Kaka ka…
The mecha rotated.
Chu Tian emerged from the mecha.
Qiu Shaotian was surprised. Chu Tian had been very assertive before.
Why had he suddenly changed his tune here?
However, just as this thought flashed through his mind.
Pa pa pa…
Three loud slaps echoed.
"Ah?" In a mere instant.
Qiu Shaotian's vision blurred. Of the four creatures wielding tridents, only one remained.
And this one was being held by the neck and lifted by Chu Tian.
The other three, after who knew how many somersaults, had already flown out of the waterproof shield.
"You said you'd let in as many as you wanted? Who do you think you are? Did you ask me, Third Master Chu?"
Chu Tian held the creature by its neck, a look of amusement on his face.
The latter was a mixture of fear and surprise.
Looking at Chu Tian, it bared its teeth.
Revealing a mouth full of fine, sharp teeth.
"Still baring your teeth at me…" Chu Tian's expression faltered slightly.
He backhanded the creature, a slap landing squarely on its face.
Pa…
The Naga, held in his hand, immediately turned its head to the side.
Pa…
Then Chu Tian's hand returned.
Symmetrical on both sides.
Huala…
The creature's entire set of fine teeth.
Dropped out of its mouth in one piece.
"Is this thing mute?"
Chu Tian frowned slightly upon seeing this.
He turned to ask Qiu Shaotian.
Qiu Shaotian was stunned, making no move.
Everything had happened too quickly; he hadn't had time to intervene.
Even if he had wanted to.
He wouldn't have been able to stop it.
He had thought that at the very least, any conflict would occur after they went down.
He knew the temperaments of these guys.
He also understood Chu Tian's temper well.
However, he had planned to negotiate with them after going down.
To make them shed their arrogance and treat Chu Tian with subtle persuasion.
Unexpectedly, Chu Tian had already made his move upon arrival.
He glanced back again. Wei Du, Xiao Long Nü, and Chu Xinghe had also entered the waterproof shield.
Each of them was carrying one…
Precisely the strange creatures that Chu Tian had slapped away.
Those three were limp, and it was unclear if they were dead or unconscious.
Chu Xinghe licked his lips while looking at the thing in his hand.
This action reminded Qiu Shaotian of how.
He had eaten those giant serpent dragons like snacks.
He was numb and didn't know what to do!
Was bringing Chu Tian and the others down… a correct choice?
It felt like these four esteemed guests.
Were planning to cause a scene…
Previously, when Luo Yiyi had an accident, although they had saved her.
But taking Luo Yiyi away, in the end, carried a hint of coercion.
Or perhaps leveraging their favor for gain…
Back when he had told him at that time.
This man in front of him probably hadn't considered negotiating with them properly at all.
Although he hadn't done anything to him, treating him as a friend.
Or perhaps he was just an unknown nobody, not worth his attention?
"Hey, hey, hey… What are you spacing out for?"
Chu Tian patted Qiu Shaotian's shoulder.
"Uh… They are just battle soldiers, underdeveloped, with no brains. It's better not to trouble them!"
Qiu Shaotian snapped back to attention and quickly explained.
"Ah?" Hearing his explanation, Chu Tian was also taken aback.
So… the things he had just done didn't elicit any reaction from the other party?
"So they're just fodder! Can I eat them?"
Chu Xinghe suddenly spoke. Qiu Shaotian saw him swallowing constantly.
He seemed to be losing his patience…
"No, no, no… It will provoke their anger!" Qiu Shaotian's face changed dramatically, and he quickly stopped him.
If he said it any later, this esteemed guest might actually take a bite.
"Uh… Alright, I'll endure it a bit longer!"
Chu Xinghe tossed the creature in his hand onto the turtle's back.
"Can you control this turtle to take us to that place?"
Chu Tian spoke again, asking Qiu Shaotian.
Qiu Shaotian slowly shook his head.
"I can…" It was Xiao Long Nü who spoke.
Next, Xiao Long Nü spoke softly.
Aowu…
A faint dragon's roar.
The giant turtle beneath their feet instantly trembled.
Everyone felt it begin to move slowly.
Then it turned its direction.
And flew directly towards the deep underwater trench.
This turtle's speed was incredibly fast.
In Chu Tian's memory, turtles were always slow and leisurely.
No one could have imagined that this creature could move underwater at the speed of a high-speed train.
The surrounding water currents and cliffs sped past them.
More than ten minutes later, the originally dark seabed.
Suddenly, a trace of light emerged from below.
This scene surprised Chu Tian greatly.
He looked down. A blue light.
Illuminated the depths of the entire sea trench.
And what emitted the light were actually huge fish bones.
Boundless fish bones, intertwined.
They had actually formed a colossal underwater city.
"Are these… whale skeletons?" Chu Tian identified them and exclaimed in surprise!
"The City of Whale Fall… We've arrived!" Qiu Shaotian nodded. It wasn't the first time he had seen such a magnificent sight.
But every time he saw it, he was incredibly shocked, even captivated by the mesmerizing colors.
Upon hearing the words "City of Whale Fall."
Chu Tian was also deeply moved.
To be born like a roc taking flight, to fall like a whale.
One whale's presence astonishes the heavens.
One whale's cry silences the vast sea.
One whale's fall gives life to all.
Born of the sea, dies in the sea, returns to the sea, nourishing the sea!
A whale, in its lifetime, swims ceaselessly.
It lands only once, and that is when it dies.
Sorrow descends, yet prosperity blooms within.
…
Gradually approaching the City of Whale Fall before them.
Countless marine creatures swam around.
Most of them were unfamiliar to Chu Tian.
The whale skeletons emitting blue halos.
Supported a vast shield.
Through the shield, Chu Tian saw that there was no seawater inside.
This was the place protected by the death of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, millions of whales!
Seeing this, Chu Tian slowly suppressed the thoughts in his heart.
A place protected by so many whales through their death.
Should not be an evil place.
However, the fact that they had brought him here in this manner still made Chu Tian feel uncomfortable.
"Tell me, what kind of creatures are they?"
Upon reaching this place, Chu Tian finally calmed down.
He hadn't asked Qiu Shaotian about such matters before.
In his mind, it was: no matter what kind of creatures they were, as long as they didn't provoke him, he would directly beat them to death.
"Mm…"
Qiu Shaotian looked at Chu Tian, his eyes flashing. He noticed a change in Chu Tian's mindset.
"They are… merfolk, actually… I am too!
However, I only have a trace of merfolk bloodline. I didn't even know this about myself until they found me…"
Outside the South China Sea, there are merfolk. They live in water like fish, do not cease their weaving, and when their eyes shed tears, they produce pearls. These pearls are easily flammable and never extinguish for ten thousand years!
