The crimson creature hadn't expected its prey to be so tough, and painfully released its jaws. Zhou Wen immediately seized the opportunity, and with a thought, he put away the scales of the yellowtail with its blade fins, and the steel toothed longsword appeared in his hand.

With his hands bound, Zhou Wen held the steel longsword upside down, with the blade pointing towards the crimson creature. He then let the steel longsword fall with the force of gravity, and the sharp blade sliced ​​through the crimson creature's body as easily as cutting tofu.

The crimson creature's seaweed-like body was sliced ​​in two with a single stroke, binding Zhou Wen's lower body and instantly losing its strength. With a slight effort, Zhou Wen broke free, and then, with a thought, stored the still-falling Fang Steel Longsword into his equipment slot.

The crimson creature's upper body was still struggling, and bright red blood gushed from the cut. Zhou Wen seized the opportunity, took out his steel longsword again, gripped it with both hands, and swung it, severing the crimson creature's head.

Having lost its head, the crimson creature was completely dead. Its upper body twitched a few more times before ceasing to move.

Zhou Wen sheathed his steel longsword, put on the armor that had fallen to the ground, and then opened the creature encyclopedia to check the information about the crimson creature.

Crimson Sea Serpent

Body length: 10 meters

Weight: 1.5 tons

Food type: Meat

Description: A type of sea snake that lives in crimson kelp forests. Its body resembles crimson kelp. It catches fish by mimicking the crimson kelp. It is edible, and its skin can be used to make clothing.

"A mere ten meters long, and you dare to treat me like prey?" Zhou Wen said with a hint of contempt after reading the information about the Crimson Sea Serpent.

Zhou Wen had fought and even killed one of the two larger and more dangerous creatures: the 20-meter steel worm and the 80-meter knife-finned yellowtail. Compared to them, this crimson sea serpent was rather insignificant.

They were still in the feeding stage. Although the Crimson Sea Serpent was weak, it was not small. There was Crimson Seaweed everywhere and nowhere to dispose of the carcass. So, Zhou Wen temporarily collected the Crimson Sea Serpent's carcass.

Once the seawater receded, Zhou Wen set out the manual seaweed crusher and began to crush the crimson kelp.

According to the "Illusory Leviathan Growth Acceleration Food Guide", consuming ten tons of food can accelerate the growth rate of the illusory Leviathan by 10%. Ten tons is roughly the amount needed for one meal of the illusory Leviathan.

In the later feeding rounds, Zhou Wen encountered Crimson Sea Serpents again, and he killed them all with his Fang Steel Longsword. By the end of the feeding phase, he had collected a total of 6 Crimson Sea Serpent corpses.

"It seems there are quite a few crimson sea snakes in this crimson kelp forest."

Zhou Wen discovered that this Crimson Sea Serpent was a fool; it swam over in a creature the size of Leviathan and didn't even try to run away.

After crushing all the crimson kelp during its feeding phase, Zhou Wen began to skin the crimson sea snake with an iron dagger.

The scarlet sea snake looks a lot like scarlet kelp, with a main stem and leaves growing on both sides. However, the main stem of the scarlet sea snake is about twice as thick as that of scarlet kelp, about 20 to 30 centimeters thick, and the leaves are also simulated, belonging to the fin category.

Since it was too slow for one person to peel the skin, Zhou Wen sent two skins to Jiang Haitao and Chen Xin respectively, so that they could peel them together. The skin of the Crimson Sea Serpent was not tough, and with their strength points both above 15, it was not difficult to peel it with iron daggers.

A dozen minutes later, Zhou Wen had completely skinned a Crimson Sea Serpent and put it into his storage cabinet. Then he discovered that the Phantom Leviathan was still active.

"Could it be that it's going to look for supply boxes?" Zhou Wen didn't know if the transformed Leviathan recognized the Crimson Kelp. What if it just mistook the Crimson Kelp for ordinary seaweed, ate a meal, and left? That would be a huge loss.

After handing the remaining crimson sea serpent carcass to Chen Xin, Zhou Wen patted his esophageal diaphragm to bring the phallus Leviathan to the surface. He was about to go out and check out the crimson kelp forest.

He grabbed a supply box and also brought the diving suit he had made from mirror barracuda skin. This time, in addition to the crimson kelp, he also needed to obtain crimson root nodules, so diving was inevitable.

Soon, Zhou Wen left the stomach wall space and appeared on the back of the transformed Leviathan.

Standing high up, one can see far and wide. The sea is a deep crimson, with crimson seaweed floating beneath the surface, rising and falling with the rolling waves.

The transformed Leviathan indeed mistook the Crimson Kelp for ordinary seaweed. It had already entered the central area of ​​the Crimson Kelp Forest, clearly intending to cross it to find a supply box.

Zhou Wen naturally tried to stop it, so he jumped into the sea and gestured in front of the transformed Leviathan, making it stop in the Crimson Sea.

I only vaguely understood what the Transformed Leviathan was saying, but that didn't matter, as long as the Transformed Leviathan didn't leave the Crimson Kelp Forest.

Next, Zhou Wen put on his diving suit, preparing to dive underwater to search for crimson root nodules at the bottom of the crimson kelp.

The Crimson Nodule is only two meters in size, but it can increase the growth rate of the Transformation Leviathan by 20%, just like 10 tons of Crimson Kelp. This is definitely not to be missed.

Zhou Wen had never learned to scuba dive before, and he didn't even dare to open his eyes underwater. However, in order to find the scarlet root nodule, he had no choice but to give it a try.

Submerging his entire body in seawater, Zhou Wen subconsciously closed his eyes tightly underwater, his brows furrowing into a deep frown – a subconscious bodily reaction.

Zhou Wen could only slowly adjust his mindset, then relax his furrowed brows, and then decisively open his eyes wide.

Perhaps due to his increased physical condition, Zhou Wen did not experience any discomfort when he opened his eyes for the first time in the seawater, and he was also able to see the underwater situation through his eyes.

"It's quite deep." Zhou Wen looked down into the seawater and couldn't see the seabed at all, only endless seawater and intertwined crimson seaweed.

Zhou Wenxian surfaced, took a breath, selected a piece of crimson kelp, grabbed it with his hand, and then plunged into the seawater, beginning to swim downstream along the crimson kelp in his hand.

The deeper he went, the dimmer the light became, and the surrounding seawater continued to press against his body.

Ten minutes later, Zhou Wen reached the seabed. The light here was very dim. Looking around, he could only see the dark shadows of crimson kelp. In such dim light, it was very difficult to find the exact location of the crimson kelp nodules, but there was no other way at the moment. So he turned on his headlamp and used it for illumination.

Zhou Wen estimated that the seabed was more than 100 meters below the surface. It would be impossible for an ordinary person to dive to such a depth without diving training and professional equipment. However, Zhou Wen's physical condition was 27 points, which was almost three times that of a normal person.

Although his body was somewhat uncomfortable being squeezed at this depth, he could still barely hold on.

Moreover, Zhou Wen doesn't need to worry about anything happening to him, because the Illusionary Leviathan is always following behind him. If he can't take it anymore, the Illusionary Leviathan will definitely send him to the surface of the sea.
