Chapter 169 Mission Completed, Xiao Yu Resolved
Once again, I'm amazed by the power of the explosive barrel.
Shen Jue felt that the main reason was that this stone gate had been there for an unknown amount of time.
This stone gate looks very sturdy, but it would become a paper tiger if it were broken with force.
After breaking down the door, murals came into view on all four sides.
I shone the flashlight on each of them and learned a little information.
According to the mural, the Black Scale Merfolk boss, for some reason, threatened members of his tribe and fought for leadership.
Then, during the struggle for leadership, he was defeated by another merman and seriously injured.
The Blackscale Merfolk, having failed in their struggle, were eventually expelled from their original merfolk base by the newly appointed merfolk leader.
Exiled to the Black Sea, to eternally guard this place.
The Black Scale boss was reluctantly guarding this place.
After looking through the entire mural encyclopedia, Shen Jue felt that the NPCs in this world were quite trustworthy!
Like that wolf clan before, they also failed to compete for leadership and were banished to the Land of Lost Souls.
This merman boss is the same; if he fails, he will be thrown into the Forbidden Sea.
They have a very strong sense of territory; are they afraid they'll come back to fight them?
These losers were quite principled; even when exiled, they didn't put up a fight.
Shen Jue originally thought that these losers had just given up on themselves, but now it seems that's not the case.
Just look at the offspring that this Black Scale boss has raised; you can tell he still has the will to go back and fight, otherwise he wouldn't have raised so many offspring here.
Shen Jue recorded this mural map because the Black Scale Boss had detailed the location to the Merfolk's base on it.
After she recorded the map, her hidden quest—The Secret of the Merfolk—increased by 15%.
Finding a base adds 15%, so the total progress of the hidden side quest is now 25%.
Shen Jue was very happy to have completed a small milestone in both side quests.
Finally, she guessed that the remaining 5% of the Black Sea mission should be defeating that boss.
Now, as long as we leave the seabed and try to leave the Black Sea, we can lure out the Black-scaled Merman boss.
With her and Qingfeng working together, they're bound to suppress the big boss no matter what.
Shen Jue gestured for Qingfeng to shrink and wrap around his wrist, silently chanting to return to the raft.
Lili had been patrolling the raft for a long time, and she knew about even the slightest movement.
So when there was movement where Shen Jue had left, Li Li immediately jumped over to check.
"Sister Xiaojue, you're back! How was it? Was it fun underwater? Did you encounter any danger? Was it exciting?"
Li Li's series of questions made Shen Jue laugh.
"The seabed isn't fun, and it's a bit dangerous. We'll encounter an even bigger danger later. When that happens, you'd better stay on the raft and don't go anywhere."
Lili nodded. "Okay. If there's any danger, I'll hide immediately."
Shen Jue used the steering card to steer the raft toward the edge of the Black Sea.
Halfway there, Lili suddenly spoke up, "Sister, I've discovered a very strange area. There's a barrier blocking the way at the very front."
Shen Jue immediately praised Li Li, "Li Li is so great, how did you know there was a barrier there?" Shen Jue knew there was a barrier because she had walked through it last time.
Unexpectedly, Lili has an exceptional talent for perception.
This is simply the best support for her!
We've reached the familiar sea boundary line again.
About 500 meters from the boundary line of the sea area, a surge of seawater appeared in front of the barrier.
Immediately afterwards, the familiar merman boss emerged from the sea.
This boss looks bigger than before. What did he eat to grow so big?
The big boss also saw Shen Jue and immediately recognized him as the person who had escaped from his clutches last time.
This time, no matter what method she uses, he will definitely stop her and capture her to use as fertilizer.
The two met with fierce fighting spirit.
The boss slapped its tail at Shen Jue's raft. Last time, it easily sent the raft flying dozens of meters, and this time was no different.
However, this attack was no match for the raft's defenses.
The raft possesses invincible defense and excellent defensive capabilities; even the final boss cannot break through its defenses.
At most, they just wanted to make the people on the raft uncomfortable.
But the Black Scale boss will be disappointed, because Shen Jue can fly, Qing Feng can fly, and although Li Li can't fly, she's nestled in Shen Jue's hands, which, in a sense, is also a form of flight.
The Blackscale Merman was in a difficult position. Shen Juefei was positioned very high, so his attacks on the raft were ineffective.
So, taking advantage of the fact that the Black-Scaled Merfolk couldn't fly, Shen Jue and Qing Feng kept launching long-range attacks on the Black-Scaled Merfolk from the sky.
Attack cards and needle cards were used to target this massive target in turn.
The unfortunate thing is that the Black Scale Cult is large, so he can only passively take the beating. If he doesn't want to be beaten, he can only sink to the bottom of the sea. If he sinks to the bottom of the sea, this despicable person will take advantage of his diving to quietly escape. It's simply shameless.
In desperation, the Blackscale Merman decided to use a frequency that caused vibrations to summon endless tsunamis.
Let the attacks continue; once the tsunami hits, none of them will escape.
The Black-Scaled Merman's calculations were excellent, but he overlooked Li Li.
Lili heard this frequency. Although Lili is not yet an adult, her perception is far superior to Chen Jue's.
Therefore, as soon as the merman boss made any move, Lili immediately told Shenjue. Shenjue trusted Lili and directly interrupted the boss's spellcasting.
The big boss was forced to stop in frustration and kept getting beaten up.
If you can see a health bar above the boss's head, it means he's constantly weakened and losing health frequently, without any chance to fight back.
Shen Jue, who successfully interrupted the boss's spellcasting, thanked Li Li, "Thanks, Li Li! Your tip was really timely!"
"Hehe! As long as it works."
And so, with Shen Jue and Qing Feng's continuous attacks, the Black Scale Merman boss was worn down to death, collapsing with resentment.
With the boss down, the Black Sea quest reaches 100%, the side quest is completed, and a legendary treasure chest is awarded. A huge boss treasure chest also floats on the sea after the boss falls.
Shen Jue was delighted and went over to pick it up.
When she finished collecting the treasure chests, she discovered that the Black Sea boss respawned every 30 seconds!
No no no no, this is not good news. They fought for almost ten hours before finally killing the Black Sea boss. She doesn't want to fight for another ten hours; it's exhausting.
So, Shen Jue called Qing Feng, and with Li Li in tow, they returned to the raft instantly.
Use the barrier-breaking card on the barrier to quickly leave this dangerous place.
The raft quickly pierced through the barrier and traveled further and further away in the opposite direction of the Black Sea, leaving the newly resurrected Black Sea Merman boss helplessly enraged.
Black-scaled Merman Boss: Once again! She escaped again. It won't be so easy next time.
Just as the big boss finished thinking those words, a strong drowsiness overwhelmed him, forcing him into a deep sleep.
He can only be awakened when the next navigator arrives and wants to leave.
Shen Jue was in a great mood after successfully completing the Black Sea mission.
I haven't eaten all day, so I'll treat myself to a big meal.
The fact that they were able to get out so smoothly this time was entirely due to the three of them working together.
Having finally had a hearty meal, Shen Jue strolled around the land contentedly, circling in circles.
At this moment, Shen Jue was a little excited. What kind of reward would she get from this treasure chest?
Shen Jue opened the legendary treasure chest and obtained a set of deep-sea battle suits.
Open the boss's treasure chest to obtain SSS-grade top-quality mermaid silk.
