The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 118 - Depth of Sea IV
That made the monster know its location, Xin Chen immediately released his arrow back at the Electric Eel before him. From three shots he could only hit one. Due to this very urgent situation and also now his body has been fully visible to the monster.
Xin Chen tried to release three more shots. Nothing hit the target's electric eel and behind it the Eel monster had created five lightning balls at once. Each head that grew on his body each created one and directed the attack towards Xin Chen.
As if unwilling to know with what was going on behind him Xin Chen was still focused on those two Electric Eels. Several shootings he ended up shooting right in their heads and directly inserted it into the space ring. At the same time, two of the five lightning balls hit his body and just exploded.
The sound of the explosion echoed loudly, even sounding up to the stealth nest above the sea.
Elsewhere the Electric Eel King was pacing around in his nest, he looked extremely anxious about something and still continued to walk like that for quite a long time. It was the shock down there that made him worry, he knew very well what was going on and was worried about the decision he had taken.
And also not so long ago, the thump of lightning explosions was heard five times in a row echoing on the seabed. As the Electric Eel King looked at the lair river of the Electric Eels and remained unseen Xin Chen his mind became increasingly chaotic.
What he saw was steam and foam from the river water that seemed to boil from below. It signaled that the situation down there was already too hot and if left unchecked, Xin Chen could have died.
"Damn, it's my fault. How could I forget to tell him not to look for trouble with the demon." his voice sounded bitter, The Eel Monster is not the same as those who nest in this mountain. He prefers to live alone under the surface of the sea.
But because there was no food in the place where he lived, then every time he starved the monster would ring something that naturally called the Electric Eels into place to be eaten.
While being preoccupied with his own agitation, it turned out that the Lightning Fox had already completed its meditation and was addressing the demon question mark.
"I feel a foreign power in this place, and also... Where is Xin Chen? Didn't I tell you to introduce him to the lightning and fire element in this place?"
"A-a-aaa... That's... I gave him some kind of test to test whether he was worthy of the pure power of lightning and fire..."
"So? Why is your face so pale?"
The Electric Eel King moved agitatedly, his supposedly monstrous face now more like a starving cat before the Lightning Fox. He inching from his place, approaching the Thunder Fox in a face full of regret.
"I had him capture twenty Electric Eels in this place.."
"Isn't that an easy enough task? And why hasn't he come back yet? I don't think the Electric Eel is too hard to catch unless it's too stupid and it's catching shells on the bottom of the sea there."
The Electric Eel King wanted to talk but his words were stuck in his throat, while reading this situation and understanding it turned out that the Lightning Fox did not know the matter of the Eel Monster living on the seabed there, he was getting scared to tell.
"Where did Xin Chen go?"
"He's after the Electric Eels on the ocean floor..."
"Why did the eels go to the sea? Isn't their nest here?" asked the Lightning Fox then, The Electric Eel King took a heavy breath. "Hisses.... I think the Fire Hedgehog and the Frogs of Leaves have already told you about this matter...."
"What problem?" The Lightning Fox urged, after a long time without seeing the Electric Eel King realized the fox was getting more grumpy and especially when it came to Xin Chen. The fox had even deliberately emphasized the aura around him in order for the Electric Eel King to bring out any information he had.
"So like this... Lately not knowing where it came from, a Monster Eel appeared in the depths of the sea. He summoned the eels here to his place and upon returning here, their numbers were greatly reduced."
"The monster?"
"Yes, when I wanted to get Xin Chen to catch the Electric Eel he suddenly called out to the eels, because I told him not to take into account whether it was dangerous for him or not. After all, that kid beat me and he just left. But..."
"You don't take into account one other thing?" The Lightning Fox could guess the way the Electric Eel King thought, judging from his anxious face as well as the huge bang that was previously heard below already illustrated a bit how powerful the monster meant by the Electric Eel King was.
"Yes, Xin Chen remains human. He would have trouble breathing under the sea as well... That monster, the more he released lightning explosions the more the water temperature would rise. If it's too severe it can make the skin peel or even melt down there." The explanation of the Electric Eel King came to a halt, he tried to look at the face of the Lightning Fox and prepared to be killed.
Regarding the monster itself is still mysterious, the Electric Eel King accidentally found it after several suspicious sounds and due to the drastic reduction of the Electric Eels in this place. He could not at all twitch in front of the Eel Monster, not to mention that the lightning explosion had already chased him and what happened then was that the temperature in the water was like boiling his body.
And in times like these he had only realized how fatal his mistake was to let Xin Chen enter that terrifying seabed.
But when the Electric Eel King looked at the face of the Lightning Fox there was no sign of anger or panic there, the Electric Eel King was a bit confused and decided to speak again. "Do I have to go downstairs to save her?"
Not hearing the answer, the Electric Eel King again made a sound. "All right, I'm going downstairs. It's my fault I told him to get into the monster's lair."
"No need." The Lightning Fox replied then, his words made the Electric Eel King open his mouth in astonishment. It was as if questioning whether or not the Lightning Fox really wanted to kill its own disciple or was too unconcerned about his safety.
"Hey...?" The Lightning Fox passed away from before him, he returned to his original place while waiting for Xin Chen to return. While the Electric Eel King is haunted by thousands of questions in his head. For a moment he thought there was indeed nothing to worry about for Xin Chen's safety, but since he felt this was his fault, it wouldn't hurt to see the circumstances below.
