Upon hearing this, Rob immediately drew his bow and shot an arrow, aiming at the large piranha at the front of the group and let it fly.

The arrow was launched, hitting precisely on the piranha’s head with a loud explosion. The group behind saw this and quickly slowed down.

Yet, the rear group of piranhas quickly caught up, creating a scene of chaos.

Yushi calmly took out a whip and lashed it out, hooking the cooked piranha and pulling it into the jellyfish lamp.

The grilled fish aroma instantly filled Josh’s entire mouth.

Josh: "..." Do these people know that they’re sitting inside her mouth now?

Part of her tentacles weren’t electrified, intertwining horizontally to form a temporary small cushion accommodating these few people.

And they actually abandoned her to eat grilled fish by themselves?

The piranha was quite large. From a distance, it looked about the same size as a normal fish, but when brought back, it was nearly over a meter long, exceptionally plump. Once fried, the aroma intensified even more.

Rob looked somewhat disdainfully at the grilled fish: "Can this... be eaten?"

Yuze had already sliced a piece with a knife and put it in his mouth.

The hungry group stared at him, watching Yuze’s expression grow more and more serious as he swallowed.

Yushi blinked: "Captain, is it tasty?"

Yuze: "Not tasty."

Rob burst into laughter: "See, I told you it wouldn’t taste good! This fish looks so ugly, how could it taste good?"

Yuze frowned, turned, sliced a large piece of meat, and handed it to Josh: "Want some?"

Josh’s two huge, bright red bulbous eyes glanced at him: "Yes."

A tentacle reached out, curled up the sliced meat Yuze offered, and stuffed it into the mouth.

Rob looked at Josh, his expression twisted: "Are you dumb? The captain said it wasn’t tasty, and you’re still eating it?"

Yushi also frowned, looking at Yuze: "Josh is still a kid, what if she gets a stomach ache."

Yuze offered a formal smile: "If she does, I’ll compensate." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Rob looked at the two, tangled: "This fish lives in this kind of sea, it looks like a product of pollution. Won’t it be toxic? Captain, maybe you shouldn’t eat it? If you two go down, what’ll we play with?"

The fish meat was steaming, and the fresh and sweet aroma slowly spread.

Jiang Can looked skeptically at Yuze: "Captain, is it really not tasty? It smells so fragrant."

Yuze: "Not tasty."

Jiang Can was still somewhat doubtful.

Josh said: "This sea area is strange. Almost all the seabed creatures here have mutated, and the seawater color is glowing green. Be cautious, don’t eat too much of these sour-smelling fish, beware of poisoning."

Hearing this, the others were even more hesitant to eat.

Thus, the fish went straight into Josh and Yuze’s stomachs.

Commentary: [I bet this fish is delicious!]

[Hahaha, they still don’t quite know their captain, do they? When the fish is brought to Josh’s mouth, how could it be bad?]

[Agreed, when has Yu ever given Josh something bad?]

[That’s why these two can get along so well!]

[In comparison, the other three seem so naive, you just can’t help but love them.]

With all this commotion, the players chasing them were left far behind, entangled with piranhas.

Josh wandered aimlessly on the seabed: "Where are we heading now? How long can your protective suits hold in the water?"

Yuze: "They should be infinitely reusable. These suits change material upon contact with water."

Their bodies were entirely wrapped in protective suits, with high-precision goggles over their eyes. The lenses displayed the distance and speed of approaching objects from afar.

The mouthpiece could be opened at any time to deliver items while keeping water isolated outside.

This is likely similar to a technology creating an air barrier, very practical.

And the suits automatically deploy these technologies upon contact with seawater.

On land, the suits look no different from ordinary medical protective suits.

The suits offer many functions. Besides these, their forearms and calves extend with fin-like features for ease of swimming underwater.

Josh didn’t have any particular task commands, her only mission was to protect teammates while moving underwater, acting as an underwater mount.

Yuze thought for a moment, pointed in a direction on the seabed: "Head over there."

Rob looked that way: "Why?"

The direction Yuze pointed was pitch dark. There wasn’t even a flicker of light and not even the piranhas ventured there.

Josh followed his direction and noticed that spot.

Indeed, it was unusually secluded. The piranhas seemed to deliberately avoid that area, not only staying away but even the seawater above that area remained untouched.

Unusual events always have a cause.

Josh led the teammates in that direction.

Jiang Can turned to look at the players behind, suddenly curious: "In their teams, it seems those drawn as mounts are actually the strongest members."

Rob followed the gaze, a bit bewildered, "You know them?"

Jiang Can: "Not really. It’s just that a few teams have been encountered in other dungeons before. It’s clear their teams have the strongest serving as mounts."

Rob turned to pat Yuze: "Captain, reflect on yourself. Why isn’t it you being the mount but Little Tactician? Have you slackened and become less capable over the years?"

Yuze raised his hand and flicked him lightly on the head, with a slight smile: "Well? Feel like I’ve declined?"

Rob ended up with three small lumps on his head, looking like a stick of candied fruit on his forehead.

"No decline, still as skilled as ever..."

Yuze contentedly withdrew his hand.

Rob turned tearfully, intending to seek comfort in Little Tactician’s embrace, only to remember Little Tactician was now a small jellyfish, so he turned to bury himself in Jiang Can’s arms: "Why am I always the one getting bullied?"

Yushi forlornly added beside him: "Why, in our team, are you always the one bullied by the captain? Have you perhaps become too mischievous over the years, too much in need of discipline?"

Rob, with reddened eyes, glared resentfully at him: "I’ll cry for you."

Yushi slowly turned his head back: "I won’t watch."

Rob gritted his teeth: "..."

Behind, the group of players shook off the piranhas and pursued them.

Not even getting close, Josh felt a power fluctuation, as if it emerged from this silent seabed.

She hesitated: "Should we go over? Something seems off."

Yuze: "Don’t rush over yet."

Josh thought for a moment, extended a tentacle, and grabbed a piranha nearby, flinging it towards the open area.

The piranha reacted extremely violently, frantically wagging its tail and desperately swimming to the side before even getting near, barely skimming over the area’s edge.

Something indeed wasn’t right.
