She made this master key herself.
After Master Zhi Jiu taught her this ability, Shen Jue continued to create many universal keys.
Today, it has finally come in handy.
This treasure chest gave her a strange feeling; her illusory eyes couldn't see what was hidden inside.
Only by opening it with a key can we find out.
Before opening it, just in case, Shen Jue affixed a time-limited invincible defense card to himself.
Prepare early to avoid risks in advance.
When a master key is inserted into the keyhole, it immediately becomes a compatible key for unlocking the lock.
Then turn the master key, and with a click, the lock opens.
As he opened the box, Shen Jue quickly retreated.
Sure enough, the moment the box was opened...
A black insect flew out of the box.
However, Shen Jue is not currently in that position.
The insect that jumped out instantly locked onto Shenjue's location.
Shen Jue: !!!
This thing actually knows her location.
This is really bad!
Shen Jue dodged repeatedly, causing the black insect to miss its target.
Finally, the black bug had been away from the box for too long.
It fell to the ground with a thud and dissolved into black blood in no time.
These black insects looked very strange, and Shen Jue couldn't guarantee that she would be safe even if she used the invincible defense card.
There are always special creatures that can harm her.
Having weathered this minor crisis, Shen Jue returned to the open box and found it filled with black liquid.
[Explore the secrets of the Merfolk – the strange black water, what purpose might it serve? Progress +5%, current quest progress 45%.]
Strange black liquid? This stuff should be useful later on.
Collect some first, then leave.
Just as Shen Jue finished collecting a small bottle of black water and was about to recreate the scene, he sensed someone approaching.
Aside from the Merman King, Shen Jue couldn't think of any other merfolk who could come here at this time.
She needs to speed things up.
Shen Jue quickly closed the box lid, locked it, and adjusted the details to make it the same as before opening the box, with the angle just right.
Having done all that, the visitor had already arrived at the center of the underground labyrinth, right next to the ice coffin. What speed!
There was no time to leave now, so while the Mermaid King activated the mechanism, Shen Jue quickly disposed of the small puddle of black water on the ground.
Finally, he pasted another illusion card, then held his breath completely, stood in the empty corner, and blended into the environment.
...
The next one was indeed the Merman King, but his condition was very strange, from Shen Jue's perspective.
Through her illusory eyes, she could clearly see the black aura emanating from the Mermaid King.
Could this dark aura be related to the locked box?
The Mermaid King entered the secret chamber, scanned the area, and found nothing unusual.
It seems he was overthinking it.
Before my afternoon nap today, I had a bad feeling in my heart.
I was worried, so I came here to check.
Since nothing has happened, let's take this opportunity to change our appearance.
Recently, the thing inside me has been resisting. This time, as long as I undergo a transformation, I can completely eliminate it.
So, Shen Jue then witnessed the entire process of the Merman King changing his skin.
