Chapter 14: Another World
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This was no small surprise.
Ron tugged at the rope around him.
Realizing that it could be pulled apart easily, he heaved a sigh of relief.
He touched the thing that was wrapped around him. It looked like the tentacles of an octopus.
"Could this be the legendary Giant Squid?"
Squid King:
Invertebrate.
Subclass : Oegopsida
Subspecies: None
Suborder : Coleoids
Protection Level: Not Endangered
The Giant Squid lived in the deep waters of the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. It was about 20 meters long and weighed about 2-3 tons. It was the world's largest invertebrate. It was extremely aggressive and fed on fish and other invertebrates. It could also fight with whales.
Hawaii was in the Pacific Ocean, and Ron was deep in the ocean.
"My god, am I that powerful now? Can I fight a Giant Squid fight one-on-one now? This game is like eating with a whale."
What did it mean to eat each other? Some tiger whales and giant-toothed whales loved to eat invertebrates.
The Giant Squid was simply too big, especially the 2,000-meter-deep Giant Squid in the deep sea region. It was even more terrifying. Its body length could exceed 50 meters, and even whales could eat it.
"If I am trapped at the bottom of the sea, I will die sooner or later. This thing has a kind of living space, which is between 300 to 3,000 meters. If I bring it out of this range, this creature will definitely die.
With that in mind, he chose a direction with light and started swimming.
He only needed to differentiate between right and wrong.
If his body had moved upstream, it would have been better. If he had moved 300 meters above the deep sea and reached 200 meters, the Giant Squid would have died due to the change in pressure.
If it was more than three thousand meters from the bottom of the sea, the Giant Squid would definitely die. The depth was enough to squeeze the space inside the cells.
Chi…
Hearing a strange sound, the surroundings turned dark, and his skin felt numb.
"Oh no, this squid is releasing ink."
This was often the case when the Giant Squid encountered its natural enemy.
It did not expect that catching a small prey would be so powerful. He grabbed one of its tendrils and could escape.
A green corrosive liquid shot out from Ron's finger onto the Giant Squid's tentacles.
The squid's tentacles melted and evaporated.
The Giant Squid was in great pain as it frantically spat ink into the sea.
Everything around him turned pitch-black.
Ron knew that the Squid wouldn't mess with him anymore.
"There's no other way."
Ron looked. Below and above him.
They all had light sources.
One side of the light source was definitely fake.
Many of the people who had died from drowning had lost their cool because they had misjudged the direction in the water and had lost their cool in the moment of life and death. They had grabbed onto the seagrass and thought that they were above the water.
"At my current level, the limit is about ten thousand meters deep. I just need to keep moving downstream. If I come across a large amount of land, the opposite direction is the surface of the sea. At that time, it shouldn't be a problem for me to move in the opposite direction.
At that thought, Ron knew that he could not afford to waste too much time, or every second would be dangerous.
He chose a direction and dived down crazily.
Who knew how much time had passed.
Ron tensed.
"There's a house. Looks like I'm in the right direction."
"No—"
Ron realized at once that something was wrong.
There should not be houses underwater.
However, the next moment, he was stunned by what he saw.
It was indeed a large cluster of buildings, and it was very advanced.
"Heavens, is there really another world underwater?"
He was shocked.
As he moved forward, a strange power blocked him from entering.
At this moment, his chest felt slightly stuffy.
"This is unbelievable. This is a great discovery that will overturn human history."
"If we can take a picture of this place and bring it out, it will be a shocking discovery that will shake the entire scientific community."
However, Ron could not think too much about it. Even if he could break through the invisible wall, it would take a lot of effort.
What he needed to do now was to return the way he came.
"Eh—a shining stone."
He landed at the bottom of the sea, picked up a rock, and swam crazily upward.
There was a bit of light, so at least he knew if he had gone off course.
He quickly swam upstream and saw his surroundings. He memorized all the routes carefully.
Ron had a gut feeling that if he didn't memorize it, the next time he came here, it might not be so easy to find.
The underwater world that humans could explore was tens of thousands of meters, but they had never discovered such a magical place. What did that mean?
This meant that the magical place, or rather the magical underwater world, was a special existence. Ron had discovered this place by chance.
The vast ocean was about three times the size of the land. Humans had yet to fully explore the entire land, so how could they explore the underwater world?
Along the way, as time passed, the pressure changed, and Ron clearly felt like he was on a plane.
This feeling meant that he was heading in the right direction. The pressure was gradually decreasing.
Along the way, they had seen countless strange and dangerous creatures, and Ron had seen a hundred-meter-long Giant Squid. This had completely subverted human knowledge.
Ten minutes later.
Whoosh—
Ron burst out of the water, breathing heavily as he swam toward the brightly lit shore.
He saw many salvaging ships
He could not be more familiar with this type of ship. It was a ship used to salvage dead bodies.
"You guys don't think I'm dead, do you?"
Ron remembered the surfboard he had thrown away.
"Maybe they misunderstood."
"Eh, the body is over there."
Someone shouted from afar, shining a flashlight in Ron's direction.
Ron waved at the man.
"Oh, my God, he's not dead. Quick, quick—"
Soon, the boat rowed over, and everyone on board was shocked to see Ron's pale face.
"Quick, pull him up."
Ron got on.
The crew members were still shocked.
A fat crew member came over and said, "Ron, sir, you're a living miracle. You survived three hours under a huge wave. That's amazing."
"I held my breath, dived into the water, and played around. Who told you to try to salvage for me? I remember that you have to pay to find a ship that can salvage corpses."
All the crew members were speechless.
What did he mean by holding his breath and diving into the water to play? That was no different from courting death.
When they reached shore, Ron realized it was Smith who had spent the money.
He was a little surprised. This guy usually treated him like an enemy. Even after he died, he still spent money to salvage his corpse. It seemed like people with foul mouths might not have surely have bad hearts.
