TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

"This place is really beautiful." Liu Yang commented while looking at the dark sea before him.

The place was the island's beach at night.

The cold climate added to the high and powerful waves, the place looked like a dangerous island in the middle of the sea.

Liu Yang was alone because Zayaa was in the hotel room, she didn't even want to leave because there was nothing she was interested in doing on the island or in the city.

(Some stupid group is still following me. It looks like I will have to deal with them in the water) Liu Yang thought.

After buying the skills that can help him swim, Liu Yang used some of them. Aquatic Breathing, Fish Swimming, and Water Jet. These three skills were the best to help Liu Yang swim.

The Aquatic Breathing skill has been leveled to level 3, so the number of skill points left is two. Liu Yang saved these two points for his skill to resist the poison, he did not want to be poisoned by a poison much more powerful than his skill.

Crack… Crack…

Stretches crack his bones. Liu Yang was already ready to swim.

Splash !!!!

Liu Yang jumped into the sea and swam towards the deepest parts of the beach.

(Interesting… This is really cool !!!) Liu Yang mentally shouted.

Breathing under the water using his nose was a strange feeling for him. Liu Yang had tested it in the hotel's bathtub. He filled the bathtub with water and kept his head in the water for over an hour.

All this time, he had no problem breathing in the water. The sensation of water entering his nose and exiting with each breath was very strange.

Liu Yang tried to get used to it after doing it for a few hours, but it was still very strange to feel like breathing underwater.

(It looks like they didn't follow me to the water, they must be waiting for me to go to the deepest places before trying to follow me) Liu Yang thought. He swam to the bottom of the beach.

After a few meters away from the surface ...

The Xinia Continent was already dark, but inside the ocean, it is much darker. You couldn't see anything in the water.

The only way to be able to see anything is by using light crystals or equipment that emit light. Otherwise, the person in the water will be in total darkness.

To his surprise, Liu Yang saw many people breaking rocks at the bottom of the ocean with weapons, but each had some kind of item that emits light to help when it comes to seeing the soil. They were trying to find scales.

But not everyone could stay longer in the water, most needed to rise to the surface to breathe before diving again. This process was slow and tiring.

The poor people who did this, those who were a little bit richer and stronger, they had some skills or better items that help with diving and can stay longer in the water.

The scene was like some mining site.

At the same time, many sea creatures attack people.

These sea creatures looked like giant fish the size of an elephant. But their appearance was like that of very fierce prehistoric creatures.

The weakest were attacked and eaten as a snack, the strongest had a chance to survive, but were injured.

Fighting in the water was a major disadvantage for beings who are used to living on the surface.

(This place is where the poorest people try their luck, so it is the place with the least possible rocks… Besides, these sea creatures in this area are the weakest, so I can tell that the scales in this place are the lowest quality) Liu Yang saw that the soil was already very broken, which shows that it was already used a lot.

(I need to go further) He didn't swim.

Liu Yang preferred to walk on the ocean floor as if he were walking on the ground there on the surface. This scene is a little strange to see.

Normally, the pressure and density of the water make it difficult for people to walk in the water.

Fortunately, Liu Yang had a skill called Fish Swimming. This turned Liu Yang into a fish in the water. He can dance in the water that would be no problem.

The only problem with the skill is that it is only at level 1. Thus, Liu Yang still had some difficulties in moving the way he wanted to.

If a fight happens in the water, he cannot move quickly as if he were out of the water.

To avoid being found by sea creatures, Liu Yang covered his body with poison. He was controlling the poison so that it was not mixed with water, this can cause many problems for everyone in the place.

The poison has covered its scent, so sea creatures will not find it, or rather, they will avoid it. There were also some poisonous sea creatures in the sea.

Because smells are similar, non-poisonous sea creatures avoid poisons.

Due to the lack of light in the ocean, sea creatures need to find other ways to search for their prey. The method they found was by smell.

The smell different from those that live in the sea was something very attractive. So they were the first targets.

…

The further Liu Yang walked towards the deepest parts of the ocean. The darker it was and the harder it was to look into the sea.

(I should have remembered that the bottom of the sea is dark and without light. I should have bought some skill to see in the dark. That way, I wouldn't need to spend light crystals to light my way) Liu Yang thought. He was very discouraged.

His carelessness caused him to have many problems in the water.

(I don't even know where I'm walking. I can only see the bright spots moving up and down in many places. Those points must be people trying their luck) Liu Yang couldn't see anything more than three feet away from him.

The bright lights were very striking, so it was possible to know that someone was there. But was it a person? Or a creature that has its own light? This is difficult to know.

(Judging by the time I walked, I must have walked only fifty meters from the beach. That's too little, but it's too dark already. That's crazy !!!) Liu Yang mentally shouted.

If a small distance of fifty meters was already difficult to see what was around him, Liu Yang would not even imagine what could happen if he went further.

"!!!!!!!!" Liu Yang suddenly felt danger. Someone had a murderous intention in his direction.

(They came after me !!!!!)
