After diving for several minutes, the Merfolk Queen suddenly stopped moving forward.
Luo Feng was also startled by this abrupt halt.
He turned his gaze toward Ariel.
Noticing Luo Feng's look, Ariel's expression turned grim as she slowly spoke, "Master, it seems there really is another creature near that treasure—not far from us. I can sense it... and this creature is enormous."
Hearing this, Luo Feng's expression darkened as well.
It looked like another battle was imminent.
However, fighting underwater didn't play to Luo Feng's strengths.
At great depths, his vision was severely limited, making him vulnerable to ambushes by sea creatures.
After all, these animals weren't going to fight fair.
Still, Luo Feng wasn't overly panicked—he had plenty of tools at his disposal. One in particular would be useful right now.
He retrieved his Legendary Telescope and held it up to his eyes, scanning the waters ahead.
The moment the Legendary Telescope came into focus, his vision sharpened dramatically.
Clearer. Farther.
Then, Luo Feng's face abruptly twisted in shock.
Through the lens, he saw a massive electric eel, three to four meters long, swimming restlessly.
And beneath that Giant Electric Eel—a glowing white sphere.
Luo Feng recognized it instantly: this luminous orb had to be the treasure Ariel mentioned.
But the sight of the Giant Electric Eel gave him pause.
Would he really need to use another Legendary Size-Altering Golden Banana?
That would be... wasteful.
Spending one of his precious few Size-Adjusting Golden Bananas just for this treasure? Unacceptable.
What if the treasure's value didn't even match that of a Legendary Size-Altering Golden Banana? Luo Feng would be furious.
After some thought, he decided against using it now. This was his trump card—not to be squandered lightly.
The last time he'd used one, it was for two reasons:
First, to see what that tree was actually bearing.
Second, to test the effects of the Legendary Size-Altering Golden Banana.
Now that he knew just how powerful it was, he wouldn't use it recklessly.
With that settled, Luo Feng gestured for Ariel to take hold of his Legendary Telescope.
Understanding immediately, she reached out and steadied it for him.
Now with both hands free, Luo Feng prepared for something big.
With a thought, a Legendary Cloud-Piercing Bow and a single Legendary Cloud-Piercing Arrow materialized in his grasp.
That's right—Luo Feng intended to shoot an arrow underwater.
If anyone had told him, before today, that underwater archery was possible, he would've laughed in their face.
Yet here he was, about to attempt it.
A Legendary Cloud-Piercing Bow and Arrow were no joke.
The howling winds, torrential rain, and flashing lightning could not possibly affect Luo Feng's archery.
The combination of his master-level archery skills and the Legendary Cloud-Piercing Bow was truly astonishing in power.
When Ariel saw what Luo Feng had taken out, her expression changed, as if recalling something deeply unpleasant.
This was because Merfolk were often hunted by others using bows and arrows.
Thus, the Merfolk harbored a deep hatred for such weapons—even a degree of fear and dread.
However, as the Merfolk Queen, she wasn't overly afraid.
Moreover, the one wielding the bow now was her master, so she had even less reason to worry.
Seeing this situation, Ariel thought for a moment before speaking. "Master, are you planning to shoot underwater?
Usually, when others hunt with bows and arrows, they target prey on the ocean's surface.
That's because once these arrows enter the water, their speed and trajectory are greatly affected.
As a result, their lethality drops significantly—
They may not achieve the desired effect."
Hearing this, Luo Feng nodded in acknowledgment.
However, he didn't immediately use the Cloud-Piercing Bow to shoot.
After all, underwater conditions would indeed hinder its effectiveness—it was better to get closer.
Only then could the Cloud-Piercing Arrow unleash its full power.
With this in mind, Luo Feng signaled to Ariel that they should continue forward.
Understanding his intent, she immediately complied, advancing slowly.
Since it was her master's will, she naturally wouldn't refuse.
After moving forward some distance, Ariel suddenly stopped.
She had spotted a Giant Electric Eel swimming not far ahead.
As the Merfolk Queen, her abilities in water were not diminished—in fact, they were enhanced.
Thus, her underwater vision was exceptionally sharp.
At that moment, she spoke up. "Master, I've found the Giant Electric Eel.
Do you see it?"
Now less than two hundred meters from the eel, Luo Feng could clearly observe its body through his Legendary Telescope.
To his surprise, he could even see faint traces of electricity flickering across the eel's form.
It seemed this Giant Electric Eel was fully charged.
Just as Luo Feng was studying the creature, the eel also turned its gaze toward him and Ariel.
Clearly, it had sensed the presence of other beings in this direction.
However, the Giant Electric Eel didn't act rashly.
Instead, the electricity coursing over its body intensified rapidly.
Soon, the eel had truly become a living storm—
Its entire form crackled with flowing currents of lightning.
Witnessing this, Luo Feng couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.
Indeed, the creatures of the ocean were anything but simple.
If he were to get shocked by this Giant Electric Eel—
Whether he'd survive or not was uncertain, but one thing was guaranteed: it would be an electrifying experience.
If Professor Yang, the so-called "Lightning King," were to see this, he'd probably be thrilled.
Just bringing this Giant Electric Eel before him—
Forget about getting shocked—
The mere sight of such a colossal eel would likely cure internet addiction on the spot.
Luo Feng didn't dwell on it any longer and began preparing to draw his bow and shoot.
Because underwater, Luo Feng could only hold his breath for ten minutes.
Once those ten minutes passed, he would have to kiss the Merfolk Queen to continue diving.
