Chapter 260: Deep Ocean Core City - Helvendes
The power is stronger than Anti had expected. Just an ordinary body-shaping hammer can be enhanced to this extent. If it is combined with a stronger attack, what kind of lethality it can achieve really makes Anti look forward to it.
These murlocs are just damage testers encountered along the way.
After dealing with them, Anti officially entered the vast city in the center of the deep ocean.
According to the simple science that Momonai had given to Anti before, the core city of Havendes occupies nearly half of the area of the Deep Ocean Center. It used to be a place where marine tribes coexisted. It was also created under the leadership of Akuskati, and it is a symbol of the prosperity of the sea civilization.
This place is very huge. From what I saw from a distance before, the area alone is much larger than Sun City and even Rocky. In addition, this place is built by marine life, so this area of water is naturally not limited to the flat seabed. The coral reefs extend upwards wantonly, and those giant coral pillars expand the city vertically, giving it a full sense of layering.
Built in the ocean and made of special giant corals, it looks primitive and weird, but gives Anti a cyber sci-fi feel.
One can't help but imagine the prosperous scene of the marine life that once lived and developed here.
To be precise, there is no unified ethnic group in the ocean.
The concept of "sea tribe" only came into being after Akuskati established the deep-ocean center and a large number of marine life gathered there.
The ocean is primitive and savage, and it is thanks to this predatory darkness that it has been so dominant throughout history.
Akuskati forcibly opened up the light of wisdom for the ocean, and as a congenital creature with unique advantages, he gave spiritual intelligence to the vast ocean.
Even though they are different fish and different marine creatures, they are all different and strange, but when they gather under the protection of Akuskati, they recognize their own and each other's identities.
This is the sea people.
Although Momonet would contemptuously call this concept of banding together for warmth "seafood".
Regarding the records of the sea people, the information that can be found on the human side is close to zero.
Anti didn't ask about the sanctuary, and at least in the homework he did before coming to the Sera Kingdom and the Dream Sea, all the information only stayed at the level of "the existence of advanced intelligent life in the sea."
There is absolutely no information about the vast ocean civilization that is deep in the ocean.
The main enemy of the sea people back then was the predatory darkness, and it had nothing to do with the conquests on the continent.
Of course, just because it’s not a big deal doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
Because Lindsay is here.
Lindsay guards the abyss in the Dream Sea, and Akuskati also devotes a lot of energy to fighting the abyss. The Deep Ocean Center was originally established to concentrate forces to suppress the abyss. Now that the abyss is spreading, Lindsay, who guards the abyss, is also eroded and infected by the abyss like the Deep Ocean Center.
It is obvious that the sea people have had basic contact with humans, at least with Lindsay.
The true identities of the forty-four pillar gods are not all clear, and Anti does not know where the water power that Lindsay obtained came from.
But he couldn't help but speculate.
Perhaps Lindsay's water power was obtained through a peaceful transaction. In exchange for guarding the abyss, Akuskati helped Lindsay and even mankind.
He can only slowly find out the truth of the specific history here.
Anti walked in this coral city under the sea.
There are quite a lot of things going on here.
But as Mormonai said, most of them have gone mad under the erosion of the abyss.
Once they get close, those crazy seafood will chase Antio relentlessly.
The hatred was so far-reaching that after testing, if Anti quickly left their sight, they would go crazy for a while before calming down.
At the same time, Anti also recorded the species of organisms.
Most of the things on the outskirts of the city are those ugly fishmen, but the seafood you find deeper in the city mostly resembles the original appearance of marine life, including various fish, crustaceans, shellfish, etc. The sense of horror that is forcibly mixed with human features is also much less.
It can be realized that those fishmen may have a special origin, perhaps related to humans, and are not simply sea creatures transformed from marine life.
Except for the occasional tests that Anti conducted with caution, all the seafood that met him and took the initiative to attack were dealt with by him neatly and efficiently.
