Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 269 - 9: The Truth about Sea God_2

One couldn’t be eaten by cataclysmic creatures unless they had already amassed a considerable amount of resistance, otherwise, they would be dissolved before their life could regenerate.

This method of deliberately being eaten could only be applied to creatures like the Great Tengu, which were relatively large, with the upper limit being disaster-level boss units.

If the creature was twice the size of the Great Tengu, this method couldn’t be used either.

...

...

After experiencing the process from the Dragon-horned Shark eating the Great Tengu—the Ghost King Fish eating the Dragon-horned Shark—the Mountain-moving Fish eating the Ghost King Fish—the Sea-controlling Leviathan eating the Mountain-moving Fish.

Tang Xian finally waited for the last link.

This time, no creature in the depths had swallowed the Sea-controlling Leviathan.

Even in the deep sea, the Sea-controlling Leviathan was a very powerful being.

The creatures capable of killing it numbered only seven.

It was the servant of one of these creatures, now on its way to its master’s palace.

There were nearly ninety Sea-controlling Leviathans in the entire ocean.

They could only operate in the deep sea, and most of the time, the Sea-controlling Leviathans wouldn’t pay any attention to the surrounding matters.

Only beings that were also disaster-level boss creatures, capable of battling a Sea-controlling Leviathan, inhabited the deep sea.

These beings were also aware of the Sea-controlling Leviathan’s master, and avoided making an enemy of this kind of monster.

Only in a certain month of each year, these leviathans would become exceptionally active.

But they would not leave the deep sea.

Just like some creatures chose to evolve legs and limbs and crawled ashore.

Others chose the deep sea, and the Sea-controlling Leviathan was such a being.

Tang Xian silently calculated the time; after roughly four hours, he finally felt the enormous trembling sensation come to a stop.

During this process, he had crawled out from the bones of the Mountain-moving Fish and witnessed another scene.

Most of the creatures had been melted down to nothing but Soul Crystals.

But, based on the sheer number, there were still bones everywhere, or rather skeletons, though they were also gradually acidifying and decaying.

Tang Xian had never seen such a sight before.

Before, when hiding in the remains of the Mountain-moving Fish, he was like a frog in a well, blind to how vast the stomach truly was on one hand.

On the other hand, he had not seen how many other creatures were inside the stomach.

It wasn’t until now that Tang Xian had some understanding.

This place could be described as a burial ground hell.

Aside from those massive skeletons, what was even more astounding was the vast number of Soul Crystals.

The dazzlingly radiant Soul Crystals emitted light from every corner.

Gazing at these Soul Crystals, Tang Xian merely took a quick glance and roughly judged that there must be hundreds of creatures’ crystals.

He even saw some purple and even orange crystals.

Apart from the Great Tengu, there were the Soul Crystals of several other disaster-level boss creatures. If these were brought to the Human World, it would be a huge fortune that could buy an entire fortress level.

Tang Xian shook his head and quickly recovered from the shock of the scene.

"No wonder there is light in what should be a pitch-black stomach... It’s all from the vast number of Soul Crystals," he murmured.

This answer startled Tang Xian as well.

The fact that the visual obstruction wasn’t significant in such a vast and dark space was enough to indicate how many Soul Crystals were gathered here.

Being closest to the Great Tengu, he first picked up its Soul Crystal.

His clothing had been reduced to tatters due to the acid, barely hanging on.

But Tang Xian had always kept the Extreme Gauntlet in good condition, as it was his treasured escape tool.

He placed the Soul Crystal of the Great Tengu in the gem slot on the back of the Extreme Gauntlet.

A black light instantly covered the gauntlet. Tremendous energy surged, instinctively making him feel danger.

Feeling the enormous energy and vibration coming from the back of his hand, Tang Xian immediately turned off the Extreme Gauntlet.

"Seems it won’t work... This initial version of the gauntlet was the right idea, but mineral alloys can’t be used for the material. This gauntlet can’t temporarily accommodate the Soul Crystals of disaster creatures, or it will overload," he reflected.

He placed the Soul Crystal in his item pouch and prepared to collect other disaster-level boss Soul Crystals.

There were enough Soul Crystals here to form a small mountain, but since his item pouch had limited storage space, he could only choose the best ones to take.

Tang Xian counted, and there were as many as eleven disaster-level boss creature Soul Crystals.

Together with the Great Tengu’s, his Extreme Gauntlet could be set with two full pairs.

But plans can’t keep up with changes, and as he picked up the Ghost King Fish’s Soul Crystal and was about to extract the orange cataclysm-level Soul Crystal from the brain of the Mountain-moving Fish, another incident occurred.

It was as if the world had been flipped over. The Sea-controlling Leviathan seemed to suddenly want to expel something.

All the bones, the Soul Crystals, everything inside the stomach, began to tilt towards a certain place.

The massive force of the stomach’s contractions pulled Tang Xian with countless Soul Crystals back towards the esophagus.

He shot the hook claw of his Extreme Gauntlet, swinging through the suddenly overturning space, amidst the remains of various creatures.

In the distance, Tang Xian saw light.

A light different from the dim glow of Soul Crystals.

It was strong like the light on the seashore.

His mind raced, and he quickly thought of a possibility.

"The Sea-controlling Leviathan... is actually just a porter?" he speculated.

Once that thought crossed his mind, Tang Xian immediately understood.

These Soul Crystals couldn’t be corroded in a short time, and today was coincidentally the day of the Sea God festival.

All the islands would cast various animal corpses into the sea to appease the Sea God’s anger or to seek the Sea God’s blessings.

And for the past few hours, the Sea-controlling Leviathan had been making its return.

This being, the largest creature Tang Xian had encountered so far, was actually a servant of the Sea God!
