After being underwater for an hour, Su Wen also felt a little tired, but it was not without gains. He had already started to understand and master "natural breathing". At the beginning, he still needed extraordinary power to use natural breathing, but as time went on,
As Su Wen used the secret technique more and more, he discovered some tricks that could be used to make tricks.
There is a delicate balance between the exhalation and inhalation of "natural breathing". While consuming power, it accumulates new extraordinary power in the context. Of course, Su Wen, who has just used this ability, has the power generated when he breathes.
Not as much as the power consumed.
But the amazing thing is... the power consumed by "natural breathing" is only part of the extraordinary power of the Taoist context, but the extraordinary power that can be given back is available in every context.
Each context can receive a weak feedback of power, but cumulatively, it is more than what he consumes.
This also means that using the "natural breathing" technique in an air-isolated place can enhance extraordinary power in all aspects. Without this crisis, he would not have discovered the secret of "natural breathing" until this crisis.
"We should be swimming to the Ghost Island soon, right?"
It was difficult to identify the direction underwater, and Su Wen did not dare to dive too deep. He could only use his strength to sense the direction of the underwater mountains and find the location of the ghost island. He vaguely sensed a huge shadow in front of him.
It should be the underwater part of Ghost Island.
"Dad! Danger! Dad! Danger!"
At this time, the voice of the Earthly Branches sounded deep in Su Wen's consciousness.
"What?!"
Su Wen was startled by the voice of Earthly Branches and almost choked.
At this moment, Su Wen discovered that he could see the deep and dark sea water with his eyes, and he could see far away.
With vision adjusted by the Earthly Branches, one can naturally see more deep sea scenes, and even see the seabed.
"...Fuck!...cough cough cough..."
When Su Wen saw the scene in front of him, he trembled all over and almost lost his rationality and became an out-of-control person.
He originally thought that the shadow where his breath was locked was the underwater part of Ghost Island.
But it was then that he realized that he had made a serious mistake in his judgment.
That's not some ghost island!
It's a huge underwater creature.
Because Su Wen is very close to it, from his position, he can't even bring all the creatures into his field of vision!
The creature is like a huge piece of meat, with a gray-brown body and many octopus-like tentacles, and each tentacle has countless densely packed eyes.
In fact, Su Wen discovered that after swimming for a long time, he was actually within the range where the creature's tentacles could attack at will.
"Dad...don't make any sound!"
The Earthly Branch said tremblingly: "If we wake it up, we will all be eaten!"
"..."
Hearing the voice of Earthly Branches, Su Wen felt even colder in his heart.
You know, in the past, when encountering danger, Earthly Branch would encourage him to commit suicide in various ways, but this time Earthly Branch reminded him to be careful, which fully illustrates the terrifying nature of the creature in front of him.
"What's this?"
Su Wen allowed himself to calm down slowly. He was also very surprised as to why Di Zhi discovered the existence of the creature only at this moment. Judging from Di Zhi's reaction, Su Wen was sure that Di Zhi did not trick him.
This can only mean that the level of the weird person in front of him is too high, and the existence of the other party cannot be discovered even if the Earthly Branches are not close.
Fortunately, Earthly Branch warned in advance. If Earthly Branch didn't know anything about it, Su Wen might have swam into its mouth...
"Dad..."
Earthly Branch's voice was a little desperate: "Mention its name in front of it, and it will wake up immediately!"
"Okay...just pretend I didn't ask!"
Su Wen followed suit and immediately stopped talking about the monster.
Earthly Branch's performance was enough to make him understand the horror of the mountain of meat in front of him.
"Stay away from it..."
Su Wen tried his best to integrate himself into the current and swam farther away.
But at this time, Roshan seemed to be aware of strange existences around him. Many tentacles stirred around him unconsciously, driving the water flow, rolling up some algae around the seabed, and rushing toward Roshan's location.
But when the debris was still about a hundred meters away from the meat mountain, it suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
"This is……"
Seeing this scene, Su Wen felt terrified.
Debris will naturally not disappear out of thin air.
They were just torn to pieces by this weird mysterious force, and then washed away without a trace by the current.
"Earthly Branches...if we..."
"Yes, Dad, we will also be reduced to ashes...if we get caught in front of it!"
After receiving the affirmative answer from Earthly Branches, Su Wen lost all the last bit of luck in his heart. It was just that the strange tentacles kept stirring, but his efforts did not have a very good effect, and the water flow still took him in the strange direction.
"Dad! You can't use extraordinary power!"
Earthly Branch realized that Su Wen was about to use "Words and Methods" and quickly interrupted Su Wen's spell casting.
Whenever Su Wen has a small amount of extraordinary power leaking out, he will be noticed by this strange existence in front of him.
When the time comes, not only Su Wen but also it will become this taboo food.
You know, what this thing likes most is to feed on taboo power. To it, Su Wen can only be regarded as a snack between its teeth, and the earthly branches are its staple food.
