Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)

Chapter 428: Enemies in the Dark

Lin Yuan was currently puzzled. How could the damaged corpses of Gold water world dimensional lifeforms appear on this shore?

After they died, their flesh would soon rot and sink to the bottom of the sea. The marine feys in the ocean consist of animal-species, plant-species, and insect-species marine feys. After the water world dimensional lifeforms’ flesh rot, the fishy smell would also become highly toxic.

Most of the animal-species feys among the marine feys didn’t like to eat it. However, the flesh of these dead and rotten water world dimensional lifeforms was a feast for the plant and insect-species feys among the marine feys.

Therefore, it was unusual that the flesh of Gold water world dimensional lifeforms would be found on the shore.

The only possibility Lin Yuan could think of was that the Gold water world dimensional lifeforms had been blasted to death at a location very close to the shore.

The sudden blast must have made the flesh still carry the strong cell vitality when it was detached from the Gold water world dimensional lifeforms’ bodies.

When the Gold water world dimensional lifeforms’ flesh with strong cellular activity was washed to the shore by the waves, it had also happened to be discovered by the two spirit qi professionals with Platinum feys that Listen had sent out.

At the time of discovery, the cellular activity in these Gold water world dimensional lifeforms’ flesh was considered to have completely disappeared. The rotting must have begun to take place, just not yet fully rotten.

Lin Yuan had seen with his own eyes the rotting speed of the water world dimensional lifeforms’ flesh.

When the two spirit qi professionals Listen had sent out had seen the Gold water world dimensional lifeforms’ flesh at the shore, the dimensional lifeform should’ve just died.

The marine feys distributed in the coasted shallow sea were weak, so it was hard to completely block the opened water world dimensional rift. Hence, the water world dimensional lifeforms would attack the cities on the shore.

This required the spirit qi professionals living close to the shallow sea near the shore to step in to fight against the water world dimensional lifeforms that wreaked havoc on the shore.

However, what puzzled Lin Yuan the most was that Indigo Azure City’s residents were not even aware of the water world dimensional rift.

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and asked Listen, “Are there many feys in this shallow near-shore sea under the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s control that can effectively resist the water world dimensional rift?

“Have there been any cases of water world dimensional lifeforms attacking the shore?”

Listen immediately answered, “Back then, my grandfather and father had chosen to use the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s entire resources to take control of this shallow near-shore sea because there were extremely many shellfish feys in it.

“The shells, meat, and pearls these shellfish feys contain are all high-quality resources. The shellfish feys’ attacking ability is not strong. Due to their numbers, they are the plankton’s predators.

“Therefore, most marine feys rely on shellfish feys to survive.

“The Beak-Billed Spiny Fish and the Shellfish-Eating Armored Turtles have more numbers than the rest marine feys.

“Although the Beak-Billed Spiny Fish and Shellfish-Eating Armored Turtles are ferocious when it comes to the shellfish feys, they are the water world dimensional lifeforms’ prey.

“However, due to the numerous Beak-Billed Spiny Fish, there’s also a large group of Tail-Cutting Shadow Sharks that feed on them in this sea.”

When Lin Yuan heard this, he knew that this shallow near-shore sea was very dangerous.

Unfortunately, the local marine feys were destined to be unable to effectively resist the feys that emerged from the water world dimensional rift.

The Tail-Cutting Shadow Sharks were a group of very special ferocious feys in the sea. Their existence meant that there wouldn’t be large predators in this sea.

The school of Tail-Cutting Shadow Sharks would be the first to remove any threats to their own lives in their territory.

If large predators existed in this sea, it would mean that they had killed the school of Tail-Cutting Shadow Sharks.

There was only one school of Tail-Cutting Shadow Sharks in the sea, even if they were extremely strong individually.

Due to the limited numbers, their suppressive power against the numerous water world dimensional lifeforms was too small.

Even if these Tail-Cutting Shadow Sharks were to madly kill, they could not wipe out a small half of the water world dimensional lifeforms.

At that moment, Listen added, “In the earlier years, this shallow near-shore sea would be invaded by water world dimensional lifeforms once or twice almost every month. As long as the water world dimensional rift remains open, it will not be peaceful.”

Listen’s tone became extremely grave.

“However, three years ago, the invasion of the water world dimensional lifeforms never happened.”

Lin Yuan felt that everything became more bizarre. He thought for a long time but still couldn’t make sense of it. It seemed that he still needed to explore the shallow near-shore sea under the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s control to unravel the truth.

Lin Yuan glanced at the Mother of Bloodbath and Endless Summer and said, “Endless Summer, Mother of Bloodbath, you two hide in the shadows first when we arrive at Indigo Azure City. If no one’s life is in danger, you need not make a move.”

After learning that the two spirit qi professionals Listen had sent out had died, Lin Yuan started feeling that the Zheng family was not the only one coveting the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s shallow near-shore sea.

Since a pinnacle king-class expert from the Zheng family had come to the Royal Capital and made a move on the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce, attempting to kill Listen, this meant that the Zheng family was determined to get this shallow near-shore sea.

The Zheng family did not need to kill these two spirit qi professionals who were scouting at the shallow near-shore sea.

These two spirit qi professionals with Platinum feys had most likely found a secret that absolutely couldn’t be divulged.

If they wanted to kill these two spirit qi professionals and not let them have a chance to convey the message back to Listen, that person must be at least at the level of Fei Qianqiong.

The Zheng family was in the light, while Lin Yuan was in the dark. Although the Zheng family was strong, they were a visible enemy to Lin Yuan. Often, the enemy in the dark was the most terrifying.

It was just like Young Master Zheng in the Royal Capital, who had learned he had lost a pinnacle king-class expert. He would probably not be able to sleep peacefully during this period.

What made Lin Yuan feel a little troubled was that if other people were coveting the shallow near-shore sea in the dark beside the Zheng family, then these enemies in the dark were an unknown hidden danger.

After the Zheng family had made a move on the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce, this faction in the dark still coveted the shallow near-shore sea. In other words, this faction certainly had the power to fight against the Zheng family.

The Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s shallow near-shore sea didn’t have legs and wouldn’t run. If there was no absolute support of power, they simply couldn’t snatch it from the Zheng family.
