After thinking for a moment, I used my consciousness to search through my spatial storage and retrieved two miners' safety helmets with top lights. These were free gifts that came with the shockproof case I bought.
She didn't think much of it at the time. She just threw it in a corner, but unexpectedly it came in handy now, providing both light and protection for her head—a win-win situation!
Once the two put on their safety helmets, the headlamps shone so brightly they could illuminate more than ten meters underwater. Xiao Lingfeng smiled, about to praise Jian Ning.
Before he could even open his mouth, he felt a ripple in the water. He shouted "Be careful!" and turned his head slightly to the side. A huge pincer pierced past his ear.
Jian Ning had already swung her sword and sliced off the monster's head.
"I'll attack, you cover, and don't forget to collect your head." In the blink of an eye, swarms of octopus monsters swam over from the water.
Looking around, the tentacles of these monsters waved like seaweed in the sea, numerous and dense, creating a visually striking effect.
Jian Ning wasn't afraid of their numbers, but rather that they wouldn't come closer. The Ruoshui Sword in her hand seemed to suddenly manifest thousands of clones, which she kept wielding.
They specifically target the octopus monster's head; they're practically monster head harvesters.
Xiao Lingfeng followed behind her, his hands aching from picking up heads. It was clear that Jian Ning was truly determined to kill this time.
In just over ten minutes,
The seawater in front of them was stained with the dark blue blood flowing from the monsters' corpses, and everywhere they looked, there were the mangled limbs of the octopus monsters.
"Let's go, let's move forward a little." Jian Ning didn't even need to ask; she knew that Xiao Lingfeng would definitely be able to collect every single monster's head.
The Ruoshui Sword in his hand trembled slightly twice, instantly becoming gleaming. All the monsters' blood was blasted away.
Xiao Lingfeng quickly followed behind, keeping pace with Jian Ning. Along their journey, the octopus monster in the water had a very unfortunate time.
I was just living peacefully in my own home, and yet people kept coming to attack me, and they were all so powerful, wielding incredibly sharp swords that could snatch a head off with a single touch. I had absolutely no chance to fight back.
Having realized Jian Ning's power, the octopus monsters stopped attacking her and her companions.
As soon as the two approached, they scattered and fled. Even the fish in the water rushed away. If a cell phone could record this, the scene would surely be spectacular.
"Let's go upstairs and rest for a while to recover our strength." Jian Ning felt that she couldn't take the continuous output of spiritual energy anymore.
The air is already thin in the sea. They've been down there for almost two hours without surfacing. They need to go back up and see where they are.
“Okay,” Xiao Lingfeng agreed, took Jian Ning’s hand, and they rose directly to the surface of the sea. He also took out a kayak from his spatial storage, and the two of them landed on it.
Looking around, she realized she had already walked several hundred meters from the coastline. She hadn't gone very far. Jian Ning took out some hot water from her spatial storage, dissolved some medicinal powder in it, and then began to meditate.
The spiritual energy in her previously empty dantian began to frantically devour and absorb upon contact with the power of the powder. A short while later, Jian Ning opened her eyes, clearly feeling the increase in her cultivation level.
With bright eyes, she looked up at Xiao Lingfeng and said, "This time, you kill the monsters and I'll collect their heads. Let's take turns, consider it training, and it'll help us improve our cultivation quickly."
"Okay. Why don't you rest a bit more? There's no rush, this monster can't escape in the sea."
As Xiao Lingfeng spoke, he didn't forget to kill two octopus monsters that tried to climb onto the assault boat.
"It's fully recovered, let's hurry up."
Such a good opportunity for cultivation shouldn't be wasted. Jian Ning stood up and jumped back into the sea. Not a single wave was stirred up.
Xiao Lingfeng packed up the kayak and jumped down as well. With a wave of his sword, his aura immediately became sharp and fierce. He was like a sword drawn from its sheath.
The sea monsters noticed the light from their headlamps and began to gather there again. This time, their numbers were even greater than before.
Jian Ning was happy to relax, watching Xiao Linfeng relentlessly kill monsters ahead.
She picked up the monster heads one by one and put them into her storage bag, walking leisurely as if she were strolling in her own backyard.
Take a moment to admire the underwater scenery. Those once-cute little fish in the distant coral reefs, now, due to pollution, have even grown two fleshy fins on their backs.
If we let them continue to develop and mutate like this for ten or twenty years, who knows if they will turn into flying fish?
While lost in thought, a sudden, inexplicable sense of crisis surged into his heart. He instantly erected a spiritual energy shield and shouted, "Be careful!"
With a twist of his body, he felt something whoosh as it struck the protective barrier and passed right through it. Yes! It passed right through. This spiritual energy barrier couldn't even withstand its attack.
Jian Ning's heart skipped a beat. So fast, it was impossible for the naked eye to catch a trace of it—what was it?
Because the underwater lighting was poor, it only shone directly in front of the overhead light, so she couldn't see any shadow of the creature that had attacked her.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Lingfeng took a step back, his sword still wielding the blade as he continued to kill the monster, and asked with concern.
"Let's go up first."
Fearing that thing would return, Jian Ning grabbed Xiao Lingfeng's arm and rushed out of the water. She took out a set of armor from her storage bracelet and handed it to him.
"Wearing this, you'll see other creatures in the sea that move extremely fast, making it impossible to see what they are."
Even my spiritual energy shield can be broken through, so be careful when you go down later.
"Okay, don't you have this?" Xiao Lingfeng took the protective soft armor, but instead of putting it on, he looked at Jian Ning and asked.
"Of course I put it on a long time ago, you'd better hurry up."
Jian Ning wasn't telling the truth. The armor she gave Xiao Lingfeng was a top-grade item, sold at Wanbaolou. There was only one of its kind.
I put in a lot of effort back then, going out to do missions and saving up spirit stones for a long time before I finally had enough money.
Xiao Lingfeng didn't doubt Jian Ning's words; after all, no one knew how many valuable things she possessed.
This armor could change size according to his body shape; once he put it on, it would automatically disappear into his clothes and be completely invisible.
And he felt nothing at all. It was as if he wasn't wearing anything. Xiao Lingfeng curiously touched his clothes a couple of times, figuring that Jian Ning must also be wearing the armor.
He picked up his sword and then plunged into the sea.
