Those people outside had no shadows, and Shushu and the others noticed them immediately, but no one made a sound. They just quietly watched the ghosts outside move.
Yes, those people outside are indeed members of the Ghost Clan, or rather, Ghosts of the Ghost Clan.
Although they already knew that the Ghost Clan could come to the Wuhua Secret Realm, this was the first time that neither Shushushu Yibao nor Tianchen Baiyue had ever seen the Ghost Clan.
Therefore, the four furry creatures were extremely curious about the ghosts outside, their eyes wide open, staring intently at them.
It's fortunate they were inside the isolation array; otherwise, they would have been discovered long ago with such a strong gaze.
Even so, one of the ghosts still keenly sensed something was amiss.
He surveyed the entire reef area with his divine sense and, finding nothing unusual, quickened his pace while also urging the other ghosts beside him.
"Hurry up, there are still several reef groups we haven't visited yet. We must check them all before dawn."
This ghost must have been the leader; after he finished shouting, the other ghosts visibly sped up considerably.
The originally slow movements became clean and efficient.
Before long, one of the tall, thin men found Shushu and the others.
Because of the isolation array, he naturally didn't discover anything. He poked around here and there and quickly passed the cave where Shushu and the others were.
Just as he passed by, Shushu and the others clearly saw that a rock in front of the cave, where he had just poked, moved slightly.
In a daze, it seemed as if a hairy claw appeared there, but it quickly retracted and turned into a stone.
Shushu was startled and immediately began to desperately recall when the stone had been there.
By the time she figured it out, the stone was already there before she came up, and Shushu was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat.
His gaze was fixed on the rock, trying to see if it was a person, a ghost, a beast, or a plant.
Unfortunately, even after looking at it for a long time, the potato still couldn't figure out what it was.
Left with no other option, Shushu had to turn to Shuchi and Qile for help.
The two souls did not disappoint Shushu, and soon told Shushu that it was a Xuan Yin Stone.
The Xuan Yin Stone is equivalent to the Soul-Trapping Stone of the human race. It is extremely good at disguise and blends into the environment. It is only useful to the ghost race and can protect the consciousness of a seriously injured ghost from destruction and prevent the ghost body from dissipating.
It possesses the talent to mimic the creatures it has recently encountered, but it lacks the conditions for developing intelligence.
In other words, the reason it conjured a hairy claw was because it had seen the millet earlier.
The reason why the millet hadn't discovered it before was simply because the other party was very good at disguising itself.
Not only her, but even those ghost clans who were so eager to find the Xuan Yin Stone hadn't discovered it.
Knowing that he wasn't the only one who had been scammed, Shushu felt much less upset.
After watching the ghosts leave cursing and showing no sign of turning back, Shushu carefully opened the isolation array, went out, and put away the Xuan Yin Stone, placing it separately.
After all that commotion, Shushu was completely wide awake.
After returning to the cave, they didn't rest. They tidied up and then chose a direction opposite to that of the ghost clan, leaving the reef area.
To avoid being discovered by the ghosts, Shushu swam underwater for a long time before releasing the spirit boat, transforming into Lu Chu's appearance, and continuing on her way.
It's unclear whether Lu Chu was just born unlucky, but not long after Shushu transformed into his appearance, he encountered a pair of sea creatures who came to cause trouble.
They are a sea eagle in the early stage of astral projection and a Zhu Lie whale in the late stage of astral projection.
No one knew where they came from. By the time the millet spotted them, they were already right in front of it, flanking it from both ends.
The sea eagle was clearly more impatient. It launched an attack as soon as it came up, opening its blood-red maw as if it wanted to swallow the ship and the millet together.
Unfortunately, the ship was too big; even with its mouth wide open, it couldn't swallow it whole.
Moreover, the yam wasn't one to sit idly by and wait for its fate. Seeing that it had opened its mouth wide, it took the opportunity to throw a lot of things into it.
There are a series of talismans such as Thunderstorm Talisman, as well as a variety of spiritual plants and fruits with different functions such as Stinky Fruit and Spicy Grass, and pills such as Laughing Pill and Lavender Pill.
Upon seeing these things, the ferocious sea eagle's face turned green instantly, its entire body twisted into a pretzel, and its vision and consciousness short-circuited for a moment.
Not noticing that Shushu had already swiftly pushed the spirit boat away, they thought she was still in the same spot, opening her mouth to bite something in that direction, and then began various death rolls.
Unbeknownst to it, its opponent had already retrieved the spirit boat and escaped in a flying boat.
And the creature it bit was none other than its teammate, the Zhu Lie Whale, who had come with it.
When a civet whale is bitten, it actually struggles violently and resists.
However, Hai'e's five senses were temporarily rendered useless by the impact, and it was blinded by rage, completely unaware that it had bitten the wrong target. It was only focused on killing the other party.
Several breaths passed before the sensation returned, and it realized something was wrong and quickly stopped.
Then it realized that what it had bitten was not the spirit boat, but the juvenile whale.
Meanwhile, the Zhu Lie Whale, already half-dead from its series of miraculous actions, was on the verge of death. When it met the Zhu Lie Whale's gaze, it felt both fear and rage.
As for the millet and potatoes that it really wanted to deal with, they had already turned into tiny dots.
Even if it wanted to chase, it might not be able to catch up.
After all, the millet and potatoes at this point are no longer on the sea, but have gone up to the sky.
Most importantly, there was a red snapping whale next to it, which was now watching it intently.
Hai'e dares to guarantee that if it dares to abandon its opponent today, tomorrow all the Zhu Lie whales in the entire sea area will issue a kill order to hunt it down.
After weighing all the options, Hai'e ultimately had no choice but to give up chasing Shushu, carry the Zhulie Whale, and return the whale to the human settlement.
Unbeknownst to Shushu, the sea eagle and the Zhulie whale behind him had stopped chasing and were still desperately trying to propel the airship forward.
This run lasted for most of the day, until Shushu finally saw land in the distance and breathed a sigh of relief.
As they carefully maneuvered the airship to shore, before Shushu could even catch his breath, they heard the sounds of fierce fighting coming from the mountains ahead, accompanied by constant earthquakes.
Shushu felt a chill run down his spine and was about to dodge when he heard one of them shout, so he stopped in his tracks.
