The Second Volume Chapter 5 (Part 1) Using an Ox Knife to Kill a Chicken

  Jū Dān Mèi's eyes sparkled: "Zhèn Sān Láng, do you want to leave? Can't you stay with me for a little while longer?" Her fingers trembled, and dozens of bright red lights shot out.

  "I don't want to let my little brother wear a green hat." Sanlang burst out laughing, his long sleeves fluttering as he sprayed out a swirling white mist that enveloped Jū Dānmèi's scorpion needle. And yet, his own person had miraculously vanished.

  "She escaped quickly." Ju Danmei was slightly startled, and the white mist spat out a few thorns, floating gently towards the distance. Gan Ning let out a low hum, flew up, and pointed his sword scabbard at the white mist.

  "Haha, still Gān Xiānzǐ is formidable, seeing through my true form, unfortunately it's too late." Suddenly, the voice of Zhèn Sān Láng echoed from within the white fog. The white fog flashed continuously for a few times, swift as a ghost, rapidly fleeing far away. Gān Níngzhēn chased after but couldn't catch up, and could only give up.

  I shook my head: "This Sanlang guy is really hard to figure out."

  As we saw Jin Sanlang leave, Xiaoyu smiled all over her face and turned to me saying: "I want to thank you. Do you know that our mermaid ancestors owed a favor to the owner of the Mirage Tower, so they all vowed to become his slaves. The owner of the Mirage Tower promised that as long as someone braved the cave and lit the oil lamp, he would lift the vow and not make us slaves anymore."

  The big fish also had beautiful eyes with a smile, bowed to me and said softly: "Thank you, young master. If it weren't for your wisdom and bravery, our mermaid tribe would still be slaves. From now on, if you need us mermaids anywhere, just come find us in the icy sea of Mo Xian Tian."

  I said with a straight face, "Don't be fooled by that scoundrel from the Mirage Tower again." At this time, many merfolk floated out of the forest, crying and throwing away the lanterns in their hands, all kneeling down to me. I felt embarrassed, hurriedly waving my hand: "Get up quickly, I'm not used to this. Actually, I didn't do anything."

  The mermaids bowed again and again, and finally surrounded the big fish and small fish to leave. I glanced at the three beauties and shamelessly said: "This time, I helped everyone escape, give me some reward."

  Hai Ji smiled: "What do you want?"

  I gazed at her plump cherry lips with a sly smile: "Give me a kiss."

  Hai Ji's face turned red: "You!"

  I took advantage of the situation and grabbed Haixi's hand, she pouted and said: "Let go quickly! I'm not a small fish, don't be so presumptuous!" Trying to struggle free from my grasp.

  "Many years ago, a wise and powerful demon caught hold of the jade palm of a beautiful female warrior goddess and wouldn't let go. The female warrior goddess asked him to release her, but the demon said, 'You say one word, if I'm satisfied with what you say, I'll let you go.' Do you know what the female warrior goddess said?"

  Haiji's curiosity was piqued by me, and for a moment she forgot to withdraw her hand. Her beautiful eyes blinked: "What did you say?"

  "Guess." I deliberately delayed, teasing her and taking the opportunity to pinch her snow-white palm. Haiji's hand was soft and slippery, like silk, it felt so comfortable to touch. What is meant by "loving someone till one's hands can't let go", now I understand.

  Hai Ji thought for half a day and still couldn't guess it, so she shouted: "Quickly say! What character is it?"

  I sneered and said: "She said a 'fart' word."

  Hai Ji was taken aback: "What? What does this mean?"

  The monster also asked the female warrior god, and the female warrior god replied, "Fart", whether to release or not is up to you.

  Haiji was stunned, laughing so hard that her flowers were shaking, and Judanmei also burst out laughing. I took the opportunity to quietly let out the fart I had been holding in for half a day. Originally, farting is a natural thing, but doing it in front of three beauties is really not elegant, so I had to use an excuse to grab Haiji's hand and tell a joke to divert their attention. Alas, being with beauties may be enjoyable, but there are also inconvenient times.

  "Not right." Gan Ningzhen suddenly said, I was startled, thinking she smelled my fart, and hastily pretended to be calm: "It's a bit not right, I seem to have smelled something unusual."

  Gan Ning's eyebrows slightly furrowed: "Why has Shui Liu Lang still not appeared and taken action until now?"

  "Because he still has some self-awareness, Jiro already lost, even if we add him, it's not our opponent. So escaping early is not a bad choice."

  I shook my head and said vigilantly, "No way, Water Six will not give up easily. I think he's plotting something, we need to be careful not to fall into his trap."

  "What Xiao Se Lang said makes sense." Ju Dan Mei nodded, at this time, the island we were on was shrinking bit by bit, after a while, only a square inch of land was left.

