Although Niu Niu Cao is an SSS-level creature, it is much easier to talk to than the SSS-level creatures of the Deep Sea Clan. It didn't say anything more, just nodded.

Then its vines unfurled, and as the Niu Niu Cao released its spiritual energy, all the plants on the observation deck stretched out. After a while, it withdrew its spiritual energy.

"Pfft! How's the investigation going?" Flame Scale asked impatiently.

Gu Xi looked at Niu Niu Cao thoughtfully, "Your detection range seems to be even farther than Ai Si's?"

“Yes.” Niu Niu Cao didn’t hide this fact.

Its tone carried a hint of smugness, "Because I can control the plants in the water, wherever there are plants, I can use their power to enhance my exploration."

"Pfft!" Upon hearing this, Flame Scale puffed out its cheeks indignantly. "Tch, so what if you can control a few seaweeds? I'll just burn them all."

Ais glanced at Flamescale. "That's a useful ability. So, did you find the Tal Ruins?"

The vines of the cowgrass trembled slightly, seemingly surprised by Ais's approval. But it quickly composed itself and began to recount the findings of its investigation.

“I’ve found some ruins over here,” the vines of the cow grass swayed gently, pointing to a southwest direction.

Upon seeing this, Gu Xi used his mental energy to investigate and discovered that this direction led towards the abyss layer.

“The seaweed there told me that there is a huge building in the deep sea,” Niu Niu Cao continued.

"In the abyss? That makes sense." Gu Xi then directed the octopus to prepare to set sail.

"Wait!" Suddenly, Niu Niu Grass stretched out its vines, blocking the way for the fish. It hesitated for a moment and glanced at Ai Si. "I sensed the presence of Ice Shield Fish at that ruin."

Upon hearing this, Ai Si's eyes suddenly narrowed.

“It should be the spiritual energy of Tar, which was imprisoned by the deep-sea tribe using materials from the Ice Shield Fish.” Niu Niu Cao’s voice grew lower and lower. “Moreover, the stronger the aura of the Ice Shield Fish, the more dangerous the place may be.”

Ai Si nodded thoughtfully, a complex look flashing in her eyes.

"Pfft!" Flame Scale suddenly shouted, "I knew you knew everything! Stop pretending to be confused!"

"I...I really don't know!" The vines of the cow grass swayed frantically, and the grass above straightened out. "I just...I just happened to feel these things!"

Flame Scale was so angry that it spun around in circles, shouting loudly as it did so.

"Pfft! You're lying! You definitely know a lot more!"

"I really don't know!" Niu Niu Cao curled up its vines, looking completely clueless. "I'm just a useless little grass, I don't know anything!"

Ais watched this scene coldly, her vigilance deepening.

“Now that we know the location, let’s set off.” Gu Xi glanced at the subtle atmosphere between Niu Niu Cao and Ai Si, and said decisively, “Octopus, prepare to set sail.”

"Whoosh! Wait, that place is dangerous!" Flame Scale jumped up and shouted.

Ais gave him a cold glance. "What are you afraid of? It's not like you haven't been there before."

"I'm not afraid, I'm worried about you guys!" Yan Lin's face turned red.

Gu Xi gently shook her head, "With Ai Si's ice shield, there won't be any problems."

She looked at Ais, "What do you think?"

"Pfft~" Ais nodded, her gaze still lingering thoughtfully on Niu Niu Cao. "Isn't there an SSS-rank one too?"

The vines of the cowgrass trembled slightly, as if sensing Ais's gaze. It shrank back, pretending to observe the distant sea.

Octopus began to steer the Future, and the ship slowly turned southwest.

With the sea breeze blowing and the sails billowing, the Future sailed towards the abyss.

"Hopefully, this time we can find more clues about Tal's spiritual power," Gu Xi said softly, gazing at the deep sea in the distance.

Ais didn't respond, but stood silently by the ship's railing, her cold gaze never leaving Niu Niu Cao. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
