Gou Zai Fei Men made up myths

Shen Mo immediately scanned the area with his divine sense and saw a blurry shadow, several meters long, silently and rapidly approaching beneath the gray-black sea, exuding a cold and greedy aura.

"It's a 'Shadow Jellyfish,' gregarious, skilled in mental attacks, and its tentacles are poisonous, capable of corroding spiritual energy." The old sea dog also spotted it, a fierce glint flashing in its single eye. "We can't let it get close, it'll summon its kind! Master Stone, it's up to you!"

Shi Tie had already stood up. A fierce glint flashed in Tong Ling's eyes. Without any apparent movement, the giant axe in his hand flew out and transformed into a sharp, earth-yellow light, silently disappearing into the sea.

"puff!"

A dull thud, like a skin being punctured. The shadow beneath the sea froze abruptly, then twisted wildly, and ink-like liquid gushed from the wound, staining a patch of seawater black.

But the "Shadow Jellyfish" was extremely resilient. Despite being injured, it did not retreat but instead emitted a sharp, soul-piercing hiss!

"squeak--!!"

The sound wasn't loud, but it was extremely penetrating. Even with calming talismans and protective formations, the people on the ship still felt dizzy and their vision blurred.

"You're courting death!" Shi Tie sneered, his hands forming a hand seal. The giant axe submerged in the water suddenly trembled, and a burst of violent earth-elemental spiritual power erupted!

"boom!"

A cloud of murky spray erupted from the sea, and the massive body of the "Shadow Jellyfish" was torn apart from the inside by the violent spiritual power, turning into a shower of foul-smelling minced flesh. But its dying screams had clearly carried far.

Deep within the gray fog, from all directions, came more and more intense, teeth-grinding squeaking sounds. Beneath the sea, countless shadowy figures were gathering!

"Damn it, we've stirred up a hornet's nest!" Old Sea Dog's face changed, and he suddenly turned the helm. The "Black Sturgeon" groaned as it forced a turn and accelerated toward a certain direction!

"Quick! Get out of these waters! The Shadow Jellyfish hold a grudge, and their numbers will only increase!"

Shen Mo frowned slightly, but did not make a move. This was just an appetizer; if he had to handle even this little bit of trouble himself, then there was no point in continuing this adventure.

Zhao Qingyan's figure flashed and she was already at the stern of the ship. With a series of flicks of her hands, several streams of light disappeared into the sea, instantly transforming into a huge electric net that crackled with lightning. This net trapped the few shadow jellyfish that had recently attacked, causing them to hiss and convulse, temporarily hindering the pursuers.

Su Xiao's figure flickered on the deck several times, and a ghostly light flashed in his hand. Several strange birds that looked like bats but had fish tails and tried to swoop down from the sky had their throats precisely cut off and fell into the sea.

Shi Tie recalled the giant axe and stood guard on the ship's side like a gatekeeper. Any monster that dared to approach was cleaved in two by the axe.

Li Xiaocao hid behind the cabin door, watching nervously, holding several bottles of highly poisonous "bone-corroding powder" in her hand, ready to throw them out at any moment.

Under the skillful control of the old sea dog, the "Black Sturgeon" was like a nimble fish, darting left and right through the increasingly dense swarm of shadow jellyfish. Occasionally, it used the protective array engraved on its hull to withstand a few mental shocks and venom sprays. The ship's hull flashed with spiritual light, but it ultimately withstood the pressure and gradually left the troublesome monsters behind.

Only when the annoying squeaking sound could no longer be heard did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

But the atmosphere didn't lighten much, because the fog thickened and the sea became even more deathly still. The invisible sense of oppression felt like a cold, large hand was gripping everyone's heart.

"We've only just reached the outer perimeter..." Li Xiaocao's face was pale, and her palms were sweaty as she held the medicine bottle. Although the battle was short, the strange mental attack and the unpredictable sneak attack still left her with lingering fear.

"You'll get used to it." The old sea lion wiped the water droplets (whether seawater or cold sweat, it was hard to tell) from its one eye, spat, and said, "This godforsaken place is full of weird stuff. The Shadow Jellyfish are relatively easy to deal with, at least you can see and touch them. What's scary are the ones you can't see..."

Before he finished speaking, the gray fog in front of him suddenly began to churn violently, as if stirred by an invisible hand.

Immediately afterwards, a huge "scar," with edges shimmering with iridescent colors but an interior as black as ink, constantly twisting and changing, suddenly appeared a hundred feet above the sea!

The "scar" was several tens of feet long and more than ten feet wide at its widest point. It floated there quietly, its edges shimmering with a beautiful yet eerie seven-colored light, while its interior was pitch black as if it could devour all light and life.

It appeared without warning, simply lying silently in front of the "Black Sturgeon," blocking its path.

"A spatial rift! A stable, medium-sized rift!" the old sea dog exclaimed in shock, his single eye filled with horror. "Damn it! How did this thing get here?! It wasn't here when we scouted it out yesterday!"

Zhao Qingyan's expression changed drastically, and she said urgently, "Turn around quickly! Go around it! Keep at least a thousand feet away! The edge of this stable crack may look beautiful, but it is actually extremely dangerous. If you get too close, you will be torn apart or banished to the unknown void by the chaotic spatial forces!"

Without her saying a word, the old sea dog was already frantically steering. But the "Black Sturgeon" was quite large, with enormous inertia, and turning would take time. And that spatial rift seemed... to be slowly moving? Drifting towards them!

"It's too late! Hard to port! Full speed ahead!" the old sea dog roared, veins bulging on his neck.

Shen Mo's gaze sharpened, and he took a step forward, already at the bow of the ship. He stared at the beautiful yet deadly seven-colored scar that was slowly drifting towards him, while the Myriad Laws Source Pearl in his sea of ​​consciousness spun rapidly.

In his perception, the crack was not a single, continuous entity. The iridescent light at its edges was an extremely unstable spatial turbulence, while the darkness at its core connected to an unknown dimension filled with a destructive aura.

But amidst this turmoil and deathly silence, relying on the profound perception of spatial laws through the Myriad Laws Source Pearl, he vaguely "saw" an extremely subtle, relatively "calm" crack.

"Turn right, 15 degrees, maintain this angle, and charge forward." Shen Mo's calm voice rang out, drowning out the old sea dog's exclamation and the creaking of the ship turning.

"What?! Sect Leader! That's a spatial rift! If we crash into it, we're finished!" Shi Tie exclaimed anxiously.

"I'll listen to the sect leader!" Su Xiao's cold voice was resolute; she had absolute trust in Shen Mo.

Zhao Qingyan gritted her teeth, made hand seals, and several array flags on both sides of the ship lit up, forming a solid light shield to protect the ship. At the same time, she activated the "Space-Fixing Compass" with all her might, trying to stabilize the space around the ship.

The old sea dog's face turned green, but seeing Shen Mo's calm expression and determined gaze, he gritted his teeth and, following Shen Mo's instructions, vigorously turned the rudder!

The "Black Sturgeon" let out a groan of unbearable strain, tilted, and traced a dangerous arc as it crashed headlong into the massive, slowly drifting spatial rift!

Everyone on the ship, except Shen Mo, was on tenterhooks. Li Xiaocao even closed her eyes and gripped the cabin door tightly.

Closer and closer! The seven-colored light was right in front of us, and its eerie glow shone on everyone's face, clearly illuminating the expressions of fear and determination.

The violent spatial turbulence caused the ship's protective shield to fluctuate violently, emitting a teeth-grinding "creaking" sound.
