Chapter 373: Probing Step by Step
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ever since the satellite captured the scene in the middle of the Antarctic that day, showing a giant in black helmet riding a warhorse, a huge beast made of bones, and the huge eye that had once occupied Mount Everest.
After confirming that the information was accurate, the Daxia Kingdom held a video conference with the heads of all the countries in the world.
Before the black tide truly descended, the blue planet was already being watched by many terrifying creatures from the otherworld. It would be a lie to say that they were not panicking.
This was the truth. During the global video conference, some of the countries’ satellites happened to capture the scenes of the terrifying creatures that had walked out of space-travel passages from all over the world.
Although these terrifying creatures that came out one after another were not as powerful as the two creatures in the Antarctic Continent, they were existences that countries other than the Daxia Kingdom could not deal with.
Faced with the rapidly changing situation, the conclusion from the global video conference was to speed up the space plan. At the same time, after the meeting ended, the big shots from the various countries hurriedly set off for the Daxia Kingdom.
In the future, when the space plan was completed, the Daxia Kingdom would be the central command center for the transportation of personnel and supplies from the other countries.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. The entire world had fallen into a strange atmosphere.
Near East Lake City, Chen Yiming stood at the top of a mountain with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the sea to the east.
“The terrifying creatures that walked out of the space-travel passage one after another did not start a conflict with the humans. Instead, they hid themselves. Could it be that they are worried about the mysterious tentacles in the oceanic trench?”
Back then, the huge eye had threatened him with the war weapon from the black tide hidden in the oceanic trench. From the looks of it, its credibility had increased to 90%. For the remaining 10%, Chen Yiming guessed that it might not be as simple as a war weapon.
“The purpose of the black tide invading the world is to harvest the negative emotions, and humans, as the most intelligent creatures on the blue planet, are undoubtedly the targets to be cornered and harvested.”
Chen Yiming’s expression was solemn. From the actions of the terrifying creatures that had escaped, this was bad news for the human civilization.
The black tide would definitely not allow too many humans to escape from the blockade, or even if they did, they would still be pursued endlessly.
To chase after the spaceship with the humans was something that could definitely be achieved by the black tide that could sweep through the universe. There was no need to hold on to a false hope.
At this thought, Chen Yiming’s palms were drenched in sweat.
What he lacked the most was time.
Now that the humans were being forced into a corner, no one could predict how long these terrifying creatures could hold themselves back.
Just as Chen Yiming was deep in thought, the clouds in the sky suddenly looked like they were burning up in flames. A terrifying and oppressive aura spread out, coming from the sea to the east.
“Has it started to test the waters?”
The incident happened right between the Daxia Kingdom and the oceanic trench.
Chen Yiming summoned the spiritual figure from the otherworld and quickly set off to prevent Jiangnan province from being affected.
…
In the sea more than 100 kilometers away from the coast,
Chen Yiming stood on the surface of the sea and felt the waves of heat rolling over. He could vaguely make out a flaming firebird flying through the clouds.
At some point, a silver light shot out from the bottom of the sea and attacked the figure on the surface of the water.
“Bang!”
The silver light broke through the surface of the water, and its speed was so fast that it was as if it had teleported. The figure on the surface of the sea had its attention focused on the firebird and was immediately hit. Sharp spikes erupted from its body, creating countless holes in the figure.
At the same time, a terrifying collision caused a huge wave to explode in a radius of dozens of kilometers. The huge wave soared into the sky and crashed down heavily, leaving behind a terrifying hole in the seawater.
“The strongest human?”
A terrifying giant snake appeared on the surface of the sea. Its entire body was covered in red and green scales, and its huge mouth was filled with metallic fangs.
As it stood up, one could see that every scale was engraved with unknown mysterious symbols that emitted black ripples.
“As expected, this cultivation desert is not good enough. Compared to those of us who have grown up in the environment of the dark forest world, those of the same level here are instantly defeated.”
As soon as it finished speaking, an illusion appeared on the surface of the sea.
Then, a humanoid figure appeared. It had three eyes on its face, and its silver hair was flowing freely. On its lower body, there were a large number of strips that looked like blue seaweed.
“I wanted to beat the strongest human being half to death first to test the progress of the production of war weapons, but you destroyed him in an instant,” the terrifying snake said.
