Chapter 496 (2/2)

“I miss that so much…” Sui Xiong sighed. He continued to cast the spell to trace the way along which he had come here before.

This time, it was much more difficult because Sui Xiong had been swimming in the deep sea to search for this place before.

Relying on the scene reflected in the circle of light, Sui Xiong followed the footprints he had left behind before and went backwards. He stopped several times and then went on walking, adjusting the effect of the spell in order to ensure efficiency.

After a long time, he finally came to the shallow sea and saw himself fighting with the single-horned giant whale through the spell.

Now, he already knew the identity of the giant whale. It was a small but famous sea monster in the sea of the Northwest. It had a small clan, but almost every adult was a legendary beast.

Of course, that had been something in the past as well.

Sui Xiong watched himself kill the giant whale and couldn’t help but laugh.

When I killed this fellow by myself, I really took some risks and suffered great losses!

Who would ever have thought that a seemingly silly whale could still know how to play tricks?

And who would ever have thought that Sui Xiong, a smarter man among all creatures, the world-wide famous Majesty Void Mask, could have ever been deceived by a whale.

Sui Xiong shook his head and smiled bitterly as he watched the giant whale freeze the jellyfish and then bite off almost a third of its body.

“This fellow… Shall I say it’s smart or silly? At that time, if it had chosen to make friends with me instead of attacking me, maybe it would have been a powerful creature that would have a great influence on people. Maybe it would have become a god.”

Sui Xiong always took good care of his friends, and with his help, most of his friends lived a better life now with growing power and a better career.

After watching the short battle in rewind, Sui Xiong finally improved the efficiency of his search again.

Before fighting with that giant whale, he kept moving in the shallow water. The distance was not too far, so Sui Xiong could see his figure clearly through the spell from the sky.

He saw that he was swimming and hunting while trying to modify his body, growing bigger and stronger all the while.

In other words, during his search, he kept looking at a strange jellyfish.

It could be described as a wonderful scene. Sui Xiong saw himself constantly changing. From the third perspective, he saw that he had once fantastically added all kinds of constitutions to his body, so he couldn’t help but smile at that.

Along the way, he had gradually come to a very distant part of the sea. Here, he finally found the place where he had become a jellyfish. But this was not the place where his space-travel had started.

Because he remembered that he had traveled a long way in the water in the state of a soul, just like a water ghost. It wasn’t until he had almost been swallowed by the single-horned giant whale that he had been scared to go into the jellyfish’s body.

The circle of light clearly reflected the scene when the single-horned giant whale rushed out of the deep sea but caught nothing.

Then, it also showed the sudden deaths of small fish and jellyfishes in the seemingly empty sea water of earlier times.

The souls of these weak creatures were taken away by Sui Xiong, and they died without knowing what happened.

Sui Xiong’s attack was powerful. Over the years, he had never missed his targets, and no one had escaped from him. There were no exceptions.

But he had rarely used this tactic.

In those days, in order to survive, he would attack those ignorant lower creatures in this way without hesitation. But when he stepped into a civilized society, he was reluctant to use this method to attack those wise creatures.

Either that, or he was strong enough that there was no need for him to use such a tactic. It was weird and horrible to him even now.

Sui Xiong had always been unwilling to use this tactic. Maybe it was because of his morality, or maybe he just thought it was unnecessary; perhaps it was because of some kind of presentiment in the dark.

He always felt that saving this tactic could be of great use in the future.

“Well, it may just be my illusion. There are many illusions in life, and I don’t care if there is one more,” Sui Xiong spoke to himself while searching carefully.

He searched for traces of the deaths of small fish and jellyfish to find his own figure.

It was strange. Although Sui Xiong had been in the state of a soul at that time, now he was certainly powerful enough to see that soul. Then why couldn’t he find his soul through the spell, Recall the Past?

That was really strange.

Fortunately, even so, he finally found the place where he had first come to this world.

In front of that place, no small fish or jellyfish died suddenly.

Sui Xiong marked this place with his spell. From now on, instead of spending time looking for it, he could find it as soon as he wanted.

Meanwhile, he also marked the current time to avoid any mistakes in his memory.

Although he wanted to search for his body immediately or go down to the bottom of the sea and start digging there, he still decided to wait.

He needed a rest.

This long journey had taken him about a month. During this period, he had continually cast the Recall the Past spell, so the consumption of magic was naturally high. That made him feel very tired.

At first, he was fine, but then… He traced back almost a thousand years ago!

Sui Xiong had never expected that he had stayed in the sea for nearly a thousand years.

It was roughly like this: several hours were taken from the start of his space-travel to become a jellyfish. Then it took about ten years for him to become top dog in the distant sea and eventually kill the single-horned giant whale. It took more than a year to find the ice trench. Finally, he spent more than a dozen days to get out of the trench and find land successfully.

These things were nothing serious. What really consumed a lot of time was his practicing in the ice trench.

If it hadn’t been for this trip, Sui Xiong would never have known that he had been practicing in the ice trench for almost a thousand years.

“In the myths and legends on earth, there are usually some old demons that have practiced in the mountains for a thousand years. I never thought I was such an old demon.” Thinking of this long period of practice, Sui Xiong could not help but laugh. “Well, hello, 1000-year-old demon.”
