689. The Great Fat Worm

On the boundless sea, a green mushroom cap floated on the surface, rising and falling with the waves.

This mushroom cap was exceptionally large, with a radius of a full three meters, but the body beneath it was only the size of a Common Puji.

It repeated this again and again, accelerating to its limit, like an arrow darting through the water, far faster than those sailing ships.

The next moment, the "arrow" struck its target.

In the empty water, a great cloud of Purple Blood suddenly burst out, mixed with plenty of shredded flesh.

Immediately afterward, [Refractive Invisibility] failed, and a sea worm nearly the size of a whale appeared, slowly sinking toward the seabed.

With a single strike, Linden killed it. He did not linger in battle, instead controlling the Jellyfish Puji to accelerate again and flee into the distance.

These bugs were all marine varieties of the Kith,
