The mark was extremely small, even if one could see energy, it would be impossible to observe with the naked eye.
Moreover, this energy was unusually dormant, simply staying motionless within the plant without affecting the plant itself in any way.
However, this black energy gave Quan Yi a feeling of discomfort. Focusing closely, Quan Yi even noticed a distortion of the surrounding light.
His Soul Bone, Martial Soul, and Soul Power all sent warnings to Quan Yi at the same time.
"Is this the darkness attribute?"
Even when facing Xiao Bai and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, his Ultimate Fire attribute hadn't reacted so strongly.
Based on the characteristics of the energy and his own reaction, Quan Yi suspected it was the darkness attribute.
At the same time, Quan Yi thought of the Blue Silver Seaweed King's devouring and bloodthirsty nature, feeling that it perfectly matched the characteristics of a dark attribute Soul Beast.
Immediately, he shared his discovery with the others.
"Darkness attribute? Hmm, in that case, it can indeed explain the Blue Silver Seaweed King's abnormality."
Xiao Bai's gaze sharpened, indicating her agreement with Quan Yi's deduction.
"Since the Blue Silver Seaweed King possesses the darkness attribute, its strength is definitely greater than we anticipated.
Quan Yi, if you need help, I will step in."
Xiao Bai looked at Quan Yi with a serious expression.
Her previous refusal was based on her understanding of Quan Yi's strength.
Now, with the situation exceeding expectations, she immediately stepped forward.
Quan Yi smiled reassuringly. It seemed the Evil Spirit Tiger Whale King's brain wasn't wasted after all.
However, Quan Yi still reached out to refuse Xiao Bai.
"No need, my plan isn't suitable for your participation. You only need to be outside the island, ready to assist us."
Immediately, Quan Yi piloted the Scarlet Dragon, landing in the sea outside the grassland, and placed Xiao Bai into the water.
"Remember, don't approach the sea no matter what happens. Also, remember to hide your aura and don't let the Blue Silver Seaweed King discover your presence."
After speaking, Quan Yi led the remaining three to land on the shore.
The silver-white beach shimmered under the sunlight.
The Scarlet Dragon's landing caused vibrations and pressure, causing the shellfish inhabiting the beach to scurry in all directions.
"It seems this island is full of vitality."
Huo Wu looked towards the forest, seeing a scene of singing birds and fragrant flowers, completely different from her impression.
Not only was it not lifeless, but it displayed an unusual vitality.
Flowers, birds, insects, and beasts were everywhere. There were even small Soul Beasts fleeing from the shore towards the depths of the forest.
Turning to look at the sea, the shape of the Blue Silver Seaweed was clearly visible.
Unlike the Blue Silver Grass on land, the Blue Silver Seaweed had a completely different shape, except for the color.
The most prominent feature was its very slender leaves. In the waters near the beach, the tips of the seaweed even floated out of the water.
The slender, dense leaves swayed naturally with the sea currents, like graceful young women.
Moreover, upon closer inspection, countless tiny marine creatures inhabited the dense leaves.
However, everyone present knew that this was just an illusion.
"These are all bait scattered by the Blue Silver Seaweed King. It is obviously using this unique environment to attract countless powerful Sea Soul Beasts."
Yun Qiong sighed as she looked into the distance.
In the sea, half a kilometer away, she could sense the aura of thousand-year Sea Soul Beasts.
These powerful Sea Soul Beasts, which were usually impossible to see in the shallow sea area, were actually swimming not far away.
Clearly, they were also attracted by the abundant resources here.
"The Blue Silver Seaweed King actually allows a thousand-year Sea Soul Beast to reside within its Domain.
It seems it's using the thousand-year Sea Soul Beast as bait.
This fellow clearly intends to play the long game.
As expected of an 80,000-year Soul Beast, possessing such wisdom."
Although Yun Qiong didn't specify what the 'big fish' was, everyone present understood.
A ten-thousand-year Soul Beast.
Indeed, this vibrant region had been transformed into a treasure trove by the Blue Silver Seaweed King, attracting countless creatures to inhabit it.
Seaweed is naturally a habitat for numerous marine organisms, and under the Blue Silver Seaweed King's control, the environment here had become even more favorable.
However, appearances can be deceiving.
The Blue Silver Seaweed King wasn't doing this out of some sense of protection.
According to Xiao Bai's information, the Blue Silver Seaweed King would reveal its hidden fangs as soon as the number of Soul Beasts in the sea reached a predetermined level.
Devouring all life within the sea.
Once satiated, it would enter a state of dormancy to digest the energy.
After digestion, the seaweed would once again attract countless tiny marine organisms.
These marine organisms would then attract hundred-year Soul Beasts, which in turn would attract thousand-year Soul Beasts, and finally, ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts.
Faced with the nearly endless life of the sea, the Blue Silver Seaweed King used this method to continuously devour marine life.
After a brief survey of the environment, everyone looked at Quan Yi and asked, "Xiao Yi, what do you plan to do?"
Quan Yi smiled confidently and analyzed, "The Blue Silver Seaweed King possesses two troublesome abilities.
One is a concealment ability that prevents Xiao Bai from finding it.
The other is a terrifying control over all plant life.
If we disregard these two abilities, its individual strength is no match for us."
Yun Qiong, influenced by Quan Yi's smile, said with a smile, "It seems you've already figured out a solution."
"Yes." Quan Yi nodded, then pointed to his eyes and replied domineeringly, "Any concealment ability will be rendered useless under the Eye of True Sight.
Before landing, I had already discovered the Blue Silver Seaweed King's location, and it's clear that it also detected our presence.
Although it quickly concealed itself, I still found its hiding place."
"Where is it?" Huo Wu asked curiously.
"In the depths of the sea!"
Quan Yi replied, looking at the coast.
The Blue Silver Seaweed King's concealment ability was very peculiar; it was a method of transforming itself into energy, completely integrating into other plants, and erasing its mental and Soul Power fluctuations.
However, Quan Yi had determined the location of its main body before the Blue Silver Seaweed King discovered him, and had observed the entire concealment process.
Moreover, even without that, with Quan Yi's Eye of True Sight, he could see the light that was completely different from the surrounding seaweed.
Without needing to sense fluctuations, simply by looking directly, he could see the original radiance. The powerful effect of the Eye of True Sight had once again helped Quan Yi.
Without the Scarlet Dragon Eye, even with his powerful mental strength, he would never have been able to discover the Blue Silver Seaweed King's location.
After all, the Blue Silver Seaweed King, integrated into other seaweed, would hide within that dark energy imprint.
"Indeed. But even if we can pinpoint its location, how do we dive into the sea and kill it?
If we dive into the sea, we will not only face the unfavorable underwater environment, but also its plant control ability.
The countless seaweed on the seabed will become its helpers,"
Quan Li asked with concern.
