The next moment, countless slimy, slick tentacles stretched out from the pitch-black seawater all around him. They wove themselves into a ball and wrapped Chen Cheng inside.
Chen Cheng shook his head, shaking off the dizziness in his mind, only then realizing that he had already been surrounded by the sea monster's tentacles.
Only then did Chen Cheng discover that this seawater, which looked no different from the waters outside, actually had a certain numbing effect on perception.

Sizzle, sizzle. The sound of water instantly evaporating upon scorching firewood rang out. Chen Cheng had already donned the Lava Battle Armor, while the Lava Greatspear in his hand had transformed into a throwing spear.
Sizzle, sizzle. Chen Cheng hurled the Lava Longspear in the direction of the sea monster's tentacles as indicated by his perception.
Yet he received no sensation of striking a target—only the feeling of the spear sinking deep into the sea without encountering the slightest resistance.
But in Chen Cheng's perception, sea monster tentacles were indeed present in that direction, and they were drawing ever closer to him.

Drawing upon Crimson Ray's rule, Chen Cheng rode the water forward, gripping the Water-Splitting Spikes
