Chapter 2749: 2749
The Dongxuan Area couldn’t reveal what lay inside the coral forest, and so Han Sen was a little hesitant about proceeding with the chase . But he didn’t want to let the electric eel off the hook scot-free . So, he made up his mind . He ventured down into the forest .
“If that electric eel can survive in there, can’t I do the same?” Han Sen made his mind up . He was going to kill that electric eel and dine on its xenogeneic gene, no matter what it took .
Steeling himself, Han Sen began to move through the coral forest . After he entered it, the effectiveness of his Dongxuan Area fell dramatically . He couldn’t see beyond the blood coral all around him .
The blood coral was like a signal disruptor . It prohibited Han Sen’s power from penetrating the red pillars that surrounded him .
Han Sen kept traveling through the sea, and he observed the blood coral carefully as he went by . The blood coral looked like ordinary coral, but for some reason, the power of Han Sen’s Dongxuan Area couldn’t get close to it . That being said, it didn’t seem as if the blood coral was a living creature .
If it was like normal coral, then swarms of small sea creatures should have been making their homes among it . But strangely, Han Sen had been inside the blood coral forest for a while now, and he hadn’t seen another living creature . Not a single fish swam through the red trunks, and not even one crab scurried around the sandy floor of the coral forest .
“This place is really weird . I can’t find a single xenogeneic . Is this the electric eel’s nest? Is it designed like this to prohibit any other creatures from daring to get close?” Han Sen wondered to himself .
The blood coral forest was around ten thousand miles wide, so it wasn’t that big . Han Sen traveled steadily, and he had ventured through half of it before long . He had yet to find the body of the electric eel, but he also hadn’t encountered any danger . It was like a dead zone that remained perfectly quiet and still .
While Han Sen was pondering this mystery, he suddenly saw a light coming from inside the blood coral forest . When viewed from a distance, it was like a sun that had risen just over the horizon in the morning . It was red, but it didn’t really shine all that brightly . It simply glowed like heated steel .
“What is that?” Han Sen could see the light, but because of the blood coral, he couldn’t see what was causing it .
Since Han Sen had only just arrived in the coral forest, he couldn’t leave just yet . He had to keep going forward and exploring .
As Han Sen slowly drew nearer to the light, the light started to look brighter . After many more coral stacks, Han Sen discovered the source of that illumination .
It was a piece of blood coral that was releasing the red light . This particular coral tower looked different from all the other blood coral .
It was much shorter than the rest of the coral, only standing three or four meters high . Compared to the other blood coral that could be ten meters high, this one was quite diminutive .
It was a darker color than the rest of the blood coral, too . The color was mysterious, and it was releasing a red light . The entire piece of coral seemed to glow .

The blood coral was oddly shaped, too . Instead of having many branches like ordinary coral, this one had only a few small twigs . In addition, the main stalk was all twisted up .
“This blood coral, why does it look like… Like a dragon…” Han Sen looked at the blood coral as these thoughts flashed through his mind .
The coral’s shape was distinctly serpentine . It looked like a dragon that was circling among the clouds . Its shape suggested that it wanted to soar ever higher, but it was just a piece of coral . Still, it gave people a weird feeling that it was about to break free of the soil and fly to cloud nine .
“Weird . What is this strange red coral thing? It looks very amazing, but it doesn’t look like it is alive…” Han Sen thought to himself .
Han Sen was standing some distance from the strange coral, trying to decide whether he should approach, when he heard the water stir . A weird rubbing noise broke the silence .
Wlla! Wlla!
He turned to where the noise was coming from, and he saw that the blood coral forest was shaking like mad . Not long after, he saw the electric eel emerge from among the coral .

Because its body was too big, when it traveled between the trunks of the blood coral, its body would brush against the coral .
But the blood coral didn’t fall or break due to the electric eel’s crude movements . In fact, some of the coral had sharp edges that actually cut through the electric eel’s skin . The edges sliced effortlessly through the scales that looked like diamonds, covering the electric eel with many small wounds .
The electric eel didn’t seem very concerned about the injuries, though . It was still forcing its way quickly through the coral bushes . In seconds, it reached the twisted coral tree that looked like a blood dragon .
When it was ten meters away from that weird coral, the electric eel finally stopped . Its eyes were intense as it scanned the blood coral . It didn’t move for some time .
“It looks like the electric eel’s sensing powers have also been dampened by the coral forest . Otherwise, it would definitely have realized that I am so close to it . ” Han Sen had hidden behind a large stack of coral . He had leaned around the coral to get a better look at what the electric eel was doing .
The electric eel looked at the blood coral for a while . Eventually, it seemed to come to a decision . It drew closer to the blood coral, then opened its mouth wide and swallowed the weird blood coral and the sand around it . The enormous maw of the eel left a ten-meter-wide hole in the sea floor .
Things happened too quickly, though, and Han Sen didn’t have time to react . When he saw the electric eel gulp down the weird blood coral, he instantly regretted his own inaction .

“It looks like that piece of blood coral was good stuff . If I had known that, I would have taken it first . ” Han Sen’s heart suddenly jumped as another thought crossed his mind . “This is the Buried Dragon Sea . The legends say a true god class evil dragon died here . That blood coral couldn’t be related to the true god dragon, could it? If that is true, then I’ve missed out on something incredibly potent . I should have picked it up first . ”
While Han Sen was regretting his life choices, he saw the electric eel that had eaten the blood coral start to thrash . It began convulsing and twisting its body, churning up the water around it .
Its body erupted with wild lightning, but when the lightning touched the nearby blood coral, it was extinguished . It didn’t leave so much as a scorch mark on the coral forest .
“This coral is so powerful! The electric eel has such a scary lightning power, yet the coral wasn’t damaged by a full-power attack? This blood coral seems to be made of harder materials than a primitive treasure… And this is a large coral forest . If I could take it all with me and use it to build a castle, then the castle would even bar the entrance of deified elites . ” Han Sen started to drool as he thought of this . He eyed the blood coral most lecherously . His mind began planning how to take thousands of miles of blood coral home with him . Once he had his own xenogeneic space, he could use that blood coral to build a fortress . And then, he could have three palaces, six rooms in each, occupied by 72 wives . That would be delicious .
Meanwhile, the electric eel seemed to be in agony . Its body repeatedly twitched, while its tail kept slapping the sand, forming a big hole in the bottom of the sea bed . Its diamond-like scales suddenly became red . It looked like all of the creature’s blood vessels had burst, and the blood was dyeing the creature’s skin .
“Huh, what is this?” Han Sen didn’t bother watching the suffering of the electric eel as it struggled and writhed . Its thrashing had opened a hole where the weird blood coral had once been, and the hole seemed to be utterly devoid of sand . There was, however, something red glowing in the depths of the depression .
