The flying fish group's speed was also extremely fast, and in a short while, they were not too far away from Xue Yang. Xue Yang saw this and immediately dove into the water, although the flying fish group did not harm anyone, but with such a large number of them, if Xue Yang were to be drawn in, he would probably become dizzy from the crowd and would not be able to leave.
However, just as Xue Yang dove down, and the school of flying fish appeared above him, a low and deep beast roar came out. This beast's roar was like a lion or tiger, and was extremely tyrannical, its penetrating strength was extremely strong, causing Xue Yang's ears to go numb.
This was also the first time Xue Yang knew that this Flood Dragon actually liked eating flying fish, but Feng Feiyun thought that being strong in numbers would allow it to escape from the predators.
However, this was just a fault in the deep sea. There were hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands of meters under the edge of the fault. That was the most mysterious place in the vast sea.
Xue Yang was the same as well. With his current abilities, he couldn't possibly go so deep, or else he would definitely be courting death.
Perhaps there was something even more vicious and powerful than a flood dragon there …
The sea had undergone tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions of years of change. The rain contained countless treasures and secrets, and all sorts of ores were buried in a certain corner of the deep sea.
After looking around, other than the bright colored fish in the distance, there was nothing abnormal. Xue Yang removed the moss on the rocks, then started to explore the sea for valuable stones.
Relying on his diving skills, he had already been in the sea for almost three hours. Yu Dazong stopped the boat near where Xue Yang was diving, looking a little anxious.
"Eh? What's that?" Yu Dazheng continuously checked the surface of the sea to see if there was anything abnormal. However, he suddenly discovered a white, sparkling dot appearing on the surface of the sea. He hurriedly boarded the boat to take a look and his expression immediately changed.
These sparkling and reflective things were actually some of the minuscule scales and parts of the fish's corpse. It was clearly broken by the bite of a powerful creature, and now it floated up …
Looking at the sea surface, there were at least hundreds or thousands of them. Thus, he was sure that there must be some kind of powerful carnivorous animal under the surface …
It was very possible that they were the notorious animals of the great white shark.
Of course, Yu Datong did not know that the one under the sea was the legendary flood dragon. It was a creature that could instantly kill the white shark in his mouth. Otherwise, it would have turned and left without saying a word.
Fortunately, this flood dragon never went out of the sea, so in the past thousands of years, very few people had seen it, and very few people had been injured by it.
At this time, Xue Yang had already packed quite a few gems in his gunny sack.
Some of these gems were from the time when the previous ship died, and some of them were special stones from the seabed.
These items were not common in the market and their appearance was also very beautiful. Moreover, they also contained some precious elements. Although they were not pure, they were still of value.
In addition to the popular rock in the market, which was also mined from rivers or mines, there were very few things in the sea.
People like Xue Yang who set their sights on the seabed could not be said to be lacking, or there were very few of them. The main reason was that the cost of searching for rocks in the ocean was too high, and the danger level was too high as well.
Even if he hired an ordinary seabed worker, his annual salary would be at least a few hundred thousand. Moreover, this was not something that a single person could gather.
The stones that Xue Yang had collected were basically all small sized stones, with the maximum size of fifteen centimeters. Although he had cultivated with the Dragon Qi, he couldn't bring too many things with him.
After taking away the piece of useful stone, Xue Yang's eyelids jumped, he suddenly thought of a strange item, and under his curiosity, he arrived in front of the stone like object, he had long noticed the item when he was collecting the stones here, but it had always been far away from the item. Now that he was leaving, he wanted to see if the object had fallen onto the ground as a rock.
At first glance, it really looked like a big rock, but Xue Yang felt that this thing had an aura of life. At this point in time, it could not hide anything.
Walking up to this fellow, Xue Yang was extremely cautious. He picked up a rock and threw it fiercely at him.
With a "peng" sound, the stone fell onto the ground. The object did not move at all.
Xue Yang sneered. This guy had hidden it quite deeply, so he pretended not to know anything and went to pick up the stone that smashed onto it. At that moment, Xue Yang was just a meter away from it.
Just as he was about to lean over to pick it up, as expected, something unexpected happened. A wave of water ripples came over, and Xue Yang could only see from the corner of his eyes that the large rock had moved, and the place that he had smashed down earlier was precisely this fellow's head. Now that he had entered his attack range, that fellow revealed his true nature, opened his stone-like mouth wide, and extended his neck to bite Xue Yang.
