jià zhí 2000 diǎn gòng xiàn dù lóng jīng jiù zhè me zì jǐ chū xiàn zài lǐ fán miàn qián bù shuō ， hái qiǎng le tā de rèn wù bào chóu 。
价值2000点贡献度龙鲸就这么自己出现在李凡面前不说，还抢了它的任务报酬。
The dragon whale, worth 2000 points of contribution value, just appeared before Li Fan without warning and even stole its mission reward.
zhè lǐ fán rú hé néng rěn ？
这李凡如何能忍？
How could Li Fan tolerate this?
zhù jī xiū shì nài hé bù liǎo zhè lóng jīng ， dàn lǐ fán què wèi bì bù néng shā tā ！
筑基修士奈何不了这龙鲸，但李凡却未必不能杀他！
A Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't harm the dragon whale, but Li Fan might be able to kill it!
lǐ fán yǎn jīng wēi mī ， wú xiāng shā jī dùn shí láo láo suǒ dìng le lóng jīng 。
李凡眼睛微眯，无相杀机顿时牢牢锁定了龙鲸。
Li Fan's eyes narrowed slightly as a formless killing intent locked onto the dragon whale tightly.
ěr biān de ní nán hé yǎn qián mí huàn de jǐng xiàng zài cì chū xiàn 。
耳边的呢喃和眼前迷幻的景像再次出现。
Whispers in his ears and the hallucinatory scenes before his eyes reappeared.
zhǐ bù guò ， zhè yī cì bǐ shàng cì suǒ dìng wàn hù fǎ shí ， fù zuò yòng yào xiǎo le bù shǎo 。
只不过，这一次比上次锁定万护法时，副作用要小了不少。
However, compared to last time when locking onto Wan Hafu, the side effects were much less severe this time.
lǐ fán hěn kuài huī fù guò lái ， kàn zhe qián fāng lóng jīng kuài yào xiāo shī de shēn yǐng ， kuài sù gēn le shàng qù 。
李凡很快恢复过来，看着前方龙鲸快要消失的身影，快速跟了上去。
Li Fan quickly recovered and watched the dragon whale's fading figure, following it closely.
yì shòu lóng jīng sī háo méi yǒu chá jué zì jǐ yǐ jīng bèi yī gǔ shā jī dīng shàng le 。
异兽龙鲸丝毫没有察觉自己已经被一股杀机盯上了。
The dragon whale, an anomalous beast, was unaware that a killing intent had been fixed on it.
cǐ kè ， tā zhèng zài shēn hǎi zhōng sì chù liè shā 。
此刻，它正在深海中四处猎杀。
At this moment, it was hunting in the deep sea. The throbbing sensation from its raised part signaled that it was close to achieving something significant.
tóu dǐng tū qǐ chù chuán lái de tiào dòng gào sù tā ， kuài le 。
头顶凸起处传来的跳动告诉它，快了。
As long as it continued hunting like this, soon its body would undergo a transformative change, allowing it to shed this ugly form and transform into the divine appearance in its mind.
zhǐ yào zài zhè me liè shā xià qù ， yào bù le duō jiǔ ， tā de shēn shàng ， jiù huì fā shēng fān tiān fù dì de biàn huà 。
只要再这么猎杀下去，要不了多久，它的身上，就会发生翻天覆地的变化。
The dragon whale roamed through the deep sea, feeling as comfortable as strolling in its own garden.
jiù néng zì cǐ tuō lí zhè fù chǒu lòu de shēn qū ， huà zuò nǎo hǎi zhōng de nà fù shén shèng mú yàng 。
就能自此脱离这副丑陋的身躯，化作脑海中的那副神圣模样。
After some time, it spotted another prey ahead—it was one of its kind, a female dragon whale.
lóng jīng zài shēn hǎi zhōng xún shì zhe ， rú tóng zài zì jiā huā yuán lǐ sàn bù bān qiè yì 。
龙鲸在深海中巡视着，如同在自家花园里散步般惬意。
Drawn by the powerful opposite sex aura, the female approached submissively.
mò guò duō jiǔ ， tā zài qián fāng yòu fā xiàn le liè wù ， nà shì tā de tóng lèi 。
没过多久，它在前方又发现了猎物，那是它的同类。
Seeing this beautiful existence among its peers, the dragon whale felt disgust and revulsion.
tóng yàng shì yī tóu lóng jīng 。
同样是一头龙鲸。
This is my kind?
