Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 685 - 142: King of Sea Beasts

Lightning Flying Fish are commonly seen Middle Level Sea Beasts in Fan Di Sea. Unlike the solitary Humpback Sharks, Lightning Flying Fish often move in schools.

Not only that, when facing formidable enemies, Lightning Flying Fish can also summon their companions for reinforcements.

Experienced local fishermen always say that provoking one Lightning Flying Fish is like provoking thousands of them. Although this statement is somewhat exaggerated, it also reflects the characteristics of this type of Sea Beast.

This is very similar to the giant-winged mosquitoes that Yue Jinghua contracted earlier, except that the giant-winged mosquitoes cannot operate underwater.

It was precisely from the Color Worm that Yue Jinghua learned about this feature of the Flying Fish, which is why she decided to form a contract with a school of them.

The group of Lightning Flying Fish she chose was one of the smaller schools among the many, with a number amounting to just over a hundred.

But compared to other groups of Flying Fish of mixed quality, this small school of Lightning Flying Fish was faster, and their scales shone more brightly. As they glided through the water, purple-black lightning would occasionally erupt from their bodies, marking them as the elite among schools of Flying Fish.

Each Flying Fish was only about the size of a palm, and they swam very quickly. Without the use of Dark Energy, Yue Jinghua could only barely keep up.

Since the school of Flying Fish didn’t have a strict King of Fish, Yue Jinghua was at a loss for a moment on how to proceed.

"Woman, can’t you be more clever? You are already a Silver Summoner, yet you don’t even know the basics of a group contract," Qing Pu’s stern voice suddenly interjected.

A group contract is a new Contract Technique understood upon advancing to a Silver Summoner, which can be used to contract a group of Dark Beasts.

The requirement for using a group contract is that the Dark Beasts in the group must have very similar strengths and are not intelligent beings.

The characteristics of the Lightning Flying Fish just so happened to fit this description.

Qing Pu quickly taught her the essentials of a group contract.

About a quarter of an hour later, Yue Jinghua drew a Summoning Star Light in the water with her fingertips.

After becoming a Silver Summoner, her speed in drawing the Summoning Star Light had become quicker. The murmuring currents of the ocean had no effect at all on her Summoning Array crafting.

Once she had completed drawing the group Summoning Star Light, Yue Jinghua merely stirred her Divine Sense slightly and the Star Light left her hand, silently following the school of Lightning Flying Fish like a cast fishing net.

The Star Light suddenly flashed, and the rapidly swimming Lightning Flying Fish became immobile as if an immobilization technique had been cast on them.

Perhaps in a dying struggle, after being shrouded by the Star Light, following a brief pause, the Lightning Flying Fish began to thrash about in agitation, trying to break free from the constraints of the Summoning Star Light.

Yue Jinghua remained unflustered. She drew her right hand in like she was pulling in a net, and the Nine Revolutions Creation Power surged out from within her.

The Star Light Array blazed brilliantly, and the overwhelming Summoning Power swallowed the consciousness of the Lightning Flying Fish, causing the Summoning Star Light to vanish.

After the successful summoning, Yue Jinghua’s mind naturally acquired the memories of the Lightning Flying Fish, which included information about this area of the Fan Di Sea.

Yue Jinghua quietly delighted, with just a slight stir in her Divine Sense, the elite group of Lightning Flying Fish obediently and respectfully swam up to her side as if commanded.

A few of the bolder ones curiously touched the gills on Yue Jinghua’s neck.

"The contract is successful, little guys. You should know the dwelling of the King of Sea Beasts in this area, right? Lead me to it, how about we pay it a visit?" Yue Jinghua attempted to issue a command.

The Lightning Flying Fish immediately swam towards a certain area of the deep sea.

Yue Jinghua looked up at the Sea and Air Ship that was still docked on the sea surface and sneered coldly, following the school of Flying Fish into the depths of the sea.

After diving about a thousand meters more, they had entered the deep sea area of Fan Di Sea, where there were hardly any sea beasts, let alone water plants.

Occasionally, a few Humpback Sharks swam past her, but they quickly swam away under the threat of the elite Lightning Flying Fish. Surrounded by the school of fish and with the Cheek Pearls for concealment, Yue Jinghua appeared to be a large mermaid.

Ahead, a white hillock emerged from the water. The hillock was barren, without a blade of grass on it.

After the hillock appeared, the Lightning Flying Fish, which had been charging recklessly as if entering a no-man’s land, immediately stopped in their tracks and started to swim around Yue Jinghua endlessly.

Yue Jinghua urged them several times, but the Flying Fish, as if constrained by some taboo, still refused to descend further.

It was at this moment that Yue Jinghua felt her eyelids twitch, sensing that the hillock just a few meters below stirred.

Upon closer inspection, Yue Jinghua realized that what was at the bottom of the water wasn’t a hillock at all, but a gigantic sea beast over eighteen meters in length and more than three meters wide.

It was indeed a colossal creature.

Because of this supercolossal creature, the deep sea area of Fan Di Sea had almost become a forbidden zone for sea beasts.

Yue Jinghua felt her heart skip a beat, and her breathing became cautious and careful.

She had come to understand that this huge creature lying in the deepest part of the sea, like a ghostly sunken ship, was the King of Sea Beasts in Fandi Port they were looking for on this journey with Long Jiuzun.

The snowy white long tail was two-fifths the length of the fish’s body, with a large head and wide mouth. Unique bone wings grew on its chest and back, and pale golden Holy Runes were distributed from its head to its tail, with the densest concentration of these Holy Runes around its mouth.

Unlike ordinary sea fish, this King of Sea Beasts dwelling at the bottom of the ocean had a long and flat fish beak, similar to a duck’s bill.

Despite its bizarre appearance, Yue Jinghua keenly sensed the oppressive aura emanating from the sea beast, which was distinctly uncomfortable, further confirming her previous guess that it was a High-level Dark Beast with Half-Saint cultivation.

Realizing that she was only a few meters away from the King of Sea Beasts, Yue Jinghua couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat.

She and Long Jiuzun had previously researched the sea beast resources of the Fan Di Sea, focusing their goal on creatures like the Lightning Flying Fish and Humpback Shark, but neither had anticipated the existence of such a massive creature in the deep sea.

The King of Sea Beasts seemed to be resting at the moment, showing little reaction to the new presence above its head.

This mighty King of Sea Beasts appeared extremely lethargic.

Nesting at the bottom of the sea, it could not care less about the empty ship of the Southern Expeditionary Army on the sea surface, let alone Yue Jinghua who was close at hand. Yue Jinghua wondered if it would starve to death just lying there like that.

"I wonder, if Long Jiuzun and this lazy fish collided, which one would be stronger," Yue Jinghua narrowed her eyes.

Since Long Jiuzun could not dive deep into the sea like her, were they meant to simply miss each other?

No, Yue Jinghua didn’t see it that way. She thought that since Long Jiuzun couldn’t go down, then the ’trouble’ of going up would fall to the lazy King of Sea Beasts.
