Chapter 266 Coral
Since the trip was quite fruitful, I plan to change my route and head back. On the way back, I'll gather grass, hunt rabbits, and collect some crystal cores or rare treasures from the sea.
After leaving the hunting grounds by boat, we stopped. Although it was late, we stopped two or three hours earlier than usual.
Lou Xiaoyu was wearing pants that resembled white training pants, her upper body was bare, and her hair was already dry.
"Why don't you go wash up and change your clothes? What are you still doing here?" Gu Qing rubbed his hair with her hand.
Lou Xiaoyu took her hand and kissed it lightly. "Tomorrow is early, so I plan to take a few people out to sea to look for anything."
The bamboo slips just finished scouting this area; there shouldn't be any major danger. Would you like to come down with me?
"Me, go down?" Gu Qing pointed to herself.
Lou Xiaoyu nodded, "Yes, we'll be inside the bubbles. The mermaid and I will protect you so you can see the scenery in the sea."
Gu Qing was somewhat tempted. Wasn't this just like being at an aquarium? However, she was always worried about the fragility of the bubbles.
Seeing her hesitant look, Lou Xiaoyu couldn't resist wrapping her arms around her neck and kissing her.
"Don't be afraid, let Lou Bai cast a protective spell on you. Although his spell lasts for a limited time, we won't be staying inside for too long."
Gu Qing had no reason to hesitate. She nodded her head like a lucky cat, and then the others who were about to go down gathered around her.
Lou Xiaoyu's Mermaid Hero appeared behind her, floating around. She first put a large bubble on Gu Qing, then looked at Lou Bai next to her, who immediately put another layer of absolute defense on her.
Then Bubble was held in the arms of the enormous mermaid, and the group jumped into the sea with their respective spirit forms, thinking they would be swimming downstream!
Who knew that the mermaid would actually sit sideways on the spirit form of a shark, holding her in her arms, and then the group of people would sink together.
Occasionally, when a sea beast swims by, it is dealt with by everyone. The crystal core is taken and the corpse is stored in the space to avoid attracting other sea beasts.
She noticed that there were also water-based spirits diving into the sea in the distance, probably partly to play and partly to make some extra money.
The seabed was pitch black, with occasional bioluminescent creatures swimming by. However, as an elder materialized a glowing sphere that floated in front of them, the fantastical world around them became clearer.
Seeing the twinkling lights ahead, Gu Qing patted the bubbles and pointed in that direction. The mermaid glanced at him, then looked at Lou Xiaoyu, and the two exchanged a few hand gestures.
They swam together in that direction, and as they went deeper and deeper, fear welled up in Gu Qing's heart again. The mermaid seemed to sense this and tightened her grip on Bubbles.
The mermaid gently rubbed her nose against the bubbles to comfort Gu Qing, who sensed this and returned the smile before looking at the ever-growing light.
After swimming a little further down, Gu Qing spotted several baby sea turtles and small marine mammals. She felt a sense of familiarity with the marine mammals that weren't so severely mutated.
She lay on the bubble, staring intently. Lou Xiaoyu had mainly brought her down to play, so she also intentionally followed the little sea creatures so she could see them to her heart's content.
So as they swam, they lost track of where they were, and then a few shimmering lights appeared from the instructor's direction.
There were several fish with fluorescent tails. Before Gu Qing could even exclaim in surprise, she noticed that several people seemed quite excited, swimming towards the seabed with the small fish.
Now I was even more disoriented and lost. As Gu Qing sat in the bubble, feeling bored, more and more fluorescent fish darted around in something.
As they approached, they realized it was coral. Lou Xiaoyu had given Gu Qing a clump of coral, which could perfectly regulate the humidity in the room. The water vapor it released carried a faint energy.
Every time Gu Qing entered the room, she could feel the fresh and natural atmosphere.
This coral reef is very large, and there are small fish with luminous markings, while some are as long as two or three meters.
Yet they could move freely among the corals. Following Lou Xiaoyu's gestures, a group of people spread out slightly and surrounded them.
As soon as they got close, they were attacked by a barrage of water arrows.
Lou Xiaoyu directly used the water-condensed stone to form a shield, blocking all the incoming water arrows. The sound of the two sides colliding showed just how fierce the attack was.
Lou Xiaoyu was even thrown backward a distance by the impact. "It's actually a high-level one. Lou Bai and the Third Elder are protecting Qingqing, while the others and I are forming a water prison to attack."
