Chapter 987: Chapter 105: Strange Encounters in the Deep Sea (Part 1)

Dark Pill should have brought Liao over to eat this thing raw; he might have enjoyed it.

That was Yue Jinghua’s first thought upon swallowing the Ghost Mother.

Liao’s favorite Korean dish in his past life was raw baby octopus.

In modern times, Liao often dragged Yue Xiaoqi to eat Korean cuisine.

Octopus specially prepared and dipped in chili sauce, stuffed into the mouth.

Yue Xiaoqi was adamantly against eating it, but Liao vividly described the sensation.

The octopus would stick to the tongue, still alive, twitching incessantly, enjoying the sensation of the wriggling tentacles sliding down the throat, going straight into the esophagus.

However, Yue Xiaoqi was not impressed, having heard that some people died from being choked by octopus tentacles.

Yue Jinghua now, has this kind of feeling.

The Ghost Mother’s body is mostly water, and its tentacles don’t have the elasticity of baby octopus, Yue Jinghua can even feel the soft thorns of the Ghost Mother’s tentacles brushing her tongue.

This sensation caused Yue Jinghua’s whole body to shiver, the Ghost Mother stuck in her throat, unable to move up or down.

Jue Xin, observing from the side, suddenly struck Yue Jinghua’s back, allowing her to swallow the Ghost Mother completely.

"Don’t worry, swallowing this Ghost Mother is very safe. By temporarily merging with the Ghost Mother, you gain the ability to dive ten thousand meters, known to our Sea Demon Clan as ’Sea God’s Protection,’" Jue Xin winked playfully.

Even though Yue Jinghua swallowed the Ghost Mother, it didn’t die.

It would remain in Yue Jinghua’s body for six hours, its Dark Energy temporarily merging with Yue Jinghua’s.

During those six hours, Yue Jinghua would have the Ghost Mother’s special protection.

But once the six hours are over, the Ghost Mother’s Dark Energy would be completely consumed by Yue Jinghua, and she must immediately return to the surface, or she would not withstand the super-high pressure at the sea bottom.

"Immediately dive," seeing Yue Jinghua had already swallowed the Ghost Mother, with a faint Ghost Mother glow emitting from her skin, Jue Xin decisively commanded the Deep Sea Head Hunting Whale to dive.

The Deep Sea Head Hunting Whale could assist in diving approximately five thousand meters, she would need to rely on her own ability for the remaining five thousand meters.

When Yue Jinghua initially entered the water, it felt icy and bone-chilling.

This region where the Nanbei Sea Trench is located is much colder than anywhere else.

But quickly the Ghost Mother’s Dark Energy began to work inside her body, and Yue Jinghua felt a noticeable warmth.

She also noticed changes happening to her body.

Around her body, it seemed like it was enveloped in a layer of enchanting gauze, emitting a purple-red ghostly glow, and her hair, in the water flow, transformed into jellyfish tentacles.

At about five thousand meters deep, the two Humpback Whales could no longer tolerate the water pressure of the deep sea, and became irritable, prompting Jue Xin to let them swim back to the sea surface.

Below five thousand meters is absolute deep sea territory.

Even Jue Xin couldn’t dive in this sea zone in normal form.

A flicker and her slender human legs grew fish scales, merging into one, enveloped in fish skin, finally transforming into a beautiful fish tail.

Because Jue Xin has dual bloodlines of the Sea Demon and Divine Clan, she could freely transform between human and Sea Witch forms.

But under normal circumstances, she would appear in human form, only transforming to Sea Witch form when in deep sea zones for Nan Zhu collection.

She currently looks no different from the usual Sea Demon Clan.

Looking at Yue Jinghua again, in such a deep sea after swallowing the Ghost Mother, her transformation is complete.

From Yue Jinghua’s body, purple-red light emitted, and around her, a rainbow-like jellyfish halo enveloped her.

While diving, her whole body glowed continuously, her hair morphed into transparent jellyfish tentacles.

She appeared as if wrapped in a dazzling jellyfish-formed rainbow light ball.

The light ball excellently eliminated external water pressure damage.

The glow from the Ghost Mother’s body was like a guiding light, illuminating the dark, dayless sea area.

Apart from Jue Shang, and occasionally passing Ghost Mothers, there were no other creatures.

The appearance of this human and human-shaped Ghost Mother didn’t bring much impact to the sea bottom Ghost Mothers, they curiously circled around Yue Jinghua and Jue Xin.

"So incredible," Yue Jinghua felt that the water pressure below five thousand meters no longer posed any threat, her entire skeleton seemed to vanish, learning the Jellyfish movement technique to dive deeper into the sea zone.

The two dove approximately another nine thousand meters, finally revealing scenery other than the dark sea water.

Directly below, a sudden appearance of a trench like a ground chasm, about two meters wide, accommodating two or three people walking side by side, stretching dozens of sea miles.

This is the destination for Yue Jinghua and Jue Xin, the Nanbei Sea Trench.

In earlier years it was famous across the Chen Plane for producing abundant Nan Shells and resources.

In peak years of Nanbei resources, nearly every few steps could harvest valuable Nan Pearls, the smallest thumb-sized with natural luster.

For this reason, it’s also named Golden Trench by Sea Demon Clan.

But now this trench is black, bottomless, rushing water from the trench making it difficult for Yue Jinghua and Jue Xin to stand firmly.

Standing cautiously, Yue Jinghua’s foot exerted force, crushing a piece of reef, the reef rolled into the trench.

Rapidly swallowed by darkness, completely vanished, without making any sound.

The two communicated using Divine Sense: "According to mother’s records, the shells that birthed the Emperor Nan and Nanhuang Pearls were called East Nan Emperor Shell and West Nan Emperor Shell, located at the trench’s far east and west."

"This trench teeming with ghostly aura, lingering feels chaotic to our Dark Energy. It’s unwise to stay here long, let’s split up, if encountering anything unpleasant, we’ll leave the trench first," Yue Jinghua recoiling at the trench.

After swallowing the Ghost Mother, Yue Jinghua can use the Ghost Mother’s Dark Energy for six hours at a ten thousand meters depth, suggested by Sea Witch Jue Shang in the Shell Book not to exceed six hours.

Jue Xin nodded, meticulously retrieved Emperor Nan Pearl and Nanhuang Pearl.

Underwater, this added moon and sun, warming the dark water region significantly.

If these two Treasure Beads were placed back into their mother shells, Donglin might restore its former prosperity and vitality.
