"What's on the other side of the sea?"
"ah?"
Taotie shook its head and said, "An island."
Qin Sheng nodded, thankfully no one picked up on the joke.
Patting Taotie's head, Qin Sheng said, "You haven't forgotten what you just remembered, have you?"
Taotie nodded, and its calamity-level aura rapidly subsided, soon becoming as ordinary as a stone.
Scanning the surroundings, one by one, strange figures appeared near the coast, awaiting Qin Sheng's orders.
Since they didn't yet know the situation in Feiying City, Qin Sheng didn't let them alert the enemy. Instead, he gave them some medicine and told them to wait until they had investigated the situation in Feiying City before making a decision.
"Put this on."
He handed Yu Rui a gray fur cloak, and then Qin Sheng put it on himself.
At this moment, his presence seemed to be diminished; if Yu Rui hadn't been watching him closely, he would have been easily overlooked.
Living weapons created by utilizing the stealth capabilities of mythical beasts.
Although it doesn't significantly boost combat effectiveness, its functionality is its strength.
Qin Sheng also produced quite a few of these living weapons.
The two flew in the air, but after a while the coastline behind them became blurred.
"roar!"
Huge ripples spread across the azure sea, and then a huge black shadow appeared beneath the water, leaping out of the surface like a roc!
Boom!
Its massive, sky-covering shape crashed onto the sea, sending up a spray of water everywhere.
Qin Sheng looked thoughtful as he watched the leaping whale spout a towering column of water, then took out a vial of medicine.
Instead of injecting it into the whale, he crushed it and let it slowly flow down his palm, merging into the ocean below.
"It won't be effective if it's diluted."
Obviously, it's unrealistic to control an entire sea area with just one drug, but...
Watching the whale open its terrifying mouth and swallow a large area of fish and shrimp, Qin Sheng still threw out a few vials of medicine.
It all depends on which lucky beasts will be blessed with this fortune.
The whale slowly sank to the bottom of the sea, leaving only a few ripples to prove that the place was not peaceful just moments before.
Shortly after the little incident, the two saw an island emerging in the distance, but it wasn't as Yu Rui had imagined; the ocean was just outside the city walls.
There are still many open spaces around the city walls, and strange beasts are active above them, but they all seem to be amphibious.
"There are others?" Yu Rui asked, puzzled.
"That's normal," Qin Sheng said calmly. "Too many strange beasts gathering would threaten the city walls. Besides, it's artificial land after all, so there might be a risk of it collapsing."
"So this land was also built to defend against alien beasts?"
Qin Sheng nodded: "Most likely, it can isolate some of the strange beasts that only inhabit the ocean."
Seeing this, Qin Sheng gained a rough understanding of the general situation in Feiying City.
They also had an idea for the first challenge of their trip—how to infiltrate Flying Cherry City.
His gaze fell on Yu Rui, looking her up and down, which made Yu Rui feel a little awkward.
"grown ups?"
Qin Sheng narrowed his eyes: "Now it's your turn to shine."
Yu Rui: "Huh?"
...
"Baka! Why is it our Orochi family that's responsible for this dirty and tiring work?"
A gruff voice rang out, and the samurai, dressed in Japanese armor and wearing a demon mask, swore loudly.
"Ryota-kun, please say less."
A figure dressed in a black samurai outfit, wiping his katana, spoke up and sighed, "Our Orochi clan has no venerable one; it's already a miracle that we can still exist in Flying Cherry City."
"Fuma Megumi, I don't agree with what you're saying."
Ryota Inuyama removed his mask, revealing his slightly immature face below.
"One day! I too will become a Venerable One! And lead the Orochi Clan to rebuild the glory of the underworld clans!"
He raised his katana, aiming it at the distant city wall. The blood of the strange beasts stained on it shone brightly in the sunlight, just as his vision had been.
Fuma Megumi shook her head, threw a rag onto his katana, and slowly wiped away the blood that shimmered in the sunlight.
"Hurry up and dismember the body; we still need to check the next anchor point."
Fuma Megumi got up and began to process the strange beast with spikes all over its back, which were materials for making weapons.
Although I've heard there's an even more impressive living weapon, it has nothing to do with them.
Ryota Inuyama joined in, his mouth never stopping.
"Once I return from this mission, I'll be able to exchange for the family's enhancement potions. Then I can use the potions' power to continue..."
Fuma Megumi just rolled her eyes at her muttering, letting it go in one ear and out the other.
The enhancement potion isn't something just anyone can inject; if the compatibility isn't good enough, the only outcome will be death by explosion.
As for compatibility, only a handful out of ten thousand people would be a suitable match, so he didn't think the person next to him would be a good fit.
While muttering to herself, Fuma Megumi paused, catching a glimpse of two figures that had appeared out of nowhere.
"who?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ryota Inuyama turned around abruptly.
A pair of scarlet eyes appeared before him, and before he could draw his sword, the syringe of the medicine was already inserted into his neck.
Fuma Megumi felt the same way; in an instant, both of them felt something was wrong with their bodies and knelt on the ground with expressions of pain.
"These two are a good match." Qin Sheng nodded in satisfaction.
After searching with Qin Sheng for many people, Yu Rui shook her head and felt that they were not suitable. However, after listening to the conversation between the two, Yu Rui immediately realized that the Orochi family was a good choice.
Especially Ryota Inuyama, who is young and ambitious.
The former suggests that his aversion to the alien genes is not very strong, and the power brought by the potion can satisfy his ambition.
In this situation, there will be no instances of unwavering loyalty or refusal to submit even at the cost of death.
In Qin Sheng's view, these two are a very good start.
If the Creation Cult were left unchecked, it would be a terrifying plague, spreading at an astonishing speed.
Even in the case of a plague, the first infected person must be carefully selected.
If we were to choose an island keeper who doesn't interact with anyone for a whole year, that would be absolutely unsuitable.
Their words revealed a great deal of information.
The first point is that the Orochi family was once no weaker than the Miyamoto family, but it declined because of the appearance of the Venerable One.
The fact that the Orochi clan could still survive under the rule of the Miyamoto family, who had a Venerable One, proves that the Orochi clan also had considerable influence, making it an excellent choice for quickly taking control of Hiei Castle.
After a short while, their conditions gradually stabilized.
Ryota Inuyama excitedly stood up and, without any energy, punched the ground beneath his feet!
With a loud bang, a ten-centimeter-wide crater appeared, and cracks also appeared around the ground.
This was done without using any energy, solely with the physical body!
In contrast, Fuma Megumi was much calmer. She suppressed her excitement as she felt the power within her body and looked at the two of them with a serious expression.
Who are you?!
Yu Rui's gaze was deep as she slowly spoke.
"Creative Education".
