Moreover, hearing Ariel describe it as a special treasure, Luo Feng's interest was immediately piqued by the word "special."
Previously, those special treasure chests had contained many valuable items.
Now, with a special treasure here—one that even Ariel, the Merfolk Queen, considered extraordinary—Luo Feng was even more intrigued.
Thinking this, Luo Feng spoke up, "I'll continue deeper. I'm very curious about special treasures. But wait for me—I need to collect the Giant Electric Eel's corpse first."
With that, Luo Feng approached the remains of the Giant Electric Eel.
At this point, the eel's head had already been blown off by Luo Feng's Exploding Arrow, leaving only its body twitching sporadically.
Though the Giant Electric Eel was dead, it wasn't entirely lifeless yet.
Luo Feng observed the corpse, which was still discharging massive amounts of electricity.
Faced with such a situation, he wasn't foolish enough to recklessly grab the eel's body with his bare hands.
Instead, he waited patiently for the electric currents on the eel's body to gradually dissipate.
This wait lasted a full three minutes.
Only when the electricity had completely faded, leaving behind what now appeared to be an ordinary Giant Electric Eel, did Luo Feng dare to act.
He cautiously prodded the corpse several times with his Epic Quality Spear.
After confirming beyond any doubt that the eel's remains posed no threat, Luo Feng finally reached out with his right hand to touch it.
Given how much he valued his life, he couldn't afford to be careless.
As his fingers made contact, Luo Feng could still feel faint traces of electricity coursing through the eel's body.
At that very moment, the game system's notification echoed in his mind:
"Acquired Good Grade Giant Electric Eel: +1"
Thousandfold Reward:
"Acquired Outstanding Grade Giant Electric Eel: +100"
[Giant Electric Eel]
Grade: Outstanding
Weight: 1,000 kg
Description: This eel's corpse is not primarily for consumption but for power generation. Every piece of its flesh contains vast amounts of electricity. Attempting to eat it without an exceptionally resilient mouth will leave you thoroughly electrocuted. If the electrical energy within the eel's flesh is properly harnessed, a single small piece can power a lightbulb for five months.
Luo Feng was utterly stunned by the description.
A single small piece of the Giant Electric Eel's meat could illuminate a bulb for five months—and this eel weighed a full 1,000 kg.
That was a staggering 2,000 jin!
And now, Luo Feng had a hundred of these Giant Electric Eels.
He had truly struck gold this time.
With these eels, the power supply for his Epic Ship would be secured.
A single Outstanding Grade Giant Electric Eel alone could likely keep his Epic Ship running at full speed for months without issue.
Luo Feng was immensely satisfied with this outcome.
Now, when he set out tomorrow to find Tang Xueying, he could travel at even greater speeds.
After storing the headless Outstanding-grade Giant Electric Eel before him, Luo Feng turned to Ariel and said, "Let's continue deeper."
Hearing Luo Feng's words, Ariel took the lead and continued their descent.
Soon, they reached 100 meters underwater.
200 meters underwater.
500 meters underwater.
At such depths, Luo Feng couldn't help but feel a creeping unease.
This was his first time venturing so deep into the ocean.
And he was doing it purely with his physical body, without any special equipment.
Seeing Avril still descending further, Luo Feng spoke up, "How much farther is it? Is that treasure very far from us? If it's too deep, maybe we should stop for now. After all, who knows what terrifying creatures might lurk in the deep sea."
Although Luo Feng's current strength wasn't weak, and he could use the Size-Adjusting Golden Banana to transform, encountering a creature hundreds of meters long in the deep ocean would make his 18-meter height barely enough to be a snack for such beings.
This wasn't just baseless speculation—the Giant Electric Eel he'd just encountered was only a Good-grade creature. If he ran into an Epic or Legendary-grade creature, Luo Feng might not even be able to escape.
For the sake of his own life, Luo Feng knew when to retreat.
After a moment of silence, Ariel responded, "We're about a hundred meters away. From what I can sense, there aren't any major dangerous creatures around here. Master, you don't need to worry too much. We Merfolk are quite skilled in this regard. If there's danger, I'll warn you."
Hearing this, Luo Feng secretly sighed in relief. Since they'd come this far, another hundred meters wouldn't make much difference. It was worth continuing to investigate.
"Alright," Luo Feng said, "let's go deeper. I wonder what kind of treasure we'll find at these depths?"
At 666 meters underwater, Luo Feng could now see a faintly glowing object. However, he didn't rush toward it, instead quickly scanning the surroundings for any guardian creatures.
After looking around, he found no animals seemed interested in the glowing object—just some ordinary deep-sea fish that appeared completely unremarkable. This puzzled Luo Feng; treasures usually had guardian creatures nearby. Why was there nothing here?
Noticing Luo Feng's confusion, Ariel smiled and explained, "Master, let's retrieve the treasure. The energy it emits is very weak, so larger creatures probably wouldn't value it. But from what I can sense, it contains a trace of very special energy. Only someone like me could detect this energy—most Merfolk wouldn't even notice it."
Hearing this, Luo Feng grew intensely curious. Could he have actually stumbled upon something valuable this time?
Thinking of this, Luo Feng spoke up, "Then let's go take a look. What's so special about this treasure?"
Soon, Luo Feng and Ariel arrived before the treasure emitting an extremely faint glow.
When Luo Feng saw the object before him, he was completely stunned.
What lay before his eyes appeared to be a pebble.
The pebble was only about the size of a fingernail.
If not for Ariel leading the way, Luo Feng might never have noticed this tiny stone.
