The Merman King first lay inside that huge glass vessel.
Then, an energy shield appeared out of thin air directly above the glassware.
The alien island's core, filled with polluted energy and located inside the glass coffin, emitted a shimmering light.
Cracks began to appear on the Mermaid King's once smooth skin, spreading out like cracks on porcelain.
As the cracks deepened, patches of skin gradually peeled off, just like old, cracked plaster falling off a wall.
After the old skin peeled off, the black flesh of the merman king inside the glass coffin... no, or rather, the pupa-like creature, stimulated by the core of the alien island, gushed out more black water, in which countless tiny black insects could be seen swimming.
It looks a lot like the little black bugs that chased her before.
Fortunately, Shen Jue had seen many big scenes, so she could watch such a disgusting scene without changing her expression.
She can ignore it in order to keep the mission in progress.
[Exploring the Secrets of the Merfolk – The Mystery of the Merfolk King's Identity? Progress +15%, Current Quest Progress 60%.]
The progress of this mission clearly indicates that the identity of the Mermaid King remains a mystery, and it is still unknown what this Mermaid King in front of us is.
Why don't we take advantage of its current weakness, destroy this glass coffin, and annihilate this thing?
The more he thought about it, the more feasible the method seemed, but Shen Jue always had a habit of rehearsing before doing anything.
While Shen Jue was thinking, she was able to multitask. After considering all the possible outcomes, she still couldn't make up her mind.
She didn't know the weaknesses of the black worm and the wriggling flesh. Making a move rashly would only alert the enemy. She should wait and see!
A while later, it turned out that she was right not to take action earlier.
The black body inside the glass coffin began to struggle violently, and the black water gradually boiled, bubbling up black bubbles.
The tiny black insects inside became even more numerous.
Shen Jue has excellent eyesight; she witnessed firsthand the tiny black insects devouring the black flesh.
With each bite of the black flesh, the tiny black worm grows larger, then continues to devour the black flesh.
The black flesh gradually turned into irregular chunks of meat.
This scene sent chills down Shen Jue's spine.
The wriggling black flesh and the small black worms seemed to be opposing forces.
The black chunks of flesh have no offensive capabilities and can only be eaten by small black insects.
Shen Jue was secretly shocked; the strength of this little black insect far exceeded her expectations.
I didn't expect it to be so powerful. That grayish-black chunk of flesh must be the original host.
If the black bugs aren't eliminated quickly, they'll be able to pinpoint her location the moment they transform into human form.
If they try to escape again, it won't be as easy as the first time.
It seems that we must find another way to eliminate it.
It's too late to act now.
If only we could cut off the black worm's energy supply.
The black worm that had been chasing her was probably starving and had run out of energy, eventually turning into liquid.
Considering the entire layer of alien island cores inside the glass coffin, perhaps the Origin Sphere could come in handy.
However, her original sphere could only purify one alien island core before.
There are so many alien island cores here, it's probably impossible to purify them all.
Why not temporarily move them to another place and let them evolve later?
Shen Jue quickly assessed his current methods and realized that the possibility of bypassing the energy shield and taking away the core of the alien island was extremely slim.
So the only option was to take it all with her, but she didn't have a suitable place to store the ice crystal coffin.
She didn't want to put this mysterious thing into her spatial storage; she wished the game system could reclaim it.
This plan is not feasible. If we want to resolve this crisis without exposing ourselves, the only option is to retreat in advance.
When faced with danger, know when to retreat; don't make unnecessary sacrifices.
However, before leaving, you can leave a few small tools here to observe the situation...
After Shen Jue finished setting things up, the energy shield on the glass coffin became increasingly faint.
It's time for her to take a nap; it's time to go back!
