Chapter 327 Big Fish Fight
Chapter 327 Big Fish Fight
The humming sound rang out in waves, shaking the entire sea surface.
"what sound?"
Chu Weifeng rubbed the goose bumps on his arms. He was a wolf by nature and had lived in the north before. Later he was exiled to the south and had never been to the seaside.
The first time I heard this ethereal and ancient sound, it seemed more mysterious than any other beast, and it also felt a bit miserable.
"Could it be Xuanwu? His voice sounds very sad. Is he in trouble?"
Even though He Jing had memories of his previous life, he had never been to the beach. At least he didn't know what these humming sounds were.
"This is the cry of a whale. Huo Qilin once said that Xuanwu was a giant sea turtle. So it's not the sound made by Xuanwu, but it should be related to him."
Jiang Changle carefully observed the situation around him and found that their ship had passed through the black fog, and the sea area behind seemed to be normal.
The seawater is of normal color and density, but it takes on an eerie red glow under the crimson moon.
Gusts of night wind blew up the turbulent waves, causing their small boat to rise and fall. The wind not only carried the calls of whales, but also the sound of waves.
Fortunately, they all had strong spiritual powers, otherwise the boat might have been overturned by the waves.
Jiang Changle's words left Chu Weifeng stunned. He almost forgot to control the boat. "Fish? How could a fish make such a loud noise?"
The common fish in the river only weighed a hundred pounds, so how big would a sea fish be to make such a loud noise? Chu Weifeng couldn't imagine it anyway.
Before Jiang Changle could explain it to him, He Jing spoke first, "Aren't there big carnivorous fish? Only big fish can make such a huge noise."
Jiang Changle at the bow nodded and said, "The ocean is very mysterious. There are many things that can make sounds, including fish, the friction of collapsing glaciers, and so on.
This humming sound is the cry of whales, and it sounds like there are quite a few of them. You'd better be careful, there must be something wrong in the deep sea.
The coast is calm, likely due to a formation blocking the flow of demonic energy. Someone is protecting the coast and its inhabitants, but they can't stop the demonic energy from escaping, causing the current situation near the coast."
No matter how you look at it, this seems to be Xuanwu's work, which shows that he has a sense of justice, but is somewhat helpless in his situation.
Chu Weifeng had come into contact with the evil spirit before and was not afraid of it. He was now very curious about the whale. It should be bigger than the king crocodile in the Black River, right?
"Let's go take a look."
Chu Weifeng increased the speed of the boat. Even though the sea was rough, their boat still reached the deep end steadily and quickly. However, the deeper they went, the stronger the smell of blood in the air became.
Suddenly, "There is a battle ahead!" Jiang Changle had just finished speaking when he saw a big fish jumping out from the bottom of the sea not far ahead.
Even though the big fish didn't completely jump out of the sea, its body was still bigger than a house. It blocked the red moon as soon as it came out, leaving the three of them in darkness.
The big fish opened its mouth and roared, and even its bulky body could show a bit of urgency and sorrow.
But before the big fish's bulky body crashed into the sea, two more big fish, half its size, opened their pointed mouths, their sharp teeth flashing coldly under the red moon, and they all bit the body of the previous square-headed fish.
"Oh my god! What's going on?" Chu Weifeng couldn't help but panic. That huge fish looked like it weighed nearly a thousand tons, right? Could it really be resisted by humans?
"Are sharks hunting whales?" Jiang Changle always felt that it was not that simple.
"Then, then, what should we do? Should we help? Who should we help?" Chu Weifeng doubted whether they could help?
Just as the whale was about to be bitten, and just as the people were getting anxious, they saw another whale rushing up from the side.
The huge whale did not open its mouth to bite, but instead charged straight towards the two sharks.
This sudden change left the three of them stunned. Chu Weifeng clung to the side of the boat, his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't believe what was happening.
He Jingze frowned, his eyes fixed on the battle in front of him, as if he was thinking about something.
Jiang Changle quickly calmed down and whispered, "The situation is not good. The battle between the whale and the shark does not seem like ordinary predation. It seems more like it is being influenced and controlled by something."
"What affected you?" Chu Weifeng couldn't help but ask, with a hint of nervousness in his voice.
Jiang Changle pointed at the faint black air in the air and said, "Demonic energy. These marine creatures may have been corrupted by the demonic energy and lost their sanity. Look at those two sharks, their eyes are glowing red, which is obviously abnormal."
