Chapter 160: We Cannot Defeat This Sea Monster! (Two-in-One Subscription Request)
At the auction venue, President Huang personally distributed the Spirit Rice that he had prepared.
In reality, it was just the lowest-grade Spirit Rice in the Immortal World.
The main target audience was Rogue Cultivators and cultivators at the Qi Refining initial to middle stages.
After the establishment of the Su Ping Foundation, they had long been eating better quality Spirit Rice. However, in the unclaimed storage bags they collected, there were still these low-quality spiritual items.
Su Ping only distributed a small portion of them, which could be considered as enhancing the background and persuasive power of his named disciples in terms of their profound knowledge of the mysterious realm.
So far, the effect was good.
In Su Ping's opinion, the taste of this Spirit Rice was just average.
Judging solely based on appearance, aroma, and taste, it was not better than the signature dishes of the top chefs on the Water Blue Star.
The reason why the attendees behaved so poorly was mainly because they had never come into contact with spiritual items and Spiritual Qi before.
After smelling the aroma of the Spirit Rice, their genes and subconscious instincts made them feel that this thing would be beneficial to them.
As a result, their brains were influenced to produce the illusion that this thing was a rare and delicious delicacy in the world.
And when they ate this Spirit Rice, every cell in their bodies cheered because they experienced the benefits of spiritual items for the first time.
Indeed, it gave them a genuine sense of enlightenment that this thing should only exist in heaven.
Of course, this would only happen during the first taste.
If they continued to eat Spirit Rice in the future, their taste buds and brains would no longer be shocked like they were now.
However, this was something for the future, as President Huang could tell from the attendees' true microexpressions.
After the auction ended and these people returned, they would definitely set off a storm in the upper-class public opinion circle.
I'm afraid many people will regret why they didn't come in person.
In this case... the next auction or exchange meeting.
The VIP level of the attendees should be raised by at least one level!
After President Huang finished distributing the Spirit Rice, he looked at the wealthy guests who couldn't even bother with etiquette and carefully tasted the aroma of the Spirit Rice by sticking each grain to their tongues before slowly swallowing it.
With a proud smile, President Huang returned to the small room behind the curtain.
There, Lu Daheng and the named disciples were already waiting for President Huang to prepare the meal.
Naturally, these named disciples also had their share of Spirit Rice, and each of them had a large basin compared to the portion fed to the cats in the guests' plates.
There were also braised Demonic Beasts meat, stir-fried Spirit White Cabbage, and other dishes.
All accompanied by a small cup of steaming Spirit Wine.
A mouthful of Spirit Rice, a mouthful of braised meat.
Then a sip of Spirit Wine.
Tsk!
President Huang felt that life was just too blissful!
Even if he was given the opportunity to become a top 500 listed company CEO, he would absolutely not exchange it!
Even though this was a grand wish he had made when he was young but failed to achieve!
The auction officially ended.
The attendees left the industrial area with mixed feelings.
Most of them went directly to the airport and then used their own abilities to leave the city of Gade.
Some of them reported their experiences through encrypted communication and stayed in Gade as contacts for the big shots.
The mayor of Gade and local influential figures gathered for an emergency meeting late at night.
They had to work together to deal with the influx of investments from various major forces.
Faced with such a situation, even the greediest local tycoons became cautious and humble.
As the auction items were taken away, it caused waves of astonishment and stirred up a huge commotion in professional circles, as if experiencing a second-level earthquake.
However, under intentional interference, this information did not form an online frenzy.
Netizens were still discussing how to compete for the position of the Black Crow Goddess's priestess, or the recent activities of celebrities.
While these attendees were busy with their own affairs, another group of guests were invited into the industrial area under the cover of night.
Road tycoon, on behalf of the satisfied Huang, received these arms dealers who had had their fill of excitement.
Half of the money from the auction was handed over to these arms dealers.
And this was just the beginning.
With pleasant cooperation, the volume of orders could continue to increase.
If these arms dealers hadn't been instructed in advance, they would probably have exclaimed whether the other party was arming a large army and preparing to dominate this place.
However, based on the previous transactions, they had vaguely guessed some truths.
For example, the true owner of these arms was not Huang and the others, but the mysterious force behind them.
Although emotionally speaking, it seemed a bit beneath a mysterious force to need mortal weapons, in practical terms, whether the weapons were useful or not was the key for a qualified Transcendent force!
Even if modern technological items could only play a small role, it was still worth a try for them.
After all, at present, they were completely in a seller's market, and a little something mysterious could be exchanged for a large amount of resources from themselves and others.