zhǐ bù guò shì mǔ de 。
只不过是母的。
How absurd.
mǔ lóng jīng bèi qiáng dà de yì xìng qì xī suǒ xī yǐn ， tǎo hǎo bān de yóu shàng qián lái 。
母龙鲸被强大的异性气息所吸引，讨好般的游上前来。
A dangerous light flickered in the dragon whale's eyes.
yì shòu lóng jīng kàn zhuó yǎn qián zhè tóu zài zú qún zhōng jué duì suàn de shàng shì “ piào liàng ” de cún zài ， xīn zhōng gǎn dào de què shì yī zhèn ě xīn hé yàn wù 。
异兽龙鲸看着眼前这头在族群中绝对算的上是“漂亮”的存在，心中感到的却是一阵恶心和厌恶。
When the female got close enough, it opened its bloodstained maw and swallowed her without mercy.
zhè jiù shì zì jǐ de tóng lèi ？
这就是自己的同类？
What a pitiful creature!
zhēn shì huāng miù 。
真是荒谬。
As it digested the flesh, the dragon whale couldn't help but recall its past.
yì shòu lóng jīng de yǎn jīng zhōng fàn qǐ wēi xiǎn de guāng máng 。
异兽龙鲸的眼睛中泛起危险的光芒。
Once, like this unfortunate soul, it had wandered aimlessly at the bottom of the sea, relying on instinct for food, mating, and survival.
děng mǔ lóng jīng kào jìn le ， tā zhāng kāi xuè pén jù kǒu ， háo bù liú qíng dì jiāng qí yī kǒu tūn jìn le dǔ zi lǐ 。
等母龙鲸靠近了，它张开血盆巨口，毫不留情地将其一口吞进了肚子里。
But one day, everything changed as if awakening from a long nightmare. It began to awaken its consciousness.
kě bēi de jiā huo ！
可悲的家伙！
It set goals for itself—becoming stronger, like those flying creatures above the surface.
jìng jìng dì xiāo huà zhe dù zhōng de xuè ròu ， yì shòu lóng jīng bù jīn xiǎng qǐ le zì jǐ de cóng qián 。
静静地消化着肚中的血肉，异兽龙鲸不禁想起了自己的从前。
Its mind was filled with new knowledge, allowing it to discern what to consume for rapid growth.
céng jīng de tā ， yě shì rú zhè kě lián chóng yì bān ， hún hún è è de yóu dàng zài hǎi dǐ 。
曾经的它，也是如这可怜虫一般，浑浑噩噩的游荡在海底。
Its premonitions grew more accurate.
yī kào běn néng jìn shí 、 qiú ǒu 、 shēng huó 。
依靠本能进食、求偶、生活。
Every time it approached certain areas of the sea floor, it felt immense danger. So it always avoided these places while feeding.
dàn cóng mǒu tiān kāi shǐ ， yī qiè dōu tū rán biàn dé bù yí yàng le 。
但从某天开始，一切都突然变得不一样了。
It grew faster and smarter, eventually being able to sense helpful things from the surface in the deep sea.
fǎng fú cóng xǔ jiǔ de è mèng zhōng sū xǐng yì bān ， tā kāi shǐ jué xǐng zì jǐ yì shí 。
仿佛从许久的噩梦中苏醒一般，它开始觉醒自己意识。
For the first time, it ventured out of the ocean onto an island, feasting freely before quickly retreating when danger approached.
tā yǒu le zì jǐ de mù biāo 。
它有了自己的目标。
From then on, a raised part appeared on its forehead.
tā yào biàn qiáng ， biàn de rú tóng nà xiē zhěng rì zài hǎi miàn shàng fāng fēi xíng de shēng wù yī yàng qiáng 。
它要变强，变的如同那些整日在海面上方飞行的生物一样强。
In its mind, a powerful anomalous beast's form emerged.
tā de nǎo hǎi zhōng píng kōng duō chū le xǔ duō zhī shí 。
它的脑海中凭空多出了许多知识。
An inner sense told it that this was the immense power hidden in its bloodline.
yú shì tā zhī dào ， tūn shí xiāo huà nǎ xiē dōng xī ， zì jǐ cái néng zuì kuài de chéng zhǎng 。
于是它知道，吞食消化哪些东西，自己才能最快的成长。
By continuously devouring and absorbing, it could become as strong as its ancestors!
tā de yù gǎn yě yuè lái yuè zhǔn 。
它的预感也越来越准。
Yes! Unrelentingly devour! No one can stop me!
