distance and slashed it twice. The Monster Core of the Undercurrent Sea Monster was also taken into his bag.
After taking the Monster Dan, Zhang Tie teleported its corpse into the Chaotic Space. After all, the Mystic Level Sea Monster was full of treasures. Its skin and bones could be used to forge weapons while its guts and brain could be used to make medicines.
It seemed that Gu Zheng didn't spend too much effort to deal with a Mystic Level Sea Monster. However, it didn't mean that the Mystic Level Sea Monster was weak. It only meant that the enemy it encountered was powerful enough.
Another 5 days passed. During this period, Gu Zheng saw more than 10 Undercurrent Sea Monsters. These Undercurrent Sea Monsters were either swimming far away or sleeping at the bottom of the sea. Gu Zheng only killed 4 of them. Among the 4 Undercurrent Sea Monsters, 3 were Yellow Level while the other one was Mystic Level.
During this period, Gu Zheng was very happy about one thing — — Ying Fei's light spot on the Concentric Talisman was constantly moving away from the depths of the Undercurrent Sea! Therefore, according to the distance calculated on the Concentric Talisman, Gu Zheng would be able to meet Ying Fei tomorrow afternoon.
Gu Zheng stopped moving forward and looked at the churning sand at the bottom of the sea. There, a Mystic Level Sea Monster was hunting for its prey.
The Mystic Level Sea Monster's prey was an Undercurrent Sea Serpent which was about the same size as it. The two Demonic Beasts were tangling and rolling in the Undercurrent Sea.
As Demonic Beasts of the Undercurrent Sea, the undercurrent didn't have any effect on them. They mainly fought with brute force and Demonic Beasts.
The Undercurrent Sea Serpent's scales stood up as it rapidly rolled towards the Undercurrent Sea Monster like a stirring sharp blade. From the gaps between its scales, wisps of cyan liquid flowed out and turned into foot-long eel-like creatures which all swam towards the vital parts of the Undercurrent Sea Monster.
The Undercurrent Sea Monster swam in a circle, not letting the Undercurrent Sea Serpent get out of its range of control, but also not letting the Undercurrent Sea Serpent's blade-like body touch it. As for those eel-like creatures which wanted to attack its vital parts, the Undercurrent Sea Monster waited for them to gather in a group, then opened its mouth and inhaled, sucking all of them into its mouth.
After sucking those eel-like creatures into its mouth, the Undercurrent Sea Monster opened its mouth and spat out those eel-like creatures. All of them shot towards the Undercurrent Sea Serpent. However, those eel-like creatures were no longer cyan as they were originally. They were wrapped in the Undercurrent Sea Monster's silver-white original energy and exploded near the Undercurrent Sea Serpent's body.
The moment those eel-like creatures entered the Undercurrent Sea Monster's mouth, their essence had changed. When they exploded, there was no cyan color at all. All of them were the silver-white original energy of the Undercurrent Sea Monster.
The silver-white creatures produced by the explosion were like living creatures. They drilled into the Undercurrent Sea Serpent's scales.
The Undercurrent Sea Serpent writhed in pain as if it was being corroded. Its body shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye. Streams of blood-red liquid flowed out as it shriveled and was sucked into the Undercurrent Sea Monster's mouth.
Gu Zheng made a move while the Undercurrent Sea Monster was eating. The Five Elements Immortal Sphere in his body vibrated, and with the Undercurrent Sea Monster as the center, the sea water quickly retreated.
The Undercurrent Sea Monster was shocked, but it couldn't stop eating just because it wanted to. After a slight delay, the situation it faced was like a fish that was thrown into an empty room.
The Undercurrent Sea Monster was bouncing in the space created by Gu Zheng's Water Control Art. Although it was under the sea water, and it would be pushed into a deep pit as it bounced, it still couldn't really merge into the sea water.
Of course, Gu Zheng wouldn't give the Undercurrent Sea Monster a chance to return to the Undercurrent Sea. The Mad Blade's power would be reduced in the sea, but in this space, its power wouldn't be affected at all.
Gu Zheng's Mad Blade slashed out with full power. The terrified Undercurrent Sea Monster spat out a large amount of white things towards the black blade light.
The white things the Undercurrent Sea Monster spat out were shaped like jellyfish. They were formed from the Undercurrent Sea Monster's original energy and had a very strong binding power.
Unfortunately, the Undercurrent Sea Monster was nothing outside the Undercurrent Sea. The jellyfish it spat out didn't have the water of the Undercurrent Sea as a medium. Not only could it not create an undercurrent, it couldn't even fully spread out. When it came into contact with the Mad Blade, it was cut into pieces.
The third Mystic Rank Undercurrent Sea Demon was killed. Compared to the previous two Mystic Rank Undercurrent Sea Demons, this one had died the most vexingly.
