Near Blue Island, in an unnamed stretch of sea.
Ye Yuan lay hidden among the seagrass, bored out of his mind.
Waiting for an uncertain answer.
When the beetles returned to the cave entrance once more and continued the actions of the beetle before them,
Ye Yuan finally understood why these beetles had come out.
They were coming out to feed, allowing their bodies to produce a certain toxin.
Then, through a transmission method unique to their species, they transferred that toxin from their bodies to the sleeping red beetle.
After several observations, Ye Yuan had reached a general conclusion.
For the time being, the red beetle showed no signs of waking up anytime soon.
And this special method of transmission was enormously draining for the beetles as well.
Weren't many of the beetles in that swarm already slowly dying?
Seeing this, he felt an inexplicable surge of joy.
Ye Yuan optimistically guessed that perhaps he would not need to act at all.
The beetles might simply exhaust themselves to death through this constant depletion.
But Ye Yuan also had a concern.
It was the beetles emerging from the depths of the Blue Hole.
Because of the Blue Hole's strangeness, Ye Yuan's senses could only reach a few hundred meters deep.
He could not see what lay at the bottom at all.
That meant Ye Yuan still had no idea how many beetles were inside the hole.
If the number of beetles at the bottom exceeded a certain amount,
Then they might really be able to awaken the red beetle.
He did not know why these beetles wanted to wake the red beetle.
But judging by the number of beetles continuously swimming out,
There could not be few beetles at the bottom of the hole.
The only good news was
