2131 The strange forest (1)
The battle merits of hunting sea monsters would automatically fall under Tang Zhen’s name, even if it was in the deep sea.
God kingdoms were all built by the indigenous gods, so it was only natural that they could sense what was happening here.
If he couldn’t do this, the warship plan probably wouldn’t be able to be carried out smoothly. Tang Zhen was just taking advantage of the situation.
As for why the sea monsters were allowed to run wild, it was obvious that they were not powerful enough. Otherwise, there would not be a situation where they summoned believers on a large scale and passively defended against the sea monsters.
Tang Zhen was also certain of this point. Therefore, he had ventured deep into the sea alone. Otherwise, he would rather continue searching for the sea monster’s lair than waste his time.
The path he was taking now was far from land, and he was gradually going deeper into the unknown.
Tang Zhen didn’t have any accurate information on how big the divine Kingdom was, but he knew that there were many unknown areas.
The land where the Grand temple was located could only be considered the last safe zone. If it was also occupied by sea monsters, the entire God’s kingdom would fall.
It could be said that other than the safe zone, there was no other safe place.
Under normal circumstances, even if the believers were hunting sea monster nests, they would never go so deep.
In the vast deep sea, there was a great Terror hidden.
Even the strong believers could not guarantee that they could retreat safely after entering the deep sea.
Even in the Grand temple, there was no information about the deep sea, and the only information was vague.
Ordinary believers did not know about the situation there, and even if the strong believers knew, they would not say anything, as it would only harm their own interests.
High-level sea monsters meant a huge amount of battle achievements. Even if the strong believers could not get them themselves, they did not want others to take advantage of them.
Even the Grand temple did not support the believers to enter the deep sea, which was no different from seeking death. However, if the believers took the initiative to enter, the spiriters would not easily stop them.
The purpose of summoning believers was to hunt sea monsters, so naturally, the more they killed, the better.
When the old Believers died, new believers would appear. The Grand temple did not care about such a small loss.
As for outsiders like Tang Zhen, the Grand temple wouldn’t stop them from entering the deep sea. If they died during the process, they could only blame their own bad luck.
At this moment, Tang Zhen was still advancing unceasingly. He would kill any sea monster he encountered along the way without any hesitation.
Compared to the coastal waters, the speed of obtaining military merits here was indeed extremely fast, but the risks were also greater.
Unknowingly, a new situation appeared.
The sea water was extremely viscous and gave off a strong smell of blood, as if it was made of blood.
He waved his hand and sent out a stream of energy. It landed on the surface of the sea, but there were no waves. It even had a hint of elasticity.
It would be a wonder if there were waves in such seawater.
The surroundings were silent, and the ferocious sea monsters were nowhere to be seen. It was as if they had all escaped from this Sea area.
Tang Zhen observed for a moment before his body slowly descended and stepped on the jet-black Sea.
Tang Zhen’s expression changed slightly the moment he came into contact with the sea.
He found that he only needed to consume a very small amount of energy to stay on the surface of the sea, and it would not affect his normal progress at all.
The ocean water seemed to have a life of its own as it trembled slightly and rhythmically.
is there water flowing below, or is there a monster hidden under this sea? ”
From Tang Zhen’s point of view, this Sea region was more like a swamp. The sea water under his feet was like mush.
It was not a liquid but a solid. It was only because it had been soaked in seawater.
could it be that there’s still land in the depths of the ocean? ”
A thread of doubt flashed across Tang Zhen’s heart. However, he did not make any further guesses. Instead, he continued to advance forward.
After walking for a few more hours, Tang Zhen saw clusters of strange plants on the surface of the sea. The branches and leaves were all made of flesh and blood.
They were like living creatures, constantly twisting and shaking.
The sky was dark, but the flesh and plants emitted a bright light, illuminating the nearby sea.
At the top of the plant, there was a trumpet-shaped organ, and below it was a long and transparent pipe.
There were egg-like things inside the pipes. When they turned blood red, they would be squeezed out of the mouth of the pipe and fall to the sea.
From Tang Zhen’s point of view, these could perhaps be considered as the seeds of a plant.
After the seed fell into the sea, it began to roll around, and it was unknown when it would suddenly disappear.
However, he did not disappear into the sea. Instead, he was caught by something that looked like a tongue and pulled to the bottom of the sea.
Clearly, it was not as if there were no living creatures under the sea. This caused Tang Zhen to become cautious. He subconsciously released his mental energy to probe.
However, for some unknown reason, this seawater was actually able to block out mental energy probes. Even with Tang Zhen’s cultivation, he was helpless against it.
After discovering this, Tang Zhen became even more cautious and chose to fly close to the surface of the sea.
The plants on the surface of the sea, including the monsters hidden at the bottom of the sea, seemed to ignore Tang Zhen. They did not have the slightest reaction even when he flew past them.
Tang Zhen similarly did not wish to pay attention to these strange plants. He had a faint feeling that the situation might become extremely troublesome once he provoked these fellows.
The area covered by the strange plant was very large. Almost everything in Tang Zhen’s line of sight was covered with this kind of plant.
As they went deeper, Tang Zhen discovered that the size of these strange plants began to increase. Originally, they were only three to five meters tall. Now, they were easily twenty to thirty meters tall.
The appearance of the plant had also changed. It began to have some tentacle-like things, and even in the absence of wind, they were constantly swaying.
When Tang Zhen approached these strange plants, they immediately reacted. Their swaying branches extended towards Tang Zhen’s position as if they had been electrocuted.
The deeper they went, the stronger the reaction of the strange plants. If Tang Zhen was not flying in the air, he would have been attacked by these plants.
Tang Zhen, who was in the air, had a somewhat grave expression. This was because he discovered that as he continued to advance, the consumption of his energy was becoming increasingly serious.
From time to time, there would be a flash of light in the air. Although it looked beautiful, it hid fatal danger behind it.
This was a spatial crack that could cut and devour any object. The slightest carelessness could take a person’s life.
If it was in the outside world, these spatial cracks would not pose much of a threat to Tang Zhen. However, in a situation where his strength was suppressed, even he did not dare to take it lightly.
Right now, it was certain that the airspace above this Sea region was a no-fly zone. If it wasn’t for Tang Zhen’s powerful strength, he might have been forced to travel on the ground.
Tang Zhen was also unable to endure for too long. If he wanted to go deeper, he could only land on the surface of the sea.
However, those strange plants were filled with aggression. Once Tang Zhen chose to walk forward, he would inevitably have to fight with these strange plants.
The energy produced in his mental space was already unable to make up for the consumption of energy during flight. If this situation continued, it was very likely that Tang Zhen would be forcefully squeezed dry.
Once that happened, even a low-level sea monster could kill Tang Zhen.
Tang Zhen didn’t have much time to think. He directly descended from the sky and landed beside the strange plant.
Just as he had expected, as soon as his feet touched the surface of the sea, countless branches shot toward him at an extreme speed.
