"Of course! Becoming a guardian is the highest honor for every Ocean creature."
Sea Herring spoke as if it were a matter of course, as if it were something everyone would do.
Hela was about to say that there are many more worthwhile things to do in this world, but after thinking about it, it suddenly made sense if we changed this to the college entrance examination.
After all, Hela saw many senior high school students back in school who barely ate anything and spent day and night doing practice problems in preparation for the college entrance exam.
In comparison, what Sea Herring did wasn't too outrageous.
They swam like this, one after the other, for about an hour, when suddenly the Sea Herring slowed down.
"What's the matter?"
"It's nothing, we're almost at the exit, we need to slow down, otherwise we'll wake it up."
"It?"
"Yes, it's a very powerful beast, practically the leader of the entire Ten Thousand Sharks Valley. It usually sleeps near the exit to prevent any unexpected incidents."
"Is it dangerous?"
Sea Herring paused for a moment, then shook his head. "Definitely not. This guy can't even beat many guardians. As long as you don't anger him, he'll never take the initiative..."
boom--!!!
Before Sea Herring could finish speaking, the entire Ten Thousand Sharks Valley trembled violently, as if a bomb buried deep underground had exploded.
At the same time, a furious roar came from the void.
"Roar--!!!!"
All three of them covered their ears in agony, their eardrums feeling as if they were being pierced by countless needles.
Even the surrounding smog began to tremble because of this roar.
Thump thump... thump finally...
Another strange sound came, but it wasn't any other sound; it was the beating of Hela's heart!
"N-nothing... Immortal..."
With her lips trembling, Hela uttered a sentence to herself that she didn't even understand.
But when Nangong Wu, who was standing next to Hera, heard Hela say that, his pupils under the mask suddenly contracted.
"Run!!!"
His voice echoed from beneath the mask, and without a word, he frantically swam in one direction, using both hands and feet.
boom--!!!
A colossal figure crushed through the smog like a meteorite, crashing onto the sea and shaking the entire underwater world.
A pair of sharp, scarlet eyes slowly cleaved open in the smog, and the massive body was completely obscured by the smog.
But Nangong Wu, who was facing the other person, knew that the other person was staring at him!
The Tang Tang family's house in the distance.
Feeling the ground shaking violently, Tang Tang was so frightened that she clung tightly to White Foam Shark's leg, but upon seeing him, she immediately let go and clung to Spirit Shark's leg instead.
White Foam Shark:...
"What's wrong? [Ocean] is yawning again?"
A hint of doubt appeared in Spirit Shark's beautiful eyes as she turned to look at White Foam Shark.
"What's going on? This vibration doesn't seem normal."
White Foam Shark did not answer, but instead placed its hands on the ground, closed its eyes, and carefully felt the vibrations.
Then his eyes snapped open, his brow furrowing deeply. "Something's wrong with Ten Thousand Sharks Valley..."
Inside the circular room, which resembled a sculpture carved from pebbles, the green light swayed slightly before flashing intensely.
"What are you doing?!"
"Calm down. This has nothing to do with our Light God Society. Besides, my two subordinates aren't capable of making such a commotion."
Nanming gently raised one hand, his tone extremely calm, as if nothing in the world could stir his emotions.
"How many people did your Light God Society bring this time? And what other humans came here?"
[Ocean] clearly did not believe the Nanming's explanation and angrily questioned them.
The latter remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "Besides myself and my two subordinates, I also brought two people at the ' Starlight ' level, but they are not under my control."
That's all I know. So, how was it? Was it sincere enough?
After a moment of silence, the light began to flicker again.
"Go on, about that girl..."
In an extremely inconspicuous corner, Yan Wusheng, who was looking at the fish in his hand with a look of disgust, suddenly shuddered.
"Did you feel it too?" Wang Canxin, standing to the side, shook the blood off his hands and gazed into the distance.
"Let's go... fishing."
Yan Wusheng was slightly taken aback at first, then grinned, "You little weakling, don't die as soon as you get here."
He lifted Wang Canxin up in one swift motion, and the ripples generated by countless sound waves beneath his feet carried the two of them rapidly toward the source of the vibration.
"Captain, we..."
"With such a commotion, others must have noticed too. Let's go!"
"But this looks so dangerous, will they go?"
Are there any cowards in our team?
"..."
On a hill made of reefs, three blurry figures stared straight ahead, one of whose body was outlined by lightning.
"Let's go! We'll rejoin our team!"
Lei Yong cracked his knuckles, his body transforming into a blur before vanishing from the spot.
Qian Lan, whose entire body was made of lightning, glanced at the person beside her, transformed into lightning, and followed.
Only one person wearing glasses remained. He sighed slightly, rummaged in his pocket for a while before pulling out a somewhat cheap-looking transparent feather, and with a swift movement, followed after them.
Whoa--!
The sound of the sea tearing apart echoed in Nangong Wu's ears, like the ringing of a bell announcing his death.
The two rows of sharp teeth, like hills, were closing rapidly, as if the sky were collapsing.
This scene immediately filled Sea Herring and Hela with an unprecedented sense of oppression.
Under the terrifying pressure, it felt as if one's heartbeat and breathing could no longer occur.
Just as they were stunned, a torrent surrounded them, carrying them in the opposite direction of the Titan Giant Shark.
Directly ahead of the raging torrent was Nangong Wu, who was panting heavily.
Thump--!!!
A dull, closing sound came from behind, like a nuclear bomb exploding in the sea, stirring up waves. Even surrounded by the turbulent current, the three could clearly feel the powerful impact.
"My goodness! The underwater world is terrifying! How can there be such a huge Variant!"
Nangong Wu gritted his teeth and swam even faster. He didn't dare to look back at all, and just kept his head down and accelerated as much as possible.
Hela was stunned for a moment, then secretly glanced back.
Then she regretted it...
A dark patch of sky was slowly covering them, and this 'sky' was none other than the Titan Shark!
For the first time, Hela felt that the phrase 'blinding the sky' was so fitting when applied to a living being.
This creature, which can still be roughly identified as a shark, is estimated to be hundreds of meters tall, and its length is unimaginable.
A pair of scarlet eyes shone directly at them like the sun.
