Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

Beidou jumped onto the deck and wiped the water off his face.

She tossed her hair and immediately notified the ship's first mate to go on high alert.

"You fought it?"

Ningguang walked over and asked.

"Ah."

"Is it a sea snake, a whale, or some other sea creature?"

"That guy isn't a whale, but it should be the one you're looking for."

"How strong are you?"

"It's alright, but I feel it's still in its growth stage and has great potential."

"So you fight it because you feel it's untamable?"

Ningguang did not blame Beidou for acting on his own initiative; she knew that the latter was not the kind of person who acted solely on impulse.

Beidou shrugged: "Any creature can be tamed, as long as you find the right method. The reason I fought it wasn't because of that. It killed the members of the treasure-hunting group before. Although those guys were indeed despicable, it also shows that it has murderous intent towards humans."

"Unless it is truly intelligent enough to distinguish between good and evil, your chances of getting close to it by expressing goodwill are slim. This is the ocean, all-encompassing, and far more complex than things on land."

Having traveled all over the country for so many years, Beidou has always been dealing with the ocean, and she has seen too many things in it.

The story of sea monsters saving people may sound beautiful, but reality is often cruel.

Ultimately, people who are not of the same species can never fully understand each other, and even people of the same species may not be able to understand each other.

No one knows what Su Zhe was thinking back then, and Beidou would not allow the lives of the people on its ship, including Ningguang, to be threatened because of uncertain factors.

Therefore, choosing the simplest and most effective method is naturally the best.

The word "taming" often encompasses a variety of methods.

For example... beat them until they are tamed.

"Perhaps you are right."

Ningguang remained noncommittal; Beidou certainly knew more about the affairs of the ocean than she did.

Even so, she still harbored a sliver of hope.

As a businesswoman, she shouldn't have done that.

A lucky victory cannot bring long-term benefits, but if the sea monster she is looking for has really developed human-like qualities, then the next steps will be much easier.

Fortunately, Beidou and the other side have not reached the point of fighting to the death. Since both sides have chosen to back down, there is a possibility of 'peace talks'.

This potential, whether quantified in terms of Mora or its benefits to Liyue, is quite considerable.

This is a risky deal worth taking.

"Go down and investigate the shipwreck first, Beidou. I'll be counting on you for the rest."

Ningguang was delighted by Su Zhe's appearance, but she also had to consider the safety of the reconnaissance mission.

However, with Beidou around and the skilled Qianyan Army she brought, things shouldn't go wrong if we're careful.

In fact, Su Zhe had no designs on them whatsoever, and it was even less likely that he would launch a preemptive attack.

After retreating and taking a stroll, he returned. Considering that Beidou's 'aggro range' was too large, he kept a close eye on the movements on the ship from a distance. He watched as Beidou and the other two went into the sea to begin their exploration.

In less than an hour, Beidou located the site of the ruins.

"This is going to be interesting."

Su Zhe lay leisurely on the seabed, quietly waiting for a scene of snipe and clam fighting.

Chapter 14 Giant Squid

"I never expected there to be such a large ruin here."

Looking out from beneath the sea, the Big Dipper reveals ruins and broken walls everywhere, covered in dust.

Green algae climbed all over the stone walls, and combined with the scenes in the ruins, they exuded a sense of vicissitudes accumulated over time.

It looks like it's been around for quite a few years.

The weather is nice today, and the sun is shining brightly.

However, at a depth of fifty or sixty meters, the colors that make up light are mostly blue and green.

The surroundings were shrouded in a dim, greenish light. She and the other two Thousand Rock soldiers who came down could only use a special luminous stone for illumination, but the visibility was still low.

Beidou gestured for them to be careful.

In the distance, Su Zhe remained hidden, observing everything.

"If a traveler came to a place like this, they would probably look for the treasure chest first."

He thought to himself with a touch of wicked humor.

The blond girl and emergency food in the game are a different story in this place. They won't stop until they've thoroughly searched the ruins.

However, Beidou was clearly not interested in ordinary treasure chests; her goal was to find the shipwreck.