Just as he concluded.
Killing people all the way, the Big Mouth ate all the way. After strengthening, the Big Mouth seemed to have a larger capacity. The strong hunger only filled up three or four points along the way. Fortunately, Anti was used to opening his Big Mouth to go hungry, so it didn't cause any trouble.
At worst, let it eat whatever it wants in this seafood city.
Seafood buffet opportunity for a good reason.
Anti dealt with another batch of seafood and took the time to look for other people who might have fallen here.
Just as Anti was stringing a group of slender fish together on a sterile cane and feeding them to the big mouth.
Snapped!
A loud noise suddenly came from a distance, and Anti saw a purple light blooming among the coral reefs, like a small sun.
A figure flew out in the light, and then fell near Anti, appearing to have been knocked away.
After a moment's thought, Anti rushed towards the direction where the figure fell.
The light contained an explosive force that could not be underestimated. I wonder if the thing that was hit by it is still alive.
But when Anti got there, it seemed that he was not the only one attracted there.
In a pit created by something, many seafood gathered here, fighting and eating each other, making ferocious noises, making it difficult for Anti to see the specific situation in the pit at once.
Got to clean this place up first.
When Anti was thinking this, a shadow emerged from the group of crazy seafood fighting each other, followed by several cold rays of light, and large pieces of seafood were cut into pieces.
That figure seemed to be a murloc as well, but was somewhat different from the previous identical murlocs. Anti was standing relatively far to the side. After killing the murloc, he started to eat the meat around him, so he couldn't see clearly what it was.
When Anti got closer, the other party noticed it and slowly turned his head to look at Anti, holding a piece of white meat in his mouth.
That face looks like a swordfish?
Like the merman, he has a human-like facial contour that seems to have been forcibly blended together.
The swordfish man's sharp and slender front snout was broken off and held in its hand. This was the weapon it had just used to kill countless seafood.
"Uh...kill..." It muttered, released the white meat in its mouth, and made a sword-drawing gesture towards Anti.
So stylish...
As soon as Anti had this thought, the other party suddenly attacked, and the sharp sword slashed out and swept towards Anti's neck.
The Bu Sheng staff immediately stood up to block the opponent's attack.
After his sword was blocked, the Swordfish Man leaped back to create some distance, then moved quickly, leaving a trail of afterimages, and launched continuous attacks on Anti from all directions.
But Anti stood still without moving, and used his cane to transform into a sword to block and parry the opponent's attacks impenetrably, blocking all of the opponent's attacks.
It must be very fast in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is still a bit slow for Anti.
The other hand calmly took out the Unbending Curved Blade.
After the Swordfish Man was blocked by Anti again, he quickly turned back and swung his sword with great force, but Anti's curved knife had been waiting for a long time.
Ding!
The blade unfolded and collided with it precisely, dissolving all the force and rebounding.
The Swordfish Man was paralyzed and exhausted, and his body, while charging, swept past Anti's side due to inertia and hit a coral building.
Boom!
The swordfish man staggered to his feet, but Anti came to it and grabbed the remaining part of its front snout as a handle. He turned its face towards him, bent the knife and the cane and stabbed it into its eyes from both sides, then pierced it out from the opposite side of the head, and then tore it up with force, directly removing its fish head.
After leaving the fish head to Big Mouth, Anti walked towards the place where he had sensed the fresh breath during the brief battle just now.
After passing a coral, Anti saw a brightly colored existence in the gap between the coral buildings.
A large mantis shrimp with an emerald green carapace.
"Are you still chasing us? You lunatics!" The large mantis shrimp's carapace was dented and blood was constantly oozing out of it. It was obviously seriously injured. But after hearing the sound of Anti approaching, it still shouted angrily and turned around.
But when it turned around and saw Anti, its black eyes were stunned: "Are you... a normal human?"
"It's really not easy to find normal seafood here." Anti sighed and stretched out his hand to say hello.
