Ertin didn't know what misfortune had befallen him.
First, he was kicked by a human child into a group of carnivorous seaweed, and it took quite an effort to break free.
Then, his detector malfunctioned, leading him straight into a nest of bloodthirsty ants, nearly costing him half his life to escape.
Bloodthirsty ants differed from other demon beasts; they were only the size of an adult's thumb and numbered in the billions, making them impossible to eradicate. As soon as he entered, he immediately encountered a terrifying attack, got covered in bloodthirsty ants that frantically tore at him. Not only that, but he was also pursued for thousands of light-years before he finally managed to shake them off.
This whole scene was projected to Guding by the Sea Emperor, and both of them watched it with laughter.
As time passed, the deeper everyone dived, the greater the pressure in the Second Floor Sea Domain became, and the water grew colder.
