My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel - Chapter 392

Chapter 392: Chapter 393: Information on the Time Spirit Race
 

The time on the sea slipped away quietly with the rhythm of the winds and waves and the journey.

A few days felt like nothing more than a few blinks, passing in a flash.

The merfolk fishing boat carrying Gu Xing and the others, under the skilled navigation of the siblings Xi and Yun, had smoothly reached the edge of the South Sea from Linhai City.

The moment they entered this sea area, Xi’s expression became highly tense.

His knuckles on the wheel turned slightly white, and his voice quivered uncontrollably.

He pointed to the seemingly calm yet eerily ominous sea surface ahead:

“Gu… Gu Xing, my lord, it’s right ahead!”

“Last time, it was here that we were suddenly surrounded by that damned thick fog!”

That terrifying experience had clearly left a very deep shadow in his heart.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xing nodded, heightening his vigilance.

“Liu Li, Vera, Snow Woman, stay alert, and pay attention to any abnormal energy fluctuations around us!”

“Understood, master!”

All three Guardian Beasts replied in unison, instantly entering a combat-ready state.

At the same time.

In the dark depths of the sea.

The deep-sea octopus, who had been severely beaten by Long Qingyan, looked at the vessel on the surface, a trace of ferocity flashing in its eyes.

“Damn it! I can’t deal with that terrifying Dragon Race, but can’t I handle you reckless merfolk trash?!”

It roared angrily in its heart, transferring all the overwhelming resentment from Long Qingyan to this unfortunate intruding boat.

“Just right to vent my anger on you!”

In the next moment, it hesitated no longer, frantically urging the power within its body!

The inky energy laced with poison, mixed with its unique bewildering mist, surged from countless suction cups on its body like a flood breaching a dam.

They quickly dispersed in the seawater, spreading towards the surface!

Almost at the same time as the deep-sea octopus launched its attack, Gu Xing on the surface sharply sensed a sinister energy appearing!

“Liu Li! Full activation of Guardian Law!”

Gu Xing reacted extremely quickly and immediately gave orders.

“Understood!”

Liu Li shouted crisply, and brilliant golden light soared into the sky, instantly transforming into a solid hemispherical shield, enshrouding the entire ship securely within it.

This barrier, composed of pure Guardian Law, was enough to withstand most physical and energy attacks.

However, the next scene left Gu Xing and Liu Li slightly surprised.

The thick fog, interspersed with eerie inky hues mingled with gray and white, did not cause a fierce energy collision when it touched the golden shield.

They seemed not to possess physical form, infiltrating like water seeping through a sieve, in a strange manner, slowly, silently, seeping in!

“What?!”

A trace of astonishment flashed in Liu Li’s eyes.

Her Guardian Law could not completely block this fog?

Upon observing carefully, Gu Xing realized:

“This fog… does not seem to be purely energy attacks, but rather a kind of… environmental change?”

“Thus, the Guardian Law considers it a non-aggressive existence, severely reducing the defensive effect!”

As the fog continued to seep in, Xi and Yun on the ship began to feel slight dizziness and discomfort, prompting Gu Xing to make a swift decision:

“Liu Li, switch laws! Use the Power of Destruction!”

“Understood!”

Liu Li’s thoughts shifted, her surroundings instantly turning from golden to a blazing red!

The furious Destruction Law, like a fire raging across a field, swept out from her center in all directions!

“Sizzle——!”

This time, the effect was immediate!

The Destruction Law was extraordinarily tyrannical, upholding an absolute will that all things could be destroyed.

The moment those eerie fogs came into contact with the Fire of Destruction, they met their nemesis, emitted a piercing burning sound, and were rapidly decomposed and obliterated, turning into nothingness.

Seeing this, Xi and Yun’s eyes were filled with shock.

The terrible fog that troubled the entire Merfolk tribe was so easily defeated in front of Gu Xing!

However, Gu Xing’s brows did not relax.

He sensed that the source of the fog at the seabed continued to incessantly release dense fog, seemingly endless.

Although Liu Li’s Destruction Law could remove already infiltrated fog, maintaining this purification over the long term and on a large scale would consume greatly from Liu Li, not being a long-term solution.

“We must find the source and solve the problem fundamentally.”

His spiritual power scanned the sea surface, finding nothing.

The answer was obvious.

The seabed!

However, although Liu Li, Vera, and Snow Woman were strong, their strength attributes were not entirely suitable for deep-sea environments, significantly weakening their combat effectiveness in deep waters.

Letting them risk into the sea was too dangerous.

Gu Xing turned his gaze to the old turtle nearby:

“Old Turtle, it seems we’ll need to trouble you! Please help me to investigate where the source of this fog is?”

Upon returning to the familiar sea, Old Turtle’s face regained some of the confidence of a strong Sea Race figure.

In the ocean, he could exert his full strength.

“Rest assured, Lord Gu Xing. I will handle the investigation! Please take care of the Little Princess!”

Old Turtle agreed solemnly, then his figure moved, disappearing silently into the sea like a cannonball, quickly vanishing into the dark waters below.

After Old Turtle departed, Gu Xing called Xi to his side:

“Xi, when you encountered the fog last time, besides losing your vision and hearing and the crew collapsing, did you have any special sensations yourself?”

“Or, did anything unusual happen after the incident?”

Xi pondered this question carefully as he recalled.

Suddenly, as if recalling something, he cautiously took out an item from his clothing—

It was a white conch, already broken into several pieces and now dull in color.

“No special sensations… but oddly, this conch…”

Xi held the shattered pieces in his palm, “I obtained this conch many years ago by chance, and I have always worn it closely.”

“Just when the fog hit last time, in my panic when turning the ship around, it…”

“It suddenly shattered on its own, and I don’t know why.”

Gu Xing’s gaze was immediately attracted to those broken conch pieces.

As he focused intently, lines of information naturally appeared in his mind:

[A Conch Corroded by Time Law]

[Source: Relic of the Time Spirit Race]

[Function: It will return the user’s body to 24 hours prior]

[Note: This conch can only be used once and has already been used]

“Time Law! Time Spirit Race!”

Gu Xing’s heart skipped a beat!

This unassuming conch was indeed related to the mysterious Time Law and linked to Sally’s belonging, the Time Spirit Race!

Currently, Sally’s reason for slumber was unknown, perhaps entering this relic of the Time Spirit Race might provide answers.

Realizing this, Gu Xing addressed Xi again:

“Xi, where did you get this thing?”

Xi recalled for a moment and then slowly spoke:

“It was also in the South Sea, but many years ago!”

Saying this, he glanced at Gu Xing, seeing no objection before continuing:

“At that time, we encountered a maritime vortex, I forgot exactly what happened, only knowing that when I woke up, this conch was in my hand.”

“I thought it was quite unique, so I kept it with me until now.”

Hearing this, Gu Xing roughly understood.

Previously, Xi had likely stumbled into a relic of the Time Spirit Race by accident.

By sheer coincidence, he acquired this conch imbued with the Time Law.

Understanding this, Gu Xing also made up his mind.

This Secret Realm, he definitely had to explore it.
