CHAPTER 1004: CHAPTER 1006: DEEP SEA TERROR

In her mind, tens of thousands of words of conspiracy flashed by, and she didn’t even notice when Wen Wen put away the corpse and walked up to her.

Wen Wen rolled his eyes and flicked her forehead hard: "What are you thinking about? We’re done for the day, are you planning to spend the New Year here?"

Tao Qingqing covered her forehead, which was directly swollen and red from the flick, a force strong enough to crack a coconut.

She looked at Wen Wen with a grudge but suddenly felt much relieved; with such a nasty character, Wen Wen definitely couldn’t be impersonated by anyone else.

Iyeta was also curious about the corpse, but her imaginative brain led her down a completely different path from Tao Qingqing’s, seeing it as a tragic drama.

Not knowing about the mole on Wen Wen’s navel, she assumed this corpse was Wen Wen’s brother.

In her imagination, Wen Wen embarked on a journey of a thousand miles to find his brother, who disappeared for no reason, and upon finally finding him, discovered he had turned into an undead.

Heartbroken, Wen Wen had no choice but to kill his own brother, finally bringing the corpse here to allow his brother to die a human.

Maybe the reason he acts so unprincipled is to hide the pain of losing his brother...

"I’m done, can you take us to the exit? I won’t stay here any longer," Wen Wen said casually, swaggering over to Iyeta.

Iyeta looked at Wen Wen and softened her tone: "You can stay a few more days. The power of the Sacred Tree can erase your pain, allowing..."

"If I stay longer, are you going to pay me? Are you going to take me on a trip? Do you have internet here? What if I don’t want to use a dry toilet..." Wen asked a series of questions.

Iyeta: "...???"

She gritted her teeth, veins popping on her forehead: "Fine, I’ll send you back, just get lost, you scoundrel."

"One moment you’re telling me to stay, the next you want me to leave, crazy."

In the end, Wen Wen and Tao Qingqing were sent to the entrance by Iyeta, wearing a cold expression.

The Tidal Sea had long since finished eating those squid tentacles. Yuan Qiuya looked eagerly at Wen Wen, hoping for more ingredients.

In this secret realm, all life possesses intelligence, so they can’t be viewed as food, meaning she had to rely on outsiders for meat.

Wen Wen scratched his head, pulled a cow and a pile of seasonings from the Sanctuary, and placed them in front of her: "I also left you the grill, this should be enough for a few days."

Yuan Qiuya drooled over these items, a happy look on her face.

"Good buddy, come play often in the future, if you have trouble, you can find me."

Afterward, under Yuan Qiuya’s reluctant gaze, Wen Wen called out Ben Bo’er and Bapoer, and with Tao Qingqing, got back into the rickshaw.

Yuan Qiuya controlled the water flow, sending Wen Wen and the others all the way out of the secret realm.

Swimming in the deep sea again, the novelty had worn off, and apart from the proximity of precious ingredients, Wen Wen couldn’t be bothered to open his eyes.

In this deep, dark seabed, apart from the oppressive dark currents, there were more oppressive dark currents, rendering any sense of direction meaningless.

After swimming for a while, Wen Wen felt a bit sleepy and, noticing there was still more than half an hour left, decided to take a short nap.

But just as he closed his eyes, he suddenly opened them wide, cold sweat forming on his forehead.

Why did he want to sleep?

As a superpower user with True Sequence strength, why would he sleep halfway through the journey?

Was it because the loud snoring on the return trip was much more frequent, causing his drowsiness?

Yet what about the unease carved into his bones?

In the unlit deep sea, every place could potentially harbor horrific dangers, and Wen Wen dared not let down his guard, immediately glancing at Tao Qingqing beside him.

Tao Qingqing sat on the rickshaw, eyes open, as if everything was normal, but her breathing was very even, her pupils moved erratically, and a strand of crystal-clear drool hung from her mouth...

One look and Wen Wen could see that she had already fallen asleep.

Not only her, but Ben Bo’er and Bapoer pulling the rickshaw were also asleep.

Though asleep, the two Fishmen looked rather ferocious, their bodies still moving, pulling the rickshaw towards some place in the deep sea at an unknown speed many times faster than when they came.

The direction they advanced was not the Arctic town of Mosman but a place yet unknown, and how far they’d traveled before Wen Wen noticed was unclear.

If Wen Wen had fallen asleep earlier, he might wake up as a captive or, worse, inside the belly of a massive monster!

Wen Wen gulped, the Custodian Badge on his chest started getting hot, something that hadn’t happened since his powers increased.

He made a decisive move, snapping his fingers to collect Ben Bo’er, Bapoer, and Tao Qingqing into the Sanctuary, and he himself immediately entered the Sanctuary.

Before leaving, he used the ability of the Magic Mirror Gidro to leave a Magic Eye nearby.

Wen Wen hadn’t slept and fallen into the trap, so theoretically, he should still be safe, but he didn’t want to face any risks, so he left immediately.

Through the Magic Eye, Wen Wen could observe the situation at his previous location. For the first few minutes, he saw nothing, but then the water flow near the Magic Eye inexplicably became sticky.

No, it wasn’t sticky, but the near water ’came alive,’ making it difficult for nearby creatures to leave the area.

Then Wen Wen saw an incredibly huge shadow swim slowly through this area.

The silhouette was massive, and the Magic Eye couldn’t detect its shape or size, only knowing something gigantic passed by.

That gigantic shadow swam around a few times, eventually finding nothing, issuing a strange sound afterward.

"Ah... Wo... Uh... Yi..."

The sound was incredibly loud and carried eerie power; just hearing it made Wen Wen’s scalp tingle.

Since it couldn’t find Wen Wen, the shadow slowly swam away, disappearing into the depths of the sea.

Wen Wen just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw, through the Magic Eye, a house-sized eye coldly staring at it.

An indescribable power seeped from that eye, like icy, slippery tentacles rapidly climbing the link between Wen Wen and the Magic Eye.

Wen Wen’s hair stood on end, and he quickly severed his connection with the Magic Eye, causing the creature’s power to break mid-way and prompting a guttural roar once more.

The roar propagated far, far, far into the vast deep sea...
