Since leaving Primia, the Haisi cells in her body have been constantly warning Elena that she is now gradually heading towards the abyss.
But her belief as a judge sustained her on; even if death was inevitable, the little bird would fall in the process of spreading its wings and soaring.
The Tide Hunters have completely become sea-like and lost their minds, which is very likely to hinder Nearl and the others' subsequent actions.
Rather than adding to Nearl's burden by depriving her of her combat abilities, it's better to create an excellent opportunity for her!
Elena's greyish-white pupils were fixed on the Tidehunter Knight, the casting unit in her hand cannon began to operate at overload, and her finger was on the trigger.
"Elena!!!"
As Lin Guang broke through the ice, she shouted, and her wings of light instantly bloomed, attempting to rescue Eleanor from the lances of the Tidehunter Knights.
But by then it was too late for her, and she no longer needed to.
Because someone is faster than her.
bang——
A series of sonic booms came from the sky, and crimson arcs of light arrived above their heads in the blink of an eye.
The next moment, a dark green longsword fell like a meteor, pinning the Tidehunter Knight who was charging towards Elene to the ground.
The smaller version of the Crimson Comet landed in front of them, its sharp, silvery-white scales gradually fading away, and Zhou Si smiled at Elena, who was holding a gun behind her.
"I'm not late, am I?"
At this moment, Elena's tense nerves finally relaxed. Her fear of death was dispelled by Zhou Si's words, and a genuine smile appeared on her usually stern face.
"Leave the rest to me. I've already sent the Doctor to Shuiyue and the others."
Zhou Si tossed a secret medicine to Elena, and the little bird swallowed it without hesitation, her condition visibly beginning to recover.
"Let's go, Nearl."
Before leaving, Elena glanced back in Zhou Si's direction, looking at the figure with gun wings on its back, and felt a mix of indescribable emotions.
The Tidehunter Knight, pierced by the longsword, had already stood up. The sword was still embedded in its chest, now covered by newly grown flesh. It was indifferent to Elene's departure.
Because there are more worthy targets to hunt in front of it.
Zhou Si looked at the Hunter of the Tide Knights and shook the shield in his hand in a provocative gesture.
Although he greatly admired the deeds of the Tidehunter Knight, the knight at this time was nothing more than a walking corpse transformed by the sea; that knight had long since died on his way to charge towards the sea.
Moreover, he had been tormented by the Knights when he fought Watermoon Rogue, so Zhou Si was now harboring some desire for revenge.
Although the Tide Rider had long lost consciousness, it could still sense that the sea creature in front of it was provoking it. Its voice became passionate and angry again, and its tall body began to charge again, but this time it was even more ferocious and faster!
Zhou Si stood motionless, letting the frost climb onto his body. The ice of the Tide Hunter Knight was still inferior to that of the Twin Dragon. Given his cold adaptability from rolling around naked on the ice field, he probably wouldn't even feel this bit of cold.
The knight's charge arrived in the blink of an eye, his tall body slamming into the shield in Zhou Si's hand with the momentum of the charge.
But Zhou Si's right hand remained motionless, and his legs were firmly nailed to the ground like steel bars.
However, the lance in the hands of the Tide Hunter Knight developed slight cracks after such a fierce collision.
Zhou Si raised his left hand, and the hunting horn from the Hunter's Book instantly appeared in his hand. The advantage of its high stats was on full display at this moment. It wasn't long ago that Zhou Si realized that his fighting style didn't need to be limited to a certain form.
The physical limitations that restrict other hunters are no problem for him at all. Not to mention shield and hunting horn, even exaggerated actions like dual-wielding greatswords are easy for him.
With the addition of the predator's abilities, as long as Zhou Si continues to eat and improve his weapon skills, he will no longer have any weaknesses.
The azure hunting horn slammed the Tidehunter Knight directly into the ground, creating a large crater in the moving city. However, the knight's vitality was truly tenacious; the Sealing Cells gave it unparalleled endurance, which was why it could continue hunting Sealings.
Even so, it will obviously take some time for the knight, whose body has been smashed flat, to regain his mobility.
