Leveling Up With My Pet

Chapter 209 A—White Strange C***.**.

?

In the depths of the vast ocean, a breathtaking sight unfolded before Bawang's eyes. A magnificent creature emerged from the murky depths he had ever seen. Its sheer size was awe-inspiring, stretching over 30 meters long with a weight exceeding 200 tons. 

This colossal fish boasted a flawless white body, devoid of any markings, while its disproportionately large mouth revealed rows of menacing fangs that sent shivers down one's spine.

The sheer magnitude of this magnificent white fish took Bawang aback. Although he had encountered similar white fish in the past, they paled in comparison, reaching a maximum length of a mere ten meters and weighing a modest 20 to 30 tons.

The Overlord, aware of the significance of the situation, adopted a focused stance. He understood this was not a foe to be underestimated but a genuine adversary capable of inflicting harm.

With a flick of its powerful tail, the white fish surged forward, its mouth gaping wide, ready to clamp down with formidable force. The Overlord, seething with anger, protested, [ " I haven't made a move, yet you charge at me so recklessly! " ]

In a swift motion, the Overlord evaded the creature's ferocious bite, retaliating with a lightning-fast thrust of his massive spear. However, the agile white fish dodged the blow, its flexibility defying its colossal size.

Undeterred, the monstrous white fish lunged once again, its jaws capable of devouring a large vehicle, leaving no doubt as to the strength of its bite. 

The Overlord caught off guard, found himself unable to dodge and resorted to using his mighty spear as a shield, bracing for impact.

-BOOM!

A resounding boom echoed through the depths as the massive jaws of the white fish clamped down on the giant spear. The Overlord felt an immense force pressing against him, almost causing him to lose his grip on the weapon.

-CRACK! CRACK!

The sound of cracking teeth reverberated as several of the creature's fangs shattered upon clashing with the sturdy spear. Though the giant weapon remained unscathed primarily, its surface bore the marks of the intense struggle.

Amused by the ordeal, the Overlord couldn't help but revel in the sourness that had engulfed the creature's mouth while attempting to sink its teeth into steel. 

The sensation of biting something as complicated as iron has left the creature's mouth puckering with an acrid taste.

Realizing the futility of its efforts, the white fish abruptly retreated, creating a safe distance of about 200 meters, its anger palpable as it faced the Overlord with renewed intensity. It now understood that the Overlord was no mere fish on a chopping board, easily handled and manipulated. 

The Overlord's fighting prowess likely surpassed its own.

Engaging in a standoff, the Overlord's thoughts wandered, contemplating the dangers present in this treacherous trench. If one or two more of these formidable white fish lurked nearby, the situation would quickly escalate into a dangerous encounter.

Deciding it was time to escape the trench's confines, the Overlord prepared to swim away. Suddenly, his heightened senses detected multiple similar white fish approaching the vicinity, albeit smaller. 

Weighing his options, the Overlord swiftly withdrew from the trench, determined to avoid detection.

The Overlord traversed hundreds of nautical miles in a single breath, eventually settling in a flat seabed with a depth exceeding 1,000 meters. He examined the colossal white fish skewered on his giant spear, contemplating the feast before him.

The Overlord's anticipation grew as he realized that this immense white fish would provide him with several hearty meals. Recalling previous encounters with smaller versions of the same species, which weighed a mere dozen or twenty tons, he knew that this specimen surpassed them by a staggering two hundred tons.

With great relish, the Overlord began to feast upon the fruits of his labour. Each bite yielded hundreds of kilograms of succulent fish meat, the taste so exquisite that it left him craving more. Lost in the indulgence of his meal, he savoured every morsel, declaring, [ " Mmm, it's delicious! If only I could savour this fish every day, my life would be complete. " ]

As he devoured over 30 tons of fish, a satisfying belch of satisfaction escaped the Overlord. While consuming the strange white fish, he discovered an abundance of fat-like substance in its belly—oily, fragrant, and even more delectable. 

Having finished the massive fish, he set aside the remaining skeleton, internal organs, and luscious fat for his next meal. After all, wasting such a valuable resource was out of the question. With three or four meals daily, the Overlord relished indulging himself for a day or two.

Life became a source of pride for the Overlord, who no longer worried about finding sustenance. The magnificent white fish became his reliable food source, satisfying his voracious appetite. When his hunger was appeased, he would explore the surrounding areas, occasionally venturing back into the treacherous trench. 

Though he encountered a few more colossal white fish like the one before, the Overlord skillfully evaded their notice, determined to secure another delectable catch.

After consuming seven or eight meals, with only a skeleton remaining, the Overlord prepared to venture back into the trench to hunt for another feast. However, just as he was about to swim away, a voice echoed in his mind, disrupting his plans. It was Liu Yong, his master, informing him of a new mission.

[ " Overlord, there is a mission, " ] Liu Yong's voice resounded in his thoughts.

Aware of Bawang's recent activities, Liu Yong closely watched him, regularly checking the pet panel and monitoring his progress from a third-person vision. 

Initially surprised by the sight of such a colossal white fish, rivalling the size of a whale, with an extraordinary head and an exaggeratedly large mouth, Liu Yong soon realized that the magical ocean held countless wonders, including this remarkable creature.

As Liu Yong explained the task, the Overlord found himself located approximately a thousand nautical miles away from the Gulf of Aden. 

[ " We have a ship about to enter the Gulf of Aden. Your role is to escort it safely through the Red Sea, ensuring it remains undisturbed by pirates. " ] Liu Yong instructed Bawang.

Eager to carry out his master's command, the Overlord readily accepted the mission without hesitation. Thoughts of hunting another extraordinary white fish faded into the background as he focused on fulfilling his duty.

Armed with a colossal spear measuring 50 meters, the Overlord embarked on his journey towards the Gulf of Aden. With each powerful stroke of his massive flippers, he propelled himself forward, resembling an unstoppable force beneath the ocean's surface.

Advancing at an astonishing speed exceeding 230 knots, the Overlord covered over a thousand nautical miles in just four to five hours, unfazed by the lack of rest or fatigue.

As he approached the waters of the Gulf of Aden, the Overlord's attention was piqued by a captivating sight unfolding before him. 

A colossal ship, with a visual displacement of more than 150,000 tons, lay not far ahead in the vast expanse of the sea. The ship bore the markings of the Risheng Ocean Shipping Group, indicating its intent to traverse the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea en route to Europe via the Suez Canal.

Intrigued by the unfolding drama, the Overlord halted his journey, fixating his gaze upon the scene before him. Several pirate speedboats had encircled the ship, their intentions unmistakably clear—they sought to hijack and plunder its valuable cargo.
