Iris searched the entire ship, leaving no guards alive, except for Braden Gallia and his butler-like companion, who were all locked in a room.
On the deck, a green cube emitted a soft glow, completely isolating all movement inside. Iris could only watch helplessly, unable to enter.
She thought for a moment, then opened Luo Xuan's communication with the Dragon Scale Society. Before she could answer the call, a loud bang suddenly rang out, followed by a violent shaking of the entire ship.
The iris stopped moving and quickly went to the edge to look.
On the side and rear of the ship, a strangely shaped, enormous creature was seen nearby.
That thing was tens of meters long and was roughly cylindrical.
Its main body resembles the ferocious beast Chaos from the Chinese classic "Classic of Mountains and Seas," but it has no wings or feet, yet possesses a tail fin, side fins, and dorsal spines.
There are no eyes at the very front, only a huge mouth that takes up the entire head.
Its gaping maw was almost as tall as a two-story building, like a huge abyss with a dense array of sharp teeth at its mouth.
"Catastrophe-level mutant - Bloop Sea Monster! Tier 9!"
Iris gasped, "How did we manage to lure this monster out?"
The Meli Federation detected strange sonic responses in the depths of the ocean, speculating that they might be some unknown, terrifying creature, which they named the "bloop sea monster".
However, since no physical object has been detected, no one can be certain whether it actually exists.
In a certain year after the natural disaster, local governments were established in various places.
Year 129 of the Chronicle of Natural Disasters
After suffering several devastating marine disasters, the island nation of Teostra, with international support, has finally rebuilt its homeland.
They once again experienced a frenzied attack from marine aliens.
Leading them were two catastrophic, tier-nine marine mutants.
One of them is a mutant species induced by radiation from nuclear wastewater, and the other is a cylindrical fish without eyes.
The island nation of Tiandao collapsed due to a tsunami caused by two powerful alien species.
Of the two mutant species, the former was killed, while the latter escaped.
Later, its tracks were discovered again in the depths of the ocean. The previous rumors of the sea monster became a reality.
This strange, alien species was named after it.
"etc!"
Iris looked around frantically, trying to pinpoint the ship's location, but it was pitch black all around. Even with the best night vision, the faint moonlight couldn't provide enough distance to see.
While keeping a watchful eye on the strange fish's movements, Iris activated the communicator's location tracking.
Upon closer inspection, she realized that the ship was not following the safe route towards the Meli Federation at all. At some point, the ship had slightly deviated from its course and entered the alien martial law zone.
This alien martial law zone is the territory of this sea monster.
No wonder it deliberately left the deep sea to attack!
"Bang—"
The second impact worsened the damage to the ship's hull.
However, because it lacks vision, the hull has not yet been damaged in critical areas, but Iris dares not let it crash a third time.
She glanced at the still indestructible cube, then leaped onto the broken railing, facing the colossal object.
She had to stop Hua Changle before he came out!
The strange fish has no sight, but its sense of smell is extremely keen. When it senses a powerful, unfamiliar aura approaching, it immediately takes it as a provocation.
The strange fish let out a low roar, and with the airflow, it spewed out the remains of marine life that had not been fully swallowed and digested from its throat.
"Ugh, that's disgusting!"
Iris lightly touched the ground with her toes, her body rising into the air. Light condensed in her fist, and she slammed it straight into the top of the strange fish's head.
The strange fish was smashed into the sea. Iris, having landed a successful blow, immediately flew to a distance from the ship, and the sea monster followed.
Because of the fight between the man and the beast, no other creatures dared to approach, and the ship swayed precariously in the sea.
"Boom—"
The waves surged, and the strange fish, its head covered in blood, roared at Iris, whose fists were also stained red with blood.
The two sides are locked in a stalemate.
Although Iris was worried, she was not flustered.
Since the blood imprint she gave Chang Le has not yet been triggered, it means that Hua Chang Le is not in any immediate danger.
Strangely enough, just as she breathed a sigh of relief, the mark responded!
It wasn't fully triggered, but there was a reaction.
Iris cursed under her breath: What's going on! What happened?
...
Strands of green light flowed like rays of light, weaving together to form this space.
Within this solitary world, all was silent.
Mist rose all around, and lightning flashed overhead.
At this moment, everyone else is merely a foil to that person in the center.
Dressed in the dark color of the sun about to rise, the dragon pattern is painted with a mixture of tea blue, soot ink, and lead white, with brilliant gold flowing and condensing to form the dragon pattern.
The hair is cut from ink and wash to resemble sideburns, with the black hair dyed with dragon-like energy and gilded.
Long eyebrows, like those in a painting, retain an ancient charm; dragon eyes, majestic and imposing, bear the weight of gold. Vermilion lacquer adorns the lips; ice and snow sculpt the cheeks.
The morning light was captivated by its grandeur, while the cold moon was drawn to its spirit.
With its golden appearance and jade-like quality, it stands proudly and majestically.
A sense of solemnity and quietude, mountains and rivers reflected in his brows.
He simply stood there, as if the spirit of the entire land emanated from him.
For example: the Kunpeng in the sky, the ancestral dragon on earth.
This person, whose demeanor and appearance are unparalleled in the world, is the legendary one.
—The Dragon Emperor of the Ninth District, Shen Fuguang.
But the one standing here now is the form that Lu Sheng transformed using [Formless].
When Lu Sheng recalled the first time he met Shen Fuguang, a line of poetry immediately came to mind:
"I don't praise you to everyone I meet; you are both wild and chivalrous, yet also gentle and refined."
He tried to imitate it with the "Formless" method, but only achieved a resemblance of six or seven tenths. That person's temperament was unparalleled in the world.
