Unfortunately, the final result still disappointed Ding Ning.
This war, which lasted for an unknown period of time, ended with only 20,000 to 30,000 electric eels retreating in disgrace.
Although the jellyfishes also suffered heavy losses, they still had almost half of their original numbers, which obviously gave them a great advantage.
Ding Ning looked at the jellyfishes' corpses that covered the sky, but he did not dare to go forward, feeling depressed.
However, as the blood dissipated, Ding Ning's vision was no longer blocked. When he saw the jellyfishes swallowing the jellyfishes' crystals, his heart suddenly beat wildly.
The crystals were exactly the same as the Spiritual Crystal of Water, but they were shining with a faint white light. The jellyfishes seemed to be afraid of these crystals, and did not dare to swallow them until they corroded the eels' heads and dropped the crystals.
When the jellyfishes swallowed all the eels' corpses, the dense crystals fell to the ground, and the jellyfishes used their huge tentacles to bury the crystals with the seabed sand. Suddenly, the seawater became muddy.
Ding Ning showed a thoughtful expression. These jellyfishes seemed to be afraid of the crystals, and it seemed that they were very experienced. They must have done this more than once.
"What are those crystals? Are they Spiritual Crystals of Thunder? " Ding Ning felt a little excited.
Although Spiritual Crystals of Thunder were not as attractive to Ding Ning as Spiritual Crystals of Water, they were spiritual crystals after all, not to mention the extremely rare Spiritual Crystals of thunder property.
Even in the Ancient Martial World, thunder property was extremely rare, and the cultivation method of thunder property was unheard of.
As an outstanding traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, Ding Ning clearly knew that there was actually a trace of electricity property in the human body, but it was very difficult to dig it out. Deng Nine-Finger's Pupil Skill of Lightning was the best proof.
The jellyfishes' corpses were not swallowed by their clansmen, but dragged away by their huge tentacles.
Ding Ning's eyes suddenly brightened. He did not know where they were going to drag the jellyfishes' corpses, but as the jellyfishes left one by one, there were fewer and fewer jellyfishes on the spot, and his chance came.
Like a very patient hunter, Ding Ning waited quietly. When there were only dozens of blue jellyfishes left on the spot, Ding Ning suddenly moved. The moment these jellyfishes found him, the tricolor fire suddenly appeared.
The small three-colored fire released a terrifying power. The jellyfishes waved their tentacles in pain, trying to put out the fire on their bodies.
The three-colored fire was like a single spark that could start a prairie fire. In the blink of an eye, a tiny spark could turn into a monstrous flame that enveloped the huge body of the jellyfish.
Ding Ning looked at the jellyfish that were burning, struggling, and "screaming" in the three-colored fire. His face was extremely cold, and he had no pity for them at all.
These mutated jellyfish were already at the top of the food chain and had seriously damaged the balance of the ecological environment. They only knew how to destroy and kill. If they were allowed to grow stronger, this sea area would become a dead zone sooner or later.
As they devoured all the sea creatures in the vicinity, sooner or later, they would expand their territory. That would be a disaster for the entire ocean.
Digging out the tens of thousands of Spiritual Crystals of Thunder buried by the jellyfish, Ding Ning was so excited that he couldn't restrain himself and put them all into his pocket.
The Spiritual Crystals of Thunder were different from the Spiritual Crystals of Water. They were divided into four colors according to the strength of the Spiritual Qi of Thunder, white, blue, red, and purple. White was the weakest, and purple was the strongest.
There were only a few purple Spiritual Crystals of Thunder of the highest grade, which made Ding Ning feel quite regretful, but this unexpected fortune still made him smile from ear to ear.
After taking the Spiritual Crystals of Water that were dropped by the burnt jellyfish, Ding Ning felt like he was playing a game of killing monsters to get equipment.
Looking at the army of jellyfish in the distance, Ding Ning felt curious. Where did these jellyfish drag the corpses of their clansmen to? Did they have special burial places for the jellyfish?
Driven by his strong curiosity, Ding Ning wanted to find out the truth, so he drove the bubble to follow the jellyfish.
Although releasing the three-colored fire consumed the power of his Divine Soul, it was still within his bearable range.
Compared with the electric eel that could release high-voltage electricity, he was not afraid of the jellyfish. With the three-colored fire as his trump card, he was confident that he could protect himself as long as he was not besieged by tens of thousands of jellyfish.
Following the jellyfish from a distance of a kilometer, Ding Ning didn't know how long he had been walking. In front of him, a huge and deep canyon appeared. This canyon was many times larger than the trench before, and its depth was more than 6,000 meters.
Even those giant purple jellyfish found it difficult to dive to the bottom of the canyon, not to mention the other jellyfish.
When they came to a huge cave in the middle of the canyon, the jellyfish dragged the jellyfish corpses into the cave one after another.
Ding Ning frowned and looked at the deep and huge cave, wondering what the jellyfish were doing. Were there more powerful jellyfish in the cave? This made him hesitate whether he should take the risk and continue to follow the jellyfish.
After hesitating for a moment, Ding Ning gritted his teeth and followed the last jellyfish into the cave quietly.
Although he had the bubble to protect him and was basically immune to the change of the surrounding temperature, as soon as he entered the cave, he could not help but feel hot because of the scorching heat.
Fearfully following the jellyfish, Ding Ning didn't know how long he had been walking in the huge undersea tunnel, and the temperature was getting higher and higher.
Finally, at the end of the tunnel, Ding Ning suddenly saw a strange and dazzling world. Ding Ning was dumbfounded and opened his mouth wide in astonishment.
