Chapter 595: Chapter 595: Hunting Season (Part Two)

This was already a deep-sea area, virtually devoid of light, but the huge creature began to emit a faint green glow as it approached Xiang Kun and Mr. Liang.

At first glance, Mr. Liang thought the huge, slowly writhing tentacles in the water were some kind of “Blood-eating Creature” evolved from a giant squid.

But upon closer inspection, he realized something was off. Those tentacles and the central body didn’t resemble squids or cuttlefish, which are soft-bodied creatures, but rather reminded him of echinoderms.

Could it be a mutated giant starfish?

Are echinoderms really capable of growing this large?

However, Mr. Liang soon realized that the huge barbs on the tentacles didn’t look like those of a starfish, but rather were more akin to sea snake tails.

Nevertheless, be it starfish or sea snake tails, they usually only have five or at most six arms or tails. Yet, the colossal creature before them had more than ten tentacles covered in large backward-pointing spines. It was truly horrifying.

Could this be the result of mutation?

Or, this creature might not solely be a sea snake tail but a collective of squids, jellyfish, seaweed, whales, and other marine creatures as well?

After all, he did not know what kind of “Blood-eating Creatures” it had consumed, what its usual blood source was, or its direction of evolution.

As for the prowess and killing power of this behemoth, Mr. Liang didn’t worry much. After all, he had seen Xiang Kun casually capture a “Giant raptor” as if it were a small hen, casually toss a “Crispy Pig’s Elbow” that disappeared midway to explode a “Mutated Lion.” Kun can even control the weather, manipulate lightning, and bend the entire forest to his will. So even if this so-called “giant sea-snake tail” looked terrifying and powerful, he wasn’t too concerned.

After all, he understood that during this outing with Xiang Kun, his only job was to “eat.”

If the sky falls, let the taller one prop it up. As for how to fight and how to engage, that was for Xiang Kun to figure out.

He had no intention of voluntarily dealing with “Blood-eating Creatures” as he had done in Africa. Why should he needlessly intervene when Xiang Kun could resolve matters with a single “Pig’s Elbow”?

However, unexpectedly, after catching sight of the “giant sea snake tail,” Xiang Kun stopped in the water, paused for two seconds, then suddenly turned around, vigorously waved his hand at Mr.Liang, and darted off in the opposite direction like a torpedo.

What’s going on?

Mr. Liang blinked, only to find the huge, barbed tentacles of the “giant sea snake tail” already coiling his way. He jumped, preparing to follow Xiang Kun’s lead and flee. But a surge in the water suddenly propelled him forward like a torpedo.

However, he didn’t manage to adjust his direction, instead shooting off headfirst, in quite a clumsy manner.

After swimming a great distance alongside Xiang Kun and finally stopping, a somewhat dazed Mr. Liang looked around for Xiang Kun. He then saw him hovering in the seawater, watching the faint glow of the colossal beast approaching from a distance, but not taking any action.

After waiting for a long while, once the “giant sea snake tail” drew closer again, Xiang Kun led Mr. Liang away once more, all the while moving toward the surface of the water.

After a few such close encounters, the “giant sea snake tail” seemed ready to give up. But at this point, Xiang Kun led Mr. Liang to within a hundred meters of it, controlled the seawater to carry some arthropods or other chordates, and disturbed the massive creature by depositing them onto its massive back.

This “giant sea snake tail” was a “mutant,” and had no need for regular food. Its blood-sucking targets certainly wouldn’t be these creatures with thick shells but little flesh and blood. Moreover, they posed no threat to it. However, this disturbance was indeed annoying.

And so it began to chase after Xiang Kun and Mr. Liang again. From the numerous large tentacles on its body, every root of the spikes began to spew out a red liquid, coloring the surrounding seawater red in an instant.

However, Xiang Kun, with Mr. Liang in tow, swiftly swam away. He controlled the seawater, slowing down the spread of this red color, keeping them safely outside this red zone.

