Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 812 - 24 Surprise in the Depths of the Hungry Sea

812: Chapter 24: Surprise in the Depths of the Hungry Sea

812 -24: Surprise in the Depths of the Hungry Sea

The Sea of Calamities is also called the Sea of Calamities.

Human exploration teams indeed explored the Sea of Calamities, but only observed it from a very distant place, never having been close to the beaches.

A hundred years ago, the Sea of Calamities was already showing faint hues of red.

Some said it was due to highly pure minerals contained beneath the sea, others believed it was stained red by the blood of creatures.

Tang Xian first learnt about this sea area in his fifth academic year, from a travelogue found in the old books section on the second floor of the school library.

The observer had long since died, but that particular description, Tang Xian found it to be rather exaggerated.

Although he had never been to the Sea of Calamities, he found it difficult to imagine that there really was a place as the author described.

The passage went like this—

“As the eyes of the team, my ability is also observation.

In that Sea of Calamities, there lie countless calamity-level creatures beyond our wildest imagination.

I can confirm that those sea monster-like creatures, whose eyes shine with a bluish-purple light, appear extremely powerful and ferocious.

It seems that just one of them could destroy the human ore defense lines.

But they cannot leave the sea area, perhaps this is the creator’s leniency toward us.

Even though these dreadful creatures have evolved to such a degree, they are still constrained by their own biological traits.

If you plan to go to the Sea of Calamities, remember not to get too close.

Deep within the Sea of Calamities, there are sirens singing, and their songs travel through the water, spreading everywhere with the flowing wind.

They act like a guide, a command, irresistibly drawing you closer to the deep sea.

The sound does not enchant, rather it summons.

It ignites the desire to fight within you, as if beneath the deep sea, there awaits a battlefield burning with fervor, and those shallow sea beasts skirmishing are merely cannon fodder in the outer fray.

Strangely, I can’t make out the meaning of the siren’s songs, yet my mind conjures up various scenes of combat.

Perhaps in the deepest parts of the Sea of Calamities, there really lies an arena.

Only the most powerful sea monsters may enter that arena to compete for supreme glory.

Perhaps that glory is the treasure of the deep sea?”

About the Sea of Calamities, this imaginative explorer wrote much, and most of the time, although it was very subjective conjecture, only this passage was the most extravagant.

An arena beneath the sea?

This seemed ludicrous to everyone.

Tang Xian did not believe this passage.

When others have experienced something you have not, their stories have a certain probability of being rumors.

Whether in normal daily life or during certain special disasters, not believing or spreading rumors is a reflection of a person’s cultivation and wisdom.

Tang Xian couldn’t go to the Sea of Calamities, and even though he checked other materials about it, he couldn’t find any glaring contradictions.

So he didn’t believe it but didn’t completely dismiss it either.

In the materials Tang Xian reviewed, those explorers afterwards never heard the siren’s song.

But every explorer who explored the Sea of Calamities did so at different times.

Only that explorer who claimed to hear the siren sang explored during early spring.

Now, many years have passed since Tang Xian learned about the Sea of Calamities.

Especially during this year of transitioning from a temporary worker to a permanent one, Tang Xian went through many things, and the whole world also underwent tremendous changes in this year.

At this moment, he still found the idea of the arena bizarre, but indeed, the destroyer is a combat fanatic…

Connecting this layer, it seemed somewhat plausible.

Even among so many conjectures about the Sea of Calamities, Tang Xian felt this arena theory, though the most far-fetched, was the most attractive to him.

At this very moment, Tang Xian and his group had already passed through the Saint Dena Highlands.

They were not too far from the Sea of Calamities.

Tang Xian originally planned to slow down the journey, but recalling that explorer’s words, he felt it might be good to reach the Sea of Calamities earlier.

…

…

The Sea of Calamities.

Unlike other deep seas, in the depths of the Sea of Calamities, there exists large patches of ghost coral, these ghost corals are entirely crimson, emitting a red glow; although called coral, they are actually crystalline bodies resembling corals.

But for those powerful monsters in the depths of the Sea of Calamities, their composition is naturally unclear, and human scholars have never reached this realm either.

The creatures of the Sea of Calamities know that getting close to these corals evokes a bloodthirsty desire.

In this world-famous Sea of Calamities, there actually exists a strictly hierarchical world.

In the shallow sea area, countless sea beasts fight, devour, and evolve, all aiming to become stronger.

All sea beasts affected by the ghost coral not only crave combat but indeed grow by devouring their opponents.

That is why this area is called the Sea of Calamities.

Ghost coral appeared centuries ago, turning this mild marine area into the world’s most terrifying Asura Hell overnight.

All creatures that inadvertently enter the Sea of Calamities from other sea areas cannot escape a cyclic fate—

Fighting, devouring, and being devoured.

If they survive, they grow stronger, then are summoned by a special existence—sirens, into the Central Sea Zone.

In the Central Sea Zone, there are no common calamity-level creatures, mostly calamity-level boss creatures, and occasionally catastrophic-level creatures can be seen.
