The darkness of the deep sea is pure and thick incomparable to any night on land. As the figure of Kraken passes through the water, the light becomes scarcer and scarcer, until it is completely engulfed by endless darkness.
The water pressure is terrifying enough to crush the fine steel into thin sheets, but for Kraken, it is like a gentle embrace when returning home, with a reassuring familiarity and calmness here. He does not need to cover up the inhuman Scorpion Tail Arm, and does not need to suppress the deep sea aura that naturally radiates around him and frightens Soul Master on land.
I don't know how long I have been diving, but no ordinary Sea Soul Beast dared to get close to me. There were only some deep-sea creatures with strange shapes and bleak light, occasionally passing by in the absolute darkness, just like Gui Mei. Finally, the outline of an unimaginably huge undersea mountain range faintly emerged in the deeper darkness. Between the mountains, there was a bottomless rift, like a ferocious wound on the earth.
Kraken Without any hesitation, he folded his body and sank towards one of the widest and deepest rift valleys. On both sides of the rift valley were steep and rugged pitch-black rock walls, with some moss or strange Coral Douluo that emitted dark blue or pale green phosphorescence attached to them, providing a weak light source that reflected the strange lines carved by time and water on the rock walls.
The deeper you go, the water temperature no longer decreases, and there is even a faint strange warmth coming from the depths of the rift valley, but the water pressure increases geometrically. When Kraken finally landed on a relatively flat platform at the bottom of the rift valley, made of some kind of smooth black Rock, two silent and huge black shadows, like reefs that had long been integrated with the darkness, silently emerged from the shadows on both sides of the platform.
They are extremely large, almost as high as the rock walls on both sides. Their outlines are rough and ferocious, with a sense of primitiveness and heaviness unique to deep-sea creations.
It was Soul Beast--Tieshan and Mo Yuan who were ordered to stay here and guard Demon Empress.
"Master." Tieshan's deep voice sounded directly in Kraken's consciousness, like two boulders rubbing against the seabed, thick and full of power. His eyes looked at Kraken, flickered slightly, as if to confirm something, and then lowered his huge head to show respect.
Mo Yuan also conveys the wave of thoughts of respect and waiting for instructions.
Kraken nodded slightly and he could feel that the aura on their bodies was stable and vaguely connected to the environment deep in the rift valley. It was obvious that during the time he was away, they had been fulfilling their duties without slacking off in the slightest.
"Is everything as usual?" Kraken's mental fluctuations were transmitted smoothly, colder than the sea water.
"Report to Master, everything is as usual." Tieshan responded, with a voice as firm as Rock, "Demon Empress His Majesty's breathing is stable and he is still sleeping."
The shadow of Mo Yuan also ripples slightly, conveying the affirmative idea of "no abnormality".
"Yeah." Kraken simply responded, and walked towards the deeper part of the rift, in the direction of the pulsation. Tieshan and Mo Yuan immediately acted like the most loyal shadow guards, following him silently, one on the left and one on the right, reintegrating into the darkness, but their perceptions were firmly locked on every inch of the surrounding water.
Passing through a naturally formed rock crevice that looks like the sharp teeth of a giant beast, the scene in front of you suddenly becomes clear.
This is a relatively open underwater cave. In the center of the cave, Rock does not look like a liquid, but it condenses the purest energy. From time to time, blue light strands flash past on the surface, exuding a vast coercion that makes the soul tremble.
This is the "Eye of the Deep Sea" that Kraken used its own power to combine with some of Deep Sea Demon Whale's Origin to forcibly open up and maintain it here, a nearly independent small energy field.
And in the core of the mass, a vague, graceful and huge outline can be seen, floating quietly. Her eyes are closed tightly, her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under the dim water light, and there is no expression on her beautiful face, as if she has fallen into an eternal sleep.
Thick sea-blue long hair is like the finest silk, floating slowly in the dark water, blending with the surrounding dark energy. Her lower body is not human legs, but a long and powerful fish tail covered with scales as deep as the night sky, with a star-like shimmer on the edges of the scales.
Demon Empress.
Even though she was in a deep sleep, her incomparably perfect face, as well as the terrifying majesty that naturally emanated from her body, originating from the absolute crushing of life levels, still filled this space with an indescribable tranquility and solemnity. It was as if she was not sleeping, but undergoing some kind of transformation that transcended time and space.
Tieshan and Mo Yuan stopped at the entrance of the cave, like two eternal guardian stone statues, no longer moving forward. Their eyes were lowered respectfully, not daring to look directly at the existence in the center of the dark water mass without the slightest offense.
Kraken walked alone to the edge of "Eye of the Deep Sea" and stopped. He stared at the sleeping Demon Empress quietly, and there seemed to be a very subtle fluctuation in the ice-blue eyes under the hood.
He slowly raised his Scorpion Tail left arm, and with a slight thought in his mind, a mixture of pure and majestic energy flow slowly flowed out of his arm and turned into a slender stream of energy, which silently merged into the swirling dark "water" in front of him.
This energy comes from the lifelong efforts and life essence of many Titled Douluo and those Soul Douluo.
The dark "water" seemed to be alive. The moment it received this energy, its rotation speed accelerated slightly, and the blue electric light on the surface became a little more active.
Demon Empress, who was sleeping, seemed to have a more peaceful and beautiful face, and her long eyelashes seemed to tremble slightly, or maybe it was just an illusion of light and shadow. The coercion that was as vast as an abyss and invisible, seemed to have become more solid and deeper.
He took back Scorpion Tail Arm and covered it under the gray robe again. Finally, he took a deep look at the beautiful figure sleeping in the dark water, as if he wanted to carve this picture into the depths of his consciousness. Then, he turned around and walked towards the outside of the cave without any nostalgia.
"Left Guard and Right Guard, is there any message sent back?" Walking out of the cave, Kraken's mental fluctuations were once again transmitted to Tieshan and Mo Yuan, who were waiting outside like rocks.
The huge bodies of Tieshan and Mo Yuan moved slightly. In the shadow transformed by Mo Yuan, blue light flickered, and a cold and clear flow of information was transmitted to the consciousness of Kraken through some special spiritual connection.
The information contained traces of Left Guard and Right Guard's activities in the endless deep sea in the past period. Following Kraken's instructions, they used their 450,000-year cultivation of Ferocious Beast and their understanding of the various races in the deep sea to cautiously contact several powerful deep-sea races who also had a blood feud with Sea God Island.
The information was passed on, and some feedback, explicit or implicit, was brought back. Some groups expressed strong interest and suppressed hatred, some were full of doubts and remained on the sidelines, and some directly refused and were even hostile to the arrival of Zuo Right Guard.
The progress is not rapid, but the seeds have been quietly sown. Sea God Island Sacred Pillar Guardian The message of heavy damage and empty defense is like a stone thrown into the deep sea, slowly making ripples.
Kraken quietly received this information, his ice blue eyes calm under the shadow of the hood. He was not surprised by this, it could even be said that everything was expected.
The forces in the deep sea are intertwined, and hatred and interests are intertwined. It is wishful thinking to want those old guys who have lived for countless years to express their stance immediately. Zuo Right Guard's mission is to sow Core Flame, not to ignite Lie Yan.
"Continue to stay here." He finally gave the order to Tieshan and Mo Yuan. His voice was transmitted through mental fluctuations, leaving no doubt, "Demon Empress's safety is above all else."
"Yes, Master!" Tieshan and Mo Yuan conveyed extremely firm thoughts at the same time.
