Chapter 68 Diving into the Deep Sea

As soon as Chen Qing opened the lid of the glass jar, the Blood Spirit immediately disappeared from the glass bottle.

In the blink of an eye, it appeared on the floating corpse at sea.

The floating corpse began to shrivel at a visible speed, and soon its skin was gradually devoured by the blood spirit. The bones fell into the water as the flesh and skin disappeared.

Looking at the way the Blood Spirit ate, Chen Qing suddenly thought of the group of sea beasts that had been killed by the Flying Bird Adventure Team.

Those sea beasts were probably also eaten by the Blood Spirit.

It only eats flesh and blood, so its bones must still be at the bottom of the sea, right?

Chen Qing has a potion formula that is a body enhancement potion, specifically designed to enhance physical attributes.

It has a similar enhancement effect to the previous Green Forest Potion from the pharmacist, but at a lower cost.

After devouring the floating corpse, the blood spirit immediately tried to dive into the water to eat the fish and crabs below. Chen Qing reacted quickly, using a barbed harpoon he had prepared beforehand to stab it up and put it back into a larger glass bottle.

The blood spirit, having regained some of its vitality, angrily pounded against the bottle, but the next second it was struck by Chen Qing's merciless mental attack and immediately fell silent.

After dealing with the Blood Spirit, Chen Qing sent the Super Vine to set sail for the previous gathering point of sea beasts.

She then put on the newly made environmental adaptation gear and prepared to go into the sea.

The situation at sea today appears to be affected by the impending Gemstone hurricane; the surrounding environment is pitch black, with not a glimmer of light.

The light of the crescent moon in the night sky seemed to be absorbed by the darkness, and the sea was desolate and terrifyingly lonely.

The light emanating from Chen Qing's ship could only illuminate her vessel; the area outside was completely dark, and nothing could be seen at all.

Items thrown carelessly disappear instantly once they leave the area of ​​the ship's railings.

Moreover, the seawater was exceptionally turbulent, and apart from the sound of the wind and waves, nothing else could be heard.

The dark sea surface seemed ready to spew forth terrifying creatures at any moment. Chen Qing stood on the highest platform of the ship, gazing into the distance, but could see nothing.

However, such weather and environment are perfect for testing environmental adaptation devices.

Those gem hunters work day and night to salvage gems, since no one can be sure how many times a gem hurricane will come or how many gems it will bring.

They could only do their best to retrieve as many gems as possible.

Following the predetermined route, with favorable winds and currents, the super-powered vines quickly steered the boat to its destination.

Chen Qing had just finished checking the seeds; some had already started to sprout, and their species could be identified.

After furling the sails, stopping the boat, and shutting down the engine, Chen Qing explained some things about the super-powered vines and then quickly jumped into the water with some tools.

She wasn't worried about the situation on the ship; the worst-case scenario was that the Blood Spirit would be released.

Under the darkness of night, even the azure seawater of the day turned inky black. Fortunately, the device Chen Qing was wearing gave her some visibility underwater.

However, the flashlight that was originally prepared was useless.

Once turned on, its light is swallowed up by the seawater, and the area it can illuminate is probably less than five centimeters.

Chen Qing tried out the environmental adaptation device, which fit perfectly. At his current depth of 100 meters, Chen Qing felt no resistance and was able to breathe normally.

She tried to move, and the feeling of swimming was incredibly smooth and fluid; her legs seemed to have turned into a fish tail.

The deepest part of the Gem Sea can reach more than 8,000 meters, but it is not as dangerous as the Misty Sea, the Elemental Sea, and the Treasure Sea.

The blue-quality device in Chen Qing's hand is expected to be able to dive to a depth of about 3,000 to 5,000 meters.

However, there are no more precise figures. The deepest point in this area is 2,848 meters, which, in Chen Qing's world, can be called the deep sea.

However, it doesn't quite qualify here.

Sending a location signal to the super-powered vines on the ship, Chen Qing quickly swam deeper into the water.

The deeper he went, the lower the visibility became, but it remained within a certain range, ensuring that Chen Qing could see nothing at all.

As Chen Qing descended, scattered sea creatures began to appear around her, and she even saw fragments of a sunken ship.

Upon reaching a depth of 1000 meters, some G-class supernatural sea creatures began to appear.

However, they had no intention of attacking Chen Qing and left quickly.

This area is near Sapphire Island, and they regularly hunt down extraordinary sea creatures here to ensure the safety of the island's civilians.

Therefore, there are actually very few marine animals here; most of them are just ordinary sea fish, shrimp, crabs, and the like.

These creatures were completely different in size and appearance from those Chen Qing had seen before; they looked extremely ferocious.

They avoided Chen Qing even more than sea monsters, and Chen Qing had no intention of capturing them.

Her main purpose in going into the water was to collect marine mammal bones and simple testing equipment.

Every 100 meters of descent, Chen Qing would send a location signal to the super-powered vines to ensure safety.

That is, to guarantee her safety, and also to guarantee the safety of those on the ship.

As Chen Qing descended deeper, he began to discover scattered marine animal bones on the underwater rocks.

Ignoring the animal bones, Chen Qing increased her speed. She had already descended to a depth of about 2,200 meters in less than an hour.

Soon, an hour after entering the water, Chen Qing finally reached the deepest part of this sea area.

Many sea animal bones are buried in the soft sand, from which one can glimpse the size of the sea animals when they were alive.

The bone that Chen Qing picked up casually was more than twice the length of her.

The marine mammal bones were scattered.

Chen Qing immediately became alert upon seeing the distribution of these bones.

There must be other living sea creatures here!

Sure enough, a pair of huge eyeballs emerged from the sand the next second!

As it appeared, countless eyes emerged from the flat sand!

Chen Qing is surrounded!

A rustling sound came from the sand, and Chen Qing did not make any rash moves.

However, the sea monsters on the opposite side could not hold back and were the first to emerge from the sand, waving a pair of sharp pincers to attack Chen Qing.

It was almost as big as Chen Qing.

Using her identification skills on the sea creature, Chen Qing quickly learned some basic information about the sea creature surrounding her.

【Sapphire Giant Crab (G+) (Juvenile): A type of Treasure Crab with immense strength in its claws, a thick shell, and extremely high speed in sandy areas.

However, its eyesight was poor, and it fed on gemstones, with a particular fondness for sapphires. After death, its eyes would transform into sapphires of varying qualities.

High attack, high defense, and high speed under certain conditions—Chen Qing quickly made a judgment about the giant armored crab.

The Treasure Fish appeared so early?

Therefore, this area is the territory of the giant crab.

Does this mean that Sapphire Island will inevitably be a path for the Gemstorm?
