Chapter 736 - Jellyfish?
He stopped when he was about a hundred meters above the light source.
He was looking at a flickering, umbrella-like object that was releasing a swirling torrent from its center, which then went all the way toward the surface.
“So that’s the culprit. But… whatever is that?”
He already sensed dreadful power coming from it without getting too close, and it wasn’t friendly. In fact, he was almost sure the power was attempting to invade his body at this moment.
He couldn’t make sure whether that thing was alive. It could also be a very deadly monster.
He decided to return to the ship for now instead of recklessly approaching the unknown presence.
“Sir, what is down there?” Erwin saw Angor coming back and quickly asked.
“There is something… strange. But I don’t know what it is yet.”
Angor canceled his illusion and looked at Helen, who looked terrified but was trying her best to remain calm. “Have you heard of this monster before?”
“No-no, sir.” Helen covered her mouth. “Is that a sea monster at all?”
Angor didn’t reply since he wasn’t sure about this. But he was sure that the undead tended to be extremely hostile against all other creatures, which was strange, since the jellyfish seemed to be co-existing with the souls pretty well.
The undead did not possess any intelligence. The only thing they knew was to maim the living ones due to their primal instinct that was tainted by negative energy. There was no way they could learn about complicated relationships such as mutualism.
Or perhaps the jellyfish knows how to control them? he wondered.
Again, he felt his spirit connection being disrupted before he lost the scout puppet.
The puppet did not dive deeper into the water yet, which meant the jellyfish was the true culprit that bothered him.
The creature was almost going to emerge on the surface. Meanwhile, everyone on The Limpet showed terrible symptoms such as nausea and trance. Someone even went out cold on the deck straight away.
Apparently, the “strange frequency” used by the creature was affecting the mortals on the ship.
Angor didn’t feel anything since his spirit was fortified. As long as he didn’t extend a portion of his spirit power like how he did on the puppets, the strange frequency wouldn’t get inside his mind.
When most of the sailors fell, The Limpet slowed down to a halt.
Following a large water splash, the gigantic jellyfish rose from the surface and allowed Angor to look at it directly.
At the same time, he felt a familiar sense from the creature.
