After Eve finished speaking, the holographic projection suddenly fluctuated violently. Then, it said intermittently, "That's right. That's right.
She then continued, "Planet E seems to have discovered something. It's starting a full-scale counterattack! The struggle is very violent. My energy transmission has been affected, so I'll probably disappear for a while. Remember, just let me know when you find the place. "
After saying that, Eve disappeared from Sheyan's sight. But the question she asked really troubled Sheyan. How was he supposed to climb up to the energy-absorbing device installed in the sky?
It was said that some contestants who became Awakeners would develop wings and gain the ability to fly, but Sheyan obviously did not have such an ability!
The spectacle of thousands of Mayflies flying in the sky lasted for at least half an hour. After the Mayflies mated, they actually injected all their life force into the eggs. Of course, they would die immediately. For a time, the corpses of the Mayflies fell like rain. After falling onto the plants on the island, they rotted and became nutrients that were absorbed. If they fell into water, they would quickly dissolve like sugar or salt and return to nothingness.
Of course, there were also many creatures that came to devour the corpses of the mayflies, and these creatures were then hunted down by the other creatures at the top of the food chain! According to Eve, the regular mayfly tide could provide the daily basic life energy of Realm E, and these powerful creatures that were bred were like batteries. Once they encountered a high energy consumption, Realm E would immediately deprive them of their life force to replenish its energy.
When Sheyan saw this scene, he suddenly remembered that if he did not have the protection of the mother Realm, his life force would have been sucked dry and he would have turned into a dried corpse or a zombie! In the face of the power of the Realm, his power was indeed very small, not even worth mentioning!
He tried his best to extend his sensory tendrils upwards to the maximum, but he still found nothing. Sheyan suppressed his nausea and jumped into the sea of amniotic fluid. He climbed up the island of algae and searched carefully, but he still found nothing.
Just as he was feeling lost, a soft sound suddenly interrupted Sheyan's thoughts. Logically speaking, Sheyan should not have been able to hear this soft sound, because the sea of amniotic fluid was still rippling slightly in his current environment. There was also the sound of the wind and the rustling of branches and leaves.
But now that Sheyan was an Executor, he had already memorized the rhythm of the sounds made by nature. Therefore, the strange sound that was not made by nature was particularly clear to him.
He immediately bounced up and jumped towards the surface of the water. While he was jumping, he grabbed several vines with his right hand to adjust his diving posture. He then plunged into the sea of amniotic fluid. His diving posture and splash were so small that it was almost silent. The combination of a contestant's strong physical attributes and his own experience was enough to make any world diving champion blush with shame!
After entering the water, Sheyan's squinted eyes immediately caught sight of a black shadow rapidly diving into the depths of the sea.
"What is this black shadow doing here?" Sheyan's mind raced. He found that he could not catch up with the black shadow in time, but when he turned his head, he found that the bottom of the island of algae was made up of large clusters of floccules. The closer it was to the surface of the water, the denser the floccules were. The black shadow seemed to have come from the depths of the island of algae.
Although Sheyan could not catch up with the black shadow, it was not a problem for him to investigate what was going on under the island. He swam in the direction of the black shadow, but he suddenly found that those floccules, pale green filaments, quickly rolled over and wrapped themselves around his body like the tentacles of a jellyfish! He immediately felt like an electric current was running through his body, followed by a scorch mark! Even the floccules turned yellow and withered. They could not withstand the damage from the secretions.
These silk-like objects were actually poisonous, and they were also extremely pliable! Fortunately, these tricks were completely negligible to Sheyan. The resistance of the 'Stairway of the Sun' to poison was not for show. The flexible floccules could only be broken into pieces under Sheyan's brute force. However, Sheyan still did not find anything of value even after spending a long time searching the place.
Running into a wall consecutively was not a big deal for Sheyan. On the contrary, he vaguely caught a hidden clue! Yes, the reason why he did not find anything of value was very simple. The black shadow was here to take the valuable thing! The reason why he could not find it was because the clue had already been taken away!
After knowing the reason, Sheyan immediately swam towards the other islands. When he wasn't a contestant, diving underwater for 4-5 minutes wasn't a problem. What more now that he had a few hundred points of physique, plus a title bonus? If he was thrown into the water, he would probably drown in at least two to three hours.