“Too weak! That person couldn’t react effectively to my sneak attack at all.” The three-eyed sea demon shook its head.
The silver light was shot out from the sea demon’s three eyes. When it exploded, every spike delivered a powerful and lethal attack, and was formed by the mysterious symbols that controlled the power of nature.
Even in the dark forest world, very few creatures of the same level dared to provoke such an attack. Once it successfully landed on their bodies, most of them would lose their lives instantly.
“The development of the war weapon?”
A spiritual fluctuation suddenly appeared from behind the giant snake and the sea demon, reflecting an unknown language.
“You…”
The three-eyed sea demon was shocked. Its body suddenly turned around, and a silver sword extended from each of its hands. With a flash, it closed the distance between them.
The terrifying snake followed closely behind. It turned around and opened its terrifying mouth, spitting out black ripples at Chen Yiming.
“Bang!”
Chen Yiming raised his hand, and his forearm blocked the incoming silver sword. A wave that soared into the sky exploded behind him, but there wasn’t even a trace of blood on his forearm.
Immediately after, the black ripples hit Chen Yiming head-on, and a human-shaped hole appeared in the middle. The sea behind him could be seen to have turned into a black water domain dozens of kilometers wide.
The three eyes on the sea demon’s face narrowed. No matter how it activated the power on the silver sword, it was like pouring water into the sea, and was unable to cause any ripples.
“With just two creatures at the level of the inscription realm from the dark forest world, you dare to attack me? It seems that it’s difficult for the people from your world to work together.”
Chen Yiming’s gaze met the sea demon’s. At such a close distance, he wasn’t afraid of the silver light at all. This was the confidence that came from having the enhancement from his two talents.
Although the two terrifying creatures were extremely powerful, and each of them had the strength to destroy an entire continent, it was a pity that they had chosen the wrong target to test their strength on.
In addition, the two of them didn’t seem to be on the same team as the huge eye. Otherwise, if they knew something about the situation, they wouldn’t have dared to provoke Chen Yiming.
Chen Yiming twisted his wrist and grabbed the silver sword. He pulled the three-eyed sea demon towards him and threw a punch at its chest.
The mysterious symbols on the surface of the sea demon’s powerful armor were completely activated, as if they had come alive. It was as if a mysterious note was played in the air.
“What’s the goal of the one you are working for?”
“Boom!”
Blue blood splattered everywhere, and a shadow fist broke out from the sea demon’s back, the impact causing the clouds in the sky to disperse.
A second ago, the sea demon was still smiling. In the next second, its face was distorted and it spat out a large mouthful of blue blood. Two lumps of flesh had been pulverized by Chen Yiming’s punches, and a large hole appeared in its chest.
“Die!”
The sea demon lying weakly on Chen Yiming’s arm looked up and sneered. At some point, the seaweed-like things on its lower body had crawled all over Chen Yiming.
Mysterious symbols flickered as an invisible sealing power trapped Chen Yiming, leaving only his two eyes free to move.
“Eh?”
His eyes were as calm as an ancient well, causing the sea demon to be extremely shocked. However, it did not care about what that meant and immediately abandoned all the seaweed-like things to make its retreat.
The terrifying snake hissed.
It soared into the sky from its coiled state. Every scale stretched out, and the red and green colors seemed to have the ability to cause one to hallucinate.
Its huge mouth opened up in the sky, revealing a huge black hole. Then, it descended from the sky and swallowed the human figure together with all the seaweed-like things as it charged back into the deep sea.
“Eh?”
Chen Yiming’s vision darkened. He hadn’t expected the giant snake to dare to devour him. Wasn’t it afraid that it would stuff itself to death?
If this move was used on other humans, it might be effective. As long as they could not break through the giant snake’s body, the terrifying underwater pressure and the special environment inside the snake’s body might really suffocate them to death.
However, just like at the start, the giant snake and the sea demon did not choose the right target to test their strength on.
“Giant transformation!”
A low growl came from the bottom of the sea.
First, the sea shook slightly. Then, the surface of the sea began to rise, as if a tectonic plate was moving at the bottom of the sea.
