Apocalypse Gachapon

This was the water-avoiding pearl.

It differed from those overpowered treasures in books and movies where one pearl could make you overpowered. This thing that occasionally formed in the bodies of ocean lifeforms wasn’t so strong.

It only had one function. It formed a thin layer on the wearer's body and helped to give warmth and oxygen and reduce water resistance.

Moreover, the Water Avoidance Pearl wasn’t eternal. Its energy would be consumed slowly until it was destroyed.

It was a one-time-use item.

He had the Ocean King Crown but couldn’t give himself the mark, so he kept this pearl.Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by Noᴠᴇꜰɪre.nᴇt

He wanted to use it as a material to see if he could implant it on equipment. He didn’t expect himself to use it here.

After activating the pearl, Ye Zhongming felt much warmer. It was as if he was split from the river, and the resistance was greatly reduced. He could even breathe. But after every breath, the tightness from that thin layer increased a little to remind him that he couldn’t breathe freely.

It was dark, but he wasn’t afraid. He placed some luminous powder sacs on his shoulders. It was a material from an ocean lifeform that would shine when it touched water. Although it had a limited time, like the water-avoiding pearl, it was enough for Ye Zhongming to spend a long time underwater.

Ye Zhongming continued to head down while being wary. He observed the water flow and the surrounding situation. Although the luminous powder sac allowed him to see, it made him eye-catching. He might get sneak attacked at any moment.

His senses in the water were restricted, which made him very careful.

He recalled what Yang Yixi had told him about this place, and he swam against the current.

The water world was different from life on the surface. Ye Zhongming could sense many lifeforms but wasn’t sure if they were plants or animals as their energy was too weak.

He didn’t know if it was because the monsters were hunted for several months. He was here for 20 minutes but didn’t see any group of fish.

He couldn’t help but be a little anxious. If this situation continued, he would have to return to the surface. Even with the help of the pearl, he couldn’t spend too long underwater. He could spend an hour at most if one included his evolved body quality.

He had to return after half an hour.

An hour underwater was an amazing record compared to ordinary people who could survive for 4-7 minutes.

But for some reason, he still couldn’t find any Star Sunflower Fish after half an hour.

He lamented that he was unlucky before heading back.

But the moment he turned, he felt numerous killing intent surging from near him. They were so quick and would arrive in a few seconds.

Ye Zhongming turned around. He wasn’t overconfident. He took out the crystal energy gun and fired.

He wouldn't do that if he were on land, as he had many ways to deal with them. But he was in the water and an unknown domain. Accidents might happen at any moment, so he planned to use his strongest attack to solve the situation.

The bullets with electric energy shot into a ball of lifeforms. Ye Zhongming felt some things being ripped apart. He didn’t look carefully and fired the second shot in another direction.

After those two shots, those things got close. Ye Zhongming was delighted as he saw a Star Sunflower Fishes school attacking him.

They had learned how to deal with the humans that were hunting them. They would hide from the shore, and after the humans swam a distance, they would attack when they tried to swim back.

They had an accurate grasp of timing in their home ground.

Moreover, Ye Zhongming quickly understood how problematic these fellows were. After Ye Zhongming stopped their sneak attack, the fish with different levels used their agility to spread about. Moreover, they didn’t attack. They wanted to trap this human.

These mutated fishes were very intelligent.

Only now did Ye Zhongming have time to see what these mutated fishes look like.

Rather than say that they were fishes, they were more like eels. But their bodies were rounder and wider, so they looked like pillars sliced at differing lengths.

Ice-cold black eyes, shining metallic gills, and screw-like tails that spun quickly and gave them strong momentum. They were covered in grey scales that had wave-like patterns. There was silver light among the patterns, probably giving them their name.

What was most terrifying was their heads. They were spiral-shaped and had a 20-centimeter horn that was sharp. Moreover, their mouths were filled with sharp teeth, making them similar to sharks.

Maybe it was because humans hunted them over the last two months. Ye Zhongming saw that none were level two or below; the lowest was level three. There were thousands of them.

There were a few hundred level-four ones; no wonder it was harder for humans to hunt them underwater.

Of course, what Ye Zhongming cared most about were the level-five fishes. He glanced and calmed down. There were 12 of them! Moreover, they were split into six pairs that led six schools.

Although they weren’t as huge as mutated lifeforms on the ground, they were as big as mature pigs. Even if the fish had less blood, 2-3 was enough.

It was better than nothing.

Ye Zhongming estimated the pearl and his state and adjusted his breathing to extend his time underwater.

The Star Sunflower Fishes attacked after surrounding Ye Zhongming. They were experienced, and their talent and skills flew from all directions.

The frontline thrust their spikes right at Ye Zhongming. A silver light shone on their bodies. Those at the back opened their mouths and spat out ice balls covered in silver spots.

Forward Thrust!

Star Ice Lightning!
