Thump! Thump!
The four of them descended from the sky and rushed into the sea, creating four waves that were neither big nor small. The four of them reached the depth of two thousand zhang in just a blink of an eye.
The four of them weren't moving fast. Even Lu An could move at a constant speed without consuming too much energy. Anyway, this was the information from ten days ago. Although the Heart of Earth wasn't moving fast, it would take the four of them two to four hours to catch up with it.
As the four of them advanced, their senses spread out in all directions. At a depth of only twenty thousand zhang, everyone's senses could reach a diameter of thirty thousand zhang. As for the depth, they could sense at least twenty-five thousand zhang below the surface of the sea, which was more than enough for them to search for the Heart of the Earth.
The Heart of Earth was almost ten thousand zhang in diameter. Once such a big thing appeared in their senses, it was impossible for the four of them not to sense it.
Although the depth of two thousand zhang was very shallow for the four of them and couldn't affect their competence, they didn't lower their vigilance. This place was the Second North Sea Area, which was on the opposite side of the Eight Ancient Continents. When the four of them thought about their current location, they couldn't relax.
Soon, the four of them had moved forward at a constant speed for more than one hour. During this time, they didn't encounter any strange beasts or dangers. According to their estimation, the Heart of Earth would appear in their senses. At the same time, danger would befall them.
There should be many strange beasts resting on the Heart of Earth. They could even play on it. If the four of them could use the snake gallbladder's aura to protect them, they could directly enter the Heart of Earth and take a stone.
The four of them continued to imagine the upcoming battle. Just like that, nearly an hour later, Dong Huashun's body suddenly trembled!
"Wait!" Dong Huashun shouted immediately.
The other three also stopped, looking at Dong Huashun. Dong Huashun knitted his brows, talking to Lu An with a serious face. "Hegemon, there are strange beasts in the deep sea ahead of us. More than one!"
Lu An was shaken. He asked, "Is there the Heart of Earth?"
"I can't sense it," Dong Huashun answered immediately. "These strange beasts aren't fighting. They seem to be playing with each other."
Playing with each other?
Lu An frowned and said, "Are they playing outside the Heart of the Earth?"
"That's possible." Dong Huashun nodded.
Lu An pondered for a moment. Since Dong Huashun could sense the other party's presence while the other party couldn't sense Dong Huashun's presence, it meant that Dong Huashun was stronger than this strange beast. After thinking for a while, Lu An said, "Don't worry, let's observe for a while. If these two strange beasts keep moving forward while playing, then it should be the Heart of Earth."
Dong Huashun nodded. He obeyed Lu An's order and continued to observe. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the two strange beasts to begin moving towards the east. But after a while, they stopped and played around again.
After hearing this news, the four of them knew that the Heart of the Earth was right in front of them.
The three of them looked at Lu An again, waiting for Lu An's next order. In fact, Lu An didn't know what a foolproof plan was, but if he could solve it peacefully, he would try not to make a move first. He said softly, "Let's approach slowly and see how these strange beasts react."
The three of them nodded and followed Lu An forward. At the same time, they continued to descend. Immediately, the two playful strange beasts below appeared in the other three's perception range. The strength of these two strange beasts wasn't high, only at the Seventh Order.
Soon, the Heart of Earth appeared in the four's perception range.
Just as Yao said, the outline of the Heart of Earth slowly appeared in the four's perception. Such a huge arc had to be at least eighty thousand zhang in diameter! It was impossible for strange beasts to have such a huge body. Only natural creatures without divine sense could have such a huge body.
As their perception enveloped the huge Heart of Earth, some special outlines gradually appeared on the Heart of Earth.
There's a strange beast!
The four of them were shocked. Although they were mentally prepared, they still couldn't help but frown!
This strange beast's body was huge, and from the aura it was emitting, it was at least mid-Eighth Order!
A strange beast's body formed in Dong Huashun and Ceng Ping's perception, and the outline of the second strange beast began to appear.
At this moment, the Mystical Beast that had just entered the Heart of the Earth trembled. It immediately lifted its head from the Heart of the Earth and looked up!
The direction it was looking at was where the four of them were!
Dong Huashun and Ceng Ping trembled. Being able to perceive each other at the same time meant that this strange beast's strength was definitely not inferior to the two of them!
"Roar!!!"
Suddenly, this strange beast let out a huge roar. The terrifying sound swept towards the four of them with a powerful impact, forcing them to stop!
More importantly, this strange beast's roar directly awakened all the strange beasts around the Heart of Earth!
Immediately, all the resting strange beasts on the Heart of Earth moved. At first, they looked around in confusion, but after hearing the sound of their companions, they raised their heads and looked up.
Right at this time, a strange beast suddenly opened its mouth. In an instant, a green lightning ball with a diameter of a hundred zhang appeared in the dark sea and shot towards the four of them!
Boom!!!
The speed of this green lightning ball was extremely fast, and it rushed straight towards the four of them! Seeing this, Lu An did not dodge, nor did he attack. Instead, it was Dong Huashun who attacked.
Dong Huashun immediately stepped out from the four of them and slapped out his right palm. In an instant, a huge golden light barrier appeared a hundred zhang in front of the four of them, forming a two-hundred-zhang defensive layer to protect the four of them.
Boom!!!
The collision of the two caused a huge explosion, and the golden light barrier also fluctuated violently. However, it was just a fluctuation, and there was no hole in it.
In the explosion, the green lightning ball exploded and turned into countless lightning bolts bursting out in all directions, completely illuminating the huge sea around it. In addition, Dong Huashun's golden light emitted a dazzling light in the sea, making the nearby sea as bright as day!
Immediately, the two sides could see each other clearly, including things outside of the perception range.
When Lu An and the other three saw the situation on the Heart of Earth, they could not help but frown, and their eyes became very serious.
Just the number of strange beasts living on the Heart of Earth was more than ten, and this did not include the strange beasts roaming around the periphery of the Heart of Earth!
Although the sizes of these strange beasts were different, with the bigger ones being about thirteen hundred zhang, and the smaller ones over ten thousand zhang, their shapes were exactly the same, indicating that they were all strange beasts of the same race. These strange beasts had wings and legs, just like birds in the sky. Their necks were thick and long, and their heads were also very large. Their neck and head together probably made up half of their body weight. Judging from this strange beast's attack just now, it was likely that a large part of its strength came from these two parts.
Just then, one of the mystical beasts on the Heart of Earth roared angrily again. Immediately, all the mystical beasts playing around the Heart of Earth trembled and swam into the darkness. Soon, they disappeared from the four people's sight and senses.
This was clearing the area.
The four of them became even more solemn. Could it be that these strange beasts were about to make a move?
In such a confrontation, eight of the ten strange beasts had already released their auras. Among them, six were mid-stage Eighth Order, and two were late-stage Eighth Order. Just the combined strength of these eight strange beasts far exceeded the strength of Lu An's group, but to be honest, after the previous experience of winning four against eight, if it was just these eight strange beasts, the four of them might not be so nervous.
What really made Lu An's group of four solemn were the two strange beasts that did not emit any aura.
These two strange beasts' eyes were piercingly cold, completely different from the other strange beasts in the surroundings! More importantly, these two strange beasts were located at the centermost position of the Heart of Earth, and below these two strange beasts was the target of Lu An's operation this time!
However, the target was right in front of them, but the four of them did not dare to move at all. Their eyes were all focused on these two strange beasts.
If these two strange beasts' strength exceeded late-stage Eighth Order, then the best choice for them now was — escape!
