Sowhere in the deep sea.
No light can penetrate here, and the seawater seems to congeal into thick ink, with only sporadic bioluminescence like scattered stars decorating this eternal darkness.
This is a school of lanternfish, carrying "little lanterns" on their heads, slowly swimming along the slope of the trench.
Their scales emanate a faint blue light under the glow, like a group of ghosts wandering in the night sky.
And beneath them in the sedint, many scallop shells open and close intermittently, filtering tiny plankton with the flow of the water.
Occasionally, you can see a few giant clams, their shells covered with the marks of ti, like elderly people who have weathered life’s storms.
This is a serene ocean, not yet affected by the Abyssal Contamination, filled everywhere with the breath of life.
However, the tranquility of this ocean is being disrupted.
Sowhere beneath the corals on the seabed, a "black curtain wall" has appeared from God knows when.
When the first lanternfish struck the viscous black wall, the entire seabed began to tremble.
Because... the wall ca alive.
Thousands of ring-shaped mouths opened up from the creased flesh wall, each opening and closing at different frequencies, like trumpets playing requiems.
The outermost coiled teeth of these mouths twisted, shredding the incoming lanternfish into pieces and swallowing them into the internal stomach sacs.
The school of lanternfish instantly beca alert, their "lanterns" began to flicker rapidly, transmitting signals of danger.
The surrounding lanternfish received the danger signal and started to flee in all directions.
However, it was already too late.
From those thousands of mouths, thorny tentacles suddenly shot out.
The ends of the tentacles were covered with nurous suckers, containing a sticky mixture of digestive enzys and neurotoxins.
Thousands of tentacles shot out, latching onto the lanternfish that attempted to escape, the thorns on the tentacles penetrating the bodies of the lanternfish, injecting digestive enzys and neurotoxins.
The lanternfish instantly lost the ability to fight back, dragged into the mouths, and chewed into pieces, swallowed into the stomach sacs.
Almost in an instant, the entire school of lanternfish was devoured.
After the lanternfish were fully consud, the black wall began to move across the seabed, enveloping a giant clam.
The mouths on the wall latched onto it, and the spiral sharp teeth in the mouths rotated, shattering the giant clam’s shell within seconds.
Dozens of mouths probed into the clam, devouring the interior at.
After the first clam was crushed by the mouths, the scent of acid rot began to drift through the water.
This is the scent released when the Abyssal Giant Beast processes its prey, expelling excess digestive mucus into the water.
This digestive mucus contains a special kind of feeding pheromone.
Fish a few kiloters away sniffed this acidic scent and, instead of fleeing, began to converge toward the position of the Abyssal Giant Beast.
The Abyssal Giant Beast began a frenzy of feeding at the seabed, sparing no fish in the water, nor shells in the seabed sedint.
Even algae, plankton, and coral polyps were completely consud.
The Abyssal Giant Beast acted like a terrifying machine, swallowing all organic matter in its path and digesting it into part of its body.
In just half a day, the Abyssal Giant Beast grew from over ninety ters to a hundred and thirty ters long.
...
On the surface of the Bethmay Sea.
A destroyer was sailing at full speed, with its sonar fully operational, attempting to locate the terrifying creature lurking in the depths.
The sonar made by humans usually has no effect on seabed creatures, but whether it would alert the Abyssal Giant Beast remains uncertain.
The Abyssal Giant Beast’s size was imnse enough that anti-submarine sonar detection might prove fruitful.
Furthermore, Sarian led the Sea Demon Clan Warriors, while Liu Haiyang led the Human Ocean Team, to start their investigation.
Although the Abyss Battlefield erged in the Bethmay Sea, it doesn’t an the Abyssal Giant Beasts are only in this sea area.
The forest environnt also requires attention.
Therefore, after confirming the response plan, Lu Heng went to the Quel’dorei.
Since the destruction of the Shadow Demon Lord City, Queen Orelana has entered the Demigod advancent period but lacks the auxiliary materials needed for the advancent ceremony.
Lu Heng promised her that if they obtained the auxiliary materials needed for the advancent ceremony after killing the Abyssal Giant Beast, she could have the first pick.
With this promise, the Elf Clan dispatched Forest Elder Serren.
Serren personally led a team of Druids responsible for investigating the forest environnt.
Serren also discussed another matter with Lu Heng, which was to plant the Golden Tree Seed on Blue Star.
The Quel’dorei’s Golden Tree had already proven to have a certain effect in combating Abyssal Pollution.
Although it cannot purify the Abyss Pollution Source, it can slow down the spread of the Abyss Pollution Source.
Serren gained many new insights while helping the Bansel Clan plant the Golden Tree Seed, so he hoped to possibly plant Golden Trees in more worlds.
Blue Star is suffering from Abyss Pollution, and planting Golden Trees is also beneficial for humanity.
Therefore, Lu Heng agreed to his request.
Serren led the Druids to Blue Star, entering forests around the world accompanied by human Superpower Soldiers, beginning to plant Golden Tree Seeds while scouting for any potential Abyssal Giant Beasts.
For Serren, plants are his eyes.
