Chapter 399 - 389: A Warning
Ocean.
The general term for the vast water source on this land.
In times of peace, the ocean is a taboo for some people. It’s often said that people rely on mountains to eat from mountains, and rely on the sea to eat from the sea. But water and fire are ruthless, and when natural disasters occur, human life becomes insignificant.
Every year, countless people are buried in the ocean’s depths.
In peaceful times, it’s already like this; let alone in today’s apocalypse. The ocean contains more life forms than the land. It’s hard to imagine what a mutated whale, originally tens of meters long, would look like.
Luckily, they can only dominate in the ocean, and the ocean is vast, with an abundance of food making it difficult for mutated monsters to go hungry. But there are always exceptions. Most fish can’t come ashore, but some creatures that can occasionally include humans in their meals.
The existence of the White Dragon is almost certain.
Chen Feng now needs to act like an adventurer and go out to explore the world that has already changed.
Compared to a boat, Chen Feng has a better choice, which is the Bottom-dwelling Demon Fish. Don’t underestimate it just because it’s been under stress since the summoning, seemingly not very strong, but in the ocean, it’s undoubtedly one of the rulers.
Not only is it extremely fast, agile, and quick, but its strength is much greater compared to on land. The ocean is truly its main battleground.
Every now and then, the Bottom-dwelling Demon Fish flings its tentacles and knocks out passing big fish, then tosses them into its mouth for a feast.
And around it, a dozen Nagas swim. In sea battles, without the cooperation of ships, human warriors are mere weak baits, far from being as useful as the Nagas.
For this outing, Chen Feng didn’t bring many attendants. The Inferior Demon and Flora are busy invading and conquering in the Abyss, the main force already missing two, while the Undead Mage’s strength has skyrocketed and he’s launched a campaign on the Bone Plain. If successful, he’ll become a powerful faction on the Bone Plain, not just a small Skeleton.
Lich.
It’s supposed to win more undead loyalty and fear.
So, for this expedition, Chen Feng has only three summoned beasts available: aside from the Bottom-dwelling Demon Fish, there’s just the Dark Elf and the Shadow he recently summoned.
With the passage of time, Chen Feng is no longer very averse to the Shadow’s existence. Moreover, it feels as if it disappears, unless forcibly summoned. Otherwise, it hides in his shadow, silent, without eating or drinking, just like a Ghost.
No!
A Ghost wouldn’t have such patience. As an undead creature, it also needs food to strengthen its body, but the Shadow seems void, once entering his shadow, vanishing without a trace, completely merging.
Chen Feng still has some doubts about this, but hasn’t delved too deeply. With the existence of a contract, he’s not afraid of betrayal, and can only let things take their course.
...............
Chen Feng lies on the Bottom-dwelling Demon Fish, his head resting on a pair of smooth, delicate long legs. Unlike Flora’s white, this pair is darker in color but glossier, lying on his neck, like resting on a piece of the finest jade, making one reluctant to get up.
The Dark Elf skillfully peels a grape with her hands, then gently places it on Chen Feng’s lips, which he lightly accepts, holding it in his mouth.
While others fight for a bite to eat, Chen Feng lies on the giant beast, enjoying the service of a beauty.
Is power good?
It’s at this moment that Chen Feng understands why people strive to climb up.
Because what the strong enjoy may truly limit some people’s imagination.
The Dark Elf seems to enjoy this state of service very much; it’s been a long time since she had an intimate moment with her master.
Not to mention the Inferior Demon, that sticky follower constantly at the master’s side, even Flora, somehow managed to get closer, ending up on the master’s bed.
Although Flora tries hard to conceal it, who is the Dark Elf? Compared to the timid and conservative camps of the Cat Race, the Dark Elf race is known for indulgence and taboo.
Within the Dark Elf circle, there’s always a saying that males are enslaved beasts, once the lower half is occupied, their intelligence is no better than a worm.
Being a matriarchal society tribe, everything they encounter and the knowledge they grasp is far beyond Flora’s reach. If one must describe it, the difference is like between a workplace rookie and a boss.
No matter how much Flora hides, she cannot escape the eyes of the Dark Elf.
The Dark Elf is not ashamed of the past; she is who she is, an independent and stubborn Dark Elf, internally free from anyone’s constraints.
