Chapter 252: Threat from the Deep Sea

In the waters near Oshima Town, a column of water broke through the sea surface and rose to a height of one hundred meters. A clam shell several meters in size flew to the sky and fell to the sea surface. Soon, a soft woman's voice was heard from inside the clam shell.

"Respected Lord Jiaolong, please stop fighting. I surrender. I surrender."

The clam shell slowly opened, and a two-meter-tall female clam spirit walked out. The clam spirit had long green hair, a proud and sexy figure, was wearing modern clothes, and had a pair of long legs. She was definitely a beautiful lady with a scholarly air.

At this time, the fifth-level clam spirit was kneeling on the clam shell. There was a half-meter-sized pearl in the middle of the clam shell, which was the clam spirit's companion magic weapon.

An 80-meter-long white dragon flew out from the sea. It was Lei Ji herself. The dragon first roared, scaring the clam spirit to tremble, and then turned back into a human form and questioned.

"Tell me your origins. The local sirens said you migrated here a week ago and tried to recruit followers, which is detrimental to the Dragon King Shrine."

The clam spirit immediately shook her head to deny it, took out a silk scarf and pretended to be pitiful, giving Lei Ji the feeling that this woman was very good at acting. If she were a man, she might be gentle and considerate to women, but she was not.

The clam spirit was actually secretly observing the reaction of the woman who had the power over his life and death. Seeing that she remained calm, he could only sigh inwardly. It seemed that he was doomed today, so he confessed.

"My name is Zhixiang. I have no intention of harming the shrine. I just heard that the Dragon King Shrine is very powerful, so I want to take people to seek refuge there so that I can find a place to stay. As for why I fled here, it's because those disgusting guys want to expand their territory again. I can only escape from the deep layer to the middle layer."

The so-called mesopelagic zone is the name of the ocean depth, which is divided into five layers.

The shallow layer is from 0 to 200 meters, which is also the depth where sunlight can reach. Ordinary terrestrial creatures do not have tools and can only survive at this level.

The middle layer is 200 to 1000 meters deep, with a general air pressure of 10 to 30 atmospheres. Ordinary humans cannot breathe there, while blue whales generally live at a depth of about 500 meters.

At depths of 1000 to 4000 meters, there is no sunlight below 1 meters, and some of the creatures living here have evolved lighting equipment, and many deep-sea fish are ugly. The water pressure at this depth is quite high.

Most common creatures such as sperm whales and giant squids live at depths of 500 to 1500 meters, and the deepest can reach 2000 meters.

The abyss layer is 4000 to 6000 meters deep. Most of the ordinary creatures living here are blind, and the sea water is extremely cold.

The depth above 6000 meters is called the hadal layer, where it is pitch black and silent, the temperature is close to 1 to 0 degrees, and there are very few signs of ordinary life, most of which are found in the major trenches.

Although it is difficult for ordinary creatures to survive in the deep sea, it is not a problem for evil spirits, so some sirens like to live in the deep sea. This clam spirit named Zhixiang once lived on the seabed 1300 meters deep.

Tear Princess asked in a serious tone.

"What disgusting guy?"

Orika said excitedly.

"They are the scavenging snake-tailed demons. These monsters capture female sea monsters and lay eggs inside them. When the young ones hatch, they eat the mothers. It's really disgusting. Two months ago, the snake-tailed demons expanded all the way to the deep seabed of the Philippine Sea and have reached the vicinity of Li Island."

Ophiuroides are the most diverse group of echinoderms. They look like starfish, with a distinct body disc and arms. The arms are slender. The internal organs do not extend into the arms, and the bones inside the arms are vertebrae-shaped, with the vertebrae connected to each other by joints. They have no anus, and the mouth is in the center of the ventral surface. They wriggle like a worm and move like a snake.

They are usually hermaphrodites, and will nurture the next generation in their bodies before releasing them. After becoming a monster, they are born with another talent, which is to allow their offspring to absorb nutrients and strength from the mother's body, and have more superior talents.

When Lei Ji heard this, she was stunned. Li Island was very close to Shimoda City. When Niu Gui left, he said that he wanted to make the final destination Shimoda City. The two sides would not meet, right?

"How strong is the snake-tailed demon?"

When talking about the strength of the snake-tailed demon, the clam spirit showed a timid look.

"The carrion-eating snake-tail monsters live in groups. I heard that there is a deep-sea monster city deep in the Philippine Sea where thousands of snake-tail monsters live. There are also top-level warriors among them, and there are more than one. The snake-tail monster leading the team this time is a top-level warrior. I heard from other people in the deep sea that the boss of the snake-tail monsters is very powerful and is a monster hatched from the corpse of a god."

"Hatching from the corpse of a god?"

The weakest Takama-ga-hara god is also a top-level leader, not to mention there are many at the eighth and even ninth levels. One can imagine how great the potential of the snake tail that absorbs the hatching of the god's corpse is.

At this moment, Lei Ji just wanted to quickly inform Nagayama Yuzuru and Ushio. The snake-tailed demon and Ryugu were all expanding their territories, and friction would definitely occur.

As for the fifth-order initial clam spirit in front of her, in order to prevent it from escaping afterwards, Lei Ji immediately took out the two contracts that Nagayama Yuzuru gave her, the position of Ryugu Shangshu, and the contract of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. It's not that Lei Ji was reluctant to give up the position of general, the clam spirit is a supporting role like her, and its strength is definitely at the bottom among the high-level ones.

