Chapter 289: Departure and Return



Feng Ce came over and asked, "Do you want to have another fishing competition?"

Wen Qi looked over in confusion.

Feng Ce: "Use soul power as bait, and see who can fish out the water monster first."

Wen Qi understood instantly that she and Feng Ce had too strong control over their soul power. When they knew that the mist would offset their soul power, they completely restrained their soul power. The water monster could not sense the existence of soul power, so it naturally thought that there was no prey above, and would not appear again.

Now all they have to do is release their soul power, lure the water monster out, and then kill it in one fell swoop.

"Is there any reward for the winner?" Wen Qi asked, "It can't be for nothing."

Feng Ce thought for a moment and said, "The loser must agree to one condition with the winner."

Wen Qi agreed readily, "No problem!" Before he finished speaking, golden soul power surged out and turned into a giant golden carp, which jumped into the sea and disappeared.

Feng Ce was not much slower. His dark soul power condensed into a whale and fell into the sea with a "splash".

Wen Qi glared at him when he saw this, "You are cheating! The whale is too big!" With such a large target, considering the nature of water monsters that fuse souls to strengthen themselves, the whale would definitely be the first choice!

Feng Ce chuckled, "Who rushed ahead without waiting for the rules to be explained?"

Wen Qi was in the wrong and could only shut up in frustration.

Sure enough, not long after, the calm sea surface began to wave. The first to appear was Feng Ce's whale, followed by a huge mass of things behind the whale. A large mass of things mixed in the water, it was not very clear to see, but I knew that the yin energy was so heavy that even the temperature of the sea surface became lower.

Wen Qi curled her lips. It was true that big ones had the advantage. Her golden carp seemed to disappear as soon as it entered the sea. It had no appeal at all.

She said unconvincedly: "You win, tell me your conditions."

Feng Ce: "This is a rare opportunity. I need to think about it carefully."

Wen Qi gritted his teeth secretly and reminded: "You'd better not go too far, there are still many days to come."

Feng Ce smiled, "Don't worry, it's definitely something you can do."

Wen Qi's eyelids twitched, and he felt that it was not that simple.

As they were talking, the whale had already led the mass to the surface of the sea, and Wen Qi finally saw its true appearance - a giant octopus made up of many souls.

The octopus is covered with dull human faces, men, women, young and old, and each person's expression is frozen in the most painful moment.

Wen Qi was a little shocked, "How can so many souls coexist when squeezed together?" Wouldn't there be an explosion if the soul forces collided with each other?

Feng Ce said: "As long as there is a soul with overwhelming strength that can suppress the turbulence of all soul power, the water monster can continue to exist stably."

Wen Qi certainly understood this principle, "But hasn't it been absorbing souls all the time? Sooner or later it will explode on the spot because it can't hold it back anymore. Now it has enough souls fused together." After a pause, she said, "This main soul is definitely not an ordinary person."

Feng Ce nodded in agreement, "Maybe it's an ancient soul awakened from its slumber."

In just a few words, the whale was entangled by the giant octopus, which was trying to merge the whale into its own body, but it was obviously not easy to do.

Wen Qi: "Let me help you." A few seconds later, the golden carp broke out of the water, leaped into the sky, turned into a golden flying dragon, waving its sharp claws and rushing towards the giant octopus.

"The carp leaps over the dragon gate." Feng Ce sighed, "Your control over soul power is no less than mine." Dragons are creatures that cannot be transformed just by saying so, even if it is just a simulation. Wen Qi, the dragon, already has all the momentum that a dragon should have, and is already very similar.

Wen Qi raised her chin proudly. Influenced by her, the golden dragon attacked even more frantically.

The giant octopus had to devote most of its energy to resisting the golden dragon's attack, but just as it relaxed, the whale that was about to be dragged over began to fight back again.

Although the giant octopus has many tentacles, it still feels like it is overwhelmed and overwhelmed. Under this sense of urgency, it becomes increasingly anxious and starts to panic.

What Wen Qi and Feng Ce were waiting for was the moment when it panicked.

The golden dragon and the whale attacked at the same time.

A golden dragon fell from the sky, and a golden soul ball was compressed between its two dragon horns, shooting towards the octopus like a laser.

