Ocean Master

Blink!

After spending a few hours sleeping with his spinal cord doing inexplicable things with his body, Sebastian finally woke up.

He woke up to see Tosh and Shanks tearing apart a Fire Shrimp a few meters away from his position. The 2 sharks rushed the prey, using their fearsome rows of teeth to dissect the prey into parts and feeding on it.

The 2 sharks ate with such gusto like they've been starving for years. Sebastian knew that they were sharks, not exactly humans with manners and all that but still, seeing this sight felt weird to him.

Suddenly, he felt something sweep through him like a pair of eyes were watching his soul. He knew that this was the electroreceptor skill being used on him by either Shanks or Tosh, he only detected it because he also had the skill.

"Seba bro, you're awake? Finally! I've been wondering why you said we should leave the fire shrimps for you, now I know. These fellows are so freaking delicious…"

"What?" Sebastian's tail fin flapped at the water, propelling him up as his originally still groggy eyes immediately became clear.

"Huh?" Tosh turned to look at him.

"Did you just say Fire Shrimps?" 

"Uh-huh".

"I F*CKING TOLD YOU TO LEAVE THEM FOR ME!"

Crunch!

The 2 sharks bit one last time, swallowing the Fire Shrimp completely in the process before they looked at their team leader silently like a group of school kids who just got reprimanded by their teacher.

Seeing their expressions, Sebastian was dumbfounded. "Ugh, forget it".

[You have activated skill: Advanced Electroreceptors.]

This was the first skill that he activated. Before falling asleep after escaping, he already observed enough to know that he escaped to a region that was entirely different from where the shark clan cave was located.

After opening his eyes, the first thing that Sebastian noticed was that it was already night. The green glow of the Green Mist Sea already subsided a lot, making this region feel dark and gloomy.

As an experienced shark, Sebastian knew that the first thing to do after coming to a new region like this was to observe thoroughly for predators and to know the surroundings as it could come in handy especially on a night like this.

This region was close to the cliff walls, which meant that they weren't too dangerously far into the middle of the water.

After the encounters yesterday, he guessed that going deeper to the center of the boundless water world trapped inside the circular cliff, he would encounter more deadly predators as the purple tier predators were more active there.

The cliff walls in this region were not as smooth as in other parts where Sebastian already saw. There were more uneven depressions, and the rock forming the wall jutted out to form big platforms everywhere.

In one of these big platforms was a big hole and this was where Shanks and Tosh were feeding on before he woke up. Apparently, a Fire Shrimp family settled here and now, they were suffering the hunger wrath of the 2 sharks.

Seeing the big hole, Sebastian felt relieved as it presented him with convenient access to finish his daily system target.

After going for a few hours without food, he was already feeling hungry so he wanted to go feast on the Fire Shrimps immediately but he could not help but notice something strange about the rock platforms jutting out of the wall.

For some strange reason, he could feel a sense of human touch on the platforms. Well, in this case, it was more to refer to it as a sense of Atlantian touch.

The rock platforms weren't finely chiseled to suggest that they were carved out by Atlantians, but Sebastian noticed some strange signs of things like screws and nuts having been driven into the rock platforms.

For some reason, he felt like this place may have once served as the operations base of an Atlantian crew. What he didn't know was how long the crew left this place.

Since reincarnating into this world, he didn't have a first-person impression of the so-called ruling Atlantis kingdom nor its citizens yet but Sebastian already saw enough to give them the fear that was due.

Examples like Octumpedam, the strange abomination hounds, and the experimentation ground which he shelved aside for now till he evolved to the purple tier told enough about the power of Atlantians.

Despite his wariness for this new region rising up a notch because of his observations, he was not about to leave his Fire Shrimps like that.

Food was life, most especially to a Megalodon like him, he would eat first before thinking and making any other decision.

For now, it was feeding time.

[You have activated skill: Advanced Dash.]

[You have activated skill: Crushing Bite.]

As soon as Sebastian dashed close enough, his teeth chomped down.

Crunch!

Of course, the Fire Shrimp tried to retaliate but a pair of spikes suddenly grew out of Sebastian's body while he activated his shredding bite skill. His teeth ground hard at the Shrimp as he impaled it with his spikes.

A few shakes of his body later, the shrimp went limp.

[You have killed a mutated Fire Shrimp- Level 11: You have gained Experience.]

[You have gained 4 Skill points and 5 Adaptation points.]

[System Daily Target: 6/15 Fire Shrimps killed.]

Without hesitation, after killing the Shrimp and gobbling its food up, Sebastian left to kill the next. As he killed, he noticed Tosh and Shanks looking at the hole filled with Shrimps with longing.

This was when he remembered his order, he felt like facepalming. Before, he would have continued restricting them from eating but now, the fire Shrimps here could go round without them getting exhausted.

"Join the feast". He called out to them.

"Really?" Tosh asked suspiciously but Shanks already dove in.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

With the 3 sharks entering the hole together, the Shrimps finally seemed to realize the danger that they were in. They tried to scatter and escape but the sharks were too hungry to let that happen, they hunted them all down.

A few minutes later, only the 3 sharks were left in the hole.

"What a satisfying prey".. Tosh sighed contentedly.
