Chapter 107 Coral Beauty Silk, Mutant Larva
The three masters had already decided in the group who would arrive first and who would take the medicine last.
The second was Balsa. After quickly taking the invisibility potion, she was amazed to see the changes in her body; she had truly become invisible.
After the other two masters finished taking the medicine, they successfully became invisible and discovered that no matter how they moved, they would not attract the attention of the corals.
This is fantastic!
The corals, oblivious to the surging undercurrents, completely ignored the few men who had vanished and were now baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.
It is perfectly normal for there to be underwater currents.
They finally gained freedom of movement and were liberated.
Shen Jue's invisibility potion is quite special. After taking the potion, the object held by the person who successfully becomes invisible can also be hidden.
Consider it a small perk of the invisibility potion!
Kleedo: What do we do now? Should we go check out the colorful corals?
Yang: I think it's a good idea.
Shen Jue: Seconded.
Mu Xingran: Agreed.
Balsa: Then what are we waiting for? Let's go! Don't hesitate.
Mu Xingran: Everyone be careful and don't touch the corals while exploring.
The five people got ready and entered the colorful coral reef.
To their surprise, as soon as they came down from Black Coral Island, the island immediately left the area and disappeared from their sight in no time.
So the mission of Black Coral Island was just to send them here and then escape to the far reaches of the world, right?
What have they become?
Does Black Coral Island provide sustenance for the colorful coral reefs?
At this moment, the speechlessness of the group reached its peak.
No wonder those who went into the Black Sea before couldn't return.
With such a deadly island, even if you can breathe, if you stay here motionless for a period of time, you will either starve to death or be eaten by colorful corals.
Either way, you're going to die, and neither way of dying is pleasant.
The more beautiful something is, the more poisonous it is. This is a principle that must be firmly remembered in any world.
The group carefully made their way into the colorful coral reef.
Master Yang led the way because he was quite familiar with this kind of thing.
Shen Jue and a few other girls walked in the middle, with Klido bringing up the rear.
Fortunately, the coral reefs are growing relatively sparsely, not densely.
After they came in, they explored for a while, but found nothing except some large, closed clams.
Just as the group was wondering what was going on, the coral reefs around them suddenly changed dramatically.
The coral reefs that were originally spreading out are now closing in. They need to leave quickly, or they'll be surrounded by these coral reefs and waste Shen Jue's invisibility potion.
Leaving here is simple; just go upstream.
After Shen Jue and the others broke through the encirclement of the coral reefs, they stopped not far above the coral reefs.
Observe the changes in the coral reef.
These brightly colored coral reefs are slowly darkening.
It was as if something was drawing their life force from them.
As the vibrant coral reefs slowly withered and died, a large pit collapsed from the bottom of the reefs.
The collapsed pit buried these coral reefs.
The vast expanse of light instantly fell silent, and seabed dust billowed up, gradually spreading in their direction with the current.
Mu Xingran sensed something was wrong and immediately gestured to retreat.
The people who were rising rapidly also felt a strong suction force from below.
Moreover, Shen Jue discovered with dismay that they could no longer go upstream.
The area here is rather strange; they cannot move forward even an inch. They are trapped in the space above the coral reefs.
Currently, only the collapsed crater is available for inspection.
They didn't go down directly; if the pit turned out to be a trap, they would be at a great disadvantage.
In just a short while, the collapsed pit made a big commotion again.
The coral reefs that had been swallowed up are starting to reappear little by little.
Moreover, the colors are now brighter than before.
They were undoubtedly shocked to see this scene; it turned out that the sudden collapse of the large pit was actually the nest of these coral reefs.
Thank goodness I didn't go!
If I had gone in on my own, I might be food for the coral reef by now.
It's truly impossible to guard against everything. In this dangerous place, every action must be carefully considered before deciding whether to take it or not.
After these coral reefs grew back, the area returned to its previous state.
What's different this time is that, in addition to the newly renovated coral reefs, a group of strange creatures have also emerged.
These creatures cling to coral reefs, their bodies as small and filamentous as silk.
It may look harmless, but in reality, this thing can be deadly.
(A ribbon-like creature that grows in coral reefs. Once entangled, it can instantly absorb the life force of its captive, leaving only an empty shell. It is named "Beauty Silk" because of its beautiful appearance.)
The notice was given more attention this time. It was even bolded and highlighted in red, as if afraid that Chen Jue wouldn't see it.
After reading this warning, Shen Jue felt a chill in her heart. Now that she knew how dangerous the Beauty Silk was, she had to tell the masters who were traveling with her.
For no other reason than that they had to get out of there alive; she hadn't even mastered the skills yet.
These masters must not be allowed to have any mishaps.