This is why the Earthly Branches are afraid.
"food……"
Just when Su Wen carefully broke away from the pull of a stream of water, a voice stirred in his mind.
In an instant, the calm seabed seemed to boil.
The tentacles on the meat mountain all moved together, grabbing in different directions!
What made Su Wen even more shuddered was that the eyes that were originally half-closed on Weird's body opened one after another and emitted a strange light.
In an instant, Su Wen felt like he was under the gaze of millions of pairs of eyes.
This impact was far stronger than when he first saw this weird beast.
"……Grass!"
Just in the midst of trembling, Su Wen cursed secretly, not like other extraordinary beings who were frightened crazy by this weird thing!
"Interesting... bugs!"
Weird stretched out a tentacle towards Su Wen. With just a slight stroke of the tentacle in the water, Su Wen felt a huge whirlpool sweeping him towards the meat mountain.
"escape!"
At this time, Su Wen no longer cared about whether using the secret technique would disturb the weirdo, he just wanted to get rid of the other party's control.
However, he only felt a slight excitement all over his body for a moment, and then the power of the secret technique was completely shattered.
"Is he... a so-called Confucian scholar?"
Su Wen felt like there was a sound drilling into his skull like an electric drill. When this sound appeared, more chaotic and noisy sounds also appeared.
It was like countless people were whispering, but each voice was filled with confusion and despair.
There were more unknown noises. After these sounds appeared, Su Wen felt his head twitching.
"Draw the ground as a prison..."
Su Wen trapped himself to prevent the strange power from causing irreversible damage to his mind.
"Oh... turns out to be a Legalist extraordinary... Hey, more than that... no wonder such a small and weak insect dares to come to my territory!"
"..."
Su Wen was in trouble and couldn't tell.
He didn't intend to break into weird territory. He was a victim from the beginning, but it just got worse and worse, and his experiences became more and more miserable.
And Weird raised a particularly slender tentacle. Even compared to Weird, it might only be equivalent to how a human looks at his own hair, but in Su Wen's eyes, this tentacle was bigger than the thickest cable he had ever seen.
A few laps.
The tentacles immediately caught Su Wen, who was swimming as hard as he could to get away from the attack. The tentacles immediately lifted him to a place less than ten meters in front of the meat mountain.
"It turns out he is an extraordinary historian...well...this is not easy to handle!"
The meat mountain suddenly trembled, many tentacles flapped randomly, and the entire water area stirred up waves.
"May I have your name?"
The strange voice became clearer than ever before, but it was particularly irritable, as if he was holding a fire in his heart and was venting it towards Su Wen.
"...Su Wen."
Su Wen responded.
He could hear that when Roshan realized that he was a historian, his attitude changed completely.
Although he didn't understand why this was the case, he guessed that it might have something to do with the historian's extraordinary uniqueness.
"very good……"
"I made an agreement with Master back then...not to eat Shijia Chaofan...and I made an oath with my real name, Dagon, so...you won't be eaten."
"Dagon..."
Su Wen's scalp felt numb again.
He knows the name.
This is the ancestor of the Dagon tribe!
It's just... this guy looks nothing like the Dagon tribe!
But whether it looks like it or not is another matter... It is normal for the creatures in Guixu to become alienated.
What makes Su Wen relieved is that... Dagon will not eat him!
Fortunately, I was saved!
Sure enough, other extraordinary paths are rubbish, Shi Jia is really awesome! Even the weird ancestor of Guixu will not embarrass him!
"So...you can choose the way to die."
Dagon quickly shattered Su Wen's joy.
"What?!"
Su Wen couldn't believe the voice he heard in his head.
"Damn it...you are playing with me!"
What's the difference between this and being eaten? You're going to die anyway!
"...Do you dare to kill Shi Jia Chaofan?"
Su Wen bit the bullet and asked, "Aren't you afraid that the person you made a pact with will come back and cause trouble for you?"
The information given by Dagon was too vague, and he could not determine which human sage the "master" whom Dagon had made a covenant with was.
Of course, Su Wen speculated that the greatest possibility was the Confucian saint who first discovered and explored Guixu.
"I won't eat you, how can I break the contract?"
Sure enough, Dagon was an extremely smart being and discovered and exploited the loopholes in the contract.
Su Wen said again luckily: "Then...is there any way of transcendent beings...that you can't hurt?"
"Why... do you think I will agree to Master's harsh conditions?"
Dagon almost went berserk at Su Wen's words.
Even though he was pressed down deep in the seabed and rubbed repeatedly by Master, and then dragged to the shore and beaten half to death, in the end it still relied on its unique life characteristics to persist, and Master had no choice but to let it go.
, signed a series of contracts restricting its tyranny.
But after thousands of years, many contracts began to lose their binding force, and Dagon began to return from the depths of Guixu, preparing for a big war.
Not long after returning to the vicinity of Ghost Island, Su Wen met him.
