Chapter 874 – Deep Sea Giant Shadow

　　The two figures dived straight down from the seawater.

　　Lin Qiye stretched out his hand and sketched something in the seawater, a moment later a huge magic array opened up, and the figures of several sea beasts surfaced in the seawater, there were squids with huge incomparable bodies, silver electric eels covered in electricity, and sea turtles that were smaller in size but extremely fast……

　　These sea beasts were suspended in the deep seawater, and they all bowed slightly to Lin Qiye before dispersing in different directions.

　　Among the many caretakers at the Asylum of the Gods, there was no shortage of “mysteries” that could move freely in the sea, and in this environment, they had higher mobility than Lin Qiye himself, so having them help with the search could greatly increase efficiency.

　　Lin Qiye beckoned to one of the boat-sized lantern fish, and the latter immediately swam underneath Lin Qiye and Jia Lan, carrying their forms on their backs as they swiftly swam through the seawater.

　　The reason why this lantern fish was chosen as Lin Qiye’s “imperial mount” was because its lantern’s shimmering light could repel seawater, no matter how deep they dived, they could create an environment that was no different from land.

　　The lantern’s yellowish shimmering light dispelled the darkness and seawater of the deep sea, and Lin Qiye’s mental power spread out like radar as he searched the surrounding waters.

　　”It’s so deep down here.”

　　Caran glanced downward and could no longer see anything other than the nearly pitch-black waters.

　　”The scope of this closed ring is much larger than I thought.” Lin Qiye replied.

　　Last night when he rode his somersault clouds to try to find a path out of here, he realized that this time closed loop covered a wide area, the fishing village’s footprint was only one thirtieth of it, and the rest was all seawater, but at that time, he didn’t dive to the bottom of the sea and didn’t realize that the depth of this place was surprisingly so astonishing as well.

　　In the silent sea, the lantern fish holds the figure of the two people, sinking downward at an even speed ……

　　At this moment, Calan was somewhat flustered.

　　The back of the lantern fish was a slippery arch, and there was no other place to stabilize the figure other than the lantern Lin Qiye was holding. Jia Lan stood on the lantern fish’s back in a hasty manner, relying on herself to barely maintain her balance, struggling to keep herself from falling, her hands quietly reached out as if she wanted to wrap her arms around Lin Qiye’s waist, but she was a bit embarrassed, her cheeks flushed, and she was at a loss for words for a moment.

　　Right at this moment, Lin Qiye’s palm suddenly reached out and grabbed Jia Lan’s slender wrist, wrapping it around his waist.

　　”Hold on to me, don’t fall.” Lin Qiye’s voice came out.

　　Jia Lan felt the warmth coming from between her arms and suddenly froze, and the next moment her face was like a burning cloud, instantly reddening to the roots of her ears.

　　”Huh? Oh …… good.”

　　She gulped, her heart pounding wildly, and after hesitating for a moment, she gathered her courage and simply took half a step forward directly, burying her face above Lin Qiye’s back as well.

　　The two of them just leaned together, riding the lantern fish, weaving between the deep seawater.

　　In the dim and extremely quiet environment, the only sound left in the air was the slightly ragged breathing of the two, and the atmosphere became more and more subtle.

　　Jia Lan pressed against Lin Qiye’s back and listened for a while, blinking her eyes and

　　”Seven Nights, your heartbeat is so fast.”

　　”You’re hearing it wrong.”

　　Lin Qiye turned his back to her, his cheeks slightly red, and feigned composure.

　　”Oh …….”

　　Jia Lan spat out her tongue.

　　Time passed minute by minute, Jia Lan was clinging to Lin Qiye’s back, her face flushed, she opened her mouth and was about to say something when Lin Qiye suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance.

　　”What’s wrong?”

　　”There’s something over there.” A faint light flashed in Lin Qiye’s eyes and immediately communicated with the lantern fish underneath her and sped off in that direction.

　　In the turbid and dim deep sea, a yellowish shimmering light rippled out, and as Lin Qiye’s duo approached, the outline of a giant shadow at the bottom of the deep sea was gradually outlined.

　　”A mountain?” Jia Lan looked up at the huge peak that was blurred in the shadow and spoke in surprise, “How is there such a big mountain in the sea?”

　　”No, that’s not a mountain.”

　　Lin Qiye’s spiritual power swept over the black peak, his eyes were incredibly grave, “That’s a corpse …… of a giant beast.”

　　Jia Lan froze and carefully looked up, as the lantern fish approached, she had been able to see the details of this giant shadow little by little, black scales as huge as fishing boats densely covered the surface of the giant shadow, like ancient and sharp prismatic knives, even though it had been washed by seawater for an unknown number of years here, it still didn’t have the slightest bit of decay and festering.

　　Several sea beast caretakers roamed around this giant shadow, communicating with their thoughts:

　　”Crap, what is this thing?”

　　”? How come you still speak human verbiage?”

　　”Oh, this is what Chief Li taught me, it’s quite smooth.”

　　”…… This guy is too big, isn’t he? What realm should it be in life?”

　　”I don’t know, anyway, I’ve never heard of the existence of such a thing, the most powerful ‘Mystery’ in our part of the sea before was only one-fifth of its size.”

　　”How did such a fellow die here?”

　　”……”

　　Their words were inaudible to Calan, but Lin Qiye heard them clearly, he frowned slightly and asked with his mind:

　　”Does the size of a sea beast have anything to do with the level of the realm?”

　　”Pretty much.” The lantern fish underneath him replied, “The ‘Mysteries’ in the sea are not the same as the ‘Mysteries’ on land, generally speaking, the more powerful the ‘Mysteries ‘, the more terrifying its size is, this is the result of natural selection ……”

　　”What about it? What realm is it roughly in?” Lin Qiye pointed towards the corpse of the giant beast in the deep sea.

　　”It?” The lantern fish pondered for a moment, “I’ve never seen a ‘mystery’ of this size before …… Perhaps, it’s already beyond this level.”

　　Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Are you saying …… that this thing, might be a god?”

　　”It’s possible.”

　　Lin Qiye fell into silence.

　　At the bottom of the sea around the fishing village lay the corpse of a suspected god realm sea beast……. Could it be that this is the reason for the existence of the Time Closed Circle?

　　Lin Qiye rode the lantern fish and quickly circled around the corpse of this giant beast Even with Lin Qiye’s current realm and all of his spiritual power spread out, he was unable to get a full glimpse of the corpse of this giant beast ……

　　Suddenly, Lin Qiye looked like he had discovered something and his pupils suddenly contracted.

　　”What did you discover?” Jia Lan asked suspiciously.

　　Lin Qiye rode the lantern fish to the front of the giant beast.

　　In the center of the giant beast’s hideous face, a single eye was tightly closed, and below it, a decapitation mark about six or seven meters high was deeply carved into its body, with broken bone fragments scattered messily around it like its teeth.

　　Lin Qiye stretched out his hand and pointed to the deepest part of that chop mark.

　　”There …… is a living person there.”
