Wang Xiaoqiang and Qiao Zhi, that's probably unprecedented. And it might never happen again.

Anyway, feeling an underwater earthquake is quite a unique experience.

After straightening his clothes, Wang Xiaoqiang controlled the Spirit Spring Submarine with his willpower and continued to tango under the sea. Now, they had entered a forest on the ocean floor.

People only know about forests on land, but they are unaware that there are also forests at the bottom of the sea. Moreover, the sea floor forests cover a much larger area than those on land, and the trees there are thicker and taller, with many that would take ten people to wrap their arms around.

Furthermore, the sea forest that the pair had now entered was deep and serene, with marine life everywhere—large and small. There were even fairly large sea snakes, which, instead of attacking upon seeing humans, scrambled away in fright. This reaction was somewhat unexpected, but their wariness and timidity saved their lives. Otherwise, they might have ended up dead at the hands of Wang Xiaoqiang.

As the Spirit Spring Submarine delved deeper into the heart of the forest, the marine life became more abundant and the creatures doubled in size—some were several times larger.

Suddenly, a huge shadow appeared ahead. It was as big as three houses and didn't look like a fish or a snake, but rather a fearsome beast from land. The shadow was indistinct among the dense foliage ahead, but judging from the surges in the surrounding water, it was likely an extremely large animal.

"Little Qiang, what is that?" Qiao Zhi asked apprehensively upon seeing the shadow.

"I'm not sure, let's go take a look."

"Don't, Little Qiang, let's not go. That animal is too big, I, I'm a bit scared..." Qiao Zhi said nervously.

Wang Xiaoqiang was not afraid. He was a cultivator of the Void Returning Realm, so would he be afraid of a sea beast?

"It's okay, trust me." Wang Xiaoqiang hugged Qiao Zhi, then propelled the Spirit Spring Submarine forward with his willpower.

The closer they moved toward it, the more they realized the sea beast was still quite far away. It was like how mountains seem close when viewed from a distance on land, but as one approaches, they find there is still a great distance to cover and that the mountains are even taller than previously thought.

So, as they drew nearer to the sea beast, they realized just how immense it was. When the Spirit Spring Submarine was less than fifty meters from the creature, they saw that it was twice as large as it had appeared earlier, towering as high as a two-story building and as big as four or five houses.

Moreover, it looked somewhat like a dinosaur, though this was not an exact comparison since they didn't know what dinosaurs actually looked like. In any case, it was extremely large and terrifying, with a mouth as big as a door.

"My God, that big?..." Qiao Zhi screamed, trembling uncontrollably, and almost instinctively cried out, "Little Qiang, let's go, hurry, or it'll be too late!"

Indeed, at that moment, the sea beast had noticed them and turned its body their way. This turn set off a swaying motion in the surrounding water, resembling the outset of a tsunami. The sea beast turned its eyes, as big and red as water jars, to look directly at them.

"Go, it might be too late," Wang Xiaoqiang said and immediately enhanced their defenses.

After noticing the pair, the sea beast immediately launched an attack. Opening its mouth, it took in a large gulp of water and then expelled two jet streams from its nostrils, which, unfettered by resistance in the water, shot towards Wang Xiaoqiang and Qiao Zhi like two water arrows with pinpoint accuracy.

Qiao Zhi was petrified.

Seeing the water arrows coming, Wang Xiaoqiang was not negligent. He quickly cast two Spiritual Energy Shields in front of them.

The next moment...

Boom, boom.

The water arrows collided with the Spiritual Energy Shields. The arrows disintegrated, while the shields remained intact.

"Is that all there is to it!" Wang Xiaoqiang laughed and said with ease.

"Roar~~ Roar~~..." The sea beast let out two wildly enraged roars, which sounded more like it was speaking, because its roar was winding, high at times and low at others, unlike the roars of terrestrial wild beasts.

Nevertheless, exactly what it was roaring, Wang Xiaoqiang could not decipher. Of course, Qiao Zhi did not understand either.

After the sea beast roared twice, its two crimson gigantic eyes shimmered with a different kind of light. However, seeing that the two humans still had no intention of leaving, it actually charged straight towards the Spirit Spring Submarine—or, more precisely, at the two of them.

With the movement of its gigantic body, it was like an undersea volcano erupting, the ground shook, and the seawater surged like a tsunami.

Seeing the huge body of the sea beast about to trample over them, Wang Xiaoqiang released a Fire Element Spiritual Blade to slash at the gigantic sea beast.

Boom~

Immediately, the huge Spiritual Energy Sword struck the body of the sea beast, tearing open a massive gash; blood spurted out, staining a large swath of seawater red, which looked very eerie.

After being injured, the body of the gigantic sea beast abruptly halted, clearly perceiving the danger and not daring to rashly charge forward any longer.

Then, peculiarly, the body of the sea beast actually began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Qiao Zhi, already petrified, had all her five senses, those being eye, nose, mouth, ears, and heart, stopped functioning. She was like a person in a nightmare, falling into tremendous fear, evidently stunned by the sea beast's overwhelming pressure.

Upon seeing this, Wang Xiaoqiang immediately infused Fire Element Spiritual Energy into Qiao Zhi's heart and channeled Water Element Spiritual Qi into her kidneys.

A person's courage depends entirely on the heart and kidneys, which is why people say they are scared out of their wits, and those with kidney deficiency often experience palpitations, indicating the connection between the kidneys and a person's emotions.

As the two types of Spiritual Energy were infused, Qiao Zhi quickly broke free from the fear.

Suddenly, a strange voice arose, "I didn't expect to encounter cultivators here..."

"Who's speaking?" Qiao Zhi, who had just freed herself from fear, was startled once again. Had it not been for Wang Xiaoqiang's Spiritual Energy bolstering her courage, she might have been frightened senseless again.

Wang Xiaoqiang was also startled. When he looked up, he saw the mouth of the giant beast opening and closing as if it was speaking, which made him feel astonished. This sea beast, it could actually talk.

It was truly amazing!

Of course, what's considered amazing was from the perspective of Qiao Zhi. As for Wang Xiaoqiang, what hadn't he seen? Be it the fierce beasts in the Thai Sinkhole or the Ox Horn Beasts in the Heavenly Lake of Xinjiang, although they weren't as big as the current sea beast, they were definitely wondrous. However, the fact this sea beast could articulate human speech still took Wang Xiaoqiang by surprise.

In surprise, he also felt a surge of excitement since, at the very least, he could communicate with it now, and through it, learn more about the situation on the ocean floor.

Therefore, Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Though you are a sea beast, you can speak human language, which shows you are no ordinary creature, and your vision is quite unique, able to recognize me as a cultivator at a glance. Now I ask you, what is your name?"

"I am called Sea Dragon..." The sea beast spoke in a buzzing voice, "I have lived in the depths of the sea for more than two thousand years..."

"What, you've lived at the bottom of the sea for more than two thousand years?"

"Yes," the sea beast said, "I began cultivation a hundred and eight years ago. We sea beasts can start cultivating after a thousand years."

"Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, I still believe you," Wang Xiaoqiang said. "But how do you also know about cultivators?"

"That's easy. Since you can come down to the seabed, other cultivators can also reach the ocean floor. They come here looking for treasures... Sometimes they also hunt us sea beasts..."