Moreover, based on Huang and the others' rise to power and the information revealed when the chosen saint returned home, it seemed that the mysterious force behind them was originally just a small to medium-sized force in the mysterious world!
It was not so difficult to understand why their style was a bit lower.
...
The Granvi Sea area.
As news of the scientific exploration ship being attacked by Dahei spread, major forces sent ships to this sea area.
Even various types of submarines came underwater.
The wealthy United States even deployed many underwater drones, hoping to find some clues.
If we were to discover the palace of a sea monster, that would naturally be even better!
And as the auction came to an end, the influential figures began to realize the benefits and potential of spiritual objects.
The military's request for increased funding in scientific research was also surprisingly approved.
After a large amount of funding was allocated, it is still unknown whether there will be any actual results, but the actions of all parties visibly sped up.
Various supplies were piled up in the warehouse as if they were free.
At this time...
They encountered the attack of the Black Jacket Expert and his team. After multiple interrogations, they were released and boarded a new research ship.
After a short rest, they once again set off for the Arctic Circle.
Actually, it's not that they love their work so much...
It's because the other side is giving them too much.
Not only did their treatment double, but they were also directly promised that if they found the same ice crystal again...
They would receive the benefits they each needed.
The experts could get a large house in the wealthy district or an honorary position in the corresponding association.
Parents with children could receive recommendation letters from prestigious schools.
As for the single young people, it was simpler and more straightforward - a large sum of money as a bonus!
Under the heavy rewards, the morale of the Red Jacket Expert's team soared.
They didn't even care about the possibility of encountering danger from the sea monster again.
After all, they were told that if they found the ice crystal, a plane would be sent to take them away, so they wouldn't have to travel by ship anymore.
In their opinion, once the sea monster left the surface of the sea, it could only stay in the air for a short time, maybe tens or hundreds of meters at most.
After all, it was a Transcendent in the sea. It's not like they were flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters... Could they still be robbed by a sea monster?!
So they set foot on the cold ice mountain, relying on their previous experience and the intuition of the professionals.
After several days of effort...
With the help of a local old hunter...
They once again found a similar ice crystal from underground.
The Red Jacket Expert treated it like a treasure and placed it in a specially made large test tube.
Then, they immediately contacted their superiors.
This time, they didn't have to wait long.
Half a day later, a specially made small military aircraft landed at the camp.
The Red Jacket Expert and his excited teammates boarded the cargo hold of the aircraft.
Not long after, amidst a series of "OK" sounds, the aircraft took off again, preparing to first arrive at a military base near the United States.
Then, they would embark on a long-distance flight, directly taking the ice crystal sample to the largest research base in their home country.
In their opinion, whatever the sea monster wanted, it must be something with mysterious properties.
There is significant research value!
The plane is flying smoothly in the high sky.
The red jacket expert, who has been busy for the past few days, couldn't help but close his eyes and fall asleep.
In his dream, the red jacket expert saw himself standing on a podium, receiving compliments from his peers as a top expert.
Then the dream suddenly changed, and he found himself in a luxurious house that he had only seen on TV. He was introducing everything about the house to his wife and children, who were looking at him with admiration, and he assured them that this was definitely not a dream!
Then, the red jacket expert suddenly felt a cool sensation on his face.
There was a loud noise in his ears, and the scene in front of him began to shake.
"What's going on!"
The cold wind woke the red jacket expert up, and after exclaiming in surprise, he quickly grabbed the oxygen mask that had fallen and put it on his face.
He and his teammates looked up in astonishment and saw a large hole in the cabin.
A sea monster, covered in a faint black mist that they had seen before, stuck its head out of the hole.
It slightly opened its mouth, revealing sharp teeth.
The red jacket expert felt a warm sensation in his lower body.
Then, in just a split second of thought, the red jacket expert unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the safety box, and took out the test tube containing the ice crystal stone.
Big Black, the sea monster, looked at the human director and nodded slightly, then gently sucked in its mouth.
The test tube was pulled out of the red jacket expert's hand by a tremendous force.
Big Black obtained another ice crystal stone and slowly moved its head away from the cabin.
Then Big Black left the military aircraft, intending to perform a free fall into the sea.
Suddenly, Big Black noticed that the military aircraft seemed to be out of control and rapidly descending.
At the same time, the cabin echoed with the red jacket expert's screams for help.
Big Black didn't understand the language of Europa, but it could still sense the human's emotions.
Thinking of its master's command.
It hesitated for a moment, feeling that this was not acting, and the Magical Item on the other side really couldn't fly!
While silently complaining about these iron-clad Magical Items being garbage.
Big Black had a thought.