He Jing nodded and added, "Also, the whales sounded very sad, as if they were calling for help. They might also be resisting the erosion of the demonic energy, but the situation is not optimistic."
Chu Weifeng swallowed hard and gripped the oar tightly. "What should we do? We can't just sit there and watch them kill each other, right?"
Jiang Changle pondered for a moment and said decisively: "We can't intervene directly in the battle, that would be too dangerous. But we can try to use spiritual power to dispel some of the evil spirits and see if we can make them regain their sanity."
He Jing nodded in agreement, "Give it a try, it's better than doing nothing."
The three of them quickly reached a consensus, each circulating their spiritual power and beginning to condense soft rays of light.
Jiang Changle formed seals with her hands and muttered something. Then a light golden halo spread out from her hands and slowly floated towards the direction of the battle.
He Jing and Chu Weifeng followed closely behind, releasing their spiritual power respectively, which intertwined with Jiang Changle's spiritual power to form a light net.
The light net slowly approached the center of the battle and gradually enveloped the huge marine creatures.
At first, the sharks and whales didn't seem to notice any changes and continued to bite and collide violently.
But as the light net penetrated, the red light in the shark's eyes gradually weakened and its movements slowed down.
"It works!" Chu Weifeng shouted excitedly.
However, just when they thought the situation was improving, suddenly, there was a violent vibration under the sea, as if some huge monster was approaching rapidly.
Jiang Changle's face changed and he shouted hurriedly: "Be careful! Something is coming!"
Before he could finish his words, the surface of the sea suddenly exploded, and a huge tentacle stretched out from the water, heading straight towards their ship.
The three reacted extremely quickly and jumped away. The boat was smashed to pieces by the tentacles, and wood chips flew everywhere.
"What the hell is this thing!" Chu Weifeng landed on a piece of driftwood on the sea in a panic, looking at the huge tentacle in horror.
Jiang Changle's face was solemn. "It's a deep-sea monster. It seems that the evil spirit has not only affected whales and sharks, but also awakened something even more terrifying."
He Jing clenched the sword in his hand and said in a deep voice: "We can't let it continue to cause destruction, otherwise the entire sea area will fall into chaos."
The three of them looked at each other, nodded in understanding, and then each of them used their spiritual power to attack the huge tentacle.
Jiang Changle's spiritual power turned into an ice blade, He Jing's sword light was like a rainbow, and Chu Weifeng summoned a wind blade. The attacks of the three people fell on the tentacles at the same time, making a deafening roar.
However, the tentacle only trembled slightly, seemingly unharmed. Immediately afterwards, more tentacles emerged from beneath the surface of the sea, sweeping towards the three people.
"No, its defense is too strong!" Chu Weifeng gritted his teeth.
Jiang Changle quickly calmed down and whispered, "We have to find its weakness and attack its body directly!"
He Jing nodded, "I'll attract its attention, and you guys find a chance to dive underwater!"
After saying that, He Jing leaped up, and the sword flashed like lightning, slashing straight at the tentacles.
Chu Weifeng and Jiang Changle took the opportunity to dive into the water and swam towards the body of the deep-sea monster.
It was pitch black underwater, with only a faint red light shining through the water.
Relying on their spiritual perception, the two quickly locked onto the location of the deep-sea monster.
It was a giant octopus-like creature with black lines all over its body, and it had obviously been completely corroded by demonic energy.
"That's it!" Jiang Changle whispered, then formed seals with his hands, and his spiritual power condensed into a sharp water blade, piercing straight into the giant beast's eyes.
Chu Weifeng was not to be outdone and summoned wind blades to cooperate with Jiang Changle's attack.
The two attacks hit at the same time. The deep-sea monster let out a painful roar, its body twisted violently, and its tentacles waved wildly, stirring up the sea water.
"Retreat quickly!" Jiang Changle shouted hurriedly, and the two of them swam away quickly to avoid the giant beast's counterattack.
At the same time, He Jing also noticed the giant beast's weakness and took the opportunity to cut off one of its tentacles with a sword.
The beast's roar became even more shrill, and its body began to slowly sink, obviously having suffered serious injuries.
The three of them gathered together and watched the body of the deep-sea monster become smaller and smaller, and finally returned to its normal size and gradually sank to the bottom of the sea. They finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's finally solved." Chu Weifeng wiped the sea water off his face and let out a long sigh.
Jiang Changle's brows were still furrowed. "It's not over yet. The source of the evil spirit has not been found. I'm afraid the whales and sharks that were purified previously will relapse.
