Chapter 452: Chapter 452: Highly Poisonous Sea Thorns

Shi Hao reached out and pressed down, but before the Talismanic Soldier could be deployed, Zhao Liuhao was pinned underneath him.

Dammit!

Zhao Liuhao almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, feeling chills run down his spine.

He certainly knew how terrifying that Talismanic Soldier was—killing Self-Observation was practically trivial, and now he found himself pressed down on it...the consequences were unimaginable!

"No—" he cried out, but he could only utter a single word before the might of the Talismanic Soldier erupted, instantly tearing him to shreds.

"Sigh!" Shi Hao sighed, a look of distress on his face, "My Talismanic Soldier!"

Luckily for him, Zhao Liuhao’s body no longer existed, or else he would definitely be depressed enough to want to die again.

Your Talismanic Soldier?

Shi Hao then reflected; after knocking someone down, one must either finish the job quickly or completely disable the opponent’s ability to act. Otherwise, he could have saved a Talismanic Soldier.

Fortunately, it was only of Founding King Court level, and at most it possessed the might of a First or Second King, so the impact wasn’t too significant.

—Such a Talismanic Soldier could only kill Self-Observation, and even facing Self-Observation, even the Nine States did not concern him, so, it was a loss he could accept.

Shi Hao thought this way, but he still couldn’t hide how pained he felt.

Fortunately, Zhao Liuhao’s Spatial Spirit Tool had not been shattered, and it did leave Shi Hao with some Spirit Stones and several Spiritual Medicines, which slightly consoled him.

The two set out again, sneaking back into the Ant Nest and obtained a large amount of formic acid.

Many days later, they finally left the plains and in front of them appeared a vast sea.

This secret realm was too big.

Shi Hao made a wooden raft and then set sail with Su Manman. As for the big yellow dog and Dark Patterned Leopard, he had put them out of his mind. He was in the throes of a love affair, and the last thing he needed was third-party interference.

The sea was not easy to cross with sudden fierce winds and waves, and sometimes dense clouds would gather, first with thunderstorm barrages then torrential rain, easily capable of capsizing a large boat.

But this did not deter Shi Hao and Su Manman because whenever such extreme weather occurred, Su Manman would take them and the boat into her Immortal Abode.

—She could control it from the inside, sinking to the seabed or floating on the surface as needed.

"Can it fly?" Shi Hao suddenly wondered aloud.

Su Manman glanced at him and then proudly said, "Of course!"

Shi Hao couldn’t help feeling eager, truly wanting such an incredible item for himself!

The sea was not only treacherous, but it also harbored terrible ferocious beasts, including those of Supplementing Divine Temple level. If Shi Hao didn’t have the protection of the Immortal Abode, he would have to be extremely cautious, always vigilant of the sea surface, ready to steer the boat away immediately at any sign of unusual water ripples.

Generally speaking, the stronger the ferocious beast, the larger its size, so Supplementing Divine Temple level beasts were almost like mountains, showing significant signs before appearing.

However, for those powerful enough, it was also a feast of gluttony, as the flesh of the ferocious beasts was revitalizing for Martial Artists, and some special parts could be used in medicine or to forge weapons, the higher the tier, the broader their use.

Although Shi Hao and Su Manman primarily focused on avoiding danger, sometimes the two would sit on the raft, admiring the vastness of the sea; sadly, without the sunset and sunrise, it lacked a certain charm.

"Huh?"

Shi Hao was surprised to discover many fish belly-up on the sea surface, including some ferocious beasts that seemed to have died simultaneously.

Looking at the carcasses, they showed no signs of injury, including those of the ferocious beast level, suggesting that they were not killed by physical force.

—Had their souls shattered?

Shi Hao casually grabbed one, but to be cautious, he wrapped his hands with forceful energy and Elemental Power, avoiding direct contact with the fish corpse.

But he was immediately shocked to find that both the forceful energy and Elemental Power were being rapidly eroded.

He hastily tossed his hand and placed the fish corpse on the raft, only to find that the raft itself was completely unaffected.

Huh?

"Poison?" he looked towards Su Manman.

Su Manman glanced over and said, "There might be some highly toxic Sea Thorns nearby. Although it has no strength, and even an ordinary person can catch it, if it releases just a drop of venom, it could easily poison someone as powerful as a Supplementing Divine Temple warrior to death."

That powerful?

"Just now, it might have encountered a predator, so it released the lethal toxin, resulting in such a massacre."

It’s amazing, having mediocre strength yet possessing the ability to poison someone of Supplementing Divine Temple level to death.

Shi Hao’s eyes lit up: "It would be great if we could capture it."

Such extreme poison could definitely be used to covertly harm warriors from the Supplementing Divine Temple.

"Here, I’ll give you a suit of skin gear, which can completely block the toxins. You can go down and try your luck," Su Manman handed him a thin leather suit that could cover him from head to toe.

Shi Hao wasn’t surprised that she could pull out such an odd assortment of items, after all, she was the daughter of a wealthy family.

Alas, he had inherited the memory of an Almighty Sky Ladder builder, so why didn’t he have such a substantial estate?

As Shi Hao put on the suit, he muttered complaints in his heart, then leaped into the sea.

Indeed, although the leather suit was thin, it possessed an incredible ability to repel water, and it did not hinder his flexibility at all.

But the problem was, as he swam downward for a while, the light dimmed and the ocean turned pitch black, making it impossible to see anything.

Not afraid.

Shi Hao drew forth the Light Element. Although it was less abundant here, it was still available. Buzzing, beams of light suddenly shot out from his eyes, reaching a thousand meters ahead.

This method of illumination was truly a luxury.

Shi Hao kept swimming and searching because, given the physical strength of the Sea Thorns, since it appeared in this sea area, it definitely wouldn’t have gotten far.

Besides, he still had his domain. Within a thirty feet radius, he had full perception.

About half an hour later, Shi Hao’s eyes brightened.

Found it.

On the seabed ahead, a completely black Sea Thorn was lying on the fine sand. According to the description given by Su Manman, this was indeed a highly toxic Sea Thorn.

Shi Hao swam over, making no sound at all.

With his strength, and especially since he was deliberately quiet, how could an ordinary Sea Thorn detect him?

Upon getting close, he unleashed a Soul Shock, immediately knocking the poor little fellow unconscious, flipping it onto its belly.

Shi Hao surfaced with the Sea Thorn, a smile on his face. If used well, this thing could even cause a warrior from the Supplementing Divine Temple to capsize in the gutter.

He returned to the raft, then had Su Manman store the Sea Thorn in the Immortal Abode, which of course was no big deal for that place.

They continued drifting, and for most of the time, Shi Hao hid in the Immortal Abode refining Formic Acid, his body growing stronger each day.

About two months later, just as Shi Hao finished his training session in Formic Acid and emerged from the water, he suddenly realized that his body was covered in black stuff, looking dirty.

Upon closer inspection, it included skin fragments and bone dust.

Shi Hao was overjoyed, the bone cleansing and marrow refining were completed.
