NOVPUBAfter confirming that the seawater was secluded, he plunged back into it.
In a short while, he dragged a beautiful woman who seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep with her eyes shut tightly, from the sea and threw her onto the small island’s shore with great effort.
Strangely, the woman laid on the shore with her eyes still closed and without any signs of breathing.
However, her life force mysteriously remained intact.
After getting the woman onto the island, he did not stop, but quickly dived back into the water.
This time his delve took longer and when he surfaced once again.
However, this time he was dragging a middle-aged man with a unique facial color, who also seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
Soon, the second one, the third one, the fourth one ...
In total, seven people.
All of them were hauled onto the shore by him.
After completing this feat, he quickly crawled onto the shore himself.
The loaches on his face were quickly stripped off.
As soon as he crawled ashore, he placed a talisman on each of these people.
However, he still seemed somewhat restless, so he stuffed an explosive magic tool into each of their mouths.
He muttered to himself, "That should be safe now."
He then turned his gaze towards the loaches on his body, a trace of sadness and regret flashing in his eyes.
"Over a thousand Mysterious Dragon Soldiers are now reduced to just over a hundred. To recover the original number, I’m afraid it will take at least 10 years."
"But without this sacrifice, I would have been like them and consumed all my mana, even falling into a deep sleep until my body exhaustion led to suffocation and death…"
The man was naturally Wang Ba.
Apart from regret, he couldn’t help but recall the recent events.
After provoking the demonic beast hiding within the barrier by shattering it using the Divine Skills of Golden Halberd Iron Horse, it rained seawater permeated with Yuanci energy.
This was also a crucial step in his plan.
The situation quickly turned chaotic due to this.
He immediately took advantage of the chaos and hid within the geographical position and started moving towards Yundang under the lead of Lou Yi.
Unexpectedly though, just after reaching a short distance, the geographical position experienced a drastic change.
Because he earlier noticed cultivators from Tupi Continent following, he naturally and dutifully took the rear-guard position as he had the full strength.
As a result, the geographical position’s reversed gravitational force directly sucked away the Golden Core craftsmen of the Feather Serpent Tribe along with him and Qin Lingxiao.
Due to the geographical position’s seldom influence from outside and rare abrupt changes, Wang Ba’s first thought was that Ming Shan was behind it.
Previously, due to Ming Shan’s influence, they were forced to come to Elong Beach.
Therefore, it was typical of Ming Shan to be the trickster.
It was just that Wang Ba had not expected that despite destroying Ming Shan’s physical body, he would still fall for the trap.
Honestly, since arriving at Elong Beach, the first Nascent Soul cultivator Wang Ba wanted to eliminate was Ming Shan.
That’s because Ming Shan could mobilize the geographical position and posed the biggest threat to their escape.
In the past, Wang Ba used every available means, and excluding those divine skills, all were targeted at Ming Shan to prevent any mishap.
Unfortunately, he was still unable to save Ming Shan’s life and had to provide Ming Shan with a counterattack opportunity. 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
This made him sigh at the intricacy of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
"My cultivation base is still too low!"
Wang Ba secretly thought.
Although his cultivation speed was not slow, and counting on his fingers, he had been cultivating for only fifty or sixty years.
In such a short period, he had advanced from a mere mortal to the late-stage of foundation establishment.
This pace was not slow even in the Wanxiang Sect, let alone him cultivating five methods at the same time.
However, these thoughts were quickly erased from his mind.
Now was not the time to think about this. The first thing was to identify his position.
But he soon discovered that due to the influence of the strong Yuanci power around him, his spiritual sense only covered a few miles, barely covering this small island.
However, it was utterly impossible to probe further.
Similarly, due to the influence of Yuanci power, flying was extremely difficult for him.
Under Yuanci’s power, the consumption of mana exceeded the norm. However, compared to Qin Lingxiao and the Golden Core craftsmen, he was much better off.
After being soaked in the seawater filled with Yuanci power, the mana on their bodies had almost been wiped out.
Because of Yuanci’s power’s corrosive effect on the cultivator’s body, Qin Lingxiao’s Dantian had even withered a lot.
After careful examination, he found that Qin Lingxiao’s mana storage was now equivalent to that of a mid-low-grade Qi Realm cultivator.
Perhaps because of the excessive loss of mana, that was what caused Qin Lingxiao and the others to fall into unconsciousness and didn’t wake up.
Wang Ba hesitated a bit before feeding Qin Lingxiao some chicken essence.
Compared to the fierceness of elixirs, chicken essence does not require deliberate refining by the cultivator and can be slowly absorbed by the body on its own.
This was perfect for the current situation, without worry about over supplementation.
Subsequently, Wang Ba looked at the other seven Golden Core craftsmen of the Feather Serpent Tribe.
Among these seven warriors, four were at the late-stage of Golden Core, and three were at the middle-stage.
There wasn’t any Golden Core warriors at the early-stage. Presumably, those weaker had long been eliminated.
