Chapter 53: Guxian's Ability

Guxian's Ability

"Hm? Nothing?"

The Whale Shark Elder pushed aside the seaweed, but he did not see anything unusual; he looked suspiciously at the cluster of strange seaweed.

After a long while, he threw the seaweed back down hard and returned to his original spot, "Hurry up, hurry up, why are you so slow?"

Chaosheng froze completely; she held her breath and did not dare to move at all. She had originally intended to take Guxian and hide.

Who knew that Guxian would grab her and not let her leave.

With no other choice, Chaosheng had to stay there, even quietly accumulating Witch Power, waiting for the Whale Shark Elder to discover them so she could deal him a fatal blow.

But who would have thought that the Whale Shark Elder actually did not discover them? He was clearly standing right in front of them, only five feet away, yet he simply did not notice them?!

Thinking of this, Chaosheng looked at Guxian with questioning eyes, "What did you do?"

Guxian lightly curled the corners of his mouth, a mysterious smile appearing at the corners of his eyes, his tone innocent, "I didn't do anything?"

"I just didn't let him discover us."

Chaosheng frowned slightly, a flash of realization crossing her eyes, her voice like cold water droplets sliding down: "Is it your ability?"

Guxian did not deny it, lightly saying "Hm," his slightly lowered red eyes shimmering with a faint, elusive light.

Chaosheng calmly sized up Guxian, her thoughts surging; since he had a way to evade the Whale Shark Elder's detection, he must also have a way to go directly across.

Thinking of this, she pursed her lips in displeasure, her gaze slightly cold: "Do you have a way to bypass them and go directly into the rift valley?"

Guxian gave another light "Hm," his smiling eyes carrying a trace of imperceptible mischief.

"..." Chaosheng felt she had been played. If he had this ability, why did she use seaweed as a blindfold, acting like a fool.

She raised her eyes and glared fiercely at Guxian, but his clear, moist eyes held a faint smile, and his beautiful face looked weak and innocent, instantly making Chaosheng unable to say anything harsh.

With her tongue against her teeth, Chaosheng closed her eyes deeply, restraining her emotions, and then suddenly opened them, "Let's go."

"Take me down."

Forget it, business comes first.

"Alright."

Guxian stopped teasing her and lightly used his ability, and the two of them disappeared in the eyes of the other Beastmen.

The bottomless cliff wall, the pitch-black color, the bitter and foul odor made one uncomfortably turn their head away, fearing they might get even a little bit on them.

Chaosheng had made up her mind to go down; she looked at Guxian hesitantly, "I..."

"I'll go with you," Guxian said firmly.

His soft, beautiful brows and eyes revealed an indestructible stubbornness; Chaosheng was silent for a moment, "Alright."

Anyway, with her here, she would not let anything happen to him.

Many Beastmen were going back and forth, picking and transporting Sea Spirit Ginseng up and down; Chaosheng and Guxian chose a secluded spot.

The emerald-green grass-ginseng grew amidst the drifting, sticky black silk, faintly shimmering with a dim light; after the Beastmen approached, their murky minds would also become a little more comfortable.

Relying on Guxian to provide cover, Chaosheng snuck over and picked one, clutching the grass-ginseng in her hand to examine it, then sniffed it.

A flash of depth crossed Chaosheng's brows and eyes; this scent was like Sixth Tier, and its appearance was also similar.

But wasn't Sixth Tier something that grew on land?

Could it also exist in the sea?

If this really was Sixth Tier, Chaosheng blinked worriedly, a trace of fear appearing in the depths of her eyes.

Those Beastmen who consumed the Sea Spirit Ginseng directly would likely...

Thinking of this, she turned around and said solemnly to Guxian: "Let's go."

Before leaving, Chaosheng snuck two more Sea Spirit Ginseng; what if she ruined them during research? It was safer to bring two more.

With the help of Guxian's ability, Chaosheng successfully left the Black Rift Valley with the Sea Spirit Ginseng.

"Are you going back?"

Guxian did not miss the obviously strange look on Chaosheng's face just now, his light voice carrying a hint of disappointment.

It was likely that she was in no mood to go hunting anymore at this moment.

Chaosheng, however, just shook her head heavily, "It's fine, let's go hunt for Xiaodu first."

The matter of the Sixth Tier was not urgent; she should go hunt for Xiaodu first, as she had already promised.

Guxian swam slowly with Chaosheng; along the way, the atmosphere was unusually heavy.

Chaosheng flicked her large purple tail absentmindedly, her pretty little face unhappy; was Sixth Tier really the same as Sea Spirit Ginseng?

Sixth Tier did indeed have a purifying effect, but Sixth Tier must be consumed with boiled White Cold Leaf water.

If Sixth Tier were consumed alone, it would be poisonous.

Xizhi seemed to have sold Sea Spirit Ginseng to many Beastmen; if that were the case, I fear... many Beastmen in the Polar Sea would die prematurely.

"We're here."

Sunlight penetrated the seawater, casting columns of light; some dinoflagellates swayed and drifted, flashing with a faint fluorescent light, and sea fireflies shook their bodies, emitting a glaring blue light, like "blue tears" in the ocean.

Deep blue mackerel swam in schools, encountering black-and-white transparent ice fish.

Merging, scattering, magnificent, dreamlike.

Chaosheng wrapped the three Sea Spirit Ginseng in seaweed to ensure they wouldn't be damaged by these small creatures. At this moment, she felt a bit envious of Zhuche; if only she also had a Spatial Ability, she could put all these Sea Spirit Ginseng into her own portable space.

"Oh right, how much does Xiaodu usually eat?"

Chaosheng estimated that Xiaodu was a very small octopus, and it looked like his appetite shouldn't be large.

"He doesn't eat much, but if you bring a lot back for him, he will be very happy."

Guxian used grass vines to roughly weave a net bag; it couldn't hold small fish, but it was no problem for holding large, adult fish.

He handed the other side of the grass vine to Chaosheng, his clear red eyes looking at Chaosheng gently: "If we hunt like this, we can catch a lot at once."

Chaosheng looked at the grass vine handed into her hand, and after a flash of confusion in her eyes, she quickly understood Guxian's meaning, "Alright."

"Let's swim over together."

She chose a good angle; from this direction, they could easily net both the blue-flower fish and the ice fish at the same time.

Chaosheng and Guxian each took a side, the mouth of the vine net slowly opening; purple hair and red hair drifted softly in the sea as the delicious school of fish fell into the green trap.

"This, we can catch a few more." Chaosheng pointed to the right, a hint of a smile appearing in her somber eyes.

She had never fished like this before; in the past, she would either catch a couple of fish herself to eat, or simply eat the fish already caught by Baini and Yinxu.

She hadn't expected a simple hunt to be so interesting.

"Alright." Guxian shook the vine net in his hand, and many fish that didn't meet the size requirements were shaken out, leaving the vine net much emptier.

His red eyes dimmed slightly, and Guxian pursed his lips and chuckled, "This one, this one, Xiaodu loves to eat this kind of fatty one."

The one he was pointing at was an ice fish, which was uncharacteristically rounder than the other sharp, long ice fish, and also two parts longer in body length.

At a glance, it was clearly a fish with delicious meat.

Chaosheng's eyes lit up, and she looked at this fish, eager to try.
