BXBX NOVEL Chapter 227: Leviathan
There is a way to do it, but it's very hard to do. Most of the time, the cost is not worth the reward."
"I see... In my world, the elders would just have a meeting, and the sect leader or patriarch would make the final decision."
"Believe me, I know."
MingYue's lips twitched, "I told you before, and I will tell you again, even though something is similar to my cultivation world, it's not exactly the same."
She felt annoyed by Alex's act as if he knew everything just because he had read it in a novel.
Alex let out a chuckle, "Alright, I am sorry, but you must admit a lot of the information is correct."
MingYue clicked her tongue, "Fine, some of it is right, but I stand by my case; if you enter my world thinking all of it is right, you will find yourself in big trouble.
By the way, have you ever met these authors? I wonder if some of them come from my world."
"I have met some; they are just normal people, though.
Hmm… but most novels get their ideas from other novels. If I trace who first made this kind of book, maybe we can get some clue."
"Try to look for them then, if my speculation is true, there should be a portal linking both our worlds."
"Maybe, but there's a possibility it's linked with another cultivation world."
"That is possible. Who knows how many human worlds exist out there."
"Many for sure, so what do you think now?
In the past, we wanted to dominate both our worlds, then unite them at some point, but now it's possible the human progenitor, Adam, is our enemy; in that case, being the one that represents our planet will raises a risk."
"I agree, for now let's just focus on hunting the progenitor's blood; we will think about this later."
MingYue gave a nod, then looked at the bangle on her hand. Its form had now changed into a silver bracelet with a unique pattern.
"Why don't you use this one for yourself?" She asked.
"At this point, the enemy probably already knows about me; might as well become the bait then," Alex replied.
The ship then continued going deeper as they exchanged some small talk. The area started turning darker the deeper they went, but with their progenitor's eyes, it didn't pose any problem.
They decided to go deeper first and avoid any cavern systems, as they didn't know where they would lead.
Only when there is no other way will they try to check out this place.
As they went deeper, Alex was looking at the tablet, watching video feed from the drone.
"You never told me you had this kind of stuff; can you get me more? It's better if it's weaponized," MingYue said as an idea started forming in her mind.
"Are you sure it's useful for you? You will go to the central region after this; I doubt a normal mana-infused bullet will be enough to hurt them."
"Didn't you make a deal with the hunter association? Can't you buy some good ones?"
"I can, but it will still raise some suspicion unless I make some deals," Alex replied, pondering the thought.
"Well, even this one is useful enough; I see it can turn almost invisible.
Just use some self-destructive methods so that, in case it gets shot down, it will be destroyed without leaving any trace.
Wait; I could also leave some trace on purpose."
"You want to use other sects as scapegoats? Isn't that Yang guy enough?" Alex asked, looking at MingYue with a questionable gaze.
"The more the merrier. And what's with your gaze?
I learned all these methods from the books and movies you gave me. It's not like I do this just for fun."
"You want to find out if anyone has a way to enter another world?" Alex asked.
As MingYue used many modern methods, if there were any cultivators that had knowledge about another world, they would certainly become suspicious.
"Vesa told us the progenitor leads their species; this means that on every planet where humans live, there should be someone who could report to them.
Even though we are too far away from them, I am sure the progenitor will not just let us go free."
"You are right," Alex replied, 'Does this mean that old fox has some connection with the human progenitor? Or at least a way to contact them?
I need to be even more cautious when I'm around him.' As he thought about this, Alex and MingYue turned their gaze.
They could feel something hostile approaching them.
They had now reached 1000 meters deep (around 3280 feet). The area around them was almost pitch black, with hardly any creatures to be seen.
A huge life force approached them at high speed.
Alex and MingYue leaped out from the yacht as they didn't want to destroy the ship. As the creature got close, four pairs of glowing eyes came into their view.
Its body started appearing; the size was gigantic.
With its size and speed, it created a huge wave just by its movement, pushing Alex and MingYue out.
"What the heck? A kaiju?" Alex mumbled.
"If anything, that looks more like a leviathan," MingYue chimed in.
BAM!
The creature whipped its tail, aiming towards them. Alex and MingYue dodged the attack, but the yacht was pulverized.
"The hell! It destroyed my protection array with brute force alone," Alex said with an annoyed tone.
He then took out his Embershift hammer, but before Alex could move, MingYue held him down. "Focus, Alex, there is more than one."
Alex looked at Vesa's map; soon, he could see more than a dozen life forces coming towards them.
He turned his gaze to the leviathan; the creature had four eyes and a serpent-like head.
It had two huge fins, and its body was covered in smooth silver scales. The leviathan then started making movements; its muscles contorted as its eyes sparked.
