Chapter 56 – The Monster

Xu Qi’an beckoned, and the dead body of the female shark, which had been sinking and floating in the white foam of the blue waves, floated up and hovered in front of the two of them.

“There were no visible, clear teeth marks, and the perpetrator would have been so large that he took a direct bite ………”

Xu Qi’an examined the wound at the shark’s “waist cut” and made a judgment:

“It was an encounter with a large predator.”

The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox waited for him to finish and took over the topic in a calm tone:

“As far as I know, there are no large predators entrenched or inhabiting near this sea, so if this shark is not the Shark Queen’s personal guard, but an ordinary shark, then he may have encountered a predator that stumbled into the Shark’s sea by accident.

“As for now, there’s more than likely a problem on Sailor Island. Because the Queen’s own guards will not leave the Sailor Queen’s side.”

Xu Qi’an nodded:

“So a pro-guard meeting a predator is the same as a queen meeting a predator. And the Queen of the Sharks is a transcendent powerhouse, yet there are still pro-guards being killed ………”

The inference is self-evident – the enemy is also transcendental.

“There are so many Transcendent Powers overseas? You can run into two of them as soon as you go out to sea?” Xu Qi’an’s face was filled with astonishment.

It was understandable that a group like the Shark Island, which had been inhabited for generations, would be similar to a small power, made up of the descendants of gods and devils, with transcendent powerhouses sitting in their midst, and another example would be the Silkworm Island, where the Underworld Silkworms were inhabited.

But casually encountering transcendence is still a bit of a stretch.

The silver-haired demon girl bristled:

“The last time I went out to sea, I barely encountered any Transcendent Realm Gods and Demons along the way, except for those strong ones on the fixed habitats.”

The implication is that this is a small probability event.

It could be that the Sailor Clan had incurred some strong enemy, or it just so happened that there were descendants of gods and devils from elsewhere that had wandered into this place.

Xu Qi’an proceeded to observe the corpse and suddenly frowned, saying:

“Perhaps it is we who are in trouble!”

Nine-tailed Skyfox looked at him and gave a puzzled “hmmm”.

“The body of this shark was soaked in the water for more than ten hours, but the sharks didn’t retrieve the body of their companion, and there were no traces of the body being nibbled by the fish and shrimp in the sea.” Xu Qi’an laughed:

“What does that mean?”

The silver haired demon girl was icy smart, and with a little bit of dialing, she immediately understood.

She said with a frown:

“That powerful predator is still swimming in the nearby waters!”

So the sharks do not dare to go out of the island, the nearby sea creatures were either eaten or scared away, so this body is relatively well preserved, not by the sea fish and shrimp to eat.

The blue waves were rippling, and the boat kept moving at an even speed, undulating slightly with the waves.

For the rest of the journey, Xu Qi’an and the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox waited in silence for something.

The sun shone brightly, the sky was blue, the salty sea breeze blew up the hair and the corner of the coat, suddenly, Xu Qi’an’s ears twitched, and she heard that not far from the bottom of the sea, the dark current was suddenly raging, and there were huge monsters swimming in the water.

At the same time, the martial artist’s premonition of a crisis began to sound the alarm.

Naked killing intent and malice, undisguised ……… Xu Qi an glanced at the silver haired demon girl, the fox spirit walked to the side of the ship, and the two long legs were slender and powerful.

With a slight twist of her small waist, a furry foxtail rose up haughtily and stabbed into the sea.

The other eight tails were raised and stroked like a peacock’s open screen, ready to strike.

Xu Qi’an listened intently, her ears were filled with the sound of ‘clattering’ surges, and the dark currents under the surface of the sea were all of a sudden countless times more violent.

Wrapped up ……… he said silently in his mind.

At this time, the nine-tailed fox beside him tightly fit long legs violently tensed, knees slightly sunk, behind the eight tails in an instant taut.

The little waist twists and pulls, like an angler’s general power.

The next moment, the sea rumbles and sprays.

“Wow!”

White foam and blue waves sprayed up more than ten feet high, and in the midst of the “pouring rain”, a huge shadow jumped out of the sea, reflecting into the eyes of Xu Qi’an and the Nine-Tailed Fox.

This is a dragon, covered in black scales, with a hideous and ugly head, a row of bone spikes on its back, and a lance-like horn on its forehead.

