Chapter 168 The Mysterious Stone Chamber

Along the way, to satisfy Lili's curiosity, Shen Jue and Qing Feng told Lili a lot about what happened on the Black Sea.

The strange events that happened in the sea greatly reduced Lili's curiosity.

It seems the ocean floor is too dangerous, so she decided not to go. Most importantly, she can't actually reach the ocean floor.

Staying on the raft is quite nice.

Shen Jue and Qing Feng exchanged a silent glance, and it was settled.

As expected, the intimidation method is still very effective on Lili. If I had known this earlier, why did I go to so much trouble to make Lili understand this principle?

Now, the raft is sailing towards the Black Sea.

As soon as they reached the sea boundary, Lili sensed a strange field in the nearby sea.

Lili told Shenjue everything she had sensed.

Shen Jue roughly understood what Li Li meant by the field.

Unexpectedly, Lili was able to sense the field that even Qingfeng couldn't.

As expected of a mythical beast, it possesses unique abilities.

Shen Jue: "Lili, besides this field, what else did you sense?"

Lili: "I also sensed something... um, I can't quite put my finger on it, but it was really strange, like some kind of seal separating the Black Sea from the regular sea. And, it felt like something was suppressing things down there, which gave me a bad feeling!"

Shen Jue: "Okay, I understand, thank you Lili! Qingfeng and I are heading to the seabed. Please be careful on the raft during this time."

Although the raft has an absolute defense mechanism and cannot be destroyed, it is hard to guarantee that Lili's strong curiosity will prevent her from leaving the raft to explore the surrounding situation.

After Chen Jue's terrifying portrayal of the Black Sea a while ago, Li Li has successfully lost interest in it. She no longer finds it interesting; she's too busy avoiding it to even bother checking it out.

Therefore, Lili nodded to indicate that she understood and promised not to leave the raft even for a moment.

After explaining some precautions to Lili, Shen Jue prepared a month's worth of food for her. She didn't know when Lili would be able to come up from the seabed.

After doing all this, Shen Jue increased the speed of the raft's movement.

This time, the raft entered the Black Sea without encountering any barriers or the Black Sea boss that blocked its way last time.

If the Black Sea's big boss were to appear, it would likely require some reason, such as them doing something after entering the Black Sea and then wanting to leave, before he would come out to stop them.

Preventing any creature from entering or leaving the Black Sea should be the boss's responsibility.

Therefore, as long as they don't run away, they are safe during this phase and don't need to worry about being watched by the Black Sea boss.

We drove all the way to the designated location at the trench coordinates.

Shen Jue changed into her diving suit and boldly engaged Qing Feng in battle, further enhanced by Qing Feng's upgraded defensive bubbles.

The safety of diving has improved significantly.

The last time I explored the Black Sea with Brother Ke and the others, Shen Jue marked the coordinates of almost every location we reached.

This is a habit she has developed.

The deep trench at the bottom of the sea is where the young sea monsters were purified.

Beneath those caves, even deeper caves remain unexplored.

After descending for about four hours, Shen Jue finally arrived above the trench where he had previously cleared the sea monster.

Having been here before, Shen Jue knew the place well this time as well.

On the way down, in the caves we passed, the purified sea monster juveniles remained in their previous sleeping state, but they would never wake up again, forever frozen in that moment before purification.
