Chapter 253: The Water Nation, Swallowing Cloud Whale! (Two-in-One, Asking for Monthly Tickets)_5
What's the point of fighting this...
No, that's not right!
He came here as a guest for an exchange, so why would he think about fighting himself?
Lin Su shook his head slightly.
"Anyway, we will head to the Two Fang Special District next," Lante sighed, "I came here to ask, friends from the Flame Yellow Alliance, do you want to go together?"
"Of course, we'll go together," Lin Su replied without hesitation.
He was not a Beast Tamer of the Holy Alliance; they couldn't expect him to take action.
But just to take a look, Lin Su was very interested.
The Two Fang Special District, a joint area established by the marine alien beasts and the Holy Alliance, must be very different from the regular safe zones. Even just to observe it would be worthwhile.
Lante was not surprised by Lin Su's response and nodded slightly, "Then please, this way."
Soon, everyone followed Lante out of the hotel and boarded the transport vehicle to the Two Fang Special District.
...
After the calamity struck, terrifying alien beasts appeared in the ocean.
It's true that marine alien beasts did not harbor hatred toward humans, but that didn't mean they would let humans cross over their heads. For these intelligent creatures with a strong sense of territory, it was an insult.
Hence, every human who attempted to cross the sea was attacked by countless marine alien beasts, with dire consequences.
Over time, the ocean became a forbidden area for humans.
In the middle of the Free Alliance and the Holy Alliance lay the Western Ocean.
The direct distance between the two safe alliances was even shorter than from the Holy Alliance to the Flame Yellow Alliance. However, neither side had ever attempted to reach the other by a straight line because of their fear of the Western Ocean.
And at this moment, in a quiet trench within the Western Ocean, two colossal beasts stood in an imposing standoff.
One of the beasts was several kilometers long, covered in hard shells that glinted with a blue-golden luster. Razor-sharp spikes made it look exceedingly fierce.
Underneath its hard head were eight long spider-like legs firmly planted into the seabed like pillars, stirring up huge clouds of sediment with any slight movement, pouring down like waterfalls.
Behind it lay a body composed of section after section, and a tail as sharp as a blade trailing at the end.
Many nearly invisible small limbs under its body constantly exuded a terrifying chill, lowering the surrounding water temperature to hundreds of degrees below zero without freezing it.
Most striking were the colossal claws in front of its body, nearly as big as its form. The gold patterns on the claws and the terrifying sharpness of their edges seemed as if they could slice through space itself, stirring fear in anyone who beheld them.
This was a...
Lobster.
Or rather, an immortal creature resembling a lobster's form.
The one standing off against it was another formidable immortal creature.
Its body was constantly shattering, as if about to disperse like smoke on the seabed thousands of kilometers deep, yet it also kept reassembling, pulling its form back together.
The cycle of breaking apart and coming together achieved a perfect balance, keeping its body between the realms of illusion and reality.
The tens of kilometers long form was unmistakably that of a terrifying whale.
Billows of mist spouted continuously from the blowholes on its back, creating a miasma at the bottom of the sea.
Everything that came into contact with the mist seemed to morph into the same form as the whale.
It was assimilating everything it touched into part of itself.
Except for its opponent in front of it, without exception.
"I heard that a new immortal has emerged under the Arctic ice sea," said the whale-like beast after a moment of silence, its voice trembling with the mist.
"State your name."
"Ruler of the Sea King Palace, Long Ao," the opposing beast trembled the sea area with its low voice.
As it spoke, a terrifying aura burst forth all at once. Long Ao extended one colossal claw casually and flattened the sea floor of a hundred thousand meters radius around it.
Like scissors, it sheared off all the scars on the ocean floor!
The outburst from Long Ao dispersed the mist that surrounded the whale-like beast instantly, causing even the beast itself to ripple at that moment. Yet the whale-like beast showed no reaction, and in no time, the mist from its blowholes enveloped everything around it once again.
"Sea King Palace?" It glanced at Long Ao with a calm gaze, "The name does carry some authority."
"Your Water Kingdom is no less impressive," Long Ao chuckled, "Your renown precedes you, an immortal from the same era as Dark Lin."
"Water Kingdom, Swallowing Cloud Whale."
"What brings you here?" Swallowing Cloud Whale did not continue with pleasantries, "Though a newly ascendant immortal, you must know that immortals must not intrude into another immortal's territory without cause, else it's considered a declaration of war."
"Of course I know," Long Ao's voice resonated through the water with a note of inquisition, "What is your view on humans?"
"I observe them in the water," Swallowing Cloud Whale spoke evenly, giving Long Ao a meaningful glance, "Humans are on land, while I am in the sea. We coexist peacefully, and if there are no intertwined interests, why bother with them?"
"That may be, but these humans can get quite restless," the voice of Long Ao carried a cold undertone, "After the Alien Beast Ban, they've developed so many new tactics, especially the Guardian Beast Co-operation, which allows Beast Tamers to overpower alien beasts of the same rank. Isn't that a terrifying threat?"
