Elder brother's garrison

At night, deep-sea amphibious ships are very active on the sea surface.

Aside from the Deep Sea Dean we saw earlier, there were still various types of ordinary Deep Sea Amphibious Ships on the sea surface at this time.

The massive bodies of the advanced deep-sea amphibious ships, glowing with gold or red light, lay on the surface of the water. They twisted their huge fish tails, and their mechanical bodies created waves on the water.

In the distance, deep within the hazy black fog, red lights symbolizing the Deep Sea Ark could be seen appearing and disappearing, and cold gazes would occasionally sweep over Xiaobai from all directions.

Using the mental power of the Deep Sea Will for navigation, Xiaobai ignored all sorts of troublesome obstacles and drove straight in, heading towards the depths of the node.

After walking a short distance into the node, Xiaobai soon encountered a Deep Sea Dean once again on the sea surface.

In Xiaobai's vision, all he could see on the other side of the dark sea was a human-shaped Deep Sea Dean, swaying and wandering.

This time, having learned from her previous experience, Xiaobai did not approach the Deep Sea Abomination rashly. Instead, she chose a relatively remote location with no obstacles and gazed in the direction of the Deep Sea Dean from afar.

With the help of the ship girl, Xiaobai quickly got a clear look at this Deep Sea Dean.

Like the first Dean of the Deep Sea, this Dean of the Deep Sea also possessed a huge gray-white ship rigging. Compared to the massive steel, the girl's limbs, which looked much weaker, shone with a faint gray hue under the moonlight. She had long limbs and a full figure.

Xiao Bai took a closer look at the face of this second Deep Sea Dean. Sure enough, this Deep Sea Dean was just like the previous one. Although his human form had evolved into a beautiful and handsome appearance after becoming the Deep Sea Dean, his pupils were unfocused and his eyes were lifeless. He looked weak and frail, as if he had kidney deficiency.

"Is this also a soulless Dean of the Deep Sea?"

Xiao Bai muttered to himself, then walked around the Dean of the Deep Sea.

As they ventured deeper into the sea, the number of those weak-kneed deep-sea deans finally began to increase.

Soon, Xiaobai saw a third, a fourth, and even a fifth, sixth, or seventh group of animals.

Further down, these deep-sea deans became as common as ordinary deep-sea amphibious ships on the outskirts of the sea.

"Where did these Deep Sea Deans come from...?" Xiao Bai looked at the humanoid Deep Sea Abyssal Ships around him and suddenly felt a little confused.

Xiao Bai can't go any further.

The saber buff on Xiaobai hasn't disappeared yet, making him easy to attract the aggro of those Deep Sea Deans. If he goes further in, and the number of Deep Sea Deans becomes greater than the number of Deep Sea Submarines at the outermost edge of the node, then Xiaobai will probably be chased and beaten by a group of Deep Sea Deans.

—To be honest, you won't die this way, but it's a bit embarrassing.

Just as Xiaobai was moving along the sea surface, a faint tremor suddenly came from the spiritual world.

The will of the deep sea sent a message to Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai quickly stood up straight, closed his eyes and waited for a while. Suddenly, a message appeared in Xiao Bai's mind.

It was still a map of the sea, and not far from Xiaobai, a red circle was marked by the Will of the Deep Sea.

—Did the Will of the Deep Sea really find the entrance to that mysterious sea?

Okay, let's go take a look.

Xiao Bai opened his eyes, looked at the direction marked by the Deep Sea Will, and after confirming that it was not a place to continue deeper into the node, he continued to rush in the direction marked by the Deep Sea Will.

As he hurried on his way, Xiaobai was still recalling the map that the Deep Sea Will had marked for him.

Chapter 1034... There really is an entrance to a mysterious sea. If that's the case, then the deep-sea anomaly in Chapter 6 is probably related to that mysterious sea again.

As Xiaobai thought this, he soon saw the sea surface marked by the will of the deep sea.

