Chapter 644: Scared Sick
"What is this?" Xiao Xue extended her finger and poked the bubble enveloping her. However, her finger went out and retracted, yet the bubble did not break.
Xiao Xue widened her eyes in surprise.
Ting Luo explained to everyone, "This is a defensive bubble unique to our Merfolk Clan. These bubbles can withstand venom and poisonous gases and also have a certain defensive capability. We use them when dealing with enemies that can spit poison. As long as the battle isn’t extremely fierce and the opponent’s strength doesn’t far exceed yours, these bubbles won’t easily pop."
The undersea world is as turbulent as the outside world, with a wide variety of poisonous creatures. Through years of battling, they each have developed ways to defend against each other’s attacks.
Xiao Xue slipped down from Ting Luo’s arms, curious as she poked the unbreakable bubble and asked, "Then how do I walk? Will I float like the fish?"
Ting Luo chuckled and shook her head, "No, you can walk normally!"
Xiao Xue tried walking a few steps and indeed found there was no impact. She even joyfully ran a few steps.
"Great, this way we don’t have to worry about those poisonous flowers and plants for a while. A Luo, you’re amazing!" Han Jing exclaimed sincerely.
Ting Luo blushed slightly with shyness.
"Alright, now we can continue on our way, let’s go!" Han Jing grabbed the frolicking Xiao Xue from around and tossed her onto Youyou’s back, "Youyou, take care of her!"
Youyou earnestly nodded his head.
Han Jing called everyone to continue their journey.
Indeed, as they walked among those bizarre flowers and plants, they didn’t feel any abnormalities. However, those plants seemed to have some sort of intelligence, with some even stretching out leaves or flowers to touch them and retracting only when slightly stuck.
Xiao Xue was left dumbfounded.
After walking for almost an hour, just as Han Jing was about to ask if they should take a break, An Chuxue suddenly shouted, "Everyone be careful!"
Everyone immediately gathered together, staying alert and on guard.
"In the right front, there are a few monsters... about twenty to thirty meters away from us," An Chuxue swallowed her saliva and quickly informed everyone.
As soon as she finished speaking, the supposed monsters had already charged in front of them.
An Chuxue could see slightly further than others but at long distances, she couldn’t achieve the same close-range penetration, so... once those creatures camouflaged, it was very hard for her to spot them.
Just like now, the monsters were already in front of them, and Han Jing and the others were a bit slow to react.
My god, can someone tell them what on earth is this freaky thing?!
Its body resembles a wild boar, yet it has grass-green, dry skin, two protruding, bright red eyes on its head, and mysteriously grows patches of something similar to scales on its body. Surprisingly, it has several weird antennae on its forehead, a tail like a bird’s, and claws with one looking like a chicken’s and two like a duck’s... You can’t even call it foursome; it’s not even eightsome...
What’s most chilling is that there are about five or six monsters that have all come over, each looking slightly different, bizarre combinations making up a ghostly visage, with one looking like a giant python, yet sporting a head with a black and gray cock’s comb...
It made people... want to throw up from fright.