Strong winds blew in from all directions, lifting the military aircraft with the large hole.
Then, the winds gradually slowed down, causing the military aircraft to go from losing control to decelerating, and finally stabilizing its speed until it gently floated on the surface of the sea with a "plop" sound.
After the two pilots regained their senses with a few startled cries, they stuttered as they responded to the inquiries from their superiors through the communication system.
The red jacket expert also stood up in a daze and looked at the sea outside the window.
He suddenly felt a sense of gratitude towards the sea monster.
He believed that the one who saved the people on this plane could only be that sea monster!
"It should be a Transcendent creature with advanced intelligence."
"And, it can fly! And it can fly very high!"
"This mythical creature is truly extraordinary..."
After obtaining the second ice crystal stone, Dahei initially wanted to stay away from this sea area to avoid being taken away by the little turtle again.
But as soon as it entered the water this time,
Dahei discovered that there were many strange metallic objects on the seabed.
There was no fluctuation of magic power,
But they were clearly a type of magical item.
After Dahei sensed that they had noticed it, it was as if a shark smelling blood rushed over.
Dahei, constrained by the prohibition, dared not kill indiscriminately, but as a black fish by nature, it was extremely cruel.
It opened its mouth slightly and then forcefully spat out!
Dozens of powerful water currents appeared in the sea!
In the blink of an eye, these underwater drones or detectors were hit by these water currents and instantly shattered into pieces, becoming part of the underwater garbage.
This attack made the joint fleet of the United States and Europa even more excited.
More ships went to the corresponding sea area.
A large number of planes took off and more underwater drones were deployed.
As the ocean became lively,
The mysterious turtle in the volcano also sensed this abnormality and after a moment of confusion in its eyes,
Feeling that Dahei was still healthy, it chose to continue closing its eyes and sleep.
However, Dahei became increasingly restless.
The repeated appearance of those fragile little things made it feel provoked.
Although it could easily escape,
With its speed and the vastness and difficulty of observing the sea,
As long as it chose to flee, even if there were ten times more ships on the sea surface, they would not be able to find its trace!
But how could a strong one flee in front of the weak?
After Dahei sprayed out a water current to destroy the detectors that entered the sea,
Its big head emerged from the sea and roared angrily at the planes in the sky!
This roar echoed through the sky.
Even ordinary people could hear the anger in it.
However, under the command of the generals in the rear,
More than ten unmanned drones flew over and shot detectors towards where Dahei was.
Naturally, these detectors couldn't break through its defenses.
They were even blown away by the strong wind before they could approach Dahei's body surface by one meter.
In Dahei's eyes, this was clearly a declaration of war.
With a low growl,
A kilometer-high waterspout rose into the sky!
And it created a huge attraction around it.
The drivers of those valuable drones sensed the danger and exclaimed in panic, trying to escape.
However, under the suction of the waterspout, these drones struggled for only a few seconds before being sucked in completely.
Then these drones were crushed, destroyed, and completely disappeared in the violent water currents.
After Dahei used its ultimate move to destroy those annoying flying objects,
While still angry, it quickly swam towards the large ships that released those flying objects!
As it swam, it thought to itself that this time it was the one being provoked first!
The other side made the first move!
It was just retaliating, so it shouldn't be considered a violation of the prohibition, right?
Thinking like this, Dahei took only a few minutes to see a large cruiser from the United States on the horizon.
This large cruiser was surrounded by more than ten warships and supply ships of various sizes.
The drones were released from this cruiser.
At this moment, they had already noticed Dahei's approach.
After a tense moment, the general who refused to surrender issued the order to engage in combat.
So just as Dahei saw the warships, he also saw flames rising from those large ships.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Under the bombardment, large water splashes rose from the sea.
Several missiles even flew in a parabolic arc and exploded into large flames on the surrounding sea surface.
However, under their detection equipment, the sea monster immediately sank to the seabed without choosing to withstand their firepower.
The captain ordered the use of depth charges.
Two anti-submarine aircraft whizzed by.
Depth charges were dropped and created concentric waves.
This was an effective attack method against submarines.
But for Dahei, who could control water currents, it was like a tickle.
However, Dahei still had some fear of those fast-flying metal magical items and chose to prioritize destroying them.
Just as the aircraft had finished dropping the bombs, they were suddenly thrown off balance by a sudden gust of wind.
Then they collided with each other at high speed.
Under a burst of expensive fireworks, they all fell into the sea together!
Afterwards,
The observers screamed.
They observed that the sea monster began to accelerate and was approaching at a speed of 40 knots, 50 knots, and even 60 knots!
"Fire! Release torpedoes!"
