Chapter 362
Kong follows a sweet and cute style, and her music is mainly light and cheerful.
Shi Lei frowned suddenly halfway through the conversation.
Within the range of his Psychic Scan, a powerful aura suddenly erupted. It was like shining a wolf-tooth flashlight in the dark; it was impossible to miss.
Um?
It can detect Shi Lei's Psychic Scan and even respond by marking its own location.
In terms of strength, the opponent is at least at the Immortal Realm or above.
In Shi Lei's current team, only Mudrock is capable of performing the same operation.
Miss Nian's summoning ability is too unique to determine her true level of cultivation. The Emperor, on the other hand, is usually very low-key, making confirmation impossible.
After noticing something amiss, Shi Lei immediately pinpointed the other party's location.
Based on her impressive figure, it can be confirmed that she is the busty mature woman I met on the beach this afternoon.
After releasing a powerful aura, the opponent quickly concealed themselves. Not long after, they released it again, then concealed themselves a second time, as if using a flashlight.
But there's another possibility: I want to talk to him.
Just then, Shi Lei had the same idea, and disregarding that Miss Kong's performance was not yet over, he got up to leave.
Seeing this, Texas, who was standing nearby, asked:
Where are you going? To the restroom?
"Okay, I'll go out for a bit. Please look after Lisa, I'll be right back."
Shi Lei is currently unaware of the busty older woman's identity and stance, and doesn't want to involve too many people. He thinks he can handle these matters alone.
Texas rolled her eyes slightly and suddenly uttered a remark that left people both amused and exasperated:
"Then let's go, I'll go with you."
The unexpected reply made Shi Lei grin, and he pointed to the flight Miss singing energetically on stage:
"She can see the front row while she's singing up there, it's not good for so many people to leave at once. You stay here and don't move around, I'll be right back."
After saying that, Shi Lei got up and left.
Watching his departing figure, Texas hesitated, wanting to say something but ultimately said nothing.
As a woman, she is very sensitive to certain things.
For example, this afternoon, Shi Lei kept looking back at a mature woman on the beach, which was quite intriguing.
His sudden departure at this point might be because he discovered the woman's whereabouts and went to look for her.
Texas knew that the more you forbid a man from doing something, the more he'll do it. Like a teenager, he's prone to rebellion.
The more pressure you put on Shi Lei at this point, the further you will push him away.
Let's try to look at it from a different perspective and be more understanding. I believe he can control himself and won't do anything out of line.
After leaving the open-air venue, Shi Lei saw the busty older woman next to the roller coaster ticket office.
Alty spotted a man who looked like a fellow countryman and winked at him happily.
"Haha, you actually came!"
Shi Lei couldn't determine whether this woman was friend or foe. But he never took chances in his dealings with people. If communication failed and a fight broke out, it would be best to choose a quiet, secluded place.
Although the Jade Shield can protect the entire audience at Garrison Amusement Park, equipment left on site, such as sound systems and flashlights, suffer greatly.
Tomorrow is August 1st, and the Obsidian Music Festival will be held all day. If the equipment is damaged tonight, it will seriously affect the subsequent experience of the visitors.
"It's not convenient to talk here, shall we go somewhere else?"
"OK."
Alty readily agreed and followed Shi Lei away from Garrison Amusement Park. They headed west through the bustling streets and arrived at the beach in Sistag.
It was nine o'clock, and the night was deep. The various performance venues at Sistag were brightly lit.
You can stroll along the beach anytime, but the Obsidian Music Festival, with its insane atmosphere, is a once-in-a-lifetime event.
This resulted in the absence of tourists on the beach, and even the takoyaki vendors closed their shops early.
All you can hear is the whistling night wind and the sound of the tides. It's the perfect setting for either discussing private matters or getting into a fight.
Upon seeing the busty, mature woman, Shi Lei wondered if she, like him, was a time traveler. To confirm this, he needed to use the most professional code:
"Odd changes, even remains the same?"
Upon hearing this, Alty was stunned for a moment:
"What did you say?"
Shi Lei wasn't sure if the busty woman hadn't understood or hadn't heard him clearly, so he threw out the next heavyweight code:
"Imperial Jade Liquor".
"Ah?"
Alty still didn't understand, wondering why the other person would suddenly mention jade wine on the beach.
She frowned and thought carefully about the content, feeling that it might be some kind of secret code?
Even if it's a code, Alty doesn't know the answer. Therefore, there's no way to give a perfect answer.
She turned her gaze to the dark sea, placed her right hand on her abdomen, and spoke in an ancient language, producing heavenly sounds.
I heard the ripples of your falling tears?
Was that your nightmare?
Your heart is cracked into a bleeding flower petal?
Shi Lei has a system translation feature, allowing him to hear what the busty mature woman is singing.
But this isn't a concert venue or a music festival stage. Who would meet someone and immediately burst into song at the sea? Perhaps it's some kind of secret code?
Like Alty, he also didn't know the right answer and had to remain silent.
Their eyes met, and the scene became quite awkward.
Seeing that the man was staring at her but making no move, Alty had no choice but to break the deadlock:
"Regardless of our identities, we can confirm that neither of us are ordinary people. I believe you have no objection to that, sir?"
Shi Lei remained silent and shook his head in response.
He wanted to wait for the other person to speak first, then find a weakness and counter it accordingly, thereby gaining the initiative in the conversation.
"I think it's a waste of time to use code words or secret signals to test each other. This time I took the initiative to contact you, so naturally I hope to exchange sincerity for sincerity."
My three compatriots and I have walked on this land for hundreds and thousands of years. But we are not native to this land, and there are still many things we don't know.
"Sir, you must be a deity of this land? I can clearly sense that you are far more powerful than most sea Sea God."