Xue Yang had already prepared himself long ago. As expected, this fellow was a dangerous ambusher, but fortunately, he had predicted this earlier and thus had left the place. Otherwise, if he was caught off guard, he might really lose his life here.
With a thought, the purple sword appeared in his hand. Without saying a word, Xue Yang swept his sword behind him!
There was no need to explain the sharpness of the purple sword. With this slash, most living creatures would immediately be cut in half.
But this time, Xue Yang felt the power that came from the purple sword, his heart went cold, what is this thing, even if it was made of stone, it would be easily separated by the purple sword.
However, the purple sword wasn't an ordinary weapon. Although it didn't pierce the monster easily, it still left a one-foot long wound. Although it wasn't deeply strange, there wasn't any blood that flowed out.
Using the counterforce, Xue Yang took the chance to land ten metres away, and when he looked at the monster again, he was completely stunned. When it stood up, the monster was completely exposed, it was at least five metres tall, ten metres long.
However, it was bigger, stronger, and more terrifying than an alligator. When he thought about how a small 40 to 50 jin alligator turtle could easily snap a person's finger, would he still be able to live if he was bitten by this big guy?
"Wuu ~ ~" The big guy stood up, but did not chase after him. He stared coldly at Xue Yang with his torchlight like a predator staring at its own meal.
However, in the end, the giant fellow slowly moved its body and slowly retreated. Its four limbs sliced through the water and its huge body left the ground. Finally, the edge of the rock layer fell back.
Xue Yang also let out a long breath. When he saw the big guy's actions, he understood that this guy was still very smart, because its movements were slow, unsuitable to chase, and it couldn't catch him at all. It would rather take some small injuries and retreat.
Afterwards, Xue Yang brought back a sack of stones and green jade to the surface of the sea. The surroundings were extremely calm, the deep ocean was quiet, and when he arrived at the place where the Flood Dragon had previously appeared, even though it was no longer there, the water was still emitting the thick smell of blood.
Yu Datong looked at the surface of the sea nervously, thinking that Xue Yang should not let anything happen to him. It was about to get dark, and he did not see Xue Yang come up, so he did not know what had happened to him.
Fortunately for him, with the sound of splashing water, Xiao Ning came out of the water.
"Shay Brothers, you finally came up!" Yu Datong heaved a long sigh. It was hard to imagine how Xue Yang had done it, bringing him underwater for so long.
Xue Yang nodded, grabbed Yu Datong's hand and boarded the boat, bringing back a gunny sack of stones as well.
"Shay Brothers, what is that thing you're hiding?" Yu Datong asked curiously.
"It's just a few stones. I do business in this area, so I can only mine it myself." When Xue Yang boarded the boat, he habitually dried his body and wore his clothes off the mountain.
When they returned to Elder Yu's home, it was already evening. Elder Yu had just happened to have prepared dinner, and had insisted on letting Xue Yang come down to eat.
After Yu Dazong sent Xue Yang to the other side, Xue Yang carried a sack full of stones and returned home excitedly. There were some that even he had never seen before that he could not identify. In short, there were some on the land, some that did not exist on the land, and some that did not exist in the sea.
Of course, there were no problems with the diving technique, but it did not mean that it was enough. If he encountered any danger or emergency that required the use of dragon qi, it would be difficult to maintain his dragon qi.
Song Yu and Peng Da would glance towards the door from time to time, but that figure didn't appear.
"Peng Da, are you hungry?" Song Yu sighed and asked.
"Mistress, it's fine. Let's wait a little longer!" Although his stomach was rumbling, Peng Da still decided to wait for Xue Yang to come back before starting the meal.
Fortunately, not long after, Xue Yang's figure appeared at the door, carrying a bag on his shoulder, he walked in excitedly.
"Xue Yang, Master." Song Yu and Peng Da immediately went over to catch the bag.
Xue Yang stretched his muscles. After staying in the water for too long, he felt that it was not very comfortable, but seeing the dishes on the table that were not even winter yet, his heart warmed. What are you waiting for me for?
Under the night sky, the fragrance of dishes and loud chewing noises came from a shop on the business street. Although they had eaten late, they were filled with joy and bliss.
