How did you get here?
Blocking the way for Shushu and his friends was a colossal dragon, its body dark green and enormous. Even two or three Shushu in human form might not be able to encircle it.
It then blocked the way of Shushu and the other two, its vertical pupils staring intently at them, exuding a powerful aura that made Shushu and Xuanjing tremble in fear.
Xuan Jing, who was originally in the lead position, moved with unprecedented speed, darting behind Lu Li in a flash, showing remarkable ease.
Upon seeing this, Shu Jiao's vertical pupils gleamed even colder, and his voice grew even colder as he repeated, "How did you end up here?" His tone was clearly tinged with impatience.
To avoid any unforeseen consequences from dragging things out any longer, Lu Li quickly stepped forward and swam half a step forward: "Senior, we...we just came out for a bit of fun, what...what's wrong?"
These cautious, slightly stuttering words perfectly conveyed the fear of a low-level sea beast encountering a high-level sea beast.
If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, Shushu, who was standing next to him, would have liked to clap and cheer. She never expected that her gentle and refined senior brother would have such a side to him.
Shushu sighed inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged. He even played along, saying, "Sir... my brother and I were just out having fun. We didn't... we didn't do anything wrong."
After saying that, the fish pretended to be nervous, and its two small wings under its ribs were nervously waving around.
Upon hearing this, the cold light in Shu Jiao's vertical pupils dimmed slightly, and he once again fixed his gaze on the three creatures.
After confirming that these were indeed three baby mullet, and knowing that this area was originally their territory, it wasn't surprising that some playful offspring had wandered over.
So, having thought it through, Shu Jiao stopped looking at them like prisoners, but still warned, "This is not a place where you can cause trouble. Leave now."
After issuing the warning, it didn't wait for the three minnows to make a move and swam away to continue patrolling the sea.
The three little potatoes left behind watched each other's figures disappear in an instant, exchanged glances, and without saying a word, they tacitly chose another direction and sped away.
The dragon, which had already swum far away, noticed with its divine sense that the three mullet had gone far away and did not linger around. Only then did it completely dispel its suspicions about them and withdraw its divine sense.
Meanwhile, the three little ones swam a long distance away and couldn't feel anyone watching them from behind. They breathed a sigh of relief and then chose a coral reef, burying their heads in it together.
Once inside, the three immediately set up a barrier. After thinking it over, they realized it wasn't safe and threw out several isolation formations. Only then did Lu Li take out a simple map.
This map was also given to them by Pei Anlan. It's said that it was given to them by his sea beast allies. It circles several places where they often stay. If you want to find the beasts, you have to go to these places.
Cultivators are sharp-witted and perceptive; even though they had just fled at breakneck speed, they still remembered the general surroundings.
By comparing their observations with the map, they quickly discovered that if they continued forward in the direction they were heading, there would be a marker point.
Clearly, they were lucky; even though they randomly chose a direction, it was the right one, and all three of them were very happy.
Just as they were about to tear down the barrier and formation to leave, they heard a rustling sound from the side, as if some sea beast had crawled into the artificial hill next to them.
These coral reefs are mostly located in remote corners and crevices, and most marine mammals prefer this environment and like to establish their nests in these places.
The three of them were initially not paying much attention and were about to leave quietly, but they overheard a conversation nearby. Instantly, they all stopped in their tracks and looked at each other in bewilderment.
A voice came from the side and said, "Crab Five, are you sure Tun Ning really colluded with human cultivators?"
Tun Ning is one of the sea beasts that Shushu and the others came out to contact. It is a Phantom Ancient Tun. Judging from the voice, it seems that Tun Ning has been exposed and is being targeted by other sea beasts.
Thinking of this, all three abandoned their plans to leave and unconsciously leaned closer to listen.
They didn't have to wait long; almost the instant they approached, the one called Crab Five made a solemn promise.
"Of course, I've been watching it for a long time to confirm it, there's absolutely no mistake."
"Did you report to the captain?"
"No?"
Why?
“This isn’t the same misunderstanding as before. The captain has strictly forbidden making accusations without evidence. I’m thinking of getting solid evidence first before handing it over to the captain.”
Immediately afterward, Crab Five paused for a moment before continuing with a hint of ingratiation and embarrassment.
"You know that Tun Ning is stronger than me. I can't beat it. That's why I was thinking of taking it down with you, and then we can share the credit. What do you think?"
At this point, the sounds from next door ceased, seemingly indicating that another sea creature was making its decision. Shushu Luli remained unhurried and continued to wait patiently, holding its breath.
Sure enough, not long after, the owner of the voice finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and replied firmly: "Okay, I'll do it! Let's make it clear first, the credit will be split 50/50."
"become."
Then, the two beasts began to conspire together, plotting how to catch Tun Ning in the act.
Listening to the incessant muttering beside them, Lu Li, Shushu, and Xuanjing exchanged a glance. Shushu suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Senior Brother, how about we catch those two next door?"
She heard it, and the one who discovered the clue was called Crab Five. Beasts like to use one of the characters from their own bodies as their names. Among sea beasts, those with the surname Crab are basically from the Emperor Crab clan.
And this crab looks like it belongs to an opposing force. Catching it and cooking it seems like a good choice. There's no way around it; she hasn't eaten crab in so long, and just thinking about it makes her crave it.
Thinking of the delicious king crab she had once eaten, Shushu felt tears welling up in her eyes.
However, she still had some sense of reason and added in a low voice, "Let's see their cultivation level first. If we can capture them, we will; if not, we'll just have to let them go."
Lu Li had the same idea. Hearing her words, he didn't speak, but nodded in agreement. Just as he was about to act, Xuan Jing beat him to it, saying, "I'll do it."
The next moment, no one knew how Xuanjing operated, but a water curtain appeared in front of them, reflecting the situation of the cave next to them.
