In the eternal night, there is no movement of the sun, no guidance of starlight, only the dull and oppressive darkness that shrouds everything.
In this endless darkness, Gu Xi could not perceive the passage of time through light. She could only occasionally look down at the bracelet on her wrist, relying on the game system to confirm the progress of time.
Recalling her previous "encounter" with the deep-sea creatures, Gu Xi gradually slowed down her pace. She no longer blindly pursued the unknown territories of the ocean, but instead focused more on improving her own strength.
After last night's arduous training, her mental strength successfully jumped from D-level to C-level, which made her clearly feel a significant improvement in her strength.
She could originally only control eight spikes, but now that number has doubled, a progress that she is very pleased with.
However, she also clearly realized that the further one progresses in mental strength, the more difficult it becomes to improve.
It takes 1,000 experience points to go from D to C, but the experience points required to go from C to B are five times higher.
Without special opportunities or extra help, she would need to spend more time and effort to bridge this gap.
Haste makes waste; all she can do is to do her best in whatever she can.
The sea under the white night sky was so still it was almost unsettling. Only the soft glow of the shark pearl spilled across the nearby water, its white radiance swaying gently with the rise and fall of the waves.
Suddenly, Gu Xi felt the deck beneath her feet begin to tremble slightly. At first, she thought it was her imagination, but soon the trembling intensified, and the entire ship began to rock.
Immediately afterwards, the octopus, which had been much more docile recently, suddenly became restless, waving its tentacles and slapping the ground.
The sharks in the sea also quickened their swimming speed, darting back and forth across the water.
Even the king shark, which was lurking in the water, couldn't help but surface and stick out its head, making strange noises.
Gu Xi releases his mental energy, enhancing his five senses to perceive changes in his surroundings.
Suddenly, she sensed an extremely powerful energy wave surging from the depths of the sea to the surface.
Under the influence of this energy wave, the items on the ship also began to shake violently.
The flowerpots that had just been tidied up on the third floor were now breaking free of their restraints and falling from the height, crashing one after another onto the deck on the first floor.
Gu Xi's eyes sharpened as he quickly considered the current situation.
The Crimson Gaze did not emit a red light, indicating this was not an enemy attack. The sea breeze was gentle and could not have caused such a strong tremor.
Right now, the only thing she can think of is an undersea earthquake.
As soon as the thought crossed her mind, Gu Xi didn't have time to think about it further, because she felt the sea becoming even more turbulent, with giant waves rolling towards the ship.
In the darkness, she could not see the exact height of the waves and could only rely on her mental power to sense the surging waves.
Just then, a huge wave surged in front of the ship.
With the help of the faint light emitted by the shark pearl, Gu Xi finally saw the true face of the giant wave.
The giant waves approaching the ship were so high that their tops were completely invisible. This towering wall of water crashed down on the ship with overwhelming force and without mercy.
Boom—
Just as the giant wave was about to hit the ship, a protective shield instantly formed, tightly protecting the vessel.
In an instant, the giant wave collided violently with the defensive shield, producing a deafening roar.
