Chapter 604: Chapter 605: Miracle of the Deep Sea_1

"What is that?"

As Hua Yiyou was observing the island Leviathan, he noticed something strange in the distance. Looking up, he saw a pair of lantern-sized green lights seemingly moving toward their location.

Kui Shui Xuanwu issued a warning roar, and the surrounding currents began to flow rapidly under its control, forming a water barrier around Kui Shui Xuanwu as a huge belt-shaped giant fish with a mouth full of sharp teeth charged towards Kui Shui Xuanwu.

"This White Bone Leviathan can’t be that stupid."

Feng Yuan looked at the belt-shaped giant fish with disbelief. Its vast body was almost entirely composed of huge and sturdy bones. The White Bone Leviathan bit at the barrier but the water held and it couldn’t close its mouth.

"So that’s not a Spirit Beast?"

"It’s just big, nothing else."

After glancing at Guo Huai, Feng Yuan calmly stated, despite its enormous size, the White Bone Leviathan clearly overestimated its ability to breach the defense. Kui Shui Xuanwu seemed a bit angered by the clumsy fish’s provocation, howling as its coiled serpent body fiercely bit at the White Bone Leviathan.

"Wouldn’t it be easier to just send it away with one Water Roar?"

Feng Yuan watched unimpressed as the serpent body kept toying with the White Bone Leviathan, occasionally biting it. Before long, the White Bone Leviathan, under the attack of Kui Shui Xuanwu’s serpent body, became covered in wounds and swiftly retreated. The White Bone Leviathan quickly fled towards the distance, and Kui Shui Xuanwu did not pursue, simply letting it escape.

"Just letting it go like that?"

Guo Huai was puzzled, he had thought that Kui Shui Xuanwu would severely punish the White Bone Leviathan. Feng Yuan glanced at Guo Huai and said,

"Otherwise? The number of creatures underwater isn’t that many overall. That guy was just a bit dumb, but not to the point of extermination, right?"

"I didn’t mean that, I just found it strange that Kui Shui Xuanwu didn’t teach it a lesson?"

"It probably wasn’t necessary, and of course, only it knows the exact reason."

Feng Yuan shrugged helplessly, he wasn’t really sure as he certainly wasn’t a worm in Kui Shui Xuanwu’s stomach to know what it was thinking.

"What is that?"

Looking at the glowing, gigantic, tree-shaped plant before him, Guo Huai grew curious. The shape of the branches of that plant was not much different from the trees on the ground. However, instead of leaves, where branches should have produced leaves, there were glowing bubble-like objects.

"Tree of Life, Miracle Tree, Breeding Tree, call it whatever you like."

Feng Yuan examined the plant, noticing that numerous small fish were emerging from the bubbles. Compared to the barren seafloor, those bubbles seemed like a miniature ecosystem, complete with plants and animals. After observing it for a while, Guo Huai understood why Feng Yuan would refer to that plant-like tree in such a manner.

If he wasn’t mistaken, many of the fishes underwater relied on this so-called Tree of Life for reproduction. Despite their small size, it seemed that those large predators were very wary of that plant.

Just a moment ago, a White Bone Leviathan had abruptly turned sharply in front of that huge tree, as if terrified to collide with it.

"Are there many of these things?"

Pointing to that plant, Guo Huai asked Feng Yuan. As for Hua Yiyou and the others? They were clueless about the special significance of this object; to them, it was just a plant capable of breeding fish.

"Not too many, but very important. These plants practically determine the upper limits of the marine populations in the entire seabed area."

After Feng Yuan combined the information he had gathered with the plant before them, Liu Wenli, somewhat puzzled, asked,

"Isn’t that just a fish-breeding tree? Why is it so important?"

"Food. That tree constantly breeds fry, which in turn are the larger fish’s food. You can’t expect the small fish to survive on the underwater plants, can you?"

Saying this, Feng Yuan pointed at the base of the plant,

"Look there."

At that moment, a ribbonfish-looking creature about one meter wide arrived at the root of the tree, nibbling at the green ribbon-like leaves growing from the roots.

"That’s..."

"Their real source of sustenance. They can’t live solely on those seafloor plants."

