Fang Yun began fishing with all his might, catching only middle-grade Literary Heart Fish and not even glancing at the lower-grade ones.
After he caught his fifth middle-grade Standing Bookcase Fish, the entire school suddenly sank to a depth where he could still see them but his hook could not reach them, and their swimming speed dropped sharply.
As long as he kept following the school, they would inevitably surface again. But with them moving so slowly now, waiting would surely allow the two sea beasts to catch up.
The race is about who can venture farther, not who catches more Literary Heart Fish. I have to keep going deeper! Waiting here would cost more than it gained.
The Dragon Boat turned, riding the wind and cleaving the waves as it continued deeper into the Sea Heart.
A little while later, a third sea beast appeared. It was the Hundred-Li Jellyfish, whose name had resounded throughout ancient times!
The Hundred-Li Jellyfish had an extremely tough body. Its bell covered a hundred-li expanse of sea, and it had tens of thousands of venomous tentacles. These tentacles could attack together, making it not merely invincible against opponents of the same rank, but capable of effortlessly crushing even higher-ranked Ancient Demons.
Most terrifying of all, each tentacle of the Hundred-Li Jellyfish could control a sea beast whose rank did not exceed its own. Thus, every Hundred-Li Jellyfish was often an entire army. In ancient times, it had been one of the sea beasts capable of contending with the Dragon Race, and had once fought alongside the Ancient Demon Clan.
Fang Yun was slightly alarmed at the sight. He understood the terror of the Hundred-Li Jellyfish better than anyone else. Such sea beasts had stood at the very pinnacle even in ancient times. If