hǎi dǐ de jǐ gè dì fāng ， měi měi kào jìn ， tā dōu gǎn dào wú bǐ de wēi xiǎn 。
海底的几个地方，每每靠近，它都感到无比的危险。
A dangerous aura pulled the dragon whale back from its memories to the present.
yú shì tā zǒng shì rào zhe zhè xiē dì fāng jìn shí 。
于是它总是绕着这些地方进食。
Suddenly, a huge sea snake blocked its path.
tā chéng zhǎng de sù dù yuè lái yuè kuài ， tā biàn dé yuè lái yuè cōng míng 。
它成长的速度越来越快，它变得越来越聪明。
In memory, this sea snake had been alive for a long time. It was already the ruler of these waters when it was born.
jiàn jiàn de ， shèn zhì néng zài hǎi dǐ ， gǎn shòu dào hǎi miàn shàng nà xiē duì tā lái shuō yǒu bāng zhù de dōng xī 。
渐渐的，甚至能在海底，感受到海面上那些对它来说有帮助的东西。
Formerly, it had always avoided this snake for safety. But now...
yú shì ， tā shēng píng dì yī cì chōng chū le dà hǎi ， zài hǎi dǎo shàng jìn qíng tūn shí 。
于是，它生平第一次冲出了大海，在海岛上尽情吞食。
The dragon whale's eyes gleamed with greed as it lunged at the sea snake.
bìng qiě zài wēi xiǎn jí jiāng dào lái zhī shí kuài sù lí kāi 。
并且在危险即将到来之时快速离开。
After a fierce battle, blood stained the seabed.
cóng nà zhī hòu ， tā de é tóu jiù chū xiàn le yī piàn lóng qǐ 。
从那之后，它的额头就出现了一片隆起。
The dragon whale swallowed the most precious part of the sea snake.
bìng qiě ， zài tā de nǎo zhōng fú xiàn le yī zhī qiáng dà wú bǐ de yì shòu de shēn yǐng 。
并且，在它的脑中浮现了一只强大无比的异兽的身影。
Warm energy surged from its stomach, healing its wounds.
míng míng zhōng de gǎn yìng gào sù tā ， zhè shì shēn cáng zài tā xuè mài shēn chù de lì liàng 。
冥冥中的感应告诉它，这是深藏在它血脉深处的力量。
The dragon whale was excited despite being injured—it was worth it.
zhǐ yào bù duàn de tūn shì ， zì jǐ yě néng biàn dé xiàng zǔ xiān yī yàng qiáng dà ！
只要不断的吞噬，自己也能变得像祖先一样强大！
Once I fully absorb this sea snake's energy...
méi cuò ！ wú qíng de tūn shì ！ shuí yě bù néng zǔ zhǐ zì jǐ ！
没错！无情的吞噬！谁也不能阻止自己！
Before it could dwell on that, another dangerous aura approached quickly.
yī gǔ wēi xiǎn de qì xī ， bǎ yì shòu lóng jīng cóng jì yì zhōng lā huí dào xiàn zài 。
一股危险的气息，把异兽龙鲸从记忆中拉回到现在。
Wasn't that giant octopus?
tā tū rán fā jué ， yī tóu jù dà de hǎi shé dǔ zài le zì jǐ qián jìn de lù shàng 。
它突然发觉，一头巨大的海蛇堵在了自己前进的路上。
Why are all these encounters happening today?
jì yì zhōng ， zhè tóu hǎi shé yǐ jīng huó le hǎo jiǔ 。
记忆中，这头海蛇已经活了好久。
I'll devour them all.
zì jǐ gāng chū shēng shí ， tā jiù yǐ jīng shì zhè piàn hǎi yù de bà zhǔ le 。
自己刚出生时，它就已经是这片海域的霸主了。
With a roar, the dragon whale fought the giant octopus.
cóng qián ， wèi le ān quán ， zì jǐ yě dōu shì rào zhe tā zǒu 。
从前，为了安全，自己也都是绕着它走。
After much time, the octopus's massive body was torn to pieces.
bù guò ， xiàn zài ma ， shí dài biàn le ……
不过，现在嘛，时代变了……
But the dragon whale was also badly injured.
yì shòu lóng jīng yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī tān lán ， cháo zhe hǎi shé pū le guò qù 。
异兽龙鲸眼中闪过一丝贪婪，朝着海蛇扑了过去。
There was no time for absorption now; it sensed several more dangerous auras approaching from nearby.