Upon hearing the busty, mature woman introduce herself, claiming that she and her compatriots had lived for nearly a thousand years, Shi Lei's eyelids twitched violently. And what followed was even more unheard-of information:
"A deity? Sea God? What are you talking about?"
Upon hearing this, Alty grinned, apologized for her oversight, and explained to him:
"I'm sorry, the names may vary in different regions. If we use the names used in this land, the gods are immortals, or perhaps Great Beast."
Upon hearing the mention of Great Beast, Shi Lei immediately understood. A thousand years ago, the Yan had hunted down countless Great Beasts that were worshipped as gods and expelled the remaining Great Beast from its territory.
"So, you're Great Beast?"
From the start of their conversation until now, the man in front of Alty has not revealed any useful information to her.
She didn't care. Great Beast were extremely rare on this land, so being overly cautious was never an exaggeration.
If he doesn't want to talk, he'll talk. When the other party feels the need to exchange information, they will naturally speak.
Alty didn't want to be enemies with this fellow countryman, so she maintained a friendly and communicative approach.
"You're right. The four of us are gods from the deep sea, but we are not the first Sea God. When we awoke, the Sea God Temple had already been corrupted by the Sea Creatures."
At that time, we were still very weak. After desperately escaping from the Sea God Temple, we have been wandering this land, searching for a force that can unite us.
Unfortunately, at that time, the gods of the land were hunted down and driven away, disappearing from this land. We searched for a long time, but could not find our compatriots."
Hearing this, Shi Lei was very surprised.
It seems that this Great Beast, which had transformed into human form, mistook him for one of its own kind on land.
When faced with unfamiliar terms, Shi Lei proactively asked questions:
"I have a question, but I'm not sure if I should ask it."
"Please feel free to speak."
What is this "Sea Creatures" you're talking about?
Alty wasn't surprised to hear this question.
If the other party is truly a deity on land, it is perfectly normal that they would not know about the dangers from the depths of the ocean.
She pondered for a moment and explained carefully:
"How should I put it? The Sea Creatures are creations left behind by the Pre-Civilization of Ama-10. They also possess exaggerated adaptability, incurable infectivity, abnormal evolutionary abilities, and the ability to assimilate infected organisms. Moreover, the Sea Creatures also possess a sense of community. Individuals are highly unified in their thoughts. They are creatures devoid of any personal emotions, with the sole purpose of the survival and development of the entire species."
When the topic of group consciousness came up, Shi Lei immediately thought of his recently captured pet—that giant Originium Crawler.
The queen worm can remotely control the actions of other Originium Crawler from deep within the cave. If this were done by an even more powerful species, the effect would be terrifying.
"Highly adaptable, capable of evolution, possessing a sense of community, and even the ability to infect and assimilate. By all accounts, it's an almost perfect creature. Doesn't this Sea Creatures have any weaknesses?"
Alty looked up at the horizon and did not reply immediately.
Her gaze seemed to pierce through the surface of the sea, glancing towards the deep seabed where no light ever shines.
"You could say they exist, or you could say they don't. Ordinary Sea Creatures are quite ordinary in strength. The most powerful ones should be the Sea God Sea Creatures who reside in the Sea God Temple. Let me give you an example, and you'll understand how extraordinary the Sea Creatures are."
For example, if you use an ability to destroy a common Sea Creatures, and other Sea Creatures see it, the collective consciousness will allow the Sea God's Sea Creatures to see it simultaneously.
In order to find a way to counter it, they will send out more Sea Creatures to harass you. The more times you use an ability, the more they will devise countermeasures and evolve forms that can resist that ability.
This means that if all the Sea God's Sea Creatures cannot be eliminated at once, the longer the situation drags on, the higher the Sea Creatures's evolution level will become. Eventually, even the most ordinary Sea Creatures will become difficult to resist.
We walk on this land because we want to gather all forces that can fight against Sea Creatures.
One day, the Sea Creatures will completely dominate the oceans of Terra Planet. At that time, they will not hesitate to attack the land. I believe that the vast majority of nations will not be able to withstand the Sea Creatures for even a month.
Whether you like to cooperate with us or not, we will be on the same side from now on. Faced with the annihilation wave of the Sea Creatures, no one can remain uninvolved.
It's absurd that a form of resistance can gradually evolve by using countless henchmen to 'trick' others.
This is the first time Shi Lei has realized that such a huge threat exists in the ocean.
According to the description of the busty mature woman, they escaped from that Sea God Temple hundreds of years ago.
There were Sea Creatures at that time who were infected by the first Sea God. After so many years, they must have been assimilated.
With the evolution over the past few centuries, its strength has increased by leaps and bounds. Most attacks and techniques are probably no longer effective.
With Shi Lei's current abilities, he is not absolutely certain of defeating Sea God Sea Creatures.
It seems that only after advancing to the Seven Archons Realm, finding a weakened Great Beast to practice on, and accumulating enough Roleplay Value to reach the Heavenly Principles Realm, will one dare to formally declare war on Sea Creatures.

Since Alty indicated she wanted to contact a man who appeared to be a fellow countryman, the task of inquiring about the Sargol woman from Ama-10 Kal'tsit fell to Aya.
Alty and Aya were both second-generation deities who emerged from the Sea God Temple, and their strength was comparable. Aya easily bypassed the patrols and sentries on the This Ship and successfully infiltrated the interior.
On the left side of the staircase leading down from the deck, there is a map of the This Ship's interior. This is to help visitors and infected individuals waiting for treatment find their way.
Aya put on her hood and followed the signs to the laboratory below. Sensing the unusual creatures inside through the heavy Metal Door, she couldn't help but grin.
Arrive.
The door wasn't closed properly; Aya grasped the doorknob and turned it to open it. She walked into the unfamiliar laboratory, looking around at her surroundings.
