Chapter 302: Chapter 4: Strange Fish [Thanks for the reward, Cola Chicken Wings]
Alarm bells went off in Lin Jing’s mind, and he immediately recited in his heart:
“Enter the System Space.”
Then, Lin Jing saw a gigantic fish tail rise from the sea, lifting a huge surge of waves as if to blot out the sky and sun, and it crashed down towards Lin Jing’s direction.
At this moment, Lin Jing seemed to be bound by something, utterly unable to move.
Just as the fish tail was about to fall, Lin Jing vanished from the spot…
……
Inside the System Space, Lin Jing patted his chest, gasping for air.
The scene just now was too dangerous.
Luckily, Lin Jing reacted in time, entering the System Space the instant he felt something was off.
After catching his breath, Lin Jing immediately said:
“Enter Observation Mode.”
He wanted to see what exactly had attacked him just now.
After entering Observation Mode, Lin Jing turned his perspective towards the sea surface.
Finally, he got a clear view of the ‘thing’ that had attacked him.
It was an exceptionally bizarre fish head, with eyes as big as millstones, shining brightly. The gaping mouth was so large that Lin Jing wouldn’t be surprised if it could swallow a palace in one gulp.
Its body was completely submerged underwater, only revealing its wall-like tail in the distance. Lin Jing conservatively estimated that this monstrous fish was at least a thousand zhang in length.
The attack on Lin Jing had come from that tail in the distant sea, which was slapping up waves.
The monstrous fish seemed to possess intelligence.
Lin Jing saw a hint of confusion in those large eyes of the fish.
After surveying the area and finding no trace of Lin Jing, the fish head dove back into the sea, disappearing from sight.
However, the huge whirlpool that appeared on the surface of the sea proved that the monstrous fish had not left.
Then, colossal waves surged up as the wall-like fish tail rose from the sea and slammed down fiercely, causing a monstrous wave.
The huge waves instantly scattered the entire beach, and even washed away a section of the stony beach not far ahead.
Only, when the giant waves approached the mystical stele, they seemed to be blocked by something, unable to advance even half an inch further.
It seemed that the stele was not so simple either.
It was at this time…
Lin Jing witnessed a truly horrifying sight.
What lay before him was no beach.
Underneath the sand lay a forest of stark white bones.
There were human bones, as well as those of various Demonic Beasts; countless pale white bones covered the entire beach.
This made it clear that Immortal Crossing Island was no place for the faint of heart.
After slapping the water once, the massive fish turned around again, attempting to locate Lin Jing.
However, it ultimately failed to find a trace of Lin Jing.
After a while, it flipped a huge wave and swam towards the open ocean.
Once the monstrous fish left, Lin Jing remained observing in Observation Mode.
This place was too dangerous; he had to be careful and cautious.
Afterward, Lin Jing pondered his strategy.
The sea held immense dangers and was no longer an option.
In the dense forest, there were innumerable Demonic Beasts; although not as terrifying as the sea creatures, it was hardly a walk in the park.
At the moment, it seemed that only the stone beach near the mystical stele was somewhat safer.
After much thought, Lin Jing made his decision.
He would stay next to the stele for some time, observe the situation, and then make a decision.
Half an hour after the monstrous fish left, Lin Jing emerged from the System Space.
Once out, Lin Jing didn’t linger.
He made his way to the stone beach next to the stele.
He didn’t approach the stele too closely but maintained a safe distance to prevent any unpleasant occurrences.
He needed to stay here for a while, to accumulate some time for entering the System Space, and then try to find another way out.
That was Lin Jing’s plan.
