58: Chapter 58 Deep-Sea High Pressure and Potential Unleashing (Part 2)
Lin Feng's gaze was sharp, fixed intently on the Red Weasel Squid directly below him; this was his first time facing an enemy in an environment so unfavorable to himself.
The high pressure of the deep sea, the bone-chilling cold, the dangerous waters, and the powerful Red Weasel Squid—all of these would be his opponents.
The Red Weasel Squid let out a low hiss, its entire body of blood-red tentacles shooting towards Lin Feng like water snakes, surging through the deep water from all directions to converge here.
Lin Feng was undeterred. He waved both hands simultaneously, and the Thunder Prison Vine behind him also shot out. Tentacles against vines—the collision between the two instantly cleared the surrounding waters for several miles.
As everyone knew, water conducts electricity. Although the Red Weasel Squid held the advantage of the deep-sea terrain, Lin Feng's lightning power was equally capable of spreading endlessly in deep water, erupting with several times the damage.
"Zzzzt."
The potent lightning continuously struck the massive body of the Red Weasel Squid. Such a large body, yet its movements were extremely sluggish; in front of Lin Feng, it was like a slowly moving target.
But perhaps because it had adapted to the deep-sea waters, the Red Weasel Squid's skin and body surface were exceptionally tough. The lightning striking its skin only left behind a few scorched marks.
Lin Feng's expression darkened; the effect was even worse than he had imagined. He gritted his teeth hard, and a powerful pressure radiated from his body, with ripples of purple-red lightning expanding for hundreds of meters.
The Red Weasel Squid was suppressed instantly!
Lin Feng's gaze was cold. The five spirit rings on his body pulsed in sequence, stopping only at the fifth, red spirit ring. Its blood-red light was dazzling, instantly illuminating the entire deep-sea domain.
Fifth Spirit Ability — Thunder Abyss Strangling!
The Thunder Prison Vine behind him surged in size once again. Its sheer quantity and volume seemed to form a hellish purgatory within the deep sea, instantly strangling towards the Red Weasel Squid.
The Red Weasel Squid's boulder-sized eyes were instantly filled with terror. Those two glowing sun-and-moon eyes gradually dimmed in the hellish purgatory before being completely swallowed up.
Lin Feng's expression was indifferent. He clenched his right hand in the air, and all the Thunder Prison Vines tightened instantly, grinding the Red Weasel Squid into a mist of blood.
"Hm?" Lin Feng was slightly stunned!
In the blood mist, a crystalline starlight containing chunks of bloody flesh slowly sank downward. The bone glowed with faint red light, making it exceptionally dazzling in this boundless darkness.
"A Spirit Bone? Is my luck that good?"
Lin Feng clicked his tongue, his expression turning somewhat strange. It seemed that from childhood to now, he had never really had bad luck. Could this be the benefit of Transmigration?
He controlled the Thunder Prison Vine to catch the falling Spirit Bone and quickly retracted it. Feeling the terrifying fluctuation of Soul Power emanating from the flesh on it, Lin Feng felt incredibly excited.
This aura—there was no mistake, it really was a Spirit Bone...
The moment he got the Spirit Bone, it was still covered in a large amount of flesh. Lin Feng didn't show the slightest hint of disgust; he reached out to wipe it away, revealing its original magnificence.
The Spirit Bone itself was a beautiful crimson color, glowing with a scarlet luster all over. It was an arm bone with five slender bone joints extending upwards, each fingertip emitting a faint golden-red light.
"Seeing how scarlet you are all over, I'll call you the Scarlet Fury Right Arm Bone!"
Lin Feng looked at the beautiful Scarlet Fury Right Arm Bone before him, a hint of joy rising in his heart.
This Spirit Bone originated from the Red Weasel Squid and had the water attribute. It should be a water-attributed Spirit Bone, suitable for water and ice-type Spirit Masters, and it would very likely be an offensive Spirit Ability.
A ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone, and one from a Red Weasel Squid at that—its value was absolutely immeasurable.
Lin Feng smiled as he tucked it away. To have such a harvest on a trip far from home was not bad at all. He was reminded of the days when he hunted Spirit Beasts in the Far North.
Back then, he had hunted countless Spirit Beasts in the Far North, and only by having incredibly good luck had he managed to obtain four Spirit Bones.
The higher the cultivation of a Spirit Beast, the higher the chance of it dropping a Spirit Bone; the lower the cultivation, the lower the chance. But even if there was only a one-in-a-thousand chance of a Spirit Bone dropping, as long as one killed enough, it would eventually appear.
But soon, following the explosion of Soul Power, the sense of weakness in his body and the powerful water pressure closed in on him again. Lin Feng had no choice but to endure the intense gas pressure in his lungs, holding his breath as he continued to swim upward.
...
In the deeper depths below, Sect Master Du Busi was observing Lin Feng's every move. Seeming to notice his predicament, he smiled slightly, his figure flashing again as he began to drive groups of moving behemoths in the deep sea.
If Lin Feng saw this scene, he would definitely be scared pale. It was a small group, a pod of Evil Orcas.
In the ocean, there were three equally famous types of Spirit Beasts. They existed at the very apex of the marine food chain, and none of them could be underestimated.
These three groups were the Deep Sea Demon Whale, the Evil Orca, and the Devil Spirit Great White Shark!
Although these three were all top overlords of the ocean, there was a significant disparity between them. The Deep Sea Demon Whale was undoubtedly the most powerful, but its population was the smallest.
Next was the Evil Orca. They were an extremely bloodthirsty and intelligent type of Sea Spirit Beast, highly skilled in group combat. Every hunt was a cruel battle of encirclement.
A large pod of ten-thousand-year Evil Orcas would even dare to hunt a one-hundred-thousand-year Deep Sea Demon Whale alone, which showed just how terrifying their group combat capability was.
An adult Evil Orca was over twenty meters long, and powerful ones could even grow to thirty or forty meters.
The group of Evil Orcas before him was half twenty-meter-long ones and half ten-meter-long ones; it should be a medium-sized group where ten-thousand-year and thousand-year Evil Orcas lived together.
Upon feeling Sect Master Du Busi's terrifying pressure, the leading Evil Orca felt a hint of dread and hurriedly led its group to retreat upward, which played right into his hands.
A series of buzzing sounds suddenly reached the ears of Lin Feng, who was swimming upward. These were the sound waves emitted by the Evil Orcas to transmit information, and at this moment, they were exceptionally piercing in the ocean.
Lin Feng's pupils instantly dilated. The seawater below was constantly flowing upward, as if an endless abyssal maw was blowing air upward.
"Damn it!"
Lin Feng's body went rigid with fright for a split second; that was the most intuitive fear humans felt when facing the deep sea. Then, he burst forth with terrifying speed, fleeing upward.
One Evil Orca after another burst out from the darkness. Leading them was a thirty-meter-long Evil Orca; it took the lead, rushing to the forefront of the water.
Seeing its massive body, Lin Feng's brain nearly short-circuited. What a massive body; in front of those huge lips, a single bite could swallow thousands of him.
"What to do?"
At this moment, he had to face a difficult choice.
Survive! To survive, relying on running away was obviously useless.
This was the boundless ocean; there was absolutely nowhere to hide. Trying to compete in speed in the water against an ocean overlord like the Evil Orca was undoubtedly a suicidal act.
Then, the only way to survive was to fight to the death!
Only by killing all the Evil Orcas would he have a chance to survive.
If he kept running, once his stamina was exhausted, he would still be food for the Evil Orca pod. At this moment, Lin Feng's heart suddenly became calm as water, and the speed at which his mind operated was several times faster than usual.
Overcome the hard with the soft, overcome the strong with the weak!
