The white mist was as dense as milk, spreading across the sea for more than a dozen kilometers in every direction and shrouding a small stretch of ocean.
The white mist drifted and coiled slowly, standing in stark contrast to the black seawater around it.
Beneath the moonlight, it glimmered with a faint white radiance, carrying an eerie air.
The Deep-Sea Giant Crab immediately halted, its enormous compound eyes fixed tightly on the patch of white mist, full of confusion.
"Strange. When the scouts patrolled this area before, there clearly wasn't any mist. Where did this mist come from?"
It could sense faint Spiritual Energy fluctuations within the mist. Though weak, they were exceptionally strange, stirring a trace of unease in its heart.
The four-legged pufferfish at its side also sensed that something was wrong. It immediately turned around and shouted at the beast horde behind it, "Who was in charge of scouting this area just now? Step forward."
"It was this lowly one." A lobster around three meters long quickly squeezed out from the beast horde. Its shell was dark red, and its two massive claws trembled slightly, clearly showing its nervousness.
It hurried before the Deep-Sea Giant Crab and the four-legged pufferfish, then respectfully lowered its head.
"Reporting to my lords, when this lowly one scouted this area earlier, I indeed found no white mist at all. This mist must have suddenly appeared after I finished scouting and returned."
"And you still dare to quibble?" The four-legged pufferfish flew into a rage. Its round body instantly swelled by a full circle, and the poisonous spines across its body stood erect.
"How could such a vast patch of white mist possibly appear out of nowhere? You were plainly careless and negligent."
The lobster scout trembled from head to toe