After retrieving the hunting whistle from the Hunter's Book, Zhou Si drew the sword from the knight's body.
He didn't intend to kill the Tidehunter Knight here; keeping it around to cause trouble for the Deep Sea Church would be perfectly fine.
I should go find the professors.
Back in front of the church, Zhou Si saw from afar that the Doctor was talking to Bishop Cicero, and the Doctor and the hunters around him did not look too good.
Zhou Si walked over to Alini and poked the little bird on the shoulder.
"What's the situation now? Is there any provincial-level payment?"
The little bird instinctively turned its head away, then met Zhou Si's gaze, and immediately turned its head away again.
"That guy doesn't know where the Deep Sea Church might move to, or rather, there are just too many places they could move to."
Cicero answered almost all of the Doctor's questions, but he couldn't determine the whereabouts of the body of Hai Si, and his reasoning was one that even the Agorians couldn't refute.
“Now, the cities of Agor in the sea have almost all become the territory of the Sea Heirs and the Deep Sea Church. Even if you find the whereabouts of that body, how will you destroy it under the protection of countless Sea Heirs?”
Everyone fell silent for a moment. It would be fine if they were on land, but even Zhou Si couldn't do it in the water.
If he had enough time to think things through, he might be able to eat and fight at the same time, but right now, what they lack most is time.
"Grandpa Cicero, are we really just going to pin our hopes on their experiments failing?"
Shuiyue looked at Bishop Cicero with some disbelief, but it simply nodded slightly; at least it had no better solution.
None of the people present could accept that they would have to pin their hopes on something as unpredictable as luck. The professor quietly slipped out from the crowd and gave Zhou Si a wink.
Zhou Si understood her meaning and left the church without making a sound.
"We must prepare for the worst."
Zhou Si nodded. The bad news was that the Origin's life force might be about to awaken, but the good news was that they still had a sliver of hope.
That was their plan from the very beginning, to make Zhou Si the only 'newborn'.
"..."
But just as Zhou Si was about to continue discussing the next steps with the doctor, he suddenly noticed that the doctor's mouth was moving constantly, but he wasn't making any sound.
The doctor quickly realized this as well.
The world seemed to be muted at that moment, all sounds fell silent, but those with Haisi cells in their bodies heard the call coming from the deep sea.
To absorb all the nutrients... needs more nutrients...
A frantic voice rang in their ears, and everyone except Doctor Nearl and Rosemary realized it.
The lifeblood of origin... has awakened!
"Zhou Si, let's go back to Rhodes Island immediately!"
"Near Light, immediately notify Kal'tsit to prepare!"
The mute button was raised again, and the doctor shouted at the top of her lungs, so that even she could hear the sound coming from the shore.
That was the sound of countless sea creatures crawling ashore. The surging 'waves' finally began to rise at this moment. Guided by the mad sea god, their target this time would not be just the ocean.
All the biomass in the entire Terra region will become nutrients for the swarms!
The hunters in the church sprang into action immediately. Saltwind City was built on the coast, and the sea would soon engulf it. They had to race against time to have any chance of surviving the waves.
The large SUV that Elena and her group drove was big enough to seat all of them, but because of that, the vehicle wasn't going very fast.
Zhou Si saw the doctoral students off to their car, but showed no intention of getting in herself.
Not far away, the sounds of fighting had resumed from where they had battled the knights; Hai Si had already entered Saltwind City.
Zhou Si raised his hand and launched a rescue missile into the sky. The dazzling red light shot straight into the sky. Sitting in the passenger seat, Elena said to Zhou Si with a serious expression.
"Hunter, you must come back alive."
They all knew very well why Zhou Si chose not to get in the car; given the speed of a large SUV, it wouldn't be long before Hai Si caught up with them.
The only person here capable of holding back the large group is Zhou Si.
Elena didn't want Zhou Si to fall here. She owed this guy too many favors these past few days, and she hoped that Zhou Si could return to Rhodes Island alive.
"Don't worry, if I can't beat them, can't I at least run away?"
Zhou Si patted the wing of the gun behind him. It would be almost impossible for Hai Si to catch up with him unless he did something stupid.
"And I even called in some help."
