Chapter 1307: Chapter 1307 Fire Beauty Sea Anemone
At this time, Ye You had already gained a certain prestige within the Mermaid Tribe. Zhuo Chen had also heard of Ye You’s great deeds in exterminating invaders and protecting the Mermaid Tribe. Although he knew Ye You was not a member of the Mermaid Tribe, since Ye You had done so much for them, Zhuo Chen was very grateful to him and was willing to become his friend.
Two months later, after many battles, the glory on Ye You’s body shone more brilliantly.
He had extraordinarily powerful magic power and possessed exceptional wisdom and talent. Under his leadership, the Mermaid Tribe won more often than they lost, eventually keeping fierce and terrifying creatures like the Devilfish and Hornet jellyfish at bay, preventing them from easily causing trouble again. Ye You also became the most revered warrior of the Mermaid Tribe.
The Sea King also held Ye You in high regard. After the war temporarily came to a halt, he made a request of Ye You.
It turned out that the Sea King was already seriously ill. A few months ago, during a war with the Hornet jellyfish, the Sea King personally entered the fray and was stung by a leader of the Hornet jellyfish. Though the culprit was slain, the Sea King suffered severe injuries, and his health was declining.
A nearly thousand-year-old elderly mermaid told them that only by taking the legendary Fire Beauty Sea Anemone, said to have the power to bring the dead back to life, could the Sea King be healed.
The Fire Beauty Sea Anemone is a marine creature that lives fixed to the rocks, extremely rare, and is only found at the bottom of the Deep Trench Evil Spirit in the No Delusion Deep Sea.
This almost motionless creature has a temperament that can be described with an old saying: "If people don’t offend me, I won’t offend them; if people offend me, I will retaliate against them."
In a normal state, the Fire Beauty Sea Anemone quietly fixes itself to the sea rocks, its long tentacles swaying with the ocean currents like graceful flowers swaying in the wind, beautiful and serene.
However, if they are attacked, they immediately become extremely violent, their short tentacles can instantly transform into long whips, tightly binding any creature that attacks them.
In the end, most of the creatures that attack them become fertilizer for their growth.
This creature, both gentle and terrifying, is red in color, hence named "Fire Beauty." The red color is a magical medicine, and whether for illness or injury, taking it results in rapid recovery.
However, once the red tentacles are severed, the medicine quickly dissipates in the seawater, so it must be consumed quickly.
Yet, the Sea King’s body no longer allowed him to travel to the Deep Trench Evil Spirit; someone else had to retrieve it for him to consume.
Previously, the Sea King had dispatched a small team of ten Mermaid tribe warriors to the Deep Trench Evil Spirit to collect the Fire Beauty Sea Anemone. The Deep Trench Evil Spirit was inherently dangerous, and collecting the Fire Beauty Sea Anemone was exceedingly difficult. A moment of carelessness could result in death.
Ultimately, only two of the ten-member team returned, bringing back two tentacles of the Fire Beauty Sea Anemone.
Unfortunately, despite their efforts to rush back, by the time the tentacles were presented to the Sea King, the red color had mostly faded, leaving only a faint pink trace, and the treatment’s effect was naturally unsatisfactory.
The Sea King did not want to sacrifice any more of the Mermaid tribe warriors for his sake and had to abandon the idea.
Now, seeing Ye You’s miraculous skills seemed to bring hope to the Sea King once more. He summoned Ye You, requesting him to go to the Deep Trench Evil Spirit to collect the Fire Beauty Sea Anemone and promised a substantial reward.
Ye You intentionally kept himself busy. Whenever he had free time, he would miss Qin Sisi, with longing gnawing at him like a worm, often leaving him in unbearable pain.
After temporary truces with the Devilfish, Hornet jellyfish, and other tribes, he found himself with nothing to do, and considering the kindness the Sea King had shown him, he readily agreed to the Sea King’s request.
The Sea King let him choose any companions he wished. Ye You didn’t dare to be too bold, and since he was unfamiliar with the No Delusion Deep Sea’s terrain and environment, it was better to bring more companions.
Thus, he chose four people from the Mermaid tribe warriors, including Zhuo Chen, with the other three also being top warriors of the Mermaid Tribe.
Once the group was prepared, they began their journey towards the Deep Trench Evil Spirit.
What Ye You hadn’t expected was to encounter Qin Sisi being attacked by a Devilfish on the way.
When he saw Qin Sisi’s weak body sinking to the seabed, his heart was as if plunged into icy snow, chilled to the bone, taking a long time to recover.
Qin Sisi, hearing Ye You’s account, couldn’t help but feel proud of him. Her Ye You was dazzling no matter where he was.
Then, she gently kissed him on the cheek and began to recount her own experiences during this time.
Compared to Ye You, Qin Sisi’s experiences were rather simple and boring. However, when she mentioned she had been practicing forging skills, Ye You’s eyes lit up, and he asked, "What achievements? Show me."
Due to her limited magic power, Qin Sisi hadn’t crafted anything too complex these days, but had been focusing on forging short swords with excellent materials.
Upon Zhuo Chen’s request, she brought out several short swords she had forged over the past two months.
Ye You inspected them and was very satisfied with Qin Sisi’s craftsmanship. He kept four of them, returned the rest to Qin Sisi, and then gave a short sword to each of his four companions heading to the Deep Trench Evil Spirit.
In their upcoming dangerous journey to the Deep Trench Evil Spirit, it was essential to have weapons for self-defense. The whole team’s combat effectiveness rose to a new level.
Just like Xue Mo, those four Mermaid tribe warriors had never seen weapons before. Holding them in their hands with excitement and thrill, they admired and appreciated Ye You even more.
After several days of trekking, the group finally reached the edge of the Deep Trench Evil Spirit.
The Deep Trench Evil Spirit was a huge trench, reaching nearly ten thousand meters in depth from the seabed at their feet.
Within this dark and perilous trench lived many strange and magical animals and plants, some of which would actively attack humans, so those with weaker magic power did not dare to venture here.
Ye You arranged for six people to form a circle, facing outwards, so they could see in all directions, quickly spotting any nearby dangers and responding in time.
Following Ye You’s advice, the six of them jumped into the Deep Trench Evil Spirit and began to sink slowly amidst the surging seawater.
It was indeed an almost isolated place, filled with mysterious life forms. Many of the plants and creatures here, Qin Sisi had never seen before, unable to even name them; she felt each leaf, each swimming fish was brilliantly colored, like a painting.
After descending for a while, they began to encounter attacks. First were some long seaweeds that waved aggressively in the water, and if any other creatures came close, the long seaweeds would immediately turn into ropes, grabbing any organisms that passed by.
