Chapter 1197: Chapter 1193: Authentic Ocean Assassins

Yun Ran activated the Water Curtain Mirror. Dragon Spirit was in a meeting, sensed the disturbance, and immediately found an excuse to leave.

Then, finding a secluded spot, he set up an anti-peeping array before letting the Water Curtain Mirror reveal itself.

Seeing Yun Ran’s slightly stern face, Dragon Spirit instinctively thought that some other foolish guy had provoked Yun Ran again.

He definitely couldn’t take the blame for the other party, absolutely couldn’t walk into the line of fire, and certainly couldn’t give Yun Ran an opportunity to use this as a pretext.

Dragon Spirit held his breath; anyway, there was no way he was going to speak first!

Yun Ran was completely unaware of Dragon Spirit’s dramatic thoughts, her mind plotting scheme after scheme!

"Help me take a look, do you recognize this ugly thing?"

Hearing Yun Ran’s words, Dragon Spirit was slightly surprised; so it wasn’t about venting anger—he sighed in relief. She startled him!

However, he couldn’t blame her; Yun Ran had a history of this, and he had gained experience from being duped before.

Quickly adjusting his state, Dragon Spirit followed the direction Yun Ran pointed to with his gaze.

The hideous thing in the copper mirror looked extremely familiar.

Dragon Spirit carefully recalled, with his thousands of years of memory, it took a bit of time to pull out a specific memory.

"I remember now, this thing only exists in the depths of the ocean. It’s highly toxic and can turn invisible—a true ocean assassin. Once targeted by them, there’s only death... "

After his explanation, Dragon Spirit immediately asked with a surprised tone, "Where did you find this guy? Be careful, getting caught by it wouldn’t be pleasant!"

He wasn’t worried about Yun Ran being poisoned to death, but the feeling of being poisoned would be difficult to endure.

But Dragon Spirit was more curious about how this creature, supposedly living in the deep sea, ended up in Moonlight City.

Moonlight City isn’t near the sea.

"It really is something from the sea!"

Yun Ran’s tone clearly had a hint of gritting teeth; previously, the Ginsengfruit had been attacked!

If the Ginsengfruit weren’t not made of flesh and blood, it might not have died, but it surely wouldn’t have kept its leg.

Before Dragon Spirit could say anything further, Yun Ran had already shut off the Water Curtain Mirror.

She just wanted to get some definitive information from Dragon Spirit.

Staring at the disappearing Water Curtain Mirror, Dragon Spirit’s face was full of speechlessness.

Damn Yun Ran, she didn’t even say goodbye, not giving a bit of regard to him!

Though he was quite angry inside, there was nothing he could do about Yun Ran now.

He could only open the little notebook of grudges in his heart once more and harshly note down another grievance against Yun Ran.

After closing the Water Curtain Mirror, when Yun Ran looked at the pool again, her eyes carried some caution.

Now, she couldn’t dare to treat this pool as an ordinary pool anymore.

It harbors such creatures that can hide and blend with the pool water, and who knows if the pool water is toxic too.

Subsequently, a shiver ran down Yun Ran’s spine from post-fear, giving rise to a chilly sensation.

Taking a deep breath, Yun Ran looked once more at Er Dan, "You said earlier, you saw several shadows down there, but you only caught one of them?"

Er Dan quickly nodded, now no matter what Yun Ran said, it would answer properly, striving to redeem itself.

"Yes, I only caught one of them!"

"Then go catch the rest and lock them all up!"

Saying this, Yun Ran took out a somewhat simple-looking bottle and handed it to Er Dan.

Er Dan stretched its neck and clamped the bottle without any reluctance.

Compared to facing Yun Ran’s anger, it would rather dive back into the water, even if all its fur got soaked, it didn’t mind.

With a ’plop,’ Er Dan jumped straight into the pool, and the splashes were about to land on Yun Ran.

The Little Princess Puppet quickly picked up an umbrella set beside Yun Ran, shielding all the splashes.

Yun Ran was very pleased with the Little Princess Puppet’s performance.

Seeing the shadow trying to move slowly, the Little Princess Puppet stepped directly on it.

"Master, what should we do with this ugly thing lying on the ground now?"

When refining those puppets, Yun Ran had instinctively added a lot of thunder element materials.

This caused the Little Princess Puppet, even though it hadn’t undergone a re-tempering by heavenly thunder, to naturally suppress things related to forbidden techniques.

"Lock it up first, I’ll examine it properly later to see how it was brought here from the deep sea and how it’s survived."

Especially with the creature being highly toxic, it is excellent research material for Yun Ran.

After diving once more, Er Dan wasn’t searching aimlessly this time.

In a few moves, it caught all the shadows hidden in the water.

Then stuffed them into the bottle Yun Ran had given it.

Standing on the shore, Yun Ran didn’t see Er Dan’s actions under the water.

However, after all the ugly things were locked up, she noticed a different aura.

Originally appearing clear without any dirt, the pool suddenly emitted a sort of unique fishy water odor.

This scent wasn’t unfamiliar to Yun Ran; it was similar to stagnant water.

Er Dan resurfaced, this time without the previous anxiety and embarrassment.

Still holding the bottle Yun Ran had given it in its mouth, it proudly swam back to Yun Ran.

Placing the bottle down, Er Dan said, "Caught them all~"

After releasing its own aura earlier, it marked the shadows with its unique mark.

Even if they became invisible again, Er Dan didn’t rely on sight but scent recognition to find them.

"Alright, you’ve worked hard!"

Even though Er Dan’s face was covered with drooping fur against its head, otherwise, it might blush like a human face.

"No... no need to be that polite, I didn’t help much."

Faced with Er Dan’s shyness, Yun Ran raised an eyebrow, surprised that Er Dan had such a bashful side.

After being put on the ground, the shadow initially thought it had narrowly escaped.

But clearly, it was overthinking; the bottle had its own agenda, especially after absorbing the shadow’s kin.

Unconsciously, it targeted the nearby shadow as something to be absorbed.

The bottle glowed briefly, shook slightly, and in the blink of an eye, the shadow on the ground vanished.
