nChapter 381: Nest

nTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

nThe situation fell into a stalemate.

nWicky wanted to rush into the Dead Sea several times, but he was pushed out by a sea of monsters.

nOn the battlefield, three Whale Harvesters and the eight Dragon harvesters swam endlessly. Every attack could absorb a lot of spiritual energy from Vicky, and they were also the main force of the monsters’ side in this battle.

nWhen the fourth Whale Harvester emerged from the Dead Sea, Wicky finally could not bear it.

n“Too many.”

nThere were indeed too many of them, dense and fearless of death. Even the strongest Whale Harvester among them was only a slight difference from the weakest Spirit Realm expert, but the sheer quantity made up for the quality.

nIn the next second, Vicky’s figure retreated explosively, breaking through the interception of the Dragon Harvester. The spiritual light on his body burst forth. In an instant, he killed his way through an upward passageway.

nHis figure flew like lightning to the entrance of the Ten Thousand Devil Abyss. Only then did Vicky lower his head and look down, his eyes revealing a chill.

n“Alright, Lu Ming, you can run fast.”

nHowever, he had already decided not to chase into the Dead Sea.

n“But you can run for a while, you can’t run for a lifetime.”

n“I don’t believe that you can stay in the Dead Sea forever and not come out!?”

nTranscendents could not stay in that damned Dead Sea forever.

nNo matter how special Lu Ming was, he could not permanently reside in the Dead Sea.

nAs long as he waited, he would finally get Lu Ming.

nVicky was convinced of this.

nThe sounds of battle above the Dead Sea gradually subsided, but unfortunately, Lu Ming and the others could not hear it.

nThey had already dived very deeply, encountering fewer and fewer monsters along the way.

nIt was not until the monsters no longer surged out from below that everyone realized the opportunity brought by Vicky had ended.

n“Too bad, why didn’t that guy hold on longer…”

nThe Desolate Demon Lord muttered, and everyone in the tower was silent.

nLooking around, the surroundings were dark and chaotic, with no targets in sight and no idea where to go.

n“Should we go back?”

nThe Desolate Demon Lord suggested, but Lu Ming vetoed outrightly, “Go back for what? To die?”

n“Keep going downwards.”

n“But if we go deeper, we might not even be able to find the way back.” The Desolate Demon Lord argued with Lu Ming, and he had a point.

nAt this moment, everyone had ventured too deep into the Dead Sea. If they went further down, they might very well get lost in the Dead Sea until their energy was exhausted and be completely devoured by the Dead Sea.

nBefore Lu Ming could speak again, a strange sound suddenly came from behind.

nThe Desolate Demon Lord turned sharply to look behind.

nA heavily wounded Whale Harvester was slowly swimming over like a moving continent.

nThe enormous shadow cast by the whale form fell over the Desolate Demon Lord, making him keep silent, fearing that the Whale Harvester might notice his presence.

nLu Ming’s voice suddenly sounded from inside the Boshi Tower.

n“Follow it.”

nThe Desolate Demon Lord was stunned for a moment before quickly returning to his senses.

nAdmittedly, Lu Ming had come up with a good idea.

nThis Whale Harvester had clearly just retreated from the battlefield.

nAt this moment, it was swimming into the depths of the Dead Sea. There was a high chance that it was similar to the triumphant return of a soldier from a war. Its target was most likely what Lu Ming and the others were looking for.

nBut, that might not be the case…

nIn any case, faced with the choice between leaving the Dead Sea and continuing to explore, Land Ming chose the latter. Moreover, the Desolate Demon Lord was also indecisive between these two choices.

nFor now, he would follow Lu Ming’s arrangement.

nAs the Whale Harvester swam to his side, the Desolate Demon Master carefully clung to its body.

nThe whale’s body was covered with scales of various sizes, providing a stable grip for the Desolate Demon Lord.

nThe Whale Harvester seemed unaware of the small creature on its back, and thus, carrying Lu Ming and his group, it swam towards the depths of the Dead Sea.

nCold, lonely, and an unchanging landscape.

nIn this environment, the Desolate Demon Lord seemed to have lost the concept of time.

nInside the Boshi Tower, Lu Ming stopped cultivating.

nBoth cultivation and building divinities required the consumption of source power. In the harsh environment outside the Dead Sea, with no idea when they would see daylight again, Lu Ming could not afford to use the life-saving source power and spiritual energy stored in the tower to enhance his cultivation.

nAs he calculated the time, he discreetly observed the Whale Harvester close at hand, and occasionally having the Desolate Demon Lord collect some scales, dead skin, or blood flowing from its wounds for future research..

nHe was intrigued by this group of monsters called Harvesters and wanted to study them. Collecting samples now was an early preparation.

nThe Whale Harvester swam fast.

nIf the Desolate Demon Lord’s forward speed were compared to one, then the swimming speed of the Whale Harvester would be equivalent to 10,000 or even more.

nThis was even more absurd than the speed difference between walking and moving cars.

nThe streamlined body of the Whale Harvester through the liquefied black mist, with monsters occasionally appearing nearby, but quickly left behind by the Whale Harvester.

n“How long has it been?”

nThe Desolate Demon Lord asked, and Lu Ming replied, “It’s been half an hour.”

n“All…” Desolate sighed and said helplessly, “Then we have to persist to the end.”

nThey had long lost the direction to return. If they did not continue following the Whale Harvester into the depths, they would not find their way back.

nLu Ming refrained from expressing any opinion on this matter, and just simply scanned the outside world.

nHe vaguely sensed that the Whale Harvester’s speed was gradually slowing down, as if it was about to reach its destination.

nHowever, the terrifying weakening of perception caused by the liquefied black mist made it impossible for Lu Ming to see what was in the distance.

nAbout ten minutes later.

nThe faint light fell into Lu Ming’s eyes.

nHe slowly widened his eyes, looking towards the outside world.

nHe could see in the distance, a spherical glowing object appearing within his perception range.

nInitially, the spherical object was only the size of a light bulb, emitting a cyan glow.

nBut, as the Whale Harvester approached this thing, the spherical object grew larger and larger.

nFrom a light bulb, it became the size of a house, then the size of an aircraft carrier, and finally an endless expanse!

nIt was as if a sea planet had appeared before Lu Ming’s eyes, constantly emitting a cyan glow, like the sun in the Dead Sea.

nAs the Whale Harvester approached the object, more details fell into the eyes of Lu Ming and his group.

nIt was not a perfectly round sphere; its overall shape was elliptical. The surface was uneven, covered with tentacles emitting a faint blue glow.

nThe tentacles trembled slightly and waved, indicating to Lu Ming that this thing might be a living organism.

n“Wuwuwu—”

nThe Whale Harvester’s body emitted a cry of homecoming.

nAs the Whale Harvester approached the surface of the sphere, a crack automatically opened on the surface of the sphere.

nA flesh-colored passageway inside appeared in front of everyone.

nWithout needing to look further, Lu Ming had already guessed the “identity” of this spherical object.

n“The nest.”

n“This is the nest of the anomalies..”
