As soon as the black shadow appeared, countless spectrums emerged around itself and Ye Zhongming. In the dim river water, even though these spectrums were not particularly bright, they were exceptionally dazzling.
These spectrums formed a wall beside the black shadow, and the unimpeded needle of the star sunfish collided against it, sticking to it like glue. No matter how the star sunfish struggled, it couldn't break free.
Similarly, the star ice thunder expanded on this wall, with the toxic ice needles and unimpeded needles being confined by these spectrums, losing any power that had previously terrified the people of Linhai.
However, due to the sudden enlargement of the black shadow, some star guiche fish managed to hit it during this process. Yet, the black shadow, now towering at three or four stories high, seemed completely unaffected. Underneath its body, countless tentacles suddenly shot out, directly ensnaring those star guiche fish that had pierced their bodies with the unimpeded needles and yanking them out. Then, with a forceful pull, it crushed these star guiche fish, some even at fourth-level evolution, into a mush.
Two red crystals hidden beneath its body occasionally flashed enchanting light in the Dark River. The black shadow shook in the water, causing the toxic ice needles embedded in its flesh to fall off without inflicting any harm.
Upon its appearance, the black shadow shattered the entire star sunfish group's attack on Ye Zhongming!
This black shadow was the second mutation sixth-level sea beast—copper ink sea anemone—tamed by Ye Zhongming using a taming tube on the beach outside the Inner City!
After three hundred hours of taming, the copper ink sea anemone had become another trump card in Ye Zhongming's hands.
Initially, the second mutation copper ink sea anemone was dual seventh-level, with real strength close to eighth-level. Under Ye Zhongming and Mo Ye's combined efforts, they were almost killed; without sky dome suppression, they would have perished.
Now, although its level had been lowered to sixth-level mutated life due to sky dome suppression, this creature was ultimately a second mutation, with strength close to seventh-level. Such an existence meant that the attacks from these star sunfish couldn't inflict much damage on it at all.
Moreover, while the Dark River was not considered the ocean, it was still water, further enhancing the copper ink sea anemone's power. Thus, it dominated the situation upon its emergence, appearing effortless.
The surrounding star sunfish group clearly did not expect the sudden appearance of such a powerful creature from the same lineage, causing some confusion in their encirclement. Ye Zhongming immediately ordered the copper ink sea anemone to move towards the Dark River’s exit.
After a moment of chaos, the star sunfish realized their target was fleeing. How could they let it go? Although the copper ink sea anemone was sixth-level and thus higher in rank than them, there were twelve fifth-level star sunfish nearby, along with thousands of other lower-level subordinates. They were not afraid of this giant that had suddenly appeared.
Furthermore, the Dark River was the star sunfish's territory. While they had natural enemies, the number of those enemies was too small to pose a fundamental threat. Within the massive underground river, the numbers of star sunfish were plentiful, and if possible, the leader of these fifth-level fish could summon companions using certain methods!
In this situation, after the initial shock, these rulers of the Dark River lost their fear and regarded this human and the suddenly appearing monster as a step on their path to evolution.
Ye Zhongming saw that the star sunfish group had followed and finally relaxed, continuing to guide the copper ink sea anemone towards the exit.
