Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 357 Fishing for a Giant Kun from a Canoe

Deep within the Earth's core, a group of dreamy, pale blue fluorescent sea butterflies gathered together and transformed once again into a six- or seven-hundred-meter-long Kun.

Control all phenomena, large and small as you please.

The Myriad-Faced Kun can stretch for thousands of meters or shrink to a scale of a hundred meters, while a size of six or seven hundred meters is the most moderate choice.

Advance to attack, retreat to defend.

It transformed into a butterfly and searched for a long time in the seabed, but still could not find the source of that delicious and extremely tempting power of the Sanctuary, which made it extremely frustrated.

While feeling a hundred claws robbing in my heart...
And it was filled with intense resentment!

It has been a long time since any other Sanctuary-level creatures have appeared on this planet, but now it has discovered one, which seems to be a newly ascended Sanctuary creature that it has just reached.

This is the best supplement!

Simply by consuming it, one can inherit the essence of its newly born Sanctuary skills, and at the same time seize its destiny, obtaining a perfect Sanctuary "Form," adding another collectible to the myriad forms.

There will be plenty of fun to come.

Moreover, how could a creature that has just entered the Holy Temple level compare to me in terms of combat power?
How could we let such an opportunity slip by?

It did not give up.

If it weren't for the need to guard the source of the inexhaustible water, it might have tried to leave the earth's core and continue its search. But for now, it still has a chance. It remains still, entering a period of wisdom under the rule of fate, and begins to carefully feel the ripples of destiny.

The river of fate flows on, as still as an ancient well.

……

……

……

The sun shoots through the deeper layers of soil beneath the seabed.

Occasionally, Shi Ming could still find the remains of some terrestrial creatures buried in the soil. They were like sleeping time capsules, telling future generations that the earth was once their domain.

He also discovered large quantities of coal.

"MOSS, precise navigation, head to the place where we last encountered the giant Kun."

"Okay, master."

After activating true "intelligent driving," he no longer needed to expend energy on the boat. Instead, he calmed down and sat steadily inside the relatively cramped interior of the Sunshot, suppressing his mental energy and completely concealing all his presence.

Soon, the shooting down of the sun stopped.

He knew he had arrived at his destination.

He waited for a long time, 1000 meters below the seabed, without any external attacks or sensing anything unusual.

This indicates that Wanxiang Kun has not yet detected the Sun Shooting on the seabed, while Shi Ming's quietly dissipated spiritual power can sense that a powerful creature is resting on the seabed 1000 meters above the ground.

"Did they really not discover it, or are they pretending not to?"

"You're not fishing like me, are you?"

None of this matters.

Shi Ming was a fisherman,
It's also fish bait.

Similarly, it can also be portrayed as a "fish," a humanoid fish that has just ascended to the sanctuary, with its fangs concealed.

The sun slowly rose.

It's like fish seeing food and frantically trying to get a bite.

Seeing that Wanxiang Kun did not react, Shi Ming's spiritual power became even more unrestrained. He no longer kept a low profile, and a large amount of spiritual power overflowed. Taking advantage of this time, he explored everything unusual around Wanxiang Kun and searched for any possible strange objects.

When spiritual power reaches a place, it is as if the person is there in person.

This is a truly dreamlike place.

A pale blue light swirled around the translucent body of the Myriad Manifestations Kun, and every now and then a tiny butterfly would fly out, making the surface of the Myriad Manifestations Kun even more dreamlike and untouched by any dust. These butterflies, which were extremely small compared to the Myriad Manifestations Kun, could even penetrate its body and fly into its interior, as if they had opened up "a myriad worlds like the sea".

"A semi-illusory state?" "Nanming Illusionary Dream."

At this moment, the Kun swims on the edge of reality and illusion, and can weaken all physical attacks by 80%. Of course, it is also illusory and cannot use any physical attacks.

Shi Ming's spiritual power swept across the surface of the Kun's body.

It still didn't react at all.

"They're quite good at pretending."

Shi Ming quickly scanned the area with his spiritual power but found nothing unusual. His Eye of Destiny also gave no clues, only discovering that the concentration of sea crystals in the seawater at the junction of illusion and reality inside the Kun's body was unusually high, comparable to the seawater sample provided by Yu the Great.

That must be the unusual thing.

Wanxiang Kun seems a little tired from being still.

It moved.

Is it about to bite the bait?

……

……

……

Wanxiang Kun felt the ripples of fate.

It's like a drop of water falling onto a calm, still lake. Although it's just a tiny drop, it breaks the tranquility of the entire lake. Tiny ripples spread out from where the drop fell, expanding and spreading layer by layer.

It filled the entire lake surface, then began to shrink back.

Hehe, this little thing has been staying underground, tentatively exploring, seemingly too afraid to come out. What is it looking for?
Wanxiang Kun certainly knew what it was looking for.

The water never ceases to flow.

It swayed gently, a wondrous source of water emerging from the ethereal veil, half-hidden like a pipa player, revealing its most exquisite essence.

It seems to be saying,
Come on, I'm right here.

Come on up!
The Myriad Manifestations Kun accumulates the power of destiny. Once its prey can no longer restrain itself and reveals itself on the ground, the "Myriad Manifestations Sanctuary," powerful enough to send enemies at the Sanctuary level into their dreams, will descend directly. A little creature that has just entered the Sanctuary will inevitably surrender its destiny and fall into the net of fate.

For sea creatures or awakened beings with the attribute of fate, the abstract concept of fate can be likened to three more easily understood substances.

A cycle that repeats itself endlessly, a wheel that connects beginning and end.

Moving ever onward, the river of destiny flows with numerous tributaries.

Unable to escape the intricate web of cause and effect.

What Wanxiang Kun loves most is the web of cause and effect. It revels in seeing all living beings struggling on the web, unable to escape their fate. For example, on that ship a few days ago, an eight-year-old human child almost escaped the destiny it had woven. This is something it, as the director, cannot allow.

So on that day, it took matters into its own hands, usurping the fate of the human child and letting the story unfold according to its predetermined ending.

Ultimately, amidst suffering and repentance, it experienced the most extreme human emotions and gained immense satisfaction.

Today is no different.
It will use the ceaseless water as bait to lure the hesitant little creature forward, and at its most delighted moment, it will bring an O. Henry-esque ending to the story.

It, the "director" of fate, the weaver, judge, and controller of destiny, will give birth to new art.

……

Shi Ming sensed the aura of the strange object.

The reminder of the Eye of Fate appeared before it.

This is the most advanced artifact the Eye of Destiny has ever seen since its awakening! Absolutely magnificent!

The Unceasing Water

[The source of the ever-flowing sea, the unending origin of the ocean, the beginning of the boundless sea, and also the end of maritime disasters.]