"This is the beauty silk, a deadly substance, just like coral reefs; touching it is fatal. Masters, we cannot stay here any longer."
"What you said makes a lot of sense. Let's get out of this awful place as soon as possible." Balsa still felt uneasy about those blood-red ribbons. A chill ran down his spine.
They tried to go upstream, and this time, they were not stopped.
It was very easy to get up there.
However, what they didn't know was that shortly after they left, the silk that had been clinging to the coral quietly broke away and swam in the same direction they had disappeared.
With Qingfeng by her side, Shen Jue climbed up without much effort, while the other masters, after two hours of ascent, were already quite tired.
More than anything, it was physical. Before going into the sea, they had a hearty meal, but the constant physical activity inevitably left them somewhat fatigued.
However, this fatigue disappeared after they surfaced.
Because Shen Jue took out some dry rations, the group ate in the air using the same method.
The food scraps fell into the sea and were devoured by the beautiful silkworm that followed them.
The silk floated about 2 to 3 meters above the sea, staring at the people above.
It thought it was well hidden.
Little did they know, it had already been exposed to Shen Jue's sight.
Shen Jue looked down and saw a bright red notification.
(The Beauty Silk, it's following us. As long as you don't enter the water, it can't do anything to you. Once you leave the water, the Beauty Silk's strength will be greatly reduced. It's hiding and not showing itself; it's planning a sneak attack.)
However, now that she has discovered it, we can use this opportunity to turn the tables on her.
Shen Jue shared her findings and thoughts with several masters.
After observing the seemingly normal surface of the Black Sea, they wouldn't have believed it if Shen Jue hadn't said that the beautiful silk thread beneath the surface had caught up with them.
Since entering the Black Sea with Shen Jue, most of the dangers have been discovered by Shen Jue.
It's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't.
They were clearly invisible, yet the beauty silk still managed to catch up. They must have some special means to know their direction, but their exact location is currently unknown.
Once their exact location is determined, the long-dormant Beauty Silk will definitely not be able to resist launching an attack.
All they had to do was cooperate with Shen Jue, and once Shen Jue forced out the Beauty Silk, they would join forces to suppress it.
The task wasn't particularly difficult; it just required excellent teamwork. Since entering the sea, their coordination had been flawless. This time would be no different.
Shen Jue crushed a small piece of crispy fish into crumbs and tossed it into the sea. She knew that the newly born Beauty Silk would accept any food offered, and it would definitely appear as long as there was bait.
Shen Jue kept a close eye on the movements of the small crispy fish, waiting for the beauty silk to take the bait.
After waiting for a moment, a slight ripple appeared on the sea surface.
The small pieces of crispy fish were completely eaten up. Shen Jue's mental strength was still good, and he keenly noticed that a few thin red threads appeared in the white waves that were rising up. Those were the silk threads of a beauty.
She winked at the masters, signaling them to get ready.
Just then, the beauty seemed to have pinpointed Shen Jue's location and suddenly sprang from the seawater, pointing directly at Shen Jue.
Shen Jue was prepared; she swiftly swung her knife and cut the beauty silk in two.
It doesn't give it a chance to get close to itself at all.
The beauty lost a thread, and her strength was also slightly diminished.
The red thread severed by Shen Jue turned into blood and merged into the Black Sea.
The beauty didn't resurface; instead, it submerged underwater and didn't go far, waiting for its chance.
It doesn't attack proactively, but Shen Jue won't let it go. Rather than leaving such a hidden danger following them, it's better to eliminate it completely.
Shen Jue took out a small control card, which was a spare part that Master Zhi Jiu had given her when she last came to the island.
This was only taken out to deal with the strange and troublesome silk threads. Before using this card, Shen Jue used the same trick again, scattering a lot of food scraps in the sea.
She didn't believe that the beautiful silk could hold back after she had just injured it.
As expected, the final result was that after only a short pause, the beauty thread once again controlled the thread and extended it towards the largest piece of food residue.
At the same time, Shen Jue used a light arrow, attached with a small control card, and shot it in the direction indicated by the red light.
This small control card provides area-of-effect control. It does not require a specific target; as long as the character is within the control range of this small control card, it will take effect.
The light arrow, carrying the small control card, shot towards the direction indicated by the red indicator.
The small control card emitted a dazzling light in the water, instantly enveloping the area where the beauty's silk was located. As expected of Master Zhi Jiu's work, every card he creates shines, no matter the design.
With the help of the light arrow and the small control card, the silk was successfully controlled.
Shen Jue ordered the Beauty Silk to surface, and there were no surprises.
The four masters also prepared their attack methods, which allowed them to launch a fierce assault without having to remove the Beauty Silk.
