Wang Lan's breathing suddenly became rapid.

"elder brother…"

Sun Muchen's voice rang out, "I can feel your breathing is uneven, don't panic..."

"Hmm?" Wang Lan turned her head to look at Sun Muchen, then sighed and nodded slightly.

A sense of powerlessness welled up inside me.

Wang Lan was completely at a loss. He felt his mind was blank and he had no ideas at all.

However, at that moment...

Wang Lan suddenly noticed something unusual.

After consuming the red fruit and undergoing another evolution, Wang Lan's bloodline was also upgraded. His senses were much more sensitive than before, so he could immediately detect any abnormal phenomena around him.

Wang Lan frowned and looked carefully at the seawater outside the barrier.

The seawater was calm, with no visible movement or anything unusual.

Sun Muchen suddenly spoke up, "Brother... something's not right..."

Wang Lan immediately narrowed his eyes.

If this anomaly might be a misperception caused by his excessive tension and anxiety, Sun Muchen could sense the anomaly of the seawater even more because of the barrier he had set up.

Wang Lan took a deep breath and stared intently ahead.

From hazy to chaotic, from chaotic to profound.

The more Wang Lan stared at it, the more panicked she felt, and the more intense her inexplicable palpitations became.

Then… Wang Lan’s eyes suddenly twitched.

Suddenly, a bubble the size of a fingernail came into view in the deep abyss ahead, drifting towards them at an extremely slow speed.

Wang Lan's attention was immediately drawn to the bubble. She craned her neck and leaned forward to stare intently at it.

Until the bubble gets closer and closer to you.

It hit the barrier.

"Smack!"

Wang Lan seemed to vaguely hear the sound of bubbles bursting. Although the sound was not clear, he felt as if he had really heard it.

Wang Lan was startled.

He immediately shivered and took two steps back, but then suddenly realized that something seemed to be about to emerge from the deep, endless darkness ahead.

Just as Wang Lan noticed this, he saw the blue barrier suddenly shake, and the blue light dimmed considerably.

"Brother!" Sun Muchen's face suddenly turned ashen, looking frighteningly ugly. He hurriedly said, "There's...there's something! Something's wrong!"

Wang Lan knew, of course, that something was wrong.

Suddenly, a large number of bubbles appeared in front of us, swarming in and crashing against the barrier, shattering it into pieces.

And these bubbles certainly didn't appear out of thin air!

Wang Lan's heart was pounding faster and faster, as if it were about to jump into his throat. In the darkness ahead, he saw two eerie lights faintly shining.

It has a yellowish tint... and radiates a faint golden light.

Yet it keeps flashing!

An invisible sense of oppression came first, directly breaking through the barrier and enveloping Wang Lan and Sun Muchen, the brother and sister. The two inside immediately trembled and their legs shook uncontrollably.

The sense of oppression was clearly not as strong as when I first saw the tree.

But it terrified the two of them beyond words!

then…

The illusory figure revealed its true form in our vision.

The eerie light that accompanied the color vanished instantly, replaced by a pair of enormous brown pupils!

Wang Lan and Sun Muchen's pupils contracted instantly, and their eyes widened.

The inexplicable sense of oppression suddenly became even stronger!

So much so that the brother and sister found it extremely difficult to even breathe.

Then the pupils continued to dilate.

The enormous figure was fully exposed.

It was a nearly 100-meter-long squid sea monster, its body covered in rotting spots, with ten tentacle-like legs thrashing from its mouth. The two longest legs were even equipped with sharp spikes, and they stabbed towards the barrier where the two of them were.

The brother and sister shuddered violently, an indescribable fear gripping their hearts, and the blue barrier began to tremble precariously.

Two tentacles were seen stabbing in from the left and right sides.

The brother and sister had even completely given up resisting.

With a "smack"!

The barrier could not withstand the oppressive force and shattered.

The next moment, the seawater surging towards them suddenly stopped and flowed slowly around them, leaving the two in a waterless space.

The brother and sister miraculously stood on the water.

Two beams of orange-yellow light shone from behind.

The light shone on the squid!

Out of the corner of their eyes, the brother and sister saw a huge mechanical arm extend from behind them.

make a fist!

It swung towards the squid.

The unique "clunking" sound of the machine was clearly audible.

Compared to the squid, the mechanical iron fist was incredibly small, but when it landed on the squid, it unleashed terrifying power.

With a "clang"!

A visible ripple suddenly spread out from the point of contact between the iron fist and the squid's body, with countless bubbles rising from it, like a layer of white mist rising up.

The squid was hit hard and swayed back and forth.

At that moment, the sound of chains rattling rang out, and from the other side of the iron fist, a huge anchor shot out, breaking through the barrier of the seawater and slamming into the squid.

The squid immediately convulsed in pain, its huge body twitching and twisting, causing the waters to sway.

Wang Lan and his companion were immediately swayed left and right in that waterless space. Strangely, no matter how much the seawater stirred and became more chaotic, the size of the waterless space they were in remained completely unaffected.
