When disaster struck, I became a big shot surviving in the ocean.
Chapter 118: The Eruption of Dead Water

Chapter 118: Chapter 118: The Eruption of Dead Water

At A Zhiqiu’s action, Chen Qing immediately detonated the Mechanical Spider Bomb, and tens of thousands of bombs exploded simultaneously.

Chen Qing frowned slightly—A Zhiqiu had made a move.

Amid the overwhelming sound of explosions, tentacles sprang out from beneath A Zhiqiu, tightly securing Chen Qing in place, her face displaying a hint of maniacal laughter.

Even in death, she intended to drag Chen Qing down with her.

No matter how strong Chen Qing’s protective shield was, it always had a limit.

Besides, she might not necessarily die, but Chen Qing definitely would!

Series of explosions followed one after another, shattering the sandy seabed and black water burst forth from the cracks in the deep sea, swiftly submerging both Chen Qing and A Zhiqiu.

A Zhiqiu’s pupils sharply constricted—the black water emerging from the fissures was all too familiar to her.

Dead Water.

The presence of Dead Water in this sea area had completely surprised both Chen Qing and A Zhiqiu.

The other creatures currently in the deep sea hadn’t fully anticipated the existence of Dead Water here either.

Dead Water is a very special type of black water source found in the Deep Sea Pool, where no life can survive.

Up to now, the known Dead Water areas only exist in some parts of the Mysterious Zone and the Sea Beast Zone.

Unexpectedly, the Gem Sea also had it!

And it had been so easily burst open by Chen Qing’s Grade C bomb!

In reality, this was quite a flattering way to put it for Chen Qing.

The true reason for the complete fracture of the deep sea’s sandy ground, leading to the eruption of Dead Water, was this time’s power-enhanced tenfold Gemstone Hurricane.

Its terrifying power rendered the deep sea’s sandy ground exceedingly brittle, allowing Chen Qing’s Mechanical Spider Bombs to break it open.

Watching the surging Dead Water, A Zhiqiu suddenly felt an intense fear!

She instantly discarded all her previous plans, for as a member of the Cross Star, A Zhiqiu definitely had some life-saving tricks up her sleeve.

But these tricks and powerful attacks were only useful against Chen Qing, not against Dead Water...

At this moment, A Zhiqiu’s mind was completely filled with fear, a fear that stemmed from her ancestral genes and was deeply etched into her soul.

From the moment each member of the Sea Clan was capable of understanding, they were taught about Dead Water by their community.

Even the Sea Clan would drown in Dead Water!

A Zhiqiu didn’t want to recall that sensation of drowning, even though they were the favored children of the sea!

Yet Dead Water could still easily snatch their lives away!

Even though humans might still have the strength to escape from Dead Water, the Sea Clan could only wait for death.

Once they came into contact with Dead Water, they would lose all their strength and be left to drown!

The original intent of A Zhiqiu, who had wanted to kill Chen Qing, was replaced by only one thought when she discovered the Dead Water.

Escape!

She panicked, turning to flee!

However, A Zhiqiu had forgotten one thing.

In her previous attempt to drag Chen Qing with her, she had bound both herself and Chen Qing together; now escaping wouldn’t be so easy.

"Are you insane!!"

As A Zhiqiu tried to flee before the Dead Water could fully unleash itself on her, she suddenly realized her tentacles were firmly grasped by Chen Qing!

Just as tightly as she had bound Chen Qing earlier, now Chen Qing was forcefully gripping her tentacles!

Chen Qing just stood there quietly, motionless, seemingly completely oblivious to the terror of the Dead Water.

"Do you even know what that is—"

"Dead Water, I know."

Chen Qing’s voice lacked any fluctuation, as if the Dead Water was no different from ordinary water.

"If you know then—"

A Zhiqiu suddenly fell silent, Chen Qing was planning to drag her to death with her!

Her expression suddenly turned ruthless. A Zhiqiu knew that if she didn’t kill Chen Qing, she wouldn’t be able to leave this place!

But the Dead Water was already close at hand...

A Zhiqiu’s tentacle suddenly wrapped around Chen Qing’s arm, her mouthparts wide open, and the sharp vortex teeth brutally gnawed at the flesh on Chen Qing’s arm.

In an instant, Chen Qing’s arm became bloody, but she still didn’t even frown.

A Zhiqiu’s sea beast had already run away, and the Muscle Turtle was being carried away by the Mini Rabbits. As creatures, they sensed the terror of the Dead Water more acutely than A Zhiqiu and Chen Qing.

The eerily lifeless Dead Water, seemingly non-aggressive, actually contained an endless and terrifying energy that dragged them into a death where there was no burial and no peace.

There’s a saying in Dragon Country that fits Dead Water perfectly, a biting dog does not bark.

Dead Water doesn’t show any aggressiveness, but by the time you realize it, it’s too late, and there’s no escape.

"If we keep dragging this out, you’ll die too!"

While trying to soften her voice with advice, A Zhiqiu’s mouthparts became even more fierce, and the bare bones had begun to show on Chen Qing’s arm.

Seeing that the Dead Water was about to spread to her side, Chen Qing still didn’t let go of her posture...

Filled with determination, A Zhiqiu suddenly grabbed a sharp Fish Bone Blade from her space, bit her lip, closed her eyes, and ruthlessly chopped at the tentacle below her!

"Ah—!!!"

A piercing scream burst from A Zhiqiu’s mouth as she trembled uncontrollably, her whole body convulsing and shivering.

It was too painful, really too painful.

A Zhiqiu had never felt such pain in her life, as blood tinged with blue and red spurted out from beneath her.

The pain of losing a limb, all of this was brought upon her by Chen Qing!

However, A Zhiqiu couldn’t care about that now. She needed to escape, she needed to live!!

But A Zhiqiu forgot one thing: how was she to flee from the Dead Water without her tentacles?

Her sea beast had abandoned her, and she could only weakly flutter her hands, watching helplessly as the Dead Water spread over her body, sapping her strength.

Suddenly, a dark shadow enveloped A Zhiqiu, she opened her mouth wanting to cry for help, but she couldn’t make a sound.

Looking into Chen Qing’s emotionless eyes, A Zhiqiu suddenly realized that today might be her day of death.

The suffocating agony turned A Zhiqiu’s face purplish-blue as Chen Qing reached out and touched the Dead Water.

A strange feeling, as if the part that touched the Dead Water simply vanished, as strength continuously eroded away. Chen Qing generated no thoughts of escaping from the Dead Water, allowing it to corrode her body continuously.

No wonder the Sea Clan and other creatures feared Dead Water so much.

Chen Qing lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

The erosion by the Dead Water wasn’t fast, but it was starting to completely envelop Chen Qing already.

Seeing this scene, A Zhiqiu, not yet completely unconscious, wanted to curl her lips, but she no longer had the strength for any movement, not even blinking.

All she could do was think triumphantly to herself that at least there’s another Chen Qing who will die with her; she didn’t completely lose.

However, she was destined to be disappointed.
