The Eight Monster House possessed the "anti-peeping mbrane" function, which allowed people on the inside to see out, but prevented those on the outside from seeing in.
Xu Yi's gaze, through the "window" of the Eight Monster House, was fixed on the eight-headed sea serpent, his body tensed, ready to fight at any mont.
He knew the Eight Monster House definitely couldn't deceive the other party. It was called "Void Sneak," but in essence, it was just dynamic camouflage, combined with a Silent Domain.
Even if the camouflage were perfect, movent in the sea still caused ripples in the water.
Common creatures might not notice, but in front of the alchemical machinery of the Ring of Destruction, it was re child's play.
Among the alchemical machinery that appeared with the Ring of Destruction, the eight-headed sea serpent gave Xu Yi a sense of unfathomable depth, far stronger than the copper Clock Bird.
But even the "harmless" copper Clock Bird was in command of the horrific "True God Bullet."
The red glow in the pupils of the eight-headed sea serpent grew more intense, its mouth slightly opening—a prelude to an attack.
At that mont, two dark figures approached swiftly; Xu Yi turned to look.
He had assud they were from the church because, having the capability to dive deep into the sea, probably only the church could be in this region.
But the instant he saw them clearly, he knew they were definitely not from the church.
He instinctively clenched the Sin Remains in his hand; the vibe those two gave him could only be described with two words: bizarre.
The two were dressed in pure black full-body armor, neither resembling a diving suit nor traditional armor. At first glance, they looked more like two pupae, except the swirl pattern on their surface took the shape of spiraling vortexes.
The "Chrysalis Armor" completely wrapped them up, even covering their eyes; it was unclear how they were able to see.
From these two "pupa people," Xu Yi couldn't sense the slightest trace of an exorcist, they seed more like common people.
But for so reason, he shivered slightly as though he had encountered a terrifying natural enemy.
The mont the pupa people appeared, the eight-headed sea serpent stared fixedly at them, turning its back on the "Xu Family Restaurant."
Obviously, in the eyes of the eight-headed sea serpent, the "Xu Family Restaurant" was utterly insignificant compared to the pupa people before it.
What surprised Xu Yi even more was that the sea serpent, which ca from the "madn organization," didn't attack first but chose to leave instead.
It turned around sharply and dived toward the depths of the sea with lightning speed.
"Where did you trash co from, disappear!"
One of the pupa people suddenly turned their head, giving the Eight Monster House a casual glance.
Xu Yi's expression darkened; in these deep seas, the reason he could hear the other's words clearly was because they were transford into the sound of the soul by the "Chrysalis Armor."
The other pupa person remained silent but raised a weapon in hand. It resembled a Mauser Gun, but with a shorter barrel.
When the trigger was pulled, what shot out was not a bullet, but a spearhead about the length of a finger.
Logically, in such deep-sea conditions, even bullets fired from a sniper rifle would be affected by the high pressure of the seawater and thus lose their accuracy.
But the spearhead forged ahead relentlessly, the deep-sea pressure having no effect on it at all.
Without needing a warning from Xu Yi, Xu Changrong knew that the spearhead was not to be trifled with, maneuvering the Eight Monster House to dodge.
Yet, midway through its flight, the spearhead began to accelerate, defying all logic. It grew faster and faster, until eventually the spearhead's shadow was completely obscured with only the parted water trail visible.
The Eight Monster House struggled to dodge. Just when it seed to have successfully evaded, the spearhead abruptly changed direction, fiercely plunging into the "wall" of the Eight Monster House.
There was no earth-shattering noise, as if the object that hit the Eight Monster House was just an ordinary spearhead.
But the tentacles beneath the Eight Monster House instantly ceased moving, and even the camouflage couldn't be maintained; it took shape in the water and began to plumt downward.
The pupa person gave the "Xu Family Restaurant" a glance, then paid it no further attention, as if they had rely squashed an insignificant ant on the roadside; they pursued the eight-headed sea serpent.
Inside "Xu Family Restaurant," Xu Yi's face looked sowhat unsightly.
If he hadn't sealed all the entrances in advance, by now the seawater would have already surged in.
With half of a divine body, Xu Yi was immune to the crushing pressure of the deep sea, but it wasn't that easy for everyone else, not to ntion that they also had to contend with an oxygen-free environnt.
Eight Monster House could absorb oxygen from seawater, performing an internal and external exchange. Now that Eight Monster House was paralyzed, that function was naturally lost.
He had to "cure" Eight Monster House before the oxygen inside was depleted.
Other parts of Eight Monster House were sealed, and the ancient well was the only passage out. Xu Yi jumped into the well, its water icy and bone-chilling.
At the bottom of the well was actually a spatial tunnel. Passing through the spatial tunnel, Xu Yi could appear in any area of Eight Monster House.
After a bout of dizziness, when Xu Yi opened his eyes again, he was already in the midst of the deep sea.
He found the spot where Eight Monster House was "struck by the arrow", the arrow's power wasn't strong, with half of it still sticking out of the wall.
The arrow was dull and dusty, not appearing unusual, but Xu Yi dared not touch it directly with his hands.
He donned thick tal gloves, grabbed the tail of the arrow, and yanked hard.
But the next second, his expression changed.
The tal gloves were actually "lting," not the type of lting like tal corroded by concentrated sulfuric acid, but more like decay, as if the tal had turned into deadwood and then had been nibbled by termites for decades.
As the gloves decayed, Xu Yi inevitably ca into contact with the arrow.
An eerie energy surged into his palm, and suddenly he couldn't feel it anymore, completely numb as if it had been anesthetized.
What was worse, the "anesthesia" kept spreading along his arm.
Xu Yi turned fierce and yanked hard again. Fortunately, although his hand was numb, it still clutched the arrow tightly, and he was able to forcefully pull it out.
Because he couldn't feel his hand, he couldn't shake the arrow off, so he resorted to the simplest and most violent thod. He tore his arm off and then threw it away.
Xu Yi watched his arm fall, his face looking sowhat unsightly.
It was the right arm again that he tore off; he had done the sa in Egypt not long ago, and it had only just finished regenerating.
He had co to realize that the arrow was imbued with so kind of "anesthetic toxin."
The toxin was obviously not applied afterward but was integrated into the material during the forging of the arrow.
But to be honest, this was beyond Xu Yi's understanding of "poison." In the face of that substance, his demigod body was almost ineffective.
Xu Yi had planned to bring the arrow back for study, but once the arrow was removed from Eight Monster House, it seed to trigger so chanism, starting to decay as well, and it disappeared with a sweep of the seawater.
"Just don't let get the chance!"
Xu Yi returned to Eight Monster House, gritting his teeth.
It wasn't because he had self-amputated and beco Yang Guo, but due to the depletion of divinity.
In order to remove the residual anesthetic toxin in Eight Monster House, he had to first isolate it, then break off half of "Xu Family Restaurant," and finally consu divinity to repair the wall.
Divinity was already scarce for forging weapons, and now that so much was consud, he felt as if his heart was bleeding.
Nonetheless, Xu Yi felt sowhat fortunate that the toxin in the arrow was sparse and the size of Eight Monster House was sufficiently large, not affecting the core; otherwise, Eight Monster House might have directly "collapsed."
Eight Monster House continued to dive deeper, as the word "cowardly" didn't exist in Xu Yi's dictionary.
But he liked to be strategic, so he changed Eight Monster House's position to avoid directly running into those two chrysalis people.
This was rely a strategic retreat. How could it be considered cowardly?
