The four of them launched a fierce attack together. Although the beauty silk wanted to resist, its movements were greatly restricted under the control of the small control card, and it was completely controlled.
Their teamwork was flawless, successfully resolving the hidden danger of the "beauty silk" (a type of hair loss).
Over the next few days, they explored the area and enjoyed a few peaceful days.
Luck was on our side, and nothing major happened.
After several days, there was no good news. Shen Jue was alright; she wasn't too tired.
However, the masters themselves seemed somewhat listless after these few days of exploration.
Even dry rations couldn't restore their previous spirits.
Balsa objected: "How much longer are we going to keep searching like this? Can't we get some direction? If we keep wandering around aimlessly like this, we'll probably get lost at sea."
Kleedo: "I'm not worried about getting lost. Shen Jue can return to the raft anytime he wants, and then summon us back. But that would mean all our efforts over the past few days would be wasted. Would you be willing to accept that?"
Kleedo was right. If Shen Jue wanted to go back to the raft now, she could do it with just a thought.
She hasn't had any particularly significant gains in the past two days.
But the game system has been updated.
When out and about, players can teleport back to their raft anytime, anywhere, greatly ensuring their safety.
This is why he persisted in continuing to wander here for so long.
With a lifeline, she could quickly return to replenish her supplies when food was scarce.
Shen Jue: "How about I go back to the raft and make a few boats to bring you back so you can rest? Flying all the time isn't a solution."
Shen Jue's voice wasn't loud, but it reached the ears of several people.
Mu Xingran: "Alright, go and come back quickly."
Mu Xingran can hold on, but Balsa might not. She agreed with Shen Jue's approach.
Afterwards, Shen Jue took the token and returned to his raft.
The first thing I did upon returning was to use fine timber, ironware, electrical appliances, and a power system to build three nautical ships.
This project is a special case, something that can be completed or not. After all, if you already have a raft, who would want a sailing ship? Most importantly, sailing ships don't have security systems.
Encountering strong winds and waves can easily lead to accidents.
Therefore, these special zones are generally not allowed to be in a certain state by default.
And this kind of boat can finish in an hour.
Shen Jue used the hour to wash up; otherwise, she felt she would start to stink.
After washing up, I tidied up the crops planted on the land and sowed the next batch.
After replenishing some food, the crafting time was just about to end.
Afterwards, Shen Jue decided to use the teleportation token and sent an application to Master Yang.
As soon as Shen Jue sent it out, the other side agreed.
The next moment, a light shone from Shen Jue's body.
He vanished instantly. Hundreds of miles away, Shen Jue appeared out of thin air above the sea.
She quickly steadied herself, took out the sailboat, and then stepped onto it.
It gives you a feeling of being grounded.
It's still this comfortable. Although I can fly with the help of the Flying Halberd, there's always a feeling of weightlessness when I'm in the air.
Now that they have a boat, they also have a place to rest.
In particular, they learned that Shen Jue had also set up a kitchen, toilet, and shower room on the ship.
Mu Xingran and Balsa, being women, couldn't wait to rush to the shower room.
Krido and Yang headed straight for the kitchen.
Shen Jue ignored them; she wanted to stay at the bow of the boat and check the surrounding situation.
If you discover anything is wrong, quickly call them out and face it together.
Shen Jue stood at the bow of the boat, gazing into the distance.
The waves were churning on the horizon, and along with them, it looked like a white, fluffy mass was rolling towards this place.
As they got closer, they discovered that they were countless round spheres.
Shen Jue glanced at the prompt: (A mutated juvenile sea monster.)
Her gaze turned serious. She knew that the appearance of this mutated juvenile meant that the source of the mutation they were looking for was not far away.
Thinking of this, Shen Jue estimated the time and realized it was about time.
"Cridor, Yang, Balsa, Master Mu Xingran, come out quickly, there's a new situation at sea."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xingran immediately put down her fortune-telling tools.
She still can't shake the habit of resorting to divination whenever she encounters a situation; she relies on these things too much.
When she consults the oracle, she is happy if the hexagram indicates minor good fortune, major good fortune, or moderate good fortune. However, if the hexagram indicates danger, misfortune, or great misfortune, she does not want to face those things.
But no matter what happens, what's coming will come.
The divination result this time is extremely ominous, but within this ominous sign, there is still a glimmer of hope.
It is self-evident who this glimmer of hope refers to.
If we follow Shen Jue, there might still be hope of getting out alive.
Mu Xingran quickly calmed herself down, put away her tools, and then walked onto the deck.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Shen Jue: "Master Xingran, where are you looking?"
Mu Xingran looked up and saw towering waves surging on the distant sea, accompanied by numerous spherical objects on the surface of the waves.
The densely packed array of things is so overwhelming that just one glance at it makes one feel physically uncomfortable.
The three who arrived late did not react to the scene.
In contrast, Master Yang was shocked.
"How could something like this be here?"
