At a depth of approximately 3,000 meters, instead of descending further, Bawang decided to search for the ghost-haired jellyfish. Sharing the same sentiment, Liu Yong also discouraged Bawang from delving deeper.
At such depths, the water pressure intensifies, affecting Bawang's combat capabilities to some extent. After a while, Bawang successfully located two giant and one tiny jellyfish.
The tiny jellyfish had a canopy diameter of approximately 6 or 7 meters, while the large one exceeded 12 meters.
Gradually closing the distance, Bawang aimed to launch a surprise attack on the jellyfish. Observing Bawang's intentions, Liu Yong recognized the inherent risks. Initiating a sneak attack that failed would result in a precarious one-against-two scenario. Despite Bawang equipping a new weapon and significantly enhancing his combat prowess, Liu Yong maintained a sense of pessimism concerning the two ghost-haired jellyfish.
Contemplating the potential outcomes, Liu Yong voiced his concerns,
[[ "Overlord, engaging in such a risky endeavour might not be advisable."]]
In response, the Overlord inquired,
[[ "Master, do you have any viable suggestions?"]]
Liu Yong offered a tactical proposal,
[[ " I suggest you move closer, allow them to detect your presence, and provoke them. Then, take advantage of your speed to employ a hit-and-run strategy. Since the two jellyfish vary in size, their speeds will likely differ. Once they separate, you can systematically eliminate them one by one. " ]]
The idea resonated with Bawang. His eyes gleamed excitedly as he remarked,
[[ "Master, you possess remarkable wisdom. I will follow your plan, provoke them, and initiate the attack." ]]
Bawang swam gracefully alongside the two ghost jellyfish, maintaining a distance of approximately two to three hundred meters from them.
Finally, their vigilant gazes caught sight of Bawang's presence in the vast expanse of the underwater world.
It's amazing how they become ruthless as soon as the Overlord appears. Their pursuit has an air of desperation, motivated by an unexplainable, terrible hostility.
Determinedly, the Overlord initiated the plan. The Overlord's strategy involved tactically keeping a safe distance from the colossal jellyfish.
As anticipated by Liu Yong, the smaller of the two jellyfish displayed a relatively slower pace, allowing the Overlord to outpace them gradually.
[[ "These two jellyfish certainly lack in intellectual prowess," ]]
[[ "Indeed, this separation might provide the Overlord with a valuable opportunity," ]]
Liu Yong thought accordingly.
If the jellyfish were to stick together and relentlessly chase after each other, the Overlord would find itself in a precarious situation. Dealing with a 1v2 scenario would pose significant challenges. Even if the Overlord manages to eliminate both jellyfish, it would require tremendous effort.
Within the Overlord's perception, only one jellyfish remained in focus, as Overlord had successfully distanced itself from the other. While leading the pursued jellyfish forward, the Overlord remained keenly aware of any advantageous openings.
[[ "I believe it just might work," ]]
Liu Yong communicates with Overlord.
Without warning, the Overlord abruptly accelerated, seemingly propelling itself towards the pinnacle of the ocean trench. The massive jellyfish, determined not to relent, gave chase at full throttle.
[[ " The opportunity has arisen! " ]] exclaimed Liu Yong, sensing the pivotal moment.
Seizing the perfect moment, the Overlord swiftly descended from above, targeting the colossal jellyfish's sprawling canopy. With an explosive burst of energy, the Overlord propelled itself forward, impaling the gigantic creature with its formidable 50-meter-long spear.
-CRUSH! CRUSH!
-CLAN!
In the blink of an eye, the seemingly vast distance of two to three hundred meters closed, and the spear's tip found its mark, piercing through the enormous canopy. Caught off guard, the ghostly jellyfish had no time to react.
ραпdαn૦νel A surge of vivid green liquid erupted, painting a large expanse of seawater in an ethereal hue.
The colossal spear penetrated at least 10 meters into the jellyfish's body, causing its flailing tentacles to droop weakly, appearing feeble and lifeless.
