Chapter 111 The big boss, the black-scaled shark

A few kilometers away from Shen Jue, Klido slowly approached the sea area in his large gold coin.

The large gold coin is an object formed from his energy; it is controlled solely by him and is unaffected by external influences.

Because he was unsure whether these merfolk had the ability to deal with flying creatures, he had to fly higher, almost level with the sea pillar.

As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you can see.

These sea pillars are several tens of meters above the sea surface. Kleedo looked around but did not find the merfolk they were talking about.

Realizing he couldn't fly, he decisively threw the Sea-Gathering Pearl into the center of the sea pillar.

By manipulating the Gathering Sea Pearl, the sea's landscape was altered the moment it entered the ocean.

The most obvious change is that the rotating sea columns can no longer spin fast, and they are struggling against the sea pearls in the ocean.

One is the Blackscale Merfolk's ability to control the sea, and the other is the ability to alter ocean phenomena.

The two sides are evenly matched and it is impossible to determine a winner for the time being.

Crito, flying through the air, quietly moved away from the sea pillar.

These sea pillars made him feel uncomfortable and unsafe, so he decided not to go near them.

Almost as soon as he left the sea pillar in front of him, a black figure rushed out from it.

The dark figure was a black-scaled merman, nearly three meters long, with sharp claws and a decent appearance.

The black-scaled merman who rushed out missed his target due to Kleedo's sudden retreat. A few meters away from Kleedo, the two exchanged a glance, a hint of awkwardness in the air. Then, unable to gain leverage in mid-air to get closer to Kleedo, the black-scaled merman fell from the sky.

With a loud splash, it fell into the sea.

Black-scaled Merman: This is an utter disgrace! This is absolutely an utter disgrace!

Historically, anyone who flies in the air and gets close to the sea pillar will have their mind controlled by the tribe, who will then deal with those who want to leave the Black Sea.

For some unknown reason, the raft that was originally very close to them suddenly retreated, and then a leisurely person flew over.

The merfolk had intended to kill as many as possible, but they ended up empty-handed. How could this not be a great disgrace?

I'm sure I'll be laughed at for a long time when I get back.

The merman didn't want to admit his mistake, so he blamed it on the other mermen.

"Hek, your ability to confuse minds isn't working anymore? Why do I feel like this person is perfectly lucid?"

"Anyway, there's nothing wrong with my abilities. As for why he wasn't affected, that's beyond my control. If you fail, you fail. You can't blame me for it. If you blame everything you can't do, can I say that you're incompetent, stupid as a pig, and can't even catch a single person?"

The two merfolk, unable to capture Kleedo, nearly came to blows underwater.

Having narrowly escaped the attack, Kleedo continued to manipulate the Sea-Gathering Pearl. Beneath the surface, the merman who had been controlling the rotating sea pillars had only been distracted by eating melons for a moment before discovering that the pearl that had fallen into the sea was frantically stirring up the area, trying to suck the barrier they had created into the whirlpool.

Some merfolk tried to destroy the pearl, but as soon as they got close, they were repelled by the pearl, which directly suppressed them.

Unlike the merfolk's ability to manipulate the sea, the Gathering Sea Pearl is a self-generating tool. As long as it touches the sea, it will operate endlessly until it forms a deep-sea whirlpool. It is a rare and priceless treasure, and it only ended up in the hands of Krido after many twists and turns.

Using this treasure, Kleedo didn't need to waste much effort. He only needed to activate it simply and throw it into the sea in a straightforward, foolproof way.

The rest relied entirely on the Gathering Sea Pearl operating on its own. With just a little effort from Kleedo, those merfolk who opposed him were already drenched in sweat.

Small eddies that form on the sea surface gradually expand into large eddies.

For a moment, he lost all interest in watching the drama unfold and desperately used his abilities to resist the suction vortex formed by the beads.

The suction vortex and the rotating sea column cancel each other out, seemingly maintaining a balance.

In reality, Juhaizhu held the advantage. It wouldn't be long before Juhaizhu achieved a resounding victory.

The poor merman is still thinking about bringing Krido down from the sky.

He failed repeatedly, after all, such a huge sea column rose from beside or below Kleedo, and Kleedo wasn't blind, so he always managed to dodge it by luck.

Although the merfolk wanted to launch an attack, their attack method was too lengthy. Before the rotating sea pillar could even reach him, Kleedo immediately shifted his position.

He nimbly slipped away. Although he couldn't defeat those mermen head-on, he could run away!

As long as he runs fast enough, the merfolk can't touch him. Kleedo even wants to exhaust the merfolk chasing him to death.

Although, Clyde knew that this was just a figment of his imagination.

Having dodged the merman's attack once again, Kleedo was somewhat angry. When he got angry, Kleedo would increase his mental power, thus enhancing the power of the Gathering Sea Pearl.

As a result, the deep-sea whirlpool gradually expanded, and the rotating sea column became shorter and shorter. The merfolk had no way to deal with Kleedo; neither bewitching nor hypnotizing worked, forcing the merfolk who had captured him to retreat and defend.

Now, Kleedo felt much more at ease, as the merfolk were no longer threatening him.

Kleedo flew up again, leisurely lying on the large gold coin, waiting for the good news of Juhaizhu's great victory.

Shen Jue and the others had been in a video call with Kleedo, and they had seen everything Kleedo had done.

"Cridor, you're something else!" Yang gave a thumbs up, expressing his admiration for Cridor's bold actions.

How come he never noticed before that his good buddy also had a bit of an adventurous streak? Could it be that he was too much of a homebody before? Did he not go out much?

Thinking about this, Yang felt a bit cheated. He should have advised his good brother more when they were sailing before, and maybe they could have become navigation masters together.

“Oh, Clichy, I never expected you to have such a gentlemanly side. This trip has also shown me your decisive and handsome side. If Yang and I weren’t a couple, I think I would have fallen in love with you.” Balsa joked, ignoring Yang’s resentful look beside him.

Shen Jue interrupted their reminiscing, "Brother Ke, from our perspective, has anything unusual happened?"

Shen Jue didn't believe that the final boss guarding the sea only had these tricks up his sleeve; he was sure there were still some powerful moves he hadn't used yet.

“I saw a lot of merfolk. These rotating sea pillars were created by them. Apart from that, the merfolk blocking the way work together quite well, each with their own tasks. I think the mental interference we heard about before wasn't from this group. You need to be careful; they might send a group of merfolk to deal with you.”

"Also, these merfolk can fly, although they can't use the air for leverage and can only leap a short distance. If you fly, you must fly high. Once you see a sea pillar rising below or beside you, stay far away, as these merfolk can ambush you from the sea pillar at any time. You must be careful."

"In a little while, once the deep-sea vortex here is fully formed, those merfolk with the ability to control the sea will be sucked into the deep-sea vortex, and there will be a brief period of uncertainty. We can use this time to rush through in one go."

Crito spoke at length, and finally told them that their raft could approach, and when the time was right, they would accelerate at full speed and cross the Black Sea.

The group thought Crito's suggestion was feasible, and that they should try to escape if they encountered danger.
