"Cave Daifuku?"

Ivan hadn't retracted his finger yet.

The 'eyes' that had been narrowed into slits popped out again with a "poof."

So it turns out they weren't just saying "Give Uncle a smile" in a friendly way...

Instead, it's gathering strength!

Those two protruding green, glowing organs weren't eyes, but rather like snail tentacles.

The distance is too close.

Ivan only had time to take two steps back before the tentacle stung his face.

The seemingly harmless glutinous rice ball fell off, suddenly contracted, and bounced "duang~" onto Ivan's forehead.

"Don't pull me!" [Raven] waved his hand.

A flash of dark light.

The dumpling that had fallen from the sky and pounced on Ivan was neatly cut in two.

But there was no death announcement as expected.

pat, pat.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone.

The two pieces of the body landed on the deck one after the other, but there was no bodily fluid or other discharge from the cuts.

Instead, after a violent wriggling, they each grew new heads and tentacles, turning into two slightly smaller "daifuku" (a type of mythical creature), which stretched their bodies again and shot up, heading straight for Ivan and Renyi's faces.

It's gotten smaller, but it's twice as fast!

"Regeneration through fission?"

Raven raised an eyebrow and nimbly spun around, sending the two little creatures flying.

This is just the beginning.

The tranquil "green starry sky" overhead instantly turned into a disaster scene.

It's unclear whether they tested the waters and found out the result, or whether their actions were too obvious and attracted their attention.

Thousands upon thousands of fluorescent jellyfish floated like noodles—

"Pfft!"

"Plop! Plop!"

It still makes that cute, rubber ducky-like squeal.

But their words, one after another, were crammed together... making one's scalp tingle.

What's even more humiliating is...

Once they landed, they lost all their plump and adorable appearance while hanging, and instead of rushing to attack, they moved like leeches in the mountains—

Its body flattens out, stretches, and wriggles alternately from head to tail, then...

Arch your body, gather your strength, and jump!

"Ugly monster!"

Ivan, like a naive young man whose feelings had been deceived, swung his "Heartfelt Thoughts" and swept away a pile of "Dafu" (a type of steamed bun).

Smack—

The flattened jellyfish made an extremely unsettling thud, and the squeezed-out mucus fell onto the smooth deck, emitting a puff of white smoke.

"A strong acid, toxic, it will split apart when stimulated!"

Klaus felt a chill run down his spine.

But now, faced with the molluscs crawling all over the ground, he dared not indulge in his fastidiousness. He swung Newton around like a windmill, not daring to let these things get close.

"Damn it!"

Nathan tried to shoot one of them with his flintlock pistol, but the lead bullets hit them like rats stuck in a jar of butter.

Not only were they completely useless, but the lead bullets were even quickly dissolved by their bodily fluids.

Sita and Aurora were wielding their weapons in a dense, impenetrable barrage, but there were simply too many of them, covering the entire ship's sides.

The more you fight, the more there are; you kill them but don't get any evolution points?

Continuing to fight will not yield any benefits and will only waste energy; it's a losing proposition.

"Get inside the cabin, everyone!"

He made a swift and decisive move, his left hand slicing across the blade.

The raven transformed into a soft sword, sweeping a vacuum across the deck.

Nathan provided cover, while Ivan covered the rear.

Five people rushed into the observation cabin of the [Deep Sea Shadow] and slammed the hatch shut.

overhead.

The crackling and popping sounds were so dense, it was like tons of naughty kids bouncing balls on your car hood.

In fact...

The group of people did indeed see, through the transparent cabin wall, the "cave daifuku" that was still falling down flatten them into pancakes and then slide down.

Those big, watery eyes now look incredibly evil.

Ivan wiped his forehead where he had been stung.

"Damn it, you tricked my feelings..."

Fortunately, the [Deep Sea Shadow] has the [Mimetic Buffer Layer] feature 3:

[Acid resistant. Exhibits extremely high resistance to acid corrosion.]

The acidity of these suspended jellyfish is so great that it can't even give the current "Deep Sea Shadow" a deep exfoliation. They also don't have sharp teeth or claws, so there's nothing that can be done about them for the time being.

It took about half an hour of fiddling around.

The green creatures outside finally quieted down. They slowly pulled themselves off the boat, and somehow managed to retract one by one into the top of the cave.

The cave below transformed back into its tranquil and beautiful green starry sky.

"Just to be on the safe side, it's best not to go out."

There are unknown dangers outside, as well as the [Nightmare Crystal] that can cause hallucinations.

"Aurora will purify itself every two hours, taking turns to rest. Meeting adjourned."

At this time,

The captain's word is never open to negotiation.

Klaus was the first to respond—

He feels polluted just by looking at the deck now.

Ivan, yawning, swayed as he walked toward the cabin.

The observation cabin fell silent, with only the faint purple glow of the control wheel and the lush green Nightmare Crystals outside creating a striking contrast.

Arbitrarily pick up Xiao Jiu and place it on Wilson's head.

Xiao Jiu turned its head and started fiddling with the blue-eyed creature beside it, so Renyi had no choice but to flick it on the head:

"Don't touch it... and don't eat its flowerpot!"

"...I just want to play with everyone for a while!" Little Nine said, waving its tentacles with dissatisfaction. This guy is really tough!

Unfortunately, Renyi couldn't understand Xiaojiu's mutterings.

He sat down with his long legs crossed, staring blankly at the 'starry sky' above.

Regardless of the swarm of [mutated corpse mosquitoes],

It was the same swarm of jellyfish as before; although they were unharmed, they served as a reminder to him.

【Deep Sea Shadow】is incredibly reliable in both functionality and defense, but its attack methods are still too monotonous...

The existing lethal weapons are all designed for small or medium-sized monsters.

When faced with an overwhelming horde of tiny monsters whose senses are dulled, you can't always rely on shortcuts.

If you're poor, you have to play tactics.

Rich...

If you're rich, then you'll have firepower to cover you!

Without a doubt, Renyi is now a wealthy pragmatist.

He picked up the [Desert Corona Stone] that had been placed next to the cradle.

Ever since this thing fell into his hands...

Although it has many functions, from lighting to grilling meat to dealing single-target damage, it can only be said that it has always been doing odd jobs.

...As a precious material dropped by a Lv7 lord, it's a bit of a waste.

The light screen of the module unfolded in my mind.

【Bio-photonics module Lv2】

When you obtain the Corona Stone, this module will indicate that it can evolve.

However, since they were on land at the time and there was no urgency, and the exorbitant evolution points required for evolution were carelessly forgotten.

[Evolutionary Path: Bio-Photonic Module (LV2) > Heart of the Sun (MAX)]

[Evolutionary Requirements:]

【1. Desert Corona Stone (1/1)】

【2. Fire Crystal (31/20)】

【3. Evolution Points (21584/10000)】
