Chapter 1418: Diving

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Currently, the lake was already nowhere to be seen. Noscent didn’t have such a huge ocean at this moment. Floating at the edge of the ocean, and looking at the tides in the distance, Lin Yun wondered whether he should circ.u.mvent it. The ocean didn’t seem very peaceful. The waves he saw were almost 800 meters tall.

However, the gravity here was much greater than that of Noscent. The waves had already died down before they reached the edge of the lake.

“How long will it take for us to circ.u.mvent this lake?”

After hearing Lin Yun’s question, the fat kid calculated for half a minute with a painful expression before he finally replied uncertainly, “It will take three times longer, probably. However, the chief said that we must cross this lake to reach the deeper world. We won’t be able to make it there if we circ.u.mvent the lake…”

Lin Yun’s eyelids twitched, and he almost slapped the fat kid. d.a.m.n it. He was going to the entrance of the deeper world. If he had to cross the lake, why bother calculating?

Some places had their own laws, just like the Kingdom of Nightmares. This lake was exactly one of the fixated paths. It would be impossible to reach the destination if they deviated from the path.

However, the lake was obviously not very peaceful. Lin Yun began to fly towards the depths thereof.

“Has this lake always been so turbulent? There seems to be some behemoths fighting underneath the water…”

Crouching on Lin Yun’s shoulder, the fat kid looked at the depths of the lake, at a loss.

“I don’t know. The chief said that the King of Nightmares domesticated some sea beasts here. Those were the captives that the King of Nightmares caught while fighting the Lord of Seas. I don’t know the details, but they were likely gardeners for the King of Nightmares…”

Lin Yun rolled his eyes, not convinced at all. However stupid the King of Nightmares had been, he wouldn’t have caught a bunch of sea beasts to do gardening for him. However, the mention of gardening reminded Lin Yun of something.

It seemed that the kings of sea beasts could grow special plants that could help soul ent.i.ties in the deep sea. Such plants looked like normal flowers, but would emit a special fragrance that could help condense soul power.

The King of Nightmares was a G.o.d anyway. The sea beasts he caught had surely been kings in the past. If they were asked to do gardening, then the flowers they grew had to have been the Deep Sea Soul Flowers.

While he considered the questions, he had flown more than 100 kilometers. Here, the waves were a lot fiercer and higher. Also, the deeper they got into the ocean, the higher the waves became.

The magic power of this place was extremely chaotic. The water elements were as abundant and active as those in the elemental plane.

In the sky, he vaguely saw a blue water elemental that was a dozen meters tall arise on the water, raising tides that were 100 meters tall, and surged towards the sh.o.r.e. The water elemental stood on the top of the tides, and charged at the sh.o.r.e.

After the first water elemental appeared, a chain reaction seemed to occur. When every new wave surged, a deep blue water elemental would emerge from underneath the surface of the sea. They would then charge at the sh.o.r.e.

In a dozen seconds, countless water elementals had appeared on the surface of the sea. Deep blue water elementals moved in the same direction as if they were fleeing.

Lin Yun’s expression changed when he saw the tremendous number of deep blue water elementals on the sea.

They were all elemental creatures that seemed to be made of deep blue seawater. They had two arms, and their lower body was just seawater. They didn’t have legs or a face. The seawater gathered into the shape of an elephant nose on their faces.

Their body structure seemed simple. It was just a silhouette. Their bodies were transparent, with nothing inside.

However, the water elementals could be terrifyingly strong in the deep sea, where they were much faster than on the surface of the sea. They were guardians and warriors for the kings of sea beasts.

More importantly, the water elementals’ combat ability would plummet after they appeared on the surface of the sea. It would affect their bodies too.

None of the water elementals below Lin Yun’s feet were lower than level 30. There were even 100 level-40 water elementals. Yet, they were all marching towards the sh.o.r.e. The closer they were to the sh.o.r.e, the weaker they would be. They might even die on the sh.o.r.e.

Those water elementals would never have moved towards the sh.o.r.e collectively unless they had been faced with a deadly crisis.

The first thing that Lin Yun thought of was the thick bull leg. Nothing else could’ve possibly cornered the water elementals into such desperation that they had to flee.

