Chapter 519: Chapter 356: What Kind of Monster Is This?_2

Sean Knight didn’t expect such a situation, but he had already pulled the ring and threw the hand grenade directly at the monster’s head!

And one after another!

It seemed that the lungfish were also afraid of Sean. After Sean killed the first lungfish, the others that rushed forward started to eat that lungfish, leaving Sean alone to throw the grenades with ease!

He threw five grenades in total and then stopped.

However, he felt only three explosions. Two were duds.

The huge monster was blown to pieces, and Sean guessed it wouldn’t attack him again, so he immediately floated up.

After all, his oxygen was running low now.

As for the things below, he didn’t plan to deal with them anymore.

Anyway, the water was flowing down, and these creatures didn’t seem to have the will to come up. Or perhaps the water channel was winding, and these big creatures couldn’t make it up. If some small ones occasionally came up, they would probably become food in other fish’s mouths.

After struggling, Sean finally saw the entrance for getting in the water. He let out a sigh of relief, knowing he could finally go up.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a tight grip on his foot!

When he looked down, he realized that the monster had somehow swum back to him at some point!

At this point, the monster’s half-mouth bit down on Sean’s swim fin!

The monster looked miserable at this moment, with several large chunks of flesh missing from its back, its spine exposed, and a hollow place on one side of its ribcage with half of its internal organs outside.

Its tail had also been torn into several strips, a cattail leaf fan turned into a broken fan.

Both of its arms had been cut off by Sean earlier, so now the only way it could seek revenge was to bite Sean’s foot and then shake him vigorously!

Some lungfish were lurking nearby but didn’t dare to get close, obviously frightened by the explosion.

Some smaller fish, probably attracted by the smell of blood, foolishly followed and nipped at the monster’s body, bite after bite...

With its great strength and desperation, the monster bit hard on Sean’s swim fin and shook it off...

Sean was stunned, and so was the monster.

How did it come off so easily?

Then the monster swallowed the swim fin... which wasn’t tasty at all.

Sean had already taken out a grenade but didn’t throw it down in the end.

After growing to such a large size, he decided to spare its life!

While the monster was struggling, Sean shot up and entered the water channel.

Going up would be more difficult, because there was still water flowing down. Fortunately, Sean was strong and grabbed the rocks to climb step by step.

Suddenly, something crawled out of the crevice, giving Sean a fright!

However, that thing wasn’t big. Sean had been concentrating on the water flow above and hadn’t paid attention to the crevice. That’s why he was scared.

What landed on his hand was a translucent creature, similar to the common hexagon-headed dinosaur-like pet in cities. In fact, it was an amphibian, like an axolotl or a mudpuppy.

However, this one was translucent, with horns or tentacles on its head. It was about 50 centimeters long and didn’t fear humans. It crawled onto Sean’s hand and wrapped itself around him.

Well, if you won’t leave, I’ll take you with me!

Sean didn’t bother with it, crawled out of the water entrance, and finally took a deep breath.

Seeing that his oxygen was really low, he casually took out a bottle from his spatial realm, put the creature inside, and then moved the rocks to increase the water flow at the exit before slowly floating up.

While floating, he took out two sacrificial implements, one bronze and one gold, as a consolation prize.

When Sean floated to the surface, he found that Elijah Hastings and Lincoln Harrington were nervously watching from their small boat.

Although Sean told them not to go down, he had been underwater for too long, and they couldn’t help but worry.

Seeing Sean emerge, they immediately paddled over and helped him onto the boat.

"Boss, that was a really long time underwater!" Elijah said.

"Look, it was mainly because of this thing." Sean shook the bottle, "It wasn’t easy to catch."

"This... it really looks like that dragon-like creature we saw online!"

"A newt, perhaps?" Lincoln Harrington, who has more knowledge, guessed.

"Close enough, let’s raise it for now." Sean Knight put down the bottle.

At this moment, Lincoln noticed that Sean’s diving fins were gone, and immediately asked:

"Boss, did you encounter an attack underwater?"

Elijah Hastings also noticed and immediately looked up, waiting for Sean’s answer.

"There was a big fish, quite large-sized." Sean smiled, "It swallowed my fins as soon as it came up and made me kill it with a fish gun. However, I didn’t take out that thing, it went into the fish’s stomach, might have bitten it."

Both Elijah and Lincoln were somewhat worried.

"Boss, shall we go down and sweep a bit, or find some bait to deal with these guys?"

"No need, no need." Sean smiled, "It should be gone. Although the lake is not large, the number of fish inside is not large either. There are only one or two of them, don’t worry about it."

He also put down the two sacrificial artifacts he was carrying, "Although it was a bit dangerous, there are still gains, enough to pay your wages."

Elijah and Lincoln didn’t respond well to this joke, so Elijah changed the subject:

"Douglas has grilled the fish, shall we go back?"

"Let’s go back. I’m tired. No more diving today, we’ll talk about it tomorrow!"

The boat paddled to the shore, Elijah and Lincoln released the air together and packed it up, then walked to the campsite with Sean.

"It seems that the mastermind behind the attack was that young man. Once he was done, no one else came afterward. The helicopters are not coming either."

Sean spoke as they walked, "Ignore them. Now we can be justified. If anyone comes, let’s drive them away. The water underneath has started to surge again, and in a few days, once the water volume increases, even if someone comes, they won’t be able to grab anything underwater."

Lincoln and Elijah glanced at each other, both understanding the other’s thoughts.

The water volume, it turns out, was Boss’s doing!

The water went down these two days, and now it’s coming up again... Boss is kind of awesome!

Sean didn’t care about their thoughts and found himself a bit tired and hungry once he got out of the water.

It was probably because he stayed underwater for so long, and also because he encountered an attack and was a bit nervous.

At the campsite, Douglas Cooper was already anxious. Seeing them return, he immediately greeted them with a smile:

"Boss, if you don’t come back, we will have to dive in to search for you."

"I won’t dive for that long in the future." Sean replied, "Let me show you something nice."

He showed the bottle he was holding to Douglas, who was also very surprised:

"This thing... it does look a bit like a dragon. It should be a close relative of the baby fish, right? It looks pretty!"

Sean was somewhat proud: "It will be my pet from now on. Raise it, it’s pleasing to the eye."

After dinner, Sean said to the others:

"You guys stay here, I’m going for a walk."

Elijah and the other two understood that Sean did not want them to follow, so they stayed at the campsite.

Sean went to the edge of another large pit where he had dug out sacrificial artifacts and took out the skull.

He wanted to completely absorb the energy from the bones of the boy here.

Climbing a tree, Sean began to absorb the energy of the skull.

The energy of the skull was huge, and for some reason, whether it was due to being in a human bone or some other reason, Sean absorbed it extremely easily. In just a short while, the energy in his body had reached its peak!

However, Sean did not stop – the energy showed no signs of halting, continuously "pouring" into Sean’s body!

It wasn’t until the barrier to the next level was breached that Sean’s Sky Eye was upgraded again!

Meanwhile, the skull’s energy was still rapidly transmitting into Sean’s body, with a portion going into the Jade Space, until the energy in the skull was completely transmitted clean!

At that moment, Sean opened his eyes and found that the skull had turned jade-like and was emitting a faint glow.

He was somewhat eager to know the new functions of Sky Eye after the upgrade!
