Cursed Immortality-Chapter 645 Encountering the Ocean Races
Chapter 645 Encountering the Ocean Races
Jacob was startled when he saw those novel creatures riding on a whale-like ocean beast were coming in his way. This was his first witnessing this scene, and even from here, he could tell that the ocean beast was at the peak of its unique rank.
'Don't tell me they are from the ocean races?' He speculated.
Autarch had already told me about ocean races because Masha also belonged to an ocean race, but she was a runaway because she was experimenting on her own race members.
Furthermore, the ocean races were very mysterious, and most of the natives of the Unique Plains were unaware of their existence because they rarely left the ocean and came to the surface.
Jacob has no idea that he had unknowingly trespassed into the territory of ocean races while fleeing from the swarm of Ice Fiend Locusts.
He still hadn't unsummoned Immoritka because he was afraid those persistent insects would still come after him and because he might run into such a situation. After all, when it came to sniffing out enemies or hidden dangers, Immoritka had never disappointed him.
"You know what I want to know, right?" He questioned gravely.
He was still calm because those newcomers were at the same rank as him, and since they could move freely under this heavy gravity, he now wanted to know more about them.
Furthermore, even if he tries to flee, he won't be able to outrun them before his mana gives up on him. Lastly, he has no plan of going back to the surface because of the Queen Ice Fiend Locust.
"Hehehe, those small fries are not worth mentioning, aren't they?" Immoritka?cackled before finally getting to the point, "The three fish-face humanoids are Orange Sturgeons of Unique Tier-9 Rank, a very common ocean race with no unique, innate abilities except for their ability to?use sound waves to attack the minds of their prey.
"But that Unique Tier-9 ocean magic beast they are riding is quite rare. It is a Water Lightning Whale that can move within water like lightning under any pressure!"
Jacob nodded slightly, as this information was enough. Now, he was coldly looking at the Water Lightning Whale as it approached him, while those three Orange Sturgeon, who had orange-scale skin and the head of a sturgeon, were already viciously opening their sharp mouths at him with killing intent.
They were clearly not here with kind intentions, and Jacob wanted to know how they found him or if it was just a coincidence. But when they were about a hundred meters away from him, he saw those three Orange Sturgeon's faces suddenly light up, and his expression darkened when he saw the magic energy gathering around their mouth.
They were about to attack him without any intention of interrogating him. A ruthless glint flashed past his eyes, and since he was more than half recovered, he stopped playing dead.
"Slumber Hex!" Jacob directly targeted the Water Lightning Whale since those guys were using it to mount an attack.
Although he wasn't sure if they were moving so fast in this gravity because of the Water Lightning Whale, they would be fishes on a chopping board if they were relying on it.
Just as he predicted, the moment the Water Lightning Whale was cursed, those sturgeons suddenly lost their balance, and with the Water Lightning Whale, they began to sink like a stone in water.
The Orange Sturgeons were baffled by this sudden turn of events. One of them even tried to kick the Water Lightning Whale to awaken it but gained no reaction. One of them cried furiously, using strange gibberish, and the other two nodded before they finally jumped off the whale body and directly bolted towards Jacob, leaving behind powerful wave shockwaves.
Although their speed was not as fast as that of the Water Lightning Whale, they were still moving very agilely. But what they hadn't thought was that Jacob could also move like them within the water.
The three Orange Sturgeons quickly surrounded Jacob in a triangular formation, and they again began to cast their spells as the surrounding water began to churn. But how could Jacob give them any chance?
At this moment, using the water spirit escape, he turned into a blue streak and darted towards one of the Orange Sturgeons. Those guys were again shocked. Jacob's target tried to dodge him, but Jacob's speed was almost at the same level as the Water Lightning Whale when he used the water spirit escape.
The Orange Sturgeon had just started flapping its fins like feet when Jacob abruptly appeared in front of him like a ghost. The next moment, a dark streak flashed past the Orange Sturgeon's neck.
Jacob again turned into a blue streak and bolted in the other Orange Sturgeon's direction. The Orange Sturgeons were shocked, and by the time they realized what had happened, they saw their companion's head start to separate from his neck as crimson blood tainted the clear water.
Jacob didn't give them any chance, and like a phantom, he approached the second Orange Sturgeon, who was now horrified and started to flee desperately. But he was still too slow, and Jacob directly grabbed his slippery leg and cut him in half, as they were only about half his size.
The last one was already running deeper into the ocean, but Jacob had no plan of killing him, he locked on him, and his eyes flashed with crimson lightning, "Slumber Hex!"
The last Orange Sturgeon turned motionless the next moment, and Jacob went after him directly, grabbing his body before stowing him away in his pendant alive. He then finally looked towards the Water Lightning Whale and dived towards it.
The whale was around twenty-five meters in size, but Jacob had enough space for it as well. Now that he knew this whale could swim opposite to gravity, he had a different plan for it.
He also didn't leave behind any corpses since he wasn't sure what kind of power the ocean races held. He had heard that they were very protective of their own, so he didn't want to reveal his existence or provoke some three steps of legend.
Afterward, he fully focused on recovering while using stealth, and after around half an hour of descending, he was finally able to see the ocean floor.
But what surprised him was not too far away from his location, there were huge glowing buildings with strange shapes that he had never seen before, and he saw many Orange Sturgeons swimming around those buildings and even other ocean races that he had never seen before.
It was an underwater city that belonged to the elusive Ocean Races!
