BXBX NOVEL Chapter 975 - One Year Later
Chapter 975: One Year Later
A full year and a half had passed since the war on the ancient battlefield.
The Scattered Stars Island had slightly relaxed the entry standards of the schools in the 36 towns and the seven academies in the Thousand Star City.
At the same time, they allowed some of the peak-level Dangling Fishers in the level-three fishery to enter the island.
Although they just relaxed the standards a little bit, it resulted in hundreds of thousands of people swarming into the Scattered Stars Island all at once.
After all, the population under the rule of the Thousand Star City was too large.
Because of the participation of these people, those who were originally stationed on the Scattered Stars Island could go a little deeper into the waters around the island to hunt.
This year had the most breakthroughs with the people on the Scattered Stars Island.
Because there was no invasion of sea demons, the strength of human beings grew quickly. At least, many peak-level Dangling Fishers made breakthroughs and became Hanging Fishers.
Of course, that was because offshore waters were relatively safe. Humans only faced the danger from the ocean and didn’t have to deal with the intrusion of sea demons.
However, in the sea area 200,000 kilometer away, there were still many sea demons.
Although the Ten Thousand Demon Valley suffered from a heavy blow, causing the sea demon’s battle line to draw back, due to the danger and vastness of the ocean, humans still couldn’t set foot in the farther deep seas.
During this year, some people quietly rose, and some people’s stories had also been passed on by word of mouth.
In fact, in the ocean, any battle could become a legend.
For example, someone discovered a little secret realm today. As long as the explorer survived, people would have one more topic in the carnival shop.
Or someone had found a certain strange creature somewhere. They would exaggerate the hunting process, which could also become a piece of talk.
Anyway, the carnival shop was a place for people to drink and brag. Every day, there were countless stories left here.
But sometimes, sad news could also be heard there.
For example, a team went to sea but never came back...
A certain human being was found to have a problem and was arrested by the Scattered Stars Prison...
Someone was fighting against sea demons in the outer waters...
And among them, one story went like this:
It was said that several mysterious people appeared in the outer sea. They were very elusive, and in just one year, no fewer than 100 sea-demon dens were sniped by them.
Some people said that they were actually Law Enforcers.
Some people said that they were from the Empyrean Waterfall. After they were allowed to leave the waterfall, they went to sea to kill sea demons to vent.
Someone said that he was saved when he was exploring in that sea area, and the one who saved him was Han Fei. He recognized him because of his Phantom Glass Wings.
Anyway, there were many sayings about those mysterious people, and everyone had their own version of the story.
...
This day.
The sky was clear and cloudless.
About 600,000 kilometers away from the Scattered Stars Island, in a deep-sea valley, four people were lying in a sandpit.
Le Renkuang said, “Feifei, it’s been three days. Why haven’t those sea demons come out yet?”
Luo Xiaobai assured him, “Don’t worry. This secret realm isn’t large. Maybe there is something in it that attracts them.”
Zhang Xuanyu played with the sand in boredom and said, “Why don’t we just go in and kill them?”
Han Fei was chewing dried fish and said lazily, “No rush. This time, these sea demons have a Sea Spirit powerhouse as the team leader, and there are a large number of them. If some of them die in the secret realm, there will be less pressure on us! Let’s wait two more hours. If they still don’t come out in two hours, let’s go in.”
Not long after, a Sea Spirit-level sea demon appeared in a seemingly normal stone in the valley.
The sea demon looked around and didn’t find anything wrong, so he casually waited for the sea demons behind to come out.
Han Fei grinned. “OK, let’s get him.”
Swish, Swish, Swish, Swish...
The four of them launched an attack at the same time, regardless of the other sea demons. As long as they resolved this Sea Spirit first, the rest could pose them no threat.
The Sea Spirit was startled.
But instead of turning his head, he directly activated his secret method, launched Sea God Descends, and released his Associate Spirit.
However, a large number of vines rushed out of the ground, and a thorn light appeared on his back instantly, not allowing him to escape. At this time, space here had already been distorted.
“Humph! Are you only Hidden Fishers? Die!”
Ignoring Zhang Xuanyu’s spear, the sea demon activated a flash-type combat technique similar to Flying Flower Demon Flash. However, space was distorted, and he was stabbed in the shoulder by Zhang Xuanyu’s spear.
