From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword
Chapter 575 - 362: Wugu Blue Cave_2

She began to recall and slowly told the story: "Wugu Blue Cave is a vast underwater cave system in the Tidal Sea, located over seven hundred kilometers north of our territory.

"From a bird's-eye view in the sky, that place is a huge blue circular hole, where the color in the center of the round hole becomes deeper and eventually turns black like ink.

"Legend has it that the seawater in Wugu Blue Cave is toxic; if a whale falls into it, its flesh will be corroded away, leaving only bones that float up, and the bones will turn black.

"This is also the origin of the name Wugu Blue Cave. In short, that place is really terrifying.

"About a dozen years ago, Black Scale Demons began to appear near Wugu Blue Cave.

"We once had a conflict with the Black Scale Demons, and once when I was chasing one, I ventured into the Wugu Blue Cave area and saw many skeletons of creatures.

"All those skeletons were black, like a massive ocean graveyard.

"Ordinary sea creatures almost never survive if they step into Wugu Blue Cave.

"But the Black Scale Demons are very special; these creatures from the Abyss can freely enter and leave Wugu Blue Cave without having their flesh corroded by the seawater.

"It might be that Black Scale Demons simply do not have flesh, or perhaps they are born in environments filled with toxins.

"Since then, our tribe has strictly forbidden tribesmen from approaching Wugu Blue Cave, only patrolling the sea area a hundred kilometers away, to prevent Black Scale Demons from coming out from the Wugu Blue Cave and causing trouble."

Upon hearing her story, Lu Heng turned to make eye contact with Su Muyu, both realizing the danger of this place.

"Are there many Black Scale Demons around Wugu Blue Cave?"

Sona took over the conversation: "There are many, but these Black Scale Demons seem to be concentrated inside Wugu Blue Cave and rarely venture out. Because of this, we have maintained a relatively balanced state with the Black Scale Demons.

"We do not provoke the Black Scale Demons, and the Black Scale Demons gather around Wugu Blue Cave, rarely stepping out of that range.

"The last time the Black Scale Demons appeared, it was likely because the Shadow Demon was summoned by the Abyss, actively driving them out."

The last time at Moon Mud Beach, there was a surprise attack by Black Scale Demons.

Normally, Black Scale Demons would not approach the coastline; it must have been driven by an Abyss Summoner.

Afterwards, Lu Heng asked many questions about Wugu Blue Cave. After gathering enough information, he returned to their residence to discuss with the team again.

"I just asked the Sea Demon Clan about Wugu Blue Cave; it is far more dangerous than we thought. So I want to hear everyone's opinions on whether to raid the Black Scale Demon territory." Lu Heng brought up the topic for everyone to discuss.

All the team members shared their views, most wanting to go and see the situation.

Xie Shi'en, being rather cautious and calm, summarized the information and said: "Since it's so dangerous, we can consider launching a raid on the Black Scale Demon territory closer to the time we need to return.

"If it is indeed perilous, we can hold out until the return time and teleport away, thus increasing our safety factor.

"Moreover, before taking action, we can first conduct reconnaissance to assess the environment there."

Liu Haiyang nodded in agreement: "Right, even if we don't launch an attack in the end, we can still go and take a look to understand the situation."

After discussion, a consensus was reached.

They would certainly go to Wugu Blue Cave, but whether to risk going in would depend on the situation at the time.

In any case, going for a look would not be a loss.

With the decision made, everyone began to prepare separately.

Liu Haiyang took out a bag of Magic Pearls, tossed it in his hand, and said: "I exchanged these with the Sea Demon using Crystal Cores; it's their currency. I'm planning to buy some things from their market.

"Many weapons and equipment of the Sea Demon Clan are tailored for the ocean, and they are quite good."

The Sea Demon Clan is a highly developed civilization, so the underwater tools, weapons, and equipment they make can have unique effects in the ocean.

Liu Haiyang has loved being in the water since young and is a staunch supporter of Ocean system enhancements.

So he took some Crystal Cores and traded them with the Sea Demon for Magic Pearls.

Lin Zeyu curiously took some to examine: "Is this the currency of the Sea Demon Clan?"

Liu Haiyang nodded: "Yes, the Sea Demon Clan has raised many pearl oysters in their territory to specifically produce these Magic Pearls.

"This is their currency, and when necessary, the Sea Demon Clan will eat the Magic Pearls to replenish their energy.

"They say chewing Magic Pearls and applying them to wounds can also have a healing effect."

Lu Heng had briefed everyone on the currency of the Sea Demon Clan before teleporting over.

So everyone present knew that the Sea Demon Clan's currency was Magic Pearls, although they hadn't used these items before.

Upon teleporting over, they immediately met High Priestess Sona. After conversing, they went ashore to the Black Iron Dwarf Kingdom and didn't stop over long in the Sea Demon Clan territory.

Thus, they had not encountered these Magic Pearls before.

Now that the tasks of the Abyss Battlefield were complete, there was relatively free time left.

Liu Haiyang and the others thought of bringing some specialties back from the Sea Demon World and naturally had to exchange their currency to buy items.

Lin Zeyu was particularly interested in commerce and asked: "What's the purchasing power of these Magic Pearls? How much can this bag buy?"

Liu Haiyang had only exchanged a bag of Magic Pearls with the Sea Demon and hadn't gone shopping yet, so he was not sure about the purchasing power and answered: "I don't know, I'm planning to check it out at the market, would you like to join me?"

"Sure, let's go together." Lin Zeyu was instantly interested and joined Liu Haiyang and the others on their shopping trip to the Sea Demon Clan market.

Women have no resistance to shopping, and Su Muyu was eager too, tugging on Lu Heng's arm and asking: "Should we go and take a look too?"

Since they were already in the Sea Demon World, observing their culture and visiting the market was essential.

Previously, there was no time because of tasks that needed completion.

Now that they were free, it was indeed worth a look.

Lu Heng agreed: "Okay."

However, Lu Heng really didn't want to soak in seawater anymore, so he called out to Jiang Shaoran, who was already at the door, "Give us a Magic Bubble."

Jiang Shaoran turned back and agreed: "Okay, but a Magic Bubble only lasts ten minutes... never mind, I'll go with the leader."

She then cast a Magic Bubble on Lu Heng and Su Muyu.

This kind of Magic Bubble can create an air pocket underwater, enveloping terrestrial creatures within it.

As long as the bubble remains unbroken, it can isolate seawater.

Jiang Shaoran's Third Transition Class is Wave Summoner, and creating such Magic Bubbles is just one application of her Class Ability.
