CHAPTER 390: CHAPTER 369 BATTLE OF THE FISH SHOALS

Shi Nian’s little heart pounded wildly.

Nine-layered Sea Domain.

Every layer of the Sea Domain was a killing field.

The bottom three layers, especially, were top-tier killing fields that only those in the Mahayana Realm could enter.

Oh my god, isn’t this world a bit too terrifying?

No!

They just keep fighting!

Will they not go extinct?

Shi Nian expressed her doubts, and Xiao Tong looked at her with some disdain: "Do you know how vast this ocean is, and how numerous the sea creatures are? The number of creatures killed is not even comparable to the number of new sea creatures being born. In fact, it’s precisely because there are too many creatures and too few resources that killing continues unabated. If the number of creatures were to decrease and resources were enough to go around, perhaps it wouldn’t be this way anymore."

Xiao Tong added: "Moreover, the creatures in the bottom three layers should not be engaged in this kind of blind killing. The top predators there will have their unique rules. I can’t probe into that for now; when you go to the Third Layer, we’ll find out."

Shi Nian grimaced.

She was just a little cutie who loved peace, suddenly thrown into such a vicious world, how could she bear it!

"Host, buck up! With me, the invincible system, three years to come out of the mountain, ten years to be unbeatable, ruling the sea is no problem," Xiao Tong tried to encourage her.

"Thank you for your suggestion." Shi Nian said involuntarily: "But I choose not to listen."

She flicked her tail and burrowed back into the cave.

Three years to come out of the mountain, ten years to be unbeatable?

What’s the rush?

She could just complete system tasks steadily - isn’t that enough to level up?

Is it not just a bit slower?

It’s safer that way.

Xiao Tong watched Shi Nian with such a resigned expression and felt no ripples of emotion in her heart anymore... she was used to it...

Shi Nian carried on just barely scraping by until she reached level fifteen - that’s when she faced her first major crisis!

There were two groups of fish fighting, and unfortunately, it was taking place near her sanctuary cave.

Shi Nian listened to the commotion outside, shivering with fear and daring not to venture out.

She silently prayed that the two groups of fish would finish fighting and clear off quickly. It looked like they wouldn’t be able to fight for much longer anyway.

One group of small red fish was already blood-stained, their bodies so smeared with blood that it was hard to distinguish it from their natural color.

The other group of small white fish had the absolute upper hand and was close to annihilating the small red fish.

Once they finished fighting, they would probably leave.

That’s what Shi Nian was hoping for.

But then!

Fate struck a blow once again.

Amidst the fierce battling, the corals concealing her cave entrance were successively blasted away, and the Barrier Shi Nian had set up began to teeter ominously.

Finally, amidst Shi Nian’s terror-stricken expression.

The Barrier shattered!

She... was exposed.

The battling swarms of fish all paused, their gazes collectively turning towards Shi Nian.

Shi Nian swam out cautiously, nodding at them in a very friendly manner, then turned around to slip away...

However.

Unexpectedly.

The leader of the small white fish darted towards Shi Nian like an arrow.

Muttering something in its mouth.

Shi Nian vaguely caught some of it...

Seemingly things about needing to nip troubles in the bud, not allowing any exposure and so on?

Before she had time to ponder, the small white fish charged at her, spiraling with its sharp spikes aimed at her.

Shi Nian was shocked!

Such a fierce attack!

It seemed that today she couldn’t avoid a major battle.

She clenched her teeth, gathered her Spiritual Power, and with great effort... released a bubble.

A bubble?

The group of small white fish stopped chasing after the small red fish and started laughing uproariously at Shi Nian’s ridiculous performance.

The leader of the small white fish showed a disdainful expression, its spikes aiming directly at the bubble.

And indeed, it successfully pierced the bubble.

However.

He couldn’t pull it out anymore.

The little white fish tried and tried, but the spear stuck in the bubble just wouldn’t come out.

"What kind of trick did you use!" The little white fish gurgled at Shi Nian.

Luckily, Shi Nian was also a fish, and this time, she managed to understand this strange language.

Shi Nian said as a matter of fact, "How could I possibly tell you about my trump card?"

"Quite capable indeed. Sadly, this is as far as you go!" The little white fish bellowed and actually gave up the horn on its forehead, forcibly pulling itself out.

Then, the scales on its body transformed into blades and were fired at Shi Nian.

Shi Nian made an effort and spat out another bubble.

The bubble grew bigger and bigger, forming a wall.

It effectively blocked all the incoming blades.

The little white fish’s expression changed, trying to retrieve the blades.

But then he discovered...

The blades were stuck again.

Shi Nian couldn’t help but blink.

The previously imposing little white fish was now left with a bare body and a forehead still with a bleeding hole.

emmm...

It was quite amusing.

Shi Nian rarely laughed, except when she couldn’t help it. But she was kind, so she chose...

To turn around and laugh.

Seeing Shi Nian’s shaking body, the little white fish completely lost his mind.

He bellowed, "Gather, kill this little blue fish first!"

Instantly, a bunch of little white fish charged over in unison.

Shi Nian’s heart skipped a beat!

What started as a fair duel had turned into a melee!

That’s not fair!

She hurriedly spat out a few more bubbles. The bubbles were fired in fleets, soon after, all the little white fish were trapped in the bubbles.

The little white fish leader struggled for a bit but couldn’t get out, and watching Shi Nian’s face, his color changed.

This group of fish, in the Double Sea Domain, was considered a local hegemon!

How could it be that an unknown little blue fish that appeared out of nowhere managed to trap all of them so effortlessly?

The little red fish, who had been mercilessly hunted down to dead ends, were also stunned.

The formidable white fish swarm that chased them with no way to heaven or earth was just trapped like that?

Shi Nian shook her tail and slowly swam up to the white fish leader.

She also heaved a sigh of relief in her heart.

Luckily, luckily, after all the hard work, she had won.

But this was too risky; next time, she had to be even more cautious.

Maybe she shouldn’t just stay in the same place; she should establish a mobile residence instead.

After reflecting on herself, Shi Nian swam up to the little white fish and opened her mouth.

According to the rules of the sea.

These spoils of war were naturally meant to become her nourishment.

The white fish’s expression changed, he couldn’t help but blurt out, "Stop! My white fish clan is immensely powerful, if you dare to devour me, you will..."

His words were cut off before they could all come out as he completely lost consciousness.

And his body turned into the purest Spiritual Power, absorbed by Shi Nian.

Experience Points suddenly increased by quite a bit.

"You dare kill the leader, you are simply..."

Absorb.

"Spare us! Otherwise..."

Absorb.

Shi Nian absorbed along the way, turning these little white fish into Experience Points, and then, she thoughtfully looked towards the group of little red fish.

emmm...

Are they actually not running away?