Unlike ordinary scaly dragons, its limbs are extremely thick, with thick flippers between its claws.

The overall image looks more lizard-like.

In addition, its body was strewn with twisted, misshapen lines that would make one dizzy and make one’s chest tighten and vomit just by looking at it.

The middle stage of the Transcendent Mortal Realm, the qi and blood are thick, and the strength is very strong ……… Xu Qi an looked at it and estimated the cultivation of the other party.

It wasn’t that his vision was so poisonous, but the augur hadn’t restrained its breath and flaunted its ferocious aura to its heart’s content.

His eyes were crimson, full of violence and lacking sufficient sense.

This auger dragon’s body was entangled by the furry fox tail, and seeing that it was unable to break free from the fox’s tail, it let out a deep low roar, and even slammed headfirst into it.

“Hmph!”

The silver-haired demon girl’s colorful red lips picked, and behind her, eight tails, which were ready to be launched, scurried out like iron ropes, hooking the auger dragon’s neck, limbs, tail, and waist respectively.

“Pfft ……..”

In the creepy sound of blood and flesh separating, the auger’s body separated inch by inch, and scarlet blood spilled down.

Xu Qi’an rushed to collect the blood and water before they spilled onto the surface of the sea, condensing them in his palm.

The auger dragon that was split into segments still didn’t die, and the blood and flesh of the severed mouth wriggled as it tried to regenerate.

But it failed, the Nine-Tailed Fox knew the way to deal with the descendants of the Third Grade Gods and Demons (Wufu), and that was to slice them up, and the more scattered and broken they were, the better.

Then keep the limbs contained and keep them from converging.

In this way, although Transcendence wouldn’t die immediately due to its strong life force, the life force of the stump wasn’t enough to regenerate an entirely new body.

As it is now, each section of the dragon’s body is trying to be “reborn”, but their essence and blood are limited, and it is impossible for them to grow into a completely new individual.

“It seems to have a problem with its spirituality and is unable to communicate ……..”

The nine-tailed fox scrutinized the auger for a moment and made a judgment.

“What made a Transcendent Realm augur’s sanity go awry.”

Xu Qi’an said, flexing his fingers.

Only a ‘poof’ sound was heard as the auger skull was lifted up, and pieces of shattered bone and brain patch tissue splattered everywhere.

At the same time, an illusory augur separated from its physical body, which was its Yuan Shen.

The dragon’s Yuan Shen was intact, but its violent ferocity was not improved by the encounter with its physical body, and after circling around in the air, it swooped down towards the two men at the bow again.

I’ve completely lost my mind. ……… In that case, even the Taoist art of “asking the spirits” won’t be able to ask for any useful information. Oh, I forgot, I’m just a crude martial artist, I don’t know Taoist art… ……. Xu Qi’an opened his mouth and sucked hard.

It was like a giant mouth of the abyss, sucking the augur’s Yuan Shen into its mouth.

At the back of Xu Qi’an’s neck, the Seven Extinction Compass held up the skin, revealing a clear outline, its head slightly wriggling as if it was chewing on something.

In a moment, Xu Qi’an said:

“Put it back together.”

The Nine-tailed Sky Fox loosened its confinement and brought together segments of its body and limbs in one place, they then wriggled and succeeded each other on their own, and soon resumed as a ferocious and powerful auger dragon.

The dragon hung silently in the air, not moving a muscle.

Xu Qi An opened his mouth and spat out the dragon soul, the dragon soul did not have the ferocity of the party, but the expression was stagnant, the form became more and more illusory, and the head was no longer a hideous auger dragon head, but a triangular insect head.

Its consciousness was erased, and the Heavenly Soul of its three souls was devoured by the Seven Extinction Compass.

This was the ability of the ‘Corpse Compass’ after stepping into the Transcendent Realm, devouring part of the puppet’s soul and then fusing the remaining remnants with the sub-compassion.

In other words, the Dragon Soul at this point is the subcompulsion.

The dragon soul returned to the auger dragon’s physical body, and its eyes regained some animation, but compared to normal beings, they were still a bit dull.

Seeing this, the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox retracted its tail and allowed the auger dragon to fall into the water.

The dragon swam obediently around the ship, like a loyal guard.

