Chapter 1628 (1/2)
Sea Tyrant</spoiler>
Inside the tree hole, Xiao Chen entered deep thought.
He had heard clearly everything the old man said, and was considering countermeasures.
This was an opportunity. However, if Xiao Chen did not grasp it properly, the result would be the same. It would just be a matter of dying in the jaws of a Black Star Sawtooth Shark or in the hands of a sect expert.
Actually, there was not much difference. In fact, the latter might be worse. At least the former would be a quick death.
Xiao Chen waited quietly and observed first, to see how that old man intended to deal with the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks.
Even if the Black Star Sawtooth Shark chief looked ferocious but was weak, the hundreds of other Black Star Sawtooth Sharks would not be easy to deal with.
Each mature Black Star Sawtooth Shark would be at least as strong as an early-stage Major Primal Core cultivator. Some were even as strong as a late-stage Major Primal Core cultivator.
These Black Star Sawtooth Sharks were not much weaker than the gray-clad old man.
Xiao Chen took special note that this old man and two youths were not riding a s.h.i.+p. Instead, there was an oceanic ferocious beast under them.
That ferocious beast was a tortoise-like beast that resembled the Black Tortoise. Clearly, it had been tamed.
After four hours, two red dots appeared in the sky. As the red dots approached, Xiao Chen discovered that they were two giant sea birds with ferocious gazes.
When Xiao Chen, who was in the tree hole, saw this scene, he felt somewhat shocked.
The sect that the gray-robed old man belonged to had to have some special means to tame ferocious beasts. If not, then they were a sect that focused on taming ferocious beasts.
”Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+”
The two ferocious sea birds hovered above the sea. As they flapped their wings, they instantly kicked up one-kilometer-tall waves.
A strong wind blew over the sea, rumbling strangely.
Xiao Chen did not recognize this sea bird. Their claws were like metal hooks flickering with cold light. Their wings were like sharp scimitars. As they flapped their wings, they were like sharp, unsheathed sabers.
The feathers on the bird looked like metal, s.h.i.+ning with a metallic gleam.
”Senior Brother, why did you call for us so urgently, even getting us to bring the Cold Steel Eagles—something rare in our sect?”
”We spent a lot of effort to get the Sect Master's permission for this.”
Two slightly younger old men in attire similar to the gray-clad old man's stood on the sea birds.
The gray-clad old man smiled and projected his aura once more. Then, the storm caused by the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks calmed again.
”Black Star Sawtooth Sharks. That is…”
”The Starry Sea Fluorescent Tree! The sea's Tree of Life!”
The eyes of the two old men on the Cold Steel Eagles immediately lit up as they instantly understood the gray-clad old man's intentions.
The gargantuan Tree of Life was several kilometers tall, floating on the surface of the sea. Xiao Chen remained well hidden in the insignificant tree hole.
As he looked at the two Cold Steel Eagles, he felt doubtful. Could Cold Steel Eagles deal with all the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks?
However, his doubts were dispelled in the next moment. He learned that the sea birds that could fly in the starry sea were all tyrants of the sea.
Many creatures and things in the world countered each other. The Black Star Sawtooth Sharks were very strong; hence, most late-stage Major Primal Core Venerates were reluctant to clash with them.
However, everything in the world had its own natural predator.
That was right. For the Black Star Sawtooth Shark, that would be this Cold Steel Eagle, a famous ferocious beast in the Grave Sea. The feathers on its body were as sharp as cold steel, its body as hard as metal.
The Cold Steel Eagle did not fear the corrosion of the starry sea. Just one of its feathers was said to be worth a city, extremely hard to get.
The two old men jumped onto the tortoise beast's back and blew a small exquisite flute. The pleasant melody of the flute immediately spread everywhere, echoing over the surface of the sea, and sounded exceptionally sweet.
When the flute trilled, the two Cold Steel Eagles immediately entered a combat state, spreading their wings and attacking.
Every time the Cold Steel Eagles swooped down, their claws would gouge out six b.l.o.o.d.y wounds in the bodies of the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks.
The Cold Steel Eagles' sharp beaks easily pecked holes in the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks' skin.
More importantly, these Cold Steel Eagles were ice-attributed. The wounds they inflicted froze, unable to recover.
Their speed was as fast as lightning. The Black Star Sawtooth Sharks could not catch them at all.
Soon, the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks cried out miserably. The sea quickly dyed red, giving off a heavy, b.l.o.o.d.y stench.
As for the Black Star Sawtooth Shark chief, which posed the greatest threat to the Cold Steel Eagles, it was on its last breath. The Tree of Life had nearly drained it, and only an empty husk was left.
