Shen Jue remained silent. She had seen these menacing merfolk before, and perhaps she had even killed quite a few of them back then.
Shen Jue always felt that these black-scaled merfolk were related to the Black Scaled Big Boss of the Black Sea.
After all, that was a super boss that could be killed and then resurrected again, unlike the bosses in game dungeons who could resurrect infinitely. That was a creature from the sea world that had lived for who knows how long.
Even the game system has to issue exploration quests about him. How could that creature not be powerful?
Whether these black-scaled merfolk are connected to the big boss, read on to find out.
"Guiyi, stop being so stubborn. There is still a chance to turn back."
"Heh! Put away your fake compassion. Everything I do is for the Lord. This is the highest glory. What do you know?"
Seeing that Guiyi was still so stubborn and unrepentant, Xiyue shook his head.
"I never imagined we'd come to this. Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say. Let's start the war." Xi Yue was the leader of the Golden Phosphorus Guards.
Although he was heartbroken that his former friend had become like this, their differing stances ultimately led to them turning against each other.
Shen Jue was engrossed in watching the drama unfold, but unfortunately, the drama ended abruptly halfway through, which was quite disheartening.
Merfolk with differing stances immediately launched an attack.
Shen Jue activated her Illusionary Eye, and she could perceive their every move.
The attacks from both sides generated powerful air currents, creating a confrontation that caused the surrounding sea to tremble continuously.
What came into view was the black energy launched by the black phosphorus merfolk and the golden energy resisted by the gold phosphorus merfolk.
Fortunately, it was outside the palace; otherwise, the fluctuations in this energy field might have shattered the entire crystal palace.
The number of Blackscale Merfolk was not large, only about one-third that of the Golden Scale Merfolk.
Even though they were outnumbered, they were still able to contend with the guards protecting the entire underwater palace.
The massive shockwave generated by the collision of the energies of the two combatants forced the invisible Shen Jue to retreat several meters.
She quickly adjusted her posture, steadied herself, and observed the battle situation.
Although the Golden Scale Merfolk have a numerical advantage, the Black Scale Merfolk are clearly more powerful.
The black scales on their bodies seemed to possess some kind of power, making their attacks more destructive.
As time went on, the Golden Scale Merman gradually showed signs of fatigue and began to struggle against the Black Scale Merman's attacks.
However, the black-scaled merfolk grew stronger with each battle, their attacks becoming increasingly fierce.
If this continues, the Golden Phosphorus Merfolk will surely be defeated.
For the Golden Phosphorus Merfolk to win, they must find a way to break the deadlock before the battle reaches a decisive outcome.
During their battle, Shen Jue noticed a detail: whenever the black-scaled merfolk were injured, their black scales would flash, as if they were absorbing something.
However, when the Golden Phosphorus Merman was injured, there were no abnormalities on his body.
Shen Jue's heart stirred, and he vaguely guessed what was going on.
Shen Jue decided to quietly approach the battlefield, looking for the right opportunity.
Persistence pays off; the mermaids in the midst of the chaos were completely oblivious to Shen Jue's subtle movements.
She spotted a lone black-scaled merman, and Shen Jue could sense that this merman was weaker than the others.
Shen Jue approached the black-scaled merman silently and then launched a swift attack.
After the Destiny Tablet was affixed to the Black-Scaled Merman's body, the Merman was caught off guard and was killed by the Destiny Tablet without even uttering a sound.
Afterwards, Shen Jue quickly put the merman into her spatial storage, which she could use for research later.
Afterwards, Shen Jue used the same method to ambush the second and third lone black-scaled merfolk.
At this moment, Guiyi realized something was wrong!
"Xi Yue, you actually launched a sneak attack? You've killed my men!"
Xi Yue: ? ? ?
