0347 Eerie Red Coral

It's a pity that the final result still disappointed Ding Ning.

This war, which lasted for an unknown amount of time, ended with a disgraced retreat after more than 100,000 electric eels were left with 20,000 or 30,000.

Jellyfish have also suffered heavy losses, but they still retain almost half of their population, which clearly has a great advantage.

Ding Ning looked at the jellyfish corpse that covered the sky and the sun, but he didn't dare to step forward, and he was depressed in his heart.

However, as the blood dissipated, Ding Ning's vision was no longer blocked, and his heart suddenly jumped wildly when he saw the crystals dropped by the jellyfish when he devoured the corpse of the electric eel.

The crystal was exactly the same as the water spirit crystal, but it shimmered with a faint white glow, and the jellyfish seemed to be afraid of this crystal like a snake and scorpion, and after corroding the electric eel's head, it waited for the crystal to fall on its own before daring to swallow it.

It wasn't until the jellyfish devoured all the electric eel carcasses and the dense crystals were scattered all over the ground that the jellyfish used their huge wrists and feet to bury the crystals with the sediment on the seabed, and the sea was suddenly turbid.

Ding Ning looked thoughtful, these jellyfish seemed to be very afraid of that kind of spar, looking at their very experienced, they must have done such a thing of "destroying corpses and destroying traces" more than once.

What is that crystal? Could it be Lei Lingjing? Ding Ning was faintly excited in his heart.

Although Lei Lingjing is much less attractive to Ding Ning than the Water Spirit Crystal, it is not a Spirit Crystal after all, not to mention, it is still an extremely rare Thunder Attribute Spirit Crystal.

You must know that even in the ancient martial arts world, thunder and lightning are extremely rare and rare attributes, and cultivation exercises are even more unheard of.

As an excellent Chinese medicine practitioner, Ding Ning clearly knows that the human body actually has trace amounts of electrical attributes, but it is difficult to be excavated, and Deng Jiuzhi's lightning pupil technique is the best proof of this.

The jellyfish corpses were not devoured by the tribesmen, but they were dragged away with their huge wrists and feet.

Ding Ning's eyes suddenly lit up, and he didn't know where they were going to pull the jellyfish corpses, but as the jellyfish went away one after another, there were fewer and fewer jellyfish on the scene, and his opportunity also came.

Like a very patient hunter waiting quietly, when there were only dozens of blue jellyfish left on the scene, Ding Ning suddenly moved, and the moment these jellyfish found him, the three-color fire suddenly appeared.

The small three-color fire exerted a terrifying power, and the jellyfish waved their wrists and feet in pain, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.

The three-color fire is like a spark that burns the prairie and a little spark can turn into a monstrous flame in the blink of an eye, enveloping the huge body of the jellyfish.

Ding Ning looked at the jellyfish that were constantly burning and struggling to "scream" in the three-color fire, his face was cold and abnormal, and he did not have the slightest pity for them.

These mutated jellyfish have stood at the top of the food chain, seriously disrupting the balance of the ecological environment, only knowing how to destroy and kill, if they are allowed to grow and grow, sooner or later this sea will become a dead place.

As all the sea creatures in the vicinity are eaten by them as food, sooner or later they will continue to expand their territory outward, and it will be a disaster for the entire ocean.

Putting aside the tens of thousands of Lei Lingjing buried by the jellyfish, Ding Ning couldn't help himself with excitement and took them all into his pocket.

The thunder spirit crystal is different from the water spirit crystal, according to the strength of the thunder attribute aura contained, it is divided into four colors: white, blue, red, and purple, with white being the weakest and purple being the strongest.

There were only a few purple top-grade Lei Lingjing, which made Ding Ning feel regretful, but this windfall still made him smile.

After unceremoniously smiling at the water spirit crystal dropped by the burned jellyfish, Ding Ning has a sense of the game of fighting monsters and explosive equipment.

The dark eyes looked at the army of jellyfish in the distance, and there was a burst of curiosity in his heart, where did these jellyfish drag the corpses of their tribesmen? Could it be that the jellyfish still have a special burial place?

A strong curiosity drove Ding Ning to take a peek at the end, and he followed closely with the blister.

Although the release of the three-color fire also consumes the power of the divine soul, it is still within his range.

Compared with the electric eel that can release high-voltage electric volts, he is much less afraid of jellyfish, and with the killer feature of three-color fire, he is confident that as long as he is not beaten by tens of thousands of jellyfish, he is still safe to protect himself.

Far behind the jellyfish swarm, I don't know how long I walked, and a huge deep canyon appeared in front of me, this canyon is many times larger than the previous trench, and the depth has reached 6,000 meters.

Even the giant purple jellyfish had a hard time diving to the bottom of the canyon, let alone the other jellyfish.

In front of a giant cave in the middle of the canyon, a swarm of jellyfish dragged the corpses of the jellyfish into it.

Ding Ning frowned and looked at the deep and huge hole, not knowing which one the jellyfish group was singing? Could it be that there are more powerful jellyfish in this cave? This made him hesitate a little, whether to take the risk and continue to follow up.

After only a moment of hesitation, Ding Ning gritted his teeth and quietly entered the cave with the last jellyfish.

Although he has a blister protector and is basically immune to the temperature changes around him, as soon as he enters the cave, a scorching heat still makes him feel hot and dry.

The frightened trail followed the swarm of jellyfish, and they didn't know how long they walked in the huge underwater tunnel, and the temperature was getting higher and higher.

Finally, Yongdao came to an end, and his eyes suddenly opened up, and a bizarre world made Ding Ning dumbfounded, and his mouth opened wide in surprise.