“How is this possible?”
“Hoooooo!”
As soon as the Sea Spirit flashed out, a pair of Phantom Glass Wings appeared in the place where he was about to reach ahead of him.
Dazzling fist marks illuminated the seawater that was shrouded in darkness.
“Blood Burning!”
The Sea Spirit still tried to resist only to find the power of this Hidden Fisher actually reached 2 waves.
BAM!
This person was directly blasted into a big black hole.
Hum!
This Sea Spirit didn’t even have a chance to activate Sea God Descends before he was sucked into the big hole.
A cold blade of light stretched out of the big black hole and pierced the Semi-Divine battle suit on his body.
“Parasitic Technique!”
Then something began to sprout inside the Sea Spirit. Horrible vitality erupted from his body, and seaweed grew wildly in his wounds, mouth and nose.
“Three Tremors to the Sea.”
Boom... Boom... Boom...
The ten-meter space around the Sea Spirit was shaking, and each time it shook, it contained a horrible power.
Being shocked three times in a row, the Sea Spirit had its five internal organs shattered and his bones broken.
Han Fei didn’t even launch an attack. The other three had cooperated to kill the sea demon. Since the moment Zhang Xuanyu’s spear pierced the Sea Spirit’s body, the latter had no power to fight back.
The Sea Spirit tried to use the power of the law, but his law was the sound wave. Subject to a series of attacks, he had no chance to use it.
Besides, his Associate Spirit didn’t listen to his call at all as if being controlled by others.
So what else could he do?
He tried to use the Immortal Seal.
However, at the moment his heart was pierced through, a terrifying soul power took over its body. At that moment, this Sea Spirit’s soul was controlled and he died without even having the chance to use the Immortal Seal.
And as soon as he died, his Associate Spirit, a big jellyfish, was held by Han Fei with the Void Lines and cut into pieces.
The battle ended within three seconds. A Sea Spirit-level powerhouse was easily killed by Han Fei and his companions.
Swish!
When the second sea demon came out of the secret realm, he happened to see this scene, and Han Fei even beckoned at him, “Surprised?”
After slaughtering more than 30 sea demons in a row, they were sure the remaining 20-odd sea demons should have died in the secret realm.
This time, the harvest was quite abundant. They obtained three full Sea Swallowing Seashells, which contained more than 100,000 catties of spiritual spring, a mid-quality Divine weapon, a bottle of medicine, nearly a hundred spiritual fruits, and dozens of combat skills.
However, they didn’t take these spoils seriously.
For human beings, the fastest way to grow was to obtain resources in the ocean. And they had done things like today dozens of times and had long been used to it.
Three hours later...
The four of them came out of the secret realm. Most of the secret realm was destroyed. It looked to be the residence of a prehistoric sea demon, and they didn’t find anything here.
Luo Xiaobai said, “If we don’t go to the Ten Thousand Demon Valley, many things here are actually of little use to us unless we find a large secret realm... However, these are extremely rare. Shall we return to the Scattered Stars Island?”
Han Fei nodded slightly, then shook his head. “Xiaobai, don’t you feel that something is wrong?”
Luo Xiaobai took a look at Han Fei and thought for a while. “Yes, there seems to be something wrong. If I were that Sea Spirit, I would find a way to bring the prehistoric creature inside back to the Ten Thousand Demon Valley. This would be better than killing it.”
Han Fei nodded. “Yes, but the ancient sea demon inside is dead. We can’t know its intentions now...”
Zhang Xuanyu said, “Will there be any clues in the resources we just seized?”
Luo Xiaobai nodded. “Wait, let me check it.”
Le Renkuang said, “I think it’s simple! If we met someone from ancient times, we would also treat him as an enemy.”
After a while, Luo Xiaobai shook her head. “I found no clue. There are only simple resources.”
Han Fei smiled and said, “Forget it, let’s go back to the island! No matter what, sea demons won’t be able to attack the Scattered Stars Island in the foreseeable future. And it’s time for us to go to the Thousand Star City.”
Zhang Xuanyu jested. “Xiaobai, You’re going home soon. Are you excited?”
Luo Xiaobai said indifferently, “No.”
Zhang Xuanyu curled his lips. “You’re so boring. Are there many beauties in the Thousand Star City? Mmm...”