“Tsk, the compulsion technique is indeed good! This has taken in a divine and demonic descendant of the Transcendent Realm.”

The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox’s words were filled with envy.

Well, although it is mosquito meat, right, but the life essence of the third product is also a big supplement for me, this trip to the sea if not hunted to the second product, or even the first product of the descendants of the gods and devils, to collect some of the third product is not bad, it is better than returning empty handed ………. Xu Qi’an was still satisfied.

It’s a little more peaceful to have something to harvest.

The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox took advantage of the opportunity to reap the benefits and said in a delicate voice:

“Xu Yinluo, whoever sees it gets a share!”

At that moment, the auger’s head poked out of the sea, spitting out human words and complaining:

“Is there any mistake Ah sir, such a chicken woman still stay around, sleep with her and then kick her into the sea ah, bunk boy!”

The silver-haired Demoness’s face sank as she glared angrily at Xu Qi’an.

What does what it says have to do with me …….. Xu Qi’an was all smiles.

Ignoring the vixen’s displeasure, Xu Qi’an gazed and sensed the augur’s talent, and his brows immediately furrowed as he opened his eyes in surprise:

“There’s something wrong with this auger!”

The silver-haired demon girl sneered:

“Is there something wrong with it or with you?”

Xu Qi’an wasn’t joking, the Jiao Long’s innate divine abilities were exceptionally chaotic, with elemental divine abilities such as water, fire, thunder, and earth, in addition to other messy divine abilities.

This is clearly problematic.

As he stopped the ship, he informed the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox of his discovery.

The silver-haired Demoness frowned as she listened:

“No way!”

She seemed to remember something, two fox tails out of the water, in the “clattering” waves, the dragon “grabbed” out, floating in mid-air.

“The innate aptitude of the demon race is usually condensed in the inner dan, and in the case of divine and demonic descendants, it depends on the thinness of the bloodline; those with a high purity of divine and demonic bloodline will be branded in the flesh and blood, and on the surface of the body. Those with a thin bloodline are branded in the inner dan.”

The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox said.

Xu Qi’an said:

“The lines on this auger dragon’s body is a talent aptitude, isn’t it?”

Bright beautiful eyes gazing at those twisted lines, the silver-haired demon girl nodded her head as she spoke:

“I probably know why …….. These lines will confuse the Yuan Shen, so I didn’t look closely just now, and as you can see, they are misaligned.”

Xu Qi’an nodded.

The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox continued:

“Nonetheless, the innate divine abilities represented by these ripples are all different. Moreover, every single ripple is mutilated. It is like an aggregation of mutilated talent divine abilities.

“I think that’s why you perceive the Gifted Avatar as a mess.”

Xu Qi’an pondered for a moment, gazing at the Demon Lady’s gorgeous face, and said:

“This is what happens.”

Consult a professional for specialized questions.

“How do I know.”

She rolled her dainty little eyes, then blushed furiously:

“Gifted aptitudes are born, they are stored in the bloodline, some are single lineage, some are double lineage, but it’s impossible for such a situation to exist. The mere fact that the talent aptitude is crippled is enough to explain the problem.”

Xu Qi’an said with deliberation:

“Could its descent into berserkness and loss of sanity be related to the strange tattoos on its body? It’s because of these extra messy aptitudes that it’s gone mad.”

The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox let out a “hmmm”, “I also have this suspicion, but its sanity is already missing, so we have no way of knowing where it has been or what happened to it.”

She had a look of pity on her face!

Xu Qi’an, however, laughed:

“We don’t know, but the Sailor Queen might know. Let’s visit the Sailor Island first and probe the situation, we helped her solve a strong enemy, it’s not too much to ask for some information.”

In addition to that, there is also information on the various places where the descendants of gods and demons live, and the habitats of powerful creatures.

Well, by the way, meet the queen of the sharks, who is known for her beauty.

At that moment, not far from the surface of the sea, a head drilled out, an extremely iconic-looking beauty with dark green hair, crushed gold pupils, and pointed ears.

Both curious and timid, she surveyed Xu Qi’an and the Nine-Tailed Fox at the bow of the boat.

It came just in time ……… Xu Qi an muttered in his heart, probed out his palm, and grasped and captured with all five fingers.
