Crystals Beneath the Seabed

Although he had only pursued it for a short distance before shaking off the shark, and it might have simply been hunting normally, Xu Yanwu was still somewhat concerned.

He continued descending. The light was now insufficient for an ordinary person to see the surrounding scenery, so Xu Yanwu released his divine sense and let his mind probe everything around him.

As he observed this way, Xu Yanwu ultimately noticed something amiss.

The creatures around him were indeed more vicious than before.

Conflicts between animals always had their reasons.

Hunting, competing for territory and resources, and so on.

But aside from humans, it was rare to see a living creature attack and kill another simply for pleasure.

Yet now, Xu Yanwu could see—or rather, sense—that happening.

Some individuals around him were clearly larger than others of their species, and they were attacking other creatures.

Just like that shark from earlier.

Xu Yanwu found the shark. It had bitten many creatures to death, but after swallowing only some of the corpses, it left the rest drifting through the sea.

Then, the shark began searching for its next target.

"Was it really affected by Honkai Energy?"

Xu Yanwu frowned and stopped.

The shark, which had been slaughtering other creatures, suddenly felt the seawater around it solidify. It could not even move.

A giant hand formed from seawater brought the shark before Xu Yanwu, while Xu Yanwu took out the phone he had carefully protected with divine power and turned on its flashlight.

The faint white light passed through the seawater, allowing Xu Yanwu to see the shark before him with his own eyes.

At the sight of the light, the shark's first reaction was to open its mouth, full of sharp teeth, and bite toward the source of the light.
