That is Merfolk in the deep sea, entangled and circling around as if guarding something.
If one looks closely, they would see a blurry humanoid figure amidst the Merfolk enveloped in blue light.
Upon witnessing such a bizarre sight in the Abyss, almost simultaneously, everyone’s heart skipped a beat.
Ajie poked a younger True Thought Society salvage worker beside him with the rifle he held.
The young man’s face showed fear, and he shook his head vigorously.
Clearly, he had no idea what was happening.
Frowning, Ajie relayed the strange scene he witnessed through the walkie-talkie to the emissary.
"Use the Subsonic Gun to drive away the Merfolk and quickly salvage the object!"
Li Chengjun’s order came through the walkie-talkie, his tone urgent and strict.
Reluctantly, Ajie had no choice but to comply.
The oxygen in the tank was running low; any further delay would be problematic.
Other team members had already received the order, pulling out their weapons and preparing for battle.
One of them even lifted a specially shaped rifle, aiming at the cluster of blue light in the Abyss.
As the trigger was pulled, no physical ammunition was fired from the muzzle, but instead, a high-strength directional subsonic wave was emitted.
The low-frequency harmful sound wave rapidly propagated through the water, forming tiny ripples, spreading to a depth of over one hundred fifty meters.
The school of Merfolk suddenly emitted a low, sharp wailing and then abruptly dispersed.
Then, the true nature of the object emitting the deep blue light was finally revealed.
Fragments of massive skeletal remains resembling monster bones, suspended in the pitch-black Abyss.
The emanating deep blue light was so peculiar that staring at it too long caused a slight stinging sensation.
Everyone’s eyes shone, overwhelmed with joy.
This must be the legendary Ancient Relics!
Ajie immediately instructed the True Thought Society members to hurry down for the salvage.
Three reluctant True Thought Society members risked a descent further into the depths.
At that moment, sounds similar to tides churning came from a fissure on the ocean floor, resembling thunder rolling in the silent, empty Abyss.
The sound waves pushed the heavy seawater, lifting layers of waves, dispersing the turbulent currents, and also swept the Ancient Relics towards the distance.
Seeing this, everyone couldn’t help but feel anxious.
However, the next second, everyone was stunned in their places.
Because at that moment, the figure that was previously hidden within the blue light sphere revealed itself fully.
And became extremely clear.
It was a completely naked young man.
He stood quietly in the Abyss, suspended in the water.
The light from the searchlight, like drifting ribbons, softly brushed over his sculpted muscular contours.
Exhibiting an indescribable masculine beauty and a tranquil ambiance.
It was as if he was the Sea God from Ancient Greek sculptures, or a standing Buddha statue.
The Merfolk that were driven away, as if called upon, gradually returned.
Circling around him, like legendary demons and ghosts protecting gods.
This "Light Tunnel" stemming from the sea surface was established to welcome his emergence.
A Merfolk whispered gently into the man’s ear,
As though waking him up, yet also seemed to narrate something.
In this unreachable Dark Abyss, surrounded by light and demons, the scene was imbued with a distinct divinity.
It also rendered the onlookers simultaneously horrified and expectant, their emotions intertwined.
The man suddenly opened his eyes; his gaze, tangible, pierced through the layers of seawater, aiming at the onlookers.
