Witcher: I Can Extract Everything

Chapter 258: Chase

A large number of fish appeared in the sea of blood.

It was a strange fish with an ugly appearance. Its large mouth was covered with two rows of sharp teeth, and its shriveled head had human-like facial features. It looked ferocious and terrifying.

It swam quickly in the sea. Although it was only about an inch long, its fighting strength was extremely shocking. Wherever it passed by, all the sea creatures it encountered would be bitten into pieces by it. This was how the sea of blood was formed.

‘Sea Monster Fish?’

Heath quickly recognized the identity of this school of fish. It was a low-level demonized creature that was extremely aggressive. Although they were not strong, they were numerous. Even whale-type sea kings could be gnawed into a skeleton in a moment. It was one of the most troublesome sea creatures in the deep sea. Moreover…

Heath looked towards the center of the school of fish.

There was a blue-skinned monster in the middle of the school of fish. It had a human-like body and torso, but its blue skin was covered with fine scales. Its arms, legs, and even the outer side of its back had long fins. Its head was a large fish head, and its cheeks were covered with six gills.

Sirens!

This was one of the more powerful sea creatures in the deep sea. It belonged to the Seafolk Race, a sub-intelligence species, and was a Wizard-level life form. An adult Sirens could even reach the level of a Rank 2 Wizard.

Sirens had two sets of delivery systems. One set of spawning system and one set of viviparous system. The spawning system could reproduce asexually. However, what was produced was not a baby Siren, but a Sea Monster Fish. It was the ugly and strange fish in the surroundings.

Every year, Sirens would breed a large number of Sea Monster Fish as their spawns, helping them to dominate the sea world.

The powerful mental strength that Heath had felt earlier came from this Siren.

At this moment, the Siren was moving towards them with the Sea Monster Fish surrounding it. It was like a king of the deep sea, having a feast in the ocean.

A large number of Sea Monster Fish were rampaging in the sealed ocean. Wherever they passed, be it sea fish, shrimp, or even shellfish, other than the sea lamp jellyfish that couldn’t be eaten… They were all torn into pieces by their sharp teeth and feasted on them.

Under such a terrifying attack, the marine creatures fled like crazy. However, this space had long been sealed by the Siren. The marine creatures’ escape was destined to be in vain.

In an instant, the originally peaceful situation was gone. The entire sea area was dyed red by the blood and turned into hell.

“What a disgusting monster. The sea was turned into such a mess by it.” Nina’s voice came from the spiritual sea, her tone full of displeasure.

Heath replied, “Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest. There’s nothing to say.”

Nina said, “That’s why I hate the Seafolk Race.”

Among the Nine Great Races, the Seafolk Race was not very popular. They were numerous and most of them were brutal. They always liked to be tyrannical and did not even put Wizards in their eyes.

“Be careful, they’re coming!”

While they were chatting, a Sea Monster Fish chased a Blue-Shell Crab to the hillside and started fighting with it.

A low-level sea creature like the Blue-Shell Crab was obviously not a match for the Sea Monster Fish. After a few cracking sounds, it was bitten into pieces by the sharp teeth of the Sea Monster Fish.

However, the Sea Monster Fish that ate the Blue-Shell Crab did not leave. It seemed to have found something. It raised its head and its two big nostrils kept shrinking and sniffing around, as if it was looking for something.

Heath’s eyebrows tightened. ‘This is bad.’

Although he had used a potion to remove his spiritual power, the smell released by his body was still there. The situation was not good at such a close distance…

As expected.

The Sea Monster Fish soon discovered Heath hiding among the corals. The huge fish tail swayed and shot out like an arrow leaving the bow, charging straight at Heath.

The corals and reefs along the way could not stop the sharp teeth of the Sea Monster Fish. With a few clicks, they were bitten into pieces.

Seeing that the Sea Monster Fish was getting closer and closer to him, Heath was helpless. He could only leave the corals where he was hiding. With a swing of his fish tail, he also flew in a direction.

In an instant, a chase began.

Heath, who had transformed into a fish, quickly wagged his fish tail and darted across the mountain slope. The Sea Monster Fish chased after him fiercely.

Heath had the foresight to cast the transformation spell and transformed into one of the fastest fish in the sea, the Swordfish. Although this fish was less than an inch long, its agility and speed were among the best among the deep-sea fish species, this weak life form relied on it to survive in nature and not be eliminated.

It was worth mentioning that the transformation spell could not be changed into anything. To transform into a living creature, one had to have a sufficient understanding of this creature. This required a lot of time and effort to master. Because of this, most Wizards could only master the changes of a few commonly used creatures. Almost no Wizards would master a life form like the Swordfish, which was almost impossible to use.

However, Heath was different. The life sequences extracted by the system contained the complete life order of the creature. In other words, as long as he had extracted the life sequence of a creature, he could change into it, and this was also the main reason why he could change the Swordfish at this time.

