Just then, the once turbulent sea suddenly calmed down, as if the death of the Siren King had taken away all the chaos it had created.

However, Wang Fan felt no relief. He knew that although they had won the battle, everyone had paid a heavy price.

Suddenly, the water-repelling pearl slowly emerged from the sunken corpse of the sea monster, emitting a faint light, as if announcing its existence to the world.

I almost forgot about you.

Seeing this, Wang Fan reached out and steadily scooped up the water-repelling pearl. It was warm to the touch and carried a trace of the Sea Demon King's residual aura.

Water-repellent beads

Quality: Purple

(Description: This is a magical treasure that can not only part water currents and manipulate seawater, but also form a powerful defensive shield. Its specific strength is related to the user's mental strength.)

Upon seeing the description of the water-repelling beads, Wang Fan had an idea and decided to conduct an experiment.

Take a deep breath, concentrate all your mind, and slowly pour your mental energy into the water-repelling pearl.

At first, the water-repelling bead only trembled slightly, its light flickering erratically.

Wang Fan gritted his teeth and continued to increase the output of his mental energy.

Gradually, the water-repelling pearl shone brightly, and a transparent shield slowly unfolded around Wang Fan.

The shield was a pale blue, like a flowing curtain of light, with tiny glimmers of light on its surface, making it quite beautiful.

Wang Fan could feel that the shield was closely connected to his mental power, as if it were an extension of his body.

He maintained the shield for a little while longer, confirming that he had a deeper understanding of its strength and how to control it.

Only after slowly withdrawing his mental energy did the shield dissipate.

At this moment, he felt exhausted from the great exertion of his body, but his eyes were full of joy at the powerful abilities of the water-repelling pearl.

Wang Fan knew that if used properly, the water-repelling pearl would be a great asset to him in this perilous maritime world.

After a short rest, he decided to immediately use the water-repelling beads to prepare for his return journey.

Wang Fan once again channeled his spiritual energy into the water-repelling pearl, and it began to glow.

The water-repelling bead quickly created a waterless channel around him.

The passageway is dry and quiet, a stark contrast to the turbulent sea outside.

Wang Fan walked quickly along the passage, with flat seabed sand beneath his feet.

The surrounding area is a curtain of water emitting a faint glow, as if you are in a fantasy world.

However, he had little interest in appreciating this wondrous sight, his heart filled with longing to return to the siren's lair as soon as possible.

Wang Fan hurried back along the waterless passage opened up by the water-repelling pearl.

Upon returning to the siren's lair, Wang Fan immediately began frantically searching for the women.

He was extremely anxious and shouted their names, his voice echoing in the open space.

"Brother, we're here!" A clear voice came from behind a half-hidden rock on the right. Wang Fan was overjoyed, recognizing Xiao Meng's voice.

He hurriedly ran towards the direction of the sound, splashing water everywhere with his feet.

Arriving at the women's side, he saw that although they were all safe and sound, they looked extremely disheveled.

They were soaking wet, their clothes clinging to their bodies, with water droplets constantly dripping from the hems.

Qin Xiaoxuan's hair was messily stuck to her cheeks, and a few strands of wet hair covered her slightly pale face.

There was a wound on her arm, and bright red blood was slowly seeping out, staining her clothes blood red.

Hua Nianci wasn't in much better shape; her skirt had a large tear in it.

The wound on his calf was exposed, with blood mixed with seawater, making it look particularly jarring.

She covered her wound with one hand, her body trembling slightly, and large beads of sweat on her forehead mingled with the seawater, making them indistinguishable.

The sisters, Su Yaqi and Su Yalin, leaned against each other. Su Yaqi had a shallow scratch on her shoulder, though the wound wasn't deep.

But the sight of blood trickling down her arm was heartbreaking.

Su Yalin had a bruise on her calf, which was probably caused by hitting a hard reef when the Siren King used the water-repelling pearl to attack her.

Wang Fan was extremely anxious and rushed forward to check on things.

"Is everyone alright?" he asked, quickly taking out the wound medicine he carried with him from his system inventory.

At this moment, Xiaomeng timidly stepped out from behind the crowd, her eyes red, clearly having just cried. "Brother, I...I'm fine, but the sisters are all injured."

With a sob in her voice, Xiao Meng said remorsefully, "If I were stronger, I could have helped my sisters withstand the Siren King's attack."

Looking at Xiaomeng, who was blaming herself, Wang Fan patted her head tenderly and comforted her, "Xiaomeng, you've done very well. It's not your fault; it's just that the Siren King is too cunning and powerful."

As he spoke, Wang Fan carefully applied the wound medicine to the bruises on Su Yalin's calves and gently massaged it to relieve her pain.

"Come on, Xiaomeng, help everyone apply the medicine." Wang Fan handed Xiaomeng a bottle of wound medicine, hoping to get her involved and distract her from her feelings of guilt.

Xiao Meng quickly took the medicine bottle and began applying the medicine to everyone.

After treating Su Yalin's bruises, Wang Fan checked the wounds of the others.

Only after confirming that everything had been handled properly did I breathe a sigh of relief.

……………

He then patiently inquired about what had happened.

At that time, everyone was engaged in a fierce battle with the Siren King.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable to him, the Sea King frantically activated the Water-Repelling Pearl.

In an instant, the seawater surged and churned like a ferocious beast, forming a huge whirlpool and towering walls of water that rushed towards the group.

Under that overwhelming attack, everyone was instantly scattered.

Qin Xiaoxuan was hit by a huge current of water and almost swept into the depths of the whirlpool.

I struggled to grab a rock, but my arm was still cut by the sharp rocks.

While dodging the water wall, Hua Nianci was violently struck by the undercurrent and slammed onto a nearby coral reef, injuring her knees and the hem of her skirt.

Sisters Su Yaqi and Su Yalin supported each other, but were also separated by the flood in the chaos.

Su Yalin even accidentally bumped into a hard rock, leaving bruises on her calves.

Xiao Meng was only spared because she was in a good position at the time.

Wang Fan, due to the influence of the Bloodthirsty Battle Halberd, was enveloped in killing intent.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he had only one thought in his mind—to kill the Siren King.

The strange power emanating from the Bloodthirsty Halberd seemed to ignite the bloodlust hidden deep within his heart.

He charged toward the Siren King recklessly, ignoring everything around him and completely oblivious to the danger the women were in.
