I Have an All-Knowing Mirror

Chapter 80: Deep Sea Mutant

"Beneath the Deep Sea exists the Mutant Dragonfish. Every century, it follows the submarine ocean currents to the Shallow Sea Layer, returning to the deep sea after seven days."

"Mutant Dragonfish, a Level 3 Lifeform. Its bloodline is pure and extraordinary, containing trace amounts of Dragon Blood. If refined and absorbed through appropriate methods, it can elevate one's life origin and accelerate cultivation speed."

Deep within his sea of consciousness, Su Yuan reviewed the gray mirror's introduction to the deep sea Mutant Dragonfish.

According to the gray mirror's answer, in twenty-eight hours and thirty-five minutes, this Mutant Dragonfish would travel from Beneath the Deep Sea to the Shallow Sea Layer. The exact location would be north of Europe, near Iceland.

'A Mutant Dragonfish, huh...'

Su Yuan felt a pang of desire. He had been eyeing this Mutant Dragonfish for several months. Ever since he learned about it from the gray mirror, he had kept it firmly in mind.

The gray mirror's answer stated that refining and absorbing its bloodline could elevate his life origin and accelerate his cultivation speed.

In simpler terms, it raised the absolute upper limit of a species' cultivation speed.

As for the specific effects—if Su Yuan successfully refined and absorbed this deep sea mutant, his personal cultivation speed would increase by roughly ten percent.

A ten percent boost in cultivation speed might not seem like much, but over time, it would undoubtedly save Su Yuan a massive amount of time.This deep sea Mutant Dragonfish was the second objective of Su Yuan's trip to Europe.

It could even be considered his primary objective. Its importance surpassed even taking control of The Truth Society's Android Manufacturing Factory.

Su Yuan had various methods to seize control of the Android Manufacturing Factory; it would merely cost him a bit more time.

But capturing this deep sea Mutant Dragonfish? If he missed this opportunity while it was in the Shallow Sea Layer and let it slip back to the Bottom of the Deep Sea...

The price Su Yuan would have to pay to capture it again would drastically increase.

'Such a rare, natural mutant...'

Su Yuan sighed softly in his heart. If he did not intervene...

This deep sea Mutant Dragonfish would successfully evolve into a Level 4 Lifeform in one hundred and thirty years, and a Level 5 Lifeform in five hundred and seventy years.

In truth, there was no shortage of similar mutants currently on Blue Star, such as the two Snake Mothers in the Hundred Thousand Mountains of the Southern Border.

However, the bloodlines of those two Snake Mothers were far too impure. Even if he hunted them down, they would not be of much help to Su Yuan. They were inferior even to a single Magma Spirit Crystal, let alone possessing the effect of raising the upper limit of a species' cultivation speed.

Three hours later.

Su Yuan took a flight and arrived at the Iceland Airport.

Just as he stepped out of the airport, Su Yuan saw two people striding toward him.

"Boss."

The pair consisted of a man and a woman. The man was in his thirties with ordinary features, yet he exuded an aura that made people instinctively want to get close to him.

The woman was in her early twenties, sporting a single ponytail. She was radiant, energetic, and brimming with the vitality of youth, looking much like a recent college graduate.

"Mhm."

Su Yuan nodded slightly in greeting.

Su Yuan had been preparing for today for several months.

He had sent people to Iceland in advance to get everything ready.

These two were the employees Su Yuan had hired back in Xia Nation. According to the gray mirror's evaluations, they were absolutely reliable, and both had experience living in Iceland.

The man's name was Bai Tangwen.

The woman's name was Zhao Ru.

"Boss, we have already chartered an Ocean-Going Vessel, along with three crew members and a captain. They are reliable people and won't speak out of turn,"

Bai Tangwen immediately reported. This was exactly the task Su Yuan had assigned to them.

"There is also what you had shipped over, Boss..."

Bai Tangwen led Su Yuan to a large SUV.

He then skillfully opened the trunk.

Inside lay a Black Long Box, measuring 2.2 meters in length and 0.2 meters in width, resting quietly across the space.

Su Yuan stepped forward and slowly opened the long box, revealing a two-meter-long Jet-Black Long Spear resting within.

This long spear was forged using a method provided by the gray mirror. In terms of hardness, it surpassed even diamonds. It was specially prepared by Su Yuan for that deep sea Mutant Dragonfish.

To hunt that Mutant Dragonfish, the simplest method was naturally to use Firearms and Explosive Weapons. However, hunting it with such weapons would be far too wasteful. The Mutant Dragonfish's corpse would be blown to pieces, and its most essential blood would be largely lost.

It was precisely because of this that Su Yuan chose to hunt it with the most primitive Cold Weapons, allowing him to preserve the Mutant Dragonfish's body to the greatest extent possible.

Su Yuan gently stroked the spear shaft. He promptly closed the box, lifted it with his right hand, and slung it across his back.

"This..."

Seeing this, Bai Tangwen's pupils shrank slightly.

An outsider might not think much upon seeing this scene.

But he knew that the long spear inside the black gun box weighed at least four hundred kilograms.

In order to move this heavy black box into the car, Bai Tangwen had to call in four burly men.

Yet, this incredibly heavy box was effortlessly lifted by Su Yuan and casually strapped to his back?

Bai Tangwen was filled with disbelief. He had long heard that true cultivators existed in Xia Nation, possessing all sorts of unimaginable abilities.

But seeing it with his own eyes still left him inexplicably shocked.

"Let's go to the Harbor."

Su Yuan carried the Black Long Box on his back.

With his current strength, a four-hundred-kilogram box was far too light.

"Understood."

Bai Tangwen immediately got into the driver's seat.

Zhao Ru, who was beside him, also climbed in.

Twenty minutes later.

They arrived at the Harbor in Iceland.

Iceland was close to the North Pole. Its environment was quite harsh, and its permanent population was only a few million.

Located deep in the ocean, Iceland's fishing industry was highly developed. When Su Yuan and his group reached the Harbor, they saw many people gathered there, preparing to set sail.

"Boss, our ship is over here."

Bai Tangwen quickly led Su Yuan to a medium-sized vessel.

Three people were currently standing there—a captain and two crewmen.

All three were local Icelanders. The captain looked quite honest and dependable.

Su Yuan glanced at the three of them. Simultaneously, deep within his sea of consciousness, he asked the gray mirror about their backgrounds and origins, and whether they would leave behind any hidden troubles after the hunt for the Mutant Dragonfish was completed.

This was also the advantage of taking the gray mirror into his sea of consciousness. Su Yuan could ask questions anytime, anywhere, allowing him to control the overall situation and avoid any unexpected variables.

'No problems.'

Su Yuan glanced at the gray mirror's reply.

In fact, before hiring this captain and crew, all their relevant information had already been reviewed by Xiaolan. They were only hired after everything was confirmed to be clear.

Su Yuan asking the mirror specifically was just a casual precaution. It was naturally best if there were no issues, but if there were, he could still remedy the situation before setting sail.

"Let's set sail."

Su Yuan was just about to board the ship.

But he was stopped by the captain.

The captain waved his hands at Su Yuan, then pointed to the distant sky, uttering a flurry of words.

"Boss, the captain says it's best not to set sail today. We might encounter a Storm, and it's dangerous," Zhao Ru immediately translated from the side.

Her purpose was precisely to act as a translator. The Icelandic Language was one of the world's minority languages, obscure and difficult to understand.

"Tell him there is no danger."

Su Yuan smiled faintly and stepped directly onto the ship.
