Chapter 357: Deep at the Bottom of the Sea, the Haunting Sea Dragon!

Ning Fei changed into his diving suit.

The diving suit had a built-in headlamp. The viewers watched as Ning Fei, fully suited, emerged directly from the Submarine's rear hatch.

His appearance was fully visible in the ocean.

Clad entirely in black, the light glowing on his head illuminated the water ahead.

The underwater environment was already somewhat oppressive. When Ning Fei emerged looking like this, it made everyone feel even more afraid.

But at that moment, another unexpected situation occurred.

A chubby fish with a glowing light on its head leisurely swam past Ning Fei.

The fish had a drooping antenna on its head. It glowed brightly, making it look as though the creature were carrying a lantern.

Seeing the fish and Ning Fei side by side made them look like two brothers out for a night stroll.

The fish even shot Ning Fei a glance, as if to say, "Good heavens, since when did my kind get so big?"

The viewers found this incredibly amusing, and the atmosphere in the stream instantly turned cheerful.

"What's with this fish with a light on its head?"

"I suspect it's imitating Temple Master Ning."

"Deep-sea fish: 'Are you out here with a lantern looking for a wife too?'"

"This scene is truly magical."

"Hahaha, this is too funny. I can't believe a sea fish like this exists."

The netizens were delighted.

The sight of Ning Fei and the lanternfish crossing paths was genuinely hilarious.

Ning Fei was also amazed by the fish.

"The ocean floor is generally pitch black, and deep-sea fish often look extremely bizarre. Since no one can see them anyway, they just grow however they please."

"But a fish with a glowing light on its head is quite rare."

"It's highly likely it uses the light to attract smaller fish so it can prey on them."

"After all, the waters here aren't too deep."

Ning Fei said, watching the sea fish in front of him.

His helmet was a transparent glass dome design, allowing him to speak freely inside without any hindrance.

Ning Fei could feel the pressure of the seabed. It was indeed immense.

However, the diving suit had an internal pressure-balancing device and a high-end respirator. Both were capable of adapting to the deep-sea pressure, allowing him to breathe freely.

Furthermore, his physical constitution was incredibly strong, so he didn't feel any discomfort.

"Temple Master Ning is amazing. As a professional diver, I can tell you that an ordinary person without special training wouldn't be able to handle diving to a depth of a hundred meters."

"Exactly. I've been learning to dive for two years. My coach said an average person's maximum diving limit is forty to fifty meters. Anything over a hundred meters is strictly for professionals. Yet here is Temple Master Ning, diving straight into the sea at over two hundred meters."

"And his swimming posture shows he's clearly studied diving!"

"Is he really that incredible? My god, exactly how many skills does Temple Master Ning have?"

"Piloting a Submarine, descending into a trench... Is this something an ordinary person can do?"

"How many times do I have to explain it? He's an immortal! An immortal, understand?"

Ning Fei slowly swam forward.

He was already hovering at the edge of the ocean trench.

He looked down; below was nothing but pitch black.

At this moment, a single phrase echoed in everyone's minds:

"When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."

Seeing such a scene, many people finally formed a visceral impression of the abyss and understood the phrase much more clearly.

Because right now, the sight made it feel as though the trench was staring back at everyone.

The Tuna Submarine swam into the trench right away.

It turned on its lights as well.

Then, the Tuna aimed its camera up at the trench.

These streaming props were exceptionally smart, knowing exactly what kind of scene held the most artistic mood—they were even better than professional-grade photographers.

Through the stream's lens, the viewers saw a blue rift in the pitch-black "sky."

They understood that they were currently inside the trench, while Ning Fei was up above.

Next, they watched as Ning Fei leapt down, gliding through the blue rift and heading straight for the depths of the trench.

This scene was far too breathtaking.

Everyone stared blankly at Ning Fei as he descended.

Only a person with no fear in their heart would dare to be so free and unrestrained.

Ning Fei roamed within the trench.

The two-hundred-meter deep sea was only very dim; it wasn't completely invisible.

However, due to its internal structure, the trench couldn't reflect light, making it appear pitch black.

When Ning Fei entered the trench, everyone could still see some of the underwater scenery.

Ning Fei swam downward.

The walls on both sides grew narrower and narrower.

Still, it was quite easy to accommodate a person swimming.

Seeing that there was no danger, the viewers gradually relaxed.

After all, humans are filled with fear toward the unknown. Once they can truly see things clearly, they realize it isn't so terrifying after all.

"There's seaweed growing at the bottom of the trench!"

Ning Fei suddenly spoke up in surprise.

The viewers followed the stream's camera and discovered that a large patch of seaweed, over half a meter tall, was growing on the sloped walls, constantly swaying with the underwater undercurrents.

"There are many types of seaweed. For this kind to grow in a trench with such scarce sunlight is quite peculiar."

Ning Fei clicked his tongue in wonder.

He also saw a few small fish in the trench.

To deep-sea creatures, the trench was just like a canyon. Apart from the dimmer light, the environment wasn't much different from above.

Moreover, because the seawater surged inward, a lot of food debris would fall into it, making it even more suitable for the growth of small fish.

Ning Fei continued swimming forward.

This was definitely a rare and precious video of a human exploring an ocean trench.

The viewers watched the stream with rapt attention.

Everyone felt that the world inside the trench was quite magical.

However, right at this moment, some viewers seemed to spot something.

The live chat suddenly became densely packed with comments.

"Holy shit! What is that?"

"You guys saw it too, right? I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me!"

"It looks like something white, and it glows!"

"I got a relatively clear look. It seemed like a long white snake."

"There can't possibly be a long snake in a trench like this, right?"

"Could it be a dragon? Does a dragon live in the trench?"

"What are you all talking about?"

"Did you not see it just now? A huge, long white snake showed up behind Temple Master Ning!"

"Are you serious? You guys must be seeing things!"

The netizens excitedly debated among themselves.

The originally peaceful stream instantly grew tense again.

Many people expressed disbelief.

How could a long white dragon exist in the underwater world?

At this moment, Ning Fei also sensed movement behind him.

He slowly turned his head.

The Tuna's streaming perspective immediately switched over as well.

Then, everyone froze.

They felt a chill shoot up from the soles of their feet directly to the crowns of their heads.

Because on the screen, a white "dragon" had truly appeared.

This white dragon was about five or six meters long, much longer than a human.

At this very moment, the dragon swam over from the distance of the trench, wriggling its body and charging straight at Ning Fei.

This scene was far too terrifying.

For humans, encountering a massive creature in the deep sea was even scarier than running into a tiger on land!

Ning Fei immediately recognized the creature.

"It's an oarfish!"

"This is bad! Oarfish are carnivorous and fiercely aggressive. They'll even cannibalize each other."

"The light must have attracted it."

Ning Fei's expression turned serious.

This thing looked just like a normal ribbonfish stretched out over a dozen times; even a python might not be as big as it!

Immediately, he assumed a defensive stance, preparing to thoroughly clash with the oarfish.