After all, this is the sunken ship of one of Liyue's ten richest men, so it's not surprising that it contains countless treasures.

But the ruins are very large, and a year has passed. We don't know what happened when the ship sank, and it may have broken into countless pieces.

Even for an experienced expert like Beidou, finding it is not easy.

"They're really careful."

Su Zhe sensed the movement of Beidou and found that the woman was moving very slowly, steadily, and her trajectory was around the central area.

This proves that Beidou also noticed the unusual nature of the ruins.

That's better, so Su Zhe doesn't have to spend time reminding him.

He wanted to see the two sides fight each other, not for Beidou to die here.

"If there really was a ship, it would most likely be in the middle of the ruins."

Su Zhe closed his eyes and waited.

In this silent sea, only loneliness is ever-present.

He gradually got used to this pace of life.

After waiting for a long time, a wisp of energy suddenly surged from the water. Su Zhe opened his eyes and saw a shard of ice shooting out from the middle of the ruins.

The direction those ice spikes were shooting was the location of a Thousand Rock Army soldier. Su Zhe couldn't see his face clearly, but he could sense the panicked movements of his hands and feet.

Normally, all living beings in the world are capable of conveying emotions.

Anger, joy, fear, and so on, all stemmed from an affinity for the water element. Su Zhe sensed the spreading fear emanating from that Qianyan soldier.

However, the Thousand Rock Army is well-trained, especially those brought by Ningguang, whose strength is even more formidable.

Although they were not as brave as they were when facing the demon god more than two thousand years ago, they were not so frightened as to lose their composure at the sight of a sea beast.

After the initial fear subsided, the Thousand Rock soldier reacted immediately, wielding his spear to shatter the ice spikes aimed at him.

After Beidou noticed the situation, she rushed over. Qianyanjun pointed down, and when she looked down, she was stunned.

Another Thousand Rock Army soldier arrived and pointed to a spot in the middle of the ruins, where a large amount of rubble was piled up and the outline of a sunken ship could be vaguely seen.

"Go up!"

Beidou immediately waved his arm.

The two Thousand Rock soldiers exchanged a glance, nodded, and quickly swam towards the shore.

But the underwater monsters wouldn't let them off easily. Another wave of ice spikes flew in, but this time Beidou blocked them all.

The Dragon King did not follow the Thousand Rock Army up, but instead turned around and rushed down into the ruins.

"I knew you'd play."

Su Zhe was not surprised at all. Judging from his previous encounter with Beidou, this woman was both passionate and rational. She would choose to cover the rear for Qianyan Army and, if the situation allowed, investigate the truth about that thing at the bottom of the sea.

Boom! —

An explosion rang out from the ruins.

Beidou held her sword with both hands, and lightning split open a body of water, temporarily making her movements more agile.

Chapter 14 Giant Squid >>

Before her lay a gigantic sea beast.

Giant squid!

As someone who spends most of his time at sea, Beidou has naturally heard of this sea creature and has even encountered it once.

But that giant squid was only about ten meters long, while this one is over fifteen meters long.

Moreover, according to her understanding, giant squid generally live in the deep sea at depths of several hundred meters.

Something's not right.

After a brief exchange, Beidou raised an eyebrow.

The ominous aura emanating from the other party made her very uncomfortable. She had seen this kind of power before; it was a dark, cursed power, most commonly found in those terrifying sea beasts.

Many of the sea monsters she had fought in the past were also tainted by this power.

But this giant squid possesses particularly formidable power.

Without a second thought, Beidou charged forward with his sword.

The greatsword crackled with purple lightning, its power astonishing. But when the giant squid's tentacles lashed out, they contained powerful frost energy. Several tentacles attacked simultaneously, their speed swift and ferocious, dazzling the eye.

Bang bang bang bang!

Beidou swung his sword just as quickly, each strike colliding head-on with the giant squid's tentacles.

Lightning and ice, two forces colliding, the entanglement between the elements made the scene extremely chaotic.

boom!

Patches of icy mist were swept out by the seawater and spread throughout the ruins.

"That's amazing, to be able to perform like that underwater."
