With a thought, Gu Xi slightly altered the rhythm of his mental energy output. In just an instant, the waterproof shield, which had been nearly perfectly spherical, began to fluctuate.
The entire edge of the sphere became extremely unstable, like a layer of constantly swaying three-dimensional water ripples.
"It seems that a continuous and stable output of mental energy is a prerequisite for ensuring that the waterproof shield does not break. This is really difficult to handle."
This at least proves that the Abyss Scale Bead is an item that requires a continuous and stable output of mental energy. Although the attention required to focus on it is not as much as that required for skills, it requires more stability.
Imagine if she were to enter deeper waters and couldn't maintain a stable input of mental energy, the waterproof shield would break, which would be even more troublesome.
Therefore, to avoid unnecessary trouble, it's better for her to stay in the shallow sea for now.
However, since the waterproof shield doesn't require much attention, it also means that Gu Xi can activate her mental defense shield at the same time. With the support of mental defense, her safety in the sea is greatly improved.
Thinking of this, Gu Xi immediately cast a mental defense spell on herself, enveloping herself and the waterproof shield, and then let the octopus attack her with its tentacles.
Upon receiving the order, the octopus tentacles slapped against the defensive shield, but she remained safely inside it.
After the defense test, Gu Xi began the movement and depth tests. Movement was relatively simple; she only needed to input rhythm through mental energy to change her trajectory.
For example, sinking simply requires increasing the input of mental energy. Similarly, ascending requires reducing the output of mental energy. When adjusting one's position, it is necessary to ensure a uniform output of mental energy while maintaining the rotational orientation of the mental energy wrapped around the Abyss Scale Bead.
After trying it out, Gu Xi realized that manipulating the Abyss Scale Pearl was nothing like the Book of Greed described, especially in terms of directional movement, which was incredibly difficult. A slight misalignment and you'd be lost without even knowing where you were being led.
Several times, she tried to control the direction and speed of the entanglement, but ended up crashing headfirst into the ice. Luckily, she had a mental shield; otherwise, she would have been in a serious accident, with a head injury and bleeding.
"Ugh," Gu Xi knelt inside the defensive shield, dry heaving after a series of manipulations. Tears welled in her eyes, and she felt somewhat frustrated.
The Abyss Scale Pearl is a valuable item. Although she has quite a few, she really can't sell them. This thing is just too difficult to control. She's certain that anyone who can skillfully wield it is a top-tier expert.
Gu Xi suppressed the urge to vomit and lifted her head to exhale. But as soon as she exhaled, inhaling became increasingly difficult.
Gu Xi felt the air grow heavy, as if an invisible hand was squeezing her chest. Her head began to spin, and the world before her eyes began to sway between blur and clarity.
Oh no!
She didn't have the strength to keep the waterproof cover above the water. She could only quickly have the octopus pull her out. She never expected that staying in the waterproof cover for too long would lead to oxygen deprivation.
In such a strange world, do we still need to breathe oxygen?
The moment the octopus scooped Gu Xi up, Gu Xi gasped for air.
As the fresh air entered her body, she felt that the world was so beautiful.
After she came to her senses, she began to check the time.
Based on the previous attempt, she stayed in the water for about half an hour. This is just the time for normal breathing; if she were fighting in the water, this time would definitely be much shorter.