"Hurry, don't let it get any closer!"
The captain's scalp tingled, and he anxiously gave orders.
However... the opponent's speed is just too fast!
After the first two attacks were ineffective, they sadly realized that they had lost the advantage against this sea monster.
The observer kept repeating, "Too fast, it's just too fast!"
Looking at the sea monster right in front of them, with a speed exceeding 80 knots, they closed their eyes.
In the next instant!
Boom!
With a loud noise, the giant black creature collided with the side wing of the American large cruiser.
Under the terrifying screech of steel, the entire cruiser seemed to be turned upside down.
Then, two large holes appeared in the impacted area of the cruiser, and the keel broke as well.
The entire massive warship seemed to be shaking violently.
People on the surrounding small and large boats stared wide-eyed, sweating as they watched this scene unfold.
The feeling of helplessness made the officers on these boats feel despair.
Roar!
After breaking through the cruiser, the giant black creature once again raised its head and let out a terrifying roar.
This time, because the distance was close enough.
Under the faint dragon's might, even the crew members on the cruiser who were terrified and wanted to escape were frozen, losing their ability to move.
The other boats also fell into chaos.
Even the bravest crew members chose to put down their weapons and start praying.
The giant black creature surveyed its surroundings.
To its astonishment, it found that not a single person on these boats was willing to continue fighting!
It couldn't help but feel bored.
Of course, on the other hand, after using the water vortex and repeatedly using water and wind control techniques, the giant black creature gradually realized the disadvantages of being in this strange place.
The magic power it used... recovered too slowly, to the point where it could hardly feel the magic power recovering!
This made the giant black creature feel a little lacking in confidence.
After roaring a few times as a demonstration and confirming that everyone around was weak, it knew it had won this time.
The giant black creature submerged into the deep sea and swam towards the volcano where the mysterious turtle was located.
If it wanted to recover its magic power quickly, it could only obtain Medicine Pills from this mysterious turtle.
Even the ice crystal stone could only continue to be preserved by this mysterious turtle.
However, the giant black creature believed that after its master obtained the treasure, they would definitely inquire about its origin, and its own contribution would not be buried!
On the surface of the sea, the large cruiser was slowly sinking.
After the boats around regained their senses, they joined in the rescue efforts.
However, they couldn't save the cruiser with the gaping holes.
And they listened to the survivors' accounts.
This cruiser is not just a big hole, but also has a large amount of water flowing like a metal radiation storm, damaging many internal ship equipment and causing many isolation layers to fail. As a result, even a slight delay in sinking is difficult to achieve...
"We can't defeat this sea monster!"
An officer on a warship looked at the vice captain of the cruiser, who looked like a drowned rat, muttering to himself:
"As long as it is still in the sea, most of our attack methods are useless against it."
"Combined with the speed it showed before... even if it's not long-lasting."
"It's enough to toy with all our naval and underwater units."
"I will make a personal suggestion... not to provoke this monster anymore."
The vice captain kept repeating his whisper.
No one next to the officer stopped this morale-damaging behavior.
Now the vice captain is the highest-ranking officer.
As for the captain?
According to the observations of the rescued crew members, the captain was standing on the bridge at the time, so he was directly thrown out of the cabin and then fell into the water.
Based on the footage at the time, the chances of survival for the crew member who fell into the water were almost negligible.
A large cruiser was sunk by a sea monster.
This kind of major event was quickly known to the major powers, who promptly sent envoys to offer condolences.
At the same time, the danger rating of the sea monster was raised to extreme.
Meanwhile...
The Arctic was once again listed as a key focus.
As long as they had the ability to conduct scientific research in the Arctic, the major powers began to form new scientific research teams and increase production and improvement of specialized equipment.
In addition, it seems that they realized their lack of underwater attack methods.
Many experts suddenly received a large amount of funding, allowing them to start researching underwater attack methods.
Furthermore, the spokespersons for the Transcendent forces who have currently emerged also received free information provided by the major powers.
They learned that on the other side of the Blue Star, a large sea monster had already appeared.
They only knew about it.
However, these spokespersons could not provide the knowledge that the major powers hoped to obtain.
Whether it was Director Huang, Grandmaster Yuan Ci, or the old master of Qingmu Temple.
They truly did not know the origin of Dahei.
But whether others believe their honest answers is another matter.
As for Su Ping, he refreshed at the fishing spot in the reservoir. After he came back from fishing, he contacted Xuantu and Dahei.
That's when he learned about this matter.
Regarding this, Su Ping expressed deep regret for the cruiser's encounter and thought that Dahei did a decent job.
Deserving of a reward of a Qi and Blood Pill!
