Chapter 118 The Eruption of Dead Water

As soon as A Zhiqiu made a move, Chen Qing immediately detonated the mechanical spider bombs, and tens of thousands of bombs exploded at the same time.

Chen Qing frowned slightly; A Zhiqiu had done something shady.

Amidst the deafening roar of bombs, the tentacles beneath Azhiqiu suddenly shot out, firmly pinning Chen Qing to the spot, a wild smile spreading across her face.

Even if she dies, she'll drag Chen Qing down with her.

No matter how strong Chen Qing's protective shield is, there is always a limit.

Besides, she might not necessarily die, but Chen Qing definitely will!

One explosion after another shattered the sand and rocks on the seabed, and black water surged out from the cracks in the deep sea, instantly engulfing Chen Qing and A Zhiqiu.

Azhiqiu's pupils contracted sharply; she knew all too well what the black water gushing from the crack was.

Still water.

The fact that there was stagnant water in this area was completely beyond Chen Qing and A Zhiqiu's expectations.

Other creatures in the deep sea were also completely unaware that there was stagnant water here.

Dead Water is a very special black water source in the deep sea pool, in which no living organism can survive.

To date, known dead water areas only exist in certain parts of the Mysterious Zone and the Sea Monster Zone.

I never expected to find this in the Gemstone Ocean!

And it was so easily blown apart by Chen Qing's Class C bomb!

In fact, this statement is just flattering Chen Qing.

The real reason that caused the deep-sea sand and rock to completely crack and the dead water to erupt was this gem hurricane, which was ten times more powerful.

Its terrifying power made the sandy ground of the deep sea extremely fragile, which is why Chen Qing's mechanical spider bombs were able to blast it open.

Seeing the surging stagnant water, Azhiqiu was immediately filled with intense fear!

She immediately forgot all her original plans. As a member of the Cross Star, Azhiqiu must have some trump cards and killer moves to save her life.

But these trump cards and killer moves are only effective against Chen Qing, not against Dead Water...

At this moment, Azhiqiu's mind was already filled with fear, a fear that came from her ancestors' genes and was firmly imprinted deep in her soul.

From the time each sea creature becomes aware of the world, they receive instruction from their tribe about the dead water.

Even sea creatures can drown in stagnant water!

Azhiqiu didn't want to recall that feeling of drowning anymore. They were sea creatures, the darlings of the sea!

But stagnant water can still easily take their lives!

They are even more afraid of stagnant water than humans!

Humans have the power to escape from stagnant water, but sea creatures can only wait to die.

Once they come into contact with stagnant water, they will lose all their strength and be drowned by the stagnant water!

Originally intending to kill Chen Qing, A Zhiqiu had only one thought in her mind the moment she discovered the Dead Water.

escape!

In a panic, she turned and tried to run away!

However, Azhiqiu forgot one thing.

Previously, in order to drag Chen Qing into the water, she had tied herself and Chen Qing together, but now it wouldn't be so easy for her to escape.

"Are you crazy?!"

Azhiqiu, who wanted to escape before the stagnant water fully erupted and affected him, suddenly found that his tentacles were being held tightly by Chen Qing!

The tighter she bound Chen Qing just now, the harder Chen Qing gripped the tentacles beneath her!

Chen Qing stood there quietly, motionless, seemingly completely unaware of the terror of the stagnant water.

Do you know what that is—

"Dead water, I know."

Chen Qing's voice was completely flat, as if the stagnant water was no different from ordinary water.

"I know you—"

Azhiqiu immediately fell silent; Chen Qing was trying to drag her down with him!

Her eyes suddenly turned ruthless. Azhiqiu knew that if she didn't kill Chen Qing, she would have no way to leave this place!

But the stagnant water was already within reach...

Azhiqiu's tentacles suddenly wrapped around Chen Qing's arm, its mouth wide open, its sharp, swirling teeth viciously gnawing at the flesh on Chen Qing's arm.

Instantly, Chen Qing's arm became covered in blood, but she didn't even flinch.

Azhiqiu's sea monsters have already escaped, and the muscle turtles have been carried away by the mini rabbits. As a type of beast, they are more able to sense the terror of the dead water than Azhiqiu and Chen Qing.

The still, lifeless water may seem harmless, but in reality, it contains boundless and terrifying energy that will drag them to a place of no burial and endless suffering.

There's a saying in China that aptly describes stagnant water: "A dog that bites doesn't bark."

Stagnant water doesn't show any aggression, but by the time you realize it, it's too late, and there's nowhere to escape.

"If you drag this out any longer, you'll die too!"

As Azhiqiu softened his voice and spoke words of advice, his mouthpiece beneath him became increasingly vicious, and white bones were already visible on Chen Qing's arm.

Seeing that the stagnant water was about to spread to her side, Chen Qing still showed no sign of letting her go...

Azhiqiu also became ruthless, directly pulling out a sharp fishbone blade from the space, biting her lip, closing her eyes, and fiercely slashing at the tentacles beneath her!

"ah--!!!"

A piercing scream erupted from Azhiqiu's mouth; her whole body trembled and convulsed uncontrollably.

It hurts so much, it really hurts so much.

Azhiqiu had never been in so much pain in her life. Red blood tinged with blue gushed out from beneath her.

The pain of losing her tail—all of this was brought to her by Chen Qing!

However, A-Zhiqiu couldn't care less about any of that now; she had to escape, she had to live!

However, Azhiqiu forgot one thing: how could she escape the stagnant water without her tentacles?

Her sea beasts had abandoned her; she could only weakly paddle with her hands, watching helplessly as the stagnant water spread over her body, eroding her strength.

Suddenly, a dark shadow loomed over Azhiqiu. She opened her mouth as if to ask for help, but couldn't utter a single word.

Meeting Chen Qing's emotionless eyes, A Zhiqiu suddenly realized that today seemed to be her death day.

The suffocating pain turned A-Zhi-Qiu's face blue and purple. Chen Qing reached out and touched the stagnant water.

It was a strange feeling; the parts that touched the stagnant water seemed to disappear completely, and her strength kept fading away. Chen Qing couldn't muster any thoughts of escaping from the stagnant water, and just let the stagnant water continue to erode her body.

No wonder sea creatures and other living beings are so terrified of the stagnant water.

Chen Qing lowered her eyes, lost in thought.

The stagnant water wasn't eroding very quickly, but it was already enveloping Chen Qing completely.

Upon seeing this scene, Azhiqiu, who had not yet completely lost consciousness, tried to twitch the corners of her mouth, but she was too weak to do anything, not even blink.

She could only think to herself with a sense of relief that at least Chen Qing would die with her, so she wouldn't have completely lost.

However, she was destined to be disappointed.
