Chapter 720: 229. Shadow of the Mermaid_3
Nnd Lee followed Hadley Grant, slowly sinking together.
After they left the magic yacht, the door of the pressure cabin automatically closed, and the magic lock and protective array on the ship started.
A few subtle shes of light passed over the surface of the ship, and the entire ship was covered by a transparent veil, entering into an invisible state.
“Hadley, are there any sea people around here?” Nnd’s gaze glided over the seafloor illuminated by sunlight.
All he saw were many caves emitting faint blue light and white sand, but no sight of sea people.
Hadley recalled:
“I’ve hardly seen any sea people. However,st time I went out to sea, I did encounter traces of merfolk. I identally stayed in the Blue Cave until evening. On my way back, I ran into a group of young merfolk. I couldn’tmunicate with them because we didn’t share anguage. Fortunately, neither they nor I wanted any trouble and each found a cave to leave.”
“Merfolk…” A picture of “merfolk” from a magic textbook came into Nnd’s mind.
The definition of merfolk in this world was the same as in Nnd’s original world, referring to peculiar creatures with human torso and fish tail.
Merfolk were born as dual-practitioner casters of both water and deep-sea systems.
They were unwilling to dispute withnd creatures and refused tomunicate with other races.
Many times, the merfolk poption discovered the previous day would move away the next day, avoiding humans from afar.
Up until now, the Ulnas Circle discovered no less than ten merfolk tribes but never reached a friendly agreement with them.
“Hadley, did you report your encounter with the merfolk to the Deep Sea Branch?” Nnd asked.
Hadley shook his head:
“I didn’t report to the Deep Sea Branch, even though doing so would have earned me a reward.”
“Oh? Why not?” Nnd asked.
“Because… um…” Hadley hesitated and thought for two seconds, then said:
“Because I didn’t want our human existence to disturb merfolk, Jarvis. I thought that since they constantly avoidnd creatures, and as they don’t want to be disturbed, I better not report it to the Deep Sea Branch.
“Of course, another reason was fear of attracting poachers. The Dread Sail Pirate Nation’s bastards love to hunt merfolk. The Deep Sea Branch has discovered many cases of Dread Sail Pirates massacring merfolk. If they know there are merfolk in the Blue Cave, that would have been troublesome, and I would be seen as a criminal by the merfolk.”
Nnd looked at the bulky liquid man:
“You have a point, let’s pretend there are no merfolk here.”
Hadley Grant pointed to an entrance below and changed the topic:
“Look there. That’s the best entrance to the Blue Cave. I’ve usually entered the Blue Cave from that entrance. After we go in, we’ll continue to dive about twenty meters, turn a few corners, and see a cavern covered with dragon n collections. Many of the things you bought were actually picked up by me there.”
Nnd looked in the direction Hadley pointed.
The entrance emitted rtively bright blue light, the light source being the glowing moss.
These mosses were about half a meter high and looked more like lush bushes. asionally, colorful fish would swim through them.
After sending out several Deconstruction Techniques, Nnd received tips rted to the cave entrance, glowing moss, and subsea region.
In those tips, Nnd didn’t see any phrases like “Deconstruction will cause negative effects”.
This indicated that the possibility of the Cave of Spreading Moss being dangerous was rtively low.
For a precaution, Nnd activated the “Perception Enhancement,” a spell with an astonishing energy consumption rate.
The consumption of as much as 100 energy points per minute granted immeasurably keen observation and extremely sensitive perception.
All the gazes directed at Nnd would be detected by him.
Just at the moment when “Perception Enhancement” was activated, Nnd discovered the traces of a mysterious creature hidden at the edge of a cave entrance blending perfectly with the surrounding environment.
This mysterious creature was lurking at the edge of a cave entrance, a hundred meters away. Using its impable disguise, it was casting an observing gaze towards Nnd Lee and Hadley Grant’s direction.
Nnd controlled his facial expressions and head, not disying any emotional fluctuations. His head was always facing the increasinglyrge blue entrance directly below.
Taking advantage of looking around, he allowed his gaze to inadvertently sweep across the mysterious creature as he cast Deconstruction Technique.
[System Message:]
[You’re about tounch Deconstruction Technique on the “unknown name of the Undercurrent Spy.”]’
[You have mastered the standardized panel information for “Undercurrent Spy,” the Deep Sea Scales Meditation Method, and the “Deep Sea Secret Code.”]
[The energy required for deconstruction has decreased significantly.]
[It is estimated that consuming 13,000 points of energy can bring the degree of deconstruction to 100%.]
[The system suggests performing a Harmless Deconstruction.]
An Undercurrent Spy from the Dread Sail Pirate Nation?…Nnd Lee restrained the urge to frown.
He thought it was merfolking.
Did he expose his tracks and attract the tracking of the Dread Sail Pirate Nation?
Nnd Lee pondered secretly.
The Dread Sail Pirate Nation was an evil organization with no humanity, devouring people without spitting out bones and doing all kinds of evil things.
With their style, for someone like him who ruined the infiltration n, there should only be one way to deal with it – to kill relentlessly.
Nnd Lee became cautious and called out his Personal Panel.
The value of the “Energy Points” column exploded, reaching as high as 700,000 points.
He didn’t have to worry about energy points for the time being, and then he silently recited:
“Consume 130,000 points of energy and initiate Harmless Deconstruction.”
Hadley Grant stopped at the cave entrance and began to check the magic effects on themselves. Nnd Lee also received the deconstruction results after a faint sense of trance.
[Harmless Deconstruction Sess!]
[You have obtained the following deconstruction results:]
[1. Personalized panel information of “Undercurrent Spy · Wesley Dagon”:]
[Real Name] Wesley Dagon
[Disguise Name] Caston
[Identity 1] An Undercurrent Spy of the Dread Sail Pirate Nation
[Identity 2] A Sea Patrol Wizard of the Charnel Family
[… (Other information omitted)]
[2. Recent memory fragments of “Undercurrent Spy · Wesley Dagon”:]
[Memory Fragment One: “Dread Sail Pirate Nation’s Surveince n for Blue Cave Merfolk,” 100%pleteness]
[Memory Fragment Two: “Sea Patrol Wizard’s Work Schedule,” 100%pleteness]
[Memory Fragment Three: “A Bloody Scene of Eating Flesh and Blood,” 10%pleteness, system has erased all bloody content.]
[… (Other memory fragments omitted)]
Nnd Lee opened the memory fragments and took a look, then let out a sigh of relief.
The undercurrent spy was targeting the merfolk in the Blue Cave, not him, Nnd Lee. His identity had not yet been exposed.
Now that the Undercurrent Spy doesn’t know who I am, then it would be easier…Nnd Lee’s mouth corner raises an imperceptible smile.
He just wanted to enrich the Deep Sea Scales Meditation Method and obtain the cultivation content above the Four-circled level.
This was rted to his grand n of deconstructing the deep-sea area.
Don’t forget, when he practiced the Deep Sea Scales Meditation Method, he needed to be soaked in seawater, without relying on the “Magic Shield,” to absorb the corrosive nature of the sea water.
This will undoubtedly trigger Passive Deconstruction and increase the degree of deconstruction-of-sea areas.
At the moment, Nnd Lee has not yet practiced “Deep Sea Scales” and is not too clear about the specifics.
But it can be assumed that the higher the level of the Deep Sea Scales Meditation Method, the stronger the corrosiveness of seawater he can withstand.
No matter whether it is to cope with the corrosiveness of seawater or to deconstruct more corrosive sea areas, it is necessary for him to get theplete Deep Sea Scales Meditation Method!