Asking her to charge into battle would only harm her, and she was not worthy of the position of Dragon Consort. After deducting the position reserved for the Mermaid Lingji, there was only one position left for Dragon Consort. Unless one was a top-notch sixth-rank person, one would not be qualified to become the new Dragon Consort.

The clam spirit looked at the people in the Dragon Palace who were eyeing him eagerly and signed the contract without hesitation, with his handwriting very charming.

Seeing that things were almost done, Tear Princess handed the team over to Kanihime, sent out the tuna messenger to inform Nagayama Yuzuru, and rushed to Shimoda City, hoping not to encounter a strong enemy.

At the same time, to the west of Sagami Bay, in the waters near Odagami City.

Suddenly, two rapids appeared in the sea water. This was because Yuzuru Nagayama was playing hide-and-seek with a seahorse monster. Yuzuru Nagayama chased the seahorse, and the seahorse ran away. The seahorse attacked while running away, but unfortunately the high-pressure water gun had no effect on the enemy.

This sixth-level seahorse is definitely the least aggressive among its peers, but it is very fast and has great endurance. It is obviously one of the slower creatures, but I didn’t expect it to change so much after becoming a monster.

However, it also has a fatal flaw, that is, its IQ is not high, at most similar to that of a 4-year-old human child, which is absolutely rare among monsters that have lived for hundreds of years. Its attack is also very monotonous. In addition to using its body to hit, it uses its long nose to spray high-pressure water jets, which can easily cut through rocks and metals.

It seems that Seahorse's talents are all focused on speed, and it has a faster speed than the average seventh-level siren.

At this moment, the system issued a prompt. "Ding, the clam spirit joins the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons"

[Half-Immortal Strength +120]

[Half-Immortal Strength: 4990/4990]

"Ding, the clam spirit becomes the Shangshu +240"

[Clam spirit (weaving incense)]

[Demon Power: 1347]

After recruiting a high-level sea monster within two hours, Yuzuru Nagayama decided to take it seriously. Dragon scales appeared on his body, and soon a 200-meter-long blue dragon roared, and the sound of the dragon's roar spread across the seabed. The creatures in the sea were frightened into a state of stiffness, and the pupils of the seahorses shrank slightly, feeling the suppression from their blood.

Facing the oncoming Azure Dragon, the seahorse immediately rushed to the depths of the sea like lightning.

In order to make Kaiba convinced, Yuzuru Nagayama does not plan to use his water control ability to catch him this time. He wants to make him convinced like training a horse.

The chase between the two powerful monsters caused quite a commotion on the seabed. All living creatures and sirens fled for their lives.

The culprits smashed the coral reefs and cut through the underwater hills, leaving a large number of fish homeless.

The two were able to swim side by side, which shows how fast the seahorse is. The dragon and the seahorse swam for hundreds of kilometers, and the seahorse finally felt exhausted and slowed down.

Yuzuru Nagayama did not miss the opportunity and bit the 20-meter-long seahorse. The two of them collided directly into the mud on the seabed, causing the surrounding sea water to become turbid.

After a while, the sea water became clear, and the bitten seahorse made a weak sound for mercy, like the voice of a little girl, with fear in its pupils.

Yuzuru Nagayama opened his mouth and stated his purpose regardless of whether the other party could understand him or not.

"Submission or death, your choice."

Facing the dangerous golden dragon eyes, the seahorse lowered its head without making a sound, and the meaning was very clear.

Upon seeing this, Yuzuru Nagayama took out the One Hundred Demons Night Parade contract he had prepared long ago and asked Kaiba to seal it with his tail. It must be said that it is quite difficult if he can't transform.

"Ding, the seahorse demon joins the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons"

[Half-Immortal Strength +240]

[Half-Immortal Strength: 5138/5230]

【Seahorse】

【SR】

[Demon Power: 3190/3190]

Kaiba's IQ is too low, so he won't be given a position in the Ryugu Palace. It's a waste. Nagayama Yuzuru plans to make Kaiba his mount. It's fast and has high endurance, which is perfect.

Suddenly, a three-meter-long fish approached like a sharp arrow. It was the tuna that had been on the journey for more than an hour.

At the same time, Prime Minister Turtle's team also encountered trouble. A top-level killer whale blocked their way. The killer whale was 80 meters long, with a lot of keratin on its skin and a rough horn on its head.

The huge killer whale bit the turtle prime minister's shell and kept hissing, trying to break the shell to taste the turtle meat inside. Fortunately, the turtle shell was so hard that the killer whale could not bite it through in a short time.

Prime Minister Turtle felt very bitter at this moment. He didn't expect that the killer whale monster from the inner world did not leave, but instead followed the Dragon Palace migration team with a grudge. Now facing the attack of the top-level monster, he began to doubt whether he could go back alive.

Suddenly, a water tornado hit the killer whale's huge body. The water flow like a knife cut through its black skin and dyed the sea red. However, this little blood was just a superficial injury for the killer whale.

However, the sudden appearance of the woman made Killer Whale hesitate, because the other party was the lake god who defeated him last time, Arisu Kasumihime.

Facing a killer whale that was more powerful than herself, Arisu Kasumihime showed no reservations and used her strongest move right from the start. Countless sea water was compressed and condensed, turning into a 500-meter-long water dragon that roared.

After being with a man for a long time, her attributes unknowingly began to take on the dragon nature.

The two deep-sea monsters rushed towards each other in an instant and fought again, and Prime Minister Turtle finally found an opportunity to escape from the tiger's mouth, and then used all his strength to participate in the battle.

Soon the killer whale was defeated and left. There was no need to fight to the death with the damn woman.
