Chapter 1309: Chapter 1309: Waiting for You to Co Back
Ye You surveyed the field of Fire Beauty Sea Anemones, raised the Sparrow Spirit Scepter, and unleashed a Vigor Gold Knife attack. The shadow of a black machete sliced through the Fire Beauty Sea Anemones, severing dozens of fiery-red tentacles.
Imdiately, he rotated his palm, using magic power to manipulate the seawater, and drew the severed tentacles to himself, then packed them into a box, storing them in his Portable Space.
The atmosphere suddenly turned eerie. Ye You looked up to find that the tentacles of the Fire Beauty Sea Anemones, which had been swaying gently with the seawater, now stood still, thousands upon thousands of tentacles frozen as if awaiting orders.
Ye You knew things were amiss and quickly turned to swim upwards, shouting urgently to Qin Sisi and the others, "Go quickly!"
Zhuo Chen reacted swiftly, seeing that Ye You had succeeded and issued a warning, he imdiately grabbed Qin Sisi’s arm and swam upwards. Since Ye You had temporarily entrusted Qin Sisi to him, he ought to do his utmost to ensure her safety.
Just as Ye You turned, countless Fire Beauty Sea Anemones began to go berserk. Their short tentacles rapidly extended, shooting towards him with incredible speed.
Nurous fiery-red tentacles converged together, chasing upward. Qin Sisi looked back in worry, seeing the dense red tentacles like blood-red giant serpents, with gaping maws, coming to devour them. The original deep blue ocean now took on a strange red hue because of these frenzied Fire Beauty Sea Anemones.
Thanks to his powerful magic, Ye You’s swimming speed was swift, soon catching up to Qin Sisi and the others.
He pulled Qin Sisi’s arm from Zhuo Chen’s grasp, personally leading her upward while urging the rmaid Tribe warriors to speed up once more.
However, the ferocity of the Fire Beauty Sea Anemones surpassed their expectations. They did not give up the pursuit just because their targets were fast, relentlessly following behind.
According to Zhuo Chen, they would only be truly safe after leaving the Deep Trench Evil Spirit.
The rapid swimming was draining Ye You and the others’ stamina, while the Fire Beauty Sea Anemones grew fiercer, exhibiting an unyielding resolve to achieve their aim.
Midway through their escape, a rmaid Tribe warrior at the rear had his ankle caught by the fastest of the pursuing Fire Beauty Sea Anemones’ tentacles.
Perhaps having heard many terrifying tales of the Fire Beauty Sea Anemones, the warrior panicked, kicking vigorously but forgetting to use his weapon and magic.
Zhuo Chen, the closest to him, turned back, severing the tentacle with his short sword, and used magic power to push the warrior upwards with a surge of water.
When Zhuo Chen himself tried to swim again, he realized his own ankle was ensnared. With grave determination, he turned to sever the tentacle binding him, but within seconds, more tentacles chased and bound his arms, rendering him unable to use his short sword or magic.
Once the tentacles had caught Zhuo Chen, they pulled him down forcefully, dragging him back to their lair to beco fertilizer for their growth.
Ye You, swimming at the top with Qin Sisi, saw Zhuo Chen in danger and directed another rmaid Tribe warrior to take Qin Sisi further up while he turned back for rescue.
Qin Sisi turned her deep gaze towards Ye You’s figure, worried for him, hoping he would accompany her out of this dreadful place soon.
However, she understood his great love as a ruler for his people and his warrior’s righteousness towards comrades. She couldn’t stop him from rescuing Zhuo Chen, even if it was perilous.
"Madam, please hurry!" The rmaid Tribe warrior assigned to look after her urged anxiously.
Although the warrior found the fish-tailed woman curious, since she was Ye You’s wife, calling her "Madam" couldn’t be wrong.
Qin Sisi nodded and let the warrior continue leading her upward.
Ye You, I trust you will return safely, and I await you.
Ye You swam near Zhuo Chen, waved the Sparrow Spirit Scepter, cutting off a large swath of fiery-red tentacles, seizing the opportunity to store many more in his Portable Space.
Zhuo Chen felt a sudden release, the tentacles binding him disappeared, and he quickly propelled upwards with his fish-tail, passing by Ye You and expressing his gratitude, "Thank you."
"Go quickly." Ye You said little, only urging Zhuo Chen to leave at once.
"What about you?" Zhuo Chen hesitated, unwilling to let soone die to save him.
"I’ll hold them off for a while; you leave with them first," Ye You said, simultaneously releasing magic power to form a burning Blaze Fla Shield with violet flas in the seawater.
"Let
help you." Zhuo Chen, proud as a General, was unwilling to leave this way.
"Stop the nonsense and go!" Ye You’s expression turned stern, as Zhuo Chen staying there could hardly be of any help.
Zhuo Chen finally realized this point, opening his mouth to say sothing, but ultimately just clenched his fist, turning abruptly to swim upwards.
The Ziwei Heaven Fire, being a Divine Fire, wasn’t afraid of water, but under the vast ocean, its mana was sowhat affected.
Additionally, the sheer number of chasing Fire Beauty Sea Anemone tentacles was beyond imagination, and Ye You’s Blaze Fla Shield needed to cover a large area to effectively block them, which greatly consud his magic power.
In the dim, undersea world, a surreal scene unfolded.
Above, the normal ocean world sprawled, with different species scattered about, the deep blue seawater flowing continuously.
Below, countless fiery-red strips writhed and entangled, resembling a sea of blood devouring countless lives.
In between, stretched a clear dividing line, flat and translucent, with violet flas rising and flickering upon it.
Qin Sisi and Zhuo Chen, along with the others, finally swam to the upper edge of the Deep Trench Evil Spirit, stepping onto the rocky seabed, their hearts heavy and relieved; the escape from death to survival had finally ended.
Qin Sisi stood at the fringe of the Deep Trench Evil Spirit, quietly gazing into its black depths, her expression deeply troubled.
Feeling guilty, Zhuo Chen swam up beside her and softly said, "Ms. Qin, should I go down and take a look?"
He had already learned Qin Sisi’s na from Ye You.
"No," Qin Sisi resolutely refused Zhuo Chen’s suggestion, "We’ll wait right here."
All they could do now was wait.
These people, including herself, had magic power far below Ye You’s. Re-entering the Deep Trench Evil Spirit would only create more trouble for Ye You. Staying safe and waiting quietly was their best option.
Qin Sisi took a deep breath, her expression settling into calm, but her eyes, bright as stars, fixed unwaveringly on the Deep Trench.
Ye You, I am waiting for you here, I know you will return, back to my side.
