Chapter 136 Exploring the Deep Sea: Unknown Challenges
The darkness of the deep sea is like thick ink, swallowing up everything.
The light source in Chu Feng's hand could only illuminate a small area around him. Further away, there was still endless darkness, as if countless unknown horrors were lurking.
"I always feel...something is not right." Pan Yue's voice trembled a little. He followed Chu Feng closely, looking around vigilantly.
Dr. Ocean also nervously held the instrument in his hand tightly. "The pressure in the deep sea is getting stronger and stronger. I feel like I'm having trouble breathing."
Chu Feng took a deep breath. He could feel the pressure of the deep sea pressing on him like a huge rock, and the circulation of spiritual power in his body became sluggish.
Every time he used a skill, it felt like he was squeezing the last bit of strength out of his body, as if he was overdrawing his vitality.
In this deep sea, the power he was proud of was severely suppressed, and this feeling of powerlessness made him feel unprecedented fear.
"Hush!" Chu Feng suddenly stopped and gestured for silence. He felt something approaching in the darkness.
"Gurgle..." A strange sound came from a distance, like the roar of some giant beast.
Pan Yue's expression changed. "It's a deep-sea monster! We have to get out of here!"
Dr. Ocean turned pale with fear, and nearly dropped the instrument in his hand. "A deep-sea monster? That's a terrifying existence that even the legendary Night's Watch finds difficult to deal with!"
Chu Feng gritted his teeth, knowing it was too late to escape. He poured his spiritual power into the weapon in his hand and prepared for battle.
At this moment, a huge black shadow slowly emerged from the darkness, covering the sky and the sun, like a moving island.
"Roar--" A deafening roar resounded through the deep sea, and a powerful pressure came upon them, making it almost impossible for Chu Feng and others to breathe.
"Quick! Hide behind me!" Chu Feng shouted, protecting Pan Yue and Dr. Ocean behind him.
Pan Yue grabbed Chu Feng's arm, his voice trembling slightly: "Chu Feng, we...we are no match for it at all..."
Chu Feng said nothing, but held his weapon tightly in his hand, staring firmly at the giant beast before him. He knew they had no way out...
The giant beast's ferocious head slowly lowered, and a fishy smell hit his face. Its fangs were like sharp daggers, reflecting a faint cold light.
Pan Yue and Dr. Haiyang were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
"Chu Feng, what should we do? We are dead!" Pan Yue's voice was full of despair.
At this critical moment, Pan Yue suddenly pointed to a narrow passage on the right side of the giant beast, "There! We can go around it!"
Chu Feng looked in the direction Pan Yue pointed. The passage was hidden among the rugged reefs and was almost imperceptible.
The passage is narrow and dark. No one knows where it leads to, let alone whether there is a greater danger hidden in it.
"But..." Dr. Ocean said in a trembling voice, "It's too dangerous there. We don't know what's inside..."
"Believe me." Pan Yue said firmly, "This is our only chance. Instead of sitting and waiting for death, why not give it a try!"
Chu Feng looked at Pan Yue's determined eyes, and a glimmer of hope surged in his heart.
He always knew that Pan Yue was calm and intelligent, but at this critical moment of life and death, Pan Yue's calmness and wisdom were even more precious.
"Okay!" Chu Feng made a quick decision, "Let's go!"
The three of them swam quickly towards the narrow passage. The giant beast didn't seem to notice their actions and continued to wander around in the same place.
It was pitch black in the passage, and I couldn't see my fingers.
The light source in Chu Feng's hand could only illuminate a short distance ahead. Further ahead was still endless darkness, like an abyss that swallowed everything.
They swam forward cautiously. Pan Yue observed the surrounding environment from time to time and adjusted the direction of advance according to changes in water flow and terrain.
"The water flow here is very gentle, which means this passage should not be too dangerous." Pan Yue analyzed while observing.
Chu Feng admired Pan Yue's wisdom. If it weren't for Pan Yue's calm analysis, they might have been swallowed by the giant beast.
Just when they thought they were safe, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared in front of them...
"What is that?" Dr. Ocean's voice trembled.
Chu Feng's heart sank as a sense of foreboding washed over him. He aimed the light at the shadow in front of him... "Not good!" Chu Feng exclaimed.
“…” Pan Yue’s voice stopped abruptly.
The beam of light illuminated the dark shadow ahead. It was a deep-sea monster that was even larger than the previous one, almost twice the size!
Its body was covered with hard scales that gleamed with metallic luster, and its huge eyes emitted a cold light, as if it were a messenger from hell.
"Quick! Attack!" Chu Feng shouted and took the lead in attacking.
The weapon in his hand cut through the sea water and stabbed fiercely into the head of the giant beast.
However, the giant beast's scales were extremely hard, and Chu Feng's attack only left a shallow white mark on its body, without causing any substantial damage.
The giant beast let out a deafening roar and swept its huge tail across. Chu Feng was unable to dodge and was knocked away fiercely, hitting the rock wall hard and spurting out a mouthful of blood.
"Chu Feng!" Pan Yue and Dr. Ocean exclaimed, their faces full of worry.
The giant beast did not give Chu Feng a chance to breathe. It opened its bloody mouth and pounced towards Chu Feng.
At this critical moment, Dr. Ocean suddenly shouted: "Its belly! Its belly has no scales to protect it!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Feng endured the severe pain, quickly adjusted his posture, concentrated all his strength on the weapon, and stabbed it fiercely into the belly of the giant beast.
With a "Puchi" sound, the weapon pierced into the soft belly of the giant beast, and blood gushed out.
The giant beast let out a painful howl, its huge body trembled violently, then it slowly retreated and finally disappeared into the darkness.
"We succeeded!" Pan Yue shouted excitedly, his face showing the joy of surviving the disaster.
Chu Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Pan Yue and Dr. Ocean, his heart filled with gratitude.
He knew that without their help, he would have no chance of defeating this powerful beast.
"Let's go," Chu Feng said, "There's still a long way to go."
They continued to swim forward along the passage, and their trust and understanding with each other grew deeper.
At the end of the passage, there was an open space.
A huge underwater ruin stood there quietly, covered with mysterious runes and ancient statues... Pan Yue reached out and touched the cold stone wall, whispering, "Here..."
