NOVPUBJust then, a voice rang out abruptly, putting an end to the farce.
"Enough! Wu Monkey King, Fu, both of you, stop!"
"Hee!"
Upon hearing the voice of its master, the Wu Monkey King immediately ceased, but not before taking the opportunity to growl menacingly at the giant lizard Fu, who reflexively shrank back in fright.
"Wu Monkey King!"
Wang Ba uttered softly, a hint of helplessness flashed across his eyes.
Half a month had passed since their last encounter with the supposed ’Membrane Eye’.
The two humans and the beast found another island where they temporarily stopped for rest.
While it was close to the sea barrier, it was calm, so he let the Wu Monkey King out to continue fishing and roasting fish.
He also allowed Fu to move freely around the island.
Unexpectedly, the two Spirit Beasts began to fight.
However, it seemed that although both Spirit Beasts were of upper-grade Class III, the larger-bodied Fu was clearly no match for the Wu Monkey King.
This was expected since the Wu Monkey King had been with him for many years. Even if it hadn’t been through hundreds of battles, it had survived multiple life and death crises. Naturally, an immature creature like Fu was disregarded.
Even though Fu possessed the powerful ability to manipulate Yuanci, it still wasn’t a match for the Wu Monkey King.
Despite this, Wang Ba still had to soothe Fu.
After all, it was just an infant of less than a year old. It was bullying by the Wu Monkey King.
Fu looked pitiful as it saw Wang Ba approaching. Fu rubbed its head vigorously against Wang Ba’s body.
Its head was too big though, so Wang Ba was bumped a little away from his original spot.
Helplessly, Wang Ba had to materialize a Dharma Hand using Mother Qi of Dharmas and comfort Fu.
At this point, Fu suddenly remembered something and hurriedly opened its mouth.
It made a ’puke’ sound.
Its lower mandibular membrane quivered as fish, shrimps, and other sea beasts fell out of its mouth.
Wang Ba looked with a hint of surprise.
"You had some luck today. You caught several Class II demonic beasts... Huh?"
Wang Ba’s gaze narrowed and the Dharma Hand instantly reached into this pile of saliva-covered things, and immediately pulled out something that looked like an otter.
"A Hole-digging Otter?"
Wang Ba exclaimed the creature’s name in surprise.
Sensing the movement, the adorable-looking grey Hole-digging Otter instantly crawled out of the saliva pile and tried to jump toward the nearby sea water.
However, it was caught by a blue tongue and pulled back, forcibly held by Wang Ba’s Dharma Hand.
The Hole-digging Otter immediately closed its eyes, playing dead as soon as it was held down.
Fu, being simple-minded, instantly dropped its guard.
The moment the blue tongue loosened its grip, the cunning Hole-digging Otter instantly tried to escape again, but before it could reach the water, it was pulled back by the blue tongue.
"To think it’s a fully conscious Spirit Beast... Quite a rare find."
Watching the back and forth between Fu and the Hole-digging Otter, Wang Ba expressed his amazement.
He had spent three to four months in these waters but never encountered a conscious Spirit Beast. Coming across one now was indeed a novel experience.
Qin Lingxiao arrived at this time and saw the cute-looking Hole-digging Otter, his curiosity piqued.
"What is this? A Spirit Beast?"
Wang Ba nonchalantly answered, "This is a Hole-digging Otter, a rarer form of top-grade Class II Spirit Beast. Unlike regular otters, it excels at digging and often burrows through underwater mountains, usually found near the shore…"
But as soon as he finished speaking, Wang Ba suddenly froze.
"Wait... Near the shore?"
"Could it be that we’re already nearing the coast?"
