Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 453
Chapter 453: The Retreating Vines
Listen recalled and said once again, “There were many shellfish feys at that time. Those two Poisonous Water Sea Eels scampered into the large shellfish feys to hide their forms. Thus, when I sent people to capture them, it wasn’t much effort at all.”
When Lin Yuan heard Listen’s words, he could determine that the life in this sea had been cut off, and it had happened within these three months.
Lin Yuan had always felt that Red Thorn’s Eyes of Relinquish consumed too much. At first, he thought it was the normal consumption of spreading its sea of flowers in the sea. After all, he had never commanded Red Thorn to launch an attack in the sea before.
After sensing the state of the bottom of the sea through the sea of flowers, Lin Yuan suddenly discovered that the vine ramets were rooted at the bottom of the sea. Therefore, only those very close to the shore could draw energy from the bottom of the sea.
The further they were away from the shore, the less energy the vine ramets could absorb in the sea.
The energy at the bottom of the sea seemed to have been exploited thousands of kilometers away from the shore without a trace left, causing the entire sea bottom to become unusually barren.
Lin Yuan pondered while letting Red Thorn continue using its Eyes of Relinquish release spores in this sea. Its Eyes of Relinquish had gradually been used.
But one part of its sea of flowers had already exceeded the range of the coastal sea of the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce. Lin Yuan’s perception became extremely poor for this distant sea range.
However, he could sense Red Thorn’s other vine ramets had absorbed some faint flesh energy in other seas. That faint flesh energy feedback could have been that the vine ramets captured a fish fey.
This meant that there were lives in the other seas, and there was no life just in the sea where the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce was located.
The Zheng family had suddenly started to take action against the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce three months ago.
The Zheng family, one of the three major affluent families in Indigo Azure City, would naturally investigate this coastal sea since they valued it so much.
Therefore, it was impossible for the Zheng family’s third lineage not to know that there were no more abundant shellfish feys in the coastal sea of the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce.
Since the Zheng family was so imperative to get this coastal sea that was completely barren and had no more shellfish feys, it meant that the third lineage must have a grasp of the secret of why it had become so barren.
Before Lin Yuan could think about it, he suddenly sensed a dramatic change of Red Thorn’s sea of flowers at the distant sea, seemingly twined by a large number of things in a flash.
It was unknown what these things were. But, the moment the sea of flowers made of vine ramets were twined, Lin Yuan could sense a large amount of flesh energy being plundered by those things. He was a little horrified at the speed of the plundering of vitality.
Lin Yuan looked at Liu Jie, who was at his side and nodded at him with a very grim expression. Liu Jie commanded the Flesh-Mincing Blade Insects lurking in the sand, and they emerged one after another.
Under Liu Jie’s commands, these Flesh-Mincing Blade Insects seemed to be heading home, happily lining up to walk into Red Thorn’s Mouth of Relinquish. They were like a group of sows lined up to jump into the gutter, neat and orderly.
Red Thorn welcomed it, and its Tongue of Relinquish secreted a lot of acids to digest the flesh of the alien insects to help its Mouth of Relinquish digest these Flesh-Mincing Blade Insects before quickly extracting energy from their flesh.
Just like this, as the eyelids of Zhou Luo and Listen jumped wildly, Lin Yuan prompted the sea of flowers to counterattack through the energy obtained from digesting the Flesh-Mincing Blade Insects.
However, the more it counterattacked, the grimmer Lin Yuan’s eyes became. Red Thorn’s sea of flowers that had always been unbeatable was clearly not a match. Lin Yuan could feel that the things twining with Red Thorn were increasing.
However, he found that these things that were fighting with Red Thorn didn’t seem to move or were very clumsy.
Red Thorn kept receiving attacks, and the flesh energy in the sea of flowers was also absorbed by those things more quickly.
The energy absorption of the sea of flowers from this unknown lifeform had affected Red Thorn’s ortets connected to the child ramets.
Lin Yuan hurriedly let Red Thorn withdraw the remaining energy in the sea of flowers. Immediately afterward, he closed his eyes and pondered.
Through the perception of the sea of flowers at the bottom of the sea, there seemed to be countless thorns pierced into each vine ramets in the previous struggle.
Through these thorns, the flesh energy in the vines was rapidly and heavily plundered, and the counterattack of the vines didn’t seem to have the slightest use. Lin Yuan didn’t feel the vines absorb any flesh energy during the counterattack.
Lin Yuan thought, Could there be a large group of unknown lifeforms far from the shore, causing this coastal sea to become so barren?
But if this is the case, since this coastal sea has been so barren, why don’t those unknown lifeforms migrate but remain in the depths of this coastal sea?
Lin Yuan could be sure that this group of unknown lifeforms’ thorn attack was not considered strong through the fight just now. What was really powerful was the speed at which they devoured energy.
The level of this thorn attack shouldn’t be able to beat the Tail-Cutting Shadow Sharks, and even the spines of the Beak-Billed Spiny Fish that fed on the shellfish feys could not be pierced.
Looking at the expression on Lin Yuan’s face, Liu Jie asked with some concern, “Lin Yuan, did you discover something bad?”
Lin Yuan opened his eyes and first shook his head, then nodded his head again. The discovery through the sea of flowers at the bottom of the sea could not be called a bad discovery.
This was because those things that had devoured the energy from the vines should have nothing to do with the appearance of the flesh of high-class water world dimensional lifeforms on the shore.
However, the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s coastal sea destruction was definitely not some good news.
Suddenly, Lin Yuan thought of the speed at which those lifeforms plundered energy, the sea bottom becoming barren, and that lifeform’s inability to move. He thought of a possibility.
If this possibility was really as he thought, he could only say that he was really the reincarnation of the God of Fortune. He had really encountered a true blessing this time.
Liu Jie was a little confused by Lin Yuan shaking his head and then nodding his head.
Immediately afterward, Liu Jie heard Lin Yuan say, “Big Brother Liu, let your Hurricane Owlet Moth take me to the sea 3,000 meters away from the shore to have a look.”
The place where Red Thorn’s sea of flowers had been attacked was exactly the location 3,000 meters from the shore. So whether it was a blessing or danger, Lin Yuan felt that he needed to go down to the sea to have a look to be sure.