After an unknown amount of time, the “Giant sea snake tail” was finally caught on the surface by Xiang Kun. They were now far from the place they had entered the water.

If one were to look from above, suspended on the surface, not far from Xiang Kun and Mr. Liang was what looked like a red, multi-legged small island – the “Giant sea snake tail”. As it neared the surface of the water, the glowing color around it changed from green to red.

Meanwhile in the sky, dark clouds gathered as thunder and lightning crackled, a storm was brewing.

Mr. Liang, floating beside Xiang Kun, wasn’t using any flying “Biological Components”. His body was surrounded by hundreds of tiny spheres, all emitting a faint white light. Just like Xiang Kun, he felt as if a layer of cling film wrapped around his skin, and a gentle force supported him, suspending him in mid-air.

Mr. Liang was somewhat awed. He knew well that it was far more challenging to make an object float, compared to making it fly at high speed.

Seeing Xiang Kun next to him whose divine-like appearance was further enhanced with glowing hair and divine lightning around his head, thinking about the grand spectacle that would occur, Mr. Liang felt a kindling of excitement within him.

He looked upward at the sky. The dense ominous clouds containing immense power and the dim sky gave him a feeling as if his physical form had disappeared, and his soul was floating with the atmosphere.

Even though he had witnessed the lightning storm controlled by Xiang Kun on Chongyun Mountain up close and experienced the grandeur, it was, after all, Xiang Kun showing him “samples”. Then it was not an actual attack, but this time was different… The “Giant sea snake tail” presented an excellent object to demonstrate power.

Looking at the giant “Giant sea snake tail” which had popped out of the water, the giant spines standing upright on its tentacles as a show of protest towards the two of them, without realizing what was about to happen, Mr. Liang felt pity for it, and an eager anticipation.

“Boom! ——”

Because they were so close, the thunderous roar of the lightning piercing through the air and the lighting almost occurred simultaneously.

Seeing the brillant lightning cracking down from above, Mr. Liang instinctively wanted to retreat, but his body couldn’t move at all. Only then, he realized that he was suspended by Xiang Kun’s power and the faint white light around him should protect him from the effects of the lightning.

Following the fall of a bolt of lightning, strikes of lightning descended one after another from the sky. The lightning storm concentrated on the “Giant Sea Snake Tail”, quickly extending out, forming a web of lightning.

It came fiercely and rapidly, and it disappeared just as quickly. Even before the “Giant Sea Snake Tail” had a chance to react, it was blown to bits.

Mr. Liang exclaimed: “So your previous actions were intentionally to lure it out of the water, so as to strike it with lightning.” Despite the awe-inspiring power of the lightning storm created by Xiang Kun, the “Giant sea snake tail” if it stayed underwater, would have been largely unharmed regardless of the intensity of the attack.

Xiang Kun, who was still surrounded by dancing lightning and glowing hair, seemed startled by his words and explained, “No… there are ways to deal with it underwater. I lured it up because we’ve never seen such a large ‘blood-eating creature’. I wanted to examine it properly in natural light, as we wouldn’t be able to take it back and study it at leisure.”

Seeing Mr. Liang’s round eyes gaping at him, stupefied with his grin stretched from ear to ear, Xiang Kun quickly pointed downward and said , “Now, it’s time for drinking blood. I controlled my power intentionally, but I may have overdone it. You need to seize the moment.”

The white light that surrounded Mr. Liang disappeared, and he fell from mid-air, plunging into the remains of the ‘Giant Sea Snake Tail.’ When it came to consuming other mutated creatures, Mr. Liang had abundant experience and didn’t require Xiang Kun’s guidance.

Looking down at the ‘Giant Sea Snake Tail’, which was sundered by the lightning, Xiang Kun felt a tinge of regret that he hadn’t been able to study it longer. Not having captured some video footage or records of it was really a pity.

Because according to normal understanding, these large-scale ‘Blood-eating Creatures’ should not exist at all.
