Chapter 448: Coral Sea, A Fairytale World!

Ning Fei successfully filmed a video of the Styx jellyfish floating on the ocean floor.

This news caused a massive reaction abroad.

This was especially true for marine experts.

In the past, humans had discovered traces of the Styx jellyfish in the waters of Antarctica and the Pacific Ocean, but they had merely been traces.

But now, Ning Fei was actually floating right in the middle of a swarm of Styx jellyfish!

Those were massive, highly toxic jellyfish over two meters long!

What ordinary person would ever dare approach such terrifying monsters?

The portion of the ocean world humanity had explored was simply too small!

And the footage Ning Fei captured went far beyond people's current understanding.

As a result, this borderline terrifying video rapidly spread across the global internet.

"An Underwater Hell? The Terror of the Styx Jellyfish!"

"He Dives Deep Among the World's Most Terrifying Creatures!"

"The Styx Jellyfish Finally Reveals Its True Face!"

Various articles continuously popped up all over the web.

Soon after, the official accounts of multiple scientific research institutions also released statements.

World Geography Magazine: "Mr. Ning Fei's discovery is another milestone in oceanography."

Huaxia Ocean Research Institute: "We are grateful for Temple Master Ning's astonishing discovery, which provides us with the most authentic basis for studying marine life."

Huaxia Scientific Research Report Conference: "Due to the limitations of ocean exploration technology, humanity's understanding of the sea remains at the most superficial level. Temple Master Ning's expedition successfully captured precious footage of the Styx jellyfish, which holds profound significance for marine research."

Many official accounts published articles, and all of them were accompanied by screenshots of Ning Fei floating alongside the Styx jellyfish.

In the images, Ning Fei wore his diving suit. Through the transparent diving helmet, people could see his thoroughly calm expression.

Surrounding him were several ghost-like creatures that looked rather terrifying.

Just looking at this image was enough to make people's hearts pound.

No one knew just how much psychological pressure Ning Fei had faced while down on the ocean floor.

The outside world heaped praise upon Ning Fei's discovery.

Some even touted Ning Fei as the "Greatest Adventurer of the 21st Century."

Many Huaxia public accounts reposted the comments about Ning Fei from the foreign internet.

To be fair, in recent years, it was rare for the overseas internet to praise and promote someone from Huaxia.

But Ning Fei had used his sheer capability to make many authoritative institutions look at him with newfound respect.

When the Huaxia netizens saw this scene, every one of them was exceptionally excited.

"Hahaha, that's Temple Master Ning for you!"

"Temple Master Ning is just touring the world, but these foreigners are acting like they've never seen anything before."

"You can't blame them. Compared to the things Temple Master Ning sees, everyone else looks like they've never seen the world!"

"Still, watching the foreign media praise Temple Master Ning feels really damn good!"

"'I just came to look at some coral, and accidentally started trending worldwide again.'"

"Just a few days ago, he went grocery shopping in Hawaii and accidentally won a surfing championship."

The level of discussion on the internet was incredibly high.

After taking pictures with the Styx jellyfish, Ning Fei swam upwards.

Compared to the glowing little blue and pink jellyfish, the Styx jellyfish really lacked aesthetic appeal. Plus, they gave people the creeps; no one knew how a creature could grow to look like that.

As Ning Fei ascended, the glowing jellyfish swarm appeared once more.

Seeing the glowing jellyfish again, the netizens instantly felt a lot more fond of them.

Afterward, Ning Fei returned to the cruise ship, took off his diving suit, took a shower, and went to check on the Golden Compass.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly.

Ning Fei opened his mobile phone to check his messages in the morning, only then realizing that his discovery of the Styx jellyfish had sparked a massive discussion online.

"I just went for a dive, why is there such a huge fuss?"

Ning Fei was a little surprised himself.

He had also seen some of the overseas news, all of which had been compiled for him by Jiang Xue.

"The Styx jellyfish is indeed quite rare. This creature is very wondrous; it never lives in a fixed location,"

"For instance, I found a swarm of Styx jellyfish down here last night, but they might not be here tonight."

"They're like ghosts drifting along the ocean floor, constantly floating on."

