Su Rui rubbed his temples while racking his brains to figure out how to snatch the precious green-skinned sea snake from the mouths of these ferocious sea loaches, hoping to use its bones to build a large ship. However, just as he was at his wit's end, a gigantic creature suddenly appeared, instantly extinguishing the last shred of hope in his heart.
He had no choice but to stay in the group of sea loaches and swam silently to a relatively safe edge, intending to watch a fierce fight between the sea loaches and the person on the back of the dragon turtle.
But who could have imagined that upon seeing each other, the sea loaches not only showed no aggression or defensive posture, but instead happily wagged their heads and tails like pets seeing their owners, and went straight to greet them. This sudden scene left Su Rui completely stunned.
His eyes widened in disbelief at the scene before him, and he thought to himself, "This is completely different from what I expected! These sea eels look so ferocious they could bite even a rock, but now they're being so fawning and begging for mercy from the dragon claw. This is really unexpected!"
“Ah…”
The dragon claw let out a deafening roar, resounding through the sky, as if it were about to tear the air apart. Terrified, the sea eels quickly moved out of the way, revealing the motionless figure of the green-skinned sea snake floating on the water.
A figure flew out from the palace on the dragon's back, riding a white dragon. As gracefully as a fairy, she landed beside the green-skinned sea snake. Then, she stretched out her delicate hand and, with a single hand, effortlessly lifted the green-skinned sea snake's massive body from the water. This scene left Su Rui, watching from a distance, stunned, her eyes wide open.
At first, he was astonished by her incredible strength. She could lift such a massive green-skinned sea snake so easily. But this time, he was surprised by her appearance. When he saw her face clearly, he felt an indescribable sense of familiarity. She looked incredibly similar to his childhood friend from Tongqu County, Wu Qianqian.
His heart was filled with confusion and shock, as if the entire world had become blurry at that moment. Who was this mysterious woman? Why did she possess such astonishing power? And why did she look so much like Wu Qianqian? Countless questions swirled in his mind, but he couldn't find the answers.
His eyes were fixed on her, trying to find some clue from her every move. Every movement she made was so graceful, as if it contained endless strength and confidence. Her eyes revealed a determination and courage that made him fall in love with her.
Su Rui's emotions became increasingly difficult to suppress, and excitement surged in his heart like a tide. He was eager to get closer to her and confirm whether she was Wu Qianqian. Shi Yi had said that Wu Qianqian had joined a physical training sect, but he hadn't mentioned that the sect she joined was in the South China Sea!
Just when his heart was pounding, the figure had already picked up the green-skinned sea snake and rode the white dragon gracefully back to the palace on the back of the dragon turtle.
"If only Shi Yi were still here, he would definitely be able to see it!"
Su Rui couldn't help but sigh inwardly, but he didn't stop. Without hesitation, he squeezed into the school of sea loaches and swam towards Long Ao. As he swam, he was surprised to find that many other sea loaches were also swimming towards Long Ao without hesitation. The other sea loaches did not stop him, seemingly acquiescing to their behavior, allowing them to separate from the school and join Long Ao's forces.
When the green-skinned sea serpent was brought to the palace on the dragon's back, time seemed to freeze. Less than a quarter of an hour later, a multicolored light, like a brilliant rainbow, burst forth from the palace, showering the sea loaches like flowers scattered by a fairy. The sea loaches instantly went into a frenzy, rioting and desperately scrambling for the multicolored light.
Su Rui, relying on his own strength, bravely knocked away the surrounding sea loaches, finally snatching a bit of the multicolored light. The light landed in his hand, as if it had life, instantly transforming into a milky white grain of rice. The grain, barely the size of a fingernail, exuded an alluring rice fragrance. The vast energy surged towards him like a surging wave, mingled with a hint of the aura of a true dragon.
This miraculous gift was awe-inspiring, the aura of a true dragon emanating from it, like a mysterious power from ancient times, leaving one feeling endlessly astonished. No wonder the sea loaches willingly surrendered the green-skinned sea snake, treating it with the docile demeanor of a pet. In their inherited memories, becoming a dragon is a supreme pursuit, even stronger than the human obsession with immortality.
Consuming this food imbued with the aura of a true dragon for a long time will inevitably lead to an increase in strength, and the chances of transforming into a true dragon will also greatly increase. This is an indescribable desire, a yearning for power and glory.
After shedding its colorful light, the dragon's claw began to move slowly. Every step it took seemed to carry the weight of a thousand years, carrying an awe-inspiring aura.
Su Rui and a group of followers made up of various creatures surrounded the dragon claw tightly, their eyes flashing with enthusiasm and expectation, as if they were chasing a sacred goal.
As the dragon turtle swam, Su Rui felt an inexplicable excitement. However, when the dragon turtle lowered its head and gulped down the seawater, Su Rui's mood suddenly became tense. He watched helplessly as many of the "followers" who approached the dragon turtle were mercilessly sucked into its stomach and became its food. At this moment, Su Rui was filled with astonishment. He suddenly realized that following the dragon turtle was not an easy task, but was fraught with danger.
Su Rui realized that there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Whether in the human world or in nature, you have to pay a price for what you want. He was overwhelmed with emotion, and a deep reverence for life welled up in his heart. In this complex world, every living thing struggles for survival, and even a powerful creature like the dragon claw cannot afford to be complacent.
However, although he felt emotional, he was not aware of the need to share the same fate with this group of followers.
He found a slightly hidden place behind Long Ao, and then he turned into an iron-winged vulture. He grabbed a sea loach near him and soared into the sky, and finally landed steadily on the branch of a crooked tree on Long Ao's back.
After landing, he saw a monkey in the hill, so he quickly transformed into his own body of the ape. However, this time he used the Sumeru character technique to make himself only five or six feet tall, which was exactly the height of a normal monkey.
The ten-foot-long sea loach had already been stuffed into the space of the copper ring.
Just as he was about to blend into the monkey group, a deafening sound rang in his ears.
"I smell the aura of Yuan Shen on you... Who are you? What are you trying to do by breaking into the Putuo Sect's mountain gate?"
Su Rui paused and looked around, but didn't see anyone approaching, and his heart tightened.
"I have an old friend who lives in a palace on the mountain. I want to go see her!"
Su Rui pondered for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth about the purpose of this trip.
