Chapter 1050 Almost all the sea serpent eggs have awakened the Azure Poison Vein
Sea snake eggs are relatively numerous among the eggs of these sea creatures.
Moreover, almost all of these sea serpent eggs have awakened the Azure Poison Vein, like sleeping dragons poised to unleash their power.
Before my eyes, the sea snake egg was gradually becoming transparent, and the outline of the small snake curled up inside was clearly visible, like a beautiful painting.
Its entire body is covered with fine silver lines. The venom sac inside the egg is like a pale purple vesicle. As the embryo develops, it slowly pulsates, permeating a small amount of venom onto the surface of the eggshell, forming an indestructible venom membrane to resist the attack of predators.
As the baby snake wriggles inside the egg, its head strikes the eggshell repeatedly like a drumstick. Each strike is as thunderous as a thunderclap, causing the concentration of venom on the eggshell to increase continuously. At the same time, it absorbs sulfides from the seawater, making the venom as hot as flames and giving it the properties of high-temperature burning.
The eggshell developed spiderweb-like cracks due to the impact of the small snake. The cracks spread like a spiderweb, and the pale blue venom seeping out of the cracks looked like blue sprites dancing, dyeing the surrounding seawater light blue and forming a "poisonous fog circle," which acted as a barrier to drive away predators.
The moment it hatches, the little snake sprang out its head like lightning, using its sharp upper jaw teeth to slash through the eggshell like a sword. Its body glided out lightly like a ribbon, and upon landing, it immediately curled into a ball, like a blue gemstone, shining with a mysterious light. It sprayed venom like a fountain into an area within 1 meter around it, completing the feat of "breaking out of the shell and establishing its dominance".
The newly hatched sea snake, its body shrouded in lingering, eerie blue poisonous mist, resembled a mysterious and captivating spirit emerging from a deep-sea secret realm.
These sea snakes are only about 30 centimeters long and less than an adult's thumb. Their bodies are like perfect streamlined works of art. Their limbless bodies are as smooth as oil-soaked silk, but hidden on their bellies are three pairs of almost invisible translucent fin-like protrusions—traces left by the sea snake's ancestors. Like agile wings, they can precisely control their direction when swimming, allowing them to shuttle through the ocean currents like arrows.
Its body is covered with a layer of fine scales. The scales are not solid-colored, but rather have a dark blue base with silver-like patterns. These patterns are like a galaxy woven on the skin, shimmering with dazzling light. As the body moves, they ripple like the surface of a lake.
Especially near the venom sac on the neck, the silver veins converge into a rhomboid patch, like a dazzling gem set in the neck. In the center of the patch is a tiny black dot, the size of a pinhead, which is its "thermal sensor," like a keen detector that can capture temperature changes as small as one ten-thousandth in the deep sea.
The scales have serrated edges, yet are exceptionally flexible. This reduces seawater resistance, prevents damage when rubbing against rocks, and can even stand up slightly to form a defensive barrier when attacked.
The heads of small sea snakes are flat and triangular, with sharp, cone-shaped snouts that allow them to penetrate the scales of prey or crevices in rocks.
Its two eyes are round and black, like two obsidian stones soaked in blue ink. The pupils are vertical slits that can freely adjust the amount of light entering the eyes in the dark environment of the deep sea. Even in low-light areas below 100 meters, it can clearly lock onto the outline of its prey.
A ring of silver patterns encircled its eyes, like eyeliner, giving it a more eerie look.
Hidden on either side of the upper jaw are a pair of hollow fangs, about three centimeters long, with sharp tips like scalpels. They are usually placed against the inside of the mouth, but will pop out instantly when hunting. The roots of the fangs are connected to the venom sacs on the neck, and the pale purple venom inside the sacs is slowly pulsating with the heartbeat, exuding a deadly allure.
Its tail is its most distinctive feature, with a sudden flattening at the end that unfolds into a crescent-shaped tail fin. The edges of the tail fin are also covered with silver patterns, making it look like a small fan adorned with starlight when unfolded.
These tail fins are its power core; when they swing, they generate powerful thrust, allowing it to burst at a speed of eight meters per second over a short distance, making it even faster than an adult sea snake.
When they first hatch, their tail fins have a faint translucent quality. As they swim, they gradually become tougher, and the silver stripes become clearer.
The skin of the small sea snake is covered with a thin layer of mucus, a protective layer inherited from the venom membrane of the eggshell. The mucus contains trace amounts of venom, and those who touch it will feel a tingling sensation on their skin. It can both protect against bacterial invasion and deter small predators.
