I can find treasures in my dreams.

One second later.

The shattered mirror silently and automatically mended itself.

This is enough to prove that the saying "a broken mirror is hard to mend" is not necessarily true in the supernatural era.

The boundless grassland and the surging river disappeared without a trace.

All that remains is a deep green, mysterious sea.

Yang Fan said softly, "Alright, the spatial transformation is over."

He paused for a moment, then added a bit of background information: "When the space is unstable, it is very easy to encounter spatial changes when you first enter the Beast Maze. Once you enter the maze, it is not so dangerous."

Everyone's hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

Only then did Lu Yishan muster the courage to ask, "Mr. Ghost, were the people inside the seashell-shaped flying machine we just saw dead?"

Yang Fan nodded and said, "Yes!"

He casually added, "This aircraft belongs to a civilization called the 'Jade Shell Civilization.' They should be from another realm. There are two powerful knights inside the aircraft, but unfortunately, the monsters that attacked them have reached the level of quasi-Venerables."

The above information was obtained through astronomical observation.

Lu Yishan felt a chill run down his spine again.

Even powerful knights lost two of them in an instant; the Beast Maze is too dangerous!
At this time.

The anomaly on the mirror disappeared.

The deep green ocean has become a real ocean.

"Woo~"

Lu Yishan immediately felt an extremely strong sea breeze.

Logically speaking, with such a strong sea breeze, the wind speed would not be less than fifty meters per second, and there should be large waves on the sea surface, even waves that are more than ten meters high.

However, the surging waves on the sea surface were no more than two meters high.

This phenomenon is very counterintuitive.

Even a fool could tell that this strange phenomenon must be caused by some kind of supernatural power existing in the Lost Sea.

With a flick of his right hand, Yang Fan conjured a massive sphere made of marine-derived adhesive, about 100 meters in diameter, which appeared out of thin air and slowly descended toward the deep green sea.

He flew straight towards the sphere and ordered, "Everyone, go inside."

The soldiers followed and entered the sphere through the entrance at the top.

soon.

With a "whoosh," the bottom of the sphere hit the sea surface and sank straight down.

The seawater adhesive automatically moves and completely seals the entrance, but there is no concern about oxygen deficiency.

Because colloids are bioactive substances, they can spontaneously transport oxygen from the outside in.

Thanks to this amazing property, even the Great Xia Navy has taken a liking to Haiyuan Glue and is figuring out how to utilize this new material.

Through the transparent colloid, Lu Yishan could see countless wisps of green threads floating in the seawater.

The most peculiar thing is that the silk threads sometimes appear as an illusion and sometimes as a real material, making it impossible to tell whether they are real or fake.

This is undoubtedly the fundamental reason why the seawater appears dark green.

Although the silk thread seemed harmless, he had a strong intuition that if he fell into the water and came into contact with the thread, the outcome would definitely not be good.

Lu Yishan couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Ghost, what are these threads?"

Yang Fan replied, "These are 'Spirit Silk Worms' born from the impact of the laws. They are creatures that are half matter and half energy."

"They naturally possess a rare ability to absorb supernatural forces from their surroundings."

"If a warrior or any outsider below the rank of warrior accidentally falls into the Lost Sea, their supernatural power will be drained within seconds, and they will eventually drown in the water."

Lu Yishan felt an urge to say "Holy crap!"

He felt from the bottom of his heart that the Beast Maze was full of thorns and deadly traps at every turn.

He could hardly imagine how much the Azure People would have paid to develop the resources of the Beast Maze without big shots like Mr. Ghost and Mr. Raven.

Yang Fan continued, "Spirit silkworms are also a very good resource. From them, a substance called 'True Spirit Silk' can be extracted, which can effectively stimulate spiritual growth."

"Only a very small number of Lost Seas within the Beast Maze will produce this resource. The Azure Civilization is quite lucky; this resource will appear opposite the Gate of the Divine Tree."

"Therefore, this is a rare opportunity for the Azure Civilization."

Lu Yishan became excited immediately.

As someone with superpowers, he knew all too well the difficulty of training one's mind.

Looking at the primordial world, there are dozens of times more natural treasures for tempering the body than for tempering the spirit.

Yang Fan instructed, "Your task today is to harvest Spirit Silk Worms from this Misty Sea until the warehouse is full. I will teach you how to harvest them without being attacked by the Misty Sea."

Upon hearing "the attack of the Lost Sea," Lu Yishan subconsciously asked, "Mr. Ghost, could the Lost Sea be alive?"

