Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 135 Monsters in the Deep Sea
"Hey Nemesis." Gunde walked shyly to Nemesis who was resting with his eyes closed on the deck.

"Shut up." Nemesis didn't open his eyes and rejected him before he could continue speaking. "I don't want to chat with you."

"Uh," Gunde scratched his head and continued, "I didn't mean to chat with you."

"It seems we have encountered another sea beast ahead."

Hearing this, Nemesis' eyes lit up and he sat up.

During this year, the fleet would often encounter some huge sea beasts that emerged from the deep sea. These sea beasts had extremely powerful strength and very simple minds. They would not consider how terrifyingly powerful the people on the fleet were and would mindlessly launch attacks when they encountered them.

Logically speaking, with the control of the Naga and the Murloc, these sea beasts should not be so stupid. However, for some reason, these deep-sea beasts far away from the mainland seem to have no intelligent creatures to keep them in captivity, which leads to their stupid behavior.

Cordel also dived and tried to find the murlocs to make some deals so that these sea beasts would not disturb the fleet's progress, but he found nothing, so he had to deal with it himself.

This is also one of the few remaining entertainment activities for the guests on the Royal Keel - hunting sea beasts.

Cordell was indeed a great general who came from a merchant family and was well versed in human nature. Not only did he not waste the Golden Legion's manpower to deal with the sea beasts, but he always gave the opportunity to deal with the sea beasts to the guests on the Royal Keel.

There are many strong men like Nemesis who are bored and unsociable and always rush to hunt sea beasts at this time to stretch their muscles.

However, because there were too many people who wanted to participate, the sea beasts were killed shortly after they appeared each time. When there were subsequent attacks, everyone took turns to go.

This time it's Nemesis' turn.

"Can you take me with you?" Seeing Nemesis standing up, Gunde asked happily. Although as a giant dragon in the desert, the Brass Dragon hated fighting in the sea, it was still one of the few entertainment activities on the sea.

Nemesis shrugged and said, "Let's go."

The two dragons immediately flew into the sky and transformed into their original forms. This was the first time they showed their true forms on the ship. Many soldiers on other ships were frightened by the dragons and raised their weapons. They only felt relieved after discovering that they were guests of the Royal Keel.

Two giant dragons, one yellow and one silver, flew across the water. Their extremely fast speed caused the air to form a long ripple on the water. Soon they arrived at the rear of the fleet. An extremely large dark shadow was rapidly approaching the warship in the sea.

"It's the octopus again." Nemesis' powerful eyesight quickly saw the true appearance of the underwater creature through the sea water, and he couldn't help feeling bored. He hated eating octopus the most.

"Giant dragon!"

The warships at the rear of the fleet were in a commotion when they saw the giant dragons flying across the sky, but they soon discovered that the two dragons were their own.

With excitement in his eyes, Gunde opened his dragon mouth wide and spewed out flames dozens of meters long. The scorching high-temperature flames evaporated the nearby seawater the moment it came into contact with it. The octopus under the water was burned by the high temperature and stretched out a tentacle in pain and flew towards the sky.

"It's quite big." Nemesis sneered and nimbly circled in the sky to avoid the attack of the more than 50-meter-long tentacle. But Gunde was not so lucky. He was hit by the huge tentacle due to his clumsiness. The huge force immediately threw the brass dragon into the sea.

"Pfft!!"

The brass dragon fell into the sea, splashing large columns of water. As a dragon in the desert, the brass dragon was a complete landlubber. He took several mouthfuls of sea water before he struggled to fly out of the water.

Nemesis raised his hand to cast a spell. As the spell was recited, terrifying heat gathered at his fingertips. Five-ring Shaping Spell - [Advanced Explosive Fire]!
A huge ball of flame suddenly erupted on the body of the octopus in the water, causing a violent explosion. The scorching temperature heated up the sea water, forming large bubbles that "gurgled" to the surface.

The severely injured octopus immediately waved its dozen or so tentacles that were more than fifty meters long to try to catch the giant dragon in the sky.

However, Nemesis, blessed with [Cat's Grace], was extremely agile in the air. Not only did it shuttle between the tentacles without any harm, it also continuously performed [Advanced Explosive Fire Technique] attacks.

Huge balls of fire exploded on the octopus one after another, and even if the octopus swam into deep water, it could not avoid them. This spell was a locking spell. Once locked by the caster, an explosion comparable to a fireball would be launched on the recipient.

Even in the icy sea water, after being bombarded by seven [Advanced Explosive Fire Techniques], the octopus still could not escape death, and soon its charred body floated to the surface of the water.

Nemesis flew to the surface of the sea and was about to taste the octopus when he suddenly frowned.

He discovered that there were many black lines intersecting on the octopus's body, and an evil aura was emanating from them.

"What a foul smell." Nemesis covered his nose, frowned and gave up tasting it.

Gunde, who was standing nearby, also flew over at this time. Seeing the corpse, he was a little disappointed and said, "How come it's a demonized octopus, a true Qi dragon?"

Demonized creatures are one of the most numerous types of monsters in Faerun. Most of them are ordinary magical creatures, but after being contaminated by various evil auras, they become inedible poisonous monsters.

"Tsk." Nemesis spat and flew towards the Royal Keel in disappointment, with Gunde following closely behind.

But they didn't notice that after they left, the octopus's eyes suddenly trembled, and a strange-looking worm crawled out of it.

After the worm crawled out, it swam all the way to the deep sea, until it was below the fleet, in the sea thousands of miles deep.

The bugs paused, and a nightmarish creature with a bulbous body and a dozen crustacean-like legs crawled out of the deep sea mud.

The bug seemed to be communicating something with the other monster, and the monster became extremely angry and swallowed the bug in one gulp.

"Neh-thalggu! Na-sagu!" the monster shouted in a strange language. Soon, more and more monsters crawled out of the mud. They had the same appearance as this monster and shouted in the same strange language.

Thousands of monsters were pulled out of the soil, causing the soil in the area to be almost turned upside down.

The scene in the soil also appeared.

Those were the bodies of murlocs and nagas.

They lay quietly in the mud pit, their eyes closed, but the slight rise and fall of their chests proved that they were still alive.

However, their heads had completely lost the protection of the outer shell, and their tender brains were exposed to the sea water, with more or less parts of them missing. Some monsters seemed reluctant to part with their brains, and opened their big, fang-filled mouths to swallow them whole.

Then, these thousands of monsters slowly paddled towards the water surface, heading towards the fleet.