yī zhèn sī shā zhī hòu ， xiān xuè rǎn hóng le hǎi dǐ 。
一阵厮杀之后，鲜血染红了海底。
Today is really unlucky!
yì shòu lóng jīng jiāng hǎi shé zuì bǎo guì de bù fèn tūn jìn dǔ zi lǐ 。
异兽龙鲸将海蛇最宝贵的部分吞进肚子里。
It sped up, trying to escape these annoying creatures.
wēn hé de néng liàng cóng wèi zhōng bù duàn yǒng chū ， xiū fù zhe tā de shāng shì 。
温和的能量从胃中不断涌出，修复着它的伤势。
But...
lóng jīng yǒu xiē xīng fèn 。
龙鲸有些兴奋。
Never-ending.
suī rán shòu le diǎn shāng ， dàn jué duì de shì zhí de de 。
虽然受了点伤，但绝对的是值得的。
No matter where it went, enemies would attack.
zhǐ yào děng zì jǐ wán quán xī shōu le hǎi shé de néng liàng ……
只要等自己完全吸收了海蛇的能量……
Even those clearly outmatched still came charging, seemingly desperate to die.
hái méi děng tā zhǎn kāi xiá xiǎng ， bù yuǎn chù yòu yī gǔ wēi xiǎn de qì xī kuài sù cháo zhè biān jiē jìn 。
还没等它展开遐想，不远处又一股危险的气息快速朝这边接近。
Initially, the dragon whale thought of giving them a lesson. But soon, all it could do was flee in panic.
shì nà tóu jù xíng zhāng yú ？
是那头巨型章鱼？
There were too many of them; it hadn't rested for long and was growing increasingly exhausted.
zěn me jīn tiān dōu gǎn zài yì qǐ le ？
怎么今天都赶在一起了？
The dragon whale felt something amiss but couldn't pinpoint what.
nà jiù dōu bǎ nǐ men tūn le ba 。
那就都把你们吞了吧。
The relentless pursuit by other sea creatures seemed endless.
lóng jīng fā chū yī shēng páo xiāo ， hé jù xíng zhāng yú zhàn chéng yī tuán 。
龙鲸发出一声咆哮，和巨型章鱼战成一团。
Its consciousness began to blur until its last moments, when a blue-light phantom appeared before it.
xǔ jiǔ zhī hòu ， zhāng yú jù dà de shēn qū bèi sī chéng le suì piàn 。
许久之后，章鱼巨大的身躯被撕成了碎片。
Then, its consciousness froze completely.
dàn yì shòu lóng jīng yě shì mǎn shēn de shāng hén 。
但异兽龙鲸也是满身的伤痕。
...
lái bù jí tūn shì xī shōu zhāng yú le ， lóng jīng gǎn dào bù yuǎn chù ， yòu shì sān sì gǔ ràng tā gǎn dào wēi xiǎn de qì xī jí jiāng gǎn guò lái 。
来不及吞噬吸收章鱼了，龙鲸感到不远处，又是三四股让他感到危险的气息即将赶过来。
Having delivered the final blow with Blue Flame Illusory Spirit, Li Fan finally sighed in relief.
jīn tiān zhēn shì dǎo méi ！
今天真是倒霉！
The formless killing intent dispersed as the surrounding sea creatures, initially staring blankly, stopped approaching.
tā jiā kuài le sù dù ， xiǎng yào yuǎn lí zhè xiē tǎo yàn de jiā huo 。
它加快了速度，想要远离这些讨厌的家伙。
The time spent hunting the dragon whale exceeded his expectations.
dàn shì ……
但是……
This beast was too formidable.
méi wán méi liǎo 。
没完没了。
Recalling the several battles he witnessed among deep-sea monsters, Li Fan still felt a chill down his spine.
wú lùn tā zǒu dào nǎ lǐ ， dū huì yù dào duì tā fā dòng gōng jī de dí rén 。
无论它走到哪里，都会遇到对它发动攻击的敌人。
Fortunately, no matter how strong it is, endless consumption eventually takes its toll.
nǎ pà nà xiē míng xiǎn bú shì tā duì shǒu de jiā huo ， yě gēn fā le fēng yì bān ， guò lái sòng sǐ 。
哪怕那些明显不是它对手的家伙，也跟发了疯一般，过来送死。
It took over twenty days to exhaust this dragon whale's life force.