Balsa: "What is it?"
"I've encountered something like this before. It's called a mutated juvenile. These mutated juveniles are usually caused by some kind of marine creature being infected by an unknown element, resulting in mutations."
"If a creature is already powerful, then it will only become many times more powerful after mutation."
"I've only ever seen one like this when I was sailing before. After that mutated juvenile hatched and grew into an adult, it followed another ship relentlessly and eventually dragged it into the sea. The fate of the crew is unknown, but I miraculously survived. I'm still terrified when I think about that powerful mutated juvenile."
"My God, how did these waves sweep up so many mutated juveniles?"
Yang couldn't believe it. Back then, even the mutated larvae he encountered in ordinary sea areas were so dangerous. Now, encountering so many mutated larvae in the treacherous Black Sea was truly a disaster.
“We don’t yet know what kind of mutated creature they are. Before they hatch, we can enter their lair and investigate the source of the mutation,” Kleedo stated this fact in a serious tone.
This is currently their most direct clue in investigating the source of the mutation.
Aside from Shen Jue, who immediately agreed to Kleedo's suggestion, the others were taken aback.
They looked at Clidor with astonishment, seemingly wondering how the usually rational Clidor could have made such a crazy decision this time.
Klee calmly explained, "This is the best solution I can think of right now. You want to find the root cause of the mutation, right? Now is the perfect opportunity."
Kleedo was saying this to Mu Xingran.
Although Mu Xingran is steady and reliable, she is always cautious and considerate. It is precisely because of this personality that she is able to become good friends with Balser, who is decisive and unconventional.
Their personalities complement each other. Seeing Mu Xingran deep in thought, Balsa couldn't hold back any longer.
"Xingran, what are you still hesitating about? Duoduo's suggestion is clearly the best solution."
After thinking for a moment, Mu Xingran finally said what was on the tip of her tongue.
"Before Shen Jue called us out, I did a divination, and it turned out our operation was extremely unlucky. I was thinking, maybe we should stop investigating the source of this anomaly and go back. Everyone's safety is the most important thing."
Mu Xingran was telling the truth. After spending so many days together, she had already come to regard these three as her friends.
She didn't have many friends to begin with, and Balsa was an exception. She had finally gained three friends, and she didn't want to see them lifeless.
Using the telepathy Balsa taught her, Shen Jue made a quick assessment and concluded that Mu Xingran's current psychological state was quite complex.
She's not a professional psychologist, so she can't offer any guidance.
To resolve the root cause of the anomaly and uncover the secrets of the Black Sea, we need to give Mu Xingran a strong dose of medicine.
“I have some bad news to share. I just saw that the young larvae have broken through their membranes.”
"What?" the four people exclaimed in unison.
"But I have some good news I haven't told you yet."
"Little Shen Jue, don't be so surprised, quickly tell everyone."
Shen Jue: "The good news is that these young species are the juvenile sea monsters, and Master Xingran's purification ability is just right to suppress the mutated sea monsters."
Upon hearing this news, Mu Xingran no longer hesitated. The clues were right in front of him. If these sea monster larvae escaped again, they would have to cause trouble on the Black Sea for many more days.
Mu Xingran gradually clarified her goal: to solve the root cause of the mutation and lead her friends to safety.
Mu Xingran composed herself. "I'm really sorry everyone. I had to ask you all to comfort me at a time like this. Let's follow these sea monster larvae and see if we can get into their lair."
“Come with me. While you were trying to persuade Master Xinran, I attached a tracker to one of the sea monster larvae. The signal shows that they are sinking into the deep sea at a speed of ten meters per second. The monitoring range shows that there are many of its kind around, and they seem to be heading towards a certain place. The place they are going to might just be their lair.”
On the panel that only Shen Jue could see, it showed that the sea monster with the tracking device was sinking rapidly.
"Great job, little Shen Jue. After you leave the Black Sea, you're welcome to visit my island. I'll show you the scenery of my Qianlin Island."
"We'll talk about that later. Let's go downstairs first."
The four masters jumped into the sea, and Shen Jue retrieved the boat and fully armed himself with a diving suit.
This time, she stopped pretending and overtook the masters ahead of her at top speed, leading the way.
Having her lead the way is the safest and most reliable route.
Because only she knew where to avoid danger.
Shen Jue's speed is no less than any of theirs. Keep in mind that this is the deep sea, where he can sink without ignoring any pressure. He is a master.
Shen Jue said that it's all thanks to the diving suit, which can ignore any deep-sea pressure and is really useful.
The masters followed Shen Jue, and then they discovered that they did not encounter any large or dangerous animals during this dive.
It was very safe along the way.
Upon reaching the seabed, Shen Jue slowed down.
Tracking signals showed that all the sea monster larvae had surged into a trench and remained motionless.
They either reached the nest or knocked off the tracker.
Neither of the two is important to Shen Jue, because her direction of exploration has changed.
