The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 958 - 378: Hei Xuanwu_2

"Big Tadpole, I’m not afraid of water, hang out with me!"

GuaGua bubbled and gurgled, sending out a clear wave of mental energy within a radius of several tens of meters.

"Plop!"

"Plop!"

Ye Liuying and Mu Shoucong jumped down one after the other.

The former, dressed in fin-like treasures, moved agilely within the water like a fish.

The latter was somewhat comical, with rampant roots trailing like strings of seaweed, paired with a seductive swimming stance beneath his supple waist, slightly eye-watering.

"Whoosh..."

Lantern fish, treasure blade fish, dancing fish, swallowtail fish...hundreds of weak fish-shaped Fond Spirits sensed the intrusion of a foreign object and frantically fled.

Ye Hanjun immediately activated a "Stealth Talisman".

Then, he threw out a rope woven from the meridians of a spiritual dragon, linking Ye Liuying and Mu Shoucong together.

In an instant, their presence vanished, the panicked school of fish lost their target, and in a brief moment, everything returned to normal order.

"Big Tadpole, the underwater world is so lively!"

GuaGua didn’t hide within the stealth barrier; it was a Pure Beast, which doesn’t initiate attacks and naturally has a low presence.

For the moment, it took on the persona of a carefree, curious baby, observing the school of fish up close.

If it encountered a fish with an odd shape, it wouldn’t hesitate to use "Thousand Changes and Ten Thousand Transformations" to experience a completely different body structure.

"Wow, gold coral!"

"A Ghosthead Fish with only a head! It looks so dumb and funny!"

"Eh, what’s this creature’s corpse? Just a skeleton left, they ate it clean..."

GuaGua played more wildly, its innate nature activating, almost forgetting the purpose of this trip.

Ye Hanjun split off a wisp of his spirit to pay attention to its situation constantly, without imposing too many constraints.

The ocean is vast and full of dangers.

But this is the border of the West Sea, and it’s a shallow sea area.

As far as the eye can see, for the time being, Rainbow Light Fetus and Jade Infant Fetus are the majority; excessive tension only has negative effects.

"Follow me, don’t deviate from the path."

Ye Liuying swam past Ye Hanjun, taking on the role of the leader.

Reluctantly, GuaGua kissed a newly born little turtle goodbye, waving its little hand in farewell.

Then it activated "Super Light Speed" and kept pace with Ye Hanjun; it continued to look at the diverse and colorful underwater world with curious eyes.

Thus, ten days passed in a flash.

Rainbow Light Fetus and Jade Infant Fetus gradually became harder to find.

The Wheel of Life Embryo and Extinction Degree Fetus began to form the base of the food chain.

Heaven and Earth Embryo started to become more common; occasionally, Ye Hanjun would also find traces of an Unlimited Foetus.

It was not until then that the group not only didn’t slow down but also began to use some special items to help increase their pace.

"Gurgle gurgle..."

GuaGua saw a jellyfish.

It was a Soul Lamp Jellyfish, its translucent semi-transparent body floating around like a large umbrella.

It had no extra patterns, but against the backdrop of azure blue sea water, a deep black Soul Lamp inside continuously emitted bizarre rays of light.

A Tyrant Fang Fish of Great Completion Rank ferociously bit into its prey.

Because it was illuminated by the bizarre light, it suddenly lost consciousness, swimming dizzily toward the Soul Lamp Jellyfish.

By the time it was pierced and bound by the Soul Lamp Jellyfish, it was aware too late, struggling fiercely but no longer having any chance to break free.

"Whoosh!"

A hidden weapon in the shape of a sharp sword suddenly shot out from within a fish corpse.

GuaGua reacted very quickly, swiftly moving a meter to the right, allowing it to pass by normally.

Then, it widened its eyes, looking closely, and eventually came to a realization.

That wasn’t a hidden weapon, but actually a small jellyfish with a long spear growing on its head.

It was fast, but it seemed it could only move in a straight line, its body not flexible enough.

That strike was not aimed at GuaGua, but rather targeting another floating "Meat Jellyfish," killing in one hit to find its meal for the day.

"Dragon Spear Jellyfish?"

Ye Hanjun was surprised, his gaze lingering for a while.

This jellyfish had the rank of Immeasurable Void Pull; for him at the moment, it posed no threat.

But its lineage was quite noble, holding a portion of Dragon Blood; usually roaming the bottom of the sea, it must be at the top of the food chain.

"Whoosh—"

Mu Shoucong suddenly stretched out a root, catching another large jellyfish that was sound asleep.

This was a "Heart Poison Jellyfish," which looked similar to a human heart in appearance.

It didn’t emit a dangerous killing aura, harmless to humans and animals, drifting with the currents.

Even when caught by Mu Shoucong, upon waking up, it showed no intention of struggling.

"Lucky catch, Liuying, this one’s for you. Your witch maiden needs to regularly collect lethal toxins to grow her lineage."

"This Unlimited Foetus Heart Poison Jellyfish often threats those of higher ranks up to Shining World Fetus; by absorbing its toxin, when you ascend to the 8th Rank, your witch maiden is sure to soar."

"Thank you, Lord Cong."

Liuying didn’t hesitate, taking it to refine during downtime.

Then, she took out a glowing scroll, comparing its directions with a rather uncertain tone, she speculated,

"Jellyfish Island should be right above us..."

"According to the reports of eyewitnesses, right beneath this island, there is a concealed metal structure..."

"Its purpose is uncertain, but there’s a good chance it’s a prison, because besides Chimera cubs, it seems to detain other creatures as well. They are the kind with large bodies and vigorous vitality; on rare occasions, their roars escape, disturbing all creatures within the waters..."

Ye Hanjun was silent, beginning to dive deeper.

Sure enough, after swimming for three days and three nights, a bizarre metal structure came into view.
