Chapter 2: The Underwater Monster World

  It has been half a month since entering the boundless sea area. In this half month, Qin Yu sometimes rode his sword to fly and walk through the waves, and sometimes rested on the big ship. In half a month, Qin Yu and Xiao Hei only encountered a few islands, which were just ordinary uninhabited small islands.

  The real overseas Xian Island is still far away.

  "Little Hei, why are you learning to fish with me? Isn't it faster to just dive into the sea and catch them directly?" Qin Yu lay on the deck, indulging in the sea breeze, while beside him was a fishing rod, connected by a thread of star power between his fingers and the rod.

  As soon as there was a movement, Qin Yu could easily catch fish.

  A dark golden energy also flowed out of Xiao Hei's body and attached itself to a fishing rod. Xiao Hei was actually fishing too! When Qin Yu asked, Xiao Hei transmitted his voice through spiritual sense: "Hey big brother, how do you fish? You'd catch fish faster by diving into the sea than by fishing!"

  "It's the atmosphere, fishing is about enjoying the atmosphere, you understand?" Qin Yu said with a smile.

  "Ah, the realm of mind, fishing is about savoring the realm! Haha, how simple is this truth, who doesn't understand it? Don't you see, I'm also enjoying the realm?" Little Black said with a smug expression, flapping his wings triumphantly.

  Qin Yu was speechless.

  After a moment.

  "What a load of crap, I still haven't caught a single fish." Xiao Hei was impatient and directly threw the fishing rod into the cabin. Then with a flick of his wings, he dove into the sea like an arrow, and in an instant, he flew back onto the deck with two fish clutched in his sharp claws, one in each paw.

  Xiao Hei said with a smile: "Big brother, you can slowly enjoy the scenery, I'll go grill some fish."

  Xiao Hei was very clever and had seen Qin Yu use the grill, so he completely understood it. He directly started grilling fish. Qin Yu was helpless, but suddenly the fishing rod shook, and Qin Yu quickly grabbed the rod and with a casual "hey", Qin Yu pulled the fish up.

  "Haha, what a big fish."

  The feeling of catching a fish is much more enjoyable than directly grabbing it, Qin Yu's mood was refreshed as he took the fish down and casually threw it into a large bucket in the boat specifically for holding fish. Xiao Hei looked at the fish and then looked at Qin Yu.

  "Hmm... why can't I catch any fish?" Xiao Hei thought helplessly. Of course, it's just catching a fish, what's there to be proud of? How come you're faster at catching fish than me."

  Qin Yu heard Xiao Hei's spiritual transmission and couldn't help but be taken aback: "Xiao Hei, I'm not gloating at all. Could it be... that you're jealous?"

  ……

  Luckily, I can chat with Xiao Hei, otherwise Qin Yu would have to spend his time cultivating. On this day, Qin Yu and Xiao Hei had just enjoyed a sumptuous dinner, and then one person and one eagle prepared to meditate and rest in the cabin.

  The sky has darkened, and the sea in the darkness is terrifying. Almost nothing can be seen but the turbulent sea.

  However, for Qin Yu and Xiao Hei, the turbulent sea was not a danger at all. Treading on the waves was simply easy for them. It was effortless to walk in mid-air, let alone these things.

  The cabin was very quiet, Qin Yu and Xiao Hei were slowly cultivating, a faint silver misty star cloud flickered around Qin Yu's body. Xiao Hei's body surface flashed with lightning that flowed through his entire body.

  Suddenly——

  Qin Yu's ears perked up, and he immediately opened his eyes, his body jumping out of the cabin onto the deck. Qin Yu stared at the distant south, his jaw dropping in shock: "Good heavens, it's so high, so big!"

  "Big brother, what's going on?" Xiao Hei also came out of the cabin and looked south, Xiao Hei was stunned too.

  Only the southern giant waves were over 100 meters high, like thousands of troops and horses constantly rushing north. Behind the giant waves was a terrifying hurricane, with a very large range. At least Qin Yu saw that hundreds of miles in the south were hurricanes.

  "Uh... Big Brother, are you just playing around?" Little Hei's voice transmitted through the comms.

  Qin Yu gazed at the distant waves, his heart racing involuntarily. With a heroic tone, he said, "Good, but let's put the boat away first. Such huge waves would make it hard to find if the boat is swept away." Qin Yu directly stored the boat in his spatial ring.

  "Oh... surfing!" Little Black's wings shook, and he directly broke through the air and rushed towards the giant wave. Only to see Little Black's spread wings cut into the giant wave like a sharp knife, freely and unrestrainedly.

  "Xiao Hei, wait for me."

  Qin Yu also stepped on the waves and moved forward, directly charging towards that endless giant wave. Wave after wave of giant waves continued to push northward, finally colliding with Qin Yu. "Peng" sound, Qin Yu directly broke through a wave of giant waves, but immediately followed by the second wave of giant waves.

