Chapter 342: Inconspicuous Ruins

Every few meters was one such monster on both sides of this abyss-like trench, so many that their numbers were uncountable.

With still an army of men behind him, more and more warriors managed to kill their way out of the sharks’ encirclement and hurried to where Xia Fei was at.

Gritting his teeth, Xia Fei directed himself down toward the trench.

He was floating downward, and it was due to the heavy Bloodthirsty Ice God that Xia Fei could sink down the trench faster.

“Xia Fei, this could be a mutant variant of eels. Look at the yellow diamond patterns on their bodies; even their fins resemble that of the eels. It’s just that their heads are really too big, probably over twenty meters long. The underwater environment is their territory; what do you plan to do?” Phantom asked.

Xia Fei remarked, “What else can I do? Charge at them, of course!”

With that, Xia Fei exercised Breath Control as he made his approach. The technique was able to suppress his presence on land, and in doing so, beasts and humans alike would be unable to detect him, though he was quite uncertain if it would still work while underwater.

When he was about to reach the edge of this school of eels, Xia Fei sped up, with Celestial Moon gripped tightly in his right hand, ready to attack if the situation called for it.

These extra large eels did not seem to react to Xia Fei’s appearance. Their heads were tucked in their respective caves, ready to shoot out and chomp on their prey. All they sensed from Xia Fei was a flowing water current, which was not at all tempting to these eels, so not one of them glanced over at him even once as he slipped right past them.

Xia Fei could not help but feel his heart beat in trepidation. After all, willingly entering this nest of eels, which numbered in the tens of thousands, was hardly a laughing matter.

The agility and speed that these eels demonstrated deep underwater was by no means something Xia Fei could beat even if he completely unleashed his speed ability. There really was no telling that he would be able to escape if they gave pursuit.

The warriors who were closing in behind Xia Fei were not as fortunate. The moment they entered the abyss-like trench, they were turned into eel food. It would often be a single man who was torn apart by over a hundred of these eels in the blink of an eye, leaving not even his bones behind.

Several of the powerful warriors did their best to put up a fight, managing to kill hundreds of the eels, but that was still far from enough, for there did not seem to be an end to the large eels which were all around them. It was as if they had all formed into large schools which tore away at their prey with great fervor.

Phantom could feel his heart shuddering as he watched the sea water above them slowly be dyed in red. “It’s a good thing that Breath Control could shield your aura and presence from them, otherwise you might very well end up just like them.”

Xia Fei nodded, speeding up his descent to the bottom of this water abyss.

Over time, the warriors, who had gathered above the trench, realized just how terrifying the school of eels was, and those who were a bit bolder buoyed by the trench as they discussed potential solutions to get past the monsters, while the more timid ones slowly backed up to the surface of the sea.

Time was money. Xia Fei began to use his quickest speed possible the moment he got a
