Chapter 298: Chapter 296 Invisible Algae 1
Translator: 549690339
On the outskirts of Void Nether Island.
Lu Xuan stood straight on a huge rock, staring down at the water below. Song Yu and two monks from the Song Family stood behind him, looking anxious.
A Void Nether Spirit Fish, nearly half a foot long, suddenly shot out of the water, crashing into a large reef ahead.
Lu Xuan’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and a mighty spiritual pressure was formed, directly blocking the self-destructive Void Nether Spirit Fish.
With a thought, the spirit fish slowly floated in front of him, uneasily waving its tail in mid-air.
The fish’s body glowed with a crystalline light, looking extremely beautiful. Without saying a word, a Evil-Exorcising Talisman quietly appeared in Lu Xuan’s hand. A holy and pure white light shot from the charm, landing on the spiritual fish he was controlling.
Even after the white light disappeared, there was still no abnormal reaction from the spirit fish.
The Immaculate Jade pendant hanging around his neck also showed no signs of detecting any Demon Envoy.
Firstly, we can rule out the cause being a Demon Envoy.”
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
Next, his spiritual sense slowly seeped into the spiritual fish’s body, meticulously exploring every piece of flesh and organ.
Still, he found nothing.
Get some of the seaweed used to feed the spiritual fish.”
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.
Lu Xuan said to the two monks of the Song Family who specialized in raising Void Nether Spirit Fish behind him.
When in doubt, feed things. This was his long-lasting special skill.
He snatched a bunch of light blue seaweed from the tan-skinned monk’s hand and half-forced it into the spiritual fish’s mouth.
His mind focused on the surface of the Void Nether Spirit Fish, and suddenly, a piece of information flashed through his mind.
‘Void Nether Spirit Fish, Tier-2 Demonic Beast, extremely fast, the flesh is very delicious, contains rich spiritual power, beloved by cultivators.” “As it’s being infested with Invisible Algae, the spirit fish is in a state of aggression.”
“So there really was something hiding! But what is this Invisible Algae?”
Lu Xuan’s face brightened, then turned into confusion.
He had previously searched the Void Nether Spirit Fish in detail but hadn’t seen anything that might be related to the Invisible Algae.
“So there’s only one possibility: This so-called Invisible Algae has extremely strong stealth capabilities, even able to evade the scrutiny of Foundation Establishment First-term Stage Cultivators.”
Lu Xuan didn’t doubt the information that came to his mind and was even more sure that the Invisible Algae existed because he couldn’t find it.
“So.howcanlfind it?”
He thought about this before placing the Void Nether Spirit Fish back in the water. However, he suddenly stopped midway.
“If I can’t find it on land in such a short time, the difficulty of finding it in water, back in the familiar environment of the algae, will only be higher.” A glimmer of understanding flashed through Lu Xuan’s mind.
“At the moment, I should place the Invisible Algae in an unfamiliar environment and try to find it by altering its survival environment.” Upon thinking this, Lu Xuan withdrew the spiritual energy he had initially extended, keeping the Void Nether Spirit fish suspended in the air. Underneath the blistering sun, the fish felt incredibly uncomfortable.
I m to use this spiritual fish for an experiment.”
Lu Xuan commanded directly without allowing any objections.
As soon as his words fell, a red long sword appeared in his hand. The sword trembled slightly, the red patterns on the blade quietly changed, and a cluster of hot flames flew out from both sides of the Red Flame Sword.
Under Lu Xuan’s control, the red flames drifted beneath the Void Nether Spirit
Fish, forming an array and continuously grilling the fish’s abdomen.
Hiding inside this spirit fish, are you ready to die with it?”
Due to the continuous baking of the hot flames, a burnt smell began to emanate from the fish’s abdomen, and its crystal-clear body had turned a charred black. At this moment, Lu Xuan saw a layer of transparent liquid suddenly seeping out from the fish’s body. The liquid kept flowing, finally merging into a droplet of water.
The water droplet was transparent, almost impossible to notice if not on land. “Finally found you.”
Lu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, havingsolved a major problem. He then released a thread of Qingmu Origin Energy from his fingertip.
Since Invisible Algae was categorized as a spirit plant, it could be fed and nurtured using Qingmu Origin Energy, which was a product of Green Xuan Deer s life and contained the purest natural energy.
Sure enough, the minute Qingmu Origin Energy was absorbed by the transparent water droplet.
His mind focused on the droplet, and a new piece of information emerged in his mind.
“Invisible Algae, Second-Level Spirit Plant, grows in the deep sea, is formless and colorless with exceptional stealth abilities, it parasitizes on ocean fish and sea beasts, gradually merging with them, and upon maturation can be used to refine stealthy magic artifacts and charms.”
“It’s hard for it to survive in high temperatures.”
When I infested your body and merged with you, you didn’t even feel it.”
“So it’s such a unique spirit plant.”
Lu Xuan increased the intensity of the fiery flames in his hand, escalating to scorching temperatures. The transparent water droplet began to change continuously, reducing in size.
In the end, only a transparent film remained, freely moving in his hand. “Uncle Lu, was it this thing causing the abnormal reaction in the Void Nether Spirit Fish, even forcing it to self-destruct?”
At his side, Song Yu asked. The other two monks also watched with curiosity. “That’s right, this thing is called Invisible Algae, a unique spirit plant. It’s formless and colorless with exceptional stealth abilities, making it extremely difficult to detect when it parasitizes fish.”
Lu Xuan nodded and explained.
“So that’s how it is, no wonder we couldn’t find it, even after trying everything. In the water, it’s just a water droplet, and once it merges with a fish, it’s hard to distinguish.”
Even if the spirit fish perceives something wrong with its body and tries to avoid the risk in various ways, it’s still unable to find a solution.” “This time we are lucky to have Uncle Lu find the root of the anomaly.” He took a deep breath and said with lingering fear.
If anything were to happen to these Void Nether Spirit Fish resulting in massive losses, then Song Yu would lose all value within the Sky Sword Sect.
“However, why would this peculiar spirit plant be in the water where we farm the Void Nether Spirit Fish? We never found its traces before.”
A tan-skinned monk standing behind asked in confusion.
Lu Xuan held the transparent film continuously moving in his hands, his eyes gleaming with uncertainty.
“This Invisible Algae generally grows in the deep sea, and the area where we farm these spirit fish is close to shore, so what drew these spiritplants here, traveling such a significant distance?”
Lu Xuan wondered.
“Even if some sea beasts did bring Invisible Algae seeds or young plants here, it wouldn’t have led to a large number of spirit fish displaying abnormal behavior in such a short period.”
“So, there’s only one likely possibility. Someone purposely scattered a large number of Invisible Algae seeds or young plants in this area.”
On the looks of it, the main aim is to eliminate a large number of Void Nether Spirit Fish and use the Invisible Algae to take over the area, altering the spirit fish’s environment and driving them away.”
‘Of course, we can’t rule out the possibility of someone deliberately causing the Song Family to suffer massive losses.”