  A hundred-meter-high giant wave crashes down, and the rumbling sound is deafening.

  Qin Yu only felt a loud rumbling sound, but Xiao Hei's spiritual transmission voice clearly echoed in Qin Yu's mind: "Big brother, you're too slow, hurry up and come to me."

  "Hey, you little rascal!" Qin Yu's figure was like a flash of lightning, darting and weaving, sometimes floating on the crest of the waves, sometimes standing tall like a sea god. He played freely, unaware of how much time had passed. Then, Qin Yu and Xiao Hei shot southward, while the waves surged northward, and they completely entered the midst of the massive waves. However—

  Qin Yu stared blankly at the south.

  "Heavens."

  Qin Yu finally knew the culprit that caused this boundless huge wave. Those hurricanes were powerful, but they couldn't shake Qin Yu and Xiao Hei. However, the culprit that caused the boundless hurricane and the boundless huge wave made Qin Yu feel a bit hard to resist.

  "Big brother, what is that?"

  Xiao Hei also flew to Qin Yu's side, both the man and the eagle looked towards the south. At this moment, tens of miles away in the southern direction, dark clouds filled the sky as if they were stuck to the sea surface, flashes of lightning kept striking down, a huge whirlpool was constantly rotating.

  This massive whirlpool was constantly absorbing the lightning between heaven and earth, and also caused a huge tornado above it. The tornado that pierced the sky even triggered a hurricane with a range of hundreds of miles. Qin Yu was far away, but he dared to confirm that the rotating power of the tornado was not something he could resist.

  "Big brother, what should we do?" Little Hei seemed to be at a loss as well.

  This man stood alone on the crest of a wave, gazing out at the terrifying whirlpool tornado in the distance.

  Qin Yu opened his mouth and said, "This... I like excitement, but... I don't want to be treated as a toy by this tornado. Once I'm sucked in, I'll spin around and get dizzy, and won't be able to escape that whirlpool. It will absolutely not stop."

  "We..." Xiaohai looked at Qin Yu.

  Qin Yu smiled and said, "Let's dive in! They say the underwater domain is the territory of sea monsters. I'd like to see it for myself." Xiao Hei naturally had no objections and immediately dove into the water with Qin Yu.

  In the morning, dive down into the water, and the pressure will start to increase slowly.

  "Xiao Hei, you're indeed impressive. They say flying creatures aren't suited for underwater, but it seems to have no effect on you at all." Qin Yuling said through sound transmission.

  Xiao Hei Dao said, "Big brother, flying creatures aren't suitable for underwater. Those are ordinary flying creatures, after all. Once they reach the Golden Dan period, they already belong to the category of demonic beasts, so of course they can dive into water. Moreover, I'm not just a Golden Dan-level demonic beast, but also an extraordinary one."

  At first, Xiao Hei and Qin Yu talked for a long time, and he also knew that he was not an ordinary demon beast. After passing the 49-day tribulation, he still couldn't transform into a human form, but he still had inherited memories. Such a demon beast is not something that ordinary demon beasts can compare to?

  Qin Yu and Xiao Hei's bodies were very robust, and the water pressure had little effect on them.

  "It's really quiet underwater." Qin Yu and Xiao Hei dove into the depths of over a thousand meters in one breath, and at this moment, it was very quiet at the bottom of a thousand meters. Colorful fish swam by, seemingly not afraid of Qin Yu and Xiao Hei at all, swimming past them from beside them.

  There are also small fish that emit light all over their bodies. The sea is full of fish, and sometimes the schools of fish are densely packed. Occasionally, there are other various marine animals among the ambassadors.

  Qin Yu and Xiao Hei continued to dive down, diving down to over 2,000 meters.

  "What a huge whale. It's probably hundreds of years old." Qin Yu looked at the giant whale swimming in the distance, over 100 meters long, and couldn't help but feel secretly shocked. Meanwhile, Xiao Hei beside him suddenly became excited.

  The Tao spread out in electric light on Xiao Hei's body.

  Qin Yu only felt a shock in his body. It turned out that the electric light had spread to Qin Yu's side.

  "Xiao Hei, what are you doing?" Qin Yu looked at Xiao Hei in confusion. But Xiao Hei was excitedly transmitting his voice, "Big brother, this fish has a rich life energy! In my inherited memories, I have a way to devour its blood food."

  Nine beams of light shot out from the small black body and directly attached themselves to different parts of the massive whale's body.

  All I heard was a mournful cry, and the huge whale suddenly shrunk at an astonishing speed. All that could be seen was a stream of pure blood flowing into the small black body along with nine electric lights.

  Qin Yu's eyes widened in shock.