If this issue is not addressed, life in the ocean will continue to suffer.”
He Jing nodded, "That's right, we have to go deeper and find the source of the evil energy."
The three of them took a short rest and then headed towards deeper waters. They knew that the road ahead would be even more dangerous, but they had no choice. Only by completely eliminating the evil spirit could they restore peace to the ocean.
The sea breeze was still howling, and the sea surface under the red moon looked particularly strange.
The figures of the three people gradually disappeared in the vast ocean, leaving only the sound of waves, as if telling the ancient secrets of this sea area.
Soon, a huge whirlpool appeared in front of Jiang Changle and the other two. Strangely, nothing was caught in it.
The three of them soared up from the wooden board, but they couldn't see the bottom of the whirlpool, as if it were a bottomless black hole.
"It seems to be protected by a formation." Chu Weifeng was quite familiar with military formations and could see the clue at a glance.
"That must be very dangerous. Do you think the Xuanwu Divine Beast could be among them? Besides the demonic energy, does it have any other opponents?"
He Jing was more cautious. He did not allow Jiang Changle and Chu Weifeng to enter the battle rashly.
“It’s hard to say. The demonic energy is because our Beast World is too close to the Demon Star. When the divine beasts’ spiritual power is exhausted, they will be affected.
When we rescued the Fire Qilin and the Dragon before, neither of the two beasts had a direct opponent."
Jiang Changle told the two of them about her previous two experiences, and she herself was also very careful.
"What should we do now?" Chu Weifeng looked at the bottomless whirlpool in front of him and felt a little scared.
Although he was bold and proficient in formations, he also knew that this strange formation was no ordinary one and that rushing in rashly would be very dangerous.
He turned to look at Jiang Changle and He Jing and asked, "How about we go around? Or look for another entrance?"
Jiang Changle shook his head, staring at the vortex solemnly. "I'm afraid it's impossible to go around it. This vortex is obviously the source of the demonic energy, and the formation is so powerful, which means there must be something important hidden inside.
The Xuanwu beast is likely inside. If we don't go in, the demonic energy problem won't be completely resolved."
He Jing pondered for a moment and said, "It is indeed too risky to directly break into the formation. However, since my wife and Xiaofeng have some knowledge of military formations, perhaps we can try to crack this formation and find a way to enter safely."
Chu Weifeng scratched his head and said helplessly, "I have some knowledge of military formations, but I'm not sure about this kind of ancient formation. However, since you all think we must go in, then I'll give it a try."
Jiang Changle nodded, "Let's think of a solution together. I'm quite sensitive to spiritual energy, let's see if we can find the weak point of the formation.
Xiaofeng, try to analyze the structure of the formation to see if there are any patterns. Ajing will be in charge of the alert to prevent any accidents."
The three of them had clear division of labor and took action immediately.
Jiang Changle closed his eyes and gently pressed his hands on the sea surface. His spiritual power spread out like silk threads, trying to sense the flow of spiritual power in the whirlpool.
Chu Weifeng squatted on the wooden board and drew complex symbols in the sea with his fingers, trying to deduce the structure of the formation.
Time passed minute by minute, the sea breeze was still howling, and the light of the red moon shone on the three people, reflecting their solemn expressions.
Suddenly, Jiang Changle opened his eyes and whispered, "I sensed an unusual spiritual fluctuation, seemingly coming from the southeast of the vortex. That might be the weak point of the formation."
Upon hearing this, Chu Weifeng immediately looked up towards the southeast, deduced carefully, and nodded, "Indeed, the flow of spiritual energy there is somewhat disordered, which may be a gap in the formation.
However, we have to be careful, as this gap can be a trap."
Jiang Changle clenched his weapon and said in a deep voice, "No matter what, we have to give it a try. Xiaofeng, you lead the way. Ajing, you provide cover, and I'll cover the rear."
The three of them quickly adjusted their positions and slowly approached the southeast direction of the vortex.
As they approached, the spiritual energy fluctuations in the vortex became stronger and stronger, and an oppressive atmosphere filled the air.
Chu Weifeng led the way carefully, and the spiritual power in his hands turned into runes, trying to stabilize the flow of spiritual power around him.
Just as they were about to approach the gap, suddenly, a low roar came from the whirlpool, as if something was alarmed.
Immediately afterwards, a huge black shadow rushed out from the vortex and pounced straight towards the three people!