[[ " One strike, one kill! " ]]
A decisive sprint ended the giant jellyfish's life, achieving swift and gratifying retribution.
[[ " That was exhilarating! " ]]
Overlord exclaimed, finally releasing the pent-up anger that had fueled its relentless pursuit. The Overlord's sense of satisfaction was immeasurable after a long and arduous journey.
Overlord swiftly ascended, emerging from the trench, and temporarily rested the jellyfish body beside the trench.
Overlord swiftly ascended, emerging from the trench, and temporarily rested the jellyfish body beside the trench.
Overlord descended back into the trench with the massive spear, determined to locate the slightly smaller jellyfish. It reached the spot without spotting the enormous jellyfish, displaying its limited cognitive abilities.
The tiny jellyfish waved its long tentacles, steadily advancing towards Overlord.
Overlord stood firm, clutching the spear, observing the jellyfish's approach. As the distance between them diminished, the jellyfish closed in, wildly flailing tentacles almost grazing Overlord.
[[ " Go to hell! " ]] Overlord exclaimed, preparing for action.
[[ " Watch me unleash my sweep! " ]] Overlord boasted.
Overlord's grip tightened around the 50-meter-long giant spear as it swung out, creating a big fan-shaped arc. The tentacles, only slightly thicker than a thumb, snapped under the force of the sweeping spear.
-Boom!
In an instant, the jellyfish was left entirely barren.
The once sprawling canopy, adorned with numerous elongated tentacles, now lay broken and severed, with only a few remnants remaining.
Devoid of its tentacles, the jellyfish resembled a helpless creature on a chopping board, left only to be slaughtered.
Overlord impaled the jellyfish directly with the spear without bothering to employ the Sprint skill, effortlessly puncturing its canopy. Almost simultaneously, a copious amount of green liquid gushed out!
Overlord wielded a colossal spear and plucked the jellyfish from the trench depths, swiftly retreating to the side where the giant jellyfish lay.
[[ " Master, may I eliminate a few more, big Jelly **sh? " ]] Overlord requested.
The thrill had not yet subsided. Overlord had developed an addiction to slaying these jellyfish and couldn't bring itself to a halt.
Liu Yong replied,
[[ " Yes, but exercise caution and prioritize safety." ]]
With consent granted, Overlord once again ventured into the trench armed with the massive spear, descending to a depth of approximately 3,000 meters and proceeding with meticulous and unhurried exploration.
Within no more than ten minutes, Overlord stumbled upon the giant ghost jellyfish, but this time there were not just one or two, but five.
Two large ones and three small ones.
The canopies of the two more enormous ghost jellyfish exceeded 10 meters in diameter. In contrast, the smallest among the three smaller ones measured around 5 meters, and the remaining two had 6 or 7 meters diameters.
No orders were necessary from Liu Yong; the plan remained the same.
First, intentionally attract their attention and then employ lightning-fast maneuvers. Overlord leisurely swam ahead while the jellyfish gave chase, desperately trying to catch up.
Soon enough, within Overlord's heightened perception, only the two more giant jellyfish remained within range, while the three smaller ones had been left behind.
The speeds of the two more enormous jellyfish also differed, with one slightly outpacing the other. After Bawang enticed them for a few minutes, the two jellyfish gradually distanced themselves by three or four hundred meters.
-PERFECT!
Overlord refrained from swimming forward, executing a swift turn instead. Armed with the giant spear, approached the two jellyfish head-on, swiftly closing the gap.
Having already slain two massive jellyfish before, Overlord had acquired some experience in these encounters.
There was no need for sprinting techniques this time. Upon reaching the vicinity of the giant jellyfish, Overlord observed numerous tentacles undulating towards them. Seizing the opportunity, Overlord skillfully swung the massive spear.
[[ " CLANG! CLANG! " ]]
After several consecutive fan-like sweeps, the giant jellyfish's tentacles were eradicated, leaving it bare.
Sensing something amiss, the jellyfish attempted to escape, but it was too late.
-BOOM!
Overlord aimed the giant spear at the creature's colossal canopy, precisely piercing it.
