Fang Mo put away the metal fragment engraved with the Fang Family emblem, and looked up at the purple-black sea deeper in the rift valley. The Prison Suppressor Patterns under his feet was still slightly hot from swallowing Primordial Demon just now.
"My Lord, the direction of the water flow in front has changed."
The voice of Nian Nu'er came from the rear left. Her newborn body exuded a very faint blue luster in the darkness of the deep sea. Nine Nether Black Water formed a thin film on her palm, which continued to rise and fall with the changes of the sea currents.
Fang Mo didn't reply. He had already felt that the resonance frequency on Copper Fragments suddenly turned a corner after they passed through the rift valley, from downward to forward, pointing to a seabed landform that Fang Mo had never seen before.
It was a coral jungle.
But they are not ordinary corals. Each one is several feet high. They are dark red in color and covered with a layer of translucent mucous membrane. Under the mucous membrane is a slowly flowing blood-colored liquid, as if the coral's own blood vessels are pulsating.
The density of the coral bush is extremely high, and the distance between the plants is no more than two feet. Looking in from the outside, the line of sight is completely blocked from three feet away. Inside is a thick dark red Chaos.
Fang Mo opened Netherworld Ghost Eye and tried to see through the situation inside the coral bush, but the picture returned by the ghost eye began to distort after entering the coral bush for ten feet, as if it had been disturbed by something.
"The poor family's spiritual perception cannot enter either." Nian Nu'er walked to Fang Mo and frowned slightly, "These corals are releasing a kind of spiritual interference wave with extremely high frequency. It is somewhat similar to the poor family's Nine Nether Origin, but more primitive and rough."
"Can I leave?"
"You can walk, but after entering, the master's Netherworld Ghost Eye and the poor family's mental perception will be greatly weakened, which is equivalent to blind men trying to grasp the elephant."
Fang Mo pressed his hand on God Slaying Saber, and the Prison Suppressor Patterns in his palm resonated with the dragon pattern on the handle of the knife. A very low dragon roar created a circle of ripples in the sea water.
"Copper Fragments's guiding direction is inside the coral bush."
"Can't get around it?"
"There's no way around it." Fang Mo took Copper Fragments out of his arms, and the two pieces of Copper Fragments stuck together. The dark Golden Patterns in the middle extended toward the center of the coral bush, and the frequency became faster and faster, as if urging.
"Then let's break in."
Fang Mo stepped into the coral bush.
As soon as I stepped inside, the world around me changed.
Dark red light seeps out from the coral walls in all directions, forming a viscous mist in the sea water. The breath is full of rust-like smell. The dry space formed by Water-Avoidance Pearl becomes unstable here, and a few drops of dark red water droplets occasionally seep into the edges.
Fang Mo's pace did not stop. He held the knife in one hand and Copper Fragments in the other, moving forward in the direction with the strongest resonance frequency.
After walking about fifty steps, the density of the coral bush suddenly doubled, and the original two-foot gap shrank to less than one foot. Fang Mo had to turn sideways to pass.
Just as he squeezed sideways through the gap between two corals, Nian Nu'er's voice suddenly became urgent.
"My lord, on the left."
Fang Mo did not turn his head, the Chaos Law Patterns on his left arm instantly lit up, and a gray force shot out from his elbow, hitting the root of a coral on the left.
The coral did not break, but rolled up from the roots. The entire coral collapsed as if its bones had been removed, revealing what was hidden behind it.
It was a humanoid outline, all gray and white, the skin covered with a translucent mucous membrane like coral, the eyes were two empty black holes, the mouth was opened at an impossible angle, and it was filled with barb-like teeth that curved inward.
Devil Race Assassin.
It rushed towards Fang Mo at the same time as it was exposed. It was extremely fast. Its gray-white body was like a bolt of lightning among the dark red corals. Half a foot long bone spurs protruded from the fingertips of its hands.
Fang Mo's God Slaying Saber didn't even take it out of its sheath. He just raised his left hand with his palm facing forward.
"Inverse."
When Devil Race Assassin rushed three feet in front of Fang Mo, its body suddenly began to fold in the opposite direction, its arms twisted backwards, its spine bent into an arc that shouldn't exist, and all the protruding bone spurs pierced its own chest.
Before it even had time to scream, its entire body was shattered into a ball of gray-white flesh under the influence of Chaos Law.
"More than one." Nian Nu'er's voice came from behind Fang Mo. The blue pupils were particularly eye-catching in the dark red environment. "The poor family counted at least twelve, distributed in all directions of the coral bush. They use the mental interference of the coral to hide their own aura."
Fang Mo stepped on the ball of meat and continued walking forward without any change in pace.
"You said the interference waves from these corals are similar to your Nine Nether Origin."
"Similar, but more original."
"Can it be used in reverse?"
The corners of Nian Nu'er's mouth curved, it was a smile that was very familiar to Fang Mo, with a hint of arrogance belonging to Primordial Succubus Ancestress.
"My lord, do you think that after the poor family reshaped this body, they just regained their previous abilities?"
She didn't wait for Fang Mo to answer. She clasped her hands together in front of her body. The faint blue light seeped out from the gaps between her ten fingers, forming a very thin thread that spread along the sea water to the coral walls in all directions.
"Nine Nether Bewitching Web."
