I! Cleaner!-Chapter 1221 - 1111: Different Encounters

At last, we damn found it...

Staring at the massive cold sea eye several miles away, the exhausted Scorpion Director felt a surge of spirit, then waved his hand to clear the surrounding icy seawater, urging hastily:

"Let's go! Quickly!"

"Got it."

After responding to him, the equally weary Cancer Director patted the demon sea serpent beneath them, then pointed towards the distant, slowly rotating, frozen sea eye.

Following Cancer Director's command, the two demon sea serpents let out a hiss, then immediately carried the two towards the sea eye at full speed.

But just as they were about to pass through the frozen sea eye, its diameter of several kilometers suddenly accelerated, completing a full rotation in an instant, spewing out tens of thousands of tons of terrifying ocean currents.

However, in the brief moment the two directors were carried away by the currents, the frozen sea eye that was so close suddenly "shrunk," retreating several miles in the blink of an eye, and continued to draw further away at a terrifying speed.

Where do you think you're going!

Watching the annoying sea eye that would spray water to block them and immediately flee whenever they got close, the Scorpio Director, who had been swimming in the Cold Spring Realm for three days and nights, frowned and took out an iron bean, stuffing it in his mouth. After chewing twice, he spat it towards the escaping sea eye.

"Creaking"

With a sound like that of a rusty door hinge, the escaping sea eye seemed to be "rusted" and slowed down, losing its previous agility.

It wasn't just the sea eye; following the Scorpio Director's mysterious mouthful of iron beans, the surrounding sea spanning several miles turned into a rusty iron-red, and all motion was "rusted" into place, stuck in their original positions. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Finally caught it...

Watching the sea eye rusted in place by the Scorpio Director's iron bean, the Cancer Director breathed a sigh of relief, then controlling the two demon sea serpents to pursue it while reminding cautiously:

"Remember to clean up properly later. If this polluted water enters the real world through the sea eye, the trouble won't be any less than the frozen sea bottom."

Yes, yes!

Hearing Cancer Director's reminder, Scorpio Director continued to spit iron beans, glaring at him in annoyance.

Do you think I don't know how dangerous this thing is? If it weren't difficult to clean up, this sea eye could have escaped from me a few times?

"Creak!"

As the two directors got closer, the massive sea eye, realizing it couldn't escape, began to spin desperately, seemingly trying to spew out a wave to carry the two away.

But the Scorpio Director's mouthful of iron beans had rusted the entire sea area solid. No matter how the sea eye spun or expanded, it couldn't spew out a drop of water.

"Quick!"

Taking a small handful of silver sand from his pocket, he scattered it around, slowing the spread of the "rust water," and urged impatiently:

"Hurry back! If we lose it again, who knows when we'll catch it again!"

"On it!"

Unlocking the seal on his navel, Cancer Director summoned a massive horned demon, allowing it to swallow himself and Scorpio Director. Then he patted the tusks in the huge demon's mouth. Covered in icy armor, the horned demon closed its mouth tight and charged straight towards the sea eye.

"Boom!"

A dull thud sounded as the massive demon crashed into the frozen sea eye. The ice layers on the other side of the real world's sea bottom shattered with a roar. After diving in with two directors in its mouth, the demon scratched its head, somewhat confused.

Why didn't it freeze?

Noticing that this True God level demon, even after contacting the sea bottom ice layer, wasn't affected and didn't freeze like them before, Cancer Director frowned, then commanded the horned demon to open its mouth and swallow some ice blocks.

It seemed like ordinary ice...

After feeling the swallowed ice blocks, discovering they didn't carry the previously bone-chilling cold, Cancer Director frowned in confusion.

Even though the ice proved not dangerous, having suffered once before, he remained cautious, guiding the horned demon to the surface until they left the range of the sea bottom ice layer, then ordered it to release them.

Finally back...

Freed from the Cold Spring Realm filled only with seawater and no fish, Scorpio Director sighed in relief, then pulled Cancer Director to rush into the Tidal Realm.

"Let's go! Teach them a lesson!"

Remembering how the two got frozen and dropped into the sea eye, frantically chasing the sea eye in the Cold Spring Realm for days, the temperamental Scorpio Director gnashed his teeth angrily.

"These Sea Races must have done it on purpose, just to laugh at us! You... huh?"

After two futile pulls, Scorpio Director turned back, slightly surprised, and asked:

"Why aren't you moving?"

"The matter of settling accounts can wait, take a look down first."

Pointing below at the ice layer, Cancer Director said thoughtfully:

"See if the sea bottom ice is thinner than when we broke through it earlier?"

"Seems a bit thinner..."

Following Cancer Director's direction and examining it, Scorpio Director hesitated, then nodded:

"Seems about a third thinner, and not as cold... Could the ice be retreating?"

"It should be."

Controlling the horned demon to go down, breaking open a section of sea bottom ice from a distance, confirming it didn't freeze even after breaching the ice layer, Cancer Director frowned:

"At this rate, the ice layer at the sea bottom will completely disappear in less than two weeks. It seems this time the frozen sea bottom issue has been resolved."

Really?

Hearing this, Scorpio Director's face lit up, then looked at the frowning Cancer Director beside him, puzzled:

"Why the long face if the issue is resolved? Isn't it a good thing?"

"..."

Resolving the issue naturally is good, but the problem wasn't we found the cause; it resolved itself inexplicably, making it hard to say if it's truly good.

"We'll deal with that later."

Having understood Cancer Director's concerns, Scorpio Director waved it off nonchalantly:

"You're not going to find anything just by staring here. Let's head to the Tidal Realm first and see if anything changed in the real world during our cold spring ordeal.

By the way, before we got frozen, didn't you sense Aquarius' presence? Maybe she showed up after we fell and conveniently resolved the frozen sea issue?"
