At first, Ye Yuan thought he had seen wrong.
But after checking again, he confirmed that it was indeed the corpse of a beetle.
And judging by its condition, it had probably died not long ago. Its entire body was still remarkably intact.
It did not look as though it had died after being attacked by any creature.
That raised a question.
How had such a highly aggressive insect died—
without suffering any physical damage?
Before Ye Yuan could figure it out,
he saw that after the lobsters had divided up the little squid,
they turned their attention to the dead beetle.
Everything had happened too suddenly, and Ye Yuan was some distance away from where it had occurred.
Even if he swam at full speed now, he would not be able to snatch the beetle's corpse before the lobsters tore it apart.
Still, Ye Yuan quickly swam to the scene.
With a wave of his hand, he stored several lobsters that were still feasting away into his space.
He did not know what consequences would come from the lobsters eating the dead beetle.
But neither could he allow those lobsters to continue roaming the sea.
After entering the space, the lobsters were confined by Ye Yuan within an isolated section of sea.
As for how to deal with them?
Ye Yuan had already decided the moment he collected them.
Once he returned, he only needed to hand them over to Professor Su.

With the location where the beetle had been found as the center, his perception began spreading outward.
When it reached a point roughly ten nautical miles to the northeast,
Ye Yuan was utterly stunned by what he saw.
He had never expected a blue hole to appear
