But how come when I looked around from the air, I didn't see anything unusual?

Just as Xu Xing was pondering.

In the distance, in a region deeper into the sea, a complex and enormous energy appeared.

After confirming that he posed no threat to Xu Xing, he lowered his flight altitude and moved closer to the sea surface.

Finally, when Xu Xing was only a hundred meters away from the sea, he could see a sliver of light in the depths, which was only visible through refraction.

It was a large group of blurry black shadows, which seemed to be constantly moving, forming a sphere with the outer part and the middle part.

However, because it was too far from the water, its specific appearance could not be seen.

Xu Xing pondered for a moment, then took out dozens of level two or three crystal cores from his hand and threw them down.

Soon, the massive energy cluster on the seabed surfaced.

This is not a single species; it is clearly a sphere composed of countless fish and shrimp, including many enormous sea fish. The sphere stretches for several kilometers, and the surrounding sea surface appears to be boiling, with waves constantly spreading outwards.

"Huh?"

Xu Xing exclaimed in surprise, "How come there are land turtles here?"

There, in the direction of Xu Xing, there were turtles of all sizes. Even the smallest turtle was larger than a normal human, with a diameter and length of three or four meters.

"Boss... I'm here." A weak, youthful voice gradually surfaced from the water.

At first glance, it looked like a large, red, coiled python, only much rounder and fatter than a python, about the size of a killer whale in peacetime.

At the very front of its head, there are two small fleshy growths, seemingly about to burst out.

Isn't this Xiao Hong?

Xu Xing finally recognized him, mainly because he hadn't seen him for a while and noticed how much his physique had changed.

Looking at the land-dwelling shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the center, they finally understood that they had been chased here.

"Tell me, what wrong have you done this time?" Xu Xing reprimanded without hesitation. The surrounding underlings were not very intelligent and could only hold their leader accountable.

Little Red swam over reluctantly, flapping its tail fin and raising its little head.

Xu Xing stood on it and felt it with his feet; it actually looked quite imposing.

"I just brought my men here for a stroll, and I never expected to be attacked by those disgusting dolphins..." As she spoke, Xiao Hong even added her own sobs, sounding extremely aggrieved.

Xu Xing had anticipated this, and turned his gaze to the fish and shrimp on the outer edge.

Clearly, only those constantly moving creatures on the periphery are the real enemy forces; their size alone suggests they are significantly larger than Xiao Hong and the others.

Interspersed at intervals were large, dolphin-like creatures. Although there were not many of them, each of them had at least the peak of level three strength, and it was not uncommon for some to have broken through to level four.

Xu Xing kept calculating in his mind whether he could take advantage of the situation and escape with Xiao Hong, and he also considered whether the surrounding things could stop him.

The final conclusion is that you can run away, but if you fight, the win rate isn't high.

If they try to escape, Xiao Hong's underlings won't be able to hold out and may all perish here.

"What happened to those dolphins?" Xu Xing wanted to get to the bottom of it.

At this moment, the largest of the dolphins swimming on the periphery nervously approached.

"Humans, this is not a place for you."

The lead dolphin spoke bluntly; it was much larger, comparable in size to a larger kayak, and its strength was likely just at level 6.

After all, it has absorbed the resources of such a large ocean; it would be a problem if it didn't advance.

The ocean has never been considered to be occupied by humans.

Aside from deep-sea creatures, almost all marine life considers humans to be their number one and greatest enemy.

In a peaceful world, humans have been fishing extensively for marine life, from small Antarctic krill to various whales, all of which have perished on fishing boats. Yet, this resource has also sustained hundreds of millions of people.

Therefore, nowadays, any marine creature with even a little bit of intelligence has no goodwill towards humans; on the contrary, they are extremely hostile.

Plus, this is their home turf.

If Xu Xing were slightly weaker, these mutated dolphins might not have bothered talking to him.

This is also one of the main reasons why travel between different continents has not been as frequent since the anomaly occurred.

"What, you want to fight me? Don't forget, I can come over indefinitely, but you can't leave the sea." Xu Xing crossed his arms.

He wasn't afraid at all. At worst, he could run away. He would just have to come more often in the future. His underlings might end up on Xu Xing's dinner table the next day.

In the end, Xu Xing looked at a giant lobster in the distance, as thick as a man's waist, and wondered what it tasted like.

Xu Xing's gaze lingered on the mutated dolphin, making him feel uneasy.

However, he still mustered his courage and stared at Xu Xing's feet, saying, "You're not allowed to pay any attention to him!"

The voice even had a hint of resentment.

"What?" Xu Xing was a little confused.

"I told you you're not allowed to step on him, and you, as an outsider, are not allowed to interfere in our business!"

The dolphin said this with a straight face.

"What? I'm an outsider, and I'm not allowed to interfere?"

Xu Xing was completely speechless. What was going on? Xu Xing sent a telepathic message to Xiao Hong.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Xing heard it, he heard Xiao Hong's pattering voice.

"Boss, I don't want to live anymore, ahhh."

I was so close, so close to being defiled by that damn dolphin! Luckily I ran fast, otherwise my reputation would have been completely ruined here.

Boss, you have to stand up for me! If it doesn't work out, let's just run away. I don't want these shrimp soldiers and crab generals anymore.

Anyway, there are still some at home. I ordered the other two idiots to stay home and watch the house.

"Wh...what?" These words left Xu Xing speechless, his mind racing with thoughts that gradually took a strange turn.

“This… tell me, are you male or female?” Xu Xing asked him earnestly.

"I'm a man," Xiao Hong said, on the verge of tears.

"Since you're male, then what about him?"

"He's male too..."

"Uh-huh." Could it be that there are homosexuals among animals? Xu Xing pondered this question for a moment.

Suddenly, he remembered a video he had seen many years ago.

The above indicates that dolphins are not the same kind of creature.

They were incredibly adept at sex.

For example, you could look at the carcass of a dead fish...

They can be male or female, without any inhibitions.

Homosexuality doesn't seem to be a big problem for them.

Realizing this, Xu Xing finally understood the whole story. It turned out to be a story about pursuing love. If he were to interfere now, wouldn't he be breaking up a loving couple?
