In the image at the very center of the Halo.
Groups of Flower Nacre Clan members were busily weaving a nest.
That was right.
Weaving.
Each Flower Nacre Clan member swayed her jellyfish-like lower body, secreting a transparent gelatinous substance that expanded and solidified into a foam-like material upon contact with seawater.
They worked in groups of three to five, jointly producing large hexagonal tiles, each five meters wide, then piecing the tiles together.
Cheng Han quickly performed a Deduction and instantly understood the nest's final form—a massive sphere three hundred meters in diameter.
Besides that.
There was another point worth mentioning.
Though the tiles were made from soft, springy gelatin and had a degree of elasticity, they were astonishingly tough.
For example.
Even a strong Warrior wielding an alloy sawblade would struggle to cut through one tile in less than a day.
Cheng Han carried out a second Deduction in succession and was even more astonished. It can actually withstand a Mystic Master's full-force strike. The nest's structure is sturdier than I expected.
The greatest secret behind the nest's toughness lay precisely in these highly elastic yet exceptionally resilient tiles.
In technical terms—energy absorption.
When an enemy's attack struck a tile, part of its force would be absorbed. The power transmitted to the next tile would be weakened by another degree.
And so on.
Layer upon layer of tiles continuously weakened the attack, creating this unbelievable level of strength.
Honestly.
It was truly incredible.
A sea race that appeared to live like savages, without blueprints or measuring tools, could actually construct such an enormous building by hand, one whose sturdiness surpassed all imagination.
Cheng Han could not help muttering softly, "I never expected these Flower Nacre Clan members to be such outstanding master builders!"
A flash of inspiration suddenly