Swish swish swish!

Crack crack crack!

The sound of arrows and the sound of sharp teeth biting continuously rang out.

Heath swam quickly among the corals, using his nimble and small body to pick up the crevices of rocks, coral crevices, and even the aquatic plants.

With this clever method, Heath had always left the Sea Monster Fish that only knew how to charge and bite behind him. Moreover, when he passed through a group of aquatic plants, the Sea Monster Fish was entangled by the aquatic plants on the spot.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

However, before Heath could let out a sigh of relief and find a place to hide again, the sound of grinding teeth came from above again. He saw that two more Sea Monster Fish were targeting him.

‘D*mn it!’

Heath could only curse in his heart. Then, he began to escape again, displaying his speed and passion with the two Sea Monster Fish behind him.

The number of enemies doubled, and Heath immediately felt the pressure multiply. After all, no matter how fast the Swordfish were, there was a limit to their speed. No matter how agile their bodies were, there was a limit to it.

Before Heath could shake off the two Sea Monster Fish behind him, the first Sea Monster Fish also broke free from the shackles of the seaweed, and this vengeful guy immediately chased after him again.

3V1!

Heath only felt the pressure on his body increase. Only by constantly escaping to the area with complicated terrain could he barely bypass the Sea Monster Fishes’ pursuit.

Even so, the distance between the two was still closing at a visible speed.

What was worse was that the Siren above had clearly noticed him.

At this moment, most of the sea creatures in this area had been torn to shreds, which made Heath, the sea fish, particularly conspicuous. He could even survive several dangerous situations under the pursuit of three Sea Monster Fish, everything seemed very abnormal.

The Siren looked at Heath with interest and raised its finger to gently tap on his side.

Splash!

A water pillar shot up from below Heath without any warning. If Heath hadn’t sensed the abnormality in his spiritual power in advance and avoided the danger, he would have been hit.

He had dodged, but the Siren was obviously more interested, and its spiritual power immediately locked onto Heath’s body.

Heath frowned.

What should he do?

This kind of sub-intelligent life form didn’t have the possibility of negotiation… So he could only fight?

On land, he wasn’t afraid of the Siren, but this was the deep sea after all, so his strength would be greatly reduced. On the other hand, his opponent’s strength would be greatly strengthened under his home field. This battle wouldn’t be easy.

The difficulty of the battle was secondary. The key was the identity of the Siren.

Sirens were a member of the Seafolk Race. This race was famous for being vengeful and difficult to deal with. Once they were provoked, they would find ways to take revenge. Most Wizards were not willing to provoke them.

It was not proper for him to go to someone else’s territory to collect things. If he were to kill a Seafolk Race in someone else’s territory… It was not that easy to explain, was it?

It was precisely because of these considerations that Heath chose to hide rather than fight. He had originally planned to hide and wait for the monsters to finish wreaking havoc before leaving. Who knew that the situation would take a turn for the worse?

‘Let’s try and see if we can communicate first…’

After thinking for a moment, Heath silently made a decision. Although the intelligence of sub-intelligent lifeforms was not that great, they were not completely wild beasts. There was a certain possibility of communicating.

If they really could not communicate…

In any case, this sea area had already been completely sealed by the enchantment. It was not that difficult to destroy the corpses and destroy the evidence…

A cold light flashed in Heath’s eyes.

Thinking about this, he was ready to release a spell to restore his body. However, at this moment, a light suddenly lit up under the sea. It was vaguely visible that there was a crack on the hillside below. There were many small stones under the crack.

Like the Sea Lamp Jellyfish, these stones also emitted light. The light that Heath saw just now was emitted by one of the stones.

“This is… Sea Billow Stone?”

Sea Billow Stone was a kind of ore in the deep sea. It would emit light in the sea. Like the Sea Lamp Jellyfish, it was also one of the sources of light in the deep sea.

“Great!”

Seeing this, Heath’s face lit up. Without hesitation, he waved his fish tail and quickly darted into the crack.

The formation of the Sea Billow Stone had a prerequisite. The most basic one was that this kind of stone needed to have enough contact with the seawater, and there must be a relatively closed space around it. Because of this, these stones would usually only be produced in some hollow areas in the deep sea or underwater caves.

With a whoosh, Heath darted into the crevice.

This crevice was about an inch long and very thin, just enough for him to pass through. The Sea Monster Fishes behind him was blocked because their head was too big and too wide. The Sea Monster Fishes could only gnaw on the ground with their teeth bared.

Heath turned his head to take a look. After confirming that they could not enter and could not gnaw open the ground, he could not be bothered with these guys anymore.

He turned his body and looked forward.

At this moment, he was in a space with a diameter of about ten centimeters. The surrounding walls were covered with Sea Billow Stones.

The stones emitted a faint light, illuminating the scene in front of him.

However, when Heath saw the scene in front of him clearly, he could not help but be stunned.

In front of him was actually…
