Chapter 615: Chapter 615: Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals

"What happened?"

Qin Jun rushed out of the room and asked, as he noticed all the soldiers were extremely tense. Following their gaze, his own eyes widened in astonishment.

To the left of the magical ship, a colossal creature had surfaced out of nowhere, its body alone, rising two thousand feet above the sea level, resembling a giant mountain standing on the ocean surface. In front of it, the magical ship seemed utterly insignificant.

It was deep blue all over, and from its silhouette, Qin Jun was involuntarily reminded of a specific creature, a whale.

It was clear this demon whale surpassed all species on Earth, perhaps even as tall as the Himalayas.

Li Yuanba came over and asked, "Your Majesty, should I finish it off?"

Chang’e, who was nearby, snorted coldly, "All beings have spirits. If you keep on killing, be careful of the karmic retribution that will follow you!"

Li Yuanba scratched his head and let out a silly laugh, embarrassed by her comment. If it were any other woman, he might have simply hammered her, but Chang’e was his colleague, and moreover, Qin Jun seemed to have feelings for her, so he could only feign ignorance and laugh to ease the embarrassment.

Zhu Bajie ran over and said, "This demon seems to have been severely injured. It has just surfaced from the deep sea."

Amazement covered his face.

This was the first time he had seen such a huge demon whale.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for summoning the shrimp soldiers and crab generals!"

Just then, the system’s notification sound suddenly rang, causing Qin Jun to freeze.

Shrimp soldiers and crab generals?

His mouth twitched, and he ordered Zhu Bajie, "Let’s go around it!"

The demon did not attack them, and it was severely wounded, so Qin Jun saw no need to kill it outright.

After all, the entire Southernmost Sea would be under his control in the future; he couldn’t just kill all the demon beasts, or else the Southernmost Sea would become a dead sea.

"System, pull up the attribute list of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals for me to see."

Qin Jun urged inwardly, even if they were just shrimp soldiers and crab generals, they were still the Sea Dragon King’s forces, waging wars across the ocean.

No sooner had he spoken than a screen, visible only to him, appeared before his eyes:

"Shrimp soldiers and crab generals, from mythology!"

"Number of members: 500,000!"

"Cultivation: Ascending Mortal Realm level one to Transforming Void Realm level five!"

Hmm, indeed they were shrimp soldiers and crab generals, with no special attributes.

But with a count of five hundred thousand, they could indeed be of help to Qin Jun.

Meanwhile, the magical ship continued forward, maintaining a distance of a kilometer from the terrifying demon whale, but to the whale, a mere flip of its body could crush the magical ship.

Although the magical ship was equipped with protective formations, Qin Jun felt they might not withstand the demon whale.

"How high is this demon whale’s cultivation?" Qin Jun asked, curious.

Li Yuanba stroked his chin, hesitating before responding, "It should be around the eighth or ninth level of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm."

Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm!

Qin Jun smacked his lips secretly; in the entire Southernmost Sea, he had encountered only two Taiyi Realm powerhouses: one was the Green Fox King, and the other was the Black Dragon King. The Black Wind Demon King and the Blood Demon Monarch were not considered within the Southernmost Sea. He did not expect another Taiyi Realm colossal demon to pop up now, and moreover, it was gravely injured.

What did that mean?

It meant there were stronger beings lurking in the deep sea.

He even suspected that the Southernmost Sea was much stronger than it appeared on the surface.

"How old must such a giant beast be?" Liu Ruolai exclaimed with a face filled with wonder.

This demon whale clearly did not understand the way of transformation; judging by its size, its age must certainly be measured in tens of thousands of years.

Atop the lookout tower, Sun Wukong, who was lying there, also looked curiously at the demon whale, clicking his tongue in marvel, "This world is indeed more interesting than the previous one."

Zhu Bajie and other God and Demon beings referred to their original world as their past life, and he followed suit in doing so.

The Earth Immortal Realm of the Journey to the West world was a small world reorganized by the saints after the Investiture of the Gods. True powerhouses simply couldn’t enter the Earth Immortal Realm, and compared to this world, the Earth Immortal Realm was at most two or three domains in size. Naturally, he had never seen such a large demon whale.

"Save... me... save..."

Just then, a halting voice entered Qin Jun’s ears, causing him to frown. He instinctively looked at the people around him and saw that they too had puzzled looks on their faces, which meant that he wasn’t the only one who had heard it.

"This demon whale is asking for help!"

Zhu Bajie exclaimed in surprise, while Chang’e, Liu Ruolai, Li Yuanba, and Han Xin also turned their gazes back to the demon whale.

Qin Jun shook his head and softly said, "We are powerless to help. Ignore it!"

He indeed had no idea how to save the demon whale and suspected that the others felt the same. They were not healers, and besides, the demon whale appeared unharmed on the surface, with no visible injuries. It likely suffered severe internal damage, and Qin Jun saw no reason to purchase healing holy medicines for it in the mythology mall.

How much medicine would such a large whale need to consume to get better?

At that thought, Qin Jun felt as though he were looking into a bottomless pit.

The rest had no objections, and Liu Ruolai could only lament.

Qin Jun turned to go back inside. Since the demon whale posed no problem, he no longer bothered to worry about it, especially since Li Yuanba and Sun Wukong were present; the demon whale could not stir up any trouble.

At the same time, looking down from tens of thousands of meters in the sky, one could see a shadow appearing underneath the demon whale, growing larger and larger. The magical vessel, in the midst of the shadow, seemed as tiny as a sesame seed.

Sun Wukong suddenly frowned and sprang to his feet, followed by Li Yuanba, who also stood up while still continuing to drink with the soldiers.

Qin Jun had just pushed open the door.

Boom—

A deafening roar exploded in everyone’s ears. Then, before they had time to react, the feeling of weightlessness caused many soldiers to cry out in alarm.

From the outside, it was visible that a huge black whale emerged from the sea floor and swallowed both the demon whale that was floating on the sea surface and the magical vessel into its mouth.

Its gaping maw was so large, swallowing Mount Tai would have posed no problem!

The whale’s head alone, breaching the water surface, was ten thousand zhang high, equivalent to over thirty thousand meters, making it difficult to imagine the enormity of its entire body.

In the sunlight, the eye of the terrifying black whale slightly shifted. Its pupils were actually blood-red.

Its gaze was murky, yet it could still send a chill of terror through every being.

...

Time passed, indeterminate in length.

Qin Jun’s consciousness slowly cleared, and he heard Liu Ruolai’s excited voice, "You stinky fellow, you’re awake?"

He opened his eyes groggily, and his vision was filled with the faces of Liu Ruolai, Sun Wukong, Li Yuanba, and Zhu Bajie. He shook his head and then got up, instinctively looking around.

He found that they were on an island surrounded by pitch darkness. Soldiers used fire spells to illuminate their surroundings, and every face was etched with fear.

"What happened?" Qin Jun asked in a deep voice.

A pungent smell pervaded the air, striking their noses.

"We’ve been swallowed by a mysterious sea creature..." Zhu Bajie said helplessly, then pointed towards the darkness in the distance, "That demon whale too."

Qin Jun was stunned. If it were only them, it would be a different matter.

But even the mountain-like demon whale had also been swallowed. How immense must the sea creature that swallowed them be?

Qin Jun could hardly imagine, and he broke out in goosebumps.

He instinctively looked towards Sun Wukong and Li Yuanba and asked, "You can’t break out?"

These two fellows were both Daluo Realm powerhouses!

Li Yuanba’s face was full of embarrassment, while Sun Wukong grimly said, "I’ve just tried it, but it was no use. This creature’s body is too tough!"