In the tribe, in order to seize power, murder and betrayal occur frequently, especially when it is implicitly permitted by Rose. As an evil Divine Spirit, she believes that rulers growing out of such betrays would be the most outstanding leaders.
Those who succeed will become the sovereign kings of the clan, while those who fail will die with regret.
It’s like nurturing a Gu.
Put in five poisonous insects, and the one that survives will be the most venomous creature.
Rose, however, just replaces these poisonous insects with her subordinates or offspring. Yes, in Rose’s eyes, offspring are also cheap sacrifice to be used and abandoned at any time.
For this evil Divine Spirit, nothing is more important than the development of the tribe, and perhaps this is why the Dark Elves can dominate the Abyss for a long time, even occupying a whole layer.
The Dark Elf peeled another grape and gently placed it at Chen Feng’s lips, but this time, Chen Feng shook his head. Seeing this, the Dark Elf raised her hand and put it into her own mouth.
She parted her lips slightly, gently placing it on her lip, from close up, the grape juice was visibly about to drip, but the Dark Elf curled her fragrant tongue to keep it from dripping on Chen Feng.
It was pretentious, yet alluring. Undeniably, compared to Flora’s shyness, the Dark Elf’s boldness and proactivity were equally irresistible temptations.
Chen Feng leaned forward trying to find a comfortable position, and then said, "Flora has already advanced to the Golden Tier."
The Dark Elf, still pretending to be fawning, suddenly stiffened, and even a hint of disbelief flashed in her eyes.
Inferior Demon looked strange, originally just a foul-smelling sludge, and even after being promoted to Lich, Undead Mage was still skin and bones. Among the original four Summoned Beasts, only the Dark Elf and Flora seemed normal.
In the past, the Dark Elf viewed her stubbornly, and Flora was angry at her promiscuity. The two were simply incompatible, and the Dark Elf always regarded her as a rival, competing with her in every aspect.
But now, not only did the master not win, but even her rank was inferior. How could the Dark Elf remain calm?
"Master..." The Dark Elf hesitated to speak.
"No need to doubt, I can clearly feel it, just now Flora broke through the limitation and stepped into the Golden Tier." Chen Feng remained expressionless, but his words dispelled the Dark Elf’s doubts completely.
"That little kitty has actually stepped ahead of me?"
Chen Feng lay on the Dark Elf’s lap, not at all excited about Flora’s advancement. He just muttered to himself, "The invasion of the Undead Mage is almost complete, and Flora’s advancement has surely completed the original plan. The potential of Inferior Demon goes without saying, you’re well aware of it, but you, you show no sign of progress. Tell me, what should I do?"
His voice was unbelievably calm, but the Dark Elf’s face suddenly turned ashen.
It was as if Chen Feng was oblivious to the Dark Elf’s change, then continued, "I hope the Mourner’s incident will not happen again, you followed me early on, you should know what becomes of those who can’t keep up."
At this point, the Dark Elf’s face expression, and even her body, began to tremble slightly.
"You say your clansmen always watch you collect resources for me, then find a chance to deal with them. Being a Priest is not the ultimate destination; I believe you can go further."
At this point, the Dark Elf realized that her master had some grievances against her. As a branch of the elves, the Dark Elf’s camp also has some life-spring water whose efficacy is great, not only for ordinary people but even some professionals can stabilize injuries with just a sip, it’s almost more effective than a century-old ginseng.
However, the period of collecting attracted the others’ attention.
In the tribe, although the Dark Elf is a Priest, it’s not as if she has no opponents; she also faces two competitors, which are the venomous creatures laid by Rose for herself.
The two found some clues, sending people to guard the life-spring water, resulting in the Dark Elf having no opportunity to act.
"Looks like it’s time to make a decision!" The Dark Elf’s eyes slowly turned scarlet, apart from the pressure from Chen Feng, she also understood the principle of striking first, and after clearing up the matter of dragon slaying, she would go organize manpower to seize control of the camp.
The Dark Elf had an idea and was about to discuss it with Chen Feng when the Bottom-dwelling Demon Fish suddenly stopped moving, and its mouth emitted some indistinct sound.
Chen Feng gradually relaxed his brows and then got up, looking into the distance.
What did he see?
Traveling for a day.
Right before them, a gigantic island suddenly appeared, scattered with traces of human habitation, steel, cars, and some modern buildings.
It’s not just an island, but a city... submerged by the sea!