The octopus swung its tentacles and struggled to resist, but was still forced to retreat again and again by the powerful attack. The tentacles that had merged with the ghost face were full of water arrows, and the places that were swept by the golden soul power were directly charred and smoking.

For a moment, visibility on the sea became even lower.

Wen Qi narrowed her eyes and looked at the octopus carefully. After a few seconds, she took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Found it!" At the same time, she threw out the secret book of metaphysics, and Taotie rushed out directly, opened its mouth and bit the milky white soul in the middle of the octopus.

A sharp and shrill cry sounded, and Wen Qi covered her ears. The momentary pain made her face distorted. Then the souls mixed together in the octopus separated from the main body, either directly entering the underworld or following their instincts to find their own bodies.

Soon, the only thing left on the sea was a two-meter-long milky white soul that looked like a dolphin.

Wen Qi rubbed his ears and looked at the dolphin with a look of doubt in his eyes. Generally, the souls of animals and plants rarely become evil spirits, because they are very simple when they are alive, and naturally they will not have any obsessions after death.

Feng Ce frowned and said, "It is somewhat different from the dolphins of today. It is a soul awakened from ancient times." He carefully observed the mottled scars on the soul, "It looks like it was tortured and killed."

Wen Qi understood. It was probably because they were tortured and killed that the human souls were mixed into their own bodies. They let the human souls become armor to protect themselves. It was also a form of revenge.

It was originally quite pitiful, but after killing so many people, it is really not pitiful anymore.

Wen Qi waved to Taotie, who immediately swallowed the dolphin's soul in one gulp. At the same time, the fog on the sea began to dissipate, and the bright moon in the sky finally showed its head.

"Today is a full moon." Wen Qi exclaimed: "The moon on the sea is so big."

Feng Ce: "If you want to enjoy the moon, you can go to the terrace of the cruise ship, take two lounge chairs, and open a bottle of red wine..."

Wen Qi's eyes lit up, "Let's go, let's go back now!"

That being said, there was still a lot to do when we got back to the cruise ship. We had to calm the people who had woken up from coma, call the police and wait for processing, and contact the local Tianshi Association.

By the time everything was done, the sun was rising.

Wen Qi said with some regret: "The sunrise over the sea is also nice."

Before ten o'clock in the morning, the police and the Taoist priest arrived and started to understand the situation directly on the boat. The female police officer was still in charge of Wen Qi, but this time there was also a Taoist priest.

Wen Qi recounted the entire incident in detail. The female police officer listened with a frown on her face and did not interrupt. However, the Taoist priest asked many questions.

Tianshi: "How can there be mermaids?"

Wen Qi: "I don't know. This is my first time seeing it too. Oh, he gave me a pearl before he left. I heard that it can allow people to breathe freely underwater. Do you want to try it?"

The Taoist priest stared at the fist-sized pearl for a few seconds, then grabbed it and jumped into the seabed.

Wen Qi was amazed, "How reckless."

The Taoist priest didn't show up for a full minute. The female police officer became anxious. "Nothing will happen, right? Is your pearl reliable?"

Wen Qi stared at the calm sea and said uncertainly: "I haven't tried it either, but it shouldn't be that easy for the Heavenly Master to get into trouble."

The female police officer walked back and forth on the deck and could not wait any longer. Just as she was looking for someone to rescue her, there was a "crash" sound from below and the Taoist priest who had disappeared for two full minutes appeared.

"It works! Holding the pearl will allow you to breathe underwater!" The Taoist priest was excited. "I didn't expect there really are mermaids in the sea!"

Wen Qi smiled and said, "Come up quickly. Although the temperature is okay during the day, you will catch a cold if you soak in the water for too long."

After the Heavenly Master came up, he used his soul power to evaporate the sea water and returned the pearl to Wen Qi with reluctance on his face.

Wen Qi took it and put the pearl into the Metaphysics Secret Book in front of him, then asked with a smile: "Any other questions?"

The Heavenly Master retracted his gaze, coughed lightly, and asked, "About that giant fusion soul..."

By the time we finished the questioning and investigated the crime scene, it was already past noon.

The cruise ship and the fishing boat were finally able to return.