Zhou Si looked very confident, but the worry on Aileen's face did not fade at all.
The doctor didn't say much, but simply handed him a bright yellow stone and patted him on the shoulder.
See you at Rhodes Island.
Zhou Si smiled and nodded, then tucked the precious pure source stone into the book.
Without giving them any more time to talk, Lin Guang floored the accelerator after they were all settled, and the driving skills she had learned from a friend in the medical department came in handy.
As the vehicle drove away, Zhou Si looked at Bishop Cicero of the Deep Sea beside him. Even though Shuiyue pleaded with him, the old man still did not choose to get on the vehicle.
It clearly didn't think that Haisi wouldn't harm it.
“The Deep Sea Church has long since strayed from the right path. Their actions sadden me, so I want to use this life for one last experiment.”
As if sensing Zhou Si's confusion, Cicero explained in a calm voice, without the slightest fear of Hai Si.
"I want to see if the consciousness of an individual can shake the masses, even if only slightly."
Zhou Si remained silent. Although Cicero could not be considered a good person, his consistent adherence to his principles from beginning to end was worthy of his respect.
......
Looking at Saltwind City in the distance, Elene's face was gloomy, just like when she evacuated from Pramia last time.
Without sufficient strength, one can only sit in the car and watch.
"comet..."
Rosemary's voice suddenly rang out, and Elena subconsciously looked up at the sky.
That incredibly familiar crimson comet streaked across the sky once more, and Elena seemed to understand what Zhou Si meant by "helper."
The last time a red star fell, it brought destruction to Pramia, and now a comet is streaking across the sky again...
Elena, however, felt genuinely at ease.
Chapter 41 Ancient Dragons, Hunters, and the Sealings (3/20)
The Crimson Comet fell once more, its crimson dragon aura carrying blood flames instantly annihilating countless Sea Heirs. The terrifying shockwave crushed Saltwind City and the Sea Heirs into fragments.
Zhou Si clicked his tongue. This was the second time he had seen Huihui use this move, and it was terrifying in both its visual impact and destructive power.
The silver ancient dragon in the deep pit turned around and looked at Zhou Si triumphantly, clearly very satisfied with its attack just now.
"Huihui, are you alright?"
Zhou Si pointed to the location of the brain.
"Yeah, that guy suddenly stopped talking, so I rushed over as soon as I saw your distress signal."
Huihui's pupils were now a deep blue, like the sky, and the violent aura she had shown earlier had vanished.
"You've been a great help, Huihui. I'll treat you to something delicious when we get back."
Zhou Si patted its gun wing, and Huihui let out a happy little roar.
Even Huihui's devastating attack only slightly hindered the progress of the large group, as the endless sea creatures beneath the vast ocean continued to surge towards the shore.
They jostled and pushed their way along the ruins of Saltwind City, and within minutes, Zhou Si's vision was once again filled with an overwhelming swarm of sea creatures.
The Tidehunter Knights in the distance had long since fallen silent, and Bishop Cicero beside him had also closed his eyes.
Apart from Hai Si, there was only this man and dragon standing in front of the 'wave' in this world.
Faced with this apocalyptic scene, Zhou Si remained calm and even took out her phone to take a selfie with the large group of people behind her.
He raised his azure hunting whistle, and a stirring melody rang out from the sound hole, as buffs were applied to him one after another.
Zhou Si had become accustomed to fighting since some point in time. He swallowed the last of the super strength pills and said something to Huihui without turning his head.
"Ready to go, Huihui."
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Comet Dragon raised its proud head once more, and the red and black crystals on its body ignited with blood flames. Waves began to appear in the atmosphere, and the source stone energy within was frantically transformed into crimson dragon energy.
The silver dragon turned its ferocious spear wings around and raised them in front of its head. Dragon energy wrapped in blood flames flowed through the gaps in the silver scales, condensing and amplifying on the wingtips.
Meanwhile, Zhou Si, having finished applying the buff, thrust the hunting horn into the ground again, and the sword and shield in his hands transformed into a giant axe.
He then took a deep breath, and air and lightning energy converged in Zhou Si's lungs. The next moment...
Roar--! ! !