Ning Fei said after a moment of thought.

Thinking about it that way, he also understood why those scientific research institutions had been so highly appreciative of his discovery.

"I had already forgotten about it, but now that Temple Master Ning mentioned it, I'm remembering the terrifying scenes that scared me yesterday."

"They never stop drifting? Don't tell me they actually go from place to place reaping souls."

"The Grim Reapers of Earth?"

"If that's true, then wasn't Temple Master Ning dancing with the Grim Reaper last night?"

The netizens were deep in discussion when Ning Fei smiled and interrupted them:

"Let's stop talking about the Styx jellyfish."

"Today, we're going down to take a look at the Coral Sea."

"The Coral Sea is extremely beautiful. It'll help brighten our moods a bit."

Ning Fei's words were very effective. Everyone stopped thinking about the horror of the Styx jellyfish and instead began discussing the Coral Sea.

"I loved listening to the song 'Coral Sea' in middle school. Seabirds and fish falling in love, it's nothing but an accident."

"Haha, a fellow fan! The moment Temple Master Ning mentioned the Coral Sea, I thought of that song too."

"That song is pretty good. Seabirds and fish really do love each other—they can't go a single meal without them."

Ning Fei piloted the cruise ship, driving forward once more.

He was heading into the deeper reaches of the Great Barrier Reef.

At this time, the netizens noticed many other boats out on the ocean surface.

"The Great Barrier Reef is a premier diving destination; it's a paradise for diving enthusiasts all over the world,"

"There are also a lot of diving tourism programs here, so there will be many people swimming in the Coral Sea."

"Of course, people like me who can drive their own boat in are in the minority."

Ning Fei said with a smile.

"I feel like Temple Master Ning is showing off."

"Confirmed. It seems Temple Master Ning has some serious connections. To think the government responsible for the Great Barrier Reef actually let him in."

"Yeah, I wonder why that is?"

Ning Fei didn't explain the matter further.

It was true that his visa was quite different from an ordinary person's.

Driving the Qingfeng, Ning Fei chose a suitable spot to anchor and prepared to enter the water.

There were many diving enthusiasts around.

Carrying an oxygen tank on his back and wearing flippers, Ning Fei gently dropped into the ocean from the lowest point at the stern of the boat.

The moment he entered the sea, the entire picture changed.

The instant the live stream camera's feed switched over, all the netizens couldn't help but let out gasps of amazement:

"Whoa!"

"So beautiful!"

The scenery below was indeed stunning.

Corals of all different colors intertwined with one another. Pinks, blues, and reds spread out from the ocean floor, decorating the entire sea.

Amidst them, countless small tropical fish swam back and forth.

Coral was an important food source for marine animals, especially the brightly colored sea fish.

The sea fish also came in all sorts of colors, looking incredibly gorgeous.

In this moment, it truly felt just like the animated world of Finding Nemo.

The netizens also saw many other diving tourists.

There were a few girls with excellent figures and fair skin, looking very pleasing to the eye.

Of course, Ning Fei's attention was entirely on the coral and the sea fish.

The Tuna also timed it perfectly, choosing only to film the beautiful midday scenery.

This left many of the thirsty viewers itching in their hearts, directly howling in the bullet comments:

"Temple Master Ning, don't just film the fish, film those girls with the long legs!"

"Diving is a rather high-end sport; the girls who generally do this kind of sport are top tier!"

"Their figures are way too good."

"Watching this makes me want to go diving too!"

"There's a blonde foreign girl, that figure, those curves, tsk tsk."

"You guys are way too dirty."

Ning Fei swam toward the coral.

He had no idea that the netizens' attention was mostly focused on the beauties nearby.

However, Ning Fei didn't really care about that; it was enough that he got to enjoy the scenery.

The Tuna, on the other hand, was very sensible, occasionally broadcasting the other diving tourists.

Every time the camera panned around, a flock of thirsty viewers would cheer.

This teasing made the atmosphere in the live stream room lively.

Smiles appeared on all the netizens' faces.

And at this moment, the diving girl with the best figure from earlier seemed to recognize Ning Fei.

With her ample assets bouncing, she swam right over toward him.
