NOVPUBUnderneath the pitch-black sea surface.
Countless shadows, as if detecting an unknown fear, were frantically scattering and fleeing, not even having time to devour the broken limbs and bits of flesh that had fallen on the sea surface!
Wang Ba followed the direction and couldn’t help but look into the distance.
There, a massive shadow, vaguely triangular in shape, was lazily swimming up from under the sea…
Even with the isolation of sea water, spiritual senses couldn’t probe into the water below.
Yet having seen this spectacle, Wang Ba’s expression still became quite serious.
Having returned to its normal state, the Wu Monkey King, standing only two feet high, quietly jumped onto Wang Ba’s shoulder, baring its teeth, also full of caution as it looked down.
Although it didn’t see the specific form of the triangular shadow, the inherent intuition of being a Spirit Beast made its golden fur stand on end.
Suddenly, under the somewhat solemn gaze of Wang Ba and the Wu Monkey King.
The large triangular shadow silently swam to the vicinity of the island where the decoy had been violently torn apart by the Wu Monkey King and dropped into the sea, slowing down to a halt.
A section of slick, but unidentifiable body glided over the black water, and then silently sank back into the water.
After several passes, all the broken limbs on the sea surface had disappeared.
After pausing under the sea for a while, the giant triangular shadow seemed to be unable to detect the smell of food, so it slowly swam in the opposite direction of the island.
Seeing this scene, both Wang Ba and the Wu Monkey King couldn’t help letting out a sigh of relief.
A sense of gravity flooded Wang Ba’s heart.
"I didn’t expect to encounter a class IV beast here."
"Was it attracted by the explosion just now?"
"I wonder if it’s a demonic beast or a spirit beast…"
Demonic beasts lack self-awareness and only act on instinct, whereas spirit beasts often possess spirituality, especially when they reach Class III, which gives them a sense of self that is similar to a child from the human race.
A Class IV Spirit Beast has cognition no different from a human.
If Wang meets a Class IV Spirit Beast, there might be a possibility of negotiation, but if it’s a demonic beast, a fierce battle is basically inevitable. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Luckily, this deep-sea alien beast seemed to have either not discovered Wang Ba and the Wu Monkey King, or it simply was not interested.
The triangular shadow finally moved farther and farther away.
Seeing the triangular shadow finally leaving, Wang Ba breathed a sigh of relief.
This deep sea alien beast’s aura was roughly at the lower grade of Class IV.
But it could move freely in the deep sea filled with Yuanci’s power, which obviously makes it very adaptable to the special environment here.
However, both Wang Ba and the Wu Monkey King were influenced by the power of Yuanci, their strength greatly restrained.
Considering their disadvantage, not even working together were they a match for the creature.
Moreover, before departing, the treasure given to him by his elders was almost exhausted, and his Mysterious Dragon soldiers had suffered heavy losses due to the corrosion of Yuanci’s power. They were not as effective as before.
In the current state, Wang Ba had no confidence in his heart when facing such a deep-sea alien beast with unknown bottlenecks.
On the island.
Seeing Wang Ba’s serious face in the air, Qin Lingxiao couldn’t help being slightly surprised.
She vaguely remembered what happened before she passed out and remembered being dragged and squeezed into the deep sea due to a change in the geographical position she was sharing with Wang Ba.
Under the erosion of Yuanci’s power and the intense impact of the water, she quickly lost consciousness.
She wasn’t sure what happened afterwards.
"Did Wang Ba save me?"
This guess unconsciously came to her mind.
Only she and Wang Ba were taken by the geographical position and both entered the sea water filled with strong Yuanci’s power.
If Wang Ba had not rescued her, she would not have been able to escape from the sea with her condition back then.
"Including the entrance to the geographical position, he...saved me twice."
A glimmer of complexity flashed in Qin Lingxiao’s eyes.
But it quickly subsided.
The recently awakened and somewhat bewildered woman, seeing Wang Ba’s serious expression, also took off unconsciously and looked towards the sea surface.
However, the next moment, she couldn’t help but look down and exclaim in shock:
"My...my Mana..."
In her exclamation, her body fell straight down.
Luckily, her foundation as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator remained. Before she fell to the ground and lost her dignity, she managed to use the last bit of her mana to land haphazardly.
Then, compelled by the urgency, she promptly drew her greatly weakened spiritual sense into her Dantian, and her complexion quickly turned pale.
"How could there be so little mana left? And my soul also…"
"You were corroded by Yuanci’s power, so it’s normal for your mana and soul to have decreased significantly."
A calming voice suddenly came.
Qin Lingxiao looked towards the source of the sound. Seeing Wang Ba and the small monkey on his shoulder, she finally eased her face.
Barely calming her emotions, her attitude softened a little:
"Wang...Wang my friend, where are we?"
Wang Ba simply shook his head:
"I don’t know."
Seeing Qin Lingxiao’s doubtful eyes, Wang Ba didn’t explain, he only pointed up to the sky where the time of the day was indistinguishable.
It was a chaos there, where the sun, moon, and stars could not be seen, and there was no distinction between night and day.
Qin Lingxiao followed Wang Ba’s pointed direction and was also taken aback.
Just looking at the surrounding environment, she couldn’t judge the exact position.
However, as a member of the royal family, Qin Lingxiao quickly regained her calm. Although she had been saved by Wang Ba, her pride resided in her heart and she confidently said:
