I can't believe this businessman's business is actually a chain.

Was his plan for us from the very beginning to lure us in and then capture us?

In other words, the little fish and turtle at the beginning, the rooms that followed, and the related clues were all tailor-made for us!

At that moment, I couldn't help but recall the description of the seaweed monster in that room.

If you can't kill him, submit to him.

I suspect this doesn't refer to puppets made of seaweed.

Instead, they're talking about this terrifying merchant in front of them, who possesses numerous magical artifacts and is skilled in strategic planning!

First, lure passing travelers, even the smallest and strangest creatures, into the traps they have already set.

Then, countless checkpoints and traps are set up to catch the prey as much as possible.

Driven by profit and speculative mentality, it's hard for anyone to escape.

In addition, there is the chronic toxic hypnosis that begins as soon as the product enters the sea, and the slow weakening of the numb limbs.

Such a combination of punches is truly hard to resist!

Let alone someone like us who is completely unprepared.

To be honest, at first I thought this guy was a really conscientious businessman.

But I never expected him to be so ruthless.

This not only violates the most basic principle of integrity for businessmen, but also attempts to harm us!

No, I would even say that this guy can no longer be called a businessman, but a local tyrant!

At the same time, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that there was such a dark place in the sea area of ​​the Dragon Palace.

This atmosphere doesn't feel like the Dragon Palace to me, but rather like the Underworld.

As I watched the runes slowly being drawn on the seabed beneath my feet, they became more and more complete.

I started to panic.

The girl beside him remained unconscious.

"If you do this, stop the incantation, and we can discuss the rest later."

I slowly began to throw bait at him.

"Oh? You actually have some sense of public morality, huh? You know how powerful my curse is?"

The businessman's attitude finally eased a bit, after all, he had painstakingly developed this area.

To destroy it so easily would be a great loss for him.

If he chooses to cooperate with me, he can not only avoid this loss, but also gain the girl's energy.

Although the girl was weakened by more than half and has not fully recovered, the energy contained within her is still quite astonishing.

At least in front of this businessman who had seen many capable people, Yiyi's ability to stand out was the best proof.

I couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

With Yiyi currently unconscious and the Thunder Strike Sword greatly weakened, we'll have to outsmart them first!

However, I was quite wrong to say that I had any sense of public morality.

But if this curse is actually made, I will be the direct victim.

From his perspective, the Seaquake Curse probably wouldn't affect him personally.

The curse was likely modified by him.

The extent to which this curse could cause such a massive explosion and tremor must also be within his control!

What I fear is that he will give extra protection to the girl in front of him, while he will kill me with all his might!

The lightning sword beside me is a sword spirit, and it will probably continue to exist in the form of a sword spirit.

Does that mean I've become the only victim?

The formation of a spell still requires a certain amount of time.

"I don't know what kind of evil magic you used to obtain this curse, but I advise you to stop using it to swindle people in the future! This kind of harmful stuff should be destroyed immediately!"

I blurted out what was on my mind.

But at this moment, the merchants seemed to be suddenly ignited again.

The muscles in his arm began to burst open, and dark red blood seeped out from the gaps between the bursting muscles.

It looked like blood squeezed from raw meat.

How many people did this guy eat?

The ability to mobilize such power in a short period of time is definitely not something that can be achieved overnight.

Seeing that reconciliation was impossible, and that I could not possibly hand over the girl beside me, I knew I had no choice but to agree.

Suddenly, another idea popped into my head.

I continued to kick my legs forcefully, pushing myself and the girl back a little.

The businessman then threw a powerful punch at us.

I pretended to swing my sword, pointing the Thunderstrike Sword and forcefully slashing at the center of the spell patterns.

The Thunder Strike Sword seemed to understand my hint, so it pretended to be high up, clearly in a proud posture, and charged up its power to strike the center of the circular magic circle.

"Trying to break this formation with this piece of junk? Wishful thinking."

The merchant uttered each word clearly.

Upon hearing this, the Thunder Strike Sword seemed to instantly become red-hot, and the speed of the entire blade increased significantly.

Within a few short seconds, the merchant had used all his skills to manipulate the vibrations of the seawater and to deflate the mermaid lamp in his hand.

He frantically mobilized his energy, trying to reinforce the formation, while the vast expanse of coral beneath the sea thrashed about even more violently, as if hundreds of hands were trying their best to grasp the breath of a living person.

Seeing that the lightning sword's speed did not stop, the merchant pushed the mermaid lamp in his hand over.

At the same time, focusing one's gaze on the mermaid lamp causes it to release poisonous gas at a significantly faster rate, making it a veritable smoke bomb.

"Master, you really know how to give me a tough challenge!"

Seeing Lei Jijian in such a state, I immediately sheathed my sword, put down the girl in my hand, and then lunged towards the merchant's left side.

During this fight, I could clearly see that his left hand was his blind spot, and he mainly relied on the bell and mermaid lamp in his right hand to control the situation.

The dragon scales on my wrist instantly gleamed with a cold light.

Great, this is the perfect time!

The dragon scale claws were so sharp that they sliced ​​the bell off his hand.

"Depend on!"

I actually shouted those words out in unison with the businessman in front of me.

When the merchant saw the bell in his hand shatter, his expression changed drastically, as if his beloved treasure had been broken.

I was surprised that the blow hadn't severed his entire arm.

However, the businessman's expression now is exactly what I expected.

Without the interference of the bell, the vibration of the seawater around me instantly decreased significantly, and I could sense the state of the Thunderstrike Sword, which had also recovered somewhat.

The merchant appeared utterly devastated, one arm outstretched, the other much thinner and adorned with seaweed and algae, embracing his weathered head.

I put my arm around the girl and looked at her closely. At this moment, the girl's brows, which had been furrowed in her coma, began to relax slightly!

Within a few short seconds, it seemed that due to the fall of its bell, the energy stolen from the merchant's body began to become slightly disordered.

I immediately followed up with a vicious attack.

Clang!

I pointed at the broken wrist joint of the bell in the merchant's hand and waved it over again.

The sound was crisp yet powerful.

The merchant was immediately knocked several meters away!

Isn't it a bull coin?
