Chapter 888: 888
Endless secrets were buried inside the boundless ocean . Even the 'Sea Clan', who claimed to be dominators of the ocean, could only live in the offshore area near the continental shelf where the resources were abundant .
After diving in the deep sea for an entire day, making sure that nobody was following them, the sky-hunting warship finally leapt out of the ocean and flew at a high speed close to the surface of the ocean!
Half a day later, they reached the 'White Silver Continent', which was the smallest, the most barren, and the least populated of the three continents of the Blood Demon Sector .
Inside the cabin that was filled with buffer liquids, an extendable synthesized nerve had been planted on the cabin wall behind every passenger . Through the interface at the back of the cell infiltration suit, it was very convenient to connect the passenger's brain to the entire skeleton warship and form an enormous command and battle network .
On the surface of the skeleton warship, dozens of enormous biochemical observation eyes were growing . Such biochemical eyes, which were made with the eyeballs of the deep-sea squid as prototypes and had received all kinds of genetic optimization and refinement, were among the most precise observation equipment both in the Heaven's Origin Sector and in the Blood Demon Sector . On every square millimeter of the retina, there were more than a million visual cones that could perceive the light, making the sensitivity of the eye hundreds of times more than that of an ordinary human being and allowing them to clearly see the undersea environment hundreds of meters below the surface despite the darkness .
When the passengers connected to the skeleton warship, they would be able to share the vision of all the biochemical eyes and enjoy the splendid view of nature .
The White Silver Continent deserved its name . If one looked at the horizon, it was indeed a magnificent world built with silver .
After a flight of more than two hours, they did not even see a plant, much less a demon beast . As far as one's eyes could reach, dull and boring sand was everywhere .
The seemingly spectacular environment was in fact full of perils .
Because of the climate and the magnetic field, the entire White Silver Planet was made of a special type of sand named 'White Sulphur Sand' . It was a continent of deserts, also known as the 'White Silver Death Desert' .
The White Sulphur Sand's surface was extremely smooth . It was even softer and greasier than mercury . The tiniest breeze was enough to blow it into the most terrifying quicksand .
On the continent, the natural environment was changing almost every second and every minute . There was not a stable appearance at all . Any creature that touched the White Sulphur Sand would be deeply mired in it and drowned within several minutes .
On the other hand, the White Sulphur Sand was extremely reflective and could return almost all the sunlight . As a result, not only was it impossible for the White Silver Death Desert to accumulate any energy, it was also radiated by the sun without the slightest shadow every minute during the day . It was truly a death zone .
No creature could survive in the White Silver Death Desert . Even the demons whose bodies were tough and who were adaptive to various kinds of environments considered the White Silver Death Desert a hot and silent graveyard .
After hundreds of years of prospecting, no important resources were discovered on the White Silver Continent . The only thing that could be found in this place was sand and more sand .
Therefore, the Pantheon of Demons would rather risk developing new world fragments than wasting precious resources in the bottomless hole .
On the horizon, a black spot gradually appeared . On the contrary to the White Silver Death Desert, it was like a two-dimensional blackhole that absorbed all the rays of sunlight .
It was a great lake of the Blood Demon Sector—the Star Swallowing Sea!
Since the lake was named a 'sea', it was not hard to imagine how vast the inland lake was .
It was weird enough that an enormous lake should exist at the center of the desolate White Silver Death Desert, but there were more uncanny things about the Star Swallowing Sea .
The area around the Star Swallowing Sea, just like Void Turmoil City and the Dark Desolate Domain, boasted an independent small climate . Clouds might appear, raising thunder and lightning that would tear the sky and the earth apart, at any moment .
The lake water of the Sea Swallowing Sea, in the meantime, contained a lot of heavy metal constituents, which made the water as thick as oil and carry lethal poison .
The lake that contained heavy metal triggered the abnormal blast of the magnetic field, forming invisible turbulences above the Star Swallowing Sea that would disturb the brains of living creatures and make them lose their direction should they come close to the Sea Swallowing Sea . They would fall into the Sea Swallowing Sea and drown in the poisonous lake water .
That was how the Sea Swallowing Sea got its name . It was a terrifying lake that could even swallow the stars!
In the past, a number of specialists of the demon race were curious about the environment of the Sea Swallowing Sea and initiated large-scale surveying, but to no avail . During the one mission with the direst consequences, they even lost a dozen skeleton warships and thousands of warriors .
However hard the specialists probed, they did not find any valuable mother lodes, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, or strong demon beasts around the Star Swallowing Sea . Even if the bottom of the Star Swallowing Sea really stored abundant mother lodes, with the technology of the demon race right now, the cost to develop them would be astronomical, and it was certainly not worthwhile .
Therefore, since decades ago, the White Silver Death Desert and the Star Swallowing Sea had been in the most primitive state without any inhabitants .
But right now, the sky-hunting warship of the Blade of Chaos had barged into the most dangerous water of the Blood Demon Sector .
It was not until he moved deeper into the Star Swallowing Sea that Li Yao began to understand why an inland lake could be called a 'sea'!
Looking back through the biochemical eye on the surface of the skeleton warship, Li Yao discovered that the White Silver Death Desert was nothing but a shallow white line right now, and the boundless lake in front of him was as impressive as the ocean that they had passed through the day before .
