88: Symbiote!

When in a good mood, thoughts flow more smoothly.

After Great Xia stepped forward to be the pillar, Ye Su felt relieved.

He only needed to focus on how to become stronger.

Great Xia had much more to worry about.

So.

Facing this massive Dragon Whale, let's strike directly from the inside!

He leaped forward.

Following the airflow of the Dragon Whale's inhalation, Ye Su entered the Dragon Whale's body with a puchi sound.

This is...

The lungs.

He saw the surrounding dark red flesh constantly contracting.

Ye Su's expression changed.

"Don't... hold it in... don't..."

"Holy crap!"

Chi!

Boom!!

Having inhaled a foreign object, the Dragon Whale let out a sneeze.

The blowhole emitted a sonic boom, and Ye Su was blasted right out.

In the high sky, Ye Su was in free fall.

The sudden explosive intensity of the Dragon Whale's sneeze directly knocked Ye Su unconscious.

Fortunately, the Tai Xuan Scripture and Tai Shou Scripture circulated on their own, allowing Ye Su to wake up.

Otherwise, he would have free-fallen into the sea to feed the fish!

"I really didn't expect that."

Treading on blood qi manifestations in the air, Ye Su was utterly speechless.

Sneezing when inhaling a foreign object is a physiological reaction.

He hadn't expected that even as a King-level Lifeform, the Dragon Whale still couldn't suppress it.

But it made sense.

With such a large blowhole, it couldn't possibly inhale everything without a reaction.

If anything, the sneeze was probably even enhanced.

Afterward, Ye Su landed on the deck.

The Dragon Whale finished inhaling air and dove back into the sea.

Yao Yun hurried over;

"Captain Ye, are you okay?"

He had seen with his own eyes Ye Su being blasted into the high sky; that kind of speed and sonic boom was something an ordinary person couldn't withstand.

Ye Su shook his head;

"I'm fine, it just hurts a bit."

He relied entirely on his Blood Qi Armor to withstand that strike.

Luckily, things condensed from blood qi have a very low vibration transmission rate; otherwise, his internal organs would have been shattered.

"Does it basically come up for air every few hours?"

"About every 6 hours!"

"Good, then I'll wait one more time."

He had no experience the first time, so it would be much smoother later.

Once he entered the lungs, he would immediately start piercing its alveoli and lung walls; entering the body would mean major merit was achieved.

Yao Yun opened his mouth, hesitating;

Wait, he's going to try again?

It wasn't that Yao Yun didn't want to kill the Dragon Whale.

But at this stage, Ye Su's importance was too high.

He already knew about the situation within the country.

If anything happened to Ye Su, the entirety of Great Xia would fall into turmoil.

Those Professionals were not easy to deal with.

The wild ones are harder to unify.

Only in the Middle Stage or Late Stage, when there are more institutionally trained Professionals, will things truly get on the right track.

Currently, Ye Su's reputation is still needed to keep things under control!

So he couldn't afford for anything to happen to him.

"Don't worry, I've already found its weakness!"

6 hours later.

Chiii...

Boom!

"Holy crap!"

Ye Su soared into the sky once again.

Only this time, the sneeze the Dragon Whale let out contained a bit of blood mist.

However, the Dragon Whale didn't feel a thing from this bit of blood mist.

"Maybe... let's forget it," Yao Yun said.

Ye Su's Face was grim.

Damn it, it's actually not giving me Face.

Blame its flesh barrier for being too hard.

Even the internal flesh was like tough vines.

This Dragon Whale is far stronger than the Great Turtle!

Even the Dragon Wolf can't compare to it.

Things in the sea are truly fierce!

"Wait another 6 hours, I'll try one more time!"

Ye Su said in a heavy voice.

6 hours later.

This time Ye Su took a deep breath.

His whole body's blood qi surged to its Peak!

Black aura crawled over the long saber, and his Blood Qi Armor was stained with a layer of ink-black.

As the Dragon Whale inhaled again.

Ye Su leaped.

With a puchi sound, he passed through the blowhole and entered the lungs.

The long saber swept out instantly, flesh flying everywhere.

As the Dragon Whale's lungs surged, about to sneeze.

Ye Su had already carved out a large hole in the flesh and hidden himself within.

A few seconds later.

The sound of rushing water rang out.

A sense of deep-sea silence swept over his entire body.

OK!

He was in.

Three visits to the thatched cottage?

Dragon Whale, you're freaking dead!

Not following the old rules this time, I'll just gut it!

Gutting all the way down.

Find the Dragon Whale's heart and finish it with one strike!

Thus, Ye Su began his deep-sea operation.

The long saber continuously carved; amidst flying flesh, Ye Su advanced rapidly.

In a short while, he broke through the cavity wall and entered the Dragon Whale's internal organ collection area.

Here, it wasn't densely packed with flesh; instead, a huge cavity had appeared.

It was a bit like a Cthulhu-themed secret room, and there was even a faint glow coming from the fleshy walls.

From the fleshy walls, tentacles hung down, and these tentacles seemed to sway consciously.

Ye Su reached out and pinched one.

The confusion on his Face instantly turned into surprise.

This tentacle actually had its own heartbeat!

This doesn't make sense.

Unless—rustle, rustle...

The tentacles swayed, then the fleshy wall was peeled back, revealing beetle-like insects.

They turned around and looked at Ye Su.

Their two eyeballs emitted a faint glow.

So, the faint light in the fleshy cavity came from their eyes.

"Symbionts!"

Ye Su thought to himself.

To put it bluntly, parasites!

However, as the Dragon Whale evolved into a King-level Lifeform, these parasites also ascended along with it, becoming some kind of special demonic creature.

They had transformed from parasites into Symbionts.

This fleshy chamber was their base.

From a natural evolution perspective, these Symbionts were like probiotics specifically designed to clean up foreign objects that accidentally entered the Dragon Whale's body.

It made sense.

How could a King-level Lifeform of this scale have such a huge weakness?

"So there's this layer too," Ye Su laughed;

"I thought you were just like the Great Turtle, just waiting around to die!"

Clearly, the Dragon Whale had evolved more completely than the Great Turtle.

But that didn't mean Ye Su's move was useless.

"Come!"

He gave a light shout.

These Symbionts seemed to understand Ye Su's provocation; with a squeak, they rushed directly at him.

They were like beetles, the size of millstones, dragging a tentacle tail behind them.

Their movement speed wasn't slow, roughly 1.2 meters per second.

Swish.

A large number of Symbionts swarmed over.

Ye Su's feet shifted.

While dodging, he swung his saber;

Overlapping Wave Slash!

Saber shadows like a tide swept across.

The shells of the Symbionts crackled, even producing sparks, but none were broken.

Normal.

Overlapping Wave Slash is a continuous attack.

The power of the first strike is indeed small.

But soon.

Ye Su, having dodged the Zerg Swarm attack, struck with the second slash.

The saber shadow seemed to solidify.

The tide gradually surged.

Some Symbionts had their shells sliced open, leaking white liquid, then flipped over and died instantly.

Well, their vitality isn't too exaggerated.

Although there are many, they can be fought!

Amidst more and more Symbionts, Ye Su dodged to find a safe footing.

Then, seizing the chance.

He struck the final slash.

Multiple saber shadows, surging tides.

The true power of Overlapping Wave Slash was unleashed.

A blood-red surge rolled forward, pushing through everything.

The Symbionts couldn't withstand such an attack and were crushed instantly.

Ye Su followed behind the surge, advancing with the tide.
