Abyss Summoner

How to leave this place?

This was the situation in front of Chen Feng. He could traverse the Abyss to return to the stronghold because he was originally within the Order.

But now, they were in an absolutely unfamiliar environment. One could only rely on themselves if they wanted to return, as space travel was impossible.

Ships?

There was no need to consider them. Although the ships along the shore were still usable, they lacked maintenance and scheduling personnel. Even if successfully launched, they would stop at sea or even sink to the bottom before long. Mastery comes with specialization; despite Chen Feng’s considerable strength, he wasn’t omnipotent.

Chen Feng somewhat missed the Bottom-dwelling Demon Fish. If it hadn’t died and was still here, it wouldn’t be too problematic for them to return.

"Bottom-dwelling Demon Fish?" Chen Feng muttered to himself, a thought emerging in his mind.

Since the ships couldn’t be used, the creatures beneath the sea could be. Those creatures had also mutated, and some giant fish were no weaker than a real battleship. If one could be tamed, their return speed would greatly increase.

"Wei Xun, you have the Soul of a Hundred Beasts that can suppress beasts. I wonder if it works on fish?" Chen Feng asked.

He was only a Summoner, not a Beast Tamer or ocean controller, so he couldn’t command the surrounding creatures. But in this team, Wei Xun had the ability to suppress a hundred beasts, though it was unclear if he could control fish.

Wei Xun pondered for a while and replied, "I’ve never tried it before, but it shouldn’t be a problem. My Soul of a Hundred Beasts has reached Mahayana, so using it to control the opponent isn’t difficult. However, the higher the level, the higher the failure rate. Silver Tier should pose no problem at all."

Silver Tier?

Chen Feng frowned. What could such a level of creatures do?

"Alright, leave this matter to me!" Chen Feng straightened up and cast his gaze onto the ocean.

He ordered Wei Xun and the others to remain on the shore while Chen Feng hovered above the coast, flapping his Demon Wings, searching for a suitable mount.

The turbulent seawater incessantly surged eastward.

Recently, heavy rains had substantially increased the surrounding water levels, causing the seawater to flow turbulently like a fierce Flood Dragon.

"Roaaar..."

A mighty Flood Dragon emerged, poking its head out from the river water!

Dragon?

If an ordinary person were here, they’d be too shocked to speak. This was indeed a legendary Flood Dragon, as told in mythological tales.

Dragons are generally benign, have whiskers and horns, and can soar into the skies.

Flood Dragons are usually malevolent, without whiskers and horns, unable to fly, can only "jump," but a single leap covers more than a mile.

Dragons have a pair of dragon horns, two pairs of claws, and a Dragon Pearl beneath their jaws.

Flood Dragons, being a type of dragon mutation, possess abilities not weaker than dragons, yet they are more violent and fierce. Flood Dragons have only one pair of claws and three dragon whiskers on their face, their mouth like a shattered gate, and a snake-like tail.

At this time, what appeared in front of Chen Feng was a giant creature with sharp horns.

A real Flood Dragon?

No!

This was merely a mutated giant serpent, with a body covered in white, soft skin, adorned with indistinct runes and patterns. It also had small, pearl-like hard tissues emerging, and atop its head were two pairs of forked horns. From a distance, it indeed resembled a majestic and mighty, sea-dividing Flood Dragon!

[Heaven-Reaching Python]

This mutated creature lacked Poison but possessed the ability to control Water Elements, able to unleash incredible attacks in water, and even control precipitation within a ten-meter radius. This ability made the Heaven-Reaching Python appear dragon-like, capable of calling wind and rain, truly marvelous to the extreme.

Of course, this was not yet its extremity. The Heaven-Reaching Python earned its name because it could grow indefinitely, doubling in size with each level ascended. Upon reaching the Legendary rank, apart from being unable to fly, it might be indistinguishable from a Giant Dragon.

As for higher tiers? Even void flying isn’t impossible.

The Heaven-Reaching Python was quite rare, even with numerous snakes; only one in a hundred thousand mutant serpents could evolve into a Heaven-Reaching Python, making Chen Feng’s encounter with one a stroke of luck.

"Roaaar..."

The Heaven-Reaching Python roared, thrashing about spiritedly in the ocean, its massive body, five meters thick and twenty meters long, exuding utmost majesty!

"You’re the one!"

A thundering shout suddenly boomed across the area, shaking the very earth!

The Heaven-Reaching Python was startled, raising its head to glare in the direction of the voice.

It was the lord of the water; when had it ever been so daunted by a mere shout? The dignity of a sovereign of the sea was not to be trifled with!

"Roaaar..."

The Heaven-Reaching Python roared loudly, seemingly preparing to counterattack, but at that electrical spark of a moment...

"No matter how loud you shout, it’s futile. I’ve searched around, and either they’re too weak to be of use, or too small to sit on; you possess Gold-level strength and aren’t lacking in size. Once you’re subdued, I’ll hand you over to Wei Xun for taming. Once we return to the Order, I’ll ensure you receive a great fortune!"

The previous thunderous shout rang out again, followed by a resolute figure descending from the sky. The figure had wings decorated with patterns unfolding behind them, with speed akin to lightning, appearing instantly before the Heaven-Reaching Python!

"Roaaar..."

The Heaven-Reaching Python roared angrily, caught off guard, only to helplessly witness its challenger standing before it. It refused to succumb, raising its neck to form a water ball in its mouth—compressed from Water Elements—to hurl at its foe, its impact no weaker than that of a solid iron ball.

"Boom!"

In a flash, the water ball punched through the sky, shooting toward Chen Feng!

Yet, in the face of this assault, the suddenly appearing man didn’t even frown, opening his arms as if intending to catch the attack barehanded!

In that swift moment, contact was made with the water ball, unveiling an astonishing scene. The man’s seemingly ordinary fist entirely halted the water ball. Not only this, but the airflow around him began to form a menacing Wind Blade vortex!

The vortex encased the Heaven-Reaching Python’s body with cutting precision, binding it like countless long ropes, rendering it motionless, lying rigidly on the sea’s surface.

The character who appeared was Chen Feng, and as he gazed at the Heaven-Reaching Python wailing on the sea, he met its eyes with determination and said, "Having the fortune to become my mount is indeed your blessing."

Should the Heaven-Reaching Python transform into a dragon in water, if possible, Chen Feng wished to nurture it and see if someday it could leap from the sea, evolving from a Water Dragon to a true dragon soaring through the skies!
