Chapter 420 Night Falls, An Unusual Event Occurs

After Zuli returned to shore, he heard Sofia talk about the jellyfish and became very interested in it.

Not only because they want another ingredient with great development potential, but also because this jellyfish has an extremely rare adaptability to elemental forces.

If this jellyfish material were added to the new bullets he was researching, would it make the bullets more compatible with elements, thereby enhancing Sophia's enchantment power?

It is well worth studying.

Song Mingyu also took time out of her schedule to carry out a cultivation program for this special jellyfish.

The afternoon passed quickly, spent researching, collecting samples, and catching jellyfish.

It's getting late.

Zuli, who was in the water, quickly realized that something was wrong.

He decisively issued a retreat order to Sun Lili: "Stop collecting samples, get to the surface as soon as possible."

The two quickly returned to the surface of the sea.

It was already dusk.

As the sun sank below the horizon, the sky was dyed an eerie, bright purple. In the distance, two moons slowly rose over the sea, meeting on either side of the heavens and casting an unsettling purple glow. The sea was no longer calm; tiny, shimmering lights flickered among the waves, as if the entire ocean was awakening.

Su Li had explored many worlds and wouldn't find anything wrong with the fact that the moonlight was purple. In the past three years, Su Li had seen blue, red, and green moonlight. These were mostly caused by interference from both atmospheric conditions and magical energy.

Sun Lili closed her eyes, carefully sensing the moonlight. After a long while, she opened her eyes and said to Su Li, "The moonlight contains some special power, which is somewhat like the essence of the moon in novels. It is beneficial to the spirit and mind."

"The downside is that the moon's gifts are indiscriminate; they benefit us as well as demons and monsters. If there are ghosts in this world, they will become extremely excited under this moonlight."

Su Li translated, "So, in other words, there's an additional buff that enhances all attributes, including mental, dark, and psychological types, right?"

"Hmm~ You're right."

Su Li removed her mask, her voice serious, "The sun in this world doesn't have a corresponding buff. There's probably something on the moon."

Su Li looked at the purple twin moons, "Unfortunately, we can't get up there."

"Don't think about it. We're a train, not a spaceship." Sun Lili patted Su Li on the back. "Hurry back and wash off the seawater. I feel like the seawater is changing."

Su Li nodded; he felt it too. The surrounding seawater gave him a strange feeling of 'coming alive'.

The two immediately returned to the train. Inside, their teammates had all arrived and were observing the situation outside.

"Do you have any clues?" Su Li asked Song Mingyu.

“The ocean is changing. I conducted compositional analysis on the ocean, and the composition hasn’t changed, but internally, there has indeed been some kind of change that I can’t detect.” Song Mingyu rubbed his temples in distress, and after thinking for a long time, he came up with a somewhat inappropriate analogy, “It’s like someone secretly altered the physical properties of water, increasing its viscosity.”

"Take it with caution first."

This kind of change, which is visible but incomprehensible, feels very eerie.

Su Li and the others waited quietly on the train.

They watched as the ocean's color gradually changed from a bluish-transparent hue to a bluish-purple, emitting faint fluorescent glows.

The sound of the waves at the beach has changed. It is no longer the regular tide, but a kind of viscous, wriggling sound. The waves are gone, and there is only viscous, fluorescent blue-purple seawater that looks like it has been mixed with starch.

Zurich's pupils suddenly dilated as he gazed at the ocean.

In his field of vision, many creatures in the sea suddenly began to change.

The coral reefs were once a magnificent fairyland during the day.

Orange-red butterflyfish dart among the vibrant corals, blue-green parrotfish nibble on algae, and schools of yellow-tailed snapper swim like flowing gold leaf. Sea anemones sway gently with the current, and clownfish dart in and out among their tentacles.

Now, the moonlight shines through the sea, casting everything in a sickly bright purple hue.

The once adorable pufferfish suddenly swelled into a spiky sphere. It was no longer round and cute, but resembled the "angry pufferfish" in human imagination, with its bony spines protruding menacingly, exaggerated cartoon-like veins appearing on its skin, its fish eyes bulging, and its mouth tearing upwards, revealing serrated teeth.

It was grinding its teeth with a "click-clack" sound, looking like a funny emoji.

Many brightly colored fish, like clownfish, also underwent a mutation. Their bodies grew numerous ribbon-like fins, and the patterns on their bodies changed from the original monotonous patterns to human faces that looked like masks. Su Li noticed that each of these human faces had three eyes, and without exception, the first two eyes were closed while the third eye was wide open.

A fish that was once elegant, like a lionfish from Earth, now had its bony spines proliferating wildly, its fins turning into blade-like metallic sheen, and sharp bony armor rising from its back, resembling a "deep-sea warrior fish" from human imagination. Its swimming was no longer fluid, but rather mechanically assumed a fighting posture, every scale reflecting a cold light. It even began to "swipe" its fins, as if wielding a non-existent sword.

After these small fish began to transform, larger organisms also began to transform.

A clam grew larger and larger, eventually reaching the size of a bed. Then the shell opened, revealing a creature inside with its lower body fused into the shell, its upper body a naked humanoid. This creature had a huge pearl on its forehead, which gathered moonlight.

Then, an octopus's body continued to grow, and huge weapons made of coral clubs appeared in its hands.

Su Li could sense that the transformed creatures had all increased their strength to the Iron level, and the giant octopus and the clam-like human had even increased their strength to the Silver level.

This is a very unusual situation. Because the energy level of this world is only 1.2, theoretically, silver-level creatures shouldn't be so densely packed.

Sophia switched weapons, transforming them into a laser gun. There were too many monsters around; the laser gun, with its piercing effect, would be far more efficient at clearing them out.