  "Let's hurry and leave this island, it is also an illusion created by Sanzang's magic."

  I had just jumped onto the golden snail, and the last patch of mud on the island had also disappeared. Gazing out at the vast emptiness of the sea in all directions, I couldn't help but think of the strange experiences of this night, and a feeling of the transience of life arose within me.

  "Tanba Tsurayuki said, 'Tsuchi Hachirō, Mizu Rokurō, Shiba Saburō, the pursuers under the Demon Lord's command are getting stronger and stronger. If these monsters join forces, we'll probably have a hard time dealing with them.'"

  "Needn't worry about this for the time being, the demons of Mo Jie Tian have always been lone wolves, unruly and unyielding, no one is willing to submit to anyone. Although the Demon Lord has emerged now, it's not something that can be done in a short period of time to make these scattered sands gather immediately. However, we should plan our next route carefully."

  Seeing the beautiful women's gaze cast over, I hastily said: "I don't have any opinion, wherever you want to go, I'll accompany you to the end."

  Ji Dan Mei said, "The Great Thousand City is probably not a convenient place to go. The place is full of fish and dragons mixed together, once the news of the three strange treasures spreads out, we will immediately become the target of public criticism. Moreover, Mo Zhu's subordinates may have set up an ambush in the Great Thousand City, waiting for us to fall into their trap."

  "Why don't we just go find the Heaven of Freedom together and live forever?"

  Ji Dan Mei shook her head: "That map of Zi Zai Tian is incomplete and the places marked on it I haven't seen any. If one could find Zi Zai Tian just relying on this map, someone would have gone there long ago."

  Hai Ji also said: "Whether the map is true or false, we still don't know. I have traveled to many places in the north border, but those scenes on the map are really not seen before."

  "I said with a scowl: 'Isn't this map becoming just like Ji Danmei?'"

  Ji Danmei was taken aback: "What does it mean?"

  "It's not as good as it looks." I burst out laughing, and my gaze fell upon several dozen silver fish swimming over from afar, surrounding the Golden Shell and darting back and forth in excitement.

  My fingers were itching with excitement, I was frightened and worried all night, my stomach had been growling for a long time, I rolled up my pant legs, and I was about to go into the sea to catch fish.

  "Where did so many fish come from?" Hai Ji suddenly said anxiously.

  As far as the eye can see, dense schools of fish are surging in from all directions. Under the dazzling dawn light, groups of fish with colorful scales are swimming around us like they're enchanted. Before long, there's no seawater to be seen nearby, only shimmering scales and countless fish packed tightly together, like a green carpet without a single gap.

  Ji Dan's face changed, she stretched out her hand and slapped it, dozens of fish were immediately smashed by her, blood threads drifting away with the seawater. But the school of fish was not panicked at all, still rushing over without knowing life or death.

  I also knew something was off, but these schools of fish were just swimming around us stupidly, they didn't attack us. If it's Water Six Rō who are behind this, then what's their goal?

  Ji Danmei wiped her wet palm and said, "The seawater is warm."

  Gan Ning nodded: "It's possible that the warm current attracted the fish. But there shouldn't be any warm currents in this area, so it must have been Water Six who used his magic to heat up the seawater and attract the fish while we were trapped in the mural."

  "Light is a warm current, it doesn't attract that many schools of fish." Ji Danmei lowered her head, sniffed the palm of her hand and said: "There's also a strange fragrance in the seawater, luring the schools of fish to linger here without leaving."

  The princess's face showed a puzzled expression: "Is Water Sixteen expecting to use these fish to deal with us?"

  Ji Dan's expression changed: "The school of fish is nothing to worry about, but it will attract many predatory sea creatures."

  "We'd better leave this sea area as soon as possible."

  Haiji immediately urged the Golden Spiral to speed up, breaking through the encirclement of the fish group and rushing outwards. I curiously asked: "You are all people who know magic, can't you fly?"

  "Haiji smiled and said, 'Do you think we are gods? Flying in the midst of Jiaoyu technique is called Yufeng technique, and in the secret path technique, it's also known as Yudao technique. It's an extremely profound skill. In the Northern Territory, except for some demons born with wings, there aren't many humans who can fly.'"

  Ji Dan Mei said: "Your previous life's dragon butterfly had a pair of wings, it can actually fly."

  I sighed and looked up at the blue sky, when can I recover my former life's magical powers?

  "Little scamp, be careful!" Hai Ji suddenly shouted, and right in front of them, several hundred black lines tore open the sea surface, rushing over quickly.

  Those were several hundred huge sea creatures, like toads, with lumps on their backs, round and as big as my head. These toads lowered their heads, their sturdy limbs stroking strongly, and on their heads stood black horns, the seawater automatically dividing into two when it encountered the horns.

