Giant Fish Survival: I Can Hear the Giant Fish's Heart

On the morning of the 570th day, the world system notification sounded in the minds of all survivors that the 17th [Treasure Hunt Trial] was about to begin.

Zhou Wen calculated that there were a total of 2.3 million survivors participating in the [Treasure Hunt Trial] within the No. 10 sea area.

而不在10号海域范围内进行【寻宝试炼】的1号、2号、8号海域的求生者，一共有3亿人。

If all goes well, you can obtain a total of 1060 gold treasure chests in this [Treasure Hunt Trial].

"We should have added another fourth-stage survivor to Sea Area 1 and Sea Area 2 before," Zhou Wen suddenly thought.

As the number of King-level core creatures in the [Treasure Hunt Trial] increases, Cheng Hui in Sea Area 1 and Chen Ke in Sea Area 2 may not be able to clear out the King-level core creatures in the trial in time, which will lead to the death of many survivors.

"By the way, why don't I just assign a few Stage 4 survivors to Sea Area 1 and Sea Area 2?"

With 8 minutes remaining before the 17th [Treasure Hunt Trial] begins, Zhou Wen teleported directly to Bai Lan and Shivam's location, then used [Mustard Seed Space] to place the two of them and their transformed Leviathan in Sea Area 1.

Then, they were teleported to Zhang Dongliang and Galen's location, along with the transformed Leviathan, and then to Sea Area 2.

In this way, there will be enough manpower to clean up the King-level core creatures in Sea Area 1 and Sea Area 2.

The number of survivors in Sea Area 8 is relatively small, only over 7 million, and Isabella also has a fourth-stage survivor named Najima among her subordinates.

When Najima competed against Cheng Hui, she had only recently entered the fourth stage, so her strength was not very high.

However, after the No. 8 Sea Area was invaded by a large-scale core creature, Najima obtained a variety of top-level King-level energies, and her strength was greatly enhanced. Dealing with the King-level core creatures in the [Treasure Hunt Trial] was not a difficult task.

If Isabella feels she doesn't have enough manpower, she can ask Wu Bing for help. Wu Bing is still in the No. 8 sea area at this time.

Zhou Wen gave the [Character Attribute Panel Level 4 Upgrade Token] that he had previously obtained from the Withering Treasure Chest to Wu Bing, and Wu Bing is now a Level 4 Survivor.

With everything arranged, Zhou Wen returned to the stomach wall space of Huanlin. After the preparation time ended, a blue light shone, and Zhou Wen and Huanlin entered the body of a King-level Leviathan.

As soon as they entered the treasure hunt trial, Zhou Wen sent Chen Xin a message inviting her to join him.

After waiting for a few minutes, a blue light appeared around Zhou Wen, and Chen Xin's figure appeared in it.

But as soon as Chen Xin appeared, she unleashed a crimson bolt of lightning at Zhou Wen.

This crimson lightning bolt was obtained by Chen Xin from killing a pseudo-emperor core creature in Sea Area 8. It is called Blazing Lightning Energy and belongs to the pseudo-emperor level energy.

"Boom!" The blazing lightning energy struck Zhou Wen directly, while Chen Xin immediately retreated, creating some distance between herself and Zhou Wen.

After the blazing lightning energy dissipated, Zhou Wen appeared unharmed in Chen Xin's sight, which made Chen Xin feel as if she were facing a formidable enemy.

"Why are you attacking me?" Zhou Wen did not try to get close to Chen Xin, because Chen Xin was clearly in a state of extreme vigilance, and approaching her rashly might backfire.

"You damned monsters, don't try to fool me with Boss Zhou and my sister's appearances anymore, they're dead!" Chen Xin said with sadness in her eyes and unusual anger.

"This is the [Treasure Hunt Trial] space; monsters can't come here, right?"

Instead of explaining that he wasn't a monster, Zhou Wen mentioned that only survivors could participate in the [Treasure Hunt Trial], thus indirectly proving his authenticity.

"Go to hell!" But at this moment, Chen Xin's eyes suddenly turned into a dreamlike color, and then an extremely powerful aura suddenly emanated from Chen Xin's entire body.

"Buzz!" Immediately afterwards, a dreamlike, colorful energy was released by Chen Xin.

Zhou Wen's pupils immediately contracted, and he instantly activated the [Dead Silence] trait, releasing a wave of Dead Silence Emperor energy.

"Boom!" The moment the colorful energy struck the Deathly Silent Emperor's energy, an extremely terrifying energy fluctuation erupted.

Zhou Wen and Chen Xin were still inside the blood vessels of the King-level Leviathan. A terrifying energy shockwave struck the blood vessels of this King-level Leviathan, directly destroying them. At the same time, the warning from the World System came to their minds.

[WARNING! Continuing to attack the King-level Leviathan will result in expulsion from the trial!]

"Is this the energy of the Dream Emperor? This is troublesome," Zhou Wen said, frowning.

Zhou Wen brought Chen Xin along, originally intending to inquire about her situation, confirm whether she had truly been pulled into the illusion by the Dream Emperor, and then have Chen Xin send him a companion invitation.

In this way, once the [Treasure Hunt Trial] ends, Zhou Wen can accept companions and be teleported to Chen Xin's location.

But now, Chen Xin has completely lost her mind, and if she causes any more damage to the Trial King-level Leviathan, she will be expelled from the trial. So, if you want to meet Chen Xin, you will probably have to wait for the next [Treasure Hunt Trial].

"Mustard Seed Space." Upon realizing this, Zhou Wen immediately activated the Mustard Seed Space, directly sending Chen Xin into it.

Then Zhou Wen himself entered the [Mustard Seed Space] and continued to try to communicate with Chen Xin.

But Chen Xin ignored him completely and continued to unleash her dreamlike energy to attack Zhou Wen.

"It's fake! It's all fake!" Chen Xin shouted as she attacked, her eyes filled with tears and her expression extremely painful.

Zhou Wen felt a pang of heartache seeing Chen Xin like this. Clearly, the Illusionary Emperor had already woven a similar illusion for Chen Xin, and Chen Xin must have believed it at first, only to find out in the end that it was all fake.

Furthermore, this illusion likely occurred more than once, given that Chen Xin had been missing for approximately 15 days. During those 15 days, Chen Xin may have been constantly trapped in a cycle of false illusions.

"I can only wait until the dream energy in Chen Xin's body is exhausted before I can forcibly control her," Zhou Wen thought to himself.

Zhou Wen was certain that the dreamlike energy within Chen Xin was supplied by the Dream Emperor, presumably to incite Chen Xin to attack her own people during the trial.

However, the Dream Emperor is a Leviathan of the Emperor level with the [Emperor's Law], and Chen Xin, as a fourth-stage survivor, can only store a maximum of 10 of its energy in her body.

Zhou Wen still has 37 strands of Deathly Emperor Energy within his body, so exhausting Chen Xin's Dream Energy should not be a problem.

"Boom boom boom!" At this moment, violent energy roars continued to erupt in the [Mustard Seed Space], and terrifying energy shockwaves spread outwards, only to be blocked by a deathly silent imperial energy shield.