Could this be...... Coral thickets?

I saw that the fiery red coral bushes were all over the cave, and those jellyfish seemed to be extremely afraid of the coral bushes, and stretched out their wrists and feet far away to throw the corpses of jellyfish on the coral bushes.

A strange scene appeared, as soon as the jellyfish's corpse touched the red coral, it ignited a raging flame as if it had been ignited by a three-color fire, but the flame was a demonic bright red, and it looked as terrifying as blood.

In an instant, the entire cavern was filled with blood-red flames, and the terrible heat made the sea water gurgle as if it were boiling, and the jellyfish swarm seemed to be unable to withstand the terrible temperature and hurriedly retreated.

Ding Ning was startled, endured the terrible heat, and burrowed headlong into the coral bush to avoid the jellyfish swarm.

Compared to the huge size of the giant jellyfish, the coral bushes that seem insignificant are like a forest to Ding Ning, hiding in them is not conspicuous at all, coupled with the terrifying high temperature here, the jellyfish's sense of spiritual power is also invalid, so he is dangerously unnoticed by the jellyfish group.

It only takes 20 years to grow an inch, and 300 years to grow a kilogram, and the red coral, which is countless times more precious than gold in the outside world, has formed a coral cluster as tall as a forest here, each coral is two or three meters high, which can make Ding Ning easily hide in it.

As the saying goes, the thousand-year-old coral is red for ten thousand years, and it takes ten thousand years to form this fiery red coral, which shows how precious it is, but I didn't expect that a red coral forest would be formed here.

Ding Ning's first thought is to make a fortune, just dig a red coral and sell it for a sky-high price, you must know that red coral is calculated in grams in the outside world, like the one in front of him, which is large, high-density, fiery red and crystal clear, basically has no insect eyes and white cores, it is not impossible to sell a gram to five figures.

It was just the strange bright red flame that made him realize that this was definitely not as simple as ordinary red coral.

According to his understanding of coral, red coral is an organic gemstone, the color is pleasing, the texture is lush, growing in the deep sea far away from humans 100 to 2 kilometers, natural red coral is formed by the accumulation of polyps, the growth is very slow, non-renewable, and red coral only grows in a few straits, limited by the sea area, so red coral is extremely precious.

This is the East China Sea, where red coral is not produced, or a deep sea area about 6,000 meters under the sea, how can there be such a strong and tall red coral?

In particular, the jellyfish swarm is obviously "cremating" the clansmen, and the red coral does not seem to have the function of "cremation", right?

As far as he knows, polyps feed on the tiny plankton in the ocean, absorb calcium and carbon dioxide from seawater during their growth, and then secrete limestone, which becomes their own shell, and corals are the secretions of polyps, forming the support structure of polyps.

Could it be the flame formed by the polyp? Impossible, the polyp is a sea creature, but it is not tolerant of high temperatures, how can it emit such a terrifying high temperature?

This unbelievable phenomenon aroused Ding Ning's strong curiosity, and he quietly opened the eye of heaven to look at the bright red flame, and suddenly trembled, and his soul was shocked.

The bright red flame turned out to be composed of an endless number of invisible insects, the insects were blood-red, the body was cylindrical, and there were eight translucent tentacles, each with a small mouth in the palm of the tentacle.

If Ding Ning is not mistaken, this is indeed a polyp, but it is very different from his impression that the small mouth in the middle of the polyp's tentacles was originally used to devour plankton, but at this moment, bright red flames erupted from the small mouth, and the invulnerable jellyfish skin shell continued to dissolve and decay under the bright red flame.

In the blink of an eye, the giant jellyfish were burned to the ground, and the hard shells turned into drops of resinous transparent material that were devoured by the polyps.

With a "poof", as the corpse of the first jellyfish completely disappeared, a water spirit crystal fell from the ground, followed by the second and third ......

Slightly different from the jellyfish's extreme fear of the thunder spirit crystal, although this terrifying polyp does not like the water spirit crystal, it does not reach the point of fear, ignoring the existence of the water spirit crystal, allowing them to fall to the ground, only caring about devouring the transparent substance transformed by the jellyfish skin, as if it is the most delicious food in the world.

The corpse of the jellyfish was gradually devoured, and the polyps returned to the coral forest motionless, secreting a substance similar to jellyfish gelatin, but after their body transformation, this translucent substance has turned fiery red, and the red coral is also growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, although it is only a small amount, but there is still nothing to hide under Ding Ning's heavenly eyes.

Ding Ning suddenly realized, no wonder this red coral grew so tall, it turned out that the polyp swallowed the red translucent substance secreted by the corpse of the jellyfish.

As the polyps hibernated, Ding Ning looked at the tens of thousands of water spirit crystals on the ground, and his heart was hot.

He now has a rough guess in his mind, he doesn't know if the polyps and the jellyfish swarm have reached some kind of agreement, or if the jellyfish knows that the polyps will not embezzle the water spirit crystal, so they don't hesitate to rush here to deal with the corpse, and the corpse is handed over to the polyp to melt and devour it and transform it into red coral, forming an equivalent exchange.

It's just that I don't know if it's the former or the latter, if it's the latter, it's okay, Ding Ning will be able to pick up the water spirit crystal unscrupulously.

If it was the former, I am afraid that the polyps would never allow Ding Ning to take the water spirit crystal.

But Ding Ning is by no means a person who is willing to enter the treasure mountain and return empty-handed, since he has come here, he has to give it a try no matter what.

Worriedly put away a piece of water spirit crystal, hey, there was no movement, the second piece, the third piece......
