Chapter 258 - Chase (1/2)
A large number of fish appeared in the sea of blood.
It was a strange fish with an ugly appearance. Its large mouth was covered with two rows of sharp teeth, and its shriveled head had human-like facial features. It looked ferocious and terrifying.
It swam quickly in the sea. Although it was only about an inch long, its fighting strength was extremely shocking. Wherever it passed by, all the sea creatures it encountered would be bitten into pieces by it. This was how the sea of blood was formed.
'Sea Monster Fish?'
Heath quickly recognized the identity of this school of fish. It was a low-level demonized creature that was extremely aggressive. Although they were not strong, they were numerous. Even whale-type sea kings could be gnawed into a skeleton in a moment. It was one of the most troublesome sea creatures in the deep sea. Moreover...
Heath looked towards the center of the school of fish.
There was a blue-skinned monster in the middle of the school of fish. It had a human-like body and torso, but its blue skin was covered with fine scales. Its arms, legs, and even the outer side of its back had long fins. Its head was a large fish head, and its cheeks were covered with six gills.
Sirens!
This was one of the more powerful sea creatures in the deep sea. It belonged to the Seafolk Race, a sub-intelligence species, and was a Wizard-level life form. An adult Sirens could even reach the level of a Rank 2 Wizard.
Sirens had two sets of delivery systems. One set of spawning system and one set of viviparous system. The spawning system could reproduce asexually. However, what was produced was not a baby Siren, but a Sea Monster Fish. It was the ugly and strange fish in the surroundings.
Every year, Sirens would breed a large number of Sea Monster Fish as their spawns, helping them to dominate the sea world.
The powerful mental strength that Heath had felt earlier came from this Siren.
At this moment, the Siren was moving towards them with the Sea Monster Fish surrounding it. It was like a king of the deep sea, having a feast in the ocean.
A large number of Sea Monster Fish were rampaging in the sealed ocean. Wherever they passed, be it sea fish, shrimp, or even shellfish, other than the sea lamp jellyfish that couldn't be eaten... They were all torn into pieces by their sharp teeth and feasted on them.
Under such a terrifying attack, the marine creatures fled like crazy. However, this space had long been sealed by the Siren. The marine creatures' escape was destined to be in vain.
In an instant, the originally peaceful situation was gone. The entire sea area was dyed red by the blood and turned into hell.
”What a disgusting monster. The sea was turned into such a mess by it.” Nina's voice came from the spiritual sea, her tone full of displeasure.
Heath replied, ”Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest. There's nothing to say.”
Nina said, ”That's why I hate the Seafolk Race.”
Among the Nine Great Races, the Seafolk Race was not very popular. They were numerous and most of them were brutal. They always liked to be tyrannical and did not even put Wizards in their eyes.
”Be careful, they're coming!”
While they were chatting, a Sea Monster Fish chased a Blue-Shell Crab to the hillside and started fighting with it.
A low-level sea creature like the Blue-Shell Crab was obviously not a match for the Sea Monster Fish. After a few cracking sounds, it was bitten into pieces by the sharp teeth of the Sea Monster Fish.
However, the Sea Monster Fish that ate the Blue-Shell Crab did not leave. It seemed to have found something. It raised its head and its two big nostrils kept shrinking and sniffing around, as if it was looking for something.
Heath's eyebrows tightened. 'This is bad.'
Although he had used a potion to remove his spiritual power, the smell released by his body was still there. The situation was not good at such a close distance...
As expected.
The Sea Monster Fish soon discovered Heath hiding among the corals. The huge fish tail swayed and shot out like an arrow leaving the bow, charging straight at Heath.
The corals and reefs along the way could not stop the sharp teeth of the Sea Monster Fish. With a few clicks, they were bitten into pieces.
Seeing that the Sea Monster Fish was getting closer and closer to him, Heath was helpless. He could only leave the corals where he was hiding. With a swing of his fish tail, he also flew in a direction.
In an instant, a chase began.
Heath, who had transformed into a fish, quickly wagged his fish tail and darted across the mountain slope. The Sea Monster Fish chased after him fiercely.
Heath had the foresight to cast the transformation spell and transformed into one of the fastest fish in the sea, the Swordfish. Although this fish was less than an inch long, its agility and speed were among the best among the deep-sea fish species, this weak life form relied on it to survive in nature and not be eliminated.
It was worth mentioning that the transformation spell could not be changed into anything. To transform into a living creature, one had to have a sufficient understanding of this creature. This required a lot of time and effort to master. Because of this, most Wizards could only master the changes of a few commonly used creatures. Almost no Wizards would master a life form like the Swordfish, which was almost impossible to use.
However, Heath was different. The life sequences extracted by the system contained the complete life order of the creature. In other words, as long as he had extracted the life sequence of a creature, he could change into it, and this was also the main reason why he could change the Swordfish at this time.
Swish swish swish!
Crack crack crack!
The sound of arrows and the sound of sharp teeth biting continuously rang out.
Heath swam quickly among the corals, using his nimble and small body to pick up the crevices of rocks, coral crevices, and even the aquatic plants.
With this clever method, Heath had always left the Sea Monster Fish that only knew how to charge and bite behind him. Moreover, when he passed through a group of aquatic plants, the Sea Monster Fish was entangled by the aquatic plants on the spot.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
However, before Heath could let out a sigh of relief and find a place to hide again, the sound of grinding teeth came from above again. He saw that two more Sea Monster Fish were targeting him.