Xiao Bai could see from afar that on that stretch of sea, there were more than a dozen deep-sea deans suffering from kidney deficiency, swimming around as if a sports meet was being held.

Xiao Bai turned around and realized that while recalling the information the Deep Sea Will had given him, he had misjudged his position and accidentally wandered into the encirclement of several Deep Sea Deans. Now, several Deep Sea Deans with vacant eyes had somehow appeared behind him, silent and rather intimidating at first glance.

Now that the Deepsea Abomination had discovered him, Xiaobai decided to go all out and, despite his initial hesitation, accelerated and charged towards the direction marked by the Deepsea Will.

Whoosh.

Xiao Bai charged straight into the crowd of Deep Sea Deans, arriving at the endpoint marked by the Deep Sea Will just a second before the eyes of those Deep Sea Abominations turned to him.

With a whoosh, Xiaobai's body disappeared instantly from the surface of the sea.

"Rumble rumble rumble rumble"

The next second, countless rapid shells, accompanied by raging flames, instantly boiled this small area of ​​sea.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

After a subtle dizzying sensation, with a splash, Little White, with its eyes closed and ears covered, fell from mid-air onto the calm water surface.

Xiao Bai could still feel a slight ringing in his ears from the shelling.

"Yuyu...Yuyu..."

Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his ears.

That feeling of being teleported feels so familiar...

Xiao Bai thought to herself, and then opened her eyes.

Xiao Bai was indeed back in the sea area he had visited before, shrouded in a strange, thick, deep-sea resentment.

"……Eh?"

Xiao Bai opened his eyes, stared at the scenery in front of him, and suddenly became a little stunned.

The sea area is indeed still the same sea area.

But... things in the sea have changed.

Right in Xiaobai's field of vision.

This entire sea area is surrounded by mountains and sea in all directions, front, back, left, and right.

— It was crowded with gray-white deep-sea deans.

The dark, swarming deep-sea deans looked like zombies from a zombie movie Xiaobai had seen, swaying and wandering around the sea.

Finally, as if sensing something, the countless deep-sea deans covering the mountains and plains gradually regained their balance, and then, one after another...

Their gaze turned to Xiaobai.

Chapter 1035 The city at night is quite deserted compared to the hustle and bustle of the day.

Under the serene moonlight, the entire beach was deserted. In the distance, the sea breeze whipped up whitecaps from the shimmering water and carried them ashore. Wave after wave crashed onto the beach, but ultimately could not withstand the hard sand and shattered into a carpet of white foam.

"Wow————"

The sound of waves crashing against the shore is the only melody in Chapter Six at night. Like the even breathing of a person in a light sleep, it is steady and harmonious.

"Splash—splash—splash splash splash splash—"

However, at a certain moment, a faint, discordant melody emerged from this incredibly stable sound.

Under the moonlight, a white figure approached from the depths of the sea. The small figure moved through the water, and with the help of a wave, climbed ashore from the other side of the sea.

Bai Ying went ashore and walked towards the center of the deserted beach.

Bai Ying found a spacious open space on the beach and sat down. She opened her ship equipment space and took out several dry branches and planks, which she stacked in front of her.

Bai Ying skillfully broke off the overly long branch and chose a sturdier one to hold in her hand. Then, she took a slight breath and quickly rubbed the branch between her hands, drilling into a piece of wood.

The beach remained quiet at night.

A gentle sea breeze blew across the beach, and in a small corner of the dark sand, a cluster of orange sparks suddenly appeared.

The fragile sparks swayed and flickered in the sea breeze, landing on the wooden planks and faintly igniting into a tiny flame.

"call----"

The flame had barely risen when the sea breeze intensified, extinguishing the nascent fire and turning it into a small black dot on the wooden board.

"..." Bai Ying snapped the branch in her hand.

A few minutes later, Bai Ying moved to a place where the wind was less strong.

With a crackling sound, the second fire rose up.