As it swims, its body sways in an "S" shape, its movements light and elegant, yet each bend conceals a deadly burst of power—though still immature, it already possesses all the qualities of a deep-sea hunter. Its deep blue body flashes across the seawater, leaving only a silver afterimage, as if it had never appeared, or as if it had long been the natural master of this deep sea.
Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng stared at them silently, truly having their eyes opened this time.
Su Xiaoya was extremely averse to snakes. To be precise, very few girls wouldn't be repulsed by cold, slippery worms.
However, after traveling to Qingyuan Star for so long, Su Xiaoya has seen quite a few snakes, and her aversion to snakes is not as strong as before.
Witnessing the entire process of sea snake eggs hatching firsthand gave her a unique perspective on snakes.
Perhaps it's because I've witnessed the wonder of life firsthand.
Now, the two are even more excited about the mirage eggs that are about to hatch.
It can be said that sea mirage eggs are the most "mysterious" eggs in the deep sea.
It has no fixed shape and mostly floats in the "phantom fog zone" at a depth of thousands of meters in the ocean—a fluorescent fog secreted by plankton.
The "Mist Zone" resembles a semi-solidified mass of mercury, about eight centimeters in diameter, with iridescent spots flowing across its surface. It perfectly mimics the colors of its surroundings—it turns pink when it encounters coral, grayish-brown when it encounters rocks, and instantly fades to black when it encounters predators, blending seamlessly with the seawater.
Looking through the translucent eggshell, there was no physical embryo inside the egg, only a cloud of light mist that kept changing shape. At the center of the light mist was a golden core the size of a grain of rice, which was the "phantom core" formed by the condensation of mirage energy.
The phantom core slowly absorbed the fluorescence, and the light mist gradually became denser, beginning to simulate the forms of the surrounding organisms inside the egg—sometimes turning into small fish, sometimes into seaweed, and even simulating the appearance of a human.
The simulated light fog is becoming clearer and is beginning to possess "micro-illusion power," which can create subtle illusions in the seawater outside the eggshell—for example, allowing passing small fish to see the phantom of their companions.
The light mist spun rapidly inside the egg, and the golden phantom core emitted a dazzling light. After attracting all the fluorescence of the phantom mist into the egg, it instantly "exploded," and the light mist bloomed like fireworks, condensing into the shape of a small sea mirage in the seawater.
The small sea clam is as transparent as crystal, with flowing light spots shimmering on its surface. Its outline is like flowing clouds and water, without a fixed shape, and it can transform into the appearance of any creature at any time.
Initially, it maintains its form for about ten minutes, but this time will gradually increase as it grows.
At the moment of hatching, the Phantom Core is like a generous mentor, directly infusing its consciousness with the "Phantom Scripture Memories" of its ancestors like a clear spring.
This contains morphological data of thousands of organisms, "emotional formulas" for creating illusions—for example, using three parts fear and two parts curiosity to weave an alluring decoy illusion, and even how to cleverly use illusions to distort the refractive index of seawater to achieve "invisibility."
The little sea mirage was in its element from the very first time it created illusions, and it was able to accurately strike the target's emotional weakness on its first attempt. This inheritance is more like a "pre-installed illusion system" that allows it to easily master advanced illusions without having to learn them.
The ultimate "mimicry ability" can not only perfectly simulate the appearance of living organisms, but also replicate their breath, sounds, and even faint abilities—such as simulating the fluorescence of a bioluminescent jellyfish;
It can keenly sense the emotional fluctuations of living beings, and like a hunter, it can hunt or avoid danger by creating targeted illusions—such as plunging prey that fears the dark into an abyss of endless darkness.
Its body can become ethereal, allowing it to pass through obstacles such as rocks and corals like a ghost, and it is immune to physical attacks.
Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng were stunned. The hatching process of the sea mirage was simply miraculous and breathtaking.
Just as they were immersed in the wonder of the mirage, suddenly, the surrounding seawater began to roar violently, like a startled beast.
Su Xiaoya's fingertips still held the fine mist of light that had splashed up when the clams broke open. The mist was like twinkling stars, cool and smooth as jade when it landed on her palm, carrying the unique, crisp scent of the deep sea.
But the warmth in their palms was instantly washed away by a bone-chilling cold—the surrounding seawater seemed to have been thrown into a blazing hot iron, boiling instantly. Huge waves surged around them like a stampede of horses, while undercurrents, like countless ferocious snakes, darted wildly through the water.
“That’s… a deep-sea devil shark!” Yu Shuheng’s pupils shrank, and his voice carried a hint of imperceptible solemnity, as if one could hear the turbulent waves in his heart.
He conjured a pale blue spiritual energy barrier at his fingertips, like an indestructible shield, protecting Su Xiaoya behind him, his gaze fixed like that of a hawk on the shadows approaching from the darkness.