Saying this, Feng Yuan glanced at Guo Huai and continued,

"The depths of the Starlit Sea have no microorganisms. That thing directly extracts the Life Force from the rock layers of the seabed to breed the small fish and their food."

Feng Yuan gestured for everyone to pay attention to the creature that resembled a ribbonfish. The creature only fed for a moment before swiftly swimming away, while the ribbon-like plant it had nibbled on was rapidly growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"How magical, could it be a Spirit Beast?"

Mo Ling said in surprise, she couldn’t believe that an ordinary plant could do this. Feng Yuan shook his head and said

"No, have you forgotten about Spirit Plants? This is a Spirit Plant, as for its specific name... it has none."

"Why doesn’t it have one?"

Mo Ling was somewhat puzzled, it seemed incredible to her that such a miraculous thing didn’t have a name. Hua Yiyou was taken aback, then smiled and said

"Because no one has named it, right?"

"This is the Deep Sea, untouched by humans; this thing probably only exists here, right? If no one has seen it, naturally it won’t have a name. Of course, if you want, you can also name it."

Liu Wenli said, looking at Mo Ling, who thought for a moment then laughed and waved her hand,

"Forget it, whatever name I give it would be meaningless."

"Indeed, in a place unknown to men, whatever you call it is meaningless."

After taking a tour around the sea bottom and experiencing an environment completely different from the surface, Kui Shui Xuanwu started carrying everyone back toward the surface. Guo Huai looked at Feng Yuan and said

"Shall we just go back?"

"Through Nan Huang, huh..."

Wei Dingwu seemed a bit disheartened, then lifted his head and gave a reluctant smile,

"Let’s go, there’s no need to delay on the sea."

Glancing at Wei Dingwu, Feng Yuan smiled and said

"It’s not that bad, don’t you trust him? Just a little time, we can still make do, right~"

With a slight smile, Mo Li said

"Actually, I’m quite curious if they can find a suitable place to settle down. Like he said, we’re not in a rush for a day or two; at most, we’ll just rush through day and night on the way back."

"Day and night rush?!"

Feng Yuan was taken aback, seeing Mo Li’s calm demeanor, he scratched his head and began to recall which Divine Beast was available recently and also had to be terrestrial. Thinking of this, Feng Yuan sneakily glanced in the direction of Kui Shui Xuanwu’s head, thought for a moment, but then gave up. Although Kui Shui Xuanwu was not slow moving on land, it didn’t have an attached space on its back. That is to say, if it wanted to carry people, it would have to maintain its huge shape.

However, a gigantic Kui Shui Xuanwu walking on land... Feng Yuan didn’t need to guess to know it would definitely cause chaos, and it was not unimaginable that it might even be perceived as an invader by Nan Huang.

As for the Divine Beasts that could carry people, had an attached space and were available, Feng Yuan racked his brain but couldn’t come up with a suitable one.

"Forget it, if that doesn’t work, we’ll ask Gitalien for help."

Feng Yuan thought for a while and gave up. Mainly because there were no Divine Beasts in the Divine Land Region that met the requirements. As for the non-Divine Beasts, although they existed, he couldn’t find any. Agunas’s shadow flicked its tail and said

"How many Divine Beasts are you planning to ask for help just for a trip out?"

"Not many, just Kui Shui Xuanwu, right? I haven’t asked Gitalien yet; it might not be available."

"Don’t you think that opening a gate straight to Yongning City will cause their unease?"

"I don’t think so, besides, just don’t open the gate directly to Yongning. Couldn’t we find a nearby forest or something?"

"What gate are you talking about?"

Mo Li interrupted Feng Yuan and Agunas’s shadow’s conversation with a puzzled tone, although she had some guesses, the thought was too astonishing. After looking at Mo Li, Feng Yuan said curiously

"Of course, the Space Gate. Isn’t it simple to just open it near Yongning City? It’s convenient and fast."

"You can open a Space Gate over such a long distance?"

Liu Wenli was somewhat surprised; she had seen Spirit Beasts that could open Space Gates, but most of them could only open gates over short distances. From here to Great Li’s Yongning, in her memory, no Divine Lord had ever managed to do that.
