For a time, all that could be seen was a giant sand ball constantly rolling, the hundreds of coral insects directly churned into fragments.
After a moment, this coral head turned directly into a pile of rubble.
With a single grab, Zhang Ling extracted an oval-shaped gem the size of a fist from the debris. It seemed to be the monster's demon core, but not quite.
However, there were no other objects similar to demon cores among the fragments on the ground, only this strange gem. It had some regular patterns like circles on it, looking quite beautiful.
Zhang Ling took a deep breath, and a fragrance entered his nose, instantly giving him a feeling of refreshment. Regardless of whether this was the monster's demon core, just this focus-enhancing effect alone made it a good treasure.
Meanwhile, the coral insects were still constantly biting at the blue-skinned shark. He then directly used his flying sword to kill the blue-skinned shark, obtaining a seventh-order demon core as well.
After dealing with the two wild beasts, he searched this water cave for a while. There were still many dark brown corals on the rock walls, growing in the water and on the surrounding rocks like messy branches.
But after the main body, the coral head, died, these corals no longer moved and lost their activity.
At the same time, he also discovered more than a dozen pieces of good quality coral jade underwater, which was also a treasure refining material. Naturally, Zhang Ling didn't let them go, and collected them all into his storage bag.
This water cave seemed to be closed, but there were many secret passages underwater that could lead to other places. He chose the largest water cave and entered it to find a way out.
……
In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed.
Zhang Ling had explored hundreds of miles in the underwater dark cave, but still hadn't found a way out. At this moment, he stopped in a stone cave more than ten zhang in size, sitting cross-legged on a black rock, meditating to recover from the consumption of the better part of the day.
At the same time, he pondered the current predicament in his heart, thinking about how to escape. Suddenly, he abruptly opened his eyes and stood up, scanning the surroundings.
At this moment, there was no change in this water cave, but he keenly sensed that the airflow in the air suddenly started to flow rapidly. Looking down, the water flow at the bottom also became faster.
At the same time, he could also feel a gust of breeze constantly blowing from all around.
Zhang Ling frowned slightly. He had been at the bottom of the water, three or four hundred zhang deep, for several hours, and this sudden feeling seemed to indicate that something was about to happen. Standing on the rock, he stood still for a moment, releasing his divine sense to explore outside the stone cave.
In this short period of time, he could hear the sound of the wind, and the wind force instantly strengthened dozens of times. After pondering for a moment, a flash of light appeared on his body, and he flew out along a waterway next to him.
Soon after, the sound of rumbling water continued. The water flow in a waterway was turbulent, as if attracted by some force, presenting a reverse flow driving towards one direction. In an instant, it passed through several waterways.
Zhang Ling was currently in the water, covered with two layers of water spirit shields, following the water. If he was not mistaken, the backflow of water might be a siphon phenomenon. Following the water flow, he had a high probability of finding a way out.
Following the water, a quarter of an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
The water flow became more and more turbulent, and his body constantly hit against the rocks, and two layers of defensive water shields were broken.
After a while, Zhang Ling noticed that he seemed to have rushed out of the water cave, and for a while, he didn't hit the rocks anymore. He was being rolled in a huge water tornado by a strong water pressure, constantly shaking.
With a thought, the surface of his body was immediately covered with a layer of yellow light, and his figure immediately stopped in the water flow, releasing his divine sense to check outside. He found nothing, only endless black water.
Am I out?
Zhang Ling questioned in his heart, but he still followed the water tornado and continued to dive forward.
Thus, another quarter of an hour passed, and he found that the surrounding water was no longer pitch black, but became clear, as if it had become ordinary water. At the same time, the water tornado also slowed down a lot, with signs of stopping.
A flash of light appeared on his body, and he directly broke away from the water tornado, standing in the water covered with a water spirit shield, releasing his divine sense to explore the surroundings.
His body was surrounded by endless water, but more than ten miles behind him was a large black and heavy underwater black mountain, with no end in sight, covering an area of at least a thousand miles. The area he was in before was that area.
Now it seemed that he had left that area, and Zhang Ling couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then, he swam directly upwards, intending to break out of the water and see where he was.
But then, after swimming a hundred miles upwards, he still didn't get close to the surface of the water.
Zhang Ling guessed in his heart that he might really be in the Qingling Sea on the other side of the Nine Dragon Wall, and still at the bottom of the sea, not in lakes or rivers.
But whether it was or not, he would only know after coming out of the water.
Thinking in his heart, he accelerated his upward speed, turning into a water sword, quickly breaking through the water.
But soon, he encountered a large group of red strange fish with the strength of the third and fourth order, including a fifth-order fish king.
After spending some time, he solved this group of demon fish, and Zhang Ling became cautious, putting on the spirit concealing gauze. As expected, he could see some fish beasts from time to time on the next journey.
There were both fish beasts that acted together with thousands or tens of thousands, and individual high-level demon fish.
Not long ago, he also saw twenty or thirty high-level black-headed fish acting together.
This made him even more cautious. Even if he was not weak, it was still very dangerous to encounter so many high-level fish beasts in the water.
All the way up, after more than an hour, he saw some faint light.
Soon after, on an endless water surface, a splash of water splashed up, and Zhang Ling finally broke out of the water. Looking at the endless water surface, he was still stunned for a moment.
With a flip of his hand, the Heavenly Abyss Token appeared in his hand. His divine sense invaded it and checked the map that appeared on it.
After looking at it for a while, he gave a chuckle and a wry smile. He didn't expect that he had guessed correctly, and he was really in the Qingling Sea now.
Moreover, the map also showed the specific location, and now it was at least tens of thousands of miles away from the Nine Dragon Wall. His current location was even closer to the black vortex in the center of the Qingling Sea.
He didn't expect that the teleportation error would teleport him to the underwater stone mountain.
Scanning the surroundings, besides the endless seawater, he could also see an island several miles away. Zhang Ling thought for a while, intending to go to that island to rest and then make plans.