When he explored the third island, Sheyan finally discovered the hidden secret. It turned out that the roots of the trees on each island were connected. They did not need to bloom or bear fruit, they only needed to grow leaves for the mayflies. The excess life energy produced by photosynthesis would condense in the centre of the roots. When the amount was large enough, the mysterious black shadow would naturally appear from the deep sea to harvest it.
Now that he knew the reason, although Sheyan was very curious about the condensed Pearl of Life, he did not dare to act rashly. After all, he was like a thief in the 60s who had activated Stealth, squatting next to a treasure chest containing the Sword of Wind, while Big Screw was eyeing him covetously! If he moved, he would definitely die!
Once he touched the Pearl of Life, Noah Realm E would be on high alert. Sheyan would definitely be caught, so he could only suppress his curiosity and silently wait for the Pearl of Life to slowly mature.
Soon, because the Pearl of Life that Sheyan had chosen to condense was close to maturity, his sensory tentacles soon found the black shadow that had come to harvest the fruit.
The creature was a toad that looked like a fish, or rather, a fish that looked like a toad. It was light black all over and had no fish scales, but its streamlined body looked very slippery.
This creature had a big mouth like a toad. When it held the Pearl of Life in its mouth, it could successfully prevent it from falling off or being damaged. Its two sturdy legs and thick tail provided it with a lot of kinetic energy, allowing it to swim at an extremely fast speed.
Sheyan hesitated for a moment before he found that the black shadow had disappeared. If he had not reached out with his sensory tentacles, he would have completely lost control of the creature. If it were any other contestant, their natural fear of the deep sea would not have followed them, but for Sheyan, who had been fighting in the sea since he was a teenager, he did not have such an innate fear. In addition, his sensory tendrils could reach a length of two kilometres when he focused, so he gritted his teeth and followed them down.
But Sheyan soon regretted it, because when he reached a depth of 300 meters, he suddenly discovered something. It was not that he could not withstand the pressure of the sea, but that the deeper he dived, the stronger the current became. It was as if there was a huge whirlpool under the sea, and the increase in power of the whirlpool was very slow. It was like boiling a frog in warm water. By the time the frog felt the water was boiling, it was already deep in the trap.
"What the hell!" Sensing the increasing suction force from his body, Sheyan decisively stopped his futile resistance. Instead, he simply summoned out his giant wrench. Since he was truly forced into a corner, he could only fight to the death.
After being sucked in by the whirlpool for nearly two or three kilometers, the water pressure had reached an astonishing level. At this time, let alone ordinary people, even contestants with digitized bodies felt very strained. Fortunately, Sheyan's specialty was his Physique. Other than feeling a little tight on his skin, he did not feel any discomfort.
It was pitch-black in the deep sea, but soon, a faint light appeared in front of Sheyan. It was exceptionally clear in the deep darkness. When he got closer, he discovered that it was actually a giant strange fish with long whiskers. At the end of the whiskers was a phosphorescent ball. The phosphorescent ball attracted curious fish from time to time, which automatically delivered itself to the mouth of the strange fish and swallowed them in one gulp. Sheyan's eyes narrowed as he looked at Sheyan's eyes.
However, the strange fish was already at the bottom of the sea. When Sheyan arrived here, he suddenly felt the pressure disappear. The power of the whirlpool, which was originally like a rope binding his body, had disappeared all of a sudden. Through the light emitted by the monster fish, Sheyan saw the shadow of a building at the bottom of the sea. He immediately swam towards it.
In less than five minutes, Sheyan had entered a place called "Sea Base Station No. 1374". The function of this place was to collect the life energy produced by the islands within a radius of 1,000 square kilometers, as well as store the excess life energy.
That's right, to store the inexhaustible life energy meant that the life energy absorbed by the mayfly eggs in the sky would eventually be gathered here! Therefore, the secret that Eve wanted Sheyan to find was actually not in the sky, but at the bottom of the sea. There was actually a kind of refracting mirror in the sky. Once it absorbed enough life energy, it would blast it into the storage device of the sea base station like a particle cannon.
More importantly, Sheyan had obtained first-hand terrifying information. There were 16,700 sea base stations in this world, and Noah Realm E had a total of 736 of these so-called "life core engines"!
