Chapter 326 Division of Labor and Cooperation
Cecilia held the wine glass and swirled it gently.
He lifted his azure eyes and looked at them, his gaze sweeping over Jiang Xi's face.
"If you want my guidance, what can you offer me?"
The atmosphere instantly fell silent.
The beastmen of the Starsea Plain had been listening intently, and upon hearing this, they even held their breath.
Jiang Xi scratched her head, unable to figure out what he was missing, so she simply asked directly.
"What does Lord Haizu want?"
Instead of guessing, just ask directly.
This question stumped Cecilia.
What does he lack?
He has lived for a thousand years, rising from a tiny dragonfish in the Boundless Sea to become its master. What could he possibly lack?
He lacks... he lacks...
Memories spanning a thousand years: after he took human form, he and his uncle secretly left the Boundless Sea and headed to the Sea Kingdom to witness the legendary banquet that gathered the most beautiful females from across the continent, a banquet for the Sea Kingdom's prince to choose his consort.
A thousand years ago, the dominant force on the continent was not the Boundless Sea, but the airspace beast race of the Sea Kingdom...
Cecilia's gaze fell on Jiang Xi's fair-skinned, red-lipped face, which gradually overlapped with a face in her memory, as if she had returned to the time when he was still a young beastman who had just taken human form.
The thrill of youth can be remembered for a lifetime.
Her appearance brought back his fading memories.
The country of the sea...the country of the sea...
Cecilia closed her eyes briefly, then shook her head.
"I lack nothing."
In that brief moment, Jiang Xi sensed that he was looking at others through her.
She didn't feel offended; on the contrary, her resemblance to his old friend made things easier for her.
Just as she was about to ask again, Cecilia spoke up.
"I'll owe you for now."
Mu Ling couldn't help but say, "What if you make an impolite request later, like asking the female master to marry Haixia?"
Haixia looked at her ancestor with some expectation.
Cecilia pursed her lips.
"I will not ask her to marry Haisia."
Mu Ling quickly shouted, "Everyone heard that! Besides us, there are also orcs from the Star Sea Plains here to testify!!"
Orcs of the Starsea Plains: "..."
I'm not really keen on testifying, the other party is a Heavenly Rank Sea Ancestor!!
Cecilia: "..."
Haisia gave a forced smile.
Duan Si pursed his lips and looked at the female master, not wanting her to be in a difficult position.
"My lady, I may..."
Jiang Xi spoke, interrupting him.
"Duan Si, we don't have time."
As time goes by, everyone will naturally be able to reach the Earth Rank, but what they lack most right now is time.
If they could receive guidance from Hai Zu, avoid detours, and advance to the Earth Rank ahead of time, they would be able to avoid falling into a passive situation.
Duan Si pursed his thin lips and nodded.
"I understand. I will advance to the Earth Rank as soon as possible."
During the next few days of travel, Duan Si received guidance from Hai Zu, and later, Nafier and Lu Liufeng also joined them.
The reason is simple: there is no difference between individuals and groups.
Do you know why you can't break through?
"Because the solidification level of your supernatural abilities is still at the fourth major stage, you can solidify them over time, but that would take at least several decades. Besides time, there is another way: solidification under the pressure of external supernatural abilities... This is also why the stronger the beast race, the more powerful its members..."
Cecilia waved her hand, and dark clouds covered the sky, with torrential rain pouring down, directly pressing Duan Si, Nafi'er, and Lu Liufeng onto the muddy ground.
They were so crushed they couldn't stand up.
They were enveloped by superhuman power far exceeding their own, which crushed their physical abilities into fragments.
Compared to Duan Si and Lu Liufeng, Nafiel is better.
After all, he had reached the Earth-rank level of ability solidification, and his ability solidification was much better than that of Duan Si and Lu Liufeng.
When Cecilia saw that Duan Si wanted to use his domain, she spoke coldly.
"Forget your domain."
"Although I don't know how your domains were activated ahead of time, below the Earth Rank, a domain cannot unleash its true power."
Jiang Xi sat on Mu Ling's wolf back, watching the three of them being tortured beyond recognition by Cecilia, and her heart ached.
If she had previously held onto a sliver of hope—the hope that Nafiel and Nakan's combined Earth-rank form meant that even if she couldn't defeat Cecilia, escaping wouldn't be a problem.
But this scene made her realize that in the face of true strength, all the fancy tricks are insignificant.
Nafiel and Nakan can contend with Earth-rank opponents, but they are no match for Heaven-rank opponents, even those suppressed by the power of curses.
Yi Yuexi stood beside her, scratching the female's face with her big, fluffy tail.
"Hey, would you like to get on my back?"
As he spoke, he transformed into a nine-tailed white fox, swaying his nine large, fluffy tails as he looked at her with elegance.
Jiang Xi was naturally moved.
Compared to Yi Yuexi, Mu Ling's wolf fur was much stiffer.
But before she could speak, Mu Ling carried her on his back, took a step, and disappeared from the spot with a "whoosh".
Yi Yuexi: "..."
"Mu Ling!!"
He really should learn from Hai Zu how to confine space!
Jiang Xi saw the waves, the fish, the dock, the castle once again...
She has been able to see these images ever since the last teleportation, and they seem to become clearer as she gets closer to the cursed land.
What exactly is this place?
Has she been to this place?
There are many mysteries.
These mysteries are gradually coming to light as she and her beastmen increase their strength.
Jiang Xi believed that it wouldn't be long before she could unravel these mysteries.
Because Haizu used his own special ability to help Duan Si and the others compress and solidify their special abilities, the beastmen of the Star Sea Plain also benefited a little.
They would sneak around and sense things from time to time, and surprisingly, a few of them managed to break through the minor tiers that had been holding them back for so long.
Lu Liufeng and Nafiel were just riding on Duan Si's coattails. Mu Ling, Yi Yuexi, and Nakan, whose cultivation levels weren't high enough, would occasionally go to the outer reaches of the Star Sea Plain to try their luck and solidify their abilities.
Cecilia turned a blind eye.
If he had any complaints, he would vent them on Duan Si, Lu Liufeng, and Nafier, increasing the pressure of his supernatural power, causing the three who had finally managed to stand up to "plop" back into the mud and water, looking extremely disheveled.
Jiang Xi could only cry out in pain in her heart, not daring to speak at all, in case Cecilia got upset and refused to give her guidance.
She could only do other things within her ability, such as taking the initiative to cook.
Of course, although she was in charge, it was actually Mu Ling, Yi Yuexi and Nakan who did the work, and she guided them on the ingredients and the cooking time.
Nakan's cooking skills were decent, but Mu Ling and Yi Yuexi were absolutely terrible, often making things worse and causing Jiang Xi to get angry several times.
In the end, it was the orcs of the Starsea Plains who helped stabilize the chaotic situation.
As a result, Jiang Xi became quite familiar with the beastmen of the Star Sea Plain.
Yi Yuexi's pale face was covered in soot, and a small patch of her snow-white hair was singed by the fire. She squatted in front of the fire, gathering firewood, looking both disheveled and comical.
Mu Ling chopped meat loudly, making the ground vibrate.
Nakan, with his red hair tied back, scooped out a spoonful of stewed meat from the pot, let it cool, and handed it to the mistress.
"Mistress, please try it. Is the taste alright?"
