Chapter 498 - Abandoned Settlement
A small tour told him that the bottom of the sea trench was not much wider than its entrance. About 500 meters in width.
He found nothing other than strange deep-sea creatures. There weren’t even any fish here.
He didn’t know whether he should move forward or back. After sensing the water current that appeared almost stagnant in this place, he chose a particular direction.
The walls beside him were slowly moving apart as he moved forward. Here, most things that moved were plankton, invertebrates, and arthropods such as shrimps. These creatures usually stayed hidden under the surface; they would show up when Angor disturbed their home by walking by.
After going for half an hour, he noticed that the oxygen in the water was getting denser.
When the trench grew even wider and had less sediment under his feet, he finally saw another building.
He couldn’t recognize the purpose of this one. It looked like a rock-based structure that sat on an isosceles triangle base about 20 meters high. A circle was fixed on the tip of the triangle, where two harpoons were placed over each other, creating a cross.
As Angor watched, the creature’s eyes suddenly became red.
“Oh crap. It resisted my spell.”
Fear was used to arouse the most fearful memory in one’s mind, but it took more than intelligence and a keen eye to resist the spell. In fact, creatures that were easily angered would usually do well against it.
Clearly, this unknown creature had such a simple mind.
Its eyes were literally glowing in rage. The monster roared loudly, and it shocked Angor into a daze for a while, allowing it to see a chance to charge and ram into Angor’s stomach.
It grew wilder at the smell of blood. Under the monster’s continuous and swift attacks, Angor’s lack of physical strength quickly put him at a disadvantage—he couldn’t get enough time to cast illusions. His only choice was to keep rolling and jumping out of harm’s way.
After some close-quarter wrestling, the monster accidentally stumbled out of the barrier for moving too fast. Using the valuable chance, Angor downed a bottle of Glowing Velvet Potion and chanted Spirit Mantra.
He saw the reflection of the monster’s eyes on the barrier. Earlier, he saw it coming from behind in the same way. Now, he could also use the pair of light dots in the dark to tell where the monster was.
The creature was sneaky but far from smart.
In his soul form, Angor carried his body and skillfully dodged several more attacks until he saw an opportunity when the creature opened its mouth wide to bite him.
A gravity bullet precisely sunk into its throat.
Bam!
The bullet exploded from inside the monster’s body and tore its body into scraps that scattered everywhere.
Angor sighed in relief, but before he could go and check the monster’s remains, he felt the ground shaking. In addition, there was something in the distance that made a lot of noise.
A noise that echoed in the depth of the sea.
When he looked toward the source of the ruckus, he saw a torrent of water heading right this way.
