Xiao Tangqiu frowned, thinking quickly. If one of the giant octopus and the bony whale had to die, what would the surviving one do next? Would they still have to deal with the surviving sea monster? What exactly was the "lost treasure" of this mission? Could it be the demon's blood?
If so, does their mission this time involve retrieving the demon blood from the survivors?
Xiao Tangqiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly told this guess to Shen Yuan beside him. Shen Yuan nodded and said, "That should be it."
Xiao Tangqiu murmured, "Shouldn't we pray for them to fight even harder, ideally leaving both of them half dead?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Mianmian, who was hugging a large reef not far away, suddenly shouted, "The winner is decided!"
Xiao Tangqiu's heart suddenly tightened, and he quickly looked up. Has the winner been decided? Who was the victorious sea monster? Who would be their next opponent?
As he looked up, he was stunned by the incredibly tragic scene before him—the bony whale had trapped the giant octopus in its body, its gastric juices completely corroding most of the octopus. The giant octopus died with its eyes open, its pitted body revealing the red and white flesh within. Its terrifying tentacles, covered in serrated suckers, had fallen off one after another. But the bony whale hadn't suffered any better. Almost all of its supporting bones had been broken by the giant octopus's violent impact, and its head had been pierced from the inside out by a thick tentacle—
The two huge sea monsters let out two long wail sounds at the same time, then crashed into the sea, instantly raising huge waves hundreds of meters high!
They died together!
Xiao Tangqiu had never anticipated this outcome. This tragic scene left him dazed for a long time. Only when the monstrous wave crashed towards him did he instinctively try to dodge, but how could he avoid a wave that was hundreds of meters long? Getting hit by such a huge wave would be like being hit in the face by hundreds of bricks at once, right?
At this moment, Shen Yuan grabbed his wrist and dragged him deep into the sea.
He subconsciously struggled a few times at first, but after realizing that the person who grabbed his wrist was Shen Yuan, he hesitated for a moment, gave up struggling, and swam to the depths of the sea with Shen Yuan.
Although the surface of the sea was muddy due to the two sea monsters, the deeper the sea was, the cleaner and clearer it became. Xiao Tangqiu gradually saw Shen Yuan's face. In the dark blue and clear sea water, Shen Yuan's face seemed to be surrounded by a layer of faint blue light.
Shen Yuan looked at Xiao Tangqiu quietly in the sea water, and Xiao Tangqiu also looked back at Shen Yuan across the sea water. He couldn't help but feel moved. This seemed to be the first time that he and Shen Yuan looked into each other's eyes so calmly after his resurrection.
Shen Yuan grabbed Xiao Tangqiu's wrist and swam deeper and deeper. The deeper they went, the calmer the sea seemed. Xiao Tangqiu completely gave up struggling and let Shen Yuan pull him deeper.
When the sea was rough, it was indeed safer underwater. Even though he had realized that Shen Yuan might be in danger of being controlled by someone, for some reason, he was clearly unwilling to doubt Shen Yuan at this moment... Or perhaps even though he had begun to doubt Shen Yuan, he was still willing to go to the depths of the sea with Shen Yuan.
Just like the sailor who was bewitched by the mermaid, after he fell into the water, bewitched by the mermaid's singing, he might have had a moment of clarity, but in the end he was still willingly dragged into the depths of the sea by the mermaid...
