Chapter 722: Peekaboo Game
Three days later.
Han Fei had gone far into the outer sea area, roughly 30,000 kilometers, and the creatures he encountered were getting stronger and stronger.
Firstly, there were more and more exotic creatures.
This made Han Fei excited! When he was in the level-three fishery, it was like winning the lottery if he encountered an exotic creature.
But now? Exotic creatures ran everywhere, and one could be seen almost every thousand kilometers, sometimes even every hundred kilometers.
And sometimes they even appeared in cl.u.s.ters.
However, Han Fei had not discovered a creature with higher quality than exotic creatures.
It seemed that exotic creatures were already the best-quality creatures here.
However, after a few days, the number of Inferior Man-Fish and other sea monsters who were hunting Han Fei had decreased a lot.
Today, Han Fei had been swimming for a long time but didn’t find a single Inferior Man-Fish.
“Huh! Did the Inferior Man-Fish go to a party? Or are they wors.h.i.+ping the Sea G.o.d? Strange!”
The Hexagon Starfish grew worried. “The nearby creatures have become stronger. Let’s go back to the island!”
Han Fei scoffed. “Shut up. Haven’t you noticed that Little White’s swimming speed is getting slower and slower? She must have found Xia Xiaochan’s position. Let’s find her first!”
About half an hour later, Han Fei’s eyes suddenly lit up. He perceived a canyon. It was deep and serene, and right in the direction that Little White was heading for.
However, when Han Fei came to this canyon, his face changed.
The spiritual energy here was chaotic, and there was the smell of blood everywhere. There must have just been a battle not long ago.
Without considering much, Han Fei rushed directly into the canyon.
The sea here was quite turbid. Dust and sand from the bottom of the sea must have rolled up from the intense battle.
Besides, above the canyon, there were several cliffs, and sea sand flowed into the canyon like a waterfall, which looked spectacular.
Before he reached the bottom of the canyon, Han Fei’s perception had swept the entire area of about 40 kilometers.
He found that the bottom of the canyon was like a desert, with at least 20 corpses of Inferior Man-Fish and Red Demons littered around, as well as three Half-Mermaid’s bodies.
This was only above the sand sea, and several dozen meters below the sand sea, Han Fei also found the bodies of several more Red Demons.
Han Fei’s perception couldn’t go deeper. Although his perception range was large, it was extremely difficult for perception to penetrate matter.
Perception might be able to penetrate the sand and stone ground and go down tens of meters, and it would also work if there was a huge unsealed s.p.a.ce underground. But if there were sand and rocks all the way down, it became extremely difficult to go deeper.
For example, at this moment, hardly had Han Fei’s perception penetrated more than 20 meters below the sand when he felt that the difficulty was increasing exponentially.
Han Fei didn’t think Xia Xiaochan would hide so deeply, so he rushed all the way down.
When Han Fei pa.s.sed a Red Demon, he spotted a harpoon thrown not far away, and he couldn’t help but wonder.
Han Fei patted the Red Demon’s body casually and a Sea Swallowing Seash.e.l.l dropped.
“Huh! Why did the Sea Swallowing Seash.e.l.l drop so easily? Is there nothing inside?”
Han Fei scanned the Sea Swallowing Seash.e.l.l with his perception and found that there were a few kilograms of Spirit Awakening Fluid in it and more than 30 top-quality materials, which was quite valuable!
Han Fei glanced at Little White. “Girl, are you sure Xia Xiaochan is here?”
Han Fei frowned. It made no sense! Just like him, Xia Xiaochan wouldn’t let go of any spoils of war. It didn’t make sense that after killing so many Red Demons and Half-Mermaids, she didn’t even take their Sea Swallowing Seash.e.l.ls…
Han Fei found a total of 10 Sea Swallowing Seash.e.l.ls from these Inferior Man-Fish and Red Demons.
And then from the Half-Mermaids, he got 510 kilograms of Spirit Awakening Fluid, more than 5,000 catties of spiritual spring, and a total of more than 30 mid-quality and low-quality spiritual stones.
It had been several days since the battle in the Undersea Chimney. Besides, it was too far away from the Undersea Chimney here, so it was reasonable that there wasn’t much Spirit Awakening Fluid.
However, Han Fei was not at all happy.
There were only two possibilities that Xia Xiaochan killed the sea monsters without taking their Sea Swallowing Seash.e.l.ls…
The first was that Xia Xiaochan had no time or chance to do it.
That meant that the sea monsters were still chasing her.
If this was the case, Han Fei was confident that Xia Xiaochan had a way to escape.
But if it was the second…
What if these sea monsters and Sea Swallowing Seash.e.l.ls were all left to him by Xia Xiaochan?
Han Fei knew that Xia Xiaochan didn’t need Spirit Awakening Fluid. That was because, with Spirit Awakening Fluid, Xia Xiaochan would not be able to hold down her realm and would easily go mad.
