Mu Ningxue was able to dive quicker. She soon reached the twilight zone of the ocean where the water was relatively muddy. Following Lingling's instruction, she soon located Bobby.

Her vision underwater was very limited. Mu Ningxue barely saw a human figure around five hundred meters away. It was most likely the Water Mage, Bobby.

(Ed. Note: Limited?! Five Hundred meters? At that depth? You can't see that far in crystal water at the surface! Just roll with it…)

However, when she was moving closer, she discovered a shadowy figure. It had a long body, fully covered in sharp objects like swords. It seemed to be chasing after something rapidly.

The Drowning Curse Maggot was totally invisible in the water. Mu Ningxue could only tell that the Drowning Curse Maggot was being chased by the spiked sea monster judging from the movement of the water!

”Freeze!” Mu Ningxue chanted silently and fired a frostbolt at the Sharp-Sworded Sea Monster.

The temperature of the seawater started to drop, as a thick layer of ice quickly appeared, and surrounded the Sharp-Sworded Sea Monster.

The water turned into ice and hindered the Sharp-Sworded Sea Monster. It was obvious that the sea monster's speed had reduced dramatically.

”Ice Lock!”

Mu Ningxue's legs moved in a circular motion to keep her still in the water. She opened her arms and quickly summoned long ice chains around herself.

She pointed her finger at the Sharp-Sworded Sea Monster. The ice chains rapidly entangled it, as if it was being tied down in layers of heavy chains. The sea monster was having difficulty swimming!

”I'll finish it off, how dare it try to kill our bait!” Mo Fan finally arrived.

Seeing that Mu Ningxue had restrained the Sharp-Sworded Sea Monster, Mo Fan drew the Star Pattern of the Space Element.

A rhomboid appeared around the Sharp-Sworded Sea Monster. The water inside it suddenly vanished.

”Space Rhythm!”

The space started compressing, squeezing the Sharp-Sworded Sea Monster that was trapped within it. The swords poking out from its skin were snapped in half.

With a deep thud, the Sharp-Sworded Sea Monster died in an explosion as soon as its body reached its limit. Thick, fresh blood spread through the muddy seawater.

”Describe the appearance of the sea monster to me,” Lingling's voice came from the communication device.

”This device is pretty good, we can stay in contact underwater!” Mo Fan used the Space Element to keep himself from the water and said, ”It's a long fish with spikes like swords all over its body. It wasn't very strong, either...”

”It's the Sword Quills Sea Monster,” Mu Ningxue told Lingling, rolling her eyes at Mo Fan after hearing his description.

Why couldn't he work harder to equip himself with useful knowledge? These Sword Quills Sea Monsters were a very common species. Mu Ningxue immediately had a worried look. She should have stopped Mo Fan from killing the creature.

”Don't the Sword Quills Sea Monsters usually stay in their colonies? Don't tell me you've made a mess out of it?” Lingling said.

”A mess?” Mo Fan glanced at the blood that was diluting slowly in the seawater and chuckled, ”It wasn't too bad, wait, did you just say they usually stay in colonies...”

”Err, guys, please take a look around you,” Bobby said in a trembling voice.

The muddy water started to stir up as similar shadowy figures appeared in their surroundings. There were only a few circling the area hesitantly, but not long after, more shadowy figures suddenly showed up! There was soon a whole school of them!

”You idiot, the entire colony is going to gather once they pick up the scent of their kind. Come back to the boat, now!” Lingling yelled into the communication device.

Mo Fan had paid the price for not studying hard enough.

He didn't dare argue with Lingling. He was about to tell Mu Ningxue and Bobby to leave when he realized the two were already heading for the surface.

The two were much better swimmers than Mo Fan. He quickly spread his limbs and dug his way up!

”Hey, wait for me, help me out!”

Mo Fan would be unruffled if he was still on land. However, his fighting capacity significantly weakened underwater. He immediately panicked when he saw the Sword Quills Sea Monsters rapidly gathering around him.

”Back off!” Mo Fan used his thoughts to keep the creatures away by pushing the water around him.

Five Sword Quills Sea Monsters that were approaching Mo Fan from different directions were knocked flying instantly, colliding into others that were gradually getting closer to him.

However, the number of Sword Quills Sea Monsters was quite shocking, and they were extremely quick when moving around in the water. Mo Fan only saw countless shadowy figures stabbing at him like swords. He had nowhere to run to.

The seawater around him was stirred up greatly. Mo Fan almost lost his balance. The only Element that would work effectively underwater was his Lightning. Mo Fan unleashed the lightning saved up in his body to paralyze the Sword Quills Sea Monster trying to get closer to him.

The Lightning was conducted imperiously through the water. Mo Fan gradually expanded the electric field of the Lightning Strike to a Lightning Disaster!

The Lightning Disaster was like a giant, glowing web in the water, and the Sword Quills Sea Monsters immediately ended up as fish caught in a net. They were struggling fiercely as their bodies were scorched by the lightning!
