Chapter 862 Deepsea Spectre (1/2)
After a brief interaction with Chen Feng, they had tried to recruit him only for Chen Feng to refuse. Chen Feng’s objective was different from them, after all.
“Guys, I have already said it before. I have a different objective for heading into the ocean,” Chen Feng refused with a smile.
“Brother Chen, aren’t you heading to Glazed Island?”
“Of course not.”
“That’s a pity. Recently, a change has happened to Glazed Island and more glazed treasures have appeared there. Most of the cultivators on this ship are heading to Glazed Island.”
“That’s right, Brother Chen. I can see that you possess quite the decent cultivation level. Come join our team and explore Glazed Island. You’ll be able to obtain some treasures.”
“I’ll think about it when the time comes. If I do end up in Glazed Island, I will surely join your team.” Chen Feng smiled.
Even though they were feeling disappointed to see Chen Feng refuse, they did not say anything about it.
Bang!
Suddenly, the colossal ship shook. It felt as though something had struck it.
“It’s probably water yaos again.”
Along the way, they had encountered the attacks from water yaos many times. However, the colossal ship possessed a defensive power equivalent to that of a Dao artefact. Additionally, there were also many cultivators on the ship. Due to that, the journey was not a dangerous one for them.
“I wonder what type of water yaos came this time?” All of them laughed as they continued chatting amongst themselves. They were not feeling too worried about it.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Soon, though, they all felt something amiss. The sound of collisions rang out repeatedly, causing the 1,000-zhang-long ship to shake fiercely.
Weng!
Light flashed out as a thick layer of barrier encased the entire ship. Next up, violent attacks landed upon the barrier.
“Looks like the water yaos this time are quite powerful,” said a cultivator known as Sun Ming as he furrowed his brows.
This colossal ship was a ship belonging to one of the great trade associations of Domain World, specializing in providing services for cultivators who wanted to head to the ocean for an adventure. This Dao-tier ship had journeyed into the ocean many times before. Although it would face attacks every time, it would always safely reach its destination.
Thus, despite facing this level of attack, most of the cultivators aboard were not feeling too concerned.
Chen Feng spread out his divine sense, which easily made its way down through the barrier. There, Chen Feng noticed one titanic creature after another attacking the hull of the ship. Additionally, there were also a high number of black silhouettes emerging from the depths of the ocean to attack the ship.
What is this?
Chen Feng suddenly noticed a black silhouette making its way through the ship, disappearing from sight. Seeing that startled Chen Feng. Then, focusing his divine sense, he noticed that the black silhouettes were making their through the barrier and into the ship.
Could they be Deepsea Spectres?If that is the case, this will be problematic.
As Chen Feng was tracking the movements of the black silhouettes, the ones in charge of the ship, members of the trade association, quickly took action. There were grim looks on their faces.
“Damn it! We encountered Deepsea Spectres!”
“These things are not that scary. I’ll go check it out.” A high-level Human Immortal then stepped into a teleportation array set up within the ship to head into the waters.
“That fellow has a death wish! The last time this ship encountered Deepsea Spectres, we ended up with a high number of casualties. If it weren’t for the fact that there were a few experts amongst the passengers back then, this ship would not have been able make it out.”
“What do we do, then?”
“Don’t panic. First, investigate the number of water yaos and Deepsea Spectres. If we cannot handle it, we’ll have to ask the passengers to help out.”
“The water yaos are not the problem here. It’s the Deepsea Spectres. They are simply too terrifying.”
It was the truth. Chen Feng himself was personally witnessing the terror of the Deepsea Spectres. One of the black silhouettes had made its way into the ship. Like a body snatcher, it quickly entered the body of a starter-level Human Immortal. Chen Feng’s lifebound flame burned with intensity and he was able to easily see through the starter-level Human Immortal’s body. He watched as the black silhouette utterly devoured the cultivator’s soul. It was far more overbearing than the usual body-snatching process.
As expected, it’s Deepsea Spectres. Logically speaking, this part of the ocean should not have any Deepsea Spectres. Did something happen? Chen Feng grew puzzled.
“Brother Chen, what is it?” Sun Ming noticed the change in Chen Feng’s expression and he could not stop himself from asking.
“We could be in trouble,” Chen Feng said.
“Trouble? What trouble? These are just some water yaos,” a cultivator named Shao Wu said scornfully.
Sun Ming’s actions of inviting Chen Feng into their team several times had earned Shao Wu’s displeasure. Thus, he deliberately shot out words of ridicule. At the same time, he also attacked, performing a grasping motion to crush and kill one of the water yaos outside.
“It’s not just water yaos. There are also Deepsea Spectres.” Chen Feng then motioned with his hand, causing the space before him to ripple as images began playing out there. It was none other than the situation within the waters. One black silhouette after another snuck beneath the cover provided by the titanic water yaos to enter the ship.
“Those really are Deepsea Spectres! There are so many of them!” Sun Ming was shocked.
“I’ll check it out!” Like Chen Feng, Shao Wu also sent his divine sense through the barrier to investigate the situation under the ocean.
“It’s true! There are so many of them!” Shao Wu’s face sank. Suddenly, several black silhouettes noticed his divine sense and they instantly attacked. In just a flash, they devoured the stream of divine sense that Shao Wu sent into the ocean.
His divine sense devoured, Shao Wu’s soul became damaged and he began bleeding from his seven orifices.
“Shao Wu! What happened?” Sun Ming and several others quickly rushed forward.
