"Are you looking for something? Or for sea monsters?"

"I want it all."

Ningguang smiled.

Sea creatures were, of course, her target for this trip. As for the other matter, she hadn't expected it to happen so coincidentally.

“A year ago, a shipwreck occurred here. The cause was never clearly investigated until recently when some clues have emerged.”

"Is it that wealthy businessman surnamed Liu from Liyue?"

"That's right, you should know him. That guy's ship could even take on a sea monster head-on."

There are many merchants in Liyue, but those who stand out are often renowned figures.

Chapter 12 Shipwreck and Treasure >>

Ningguang may be the best among them, but that doesn't mean the others aren't excellent.

Take this Liu family for example. Their wealth would easily rank them among the top ten in Liyue. When he got into trouble, the whole of Liyue was thrown into turmoil.

Most people assumed it was the work of pirates or an assassination attempt, but Ningguang's investigation revealed otherwise.

As for the reason, no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find it.

Until recently, some news emerged. Although it was just speculation, based on the sightings of sea monsters, she was 60% confident that she could find the ship that sank years ago in this area.

"I don't mean to discourage you, but a lot can happen in a year on this vast ocean."

Beidou shrugged.

"Even if the incident happened here, we might not be able to find it here. And that sea beast that looks like a baby whale, it might be troublesome if you want to tame it. Those treasure-hunting groups were killed by it."

"I know, but you should always try, shouldn't you?"

Ningguang said with a smile.

"Just treat it as an investment; there will always be gains and losses. But until the very last moment, who knows what the outcome will be?"

"Anyway, it's none of my business... huh?"

Beidou raised his hand, signaling Ningguang not to speak yet.

She walked to the edge of the deck, peered out slightly, and then waved to the two people who were about to disembark, stopping them from doing so.

Ningguang frowned and pointed to the sea.

Beidou nodded.

"wait for me."

She went into the cabin and came out a short while later, now wearing a suit that was more suitable for diving.

"This one is on me."

Ningguang shoved two bottles of medicine into her hands.

Underwater breathing agents are expensive, and since Ningguang was the one who planned this, as an investor, she naturally had to cover the cost.

Beidou drank the medicine, then turned and jumped into the sea.

As the saying goes, skill breeds daring, and the title of Dragon King Beidou is not just for show. Even without the Eye of God, she still managed to kill Haishan.

Although those who possess the Eye of God are very powerful, those who do not are not necessarily weak.

The land of Liyue alone is all-encompassing, with countless powerful sects and unique skills, and many martial arts masters are stronger than those who possess the Vision.

Beidou is highly skilled in martial arts and knows the sea better than the land. With the aid of the Divine Eye, ordinary sea beasts are no match for her.

...

Beneath the sea surface, Su Zhe used his sensory abilities to eavesdrop on Bei Dou and the others' conversations through the water.

He knew roughly what had happened.

Although he knew Liyue would investigate him, he didn't expect Ningguang to come in person.

I already experienced how formidable this woman was back in the game.

Yes, whether as a player or as an Oser.

Therefore, he simply did not want to personally experience the power of 'the heavens and the myriad phenomena'.

"However, with Ningguang and Beidou around, they might be able to deal with that guy in the ruins."

Su Zhe pondered to himself.

He had originally planned to leave, but when these two women arrived, he didn't want to go anymore.

I'll sneak over there once they start fighting.

Since that sea monster is a wooden stake, even if Beidou and Ningguang have difficulty moving in the water, they still have a chance of winning.

If the sea monster is defeated and escapes, he might be able to devour it.

Moreover, he loves watching women fight.

"Ok?"

As he pondered, Su Zhe became alert and subconsciously flicked his tail fin.

Just then, out of the corner of my eye, a powerful bolt of lightning flashed past!

...

Chapter 13 Kyogre vs. Hokuto

Hiss~

The power of lightning tore through the accumulated seawater and shot towards Su Zhe.

By the time he turned around and realized what was happening, it was too late to dodge. He could only hastily control the water element to condense into a shield to block the attack.

But the power of the Big Dipper is so great that even deep in the ocean, the force of this sword strike is enough to easily break through the water shield.

puff~

The violent lightning elemental power left a wound on Su Zhe's body, and his hard skin was pierced through in one blow.

It's hard to imagine that if this had happened on land, Su Zhe would probably have become the ingredients for a spicy fish head dish.

"what?"

A hint of surprise flashed through Beidou's mind.

Her sneak attack only caused such a small wound.

"Really hard."

Generally, marine mammals with scales are stronger than those without scales.

The larger the sea monster, the stronger its outer layer of protection may not be. The reason why it is not a big deal when those giant monsters are injured is because their size makes the wounds small and have little impact.

If it's large and has a tough outer skin, then that body alone is the most terrifying weapon.

This sea monster is extremely rare; even the sea mountain she encountered before was not as tough as this huge creature in front of her.

"It's not a whale, but it looks a lot like one... It seems to be quite intelligent, interesting."

Beidou had hoped to launch a sneak attack and unleash a combo to subdue the opponent, but now it seems that hope is dashed.

But that's okay. The ocean is a place where surprises and challenges are never lacking.

At this moment, her gaze sharpened, and powerful lightning energy reappeared. A purple light flashed beneath her feet, and she suddenly increased her speed underwater by using the power of lightning.

Su Zhe swung his pectoral fin fan forward, meeting Beidou's greatsword head-on. This attack was primarily offensive, while Beidou focused on defense. He was not injured, but neither was he able to harm Beidou.

The Dragon King was surprised by the power Su Zhe unleashed, but her aura was not weak at all, and a wild smile even appeared on her lips.

She has never been afraid of the sea, battles, obstacles, or challenges.

In fact, she enjoys pursuing these things the most.

With a sharp weapon in the body, the murderous heart starts from the beginning.

Beidou possesses immense power, which she cannot unleash at will in ordinary times. Unlike Ningguang, she is not adept at strategy and prefers to do business and make money.

Compared to those, Beidou prefers challenges full of danger, honing itself in battle, and then becoming stronger.

Therefore, the sea is her battlefield.

"—Drink up!"

Beidou roared in his heart, and the Eye of God shone with dazzling purple light. Lightning flashed, and his power surged, forcefully repelling Su Zhe's strike.

Then lightning erupted beneath him, surging forth with tremendous force as he slashed out.

Su Zhe immediately condensed water elements and shot out a wave of water.

Boom! —

Water and lightning collide.

Under normal circumstances, Su Zhe's power is far inferior to that of Beidou.

But this is the ocean, and a deep-water area, which greatly reduced BeiDou's capabilities, which is why they barely managed to draw.

After a brief exchange, Su Zhe began to consider retreating, knowing full well that Beidou hadn't used its full strength.

Moreover, there is no benefit in fighting the other side here.

Thinking of this, he forcefully swung his tail fin, swatting away Beidou, who was preparing to pursue him, and then burst into full-speed retreat.

At its speed of 40 knots, Beidou simply cannot catch up.

"How come I never noticed how crazy this woman was before?"

Although he almost never uses Beidou when playing games, he is still quite familiar with its settings.

However, this is no longer a game.

Chapter 13 Kyogre vs. Beidou >>

A person who loves to conquer the sea, if he doesn't have a bit of madness and a warlike streak in his heart, probably wouldn't be able to become the Dragon King that the world reveres.
