1134 Thousand Miles of Fish Intestines, Tens of Thousands Miles of Oceans Part 2 (1/2)

The exit that Saleen saw was the end of the magic beast's intestine—the anus. It was fortunate that he was a mage. While he seldom dissected humans, he had researched many magic beasts, so the disgust lasted only for a brief moment.

The reason why he felt that was because he recollected what he went through in the intestine and what was being trashed about around him.

The waste shot out with Sika's bone piece, being sent flying for over hundreds of miles away, before sinking to the bottom of the ocean slowly.

Saleen did not struggle as he was sent outside the fish's body. Violent currents from the fish moving forward turned the seawater around them chaotic.

It was fortunate that the currents were ono threat to Saleen and his people, but he dared not allow them to venture outside the bone that housed them. The depth they were at was not a place that a level nine professional could survive in.

Even Sul, a golden grand swordmaster at the pinnacle of his level, would last less than a minute before being thoroughly exhausted, and then turned into mush.

Saleen glanced at Sika. ”I'll go have a look outside when we reach the bottom. Keep everyone safe.”

Saleen was able to see the bottom as he spoke. They were about over a dozen miles away from hitting the ocean floor. Over a dozen miles was over ten thousand meters. Furthermore, they had been falling for miles. Saleen began to wonder if they were still in Myers Mainland.

The deepest parts of Myers Mainland wouldn't be more than 30 miles deep, would it?

The violent currents gradually subsided and the bone piece quickly sank to the bottom. It trembled several minutes later, landing on a large piece of underwater rock.

Saleen cast Water Shield and passed through the green energy barrier, venturing outside the bone piece. His Elemental Eye allowed him to expand his sight over a dozen miles. There was no living being around them, which was quite a relief to Saleen.

He calculated for a bit and found the water pressure to be less terrifying than he had anticipated. At the very least, the pressure there was only twice as heavy as the pressure at the Imperial City of the Abyss.

A level nine professional would be able to survive for quite some time. However, one would be in serious disadvantage if they fought there without level ten powers.

Saleen grew bold, seeing no living beings around him, and he began looking into his surroundings. He was elated to find that the ocean floor was filled with precious materials, more so than the fish's stomach.

However, it was a pity that there wasn't very much. He quickly realized that it was probably the fish's excrement. All of the materials lying about had been refined by the fish's body.

Anything that lay around at the ocean floor were refined products from materials, things that the fish was unable to absorb.

Saleen wanted to laugh. Agares had wanted to cause him harm, but the assassin ended up sending him to a huge treasure chest of materials instead.

He would not have been able to find it if he had not been forcefully brought there.

He returned into the bone piece and relayed the things happening outside, before replenishing his magic staffs. He only needed the Water Shield, and he was able to put in 24 at once.

Most of Saleen's magic staffs had been given to his teacher, Jason, which were then distributed to others. He only had about 30 staffs with him, which he had prepared to give his followers.

The number of magic staffs with him meant that he was able to store over 60 spells. Saleen rested for a whole day with everyone else, before finishing replenishing all of his staffs.

He returned to the water, casting his Water Shield and collecting materials lying on the ocean floor. The materials had probably been around longer than the Goddess of Myers.

Saleen had no fear of the water. The Water Shield was there to prevent seawater from gushing in when he was picking up material.

It was immensely difficult to use space equipment. Common folk could not use anything unless they were adherents, which enabled them to use something like the Ring of Gifts.

However, the ring worked by borrowing rules left behind by the goddess. While even common folk were able to open the space within, they needed to spend mental powers to do so.

Usually, even level four grand mages were incapable of using space equipment. A level six mage was barely able to open up a space that was only a couple cubic meters.

The toll on mental powers was immense. The greater the volume of the item to be stored, the greater one's expenditure of mental powers was.

Saleen was unable to withstand thousands of liters of seawater gushing into his space equipment. He had no smart way of preventing seawater from seeping into his gear with the materials to be stored.

As such, he was only able to do it crudely, and that was to hold the seawater off while he stored the materials one by one using a dimension stone.

Furthermore, the way he used the dimension stone was to stick the stone on the material he intended to pick up, controlling the process with his mental powers when it was being stored. While the process was tedious, Saleen deemed it better than having a large amount of scraps taken in.

While the materials in the goddess' temples were fine, they paled in comparison with the ones that had spent countless years being naturally refined in the big fish.