Yang Fan gave an affirmative answer: "That's right! That's why we can't catch too many Spirit Silk Worms, otherwise the Lost Sea would definitely not tolerate it."

Lu Yishan glanced at the dark green color outside the colloid and felt even more that this place was too eerie.

*
Six hundred kilometers away.

A huge circular building made of light blue crystals, with a diameter of over 500 meters, is floating on the surface of the deep green sea.

This is clearly a ship or aircraft built by some civilized world.

The fact that this civilization appeared here most likely indicates that it was also there to capture spirit silkworms.

The bottom of the crystal ring is about several meters above the sea surface.

"Wow~"

With each surge of the waves, a large amount of water comes into contact with the crystals.

If you look closely, you can see the silkworms in the water splashing around, wriggling desperately as they try to burrow into the crystal.

"Om~"

The ring vibrated slightly and emitted a burst of blue light.

The silkworms stopped wriggling and fell back to the surface of the sea.

Judging from the fact that "the ring prevents the silkworm from getting close", the silkworm is obviously not easy to deal with, and at least poses a considerable threat to the ring.

Inside the ring.

Two powerful knights, clad in exquisite blue crystal armor, hovered a meter off the ground, overlooking the churning waves of the Lost Land Sea.

Judging from their appearance, they are also human, only their faces are not clearly visible.

A few seconds passed.

A more robust knight said in a low voice, "Only when you reach the level of a knight do you realize how terrifying the Lost Sea truly is."

Another knight, whose helmet was adorned with intricate carvings, responded in a melodious voice: "Indeed, this is a sea of ​​hunger."

Judging from their voices, it should be a man and a woman.

The burly knight, a male knight, asked a question: "What do you think the Lost Sea really is?"

This is a strange question, which contains an underlying message—he feels that the Midgard Sea is not the sea it appears to be.

The female knight shook her head and said, "I don't know."

She thought for a moment, then said, "It is said that many powerful civilizations have a rumor that every dangerous place in the primordial world contains a deep 'inner world'."

"I feel that the hunger emanating from the Lost Sea might be some kind of power emanating from the inner world."

The male knight nodded slightly: "That makes sense."

at this time.

A warrior clad in blue crystal armor strode into the hall.

With each step this person took, his armor flashed, and his stride could cover at least ten meters.

This was clearly some kind of rapid movement technique granted by the armor, useful in both combat and daily life. The warrior only ran five steps before arriving beside the two knights, kneeling on one knee to report: "Report! The Starry Sky Eye has just detected a warship, suspected to be from another civilization, 600 kilometers away."

The two knights exchanged a glance instinctively.

The impact of the laws had only just begun when people from other civilizations appeared near the sea area where our civilization was collecting spirit silkworms. What a coincidence!

The male knight strode to the center of the hall and made a gesture with his left hand.

"Crack!"

Just hear a soft sound.

A smooth crystal bead silently rose from the originally smooth, seamless ground.

The top of the crystal bead flashed, and a phantom eyeball appeared.

The male knight commanded, "Reveal the target!"

next moment.

The eyeball emitted a blue light.

An immersive, ultra-high-definition holographic image immediately appeared in the spacious hall.

This was none other than the collection ball released by Yang Fan, a giant sphere made of marine-derived adhesive.

The female knight glanced at it a few times and immediately came to a conclusion: "The quality of this thing is very average, far inferior to the psionic crystal collection ships manufactured by our Blue Crystal Civilization."

She added, "The other party must be an inferior civilization."

The male knight noticed something unusual: "This gathering ship seems to be harvesting spirit silkworms."

The female knight paused for a moment, then blurted out, "That's impossible?"

She immediately said, "It's still daytime, and the Spirit Silkworms are very active, making them extremely difficult to collect. A slight mistake could provoke the will of the Lost Sea. How dare they collect them at this time?"

The male knight did not immediately refute, but took two steps forward and reached out a hand to touch the crystal pillar.

The holographic image began to change.

First, a rapid zoom-in reveals a corner of the collection vessel, where the marine-derived adhesive used to construct the hull can be clearly seen.

The zoom-in process continued until a one-meter square area of ​​the ship's hull became a twenty-meter area of ​​influence.

This is equivalent to a 20-fold magnification.

At this point, you can see that the hull is not completely smooth; a large number of fine white threads have grown on its surface, which tremble constantly with the rolling tides.

The male knight said in a deep voice, "Yara, take another look!"

The female knight, Yara, immediately adopted a swarm tactic, skillfully entangled the silkworms with her white silk.

The white silk gradually merges with the silkworm in a way that defies comprehension.

