Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 989 - 107: Deep Sea Adventure (Part 3)

The Nanbei Sea Trench is indeed very deep. She had only used two hours to reach this area, plus the time she spent earlier diving ten thousand meters deep, she had already used another two hours. The time left for Yue Jinghua was very limited indeed.

After searching again in the sunken ship area, Yue Jinghua confirmed that there were still no beneficial clues nearby regarding the search for the Dongnan Emperor Shell. She decided not to waste more time on this meaningless shipwreck investigation.

She made a mark near the sunken ship area.

This ruined ship area is not entirely without value. When there is an opportunity in the future, after restoring the seawater of East Lin Sea, she would suggest Jue Xin command people to salvage the shipwrecks in this area.

Most of the cargo on these merchant ships are intact. After salvaging them, they would be invaluable and could contribute to the construction of East Lin Sea.

Yue Jinghua’s mind stirred, and the Ghost Mother, which was integrated with her, went forward and swam to a deeper sea area.

"!" Yue Jinghua’s alertness was very high. Just after swimming a few steps, she felt a different sort of fluctuation behind her, as if someone was watching her.

This feeling was like being tailed by someone.

She quickly turned back, but behind her, apart from the dark, countless ship ruins, there was no other living creature.

Yue Jinghua turned around, shook off that strange feeling, and continued forward.

As she swam, in the seaweed area strewn with numerous shipwrecks, a shadow slipped out from the densely growing seaweed.

The shadow seemed like an ordinary seaweed, yet it appeared not to be seaweed.

It stuck to the trench floor silently, quietly following Yue Jinghua, heading toward the deepest part of East Sea Trench.

Yue Jinghua swam to the deepest part of East Sea Trench. After searching for a while, like Jue Xin, she keenly captured an unusual glow appearing in the ominous seawater.

Yue Jinghua recognized that kind of glow. When she had worn the Emperor’s Ring earlier, it often emitted the same luster.

A black shell, silent as a stone, lay at the seabed.

It was so inconspicuous that Yue Jinghua almost floated past it. If it weren’t for the timely warmth from the Nan Emperor’s Ring in her arms, Yue Jinghua would have overlooked the overly reserved Dongnan Emperor Mother Shell.

"It’s it," Yue Jinghua steadied herself, fearing she might startle the Mother Shell, she approached the Mother Shell.

At this time, the nearby seawater seemed to shake violently. This shaking sensation was coming from the opposite direction of the trench. Yue Jinghua raised an eyebrow, this feeling?

It seems Jue Xin had succeeded.

The upheaval of seawater also seemed to have some influence on the Nan Emperor Mother Shell beneath, causing it to shiver slightly, and the clam began to slowly open.

So lucky, it was effortless, Yue Jinghua couldn’t help but rejoice. She took out the Emperor Nan Pearl, waiting for the Mother Shell to open up, ready to return the Emperor Nan Pearl to its rightful owner.

Just as Yue Jinghua held her breath in anticipation for that moment, there was a peculiar current fluctuation behind her.

At present, Yue Jinghua’s six senses were very keen.

She didn’t need to turn her head to know that there was something behind her intending to sneak attack.

Instinctively sensing danger, Yue Jinghua was poised to use the Small Cloud Trace Steps to evade.

However, she had forgotten she wasn’t on land at the moment; beneath her feet was soft and yielding sea mud.

Her foot was already stuck in the mud, unable to pull out for a moment.

In a moment of urgency, Yue Jinghua promptly bent down, skillfully dodging an attack.

She saw the object of sneak attack behind, "bang," it hit the sea mud.

A big pit was formed immediately.

The reef hit by the unidentified object crumbled like tofu.

Even though Yue Jinghua had luckily avoided it, she felt the unidentified creature’s attack was exceptionally fierce, causing her body and blood to swirl in turmoil.

Taking advantage of this gap, she clearly saw the object that was attacking her.

At a glance, Yue Jinghua recognized the thing; it was earlier the type of kelp-like seaweed she saw in the shipwreck area.

Though its shape was like seaweed, it evidently wasn’t ordinary marine flora.

It seemed to possess intelligence, as it immediately retreated after failing to attack Yue Jinghua, waiting for the next chance to strike.

It had no limbs but had eyes, a gigantic unidentified sea beast that had dragged those passing merchant ships into such deep waters.

That unidentified creature had a pair of ghastly blue eyes, currently contemplating the strength of the underwater intruder before it and greedily eyeing the Emperor Nan Pearl in Yue Jinghua’s hand.

If it weren’t for Yue Jinghua having practiced the Nine Revolutions Moon Creation Technique, her spiritual perception exceeding ordinary people, she would have been struck and chilled early on.

"Whizz--" The unidentified creature attacked again.

But this time, within moments, it had divided into several parts.

Just like an octopus severing its tentacles, it split into several segments.

Each segment rapidly grew in the seawater, forming an encirclement and swimming towards Yue Jinghua.

In the depths, the unidentified creature seemed to defy the pressure at ten thousand meters depth, swimming silently and swiftly, like lightning in water.

In just one swift movement, it reached Yue Jinghua’s front.

Yue Jinghua was alone; how could she fend off attacks from all directions.

In desperation, she swung the Lianyun Great Sword.

But under the pressure of the water, the sword’s full might like it has on land could not be exerted in a Cloud Stacking Sword, and using Dark Skill under water, the Dark Power consumed was several times that on the surface.

Even worse, the black unidentified object’s ability to split seemed endless.

The mother body split into two, then the offspring split into four, growing rapidly in speed and number.

In no time, the area was filled with these kelp-like unidentified marine life, a dense mass encircling Yue Jinghua and the Emperor Nan Shell behind her.

Yue Jinghua sensed the Dark Pill’s Dark Power gradually diminishing. The excessive consumption of Dark Power caused the Ghost Mother Dark Pill, which she relied on to resist the pressure at ten thousand meters depth, to rapidly deplete.

The Ghost Mother Protection Wall, which originally protected her, seemed to be dimming increasingly.

She could feel her internal organs and skin starting to feel the pressure of the ten thousand meter water pressure. If the Ghost Mother Dark Pill within her were to fully deplete, she wouldn’t even need to wait for the unidentified ocean creature to attack, she would be crushed by the pressure.

What kind of ghostly thing is this, Yue Jinghua cursed.

What material was the unidentified creature made of that, no matter how she used the Lianyun Great Sword to hack, it couldn’t be severed.

At this moment, her Great Sword twisted forcefully, getting the sword embedded firmly.

Yue Jinghua slipped on the foot, inadvertently rolling into the Nan Emperor Mother Shell beside her.
