Chapter 46: Deep Sea Demon Whale King
“Where should we go play next?” March 7th asked in distress.
Heaven Dou City, Star Luo City, and Spirit City had all been visited once, and along the way, other small cities and villages had also been somewhat understood.
It was the first time the pioneering time was so ample, yet they didn’t even know what to do.
“The more famous places on Douluo Continent that I know of include City of Slaughter, Sea God Island, Four Element Academy, and Extreme North Land. How about we go to City of Slaughter?” Meng Huaifeng suggested.
“Eh, no way, this lady doesn’t want to go to a place like that.” March 7th had a face full of disgust.
“I think the title of God of Slaughter sounds very impressive.” A Xing was somewhat yearning.
“But to obtain the God of Slaughter title, it takes at least half a year, and you have to kill many people and drink human blood. Can you accept that?” Meng Huaifeng asked.
A Xing shook her head like a rattle drum.
“A place as evil as that shouldn’t exist.” Zhu Zhuqing interjected.
“Someone thought the same as you, and then that place was destroyed. The evil spirit masters had nowhere to go and roamed everywhere on the continent, causing countless innocent people to die tragically.” Meng Huaifeng said.
“Ah? How could that be? Doesn’t Spirit Hall care?” Zhu Zhuqing widened her eyes.
Meng Huaifeng shrugged without answering. Spirit Hall? It was long gone.
The culprit only stirred up trouble without cleaning it up, perhaps thinking that leaving these scourges around better highlighted his sense of justice.
Spirit Hall had protected most people too well. Except for occasional small-scale wars from the two great empires, there were basically no events that provoked widespread outrage, making people take it for granted.
To the point that no one could imagine how dark the world would become without Spirit Hall.
Of course, the so-called darkness was for the lower classes. For the upper class, without Spirit Hall’s restraints, they could be even more unrestrained and do as they pleased.
The cities across the continent were basically similar, with not much difference. Wanting to change the scenery, after some discussion, everyone decided to go to Sea God Island.
After more than ten days of leisurely long-distance travel, the four finally arrived at Vast Sea City, the closest to Sea God Island.
Hearing they were going to Sea God Island, no one was willing to give them a ride, so they bought a broken boat themselves, and then Meng Huaifeng navigated according to the map detected by the mobile phone.
“Buzz buzz~”
A towering water column erupted from the sea surface, and a massive whale surfaced, like a small island. The twenty-plus-meter ship seemed minuscule in front of this whale.
Sunlight passed through the water spray from the giant whale, forming a rainbow in the air, dazzling and colorful.
“Wow, so spectacular.” March 7th lay on the side of the boat and exclaimed.
Zhu Zhuqing also watched intently, but she was accustomed to being taciturn. Even if her heart was no longer cold, she couldn’t change her habit of speaking little for a while.
“Is this thing tasty?” A Xing’s eyes sparkled as she swallowed some saliva.
“It’s generally believed that whale meat is not tasty.” Meng Huaifeng said.
A Xing stared unblinkingly at Meng Huaifeng, making him puzzled, before saying: “Really? I don’t believe it.”
“If you don’t believe it, you can try it, but such a big whale—you definitely can’t finish it, and the rest would be wasted. That’d be a pity.”
“I can just take a little meat without killing it. If it’s tasty, I can cut some more after it heals.” A Xing said.
“A Xing, are you a devil?” March 7th retorted.
“But such a big whale must be quite old. It might even be a hundred thousand year soul beast that has gained sentience.” Meng Huaifeng speculated.
“Has sentience? Then forget it.” A Xing was somewhat regretful.
In the Honkai: Star Rail universe world, there are countless races, including innumerable non-humanoid ones, but any with sentience are intelligent life. Whether other races eat the meat of other intelligent life is unknown, but the Nameless absolutely would not eat the meat of intelligent life.
“Hundred thousand year soul beast? No way, right? Then why didn’t it attack us? In this world, hundred thousand year soul beasts should be quite hostile to humans.” March 7th questioned.
Regarding hundred thousand year soul beasts being hostile to humans, the train crew had no bias. After all, spirit masters frequently hunted soul beasts to advance, so how could soul beasts not be hostile to humans? That wouldn’t make sense.
The train crew always viewed things very objectively and fairly.
“Maybe because sea soul beasts suffer less from spirit masters?” Meng Huaifeng said.
At that moment, the sky-blue sea surface under the boat rapidly darkened, as if something was rapidly rising from the seabed.
“What’s going on?”
The boat began to shake violently, and Meng Huaifeng asked somewhat blankly.
March 7th and A Xing reacted very quickly to the sudden situation. Of course, this was relative to Meng Huaifeng.
“First, give everyone a blessing!” March 7th used Six Phases Ice to add a shield to everyone.
Just after adding the shield, a dozens-of-meters blue water column burst from the seabed, and the broken boat bought for several thousand golden soul coins instantly disintegrated into fragments!
March 7th grabbed Meng Huaifeng and Zhu Zhuqing, floating in mid-air.
A Xing was much more reckless, pulling out the baseball bat and charging toward the sea surface. The moment a whale over two hundred meters long—several times larger than the previous one—surfaced, she solidly smashed a bat strike on its back.
“Moo~”
The giant whale let out a painful roar, its massive body twisting in the sea, splashing dozens-of-meters-high waves.
“You soul beast, why did you attack us out of nowhere?” March 7th furrowed her delicate eyebrows and shouted at the giant whale. If she weren’t holding one person in each hand, she would have already aimed the bow and arrow at it.
The giant whale’s strength was clearly extraordinary too. After taking A Xing’s strike, it only rolled a few times before quickly calming down.
“This is my sea domain. You dare to pass through my sea domain, and yet you ask why I attacked you?” The giant whale’s low voice came from the sea.
Only then did the four see the giant whale clearly. Its enormous body was crystal-blue, appearing incredibly pure yet carrying a terrifying oppressive presence. One house-sized eye seemed blind, while the other single eye coldly stared at the four.
Million Year Soul Beast, Deep Sea Demon Whale King!
Meng Huaifeng immediately recognized this soul beast. It turned out they had unwittingly passed through the sea domain occupied by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King while heading straight for Sea God Island!
No big problem. With thick thighs, they could stay calm.
“I… we didn’t know. Besides, we were just passing through and didn’t do anything. Why are you so overbearing? Attacking just for passing by?” March 7th said.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was somewhat stunned. This person seemed to be reasoning with it? It was the first time encountering such a person—truly… too ridiculous!
“Hahahaha!”
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King laughed, its laughter extremely grating, like the sound of a massive rock being smashed.
“Damn humans, whenever you appear on the sea, it’s either to hunt soul beasts and obtain soul rings or to go to Sea God Island. No matter which, since you’ve been caught by me, you all deserve to die!”