The seaweed-like things on Chen Yiming’s body exploded, and his entire body expanded to become a 1,000-meter-tall giant. The terrifying snake was stuffed at first, but in the next moment, it exploded into countless pieces.
The bottom of the sea, where only a little light could reach, turned a bright red as the loud bang sounded.
In an instant, two terrifying creatures from the dark forest world, the three-eyed sea demon and the terrifying giant snake, were severely injured and killed by a single human. This was enough to shock all the creatures from their world.
“Tell me! Who are you three creatures at the level of the inscription realm working for?”
Chen Yiming returned to his normal size and leaped out of the sea. He stood in front of the sea demon and glanced at the firebird that had flown far away.
The three-eyed sea demon had lost more than half of its body and knew that it could not escape by itself. If it fought back now, it would only be courting death. Therefore, it only gave a strange laugh.
“The strongest human, if you dare to kill us, just wait for the lord to turn your body into medicine!”
Its words were filled with a strong threat, as if it believed that it still had some worth.
“Medicine? Forget it. It doesn’t matter who is behind it. I’ll just kill them all when the time comes.” Chen Yiming couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath.
Using his hand as a sword, he slashed down from midair, immediately reducing the body of the three-eyed sea demon to dust.
Among those at the same level, his body could be said to be invincible. Be it the three-eyed sea demon or the terrifying giant snake, they were not a match for him.
They used mysterious symbols to transform into indestructible weapons, but they shattered easily when faced with Chen Yiming. When they slashed at his body it felt like he was just scratching an itch.
…
In the uninhabited desert on the African continent.
The firebird landed at the entrance of an underground palace. Its arrival made the surrounding environment even drier, and the air seemed to be burning up.
The eyes of the two stone statues at the entrance of the underground palace suddenly lit up with a red light. The red light swept across the firebird, as if to confirm its identity.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
After passing the verification, the statues fell silent again and returned to their lifeless state. At the same time, a stone door was raised, revealing a dark and silent staircase.
The firebird shrank to less than two meters and walked down the steps into the depths of the passage. The stone door fell shut and sealed the entrance to the underground palace again.
After passing through a long flight of steps, it arrived at a wide space. There were chains connecting various stone jars all around. On a closer look, they seemed to be arranged in a certain pattern.
In the middle of the space was a stone slab that was lying diagonally. It was surrounded by pillars, and the pillars were also connected to the stone jars by chains. In addition, there were red veins extending from the bottom of the stone slab.
“How’s the matter going?”
As the firebird approached the stone slab, the image on it shook, and an incomplete pupil appeared. The terrifying aura made the firebird lower its head and not dare to look straight at it.
“The giant snake and the sea demon both died at the hands of that human.”
As the firebird gave its report, its entire body trembled uncontrollably. Sparks flew from its feathers, causing it to become even more nervous.
“That’s good. It’s done. This is your reward.”
A faint voice echoed in the underground palace.
The stone slab emitted a red light that landed on the firebird’s body. Immediately, its body stopped trembling. A raging flame burned, illuminating the underground palace.
At the same time, a pattern representing flames appeared on the firebird’s forehead. This was a sign of a breakthrough. Everything had happened too suddenly.
When the firebird subconsciously looked up, it realized that the pupil on the stone slab had already disappeared. Even the red veins at the bottom of the surrounding stone pillars had turned gray, making them look like stone pipes.
The entire underground palace was silent. There were only stone items and black chains there, and nothing else.
Not long after, the stone door at the entrance of the underground palace opened, and the firebird came out.
“No wonder the dark forest world was sealed off bit by bit. At that time, the top creatures were at odds with each other and did not realize that a threat that could cause the end of their world had already arrived.”
The firebird had long been planted with a special control method and became a spy left behind in the dark forest world by the black tide. Its life and death were no longer in its control, and it was only following orders.
Then, the firebird flapped its wings and flew away. It still had to report the results of the battle to another powerful creature.
…
The spiritual figure that Chen Yiming had summoned in advance was guarding the Daxia Kingdom, so he decided to head to the oceanic trench to take a look.
Running along the surface of the sea, he took some time to reach the spot where he had stopped previously. The barrier that reached into the clouds had already disappeared, and Chen Yiming boldly continued towards the trench.
When he arrived at the surface of the sea directly above the oceanic trench, he discovered that a group of blue-haired and white-eyed people had also stopped there.
