This news immediately caused a stir throughout the entire sea area.

Although the other sea creatures dared not approach Shi Wuxie, it did not stop them from spreading the news quickly.

Naturally, this also reached the ears of the Sharkmen.

The Sharkmen lived some distance away, and it would take them some time to get here. But since their prince had been killed, they certainly couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

If they choose to swallow their anger, how will they survive in the sea in the future?

Therefore, a large number of shark-men are now chasing after Shi Wuxie, their sheer numbers causing all the creatures in the sea to tremble in fear.

Shi Wuxie was completely unaware of the Sharkmen's actions, and he wasn't harming them at all. In his eyes, those Sharkmen were nothing more than Sea Spirit Pearls.

These past few days, with plenty of shark meat, he has been eating with great relish, and the mermaids have naturally enjoyed the feast as well. Now they understand why humans love cooked food; it is indeed exceptionally delicious.

After traveling for about half a month, Shi Wuxie finally arrived at Salt Crystal Island.

Looking at the island before him, Shi Wuxie finally understood why it was named that way.

This is an island made of salt crystals, with crystal-clear salt crusts everywhere, resembling pagodas sculpted from white snow, each with a different shape, making it a truly magnificent sight.

If it weren't for the unique, damp salty taste of sea salt, Shi Wuxie would almost have thought he had arrived at an island in the sea.

"Our benefactors, we have completed our mission and repaid our debt of gratitude, so we will be leaving now."

Upon arriving at their destination, the three mermaids' first reaction was to make a run for it, and they happily waved goodbye to Shi Wuxie.

Thinking to myself, I can finally get rid of this troublesome person.

"You can't leave yet."

Before they could even celebrate, Shi Wuxie's cold voice rang out, "I've heard that the most precious thing inside this salt crystal is the salt crystal marrow. I don't know how to find it, so you'll have to help me."

"No, benefactor, we said we were only responsible for bringing you to this place, not for helping you find your things."

The three mermaids were a little angry after hearing this, feeling that Shi Wuxie was being unreasonable. "This is not what we agreed on before."

"Can't the employers and employees change their minds now?"

Shi Wuxie looked at them with a smile and said without any urgency, "You all know that I have offended the Shark Clan. They will definitely come to seek revenge soon, so time is of the essence. If you don't help me, it will take up a lot of time."

“My benefactor, this is your own business now.”

Hearing this logic, the three mermaids turned red with anger. "We're also afraid of the Shark Clan's retaliation. Staying here for even a minute longer is dangerous, so we have to leave quickly."

"Can't you just help people to the end?"

After finishing his sentence, Shi Wuxie sighed and said, "Besides, do you really think we can make it?"

"My benefactor, what do you mean by that?"

Upon hearing this, the three mermaids, who had been somewhat hesitant, instantly darkened their expressions. "Are you trying to force us?"

These mermaids don't even use the formal "you" anymore.

"I remember saying that I can only be the one to wrong others, not the other way around."