Although the leg was far away from the head, there had to be part of the G.o.d’s soul in it. Would it bully a bunch of water elementals?

That was impossible. Even if only the last piece of the G.o.d’s soul was left, and it lost all its wisdom, it should know better than bullying the water elementals in the deep sea…

Then what was going on? Were there some horrifying beasts fighting hard in the deep sea?

Confused, Lin Yun stopped flying, and examined the environment with the Magic Array in the sky, but he didn’t catch anything special. It was just chaos. The deeper he entered the lake, the more chaotic it was.

“Fat kid, has the hoof ever appeared in the lake?”

This time, the fat kid shook his head without hesitation.

“My chief never mentioned that. The terrifying hoof only appears once in a very long time. The chief said that we should just ignore it, and keep our distance from it.”

Lin Yun frowned.

“Are you sure? We’ve signed a contract. If I die, you’ll die too…”

Now that his life was at risk, the fat kid immediately hesitated.

“I’m not sure…”

Lin Yun shook his head, and fell from the sky to the surface of the sea. He unfolded a s.h.i.+eld, and dived down.

After he dived down, he saw an even more spectacular scene. All the creatures underneath the surface of the sea, including fish and enormous sea beasts, moved towards the sh.o.r.e just like the water elementals.

He continued diving down, and encountered more behemoths. He even saw a few four-armed nagas that were moving towards the sh.o.r.e too.

He moved further down. The light gradually faded away, replaced by darkness, which was not an obstacle for Lin Yun at all. He continued diving.

After he was four kilometers down the surface, there were fewer currents in the seawater. The deeper he went, the more peaceful it was.

After he reached the bottom of the sea that was 10 kilometers deep, he found himself in a peaceful world where the seawater was extremely slow. Very few creatures lived here. When he did encounter any of them, they simply moved towards the sh.o.r.e without bothering to look at Lin Yun.

Crossing 1,000 kilometers on the bottom of the sea, he finally found a city of the sea clan. The buildings at the bottom of the sea were so shabby that they looked like ancient ruins.

Many mermen and mermaids that had human upper halves and fish tails swam out of the buildings. When they saw Lin Yun, they opened their mouths that were full of sharp teeth, and yelled at Lin Yun threateningly.

But after threatening Lin Yun, the merman in the lead left the city with his companions, and disappeared into the darkness in only a dozen seconds.

Lin Yun put on a solemn expression. He had seen a special mark on the foreheads of a lot of the mermen and mermaids, who were essentially n.o.bles in their clan.

He wandered above the city, only to discover that there was not a living soul in the buildings within the radius of eight kilometers. Also, most buildings were empty, and only some buildings were not. It meant that those mermen and mermaids wouldn’t come back anytime soon.

When Lin Yun approached the biggest building in the center of the city, he suddenly smelled a vague fragrance.

He didn’t smell it; he just felt it!

He stopped and continued examining the fragrance. Soon, he felt that all his exhaustion was gone. It was not a relief on his body, but one on his soul.

His soul had smelled the fragrance.

The Deep Sea Soul Flower!

Following the fragrance, Lin Yun soon found a flower that emitted vague bluish light in the biggest building. The flower was very small, and looked just like a normal flower.

Everything in the room had been taken away except the sapling of this Deep Sea Soul Flower. The traces around the sapling suggested that there had been another two Deep Sea Soul Flowers that were mature.

Immature Deep Sea Soul Flowers weren’t really effective. Also, they wouldn’t be able to survive if they weren’t replanted soon after they were dug out.

Were the mermen and mermaids in such a hurry that they didn’t even have the time to take away the sapling of the Deep Sea Soul Flower?

Lin Yun put on an awful expression. He took out a bottle of mana water, and carefully preserved the sapling in the water so that it could be kept alive for a long time.

Digging out the Deep Sea Soul Flower’s sapling, Lin Yun left in a hurry, and didn’t overstay. Even the masters of the sea didn’t think it was safe to stay here. If he dawdled, he might be caught in danger.

After all, he would not be as strong as he was on the surface of the sea in this place.

He moved towards the surface of the sea quickly. The higher he went, the more turbulent the undercurrents became.. There were still a tremendous number of sea creatures that were running crazily in the same direction.