However, if these sea monsters were left to him by Xia Xiaochan, then she must have known that he was coming. Besides, she also knew that he was nearby, or else she would not have grasped the timing so well.
Obviously, it hadn’t even been half an hour since these sea monsters died. If he started to chase her now, he should be able to catch up with her.
Han Fei immediately touched Little White’s head. “Let’s continue to go after her”
Needless to say, the death of so many sea monsters would definitely alert other sea monsters.
It would be okay if it was just Inferior Man-Fish and Red Demons, but there were even Half-Mermaids here. It was hard to tell if they had a life tablet.
After all, Han Fei didn’t know much about the living conditions of sea monsters. Did they have a large camp? Did they also have cities? All of this remained unknown to Han Fei.
Half-Mermaids were Heavenly Talents among sea monsters, so they should have life tablets.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been chased all the way just because he killed a dozen or so sea monsters a few days ago.
This time, Han Fei sped along at top speed, following Little White.
However, as soon as he rushed for more than 500 kilometers, he encountered two Half-Mermaids and three Red Demons but saw no Inferior Man-Fish.
“F*ck!”
Han Fei cursed quietly. I just wanted to find my girlfriend!
Han Fei said, “Don’t get in the way. I’m not interested in starting a war with you.”
However, the Half-Mermaid ignored his words and yelled, “Kill!”
Han Fei’s eyes turned cold and he activated the Majestic Mystic Spell. At this time, he was not interested in honing the Art of Invincibility. He just wanted to kill the opponent as quickly as possible so that he could continue to search for Xia Xiaochan.
He had Little Gold and Little Fatty attached to him and launched the Draw Technique against Red Demon.
Although the Red Demon had already reacted extremely quickly, his battle suit and harpoon were still broken in an instant. He couldn’t even parry a single blow of Han Fei.
After all, Han Fei was way different than before. His strength had improved a lot.
Besides, that Red Demon was not a peak-level Red Demon, so he was killed in a second.
Hum!
Han Fei held the Golden Seal and collided against a Half-Mermaid head-on. At the moment of the collision, a weird smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Within a radius of 300 meters, Infinity Water turned into countless knives and swept in.
The next moment, he activated the Ten Thousand Knives in One.
With Infinity Water plus Ten Thousand Knives in One, there were knives everywhere as far as one could see! Han Fei didn’t give these sea monsters a chance to escape at all.
White flames ignited on the Half-Mermaid. Among them, a Half-Mermaid discovered Han Fei’s terror and tried to escape. However, in the next second, a small golden seal was directly thrown at him.
The horrible force directly threw him onto the seabed.
Smoke and dust filled the area instantly. Within five minutes, the two Half-Mermaids and three Red Demons were all killed.
Putting away their harpoons and Sea Swallowing Seash.e.l.ls, Han Fei continued to rush forward.
However, less than a hundred kilometers away again, Little White stopped suddenly and then looked at Han Fei in confusion.
“What’s the matter, girl? What’s here?”
Han Fei looked around and found that this was an ordinary seabed, full of mud and sediment, but there were not many plants around. Except for some coral on the seafloor, there was nothing else.
But the next moment, Little White responded. Xia Xiaochan’s scent disappeared.
“Disappeared?”
Han Fei couldn’t believe it. What method did Xia Xiaochan use? Even Xiaobai couldn’t track her?
However, Han Fei couldn’t stop. There had been two battles here, and if he guessed right, other sea monsters would come over soon.
Han Fei immediately said to the Hexagon Starfish, “Open your gate and let me in.”
“Huh? No, Starfish doesn’t want to escape alone.”
Han Fei scolded him, “Find a place first, set up an array, and hide.”
…
When Han Fei came out again, the Inferior Man-Fish appeared in his perception.
Yes, the sea monsters were wary. This made it more than ten times more difficult for him to find Xia Xiaochan.
As a result, the search had come full circle. A day later, Little White found Xia Xiaochan’s direction again.
Repeating this process over and over again, Han Fei had been searching for more than half a month.
During the period, Han Fei finally confirmed one thing: Xia Xiaochan was playing peekaboo with him!
Every time when he was about to find her, he always found that there had been a big battle and the place was full of killed and wounded Half-Mermaids and Red Demons. Sea Swallowing Seash.e.l.ls and weapons were left to him.
This kind of thing happened almost every three days.
“Why is she doing this?!”
Han Fei was confused and had no idea what Xia Xiaochan’s purpose was.
Similarly.
The sea monsters were also at a loss. The sea monsters scattered in this sea area died a batch every few days and they couldn’t even find the murderer.
Somewhere in an undersea mountain range.
A Half-Mermaid said coldly, “This must have been done by human beings, who are trying to destroy our camp. This time, send 12 Heavenly Talents over and get to the bottom of this!”
