Could it be that there’s a different space or a secret realm rift nearby?
“Rustle... Rustle...”
Unbeknownst to them, they had already entered the Frozen Salt Lake area.
Because the Ginger Jelly ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) Algae Worms were preparing to migrate, most of the Frozen Salt had already been absorbed, making the entire underwater lake look pitted and uneven, like the surface of the moon.
The remaining Frozen Salt was covered with Ginger Jelly Algae Worms emitting a faint glow, densely packed, but not unpleasantly so.
Although Ginger Jelly Algae Worms are Transcendent creatures of Advanced Level, they are small, only about the size of Mingxi’s palm.
From a distance, they looked like a strip of lights; up close, a mass of yellow light undulating.
However, when closer, their appearance could be clearly seen.
Rather than Transcendent creatures, they resembled exquisite and unique works of art, like ornate brooches made from strung gemstones.
Each one was quite dazzling.
Mingxi also noticed that these worms had a long, ginger-yellow ‘cloth’ hanging behind them, somewhat resembling kelp.
“Is this the ginger jelly algae?”
As a symbiotic partner of the Ginger Jelly Algae Worms, Guangguang said that this ginger jelly algae was actually very precious, an extremely rare material of SS-level and above, capable of replacing complex existing formulas to become the main ingredient for detoxification potions.
However, without the ginger jelly algae, the Ginger Jelly Algae Worms would not live long.
Mingxi had no grievances with the Ginger Jelly Algae Worms, so there was no need to snatch their lifeline for a bit of ‘petty gain’.
Therefore, Mingxi did not intend to attack them.
As Advanced Level Transcendent creatures, Ginger Jelly Algae Worms possess an intelligence roughly equivalent to that of a seven or eight-year-old child, and they naturally discovered the presence of the Poseidon’s Rest.
Such a dazzling shell, and more importantly, one that emitted a sacred aura unique to the ocean, had long attracted the attention of the Ginger Jelly Algae Worms.
Of course, they also noticed Mingxi and Chiyu inside the Poseidon’s Rest.
“Jiang Jiang!”
Many Ginger Jelly Algae Worms had already started to become restless. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Due to the unique nature of the Frozen Salt Lake area, they had almost never seen other races, let alone such a unique Little Human.
So the scene was a bit chaotic.
More and more Ginger Jelly Algae Worms surged towards Mingxi and them, forming a standoff, surrounding the still sinking Poseidon’s Rest.
Chiyu had already prepared for battle the moment the first ginger jelly algae Worm approached.
He held the Guardian Shield, his eyes sharp as he watched the group of Ginger Jelly Algae Worms.
“Jiang Jiang...”
Low calls overlapped, penetrating the seawater and air, echoing in Mingxi’s ears.
Chiyu translated a portion for Mingxi.
The content was largely the same.
Almost all of it was along the lines of, “Outsiders, get out of our territory.”
Mingxi’s expression was calm.
She spoke softly: “Sorry to disturb you, but we mean you no harm.
Excuse me, have you seen a black mermaid just now? It looks like this.”
Mingxi projected a photo of Black Pearl into the seawater.
“Jiang Jiang...”
The Ginger Jelly Algae Worms looked at each other.
“Jiang Jiang.”
A ginger jelly algae Worm, slightly larger and more lustrous in color than the others, floated to the front of the Poseidon’s Rest.
Colonial Transcendent creatures generally have a king belonging to their tribe.
This one in front of them should be the leader of the Ginger Jelly Algae Worms.
It first glanced at the vigilant Chiyu before looking at Mingxi.
“Jiang Jiang?”
Chiyu translated: “King, it asks why you are looking for Black Pearl?”
Mingxi: “I am its Beast Tamers.”
“Jiang Jiang!”
Chiyu frowned: “It says you are lying.”
“Jiang Jiang, Jiang Jiang Jiang.”
“It says that Black Pearl has the fluctuation of the sea god's heart within it, is the future master of the ocean, and it is absolutely impossible for it to become a human’s pet.”
Mingxi did not expect to hear such an astonishing secret.
Black Pearl has the fluctuation of the sea god's heart within it?
Isn’t the sea god's heart one of the four Sea God artifacts?
Mingxi was so startled she almost fell out of the Poseidon’s Rest.
“Guangguang, what’s going on?”
Guangguang was actually a bit surprised too, and after a long pause, replied: “Master, this might actually be true. Anos’s bloodline isn’t very special and mysterious? Perhaps there really is a Sea God artifact sealed within it.
Artifacts conceal themselves, so it’s normal that the Time Realm’s instruments couldn’t detect it.
No wonder the Poseidon’s Rest was bound by Anos so smoothly!
It must be because of the sea god's heart.
This ginger jelly algae Worm, however, is quite interesting; it can actually sense the sea god's heart? Is it because Anos is evolving?
Master, you’ve struck it rich! You actually formed a sworn contract with the future master of the ocean. The future master of the ocean, isn’t that the Sea God?... You’ve struck it rich, struck it rich.”
Mingxi was too lazy to pay attention to Guangguang, whose emotions had suddenly soared and whose little mouth wouldn’t stop chattering.
Her gaze suddenly shifted to the Frozen Salt Lake below.
“Crack!”
A small mermaid was seen breaking through the frozen sea salt layer, leaping out of the frozen ice salt fiercely like a fish leaping over the dragon gate. freewebnovёl.ƈom
And in its mouth, it was actually carrying a small black-tailed mermaid almost identical to itself.
Mingxi was utterly astonished!
Could it be that Black Pearl had a twin brother?
Impossible, Black Pearl was ‘delivered’ by her personally, and at that time, its mother only had one egg in her belly, so there absolutely couldn’t be a second one.
Then what was it carrying in its mouth?
Mingxi, however, did not panic.
With the contract bond, she wouldn’t fail to determine which one was the real Black Pearl.
Anyway, the one being carried was not Black Pearl!
Although the situation before her was extremely bizarre, Black Pearl was not injured, its emotions were very stable, and the light of evolution on its body was becoming purer and stronger.
Why should she panic?
“Eh eh eh!”
Guangguang’s exclamations rang out.
“Could this fish be a bone salt sulfur transformation?”
Mingxi, catching the unfamiliar term, quickly asked: “What is bone salt sulfur?”
Guangguang: “bone salt sulfur, well, that’s a long story.
It might have originally been a very ordinary Transcendent creature, buried in this deep sea for some reason. Before its corpse completely decomposed or was devoured, the area formed a Frozen Salt Lake due to irresistible forces, and the corpse was thus frozen and salted.
The natural treasure formed after a long process of ossification, fossilization, jade formation, sulfurization, and finally re-ossification, is bone salt sulfur.
bone salt sulfur itself is inanimate.
But when it comes into contact with the first living entity, it will immediately transform into that living entity, possessing the exact same appearance, strength, and abilities as the other party.”
Mingxi exclaimed: “Copying life? Perfect cloning?”
“That’s roughly the idea, but the creature transformed by bone salt sulfur is not a true living entity after all; it does not have independent thought and usually can only exist as a puppet clone of that living entity.”
So, a thing is still a thing, and cannot become a true living entity.
“I didn’t expect this Frozen Salt Lake to have actually given birth to a piece of bone salt sulfur. This means this Frozen Salt Lake has existed for at least ten thousand years or more.
Perhaps even longer than Little Silver Flower has existed.
Master, you are really lucky.”