  "Be careful of the sea toads! Watch out for their warts, they can spray toxic liquid that will blind you if it gets in your eyes."

  A giant moray eel approached, its huge mouth open, a bright red tongue rolled out, constantly swallowing schools of fish. Several morays discovered us and swam over quickly, three beauties immediately dispersed to my sides, forming a triangle, waiting in array.

  A flash of golden light, and Haiji's palm chopped down, splitting a rapidly approaching toadfish in two. Blood splashed out, immediately attracting more toadfish, which bit into the corpse in a frenzy, devouring it in an instant, leaving only a skeleton on the surface of the sea. Hundreds of toadfish charged towards us with menacing energy, letting out loud "waah" cries, but before they could get close, the boils on their backs suddenly erupted, spewing out thousands of yellowish pus-like liquid, like a dense downpour of rain.

  Gan Ning let out a loud shout, pointed with his finger, and a snow lotus burst forth from the tip of his finger. It grew rapidly in the wind, resembling a giant white umbrella that spun quickly to block the poisonous liquid. Hai Nu flew up and charged towards the sea slugs, her eyes flashing wildly as she chopped out hundreds of palm knives. Dazzling golden light flashed repeatedly, flesh and blood splashing everywhere. In just a short moment, several hundred sea slugs lay belly-up, their corpses floating on the surface of the sea, the stench of fresh blood dyeing the surrounding seawater red.

  Haiji fell back onto Jinluo's back, panting slightly. With one breath, she had killed several hundred sea creatures, and even she felt a bit strained.

  With a loud "boom", about 100 meters to the left front, a huge wave suddenly surged up, white foam splashing everywhere, and a round, dark green head poked out.

  I took a deep breath, and just this head alone was bigger than the whole toad, like a giant mountain. The head was oily and shiny, with a circle of milky white light balls embedded in it, as if they were eyes, flashing on and off, very frightening.

  "Whoosh", a pair of eyes suddenly split open, revealing rows of sharp teeth inside, swallowing a school of fish, and then the eyes closed again. The dark green head rose and fell, stirring up a row of huge waves, and the golden screw shook violently. Through the water, I saw the terrifying giant body under the sea surface. The school of fish had indeed brought all the sea beasts over!

  It swallowed nearly a thousand fish in one breath, and its dark green head moved closer to us again. Its eyes opened once more, and the white gaps between its teeth still had remnants of fish meat stuck in them.

  Hai Ji let out a loud hum, her cherry lips pursed and aimed at the golden spiral's mouth. She blew a breath of air, and the spiral's mouth spat out a golden thread that wove into a network of meridians, shining brightly as it shot towards the dark green head like lightning. As Hai Ji gestured, the network suddenly contracted, violently constricting the dark green head, cutting through the skin like a sharp blade, deeply embedding itself inside, and a pale green liquid seeped out.

  A thunderous roar issued from its mouth, the dark green head struggled desperately, dozens of python-like tentacles stretched out from under the sea surface, nearly a hundred meters long, frantically slapping the water, stirring up massive waves.

  "Bang", the meridians flashed out a dazzling golden light, and the dark green head was cut into hundreds of pieces in an instant, with flesh flying everywhere. Under the sea surface, the huge body sank rapidly downwards.

  I had just let out a sigh of relief when the waves surged and several tiger sharks appeared from afar, diving into the sea with a loud splash, grabbing the carcass of the sea beast that had just sunk, and tearing it apart with abandon. The surrounding waters were stained crimson, and the stench of blood filled the air, pungent enough to be smelled from far away. Soon after, another large group of sea beasts arrived.

  The sea creatures are getting more and more, but the fish are gradually decreasing. We have also become the target of attack by the sea creatures. The three beauties fought fiercely with the sea creatures, and the entire sea surface was constantly floating out the corpses of the sea creatures, which were swallowed up by new sea creatures, leaving only a few white skeletons, swaying with the waves.

  The sun gradually sets, the twilight overflows, and the deep red seawater begins to turn black. After killing for a whole day, the sea beasts are not decreasing but increasing. Haiyi, Judanmei, and Gan Ningzhen can only take turns making moves. I secretly think it's not good, if we continue killing like this, there will be no end to it. Even if the three beauties are powerful, they will still be exhausted to death. When the time comes, if Shui Liu Lang and his gang appear again, it will be terrible.

  In the distance, several enormous sea creatures came rushing over, like moving islands. Their necks were thick and long, and when they twisted, their thick folds opened layer by layer. The broad tail fins crashed onto the surface of the water with a deafening roar, as if thunder had exploded, causing the seawater to sink deeply before surging up violently, creating a wall of water hundreds of feet high that was awe-inspiringly terrifying.
