A behemoth slowly rose from the water, a torrent of water droplets cascading down its form and splashing onto Ye Feng's head.
Ye Feng slowly looked up and immediately noticed that the part of the creature emerging from the water was over three meters tall, its body thicker than a large water barrel, and its total length estimated to be over ten meters.
It was now staring at Ye Feng with its two large eyes, its mouth, lined with circles of sharp teeth, agape.
Its colossal body, its cold gaze, its dense, sharp, and terrifying teeth... this sight was truly horrifying, like a monster from hell.
The size of this deep-sea vampire eel surpassed Ye Feng's comprehension, as typical adult deep-sea vampire eels were only about a meter long, and even larger ones were only two to three meters.
But this creature was over ten meters long, which was incredibly terrifying!
"How long has this thing lived, and how much blood must it have consumed to grow to this extent!" Ye Feng muttered to himself.
However, as he was still in shock, the deep-sea vampire eel let out a roar and lunged at him with a ferocious bite.
Seeing this, Ye Feng quickly channeled his Sea God's power and swung the dagger in his hand.
The next second, a flash of blade appeared, striking the creature's gaping maw.
A series of teeth-grinding sounds echoed, and then... nothing happened.
The colossal creature, completely unfazed, increased its momentum and lunged at Ye Feng again.
Ye Feng, seeing this, quickly used his Gale Phantom Steps to create distance.
The behemoth plunged its head into the water in front of him. Although it missed its target, the massive waves it created sent Ye Feng staggering backward.
Ye Feng quickly activated his underwater detection ability, instantly getting a clear view of the behemoth's full form below.
This creature was the largest deep-sea vampire eel within a thousand-meter radius, likely the king of this school of deep-sea vampire eels. Its length was even greater than he had imagined, around seventeen to eighteen meters.
Having missed its initial bite, the creature wasn't in a hurry. It circled Ye Feng, observing him, and occasionally lashed out with its massive tail, as if toying with its prey.
Ye Feng, witnessing this, became incredibly enraged. If it weren't for the inconvenience of carrying Aishi, he would have dealt with it properly.
After a few more instances of being toyed with, Ye Feng could no longer stand it and roared, "Damn beast, don't push your luck!"
Whether it understood him or had simply grown bored of playing, the creature stopped toying with him and charged directly at Ye Feng.
Just as Ye Feng was wondering what to do, his spatial spirit ring suddenly vibrated, and a small black snake slithered out.
As soon as it emerged, it poked its head out and looked around, seemingly confused about what was happening.
Seeing the snake, Ye Feng's eyes lit up.
"Oh, Xiao Hei! You've come at the perfect time! Protect this person, I'll go deal with that big guy!"
Ye Feng prepared to hand Aishi over to Xiao Hei and confront the creature himself.
However, the little creature shook its head and said, "Deal with it? No need for Dad to act, Xiao Hei can handle it!"
Ye Feng was taken aback by this statement and asked, "What? You? Are you its match?"
"Don't worry, Dad! Xiao Hei is very powerful too!" Xiao Hei replied.
As it spoke, it opened its mouth and let out a roar towards the sky, and its body began to transform.
Its body continuously grew larger, developing hard scales. Two dragon horns sprouted from its head, and two claws appeared on its belly...
In an instant, Xiao Hei transformed into a sixteen to seventeen-meter-long, pitch-black flood dragon.
An aura of an ancient fierce beast emanated from it, instantly scaring the surrounding deep-sea vampire eels into retreating, unwilling to approach.
Seeing this, Ye Feng rejoiced and pointed at the deep-sea vampire eel king, saying, "Xiao Hei, well done, kill it for me!"
*Roar!!!*
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hei let out a long cry towards the sky and charged directly at the deep-sea vampire eel king.
The deep-sea vampire eel king seemed to show some fear towards Xiao Hei.
However, after a moment of hesitation, it let out a roar and lunged at Xiao Hei with its mouth open.
Seeing this, Xiao Hei quickly dodged with a turn and then struck the creature's head with a powerful dragon tail whip.
The deep-sea vampire eel king let out a pained cry and crashed heavily onto the water's surface, sending water splashing and waves churning.
"Good job, Xiao Hei! You did great!" Ye Feng shouted excitedly.
Hearing this, Xiao Hei couldn't help but lift its head proudly, as if showing off its might to Ye Feng.
However, at this moment, the deep-sea vampire eel king submerged into the water and did not resurface for a long time.
Seeing this, Xiao Hei roared on the surface, searching for it.
"No way, is it over just like that?" Ye Feng asked, confused, and quickly activated his underwater detection ability.
The next second, he shouted urgently, "Xiao Hei, be careful! That guy is right below you!"
Just as Ye Feng finished speaking, a head broke through the water, opening its massive jaws to bite at Xiao Hei.
Fortunately, Ye Feng's warning was timely, and Xiao Hei reacted instantly, dodging with a turn.
Then, it used its claws to grab the vampire eel king's head and unleashed a stream of black flames directly into the creature's gaping mouth.
Instantly, the smell of roasted fish filled the air.
*Oww~~*
The vampire eel king let out a piercing scream and struggled violently, breaking free from Xiao Hei's grasp.
The next second, it dove into the water, attempting to flee into the distance.
This creature was actually scared into fleeing by Xiao Hei!
"Hmph! Trying to leave now? Too late!"
Ye Feng declared, suddenly diving into the water and appearing in front of the creature.
At this moment, Xiao Hei also arrived behind it, preparing to attack from both sides.
Seeing this, the deep-sea vampire eel king let out a roar, and then all the surrounding vampire eels became agitated.
The vampire eels, which had been trembling in fear of Xiao Hei's ancient aura, now swarmed towards Ye Feng and Xiao Hei, seemingly fearless of death.
"Huh? What's going on?" Ye Feng asked, confused, as he swung his dagger to fend off the attackers.
The next second, he understood: this deep-sea vampire eel king could control the other vampire eels.
"Hey! Got it! Xiao Hei, control it!" Ye Feng suddenly had an idea.
Hearing Ye Feng's command, Xiao Hei ignored the attacks from the smaller vampire eels and lunged forward, biting the vampire eel king's neck and holding it firmly with its claws.
Seeing this, Ye Feng rushed to the vampire eel king's side and slammed his palm onto its head.
"Domestication Technique, activate!"
Ye Feng roared and immediately activated the domestication technique.
The vampire eel king struggled and roared a few times before its movements ceased.
"Haha! It's successful!" Ye Feng exclaimed in surprise.
The next second, the voice of the deep-sea vampire eel king echoed, "Deep-sea Vampire Eel King, greets its master!"
"Finally got you sorted out! Immediately order the other vampire eels to stop attacking!" Ye Feng commanded.
"Yes! Master!" the vampire eel replied.
It then let out a few more loud roars, and the attacking vampire eels finally quieted down.
"Phew! It's finally safe!" Ye Feng said with a sigh of relief.
After a few seconds of rest, Ye Feng looked at Xiao Hei and asked, "Xiao Hei, are you alright!"
Xiao Hei nodded, "I'm fine!"
Seeing that Xiao Hei was unharmed, Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, Ye Feng remembered Aishi and quickly went to check on her condition...