The bright blue flames burned fiercely on the woodpile, swaying in mid-air like a warrior against the sea breeze. Even though the sea breeze was relentlessly attacking it, the fire showed no sign of abating.

Bai Ying placed the bundle of sausages that Xiao Bai had handed her at her feet, took one out, carefully unwrapped it, inserted a skewer, and lit it on the top of the blue flame.

The sapphire-like flame color reflected on her fair and delicate face, making her appearance look slightly mysterious.

"She'll be alright, won't she...?"

Bai Ying held the skewer, watching the sausage skin gradually char and crisp in the flames, and muttered to herself.

"I saw before that she was completely immune to attacks from ordinary deep-sea amphibious ships... With that ability, she should be fine, right?"

"...Hmm. Should we go find her after we finish eating...?"

"It seems best not to bother her after all..."

Bai Ying asked and answered herself, then took the sausage, which was almost done roasting, out of the blue flames and took a small bite.

"...Maybe right now, she's happily dancing and shouting on the sea... Mmmm..."

Bai Ying's mumbling as she chewed gradually faded into the night air.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

A loud scream echoed incessantly in the dark, seemingly endless sea.

As for Xiaobai, regardless of whether she was dancing or not, she was definitely shouting.

However, contrary to Bai Ying's expectations, Xiao Bai's shout was an action on a completely different level.

"Wow————"

In the dark sea, a rapid splashing sound swept by.

As Little White screamed, it darted across the water's surface, splashing water everywhere as it ran forward. In the blink of an eye, it had run far away and disappeared on the other side of the sea.

next second.

"Wow————"

"Wow————"

"Splash splash splash splash splash splash splash—"

Amidst the trembling of the sea, a dozen or so gray-white deans, some carrying bright red cannons and others with planes like dark clouds overhead, chased after Xiaobai as if rockets had been activated from behind.

After a dozen or so deans with kidney deficiency flew past, the tremors on the sea surface did not stop, and even showed a tendency to expand further.

Amidst the thunderous roar, the army of Deep Sea Deans, composed of countless members of the Deep Sea Academy, emerged from the other side of the sea like a million iron hooves in legend, leaving nothing but desolation in their wake, and chased after Xiaobai.

As far as the eye could see, the surrounding waters were filled with greyish-white Abyssal Commanders. They deployed their ship equipment, raised their guns high, and the carrier-based aircraft roared continuously in the sky, while torpedoes bombarded the surface one after another. Amidst this overwhelming force, every now and then a few Abyssal Commanders would misstep and step on the heels of those in front of them, falling onto the water, only to be mercilessly trampled over by the Abyssal Commanders behind them.

The deep-sea academy's army chased for several minutes before disappearing from this area of ​​water.

The water gradually calmed down.

Several deep-sea deans, covered in footprints, lay unconscious on the surface of the water, their tattered clothes falling from their plump bodies, revealing their smooth, fair skin beneath.

……

In the dark waters, Little White was running and fleeing.

As she fled, she would occasionally turn around to look behind her, but each time she did, all she could see was the Deep Sea Dean, who filled her entire field of vision.

several hundred?

several thousand?

Tens of thousands?

A few hundred thousand?

Xiao Bai said that he doesn't have time to count right now.

As Xiaobai swept across the sea, the Deep Sea Deans who were still wandering in the sea joined the army behind Xiaobai one after another. They swayed their bodies and chased after it. At this moment, the eyes of those Deep Sea Deans seemed to be only on Xiaobai. It seemed that they would never stop before they flattened Xiaobai.

—Is this a deep-sea amphibious assault ship... or a zombie horde...?

Xiao Bai was heartbroken.

Before entering this sea area, Xiaobai did think that there might be some Deep Sea Deans here, but she never expected there to be so many!

Case solved.

The case is solved! The case is solved!

Although it's not entirely clear how the Deep Sea Deans in this sea area came to be, Xiaobai finally understands the Deep Sea Deans' reactions in Chapter Six.

So all those academy directors of the deep-sea institute were squeezed out of this area!