The moment those faint blue silk threads came into contact with the mucous membrane on the coral surface, the blood-colored liquid that was originally pulsing autonomously under the mucosa suddenly stopped, and then started beating again with a completely different rhythm, the frequency was exactly the same as Nian Nu'er's breathing.
The entire coral bush became an extension of Nian Nu'er at this moment.
"Found it." Nian Nu'er's voice had a hint of amusement, "Twelve assassins, now the poor family knows the location of each of them, the heartbeat of each one, and what is thinking in each head."
Fang Mo stopped and leaned against a coral wall that had been controlled by Nian Nu'er, with his arms folded across his chest and God Slaying Saber's knife handle pressed against his shoulder.
"Then don't waste it."
Nian Nu'er's ten fingers slowly opened in front of her, and the faint blue silk threads gathered into ten light points at her fingertips, each light point connected to a line leading to the depths of the coral bush.
"When a poor family is young, what they are best at is not charm." Her voice became very soft, as if she was recalling an extremely long past, "Let the prey come to you."
Her hands clasped together suddenly.
The entire coral bush emitted a resonance that was inaudible to the human ear but clearly perceptible at the mental level. The Devil Race Assassin that were originally protected by the coral interference waves had their defenses instantly disappear under the action of the resonance.
Not only that, the coral bush began to release a new wave, which accurately targeted the mental weakness of each assassin, as if someone was whispering in their ears, tempting them to move in a certain direction.
Fang Mo Looking at the coral gaps in all directions, the gray-white figures began to gather in the same direction, their steps were mechanical, and the black holes in their eye sockets were blankly out of focus.
They are heading towards Nian Nu'er.
No, they are heading towards a beautiful dream that Nian Nu'er has weaved for them. The dream contains the things they desire most, whether it is food, safety, or strength. Nian Nu'er reads the answer from the gaps in their spirits, and then turns the answer into bait.
Twelve Devil Race Assassin came out from all corners of the coral bush, like sleepwalking, and gathered in an open space ten feet in front of Fang Mo and Nian Nu'er, shoulder to shoulder, with almost no gaps between them.
"Your Majesty, please." Nian Nu'er took his hand back to his side and made a gesture of invitation toward the open space. The playfulness in his blue pupils turned into pure respect.
Fang Mo straightened up from the coral wall, and God Slaying Saber unsheathed it.
There is no Geng Gold Killing Aura, there is no Chaos Law, it is just the simplest knife, drawing a plane arc from left to right. The blade passes over the necks of twelve assassins, bringing out twelve dark red blood lines.
Twelve gray-white heads fell to the ground at the same time, slowly sinking in the sea water to the rocks at their feet.
Fang Mo sheathed the knife, the Prison Suppressor Patterns on the sole of his foot lit up, and Record of Punishing Crimes's chains shot out from the ground, dragging the souls of twelve headless corpses into Prison Suppressor at the same time.
"Shadow Weaver's miscellaneous soldiers?" Fang Mo looked at Nian Nu'er.
"No." Nian Nu'er shook his head, his blue pupils swept across the dissipating wreckage, "These are species native to Guixu, fed by the mental fluctuations of the coral jungle. They are not very intelligent, but have extremely strong speed and concealment capabilities. They specialize in hunting outsiders who stray into the coral jungle."
"It has nothing to do with Shadow Weaver."
"It doesn't matter." Nian Nu'er looked away, "Guixu There is no shortage of dangerous things in this place. Not everyone who blocks the road is coming for the Lord."
Fang Mo said yes and took out Copper Fragments again to sense the direction.
"How far ahead is it?"
"Core Area in the coral bush is about three hundred feet directly in front, and the resonance frequency of Copper Fragments reaches its peak at that location."
Fang Mo stepped deeper into the coral jungle, stepping on the gray-white remains that were still slowly dissipating. God Slaying Saber sheathed it and tapped its fingers lightly on the handle.
The coral bush controlled by Nian Nu'er took the initiative to separate to both sides, leaving him with a passage that could accommodate two people walking side by side. Dark red light flowed on both sides of the passage, like two breathing blood-colored walls.
The three-hundred-foot road was covered by less than one stick of incense.
The coral bush suddenly broke off in front, revealing an empty submarine plain. In the center of the plain was a circular pit with a diameter of about ten feet. On the edge of the pit was a ring of coral that was obviously different in color from the surrounding ones. Those corals were not dark red, but pure black, with no mucous membrane on the surface, as if they had been burnt.
In the center of the pit, there is a spherical object suspended.
The diameter of the sphere is about three feet, and its surface seems to be made up of countless layers of extremely thin membranes stacked together. The color of the membrane is constantly changing, from gray to dark gold to blood red. Every time it changes, a layer of the surrounding seawater will be sucked in and then spit out, forming a slow breathing rhythm.
When Fang Mo's Copper Fragments saw the sphere, it began to heat up violently. All the dark Golden Patterns on the surface lit up, and the frequency was so fast that it almost formed a straight line.
Nian Nu'er's footsteps stopped at the edge of the pit. She stared at the sphere for a long time, and there was something surging deep in her blue pupils.
"My lord."
"I saw it."
"That's not a Copper Fragments fragment." Nian Nu'er's voice deepened, "That's an eye."
