Free Web Novel“But they are a parasitic race, or rather, a vassal race deliberately cultivated by a certain Transcendent creature.
They actually have no intelligence themselves, even more brainless than paramecia. freeweɓnøvel.com
When they enter their growth phase, they can trap other Transcendent creatures in their shells and slowly absorb their energy with their own flesh and blood until the other party dies, at which point they will be fully mature and become the feast for the Transcendent creature that cultivated them.
Look at their shells; the brightest and most vibrant ones are the fully mature Ritual Snails.
The color of the shell represents the attribute; a sky-blue shell means that all the Transcendent creatures trapped inside are water-attributed!
It’s very bad, Master, that Ritual Snails have appeared in this place.”
After Mingxi heard Guangguang's seemingly simple but actually quite informative explanation, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, connecting all the information!
“Little Silver Flower, were there similar snails in the tomb you entered?”
Mingxi looked at Little Silver Flower, who was maintaining Wing Control in mid-air, since the contract was blocked, she now communicated with Little Silver Flower entirely by shouting.
Little Silver Flower blinked her pink eyes, not understanding /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ why her sister’s voice was so tense, and she nodded in confusion.
“Luo Luo.”
Yes.
They were all white.
Each one was Bright Crystal like a gemstone, but I couldn't get close to them.
It matched.
Mingxi’s face grew even uglier.
Although Black Pearl was slow, her senses were sharper than Little Silver Flower’s, so she must have noticed the anomaly of these Ritual Snails.
It’s also possible that because this Tomb complex happened to be located in the ocean, the water-attributed Transcendent creatures trapped by the Ritual Snails received protection from the ocean and thus had not been devoured by the Ritual Snails.
And they conveyed information to Black Pearl.
“Bright Crystal, go break that snail shell over there.”
According to Guangguang, those duller-colored snails were immature forms that hadn’t fully become Ritual Snails, which meant the Transcendent creatures trapped inside were very likely still alive!
“Guwo!”
No problem!
Bright Crystal was very excited, she hopped on her small feet, nimbly stepping on the snails one by one to reach the target snail, and raised her small fist for a powerful punch.
Mingxi's eyebrows twitched slightly.
The Transcendent creature inside wouldn't be killed by Bright Crystal's punch instead of the Ritual Snails, would it?
After all, this one was capable of breaking even a sealed space.
“Crack, crack, crack...”
After a teeth-grinding cracking sound, Bright Crystal's right hand directly sank into the snail shell; she then extended her left hand and used both hands to pull in opposite directions.
With a pull!
“Snap!”
The entire snail shell was torn into two halves, revealing a... humanoid mummy wrapped in crimson flesh inside?
The flesh was still slightly squirming, emitting a disgusting, sticky odor.
Bright Crystal showed a look of disgust, extended her small foot, and wanted to kick it away.
Mingxi quickly stopped her, “Don’t! Absolutely not!”
“Guwo?”
It stinks, woman, you’re not thinking of eating this thing, are you?
She wore an expression that said, ‘If you dare to eat this, I’ll run away from home immediately.’
Mingxi stepped on the wings spread out by Little Silver Flower and quickly walked to Bright Crystal's side, explaining, “Didn't you notice that what’s wrapped inside is a Mermaid?”
She squatted down, took out a dagger separated from her body by Scarlet Jade, and carefully peeled away the layer of crimson, squirming flesh.
A beautiful, pale face was revealed, with faint, delicate fish scales covering both sides of her face, and sea-blue ear fins that were very similar to the Mermaid carvings she had seen in the Mystic Mirage Sea.
It was undoubtedly a Mermaid.
No wonder Black Pearl ignored her summons; she must have sensed her kin’s plea for help.
Mingxi reached out and lightly checked the Mermaid's breath.
There was actually still breath!
This Mermaid was still alive!
“Bright Crystal, quickly go smash all those duller-colored snails.”
“Guwo.”
Bright Crystal also saw the Mermaid wrapped in flesh; without any hesitation, she bounced towards those dull-colored, unattractive large snails.
Although she had no sympathy, she doted on her woman.
Sigh, there was no other way.
Meanwhile, Mingxi began to concentrate on peeling off the bizarre and disgusting flesh with her dagger; the flesh was like blood vessels embedded in the Mermaid's skin, making a ‘pop’ ‘pop’ sound when peeled off.
It made one's sanity drop rapidly.
However, Mingxi's movements were not delayed in the slightest, like a master who had been deeply involved in the hair removal industry for forty years, working quickly and efficiently.
She also constantly made sure not to let the flesh touch Little Silver Flower’s wings.
It wasn’t that she or Little Silver Flower were germaphobes, but with such evil and disgusting creatures, she worried they might have parasitic or other abilities.
It’s always right to be cautious.
So she didn't just throw away the removed flesh; it was all put into Ni Heta's ring, which had already been emptied.
Over there, Bright Crystal was going ‘bang,’ ‘thump,’ ‘clank,’ either smashing, hammering, or knocking, performing a craniotomy on every large snail she passed.
Here, Mingxi had already peeled off all the Ritual Snails' flesh, revealing a fragile Mermaid body.
A beautiful female Ghost Sea Merman.
“Little Silver Flower.” freёweɓnovel.com
Little Silver Flower understood, controlling the Mermaid, which had been placed on one of her wings, to Float upwards.
Use Holy Healing.
Actually, in situations where life energy is depleted, treatment with Emerald Green's Life Leaf would be more effective.
Holy Healing is unrivaled in healing external and internal injuries, but when it comes to life energy depletion, Holy Healing is indeed far inferior to Life Leaf.
But for now, Emerald Green was still doing who knows what.
To be safe, it was better to have Little Silver Flower preserve the Mermaids' lives first.
After Little Silver Flower's treatment, the Mermaid, whose breath was so faint it was almost nonexistent, trembled her eyelashes slightly but did not wake up.
“Luo Luo.”
Sister, her life energy loss is immense, damaging her foundation; she probably won't wake up anytime soon.
Mingxi was not surprised; these Ritual Snails were ancient relics from who knows what era.
It was possible that these Mermaids had been trapped in the Ritual Snails for longer than Black Pearl had been in her mother's womb.
Not dying was already a miracle, and Mingxi didn't expect them to wake up immediately.
She nodded and shouted back, “It’s okay, just put her on the central island for now.”
“Luo.”
Mingxi didn't waste any time; Black Pearl hadn't appeared yet, and given her personality, she had a high probability of going to destroy other tombs.
However, other tombs had rule restrictions on her; while anti-air was ineffective against Myriad Realms Travel, energy draining would definitely affect her.
She wondered if she could hold on.
While worrying about the bold and reckless Fish Baby, Mingxi quickly peeled off the second ‘mummy’ that Bright Crystal delivered.
After peeling, she sent it to Little Silver Flower, who treated it and then sent it to the central island for temporary placement.
One after another, assembly line work.
Not only Mermaids were peeled out, but also other water-attributed Transcendent creatures, and several of them had already lost all signs of life, making treatment unnecessary.
“Sigh.”
