Chapter 613 (1/2)

In Long Yi's previous life, he had heard about the existence of underground seas, but he had always thought that they were just speculation. Now, that legend had truly appeared in this mystical world. The Smelting Death Cave beneath the sea was indeed very mystical.

Karl was excited to see this sea. Although most of the Sea Races were amphibians, they truly felt free and unrestrained only in the sea. For them, the sea was as important as air was for humans.

Long Yi looked at that somewhat blackish seawater for a while. He then slightly frowned and said, ”There seem to be some problems with this sea.”

”What's the problem? How about I go and examine it?” Karl said and walked toward the sea.

Long Yi nodded his head and didn't stop Karl. He just wrapped his spirit power around Karl so that he could save him in time if something went wrong. He just felt that this sea was somewhat unusual; he remained uncertain about what the problem was.

Karl jumped into the seawater, creating ripples, and after a few air bubbles rose, the sea surface calmed down. However, Long Yi could sense that Karl was still swimming around beneath the surface, so he was not too worried.

Before long, Karl's head popped out of the sea surface. He then swam ash.o.r.e while panting.

”How was it?” Long Yi asked. Seeing Karl's expression, he knew that this seawater truly had a problem.

”There are many poisonous substances mixed in this seawater. I was basically unable to breathe. I truly cannot believe that there is any life within this kind of seawater,” Karl took a deep breath and said. Clearly, he had been holding his breath in the water.

With the strength of Long Yi, flying past this underground sea with Karl was truly not a difficult matter. Moreover, he had Bai Yu, a flying G.o.d beast. Merely, for an unknown reason, Long Yi vaguely felt that this was not the right way. It seemed that the poisonous problem with this sea was not the key point.

Long Yi raised his head and watched those strange birds circling in the air. Then, rubbing the beard stubble on his chin, he became lost in thought.

Karl didn't dare to disturb Long Yi. Since the scene in front of him was completely different from how the survivors of Smelting Death Cave had described, he truly had nothing to use as a reference to determine the truth of this matter.

A good while later, the roars of tiger cub, Fire Qilin, and other beasts came from some distance away accompanied by their energy fluctuations. The strange birds circling in the air also cried and disorderly flew everywhere as the seawater along the sh.o.r.e rose more than ten meters high.

Not long after, the energy fluctuations calmed down. Then, tiger cub, Fire Qilin, and the others dragged an over 20-meters long strange corpse in front of Long Yi.

Long Yi was speechless. The hunting ability of Little Three and the rest was truly first-rate. Other than some creatures in the sea and the strange birds circling in the sky, Long Yi couldn't sense other living beings nearby, but Little Three had found such a huge strange beast.

Little Three called toward Long Yi like a puppy while swaying its tail. It had been a while since it had last eaten the delicious meat roasted by Long Yi.

Karl received a great shock. At this moment, he felt like he couldn't be surprised ever again in his life. Staying with Long Yi, he had become numb to even the most marvelous things. If he hadn't, his heart would've been shaken so many times that he would die young.

Long Yi sized up this huge strange beast. Its entire body was covered with a layer of brownish-yellow thick scales. There was a dagger-like horn on its forehead. Its limbs had 8 fingers, and all were steel-like hard and sharp claws. Its eyelid had a layer of transparent membrane. Clearly, this was a trait evolved to adapt to underground life. At first glance, Long Yi knew that it was an earth-attributed beast with great defense, and he knew that this strange beast was some kind of underground-dwelling animal. Generally, this kind of animal had thick skin and rough flesh. It was not a good material for food.

”Little Three, you usually have good eyes. How could you be so blind this time?” Long Yi kicked the b.u.t.t of Little Three.

Little Three whimpered with grievances. Then, opening its mouth, a light flashed, easily cutting open the stomach of this strange beast. Five head-sized yellow-sh.e.l.led eggs rolled out along with its internal organs. As it turned out, Little Three had had its eyes on the eggs in the stomach of this strange beast from the beginning.

Long Yi knocked these eggs a few times, and scanning them with his spirit power, he sensed faint wisps of life. This showed that these eggs were fine. It seemed that Little Three had discovered this mother strange beast before the embryos had formed. It also meant that there must be a male strange beast nearby.

At that time, Fire Qilin ordered that Variant Fire Qilin to bring some trees and used Qilin Holy Fire to start a fire.

Long Yi looked at the vast sea for a while and decided to think while eating. He threw those five eggs into the flame and began roasting, but he quickly discovered that those five eggs emitted a yellow radiance and weren't damaged at all.

Long Yi burned with anger. That demonic corpse that had been so hard to kill like a c.o.c.kroach had already made him incomparably gloomy, and now, he encountered obstacles when all he wanted was to roast some simple eggs.

Long Yi directly used his spirit power to pick up these eggs and made Fire Qilin use Qilin Holy Fire to roast them. He didn't believe that he would be unable to roast these eggs.

The heat of Qilin Holy Fire was far greater than a thousand degrees. Whether it was steel or rock, they would melt at this point, but these eggs were holding on. Moreover, Long Yi saw that these eggs could absorb the heat of Qilin Holy Fire. This should be a kind of self-defense mechanism.
