Chapter 564 The Ocean of Sand
"We should leave."

...

This is the world at 3 a.m., in the waters near the Eastern Skull Islands.

At this time of day, most creatures are not very active, as this is when visibility is at its lowest in the entire sea area. Birds, rodents, and other animals on the islands will quietly wait for the fog to dissipate before starting their daily activities.

However, deep divers, who have a natural affinity for water and possess extremely strong senses in the water, love this kind of weather the most.

They dislike the feeling of the blazing sun shining directly on their skin on sunny days.

The moisture from foggy days can provide maximum hydration to their skin, and even enhance their senses and mobility to varying degrees depending on the fog concentration.

It's important to know that deep-diving creatures are not incapable of moving around on land.

On the contrary, even on the ground, their strength and speed far exceed those of ordinary humans.

This has been demonstrated in the case of David Derby, where the fledgling hunters went to great lengths to kill David's father-in-law.

In foggy weather, the Deep Diver's movement speed in the air is significantly increased, creating a very dangerous situation.

……

The earlier shout of "We should retreat" came from Rebecca, who was holding a gun at the stern.

Because within her field of vision, she saw countless black dots bouncing and rapidly magnifying in the misty seawater and above the reefs.

Those were the figures of the Deep Divers!

It's not just that.

From the psychic's perspective, behind all the deep-sea creatures, in the seawater, there was something even larger, like a small island, pressing down on the ship.

...

At that moment, the figures of the young Marsh family members who had dived into the water to guide the boats suddenly disappeared.

Even without a guide, the ship continues to sail straight ahead.

The remaining Marsh family crew members on deck all jumped over the railing and plunged into the water.

Allen had assumed these guys were going down to rescue people or continue scouting for the ship.

As a result, they plunged into the fog and disappeared!

Without looking back even slightly.

It seemed to be swimming directly towards a nearby island, constantly uttering the language of the Deepdivers and screams.

"It's over, it's all over!!"

Allen gripped his scalp with both hands.

"Traitors! A bunch of traitors!!!"

...

Yes, the Marsh family hybrids collectively and decisively chose to stand on the side of the Deep Ones at the crucial moment.

Of course, strictly speaking, he cannot be called a traitor.

Because in another ten or eight years, these hybrids with rich bloodlines will eventually develop into fully-fledged Deep Ones, who are originally members of the immortal sea race.

Moreover, given the current situation, staying on the deck would not be a question of pure blood, but rather a question of whether one has any brains at all.

"It's all over, everything's over..."

The huge ship was left with only the captain as a lone commander.

Allen has seen his share of ups and downs, but he really can't handle this situation on his own. First of all, the ship's movement alone is beyond the capabilities of one person.

"We're doomed, we're really doomed this time. If I had known we were going through this area, I should have hidden the other women on the ship first."

At this moment, Allen didn't care about the rules of keeping a clear head during the voyage. He unscrewed the cork and gulped down the rum, probably thinking that he might never have the chance to taste the exhilarating pain of alcohol burning his throat again.

……

The ships moved at a snail's pace compared to the deep-sea divers.

Almost instantly, the Deepdiver's forefins were within arm's reach in the rifle scope.

do not care!
boom!
Bang! Bang! Rebecca at the stern had already begun emptying the magazines.

Each bullet precisely ripped open the skull of a deep diver behind them.

But this did not stop the Deep Ones from swarming in like locusts.

The dense moisture in the air made them seem as if they could "swim" in mid-air; if one didn't possess the powerful senses of a psychic, Rebecca's bullets wouldn't have been able to hit them at all.

...

Her gaze was fixed on the deep-diving individuals who entered the visible range.

However, at one moment, Rebecca suddenly saw two eerie, terrifying gray-blue eyes light up within the outline of the enormous creature that had been following at the very end into the deep water.

Just as she was about to fire a shot at the bright spot without thinking twice, the light inside the scope suddenly became much brighter!

Almost instantly, all she could see was a blinding white light. She had no time to react; it was as if she had been suddenly transported from dawn to daylight, and was now aiming a gun at the sun...

...

Rebecca covered her eyes in discomfort. Even during the brief period of blindness, she did not let her guard down. As she released the rifle handle, she drew a dagger directly from her waist.

The dense black dots in the field of vision are gradually fading away.

She called out Milo's name, telling him that the Deep Ones had caught up.

But Milo did not respond.

And gradually, she seemed to lose the chill brought by the fog on the sea surface, and even felt a warmth, as if the sun was shining on her.

...

After vision is fully restored.

Rebecca was stunned.

What about chases at sea, deep-sea hunters, and colossal creatures of the ocean depths...?

She was standing all alone in a desert filled with yellow sand.

The sun is burning in the sky.

Above my head was a cruel sky with not a single cloud.

After the strong winds swept away the sand and gravel on the ground, they could occasionally reveal the outlines of some weathered animal bones.

Strangely, this place is an endless desert, yet the sand contains the skeletons of marine creatures, and occasionally you can even see seashells.

...

Rebecca was stunned.

She didn't know what happened.

It was as if, in that instant, she had been ripped from her original world and thrown into this vast, desolate desert.

Perhaps she traveled through millions of years in an instant. The sea area where she once fought fiercely with the Deep Ones had become a desert after countless tectonic movements, which is why the skeletons of these marine creatures could be seen on the ground.

Soon, Rebecca suddenly noticed a huge, strange object on the slope of the canyon behind her.

It resembles a giant rock, but its shape and location give one the intuition that it was not formed by natural forces.

Because of its straight outline and sharp lines, it reflects a rather dazzling white light under the scorching sunlight.

...

It's more like a meticulously crafted monolith, a work of art, standing there in the distance.

It might even be an object of worship.

……

It wasn't until she observed it up close that Rebecca became even more certain of her suspicions.

This is a work created by some intelligent being.