Throughout the process, the filarial worms did not offer much resistance.

This means that the fusion process will not disturb the will of the Midsea, nor will it provoke its wrath.

The white turned pale green and shrank back into the hull, where new white threads grew.

Yara was completely stunned.

The male knight then offered a timely conclusion: "This civilization has a very powerful individual; they may not be an inferior civilization."

Yara humbly accepted: "Mott, you're right, I almost misjudged the other party."

She naturally understood that the other party's ability to catch spirit silkworms during the day meant that the other party had a deeper understanding of spirit silkworms and possessed more powerful secret techniques.

This indirectly indicates that the other party is stronger.

Therefore, it is not difficult to draw another conclusion—the other party used inferior materials simply because these materials were best suited for this secret method.

Yara hesitated for a moment, then proposed a plan: "Should we visit this civilization? Maybe we can make a trade with them and exchange it for this gathering technique?"

Just now she looked down on the other person, but now she speaks in a much more humble manner.

After a moment's thought, Mott said, "We can give it a try."

He turned to the soldiers and ordered, "Launch a spirit crystal shuttle at the target to signal our intention to communicate with them."

The knight emphasized one point: "Be sure to approach the other person in the most amicable way, and absolutely avoid any conflict."

The soldier immediately replied, "Yes, sir!"

He certainly understood the other meaning of "absolutely no conflict"—in the event of a conflict, his civilization would absolutely be no match for the other.

*
the other side.

Inside the Haiyuan rubber collection vessel.

Lu Yishan and his subordinates were intently operating the collection boat.

Although the ship can automatically catch spirit silkworms, the low total amount of bioactive colloids results in a relatively low level of consciousness, leading to low catching efficiency.

To improve efficiency, human assistance is needed to guide the process.

Lu Yishan originally thought that the Ghost Boss brought him here so that the Lost Land Legion could have some training.

He now realized that given the danger level of the Beast Maze, the misfits of the Maze Legion weren't even qualified for training; at best, they could only play menial roles.

After a while.

Lu Yishan caught over 100,000 silkworms and felt mentally fatigued.

Although hundreds of thousands may sound like a lot, the filarial worms are extremely small; in reality, they only amount to about the size of a bucket.

Lu Yishan sighed, "Watching the two big shots acquire the original resources, it seemed so easy for them. But when it came to me, I realized how difficult it was."

He drank a cup of nourishing water to promote mental recovery and began to work hard for the Blue Star again.

at this time.

The data collection vessel's central control system suddenly issued a warning: "Attention, an unusual target has been detected 200 kilometers away."

Lu Yishan immediately tensed up.

The Ghost Boss has already left. As the supreme commander of the gathering ship, he naturally felt immense pressure.

What if the resource gathering ship is destroyed? How am I supposed to explain this to the boss?
Lu Yishan immediately issued the order: "Activate defense mode!"

The sphere changed instantly.

First, its size has shrunk, with its diameter decreasing from one hundred meters to fifty meters.

Then, sharp spikes grew on the outer surface, and the numerous spikes formed a strange resonance, mobilizing the seawater to form a water shield.

Finally, the sphere sank rapidly into the deeper part of the Misty Sea. It was fifty meters underwater just now, but now it sank straight down to more than three hundred meters.

The number of silkworms here is extremely small, less than one-thousandth of that in the surface water.

*
Six hundred kilometers away.

Mote, a knight of the Blue Crystal Civilization, saw the sphere through the Starry Sky Eye and seemed to be startled, feeling a chill run down his spine.

broken!

Could the other party have misunderstood the approach of the spirit crystal shuttle as a hostile act?
His heart pounded, and a thought flashed through his mind: "What should we do if the enemy's powerful members launch an attack?"

A subordinate's report suddenly rang out: "Report! A knight-level expert has been detected 500 kilometers away, with a Mystic Spirit Index approaching 10,000 points!"

Mote was startled by what he heard.

Ten thousand points?!
This is the level of a near-Venerable One!

The enemy civilization's resource gathering ships had just hidden themselves when their top experts appeared. Was this an act of revenge?
The female knight Yara shouted, "Recall the Spirit Crystal Shuttle! The collection ship must leave this place at full speed!"

Mott snapped out of his daze and chimed in, "Right, right! Get out of here at full speed!"

But 500 kilometers away.

Yang Fan stood in mid-air, looking on with a bewildered expression as the blue crystal ring emitted a burst of bright light, then sped away into the distance as if chased by a vicious dog, leaving a trail of water splashes in its wake.

There's no danger here, why are you running? (End of Chapter)
