Chapter 576: A Surprise While Fishing
Chapter 576: A Surprise While Fishing
This time, the dragons' target was a creature known as the Great Blue-lined Octopus, which on average, measures ten meters in length. These octopuses live in the depths of the ocean, over ten thousand meters below the surface, and are the Skrull Dragons' favorite food, hands down.
However, these octopuses are extremely clever and hide well within the complex terrain of the ocean trench, making it difficult for the dragons to catch them. According to records, the dragons manage to catch no more than a hundred of these octopuses each year.
This time, the White Dragon Queen wanted to try the "Fishing Master Elixir" to see if it could lure the octopuses out of the trench.
The dragons' actions were very covert. Despite their large number, around six to seven hundred, they all flew above the thermocline, minimizing their presence to avoid detection by the sea creatures below.
After reaching the surface above the Great Glen Trench, the White Dragon Queen halted her team and turned to address them, "Tremus, Scaler, start setting up the Concealment Array."
"Understood, Queen!" Tremus and Scaler replied simultaneously.
They were the White Dragon Queen's two most trusted assistants, accompanying her on this mission.
Under the White Dragon Queen's direction, three dragons worked together to create a massive, transparent "bubble" in the air. This bubble enveloped the entire group of dragons, ensuring that no dragon's aura would be exposed.
Once the preparations were complete, the White Dragon Queen turned to her daughter, "Coco, use the elixir now."
"Understood, Mother." Princess Coco replied softly.
She extended her dragon claw and tore off the stopper of the "Fishing Master Elixir" bottle given to her by Su Yu. She then tipped the bottle upside down, pouring the entire contents into the sea.
The "Fishing Master Elixir" was a colorless, transparent liquid that looked like water from the outside. However, the actual weight of the liquid was astonishingly heavy; a bottle the size of a soda bottle weighed several dozen kilograms!
Thus, the liquid didn't scatter in the wind but fell straight down, splashing into the sea with a loud plop.
Whoosh!
The previously calm sea surface suddenly began to churn!
Today was a peaceful day with a gentle breeze, and the sea was very calm, occasionally rippling with tiny waves. But after the elixir entered the water, the sea below it was as if a spoon of water had been suddenly added to a 300-degree hot oil pan, causing the entire surface to boil!
Su Yu's mental energy probed downward into the water, and he could sense all the nearby fish desperately swimming toward the elixir.
Upon reaching the elixir, various schools of fish began a fierce battle over it, their scales and blood quickly staining the entire sea surface.
The White Dragon Queen's mental energy was much stronger than Su Yu's, and her mental energy could reach all the way to the deepest part of the trench.
Through her mental energy scan, she discovered that the blue-lined octopuses, which usually only hid, were now frantically rushing to the surface in large numbers, at least a thousand of them! This was more than the total number caught over the past ten years!
This discovery greatly excited her, and she quickly relayed the good news to the other dragons.
The dragons were overjoyed upon hearing the good news, their joyful dragon roars echoing one after another.
Each of them stared at the sea surface with eyes larger than Su Yu's body, eager to pounce, drooling shamefully.
The White Dragon Queen addressed the dragons, "Everyone, listen to my command. When I give the order, Tremus will remove the Concealment Barrier; Scaler will stay behind to watch over the immobile young dragons. The rest of the adult dragons will follow me. Understood?"
“Understood!” The dragons lowered their voices and roared excitedly.
The white dragon named Skirr opened his mouth.
He really wanted to join the main group in the sea to catch fish. However, he couldn't disobey the queen's orders and had to stay behind to guard the hatchlings.
The White Dragon Queen didn't know Skirr's thoughts, and even if she did, she wouldn't have cared.
At that moment, her mental energy already covered the entire ocean trench, and she had a complete grasp on the movements of the giant blue-striped octopus swarm.
...
Time ticked by, second by second.
After about three minutes, the White Dragon Queen flapped her wings rapidly and shouted to the dragons behind her, “Everyone, follow me! Charge!”
“Charge!”
“Charge!”
“Charge!”
The dragons' excitement had reached its peak, and even the war with the White-headed Eagles over a decade ago hadn't made them this excited!
Tremus removed the obscuring barrier, and hundreds of dragons, each twenty to thirty meters long, plunged into the water like massive projectiles from the sky.
The impact of the dragons hitting the water sent towering waves spreading in all directions, creating a breathtakingly spectacular scene!
Su Yu immediately took out his camera from his necklace and snapped a photo of the moment.
Although these images couldn't be shown on Blue Star for now, keeping them as a memento was still a good idea.
Even the cat, Morningstar, was drawn to the scene.
She stood on Princess Coco's back, her eyes wide with amazement, and even stopped playing on her phone.
After the dragons entered the sea, the surface churned even more violently.
Before long, the water below turned completely red, with fish carcasses floating everywhere.
The dragons' mission wasn't entirely smooth.
After about ten minutes, the White Dragon Queen emerged from the water.
On either side of her body, she controlled two colorless, transparent spheres, each about fifty meters in diameter. Inside these spheres lay two dragons with their eyes closed, their lifeless bodies devoid of any vital signs.
These two dragons were dead!
“It's ‘Ilannikus’ and ‘Vrastaz’! They're dead!” Skirr, who was guarding the hatchlings, shouted in shock.
Hearing his cry, the nearby hatchlings and Su Yu were stunned.
“Ilannikus” was a red dragon, and “Vrastaz” was a black dragon. Both had a wingspan of 35 meters, clearly indicating they were sixth-rank Holy Dragons!
Yet, these two powerful sixth-rank dragons were dead! In just ten minutes! What had happened beneath the waves?
The White Dragon Queen quickly tossed the two spheres to Skirr and said sorrowfully, “Skirr, we were attacked by a mysterious sea beast in the ocean. ‘Ilannikus’ and ‘Vrastaz’ were ambushed and their souls were destroyed, leading to their deaths.
I will now go to avenge them! Skirr, take their bodies and the hatchlings back to Dragon Island. Be extremely careful on the way!”
With that, the White Dragon Queen dove back into the water and vanished instantly.
In the sky, Skirr and the hatchlings were overwhelmed with grief.
What was supposed to be a joyful hunting trip had turned into a tragedy with the loss of two of their own.
The hatchlings formed a circle around the spheres, their throats emitting mournful cries as they paid their respects to their fallen comrades.
Skirr, his head hanging low in despair, prepared to lead the hatchlings back home.
