However, just by looking at the size of the Deep Sea Fish, it was clear that Shura stood no chance against it.
(Deep Sea Fish: I don't have hands (︶.︶))
"I actually think Shura might meet his end here. That way, we can loot his box. Even if we split the supplies inside among all of us present, we'd each get a fair share. I've been eyeing Shura's resources for a long time."
"Even if Shura can't enter the Teleportation Gate now, if he wants to escape, this Deep Sea Fish probably can't do anything to stop him. Besides, given Shura's strength, if even he can't enter the Teleportation Gate, we shouldn't even entertain the thought."
Luo Feng now held the Legendary Grade Shrinking Mirror in his hand.
This Legendary Grade Shrinking Mirror closely resembled the portable magnifying glasses of the past.

A black handle and a single lens.
It looked incredibly simple.
Luo Feng had used magnifying glasses like this before.
Apart from their magnifying function, magnifying glasses could also focus light.
Especially at high noon under the blazing sun, they could concentrate light to a single point, generating extremely high temperatures.
They could easily ignite firewood.
Having a magnifying glass in the wild was an incredibly useful tool.
It saved you the trouble of rubbing sticks to start a fire.
(Question: How would you explain rubbing sticks to draw water?)
Back then, Luo Feng had often used magnifying glasses to burn small ants to death—one zap and they were gone.
Since there was already a Legendary Grade Shrinking Mirror, there must be a Legendary Grade Magnifying Glass too, right?
Next, Luo Feng couldn't help but explain the difference between convex and concave lenses and how to tell them apart.
It was actually quite simple—just use your hands.
Just feel them directly.
A lens that was thick in the middle and thin at the edges, like a small hill, was convex.
A lens that was thin in the middle and thick at the edges, like a valley, was concave.
Convex (｀0)凸
Convex and concave lenses could also be combined.
As the Deep Sea Fish drew closer, Luo Feng quickly snapped out of his wandering thoughts and grew serious.
After all, a Deep Sea Fish of this size was no joke.
Just as Luo Feng was holding the Shrinking Mirror and pondering how to engage the Deep Sea Fish in battle—
Not far from the Deep Sea Fish, a flaming Great White Shark glanced in Luo Feng's direction.
With just that one look, the flames on the Great White Shark's body suddenly became somewhat unstable, flaring up slightly.
This change immediately caught the Deep Sea Fish's attention.
The Deep Sea Fish turned its gaze toward the Flame Shark, feeling puzzled. What was that unfamiliar aura just now?
With a single flip of its body, the Deep Sea Fish sent the Flame Shark tumbling far away.
Since it didn't understand what was happening, it was better to keep this Flame Shark at a distance.
Now, the Deep Sea Fish turned its attention to the Black Tortoise approaching it.
From the Black Tortoise, the Deep Sea Fish could sense an immense energy.
This posed no small threat to it.
Inside the Flame Shark's belly, Xiao Huo Huo let out a sigh of relief when he saw the Deep Sea Fish didn't pursue the attack.
This was a plan devised by his master.
After killing a Flame Shark, he used some special methods to enter its body and control its movements to approach the Teleportation Gate.
Honestly, this method was incredibly effective.
However, he didn't dare reveal his objective too blatantly. He wasn't foolish enough to recklessly charge toward the Teleportation Gate while controlling the Flame Shark.
Doing so would undoubtedly attract the attention of the Deep Sea Fish. So, he could only slowly maneuver the Flame Shark closer.
Who would've thought that after painstakingly spending so much time getting close to the Deep Sea Fish, he would lose control in his excitement upon seeing Luo Feng's sudden appearance, accidentally exposing his aura?
Fortunately, he reacted quickly—otherwise, he might have been swallowed whole by the Deep Sea Fish.
"What's going on with this Shura? How did he get here from Extremely Cold Island so fast?
I thought I'd be the first to enter the Teleportation Gate.
This complicates things."
As Luo Feng approached, the Deep Sea Fish shifted its focus onto him.
A swarm of sharks—Great White Sharks, Flame Sharks, Two-Headed Sharks, Three-Headed Sharks, Four-Headed Sharks—surged toward Luo Feng from beneath the Deep Sea Fish.
The Deep Sea Fish wouldn't recklessly abandon its post to attack others. Its primary duty was guarding the Teleportation Gate, preventing intruders—not indiscriminate killing.
If it engaged in a fierce battle with Luo Feng, someone might take advantage of the chaos to slip inside.
(Xiao Huo Huo: Why do I feel like someone's talking about me?)
Just as these sharks reached the waters beneath Luo Feng—
Black Tortoise unleashed its Freezing ability.
Instantly, the seawater within a dozen meters froze solid.
Every shark was instantly killed.
The surrounding players witnessing this scene collectively gasped. When had they ever seen such a terrifying ability?
Freezing a dozen meters of seawater in an instant—no one could withstand such an attack.
"Shura's turtle isn't just huge—it's insanely powerful.
All those sharks wiped out in the blink of an eye.
Shura might actually make it into the Teleportation Gate."
"I awakened a D-grade Frost Ice Talent, and I can barely freeze a dozen centimeters of water—and even that takes time.
Compared to this, I can't even measure up to a turtle—no, not even a turtle's toenail.
This is just depressing."
"I'm dying to know—what kind of Talent did Shura awaken? And how did he tame such an overpowered turtle?
I struggle just taming a palm-sized turtle. This is unbelievable."
Hidden within the Flame Shark's body, Xiao Huo Huo couldn't help but show a stunned expression.
It had only been a day, yet Luo Feng's turtle had grown even larger—and far more formidable.
Thankfully, his master had devised this plan. Otherwise, he'd have no chance of surpassing Luo Feng and entering the Teleportation Gate first.
All he had to do was wait for the Deep Sea Fish to engage Black Tortoise in battle—then he could slip inside unnoticed.
Thinking of this, Xiao Huo Huo carefully maneuvered the Flame Shark closer to the Teleportation Gate.
At that moment, a Protective Shield rose from Black Tortoise's back, enveloping Luo Feng and Tang Xuewei within it.
Then, Black Tortoise began to slowly descend into the depths of the sea.
Wherever Black Tortoise passed, the water froze solid in its wake.
