Nie Yan swam into the currents . He felt the surging water sweeping up against his body .
He took out his Silk Spinner Ring and gradually released a web line, which floated forward under the influence of the flowing water .
The web line resembled the plants, swaying back and forth with the currents .
The longer the web line grew, the harder it became to control .
Nie Yan carefully guided the web line forward, meticulously paying attention to its every movement .
One meter, two meters, three meters… thankfully the currents here weren’t too chaotic . Soon, the web line gew to six meters long . The thin strand of silk slowly drifted toward Sulgata’s Feather .
Just as Nie Yan was about to succeed, the three Sea Demons appeared to sense something and gazed over in his direction .
Nie Yan hurriedly held his breath and stopped what he was doing .
The three Sea Demons only spotted a long strand of silk floating in the water . With their meager intelligence, they couldn’t figure out its use . They stared at it with vacant expressions before returning to an idle state .
Seeing the three Sea Demons turn away, Nie Yan breathed a sigh of relief . “Thank god they didn’t swim over to investigate . ”
Nie Yan continued to extend the web line . At about 10 meters, it was already long enough to touch Sulgata’s Feather .
He had no way of controlling the web line’s direction . He could only slightly tug and pull at the thread, praying luck was on his side .
The web line swayed in random directions, having almost made contact with Sulgata’s Feather several times, only to be swept aside at the last second .
Nie Yan made several attempts . As he released the web line into the currents one more time, it sped along toward Sulgata’s Feather . However, it looked like it wouldn’t properly stick . He couldn’t stay underwater for much longer, 10 minutes at most . Even if he succeeded, he would still have to escape the pursuit of the three Sea Demons .
“I can’t waste any more time!” Nie Yan gritted his teeth . He took a deep breath and focused his mind . Paying close attention to the flow of the currents, he maneuvered the web line to the best of his ability . With a light thwick, it stuck onto Sulgata’s Feather .
As the line went taut, Nie Yan immediately hooked his finger around the strand of silk and flicked his wrist . Instantly, the web line went up, down, and around Sulgata’s Feather, becoming more and more entangled .
Nie Yan jerked his hand back, reeling in the web line with Sulgata’s Feather in tow .
At this moment, the three Sea Demons were alerted . They let out an ear-piercing cry . The sharp sound caused Nie Yan’s eardrums to tremble as he started hallucinating .
Mind Immune!
Nie Yan immediately snapped out of his daze, fear still lingering in his heart . “I almost lost consciousness there! A beat slower, and I would’ve been a goner for sure!”
As the web line retracted into his hand Nie Yan grabbed hold of Sulgata’s Feather . He had no time to put it away in his bag .
One of the Sea Demons charged forward, her sharp trident stabbing towards Nie Yan’s head .
Just as the attack was about to land, Nie Yan activated the Pygmy Ring . He instantly shrunk to a third of his original size .
The trident missed and struck the coral cluster . BOOM! Rubble and bits of coral muddled the water .
Nie Yan’s face paled in fright . Seeing the other two Sea Demons closing in on him from both sides, he quickly kicked his leg and tunneled into crevices between the corals . His body was small, so he had no problem passing through .
After turning small, Nie Yan could freely travel in the small passageways that existed within the coral reef .
Seeing Nie Yan slip away, the Sea Demons repeatedly struck the coral clusters with their tridents .
BANG! BANG! BANG! Their ferocious attacks devastated the coral reef .
Nie Yan fled for dear life, shuttling through the passages between the corals .
It was a game of cat and mouse . The three Sea Demons spread out to find traces of Nie Yan . Even when they spotted him, with him nimbly tunneling here and there, none of their attacks connected .
Finding such a small person within this lush coral reef was incredibly difficult .
Nie Yan checked his status . He could only stay underwater for six more minutes . The three Sea Demons were still in hot pursuit . He had to flee faster!
Nie Yan activated Shadow Waltz and buffed himself with several other stealth enhancing skills . His silhouette gradually faded into the shadows cast by the coral reef .
The three Sea Demons looked all over . However, it was as though Nie Yan had vanished into thin air . He was nowhere to be found . After searching for a while longer, they could only helplessly turn back .
About five minutes later, Nie Yan exited the coral reef . He was outside of the teleportation restricted zone . He glanced at his inventory . Items like his Unknown Transfer Scroll and Return Scrolls were no longer grayed out .
As the effects of his Underwater Breathing Potion were about to wear off, Nie Yan took out a Return Scroll .
The Return Scroll glowed with a brilliant light .
The clock ticked away, one second, two seconds, three seconds . . .
Nie Yan suddenly found breathing become more and more difficult . He held his breath . A powerful force descended on his body . This was the water pressure at the bottom of the lake . As he started running out of breath, his vision grew increasingly blurry . “Dammit, don’t tell me I’m going to die here…? What horrible luck . ”
Suddenly, a brilliant light dazzled his eyes . The Return Scroll had activated .
Nie Yan gradually regained consciousness . As he opened his eyes, he was already back in Calore . Since he was at the bottom of a lake just a moment ago, he felt a sharp pain course through his entire body . Luckily, he still returned alive .
After resting for a bit, he finally regained his strength . Looking at his hand, Sulgata’s Feather was still bundled up tightly in his web line .
Nie Yan slowly untangled the web line . Pulling out Sulgata’s Feather, he examined its properties . Sulgata’s Feather (Legendary Fragment)
Description: A fragment of Sulgata’s Shadow . This feather is brimming with a mysterious magical power .
Properties: Strength +80, Dexterity +120
Nie Yan put away Sulgata’s Feather . He also took off Sulgata’s Cloth Boots and placed it beside Sulgata’s Feather in his bag . With a dazzling light, the two items gradually merged together .
A few seconds later, the light faded away .
A pair of exquisite boots appeared before Nie Yan’s eyes . They were completely black and weaved out of a delicate silk while also sporting a sleek and flashy design . The edges were covered in mysterious runes . This was the style of the Dark Era . These runes represented an ancient history .
Sulgata’s Shadow was finally complete!
Nie Yan was a bit moved . After spending so much time, he had finally acquired these Legendary-grade boots!