zuì kāi shǐ tā hái xiǎng zhe gěi zhè xiē jiā huo yí gè jiào xùn ， dàn shì hěn kuài ， tā jiù zhǐ néng cāng huáng táo mìng le 。
最开始它还想着给这些家伙一个教训，但是很快，它就只能仓皇逃命了。
Its resilience was evident.
yīn wèi zhè xiē jiā huo tài duō le ， tā yě hǎo jiǔ méi yǒu xiū xī ， yuè lái yuè pí bèi le 。
因为这些家伙太多了，它也好久没有休息，越来越疲惫了。
"Only I could do this; ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators really wouldn't know what to do."
lóng jīng gǎn dào yǒu shén me dì fāng bú duì jìn 。
龙鲸感到有什么地方不对劲。
"The formless killing intent truly lives up to my understanding from the essence of the world's killing energy—it is indeed formidable."
dàn shì tā yòu bù zhī dào wèn tí chū zài nǎ lǐ 。
但是它又不知道问题出在哪里。
Without spilling a drop of blood, Li Fan had successfully hunted the dragon whale and earned 2000 points of contribution. He felt elated.
hǎi dǐ qí tā shēng wù de zhuī shā sì hū yǒng yuǎn bú huì tíng zhǐ 。
海底其他生物的追杀似乎永远不会停止。
"Too big for the storage ring; I'll have to cut off parts with distinct features and value..."
lóng jīng de yì shí kāi shǐ mó hú 。
龙鲸的意识开始模糊。
Li Fan examined the dragon whale's corpse, contemplating his next move.
zhí dào sǐ wáng qián de nà yī kè ， tā yī xī kàn dào ， yí gè fā zhe lán guāng de huàn yǐng ， chū xiàn zài zì jǐ miàn qián 。
直到死亡前的那一刻，它依稀看到，一个发着蓝光的幻影，出现在自己面前。
After a thorough dissection, he prepared to leave when an idea struck him.
rán hòu ， tā de yì shí chè dǐ xiàn rù le bīng fēng 。
然后，它的意识彻底陷入了冰封。
"Hearing that these dragon whales often retain indigestible items in their stomachs over time. Over years, they form valuable materials for alchemy, worth many contribution points."
……
……
Following the principle of not missing out on opportunities, Li Fan began searching through the dragon whale's stomach.
fā dòng lán yán huàn líng gěi le zhè yì shòu lóng jīng zuì hòu yī jī ， lǐ fán zhōng yú zhǎng shū le yì kǒu qì 。
发动蓝炎幻灵给了这异兽龙鲸最后一击，李凡终于长舒了一口气。
"This dragon whale's stomach is really mixed up—everything you can think of..."
wú xiāng shā jī de suǒ dìng sàn qù ， zhōu wéi yuán běn hǔ shì dān dān de hǎi dǐ shēng wù men ， máng rán le yī zhèn hòu biàn bù zài jiē jìn 。
无相杀机的锁定散去，周围原本虎视眈眈的海底生物们，茫然了一阵后便不再接近。
"Eh, this is...?"
liè shā lóng jīng de yòng shí zhī zhǎng ， chāo hū le lǐ fán de xiǎng xiàng 。
猎杀龙鲸的用时之长，超乎了李凡的想象。
Li Fan picked up a half-digested round object and felt a familiar sensation.
zhè tóu yì shòu ， yě tài qiáng hèng le yì diǎn 。
这头异兽，也太强横了一点。
Soon, he realized.
huí xiǎng qǐ yī lù wěi suí jiàn dào de jǐ chǎng hǎi dǐ xiōng shòu zhī jiān de dà zhàn ， lǐ fán xiàn zài hái shì àn zì xīn jīng 。
回想起一路尾随见到的几场海底凶兽之间的大战，李凡现在还是暗自心惊。
"Isn't this a piece ofglass bead (Luliuzhu)?"
The dragon whale, worth 2000 points of contribution value, just appeared before Li Fan without warning and even stole its mission reward.
How could Li Fan tolerate this?
A Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't harm the dragon whale, but Li Fan might be able to kill it!
Li Fan's eyes narrowed slightly as a formless killing intent locked onto the dragon whale tightly.
Whispers in his ears and the hallucinatory scenes before his eyes reappeared.
However, compared to last time when locking onto Wan Hafu, the side effects were much less severe this time.
Li Fan quickly recovered and watched the dragon whale's fading figure, following it closely.
