Chapter 22: The Underwater Cave (1/2)

It had been more than 100 years since time was halted. Wei Huo's physical quality had been constantly improving as he trained day and night in the past 100 years. In addition to Qi Cultivation, he also accumulated immense cellular energy.

His throw was powerful enough to destroy the world. The terrifying blare that reverberated through the silent sky, the white light that flashed past, and the deafening blast that blew off when the javelin hit its target. It all showed how formidable his throw was.

That javelin broke through the sky and jabbed into the gigantic creature's skin. Wei Huo heard the gigantic creature let out an ear-splitting roar as the intense vibration drilled a giant hole on its skin.

It sounded just like how a human would scream if a hair needle penetrated one's skin powerfully.

However, no matter how powerful it was, not much damage would be done if the needle did not hit any vital parts.

What if poison was smeared on the needle?

Wei Huo lifted another javelin. He saw the part of the creature's flesh that was hit by the first javelin turning into a reddish-purple color.

There was hope!

Wei Huo threw another javelin with all his might. It flashed across the sky so rapidly one could not even see it. Once again, it jabbed into the creature's skin and the intense vibration shattered its skin. Blood flowed out from the hole on the creature's skin and the sea was dyed red.

The gigantic creature did not realize who was attacking it as it did not have eyes. It was a deep-sea creature living under the deep ocean. The creature did not need eyes because it was dark under the ocean. Moreover, Wei Huo was a terrestrial organism standing on his ship. The aquatic creature did not know what kind of enemy it was facing as that was the first time it was floating on the ocean's surface.

However, the creature sensed things were going wrong when it felt a tinge of numbness on its wound.

That was a threat from Thanatos!

The gigantic deep-sea creature resisted and struggled by floundering about in the water while shimmying its tail.

However, it had to be said that this method was very effective. The ocean surface swayed back and forth wildly as the gigantic creature kept floundering about. Wei Huo failed to throw another javelin as he could not balance himself. Moreover, he had to control the helm to prevent the boat from colliding into that gigantic creature.

The gigantic creature started to submerge into the ocean as the ocean surface calmed down. Wei Huo instantly lifted a javelin and threw it. The javelin smeared in poison blast through the sky and landed on the corner of the creature's mouth. Then, it pierced through the creature's throat.

Finally, that throw hit the creature's vital point. The creature started to struggle as the poison diffused into its body. The ship bobbed up and down as a tsunami rushed towards Wei Huo's ship. The ship would have been scattered and smashed if the quality was not strong enough.

The tsunami did not last long. After a few minutes, the ocean became tranquil. The gigantic creature stopped struggling as the poison had dispersed into the brain through the blood. Death was inevitable.

At that moment, the quest evaluation for Wei Huo's Fishing quest appeared.

”It's a Mutated large whale. Awarded 97 out of 100 points.”

97 was the highest score that Wei Huo achieved ever since he had received the fishing quests. He might not be able to capture whales that scored higher than that whale if he gave up completing the quest now.

Wei Huo decided to complete the quest rather than continuing it so that he could receive that random game item.

Wei Huo chose to complete the quest. After a few moments, a new notification appeared.

”Quest 'Fishing' completed and you scored 97 points. You have been rewarded with a 'Shadow Blade'.