“Did the huge eye arrange for you all to monitor the war weapon here?”
Chen Yiming smiled at them, but no matter how one looked at it, his smile was filled with ill intentions.
“Don’t do anything rash.”
The group of blue-haired and white-eyed people were frightened by the person who had arrived. They were afraid that the other party would make a move, since there might be a huge problem if they made a move here.
“Don’t worry, I won’t cause too much of a commotion.”
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure moved, leaving behind only a shadow on the spot. Then, he tapped a blue-haired and white-eyed man, who died on the spot.
Next, this group of blue-haired and white-eyed people died one after another. None of them could dodge it.
When there was only one left, the person’s pupils were suddenly filled with a ripple pattern, and a powerful aura appeared.
“The huge eye?”
Chen Yiming immediately thought that it had used some strange method to possess the blue-haired and white-eyed man from a distance.
“Stop. It was a subordinate of the bone beast who was testing you. It has nothing to do with me,” the blue-haired and white-eyed man said.
“The one that appeared in the Antarctic?” Chen Yiming asked.
“That’s right.”
As soon as he finished speaking,
Chen Yiming took a step forward and arrived in front of the blue-haired and white-eyed man, smashing him to pieces with a single punch. His eyes, which had a ripple pattern on them before he died, clearly revealed a shocked expression.
After destroying the trace of the huge eye’s spiritual will, Chen Yiming muttered, “So what if I know who it is? I don’t have the ability to attack them for the time being.”
Chen Yiming walked around the oceanic trench.
Because he did not dare to use his spiritual power to openly investigate the situation at the bottom of the sea, other than knowing that the situation was normal in the oceanic trench, he did not discover anything else.
Before long, he left in disappointment.
…
“Brother, is it true that the human stronghold is about to close and all the people are being evacuated?”
Chen Yiming was communicating with the figure in his mind when Chen Yingying stood up from the sofa and asked him a question.
“What do you think? The creatures from the otherworld have already taken the initiative to come to the blue planet. Why bother hunting in their territory?”
Chen Yiming explained to his sister after arranging for the spiritual figure to return to the otherworld.
“Didn’t you say last time that the creatures from the otherworld had been chased underground? Were all the creatures left on the surface mutant creatures?” Chen Yingying asked in confusion.
Chen Yiming coughed and continued, “There will always be something overlooked. I was just judging from the overall situation. You misunderstood it.”
The truth was that many of the powerful creatures that had escaped from the dark forest world had brought a large number of their subordinates with them.
As for the powerful creatures whose images were captured by the satellite, because they had no intention of starting a conflict with humans, the information had yet to be made public to ensure the peace and stability in the people’s hearts so that the industries could continue operating normally.
With that, he added, “Actually, it should have been closed a long time ago. The mutant creatures over there move with a unified will. The human warrior teams can’t deal with them at all. It’s very easy for the entire team to be surrounded and killed.”
Chen Yingying nodded and sat back on the sofa to watch the news.
At this moment, the news station finished reporting on the evacuation of the human stronghold and switched to the next piece of news. A beautiful announcer was holding a microphone and talking to a young man who looked to be less than 30 years old.
Behind the two of them was a laboratory. The sign on the door read, “Water Wood University’s Astronomy Department Laboratory.”
“They are long and thin. Isn’t she cold?”
Chen Yiming’s gaze landed on the beautiful announcer’s legs. She was wearing a pair of stockings made of a reflective material, so it was difficult not to notice them.
However, the weather was getting even colder. The laboratory building shown on television was surrounded by a thick layer of snow. Every time the two of them spoke, they would exhale a long puff of white mist.
The beautiful announcer smiled and said, “Professor Lu Zhou, have you ever thought that after dozens of teams accepted the mission at the same time, you would be the one to overcome this huge challenge…”
Lu Zhou said, “I didn’t think too much about it. I just did some normal experiments. The main thing is that the search for a new planet that could support life did not start only recently. Instead, a lot of basic research was already done many years ago. I was just lucky to have a flash of inspiration.”
The beautiful announcer paused for a moment. Chen Yiming’s sharp eyes saw a small crack on her red lips. It was probably because the weather in the north was both dry and cold.
