Doomsday Code

Chapter 1058 Being Watched

Take, for example, the Elven race, to which Melos and her companions belong. The World Tree they worship is a creation born from the combination of technology and magic.

Therefore, the sea god mentioned by the Red Ray Queen is very likely a remnant of an ancient civilization, and it is very likely that it was a self-aware being.

The phase armor she wore, a creation that falls into the category of weaponry, is similar to the space armor he knew about in the Nanmu Ruins; it must have some kind of access restriction. The fact that she could wear and use it clearly indicates that the restriction had been lifted, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to use it.

Sheli didn't make another move at this moment. He could tell that Chen Cheng wanted to get some information from the Red Ray Queen.

The Red Ray Queen shook her head at Chen Cheng and said:

“You are wrong. The sea god has never given us armor and weapons. What he has given us is this vast ocean.”

"So it seems you are not the child of the sea god."

The Queen of Red Rays sounded somewhat forlorn at this moment.

At this moment, Sfit asked:

"Your Majesty, what did you mean when you said we were being watched by the Sea God? Does that mean the Eye of the Storm has its eyes on us?"

Sfit is indeed a combat captain; she always manages to get to the point when asking questions.

What sea god or anything like that, those are not the issues we need to focus on right now.

They're currently at sea, and if that sea god sets his sights on them and drags them to some strange place, they'll face a life-or-death crisis.

You should know that whether it's the legend or the giant eye of the storm they saw before, there were truly no survivors.

The Red Ray Queen smiled at Sfit and said:

“You are very clever. You escaped from the eye of the storm, which naturally attracted the attention of the Father God. The Father God will not let you leave.”

At this moment, the Red Ray Queen felt no pity for Chen Cheng and his companions being targeted and dying by the giant eye of the storm; she felt only joy and excitement.

But none of the people on the ship were in the same good mood as her at that moment.

"Go down and continue repairing the core of the ship. We must cross the World Sea before that area finds us."

Chen Cheng sighed.

However, the Red Ray Queen shook her head and said:

"It's no use. No matter how fast you are, you can't escape. The entire ocean is the Father God's domain, and the Father God can descend upon any sea at any time."

At this moment, from among the surrounding sea creature army, an old crab-like sea creature rode the waves to report:

"Your Majesty, the people of the Flood Whale Clan are here, and they are heading towards the eye of the storm."

The Red Ray Queen chuckled softly upon hearing this, then waved her hand and said:

"Go, children, I, the Red Ray Queen, grant you the right to hunt. Go and enjoy it to the fullest."

As the Crimson Ray Queen finished speaking, the sea creatures surrounding the magic ship all roared. Then, like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey, they devoured the corpses of the sea creatures that had been killed and floating on the surface.

Then all the sea creatures, like vicious wolves, pounced towards the direction the old crab had mentioned the approaching Hongjing sea creatures.

Seeing them devour the corpses of their companions, especially since they were a group of intelligent beings, honestly, this scene made Chen Cheng and his companions feel physically uncomfortable and nauseous.

Ireland's pretty face was also slightly pale, but thankfully she didn't vomit like Chen Cheng and the others.

"Don't...don't make a fuss. Look how prolific these sea creatures are. If they were all as civilized as us, the ocean would have been unable to support them for a long time."

Just think of these ordinary sea creatures as larger fish, shrimp, and crabs.

"Stop talking, or I'll feel like throwing up again."

After all, whether or not they possess intelligence and the ability to speak makes a huge difference to Chen Cheng and his group.

The Red Ray Queen showed no surprise or disgust, which is why, despite Chen Cheng and his group killing so many sea creatures, she did not destroy the magic ship or kill them out of hatred.

Because in their culture, death is so common that often, even without external enemies, they fight amongst themselves, and the survivors devour the dead.

"There's no need to grieve for them; they've simply returned to the embrace of the Father ahead of schedule."

Chen Cheng wiped his mouth, neither confirming nor denying the matter.

"Now that other sea creatures have arrived, why are you still staying here, Queen? Aren't you afraid that some Flood Whale King will beat you to it?"

At this moment, the Red Ray Queen removed her helmet, and her long, fiery red hair cascaded down like a waterfall. Looking at Chen Cheng with her deep red eyes, the Red Ray Queen smiled:

"No, it's too late for them, because the Father has already made his choice."

As they got closer, Chen Cheng also noticed the differences between himself and the Red Ray Queen.

In terms of appearance, they are not like other sea creatures, where one is human and the other is fish, shrimp and crab.

Both of them are humanoid.

The only difference is that behind the ears of the Queen Red Ray, the papillae behind her ears have changed, becoming organs similar to fish gills.

Furthermore, when on land, this gill opening is tightly closed, almost invisible unless you look very closely. It only opens and closes slightly in sync with the Queen of the Red Rays' breathing.

It's clear that she's not yet used to being on land and is unconsciously adopting the breathing pattern that's in the sea.

"Do you know that the moment you take off your helmet, your life no longer belongs to you?"

The Red Ray Queen looked slightly surprised upon hearing Chen Cheng's words. However, behind her, Sheli had already pointed a bottle of stingray venom powder at her still slightly damp breathing opening.

"Lifia, use your domain to envelop the magic ship and get on the way. Sasha and Lina, you two will lead the way. Jelina, you come with me to repair the magic ship's core."

Chen Cheng gave instructions to the others.

Then he nodded to Sheli, and then looked at the Red Ray Queen and said:

"If the Queen doesn't want anything to happen, she'd better not move around. Now that you're without your helmet, using Phase Shift is just asking for death."

I don't want to see a beautiful head fall off like that.

And you must believe that Sheli is the fastest among us; he will definitely pour the poison into your respiratory gills before you show any signs of distress.

Oh, and one more thing, you'd better not control the closing of the gill openings, otherwise Sheli might misunderstand.

After Chen Cheng finished speaking, he turned around and followed Jelina down to the bottom of the cabin.

"Although I don't know if what the Red Ray Queen said is true, we need to speed things up. I'll handle the repair of the magic circle, and you can guide me with the original diagram."

Jeline didn't hesitate. She provided the correct guidance on the magic array patterns, while Chen Cheng quickly repaired the core magic array based on her instructions.

With this kind of cooperation, the repair speed is much faster than when the two of them work together.

On the deck, the Red Ray Queen hadn't expected Chen Cheng to pull such a stunt, but that didn't matter anymore; she had already achieved her goal.