  In just a short while, the essence of a hundred-meter-long whale was completely absorbed, leaving only a layer of skin and bones. And after swallowing a whale, Xiao Hei's body didn't change in the slightest, Qin Yu couldn't imagine where so much essence from the hundred-meter-long whale had gone.

  "Wow, it's really cool! Refining the essence of blood and merging the vital energy of life, this pre-heavenly realm whale is coated with a vitality that's no less than that of an ordinary Golden Core demon beast!" Little Hei exclaimed.

  Qin Yu was speechless.

  "Xiao Hei, how can such a big whale fit in your belly?" Qin Yu looked at Xiao Hei.

  Xiao Hei said, "Big brother, I didn't eat him, I just absorbed his vital energy and refined his life force. However, refining the vital energy of blood and flesh is an ultimate skill, according to my inherited memories, there aren't many demon beasts that can do this like me."

  Qin Yu had nothing to say.

  What is called having no many demon beasts. Qin Yu looked at the cultivation secret books, which talked about the things of demon beasts. Only said that demon beasts can devour golden elixir and primordial infant, never heard that there are also swallowing flesh and blood essence.

  "Big brother, do you want to learn? If you want to learn, I can teach you." Xiao Hei said to Qin Yu.

  Qin Yu was taken aback.

  "Haha, I deceived you, this method of absorbing the essence of flesh and blood is only suitable for me, and it's still my 'dark electricity' that can be displayed." Xiao Hei Ling said in a voice transmission, "Absorbing the flesh and blood essence of other demon beasts is not something ordinary demon beasts can do."

  Only some of the book's demonic beasts have such a special move.

  For example, the divine beast Hong Luan would not have such a move, but that doesn't mean Xiao Hei is more powerful than Hong Luan. For instance, the Chi Xue Mang She, although not a divine beast, can retreat and devour the flesh and blood of carnivores. Being able to use this move only represents Xiao Hei's uniqueness.

  "Alright, let's continue diving down. We haven't found any formidable sea monsters yet." Qin Yu transmitted with a smile.

  Then Qin Yu and Xiao Hei continued to dive underwater, on this dive, Xiao Hei also swallowed three huge carnivores in one gulp, after swallowing the three heads, Xiao Hei didn't swallow anymore, this was already his limit, he wanted to go back and digest properly.

  When diving to three or four thousand meters, Qin Yu finally found the first Golden Dan period demon beast. It was a green-shelled turtle. As soon as the green-shelled turtle saw Yu and Xiao Hei, it seemed to be frightened and immediately transformed into human form before quickly escaping.

  Qin Yu and Xiao Hei stared blankly at the green-shelled turtle that had slipped away.

  "Big brother, what's going on? How did he slip away? We haven't even killed him yet." Little Hei suddenly spoke up, he was just friendly communicating with that turtle spirit earlier.

  Qin Yu also shook his head.

  Qin Yu and Xiao Hei infiltrated again to a depth of nearly 5,000 meters. At this depth, there were many more demon beasts, and from time to time, they would see...

  A strange beast passed by, but the weak and small demon found that Xiao Hei Qin Yu immediately ran away. What's even stranger is that those weak and small demons, when they encounter other powerful demons, don't run away.

  The seemingly weak and small demon beast was afraid of Qin Yu and Xiao Hei.

  Weird, really weird.

  "Heh heh, I don't know where this guy came from, but it looks like he doesn't understand the rules at all. I'll make sure he doesn't live past noon." A late-stage Golden Core demon beast said to another demon beast in the distance, both of whom had transformed into human form.

  Those two monsters did not avoid Qin Yu and Xiao Hei either. The spiritual awareness even echoed in the minds of Qin Yu and Xiao Hei.

  "Half a day? Two foreign devils, I bet they'll be dead within an hour." Another humanoid monster sneered.

  Qin Yu and Xiao Hei looked at each other, but felt a sense of unfamiliarity. What was going on?

  "Others, back off, these two are mine." Suddenly a massive spiritual consciousness covered the surroundings, and the voice of that consciousness echoed in the minds of all the demon beasts, including Qin Yu and Xiao Hei. Those few humanoid demon beasts immediately retreated in flight.

  "Not good."

  Qin Yu's spiritual awareness discovered something was amiss, but it was too late. In an instant, a dozen or so enormous cyan octopuses with eight claws emerged from all directions, surrounding Qin Yu and Xiao Hei, leaving them no place to escape. These dozen or so cyan octopuses had already reached the Golden Dan stage.

  "Haha" The business just started again, a huge red octopus appeared, this octopus is four or five times larger than the other dozen octopuses, and its breath is also much more terrifying. Those eight tentacles are like dragons, very frightening.

  Qin Yu and Xiao Hei's faces changed immediately.

  The eyes of that huge red octopus stared fiercely at Qin Yu and Xiao Hei, with greed flashing in its eyes.
