Chapter 447: The Terrifying Styx Jellyfish!

Ning Fei changed into his Diving Suit, sat on the edge of the yacht with his back to the water, and plunged in.

At the same time, he deployed the Tuna Submarine.

The live-stream's perspective immediately switched to the surface of the sea.

At this moment, the viewership in Ning Fei's live-stream room was incredibly high.

He was currently located in the Coral Sea, the longest and largest coral reef region in the world.

Ning Fei dove toward the depths of the ocean floor, sinking continuously downward.

The surrounding light was somewhat dim. Through the camera lens, the viewers couldn't see the water; they could only see Ning Fei swimming through a void of absolute darkness in his Diving Suit.

"Why do I feel like this scene is a bit creepy!"

"It's so dark around him, it does look kind of scary!"

"It feels like Temple Master Ning is descending into the netherworld."

"Good heavens. A Daoist priest exploring the underworld at night—it really has that vibe."

The netizens chatted animatedly.

Looking at the footage from the live-stream, it was exactly as they said.

Ning Fei's body was engulfed by the darkness, leaving everything else completely obscured.

If he hadn't been wearing a Diving Suit, people might have even believed he was flying through the night sky.

Just then, a tiny speck of light suddenly appeared ahead.

"What is that?"

A viewer exclaimed in shock.

Ning Fei continued his descent. Gradually, more and more blue lights began to appear.

As he went deeper, it wasn't just blue anymore; pale pink and deep purple lights also illuminated the seabed.

"They finally showed up—the bioluminescent jellyfish of the deep sea."

Ning Fei said in a relaxed tone from beneath the waves.

His Diving Suit featured an astronaut-style helmet integrated with the oxygen supply, allowing him to speak freely underwater.

"There are thousands of species of mollusks and invertebrates in these waters, and the number of bioluminescent jellyfish is especially high."

"However, many of these jellyfish are highly venomous. Coupled with the poor visibility at night, very few people ever capture footage of them in the dark."

Ning Fei swam forward, the Bionic Tuna following closely behind.

The Tuna zoomed in for a close-up on one of the jellyfish.

The viewers saw that this blue jellyfish looked like a mushroom cloud, floating quietly near the ocean floor. The various lines and organs inside its body were emitting a faint, eerie blue glow.

"So pretty!"

"It feels like a scene straight out of a video game."

"Right, a lot of games nowadays love using this kind of glowing aesthetic."

"Am I the only one who finds it a bit creepy? Looking out, it's just a sea of darkness with all these different colored glowing jellyfish floating around. I seriously feel like Temple Master Ning might have actually reached the underworld."

"The setting definitely looks the part."

"With Temple Master Ning here, what evil entity would dare approach?"

Ning Fei immersed himself in this world of jellyfish. According to the System's prompts, the group of Styx jellyfish was located even deeper down.

So, he continued his descent.

He swam right through the cluster of bioluminescence.

Through the camera, the downward movement made it look as though all the vividly colored jellyfish were rising up past him.

"Is Temple Master Ning still going down?"

With the jellyfish acting as reference points, the viewers could clearly see his downward progress.

"The coral should be right below, right?"

The viewers were starting to feel a bit frightened.

The light in the depths was growing dimmer and dimmer.

Very few bioluminescent jellyfish could be seen down here.

At that moment, the Tuna turned on its spotlights.

Under the Tuna's illumination, everyone could still see the water within a one-meter radius around Ning Fei.

Suddenly, every single viewer watching the live-stream felt their hearts lurch.

"Did you guys see that? That dark silhouette!"

"Fuck, that's terrifying!"

Just a short distance away on the screen, a humanoid shadow was floating in the water.

The dark figure was nearly two meters tall, hanging perfectly still in the current. A faint shroud of shadows could be seen rippling around it.

'It's here. The Styx jellyfish,'

Ning Fei thought to himself.

This was the System's quest.

Take a photo with the swarm of Styx jellyfish.

Ning Fei slowed his pace, carefully swimming toward the creature.

Aided by the Tuna's spotlights, the viewers finally got a clear look at the Styx jellyfish in its entirety.

It was a massive jellyfish with a bell diameter approaching one meter and tentacles nearly three meters long.

A portion of its tentacles hung limply downward, making it look uncannily like a human torso.

From a distance, this particular species looked exactly like the Grim Reaper drifting through the void.

"Holy shit! Are we really in the netherworld?"

"Did Temple Master Ning cross over into another dimension or something?!"

"Mighty Heavenly Dragon, Daluo Dharma Spell, begone evil spirits!"

"What a terrifying creature!"

The viewers felt a deep shudder run through their souls.

The Styx jellyfish was entirely blackish-red. Its tentacles were covered in dark, rag-like flaps, making it look genuinely horrifying.

At that moment, Ning Fei's calm voice echoed out, giving everyone a much-needed shot of courage.

"Don't be nervous, everyone. This is a Styx jellyfish."

"It's a massive species of jellyfish that lives in the deep sea. They're incredibly rare, and humanity hasn't observed them very many times."

"In fact, when compared to the history of jellyfish, human history seems quite insignificant. Jellyfish have existed for hundreds of millions of years. Because of that, there are many species in this world with vastly different shapes and forms."

"But this particular species definitely looks a bit scary on the outside, and their tentacles are highly venomous."

As Ning Fei explained this, even he felt a sense of heavy oppression in his chest.

These jellyfish were floating there, almost as tall as a person. The crucial point was their toxicity, making them infinitely more dangerous.

Ning Fei was here for a leisurely sightseeing tour, not to risk his life for cheap thrills. Without missing a beat, he chose to use the Disguise Card.

He had received a total of two Disguise Cards from the lottery draws. He had used one in Antarctica, and this was his very last one.

Disguised as a Styx jellyfish, the danger ceased to exist.

"Do you guys know what's even more terrifying than a single Styx jellyfish?"

Ning Fei asked suddenly.

The viewers gulped nervously.

They had already realized what Ning Fei was going to say.

"At the bottom of the sea, the only thing scarier than one Styx jellyfish is a whole swarm of them."

"They live in groups."

Ning Fei said this as he continued to swim forward.

Then, through the live-stream camera, one dark shadow after another with faint outlines slowly materialized—above him, below him, to his left, and to his right.

At that moment, the viewers felt as if they were going to stop breathing altogether.

This feeling truly made it seem as if Ning Fei had descended into the most horrifying layer of hell.

"Styx jellyfish... Now I know why they gave this creature such a name."

"Holy fucking shit, I'm covered in a cold sweat right now."

"This is even more intense than robbing tombs!"

"This creature is way too scary! It looks exactly like those Dementors from Harry Potter!"

"Yes! I was just wondering what this thing looked like! It felt so familiar!"

"And right now, Temple Master Ning is completely surrounded by Dementors!"

Ning Fei drifted among the Styx jellyfish.

In the eyes of the viewers, he was a diver in a Diving Suit.

But in the eyes of the other Styx jellyfish, Ning Fei was just another member of their swarm, silently drifting with them through the depths of the sea.

The scene was truly terrifying.

Ning Fei had the Tuna snap a series of photos. In his mind, the System's prompt chimed, notifying him that the quest was complete.

He successfully received the reward: the Golden Compass.

To date, the number of times humanity has observed the Styx jellyfish has been extremely limited.

With this feat, Ning Fei was bound to send another massive shockwave through the marine biology community.