"Is this … coral?"
He saw that the whole cave was covered with fiery red coral. The jellyfish seemed to be extremely afraid of the coral and stretched out their tentacles to throw the jellyfish corpses on the coral.
A strange scene appeared. As soon as the corpses of the jellyfish touched the red coral, they were set ablaze as if they had been ignited by the tricolor fire. However, the flame was bright red and looked as horrible as blood.
In the blink of an eye, the whole cave was filled with blood-red flames, and the terrible heat made the seawater gurgling as if it was boiling. The jellyfishes seemed to be unable to bear the terrible temperature, and hurriedly retreated.
Ding Ning was startled. Enduring the terrible heat, he went into the coral to avoid the jellyfish.
Compared with the huge size of the giant jellyfish, the coral seemed insignificant, but for Ding Ning, it was like a forest, which was not conspicuous at all. In addition, with the terrible heat here, the jellyfish could not sense the Spiritual Power, so he narrowly avoided being discovered by the jellyfish.
The red coral, which grew one inch in 20 years and one kilogram in 300 years, was much more precious than gold in the outside world. But here, the coral formed a forest as tall as a forest. Each coral was two or three meters high, which was enough for Ding Ning to hide in it easily.
As the saying goes, it takes a thousand years for the coral to grow ten thousand years for the red coral to grow. It took ten thousand years for the red coral to form, which showed how precious it was. Ding Ning didn't expect that there would be a red coral forest here.
Ding Ning's first thought was that he had made a fortune. Any red coral he dug up could be sold at a sky-high price. It should be known that red corals were calculated by grams in the outside world. It was not impossible for a top-grade red coral like the one in front of him, which was big, dense, fiery red and crystal clear, and basically had no worm eyes or white cores to be sold at a five-digit price per gram.
But the weird bright red flame made him realize that it was definitely not as simple as an ordinary red coral.
According to his understanding of corals, red corals were organic gems with pleasant color and lustrous texture. They grew in the deep sea one hundred to two kilometers away from human beings. Natural red corals were formed by the accumulation of polyps. They grew very slowly and could not be regenerated. Red corals only grew in a few straits and were limited by the sea area, so they were extremely precious.
This was the East Sea, which did not produce red corals, and the deep sea area was about six kilometers under the sea. How could there be such strong and tall red corals?
In particular, the jellyfish group was obviously "cremating" their clansmen. Red corals did not seem to have the function of "cremation", did they? What was up with those blood-red flames?
As far as he knew, polyps lived by preying on the tiny plankton in the sea. During their growth, they could absorb calcium and carbon dioxide in the sea, and then secrete limestone, which became their living shell. Coral was the secretion of polyps, which formed the supporting structure of polyps.
Was it the flame formed by polyps? That was impossible. Polyps were living in the sea and could not tolerate high temperature. How could they emit such a terrible heat?
This incredible phenomenon aroused Ding Ning's strong curiosity. He quietly opened the Third Eye and looked at the bright red flame. Suddenly, he trembled all over and was scared out of his wits.
The bright red flames were actually made up of countless insects that were invisible to the naked eye. The insects were blood-red in color, and their bodies were cylindrical. They had eight translucent tentacles, and each tentacle had a small mouth on its palm.
If Ding Ning remembered correctly, these were indeed polyps. But what was very different from what he remembered was that the small mouth in the middle of the tentacles was used to swallow plankton. But at this moment, the small mouth of the polyps was ejecting bright red flame, and the invulnerable jellyfish's shell was constantly melting and decaying in the bright red flame.
In the blink of an eye, the giant jellyfish were burned to ashes, and their hard shells turned into drops of resin-like transparent substances, which were swallowed by polyps.
With a "puff" sound, as the body of the first jellyfish completely disappeared, a Spiritual Crystal of Water fell on the ground, and then the second one, the third one …
Different from the jellyfish that were extremely afraid of the Spiritual Crystal of Thunder, these horrible polyps did not fear the Spiritual Crystals of Water even though they did not like them. They ignored the existence of the Spiritual Crystals of Water and let them fall on the ground. They only cared about swallowing the transparent substances of the jellyfish's skin, as if they were the most delicious food in the world.
The bodies of the jellyfish were gradually swallowed up, and the polyps returned to the coral forest and stood still, secreting a substance similar to jellyfish's colloid. But after being transformed by their bodies, this translucent substance had become fiery red, and the red corals were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although the growth was very small, it still could not hide from Ding Ning's Third Eye.
Ding Ning suddenly understood why the red corals grew so tall. It turned out that the red translucent substance secreted by the polyps after swallowing the bodies of the jellyfish.
As the polyps lay dormant, Ding Ning looked at the tens of thousands of Spiritual Crystals of Water on the ground, and his heart was burning.
Now he had a general speculation in his mind. He did not know whether the polyps and the jellyfish had reached some kind of agreement, or the jellyfish knew that the polyps would not embezzle the Spiritual Crystals of Water, so they did not hesitate to come here to deal with the bodies of the jellyfish and let the polyps melt them and turn them into red corals, forming an equivalent exchange.
But he did not know whether it was the former or the latter. If it was the latter, Ding Ning would be able to pick up the Spiritual Crystals of Water unscrupulously.
If it was the former, the polyps would not allow Ding Ning to take away the Spiritual Crystals of Water.
But Ding Ning was not a person who was willing to enter a treasure mountain and return empty-handed. Since he had come here, he had to try anyway.
