Chapter 182: Disaster for Mermaids

Chapter 182: The Mermaids Are Affected

“Hahahaha, as expected of me, divinely talented and mighty, righteous and honorable, Opportunities just rush to my doorstep!”

Xiao Budian’s hearty laughter echoed through the desert, sounding very smug.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian and Big Red Bird both rolled their eyes. This little rascal was too narcissistic, but they couldn’t refute him, as a pie had indeed fallen from the sky for him.

“Oh Heavens, open your eyes and see, I am also extraordinary, not bad at all…” Big Red Bird then scrambled to shout, looking up at the sky with eager eyes.

The silver-robed youth was speechless. This bird wasn’t a good thing either; its skin was thicker than a city wall, and could be described as “shameless.”

However… he hesitated, slowly raising his head, as if also waiting for a treasure to hit him on the head. Having a prominent head wasn’t entirely unacceptable.

However, after a long time, apart from the scorching sun glaring down, there was only silence; no more items fell.

Finally, they concluded that it was probably dropped by the person who took the Taiyi True Water, and it just happened to hit Xiao Budian’s head. Only this reason seemed appropriate.

“Damn it, what kind of dog-shit luck is this, for that ferocious kid to encounter it? Why didn’t it hit me, who is so bright and handsome? It has no discerning eye at all…”

Big Red Bird was indignant, wishing it had been standing in Xiao Budian’s spot just now, otherwise the good fortune would have been its.

“Crack!”

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck out of thin air, hitting the Fire Cloud Sparrow. In an instant, its bright red feathers turned completely charred, and the smell of roasted meat could be detected.

“Ah… it hurts, I’m cooked, I’m cooked…”

This sudden scene startled Shi Hao and Xiao Tian, making them tremble and retreat a dozen steps. But soon, both burst into laughter.

“That’s what you get for spouting nonsense, you deserve this retribution!”

“…”

Big Red Bird teared up, carefully glanced around in all directions, and after confirming that the lightning was generated out of thin air, quickly shut its mouth, not daring to say anything more.

Xiao Budian, however, seemed thoughtful, looking at the familiar milk pot in his hand, and muttered, “Brother Lin Fan, is that you?”

…

Above the North Sea.

The sea undulated, vast and magnificent, wave after wave rolling in, the sound of the tides like thunder, a deep indigo expanse stretching endlessly, making living beings appear tiny here.

“What?! The North Sea has a Kun Peng Nest, and the Ten Ferocious Treasures Technique!”

Qingyi was shocked, her beautiful, clear black-and-white eyes wide open as she looked at the young man beside her, her voice urgent, her heart extremely turbulent.

Lin Fan nodded. He came to the North Sea precisely to try his luck, to see if he could obtain the Kun Peng Precious Technique, this invincible Dao, ahead of time.

However, according to his understanding, Kunpeng harbored immense resentment towards the Upper Realm. Its death was related to several forces like the Immortal Palace and Sword Valley, especially the residual immortal behind them.

Therefore, he couldn’t be sure if the residual Divine Thought left by Kunpeng would lump everyone together, ultimately only allowing Lower Realm beings to obtain it.

Besides that, he also wanted to verify some things: would his appearance change a lot in the future? For example, the Empress’s paper boat.

“What are we waiting for? Let’s speed up,” Qingyi said seriously, even a little excited, after all, it was a complete Ten Vicious Treasures Technique.

Even within the Butian Sect, there was no complete Ten Vicious-level Divine Ability. Both the True Dragon and True Phoenix Divine Abilities were incomplete, which was regrettable.

Afterward, she proactively piloted a large ship, its Divine Light burning like flames, rumbling as it rode the wind and waves, sailing towards the depths of the sea.

In a flash, they had already advanced several hundred miles, which stunned Lin Fan. One must know that it was a Divine Rank treasure ship, consuming a lot of Divine Power.

However, he smiled, because at this moment, Qingyi was lively and lovely, possessing a unique kind of beauty.

After sailing a thousand miles, the two ventured deep into a forbidden sea. Suddenly, the ship vibrated violently, its protective runes automatically activating, their radiance flickering.

“What’s going on?”

“What happened?”

Lin Fan and Qingyi frowned, looking up. In the vast ocean ahead, a Silver Shark appeared, dozens of feet long, its body immense, like a small mountain.

It was this Silver Shark that stirred up a monstrous tsunami, its waves crashing against their ship, nearly capsizing the entire vessel.

But its target didn’t seem to be the two of them. It was pursuing other creatures and fighting with them. They were merely caught in the crossfire, suffering an unprovoked disaster.

“A Venerable Rank Silver Shark, and… several mermaids?!” Qingyi exclaimed in surprise, her brow shimmering with a rosy glow, emanating a sacred radiance, ethereal and transcendent.

“Boom!”

At this moment, in the azure ocean, endless electric currents surged, silver lightning bolts leaping up, shocking a mermaid maiden until she was charred black, almost exploding.

“Ah…” A shrill scream rang out, coming from a mermaid maiden.

“Third Sister!” The other two mermaid maidens cried out, their pretty faces filled with worry and anger, but they still held back.

Because the difference between the two sides was too great; they were simply no match for a Venerable.

The next moment, the slightly older mermaid maiden, with a clear voice, said, “It wasn’t our mermaid race who killed your offspring!”

“I don’t care! My child died in your mermaid race’s territory. If I can’t find the killer, I’ll take your lives as compensation!” the large silver fish roared.

Its entire body was silver, without scales, and it had a pair of silver horns on its head that could release endless lightning, terrifying and astonishing. It was a霸主 of the ocean.

“Rumble!”

Lightning struck, like a cascading silver river, its power magnified several times by the seawater, a vast expanse of white light, striking towards the mermaids.

“Venerable Silver Shark, do you think our mermaid race has no one? When my grandmother arrives, she will surely settle the score with you!” The beautiful female mermaid shouted, struggling to hold on.

Their lower bodies were fish, with colorful scales, while their upper bodies were human, with skin as white as ivory, dressed sparsely, their full breasts covered only by seashells, enticing.

The leading mermaid maiden held a foot-long Magical Artifact staff, its inlaid Divine Stone glowing, dazzling brightly, and runes formed a light screen to defend them.

Thanks to this extraordinary Magical Artifact staff, they hadn’t died yet, but if this continued, they wouldn’t last much longer; their demise was only a matter of time.

However, their conversation was overheard by Lin Fan and Qingyi nearby, and suddenly, something seemed to click.

“Silver Shark offspring… we seemed to have eaten a few the other day. Could they be its descendants?” Qingyi glanced at Lin Fan, transmitting her Divine Thought.

Lin Fan didn’t speak. This was originally a world where the fittest survived, and hunting other races to strengthen oneself was perfectly justifiable.

“Second Sister, Third Sister, hold on! Grandmother will be here soon, we just need to hold on a little longer!”

The leading mermaid maiden’s lips were bleeding, her radiant white forehead covered in sweat, and her beautiful hair was disheveled, but she still persevered, holding the Magical Artifact staff to protect her two younger sisters.

“No, Big Sister, your cultivation is the highest, and you have the ancestral Magical Artifact with you. Your chances of escaping are greater. Don’t worry about us, you go quickly,” the other two mermaids shook their heads.

“What foolishness are you speaking? We sisters are of one heart. If we live, we live together. As your elder sister, how could I abandon my younger sisters?”

“How about we save them? After all, it’s because of us that they are being hunted,” Qingyi said with compassion.

“Alright, since you, my wife, have spoken, how can I refuse?”
