The reason he hadn't noticed it earlier was that this plant looked far too much like ordinary seaweed.
So Ye Yuan had always assumed it was just ordinary seaweed and hadn't paid attention to this seaweed-like plant.
Ye Yuan carefully examined the "seaweed" with his perception.
It was about five meters long, and among its many branches grew an unknown fruit roughly the size of a thumbnail every few dozen centimeters.
The fruits were entirely black, giving off a dangerous feeling.
A closer look revealed that the Red Shark among the school of sharks seemed to be swimming around aimlessly, but was actually circling the "seaweed" nonstop.
Ye Yuan's eyes lit up at the sight.
Drawing on his extensive experience hunting for treasures on the seabed,
since the Red Shark was so anxious around this plant,
it meant that the plant was probably about to mature.
This also explained why, after so many days, not a single shark could be found outside, while so many sharks were gathered here.
Ye Yuan thought to himself,
if his guess was correct,
then it was precisely because this unknown fruit was about to mature that the shark king had gathered its entire school here to prevent any accidents.
After all, since this unknown fruit could be sensed by Cold Blood,
it meant that other sea beasts might also be able to sense its existence.
That was why the Red Shark had gathered all its underlings here—to guard against other competitors.
It was just like when he had first discovered Cold Blood.
Back then, Cold Blood had slaughtered who knew how many deep-sea creatures before finally earning the right to enjoy that fruit alone.
Thinking of this, Ye Yuan immediately withdrew his perception and quickly searched the surrounding area.
Fortunately, there were no signs
