Chapter 770

Gu Ding did not know where the other party was hiding, and Neptune did not seem to have any intention of warning him because he knew it was unnecessary.

Gu Ding pretended not to know he was being watched and continued to dive deeper into the sea. However, the person in the dark did not make a move and seemed to be waiting for something.

"Be careful. There's a group of carnivorous seaweeds not far down. It'll be troublesome if you get entangled with them," Neptune suddenly reminded.

Gu Ding increased his speed as he dived deeper. It only took a moment for him to reach the area covered by the seaweeds. He grinned, and his figure gradually faded away. Even his aura quickly disappeared.

His ability to hide his tracks was taught by Hackett before they entered this arcane realm. Everyone in the crew knew how to do it. The purpose was to avoid unnecessary fights and save everyone's energy.

Almost as soon as Gu Ding disappeared, a shadow quickly landed not far away.

"Huh, where's he?" The shadow looked around and was a little surprised when he did not see Gu Ding.

He looked a little hesitant when he saw the dancing seaweeds not far away. "Don't tell me he's hiding in the seaweeds? I wonder if there's any hidden danger in the seaweeds … "

"You'll know once you go in and take a look!" The shadow heard a voice behind his ear. At the same time, a huge force hit his buttocks. His entire body was like a cannonball that could not be stopped as he rushed forward and plunged headfirst into the seaweeds. He was instantly entangled by the seaweeds and dragged into the depths.

"That's a dirty trick." Neptune obviously saw the scene and could not help but laugh.

"I just kicked his buttocks to teach him a lesson, but I seem to have used a little too much force." Gu Ding grinned.

"You did it on purpose."

"Whatever you say." Gu Ding did not refute.

"That guy's not weak. The seaweeds don't seem to be able to trap him. I guess it won't take long for him to escape." Neptune also saw the situation inside the seaweeds.

The shadow's true body was finally revealed. It was True Demon Tribe's Erting. He looked a little disheveled at the moment. The cloak that covered his entire body was almost instantly torn apart by the seaweeds, leaving only a few pieces of cloth. If he had not focused on protecting his lower body, it would have been exposed long ago.

However, even though he was in a sorry state and the seaweed had left wounds on his body, those wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Obviously, it was just an ordinary flesh wound, not enough to threaten his life.

"Why don't you wait for him to come out and then kick him in?" Neptune suggested with a smirk.

"He fell for it once, but it won't be so easy next time. Moreover, there was no need to waste time on him. It's better to dive to the bottom of the sea and search for more treasures. "Gu Ding did not care too much about the other party's situation.

"Aren't you curious about who that guy was?" Neptune couldn't help but ask.

"Does it matter who it is?" Gu Ding retorted.

"That's true. Your goal isn't to hunt others, and you've already vented your anger with that kick just now. It really doesn't matter who it is … "Neptune smiled a little awkwardly.

…

Not long after, Lilliath and the others entered the second layer of the sea one after another. As the number of people entering the sea increased, the sea finally started to become lively.

Lilliath happened to appear next to a monster's nest. It was the nest of a deepwater Black Python. The deepwater Black Python that was taking a nap soon realized that its territory had been invaded by humans, and it pounced on Lilliath.

However, a purple-gold light flashed in Lilliath's eyes, and the deepwater python instantly became obedient. It allowed Lilliath to stand on its head, and it dived deeper into the sea with Lilliath.

Another person who was attacked by a monster was Becca.

It was an extremely ugly gigantic fish with a huge mouth. It opened its bloody mouth and pounced on Becca, trying to swallow him whole.

Unexpectedly, Becca opened his mouth as well, and strange musical notes surged out. The giant fish, which was nearly a hundred meters long, instantly rolled its twelve eyes and floated upward with its belly facing up. That guy had been knocked unconscious by Becca's soundwave.

The rest of the Gu Ding Pirates were also attacked by the monsters. Due to the high density of monsters in the second layer of the sea, almost everyone who entered the second layer of the sea was attacked by monsters.

Gu Ding was no exception. In less than an hour, he had slaughtered nearly a hundred monsters. As for the monsters' carcasses, they were all devoured by his Swallow the Heavens and Devour the Earth divine power, turning their flesh and blood energy into his own.

What Gu Ding did not know, however, was that not long after he left, Erting broke free from the seaweed. He changed into a new set of clothes as soon as he came out of the seaweed and began to dive quickly.

He dove for more than half an hour and killed many monsters that blocked his way, but his speed gradually slowed down.

"No, that human kid didn't choose to dive in the same place. I didn't see any monsters' carcasses along the way, and there wasn't even the slightest smell of blood. After tricking me, he must've chosen to escape and find another place to dive … "

Thinking of this, Erting stopped diving. A palm-sized disc appeared in his hand. The disc projected a sphere with a diameter of about twenty centimeters. A blue light dot was displayed in the center of the sphere, and the other parts of the sphere were scattered with a few sparse blue light dots.

"That True Demon Clan guy escaped from the seaweed. I didn't notice it before, but he brought in a device that can build a detection network on its own. Once it's activated, it can build a spherical network with a radius of about one light year. The coordinates of all humanoid creatures within the detection range will be displayed in real time, "Neptune said to Gu Ding.

"Even if he used that thing, he wouldn't be able to find me. I've long since left the detection range of the detector," Gu Ding said with a smile.

"Of course I know that. I want to tamper with his detector …" Neptune smirked. "Lure him to a nest with a large number of demon beasts nearby."

"That sounds like a good idea." Gu Ding grinned as he listened to Neptune's plan.

What Erting did not know was that he had been tricked again.

He had only raised his head to confirm his position when he suddenly noticed a blue dot on the detector that was very close to him.

"Strange? Why is there a blue dot all of a sudden? And why is it not moving? " Erting thought it was a little strange. The positions of the other blue dots on the detector were changing, but this new blue dot was the only one that did not move. "Could it be that someone found a treasure and stopped at the same place …"

Thinking of this, Erting's eyes lit up, and he dove in the direction of the blue dot.
