Bubbles drifted in the gloom.
Rocks, dead fish, algae... the world was nearly devoid of color.
Using the rocks as cover, Liang Qu swam deeper, observing in secret.
Before entering True Image, when he saw Hunting Tiger experts, there were still a few colors in his field of vision that were easy enough to distinguish. After entering True Image, even Hunting Tiger demon beasts were like Long Yao and Long Li before them, their colors so faint they were difficult to detect.
In the water, Liang Qu had an extremely low presence. So long as no gaze swept directly over him, he was almost impossible to notice.
As he ventured deeper.
His perception spread.
There were not many demon beasts in the entire Pufferfish Tribe territory. Some were stationed elsewhere, while some had gone to battle the Doghead Fish. There were only five or six Hunting Tiger-level demon beasts, nothing worth mentioning. There were, however, quite a few spirit monsters below them.
Not until he reached the center.
Did he glimpse two rather conspicuous patches of color through the caves.
The richness of a color represented the threat the other party posed to him. Separated by a sheet of paper or a layer of earth and stone, the threat would not vanish, and naturally neither would the color. It would only be slightly "distorted."
One was pale, roughly a quarter of his own; the other was darker, roughly a third, perhaps more, but not half.
With True Image strength, the distortion through a layer of earth would not be great.
Clearly.
They were the targets of this trip!
According to the intelligence, the former should be Spiky Thorns, the second brother, while the latter was Spiky, the eldest brother.
The two beasts had entered the Great Demon realm far earlier
