Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 757 Terrifying Sea Beast

As the vortex appeared, a roar of anger emerged from the eyes of Jiji on Ye Qing's shoulder. At that moment, his furious roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

As the sound echoed, the whirlpool below instantly dissipated, and the dark figure quickly sank beneath the surface of the sea.

Ye Qing glanced at the somewhat tired Jiji, gritted his teeth, and flew on his sword for a while. He then saw a lush island in front of him, quickly approached it, and landed on top of the island.

Not long after landing, Ye Qing saw the sea surface in the distance churn again.

Yuexi frowned and said, "This is probably a big problem. This sea beast is definitely quite strong. There's a high probability that it's at the Immortal level or even stronger. Its chirping roars deter most other beasts from acting rashly. However, although this sea beast is wary, it hasn't been scared away. Instead, it keeps following us, as if waiting for an opportunity!"

"Why are they targeting us?" Ye Qing asked.

“The cores of awakened demonic beasts contain energy that can be used for cultivation, weapon forging, pill refining, and so on. As for these beasts, awakened humans, especially those above the Star Lord level, are also a great source of nourishment. The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is the law of survival among these beasts,” Yuexi said.

Ye Qing thought of those demonic creatures that could transform into humans, and his expression shifted as he asked, "Speaking of which, are there any strange beasts in this universe that can transform into humans?"

"Beasts that can turn into humans? Of course they exist!" Yuexi said, "But that's a much more advanced civilization, one we can't access right now. Once a beast reaches a transcendent level, it develops a certain level of intelligence; the stronger it is, the higher its intelligence. And in this universe, there are countless races, numbering well over ten thousand. It's said that in some star systems, we humans are merely striving!"

Ye Qing remained silent. Indeed, anything is possible in this universe.

"We've gone off on a tangent!" Yuexi said. "Let's go deeper into this island first, and then see if we can get rid of this thing and start from another direction!"

Ye Qing nodded and said, "Okay!"

The two entered the forest behind the island. The island was not very big, but there were many trees that could be used as cover. After entering, they concealed their presence and found some fruit in the forest. After confirming that the fruit was not poisonous, they used it as food.

The fruit contains a very rich amount of energy.

In fact, Ye Qing only cultivated at night during this period, but even so, he felt that the true energy in his body had increased quite a bit, including his special power!

The energy within this Four Spirits Secret Realm is incredibly concentrated; even with arduous cultivation, the improvement is quite remarkable!

The night passed quietly. Ye Qing looked at Yue Xi and asked, "You haven't broken through to the extraordinary realm yet?"

"From Star Lord to Transcendent is a transformation in the level of life. Once you reach Transcendent, your lifespan will be greatly increased," Yuexi said. "And after Transcendent, every breakthrough is extremely difficult! It's not as simple as you think. Reaching the Transcendent realm allows you to lead a civilization out of the lower three levels!"

"Then how can you break through?" Ye Qing asked.

"I don't know either! Let's see what happens!" Yuexi said. "Let's rest first. When you fly tomorrow, try to fly as high as possible. Those sea monsters are just creatures of the sea. If we are high enough, we might be able to get rid of them."

The two spent the night in the wilderness, and early the next morning, they crossed the jungle and arrived at the other side. Ye Qing then took off on his sword again and headed in the direction indicated by Jiji.

To avoid being attacked by the sea monster below, Ye Qing increased his distance as much as possible.

However, to Ye Qing's dismay, the sea beast seemed to be able to lock onto them, closely following them on the surface of the sea beneath their feet!

However, it didn't attack; it just kept following.

Every time it's about to attack, Chirp will let out a roar to intimidate the attacker.

However, as time went by, Ye Qing discovered that the time it took for Jiji to intimidate it was getting shorter and shorter, because it was catching up faster and faster.

"Two thousand meters seems to be the limit. The higher we fly, the more strange energy seems to be affecting me." Ye Qing looked at the black shadow following below and said, "Just how big is this thing? We can still see it from this height!"

"Hopefully, we can get out of this space before it fully realizes that Jiji isn't strong!" Yuexi said.

They had no ability to resist such terrifying beasts.

Two or three more days passed, and on this day, Ye Qing and his group were still flying over the sea.

"Ye Qing, look ahead!" Just then, Yue Xi suddenly pointed excitedly ahead.

At this moment, Ye Qing was two thousand meters above the ground. He could see a huge island in the distance. As he got closer, the island looked like a giant tortoise.

"Chirp!" Chirp excitedly tugged at Ye Qing's clothes, pointing repeatedly at the top of the island, as if telling Ye Qing and the others that the place it wanted to go was finally within reach.

"Watch out below!" Just then, an extremely terrifying tearing force suddenly came from below!

"Roar!"

Chirp let out a huge roar at the sea below.

However, this time, its roar seemed to have no deterrent effect.

The enormous creature below seemed determined to make its move. It had been following Ye Qing and his group for over half a month, as if it felt that once Ye Qing and his group reached the island ahead, it would have no chance to attack.

Below, a huge vortex was spinning continuously, and the suction force was emerging from this vortex!

Ye Qing tried his best to use his mental power to resist, but he couldn't control his body at all!

As the vortex appeared, a tornado suddenly arose around them.

It kept pulling Ye Qing and the other person downwards with a whooshing sound.
