After hearing Yiyi's explanation, I was already a little unsettled.
Does this mean that the group of scabies mites that were just killed released distress signals to their kind before they died?
The army of sea scabies worms from the Dragon Palace is about to arrive?
One or two is already enough for them, let alone another batch of reinforcements...
The consequences would be unimaginable!
At that time, let alone 1,000 beads, even 10,000 beads probably wouldn't be enough.
Having just arrived, I can hardly imagine how mysterious and rare the creatures within the Dragon Palace, though it is a world within a well.
This one type of marine scabies mites is definitely no match for the two of us.
Besides, no matter how useful the beads are, we only have two people and four hands.
If they were truly surrounded by sea worms filled with vengeful intent, they would really be doomed here.
I made a quick decision and immediately took Yiyi and left the place.
As for energy and such, there will definitely be new opportunities when the chance arises. Sharpening your axe won't delay your work.
Yiyi looked back at the layers of sea worm corpses with a touch of nostalgia.
She then extracted the usable energy from the corpse as quickly as possible.
"Brother, although there are many corpses here, they are all damaged sea worms, and the usable energy is greatly reduced."
I nodded, looking at the girl's blank face, and made up my mind that before we escaped, I should at least make up for what she was missing.
I didn't say much, but I shuddered twice as I looked at the horrifying pile of corpse worms.
Then he took Yiyi and left.
And then, Yiyi moved closer to me. Even though she had recovered somewhat, she still clung to me very affectionately.
This kind of scene makes me feel more and more at ease.
We tried to move towards areas with stronger light sources, since those areas closer to the shore and water are definitely safer.
I believe that normal marine scabies mites would not venture to the water's edge without warning.
Moreover, what worries me most now is that after killing the sea worm, I still have the scent of the sea worm on my body.
The roaring signal before the sea worm dies, no matter how far it travels, will still take some time. As long as we don't leave our traces in that place, even the most agile monster won't be able to find us.
Soon, we saw a strange creature with a fish's face and a turtle's body.
Its body was a very strange wild green, with stripes swirling around its back, which didn't seem like what a turtle should have.
The aquatic plants and corals around it twitched like the tentacles of a monster.
It was like a bunch of strange sea creatures having a party.
What a wonderful collection of flora and fauna!
"Yiyi, this little thing? Is this still in China? Why are all sorts of bizarre creatures that wouldn't even dare to be written about in novels coming to greet us?"
Yiyi frowned slightly at this moment, and also let out a long sigh of relief.
She explained to me that the waters in this area might already be polluted.
pollute?
This is the Dragon Palace, how can you say it's been polluted?
Without asking any further questions, I seized an opportunity and quickly reached out to grab the little turtle.
As soon as I made my move, the little turtle seemed to anticipate my actions and immediately retracted its head into its shell.
But what happened next left me speechless.
The little turtle's back immediately began to grow densely packed seaweed and coral-like things.
This scene completely stunned me.
Not only did it grow full of leaves, but the shell on its back also began to breathe rhythmically, making the shell area even larger. The tiny tendrils trembled like foxtail grass, creating a truly spectacular sight.
My trypophobia is about to flare up.
Just as I was hesitating whether to catch it again to study it, the little creature with a fish face and a turtle body suddenly flipped over.
Then, using the small whiskers that grow on its back, it quickly stirs the water.
At the same time, it seemed to control the water flow, first stirring it up, then using it as a propulsion to push the little turtle away.
The creature fled at an extremely fast speed toward a direction of light.
I did not hesitate.
"Yiyi, let's follow it! This thing definitely sees us as enemies; it's definitely running in a safe direction!"
The girl immediately understood my thinking.
If this turtle escapes to a safe place, wouldn't we be able to follow it and directly escape potential pursuit?
At that very moment, a voice transmission sounded in his mind.
"Master, you are truly brilliant! How come I didn't think of that!"
Lightning Sword!? You're alive again, kid? I didn't see you when we were surrounded by sea scabies worms!
Now that you know it's safe, you've come here to join the fun?
I didn't exchange many words with Lei Jijian. In just a short while, the scenery around me completely changed.
If the place that was besieged by scabies mites just now was as deep and tranquil as the deep sea in movies and TV shows, then the scene here now is like a terrifying dreamland!
The seawater, which had just turned a deep blackish-blue, had become a dark blue-purple here.
I didn't even notice that the seawater had changed from being slightly sunlit to being dark and covered by turbid waves.
The surrounding corals were not the bright orange-red of those in the ocean world, but rather stretched out in all directions without any order, looking dull and lifeless like entrails that had been pressed down and soaked for a long time.
The coral and broken seaweed piled together not only gave off a lifeless feeling, but the surface was also pitted and full of holes. The seawater flowed more slowly around it, but you could hear rustling and breaking sounds.
The creature with a fish face and a turtle body actually fits in perfectly with the scene here.
I was about to pull Yiyi away to another place. Even if this wasn't a dead end, it was a place where no living creatures had been around for too long.
Relying on the last rays of sunlight that have almost completely disappeared, venturing into such a deadly place is clearly reckless.
"Brother, something strange about this place."
Yiyi muttered to herself.
I nodded in agreement. Of course I knew that, but right now, replenishing my energy and escaping this hellish place was no easy task.
"Brother, this is not a simple place."
The girl pointed to the objects in the corner.
I was completely dumbfounded.
An anchor, slightly rusty and completely rotten, whose shape can only be discerned with force.
An anchor? Does that mean ships used to come here?
I was startled. The anchor was stuck in the broken coral, with a few tattered pieces of cloth hanging on it, which had dark brown spots on them.
It was practically dried blood.
Aside from that, you can barely make out that there are several broken jars around the anchor, with a lot of slimy seaweed on the mouths of the jars, indicating that they have been there for a long time.
Looking further inside, there was half a thigh bone!
"Sir, madam, I have what you want!"
