Chapter 532: Chapter 66: The Dragon Whale and the Harvest, Level Breakthrough! (8k)_3

Gold and white stripes intersected as they moved upward.

After waiting ten breaths, the view suddenly cleared before his eyes.

Zhao Xing immediately realized what had just passed by.

"It can’t be..."

Zhao Xing’s scalp tingled.

Before him appeared a gigantic creature, with just its tail fin measuring three to four hundred meters in length!

Its pale belly shimmered with golden patterns, which had previously obscured his view!

Its back was lined with rows of scale spikes, each one twenty to thirty meters long.

"Moo~"

A desolate sound, as if from ancient times, transmitted from the seabed into the roots of the Azure Sea Cloud Vine.

Zhao Xing then saw the massive creature open its mouth wide to swallow a Sword-toothed Black Scale Shark that had just swum past.

"A Dragon Whale, it’s a Dragon Whale!"

"Run!"

Zhao Xing’s scalp exploded, Gang Wind whirled furiously, instantly sweeping up the ice-layer’s fish baskets, including people and the cat.

Without a word, he dragged them all toward the direction of the Warm Pavilion.

"What are you doi—"

Long Xiao was picking up items enthusiastically when suddenly an intense sense of danger exploded in his mind.

He quickly sped up, pulling Chen Shijie along.

Xia Jing’s reaction was also swift, immediately activating the Azure Dragon Body Method to accelerate along Zhao Xing’s Gang Wind.

Mountain Cat, grasping the slightly slower Ji Ziyun in its mouth, advanced thunderously through the Gang Wind.

The ice surface suddenly quieted down.

Two breaths later.

"Boom!"

"Crack, crack, crack"

The surface of the water exploded, and the surrounding ice was also shattered.

The ice area Long Xiao expanded instantly doubled in size!

A giant whirlpool appeared on the sea surface, pulling in surrounding energy and all matter, grinding them down.

The next moment, a giant maw swallowed the ice, sea water, and fish, all at once!

It revealed half of its body, which resembled a mountain.

The black and golden scales shimmered radiantly under the light.

As it leapt up, it felt as if a mountain rose from the sea bed. After consuming its meal, it lunged forward again.

"Boom!"

The ice was smashed again, throwing up a gigantic wave hundreds of meters high!

"Oh my god~" Ji Ziyun’s face turned pale, "It’s a Dra, Dragon Whale!"

"A Dragon Whale, that big?!" Xia Jing, his eyes blank, had now forgotten the nausea, replaced by severe megalophobia.

"Old Chen, brace for the wave!" Zhao Xing shouted. "The Warm Pavilion is behind us, it can’t be destroyed."

"Understood." Chen Shijie quickly responded.

Both men cast spells to protect the Warm Pavilion behind them.

The waves roared, Chen Shijie, and Zhao Xing held their staffs.

Facing the hundred-meter-high waves, they jointly supported a cloud domain that enveloped the shelter.

The clouds layered like mountain peaks.

Facing the giant waves, the light shield was like a rock, steadfast amidst the massive waves.

"Whoosh~"

A few minutes later, the waves finally calmed down.

The Dragon Whale disappeared without a trace.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief, feeling like they had escaped a disaster.

"The Dragon Whale, I didn’t expect there to be such a huge one in the Extreme Night Sea." Chen Shijie was still profoundly shocked. "Its size, is already a hundred times bigger than a normal Dragon Whale!"

Zhao Xing said, "The Spiritual Beauty contained within the Dragon Whale is far stronger than ordinary fish; it’s been swallowing fishes everywhere, who knows how much Spiritual Beauty it has consumed, thus becoming stronger and stronger."

"Luckily you warned us in time," Ji Ziyun said fearfully, "otherwise, we would have been swallowed in one gulp, unable to escape the Dragon Whale’s ’Swallowing Sky Vortex.’"

"Meow!" Aotian Cat waved a paw. That sure scared the life out of the cat!

Fortunately, the Dragon Whale had lunged forward, eating and then swimming on.

Zhao Xing and the others flew in the opposite direction.

And they reacted quickly, staying far away from the area where the Dragon Whale was feeding, otherwise, their fate might have been grim.

"The path of destiny repeats: once, twice, thrice, until it exhausts," Zhao Xing’s face also looked a bit pale. "We’ve always been lucky and forgot the most basic principles."

For more than ten consecutive days, they had been lucky, encountering no danger.

At this moment, a streak of bad luck finally erupted.

Zhao Xing calculated and said, "No wonder the result before was a nine two; there is danger in adversity, seeking the least."

"It was supposed to be here."

"It was my negligence," Zhao Xing reflected, "I nearly caused everyone to be swallowed by the whale."

"Mr. Zhao, what are you saying?" Xia Jing frowned. "Is brotherhood only about sharing good fortunes?"

"Yeah, Zhao Xing," Ji Ziyun also said, "it’s not your fault, and you even warned us in time."

Chen Shijie and Long Xiao didn’t say anything; they did not blame Zhao Xing, understanding that brotherhood is held in the heart, no need for words.

"We didn’t come away empty-handed either," Ji Ziyun pointed out the fish behind them, "Although we didn’t catch them all, there are still a thousand or two thousand fish here."

"You’re not a deity, nor all-knowing and omnipotent, you shouldn’t be so hard on yourself."

While that was said, Zhao Xing still reflected deeply.

The treasure hunt had been too smooth; his Five-Finger Destiny had broken through to a higher level, causing his vigilance to drop, thus he neglected the basic principles of fortune or was overly confident in avoiding them.

"Fate is unpredictable, and its mysteries are unfathomable. Though this time we were safe, we should always prepare for the worst."

After reflecting inwardly, Zhao Xing felt he had gained a deeper understanding of the Five-Finger Destiny and the Dayan Qi Observation Skill.

"Alright, let’s divide the fish," Chen Shijie noted Zhao Xing’s mood had returned to normal, knowing he had moved on.

"First, let’s check the damages," Zhao Xing said.

"Sure."

Chen Shijie entered the shelter; although some ice had fallen inside, it was still generally intact.

However, there were some cracks in the foundation, but since the ice layer was thick enough, and the Dragon Whale hadn’t charged in this direction, it merely cracked, the ten-plus meters thick ice layer did not completely break.

The damage to the shelter was minimal.

"The fishing rods are gone," Long Xiao said, "All five fishing rods are missing; we don’t know if they were swallowed by the Dragon Whale or swept away by the waves."
