Chapter 1047: Chapter 583: Bay 5
The same technique wouldn’t work on Lance.
It might also be because after the previous explosion, its power hasn’t fully recovered yet.
So even without Bless refreshing, he managed to withstand it relying on his physique.
But Lance also let go of the tentacle, reached out and pulled out a rusty hooked spear, pinning the monster in place.
"Huff, huff, huff..."
Lance unconsciously backed up a few steps, gasped heavily, and clutched his chest, waiting several seconds before appearing to have recovered.
Then he looked down at his hand and the arm that had been touched by the tentacle, which were a bloody mess.
What the hell is this ridiculous thing?
His gaze revealed a nearly transparent gelatinous mass, with part of its tentacles still in the water. If it weren’t for the glow in this dim place, it would look integrated with the seawater.
Lance grabbed the hooked spear and pulled it over, but didn’t expect it to be even more fragile than imagined, slicing open directly.
The creature turned out to be a jellyfish, large in size, its umbrella-like body bigger than a double umbrella. Its thick head looked as solid as fatty flesh, trembling when kicked.
In the middle was a grape-shaped torso, over a meter and nearly two meters long, covered with densely packed spherical balls.
The outer edge of the umbrella had six tentacles of similar length, extending two to three meters, but at the ends, they formed a rhombus shape with suction cups filled with tiny barbed objects - these were what scratched him.
Stinging Jellyfish.
It appeared to be another marine creature tamed by the Deep Divers, both its electric shock and those bizarre tentacles revealed danger.
However, while in the water, it indeed felt formidable, but once out of the water, it was rendered useless.
The jellyfish’s body structure made it difficult to support its weight on land, and its body was extremely fragile.
Slowly, the glow of the Stinging Jellyfish dimmed, proving that it was dead.
Casually sacrificed it, even its spiritual essence was pitifully scarce, leaving him speechless.
Yet Lance was troubled, because judging by the glow from the pool, it was obviously not just one or two.
Clearly, the Fishmen set this trap to block him when they realized they couldn’t defeat him.
This situation further indicated a problem...
But the presence of these jellyfish turned out to be a good thing.
Lance didn’t bother wasting time, directly integrated with the Meteorite Armor, and plunged into the water.
Once underwater, his intuition was immediately confirmed: the Deep Divers hadn’t appeared, likely they were affected by the electric shock too.
Perhaps because Lance had never gone underwater before, those Deep Divers mistakenly assumed he would turn back when faced with the jellyfish blockade.
Unexpectedly, the surrounding jellyfish became Lance’s bodyguards, as the Deep Divers dared not approach.
I can withstand electric shocks, can you?
Even if encountering problems, he could rely on Void Shuttle to escape, as this thing’s strengthening of physique allowed resistance to electric shocks.
As long as he didn’t lose consciousness instantly, Lance was confident he could carve a path anywhere.
The pool was deeper and wider than Lance had imagined, and the eerie sense easily put someone under immense pressure.
Suspended in the water, the glowing jellyfish were graceful and beautiful, even making one forget their danger, presenting a dreamlike scene at the pool’s bottom.
Sometimes Lance wondered if the Deep Divers controlled these jellyfish as light bulbs?
But Lance couldn’t afford to linger, hurriedly swam forward.
He needed to breathe, and the armor was voracious...
Suddenly, in a certain pool in the bay, the previously calm surface exploded with a splash, a figure climbed out under the faint glow.
The disturbance startled the Deep Divers in the room.
What was that?
But they quickly felt relieved.
Because their heart got gouged out by a pitch-black claw, stopping its beat.
After a brief slaughter, heavy breathing could be heard, and after a while, as the firelight rose, Lance was seen removing the armor and recovering.
He had previously found Beast Lair filthy and disgusting, but now he felt it was far better than the bay, at least his feet stood on the ground, and even the filthy, foul air was preferable to no air.
People often learn to cherish only after losing.
But there was no time for sentimentality; the earlier event clearly showed his actions finally broke through the control of the Deep Divers, otherwise, he couldn’t have caught a few isolated ones.
Under the firelight, Lance surveyed the situation, similar to the countless rooms before, the pool still presented a homogeneous environment.
So that’s it!
He finally understood a key point about the bay’s geography.
Which was that all these pools in the rooms, regardless of size, were connected, ultimately linking to the ocean, explaining why the Deep Divers came and went as they pleased.
Lance truly disliked this nested environment, it felt as if he hadn’t yet escaped the dungeon after all.
He’d rather face countless enemies on the surface than roam these strange dungeons, the oppressive and frustrated emotions turned into pressure, nearly consuming his reason.
But quickly cleared by Lance, who had come too far today to retreat.
Sure enough, after traversing the building complex, he was closer to the true core location of the bay.
