Chapter 1907: The Monster’s Head under the Water

The giant was aware of the little mice moving behind it, but even if it were to turn around now, the little mice would have moved somewhere else where the giant could not see. Zhang Xiaohou and Mo Fan were the two little mice that were making the Vast Sea Monster very uncomfortable!

Zhang Xiaohou’s strategy was actually working. The Vast Sea Monster realized it would only waste its time if it tried looking for the little mice. It simply ignored them since the damage the two mice could cause was almost negligible.

“Brother Fan, you should be able to take care of it yourself. I’ll place you down here.” Zhang Xiaohou dropped Mo Fan at a spot where he could move around freely.

“Yeah, go do your thing, but remember what I told you: there must be a reason why the creature hasn’t shown its true appearance yet,” Mo Fan said seriously.

“Mm, I won’t die so easily, especially after hearing what you said,” Zhang Xiaohou reassured him.

Zhang Xiaohou had goosebumps when the thought of being buried alongside Yu Ang’s remains crossed his mind. Only Mo Fan would come up with such an insane idea!

Zhang Xiaohou was flying at a low altitude, around twenty meters above the water. The waves were splashing wildly and hindering his vision, not to mention the waterspouts that were rising continuously from the sea.

“If it’s really trying to destroy the bridge, why didn’t it just show itself and ram into the bridge with all its might?” Zhang Xiaohou mumbled to himself with a confused face.

The depth of the strait was over a hundred meters. Currently, the Vast Sea Monster had only exposed its head, shoulders, and stomach above the surface. No one could tell if it had the strong limbs of a beast, or the body of a whale under the water.

“Why are there so many parasites? How disgusting…” Zhang Xiaohou looked at the water and saw countless black demon leeches wriggling around.

The demon leeches had spread across the water below the area of the creature’s body that was currently exposed. It was not the only species of parasites feeding off the creature’s body. The Parasitic Steam Grasshoppers that were flying out its gills had been a huge threat to him previously.

“Do I have to go under the water?”

Zhang Xiaohou hesitated. The only way to learn the creature’s true appearance was to dive into the water.

However, that was going to be extremely dangerous. Mo Fan already warned him they had no idea what the creature’s current form was. If it was only in its probing mindset, the rest of the body that was hidden under the water might be insanely powerful, so he would only get himself killed.

If he sacrificed his life just to see the Vast Sea Monster’s true appearance, Mo Fan was surely going to bury him with Yu Ang’s remains! He wondered if the risk was even worth it.

Zhang Xiaohou maintained his distance outside the Vast Sea Monster’s field of vision. The three Super Mages were attacking the creature at the same time. The light of Super Spells pierced through the thick clouds before lighting up the dim strait like miracles at work.

“I wonder if this is going to work.”

Zhang Xiaohou knew the Vast Sea Monster was focusing on defending itself from a Super Light Spell. He had to make use of the opportunity.

He stuck close to the water and suddenly gathered his focus to see through it, even though he could only see a few dozen meters deep. He used the Eyes of the Rock Demon and Petrify.

Zhang Xiaohou was observing the demon leeches under the water. He realized they were actually attached to the Vast Sea Monster’s skin, as if it was secreting the fat they were feeding on. The petrifying energy turned the demon leeches into a layer of stone on the creature’s skin and outlined the creature’s body.

Zhang Xiaohou did not believe his Petrify would be able to turn the creature into stone. He was only aiming at the demon leeches on its skin, like he was applying a layer of cement to the creature. Once the cement dried up, it would reveal the creature’s true outline.

The Vast Sea Monster was not bothered by the demon leeches’ death. When Zhang Xiaohou noticed the Petrify energy had covered quite a huge distance, he decisively drew the layer of stone toward him.

It was like a huge wax model. Zhang Xiaohou gasped when he saw the number of demon leeches that had been turned into stone.

“How big exactly is…” Zhang Xiaohou suddenly realized something strange as he was observing the outcome.

Zhang Xiaohou had only turned the demon leeches into stone. The result consisted of over a hundred demon leeches, yet they were not outlining the lower body of a creature…it looked more like a mask over thirty meters wide!

It was a head!

A head that resembled a sea iguana!

“How is this possible?” Zhang Xiaohou stared at the stone mask blankly.

To be more precise, it was the outline of a creature’s head and face. Zhang Xiaohou was utterly confused. Wasn’t the Vast Sea Monster’s head above the water? Why would its body under the water have another head and face?

The demon leeches had spread across the water to deny them a clear view.

More than half of the creature’s body was concealed under the water.

The waterspouts were adding to the chaos.

What was the Vast Sea Monster trying to hide?

The water began to boil as Zhang Xiaohou felt a strong heat surging at him.

Zhang Xiaohou finally realized something. He yelled at the Sound Mage far away, “There’s another creature under the water!”

There was a second creature in the water!

The Vast Sea Monster was using its enormous body to hide the existence of another creature below it!

The creature did not show itself and was reluctant to move around. It was even splashing the water around to provide cover for the other creature under the water!

The face and the head that Zhang Xiaohou had framed with Petrify belonged to the other creature, and its level was most likely on par with the Vast Sea Monster!

There was only one reason why the creature had stayed hidden all along: to destroy the Jimei Bridge!

The water became even more restless. Zhang Xiaohou lowered his head and was immediately thunderstruck

It was a huge shadow!

It was a head!

The creature hiding under the Vast Sea Monster was finally making its move. It was a sea monster that was able to make the water boil instantly!

Mo Fan’s voice came from above, “Zhang Xiaohou! Run!”

Zhang Xiaohou tried to escape, but the Feathers of the Wind Spirits were not responding. Even the Wind Spirits were trembling under the terrifying Aura of the sea monster under the water. Zhang Xiaohou’s speed had dropped to a fifth normal!

He activated his Wind Wings and tried his best to stay away from the water. The second Ruler-level creature under the water was too close to him. Its speed made Zhang Xiaohou feel like the moment of his death had arrived.

The Wind Wings were extremely slow. He was like a clumsy mosquito, struggling to escape from a lizard’s tongue…

Zhang Xiaohou looked at the heavy rain falling from the sky as his death was approaching. For some reason, he was not thinking about pain, his unwillingness to die, or his careless mistake. He was instead preoccupied with the ridiculous thought of his body being buried together with Yu Ang’s remains.
