Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 30 The Cursing Beast

"Is this the Endless Sea?" Chu Qiuci sighed as he looked at the endless sea in front of him.

"This is the edge of the Endless Sea." Jing Hong looked at the sea with a serious expression and said, "The real danger lies within."

Qiu Ci nodded and directly called up the system, letting it scan the sea area in real time. He then patted the person beside him and said, "Let's go, little socially anxious kid. Remember to keep up and don't stray too far from me."

Jing Hong: “…” No, now he doesn’t even have a name?
The two of them set out towards the Endless Sea. Along the way, there was complete silence save for the roar of the waves below. It seemed this place was indeed a dangerous place, where not even a single living thing could be encountered. And whether it was an illusion or not, Qiu Ci felt that the deeper he went, the quieter it became, even the sea itself seemed to have calmed down considerably.

They flew like this for nearly two hours. With the speed of their swords, they should have crossed the ordinary ocean long ago, but there was still only a vast expanse of blue in front of them, as if the sea had no end.

Looking from a distance, there is only layers of white mist surrounding the sea.

and many more!

"Is the fog getting thicker?" Qiu Ci stopped and asked.

Jing Hong paused, turned his head and looked around, agreeing, "It's indeed bigger. If it continues like this, we won't be able to tell where we are in a while."

Qiu Ci frowned, decided to play it safe, and said directly in his mind, "System, detect the ingredients."

[Test results: Main ingredients: H2O, water vapor, non-toxic! ]

"Water vapor?!" Qiu Ci was stunned. Isn't it fog?
These two are different. Water vapor is the result of water sublimating when heated to its boiling point, while fog is the result of air condensing when it gets cold. The only way such a large area of water vapor could appear here is...

She quickly made hand gestures, and instantly condensed her energy into ice, creating a defensive barrier around the two of them.

Jing Hong was frozen by the sudden erection of the ice barrier and looked at Qiu Ci in confusion, "Senior, this is..."

"There should be a big thing up ahead," she explained casually, "and it should be the kind that spews fire."

Jing Hong immediately became alert, summoned his magic sword, and took out two magic talismans.

The two of them continued to fly forward, and sure enough, in less than half a minute, the surroundings suddenly became hot, and even the calm sea surface began to gurgle with bubbles. There was a red object flowing under the water, as if something had boiled the entire sea surface.

The fog around them was getting thicker and thicker, with visibility less than half a meter. The two could only release their spiritual sense and continue to move forward. They became more alert in their hearts. What was in front of them that could burn the surrounding sea like this?
The two were about to move forward when they suddenly heard a loud splashing sound, like something breaking through the water, and then they felt a burning sensation behind them.

"Be careful!" Almost as a conditioned reflex, Qiu Ci pulled the socially anxious Jing and quickly retreated hundreds of meters.

There were several loud rumbling noises.

They saw a splash of water several feet high at the place where they had just stopped, and huge stone pillars that seemed to be made of lava were inserted straight into the water.

The two had no time to be shocked.

A splashing sound rang out from all directions, and red lights lit up one after another. Countless lava spikes broke through the water, surrounding the two of them in the middle, like thousands of swords shooting at them at the same time.

The spikes were huge, each one was like a stone pillar, with a scorching heat that seemed to melt a person.

Just as Qiu Ci was about to cast a spell, the system that had been resting on her shoulder suddenly issued a sharp alarm.

[Beep beep! Alarm, alarm! A living being has been detected approaching. Signs of large life have been detected!]

"What is that?" Qiu Ci was stunned.

[Master, master, something big, something really big, right under the water!]

"What?" Before they could ask, the lava spikes were already shot towards them.

"Unparalleled sword formation, activate!" She Kong Jing reacted quickly. He waved the magic sword in his hand and instantly summoned thousands of magic swords. They appeared densely around him. The sword tip turned and strangled the flying lava spikes.

There was a loud rumbling sound, and the sharp sword energy immediately broke through the fog in the sky, hitting the lava spikes directly, instantly shattering several of them. However, there were too many spikes, almost an all-round saturation attack, and the sword energy was simply unable to block it all.

Qiu Ci made a quick decision, picked up the social anxiety Jing, and flew out directly from the broken hole, avoiding the overwhelming lava spikes.

The spikes missed the target and splashed a large amount of water on the sea surface like dumplings falling into the water. However, the next moment, it suddenly turned around and rushed out of the water again, facing the two people, as if it had eyes.

She was about to fight back when the social anxiety-ridden Jing next to her suddenly exclaimed, "What...what is that?!"

Qiu Ci looked back, and the next moment his eyes widened. The sword energy had just dispersed the surrounding steam, completely exposing the object above the sea. It was a monster as tall as a mountain, its body burning with fiery red lava, like an erupting active volcano.

But it was a creature, a huge creature that could stand directly in the deep sea. Only half of its head emerged from the sea. The objects flowing like lava that they had seen along the way were all part of its body.

It seemed to be very angry at the two people who broke into its territory. It opened its big mouth with billowing smoke and roared at them.

There was no sound coming from their ears, it was very strange, like some frequency that they could not hear, but they could see the sound waves spreading out layer by layer, and the sea surface around them was surging violently, which could instantly set off layers of tsunamis.

【Master, it's scolding you! 】

The system suddenly spoke angrily, and the entire small ball of light echoed with a hissing sound.

"Can you understand what it says?" Qiu Ci asked as he took the socially anxious Jing to avoid the attack of the behemoth.

[Yes, its sound is below 20Hz and cannot be heard by human ears, but the system can analyze it.]

"What is it saying?" The ability to speak proves that it can communicate.

[It said: Damn traitors, damned betrayers, a bunch of idiots who deserve a bad death, get out! Leave my waters!]

"Wow~~ You're cursing quite dirty."

"Senior Chu!" Just as he was thinking, the socially anxious Jing, who had been carried, suddenly pointed to the right and said excitedly, "I feel that call again. It's right in front of us, underwater!"

Found it so quickly?!

roar~~~
The giant beast opened its mouth again and set off tsunamis.

Qiu Ci didn't care whether they communicated or not, and waved his hand and said something to the giant beast.

"Stop cursing! Let's go now!"

After saying that, he quickened his pace and headed quickly in the direction that the social phobia scene pointed.

The giant beast suddenly paused, as if shocked by her answer. Even the sky full of lava spikes stopped for a moment. Seeing that the two were about to leave, it seemed to wake up, and its huge body suddenly twisted and chased in the direction of the two. The entire sea surface instantly boiled up, and there was an earthquake and tsunami.

What the hell!

Still chasing! Why are you so angry?
[Master, that wildfire will keep you waiting! ]

What the hell are you waiting for? Why don’t you run away!
Qiu Ci accelerated again and rushed towards his destination.
