Chapter 57 – Subdued

The female mackerel’s face struggled up in terror, her slender tail flapping non-stop, like a fish being carried in mid-air.

It was only then that Xu Qi’an got a good look at the lower half of the shark’s body, which wasn’t too different from an ordinary fish, but the forked tail fins were thick and wide, and it felt as if a single flick of the tail could slap a person to death.

The fish tail flaps powerfully, the lines are beautiful, resting in the human female, this is a strip, no, it is a pair of long, fit legs ……… Xu Qi an noticed that she was wearing rattan armor, and her neck was hung with a necklace of pearls and scallops strung together to convey the intention:

“You’re the Shark Queen’s own guard?”

The sharks definitely didn’t speak human language, but the good thing was that the Yuan Shen was powerful to a certain extent, and could directly spread ideas instead of language.

The most rudimentary use is to let the other person know their likes and dislikes, and to try to use thoughts instead of words, the genjutsu level is at least transcendent (for martial artists only).

“Who are you people!”

The female shark said.

The sharks were speaking the language of the gods and demons, a language that had been passed down from ancient times, so Xu Qi’an didn’t understand it.

The silver-haired demon girl faintly said:

“You’re in no position to ask us questions, answer mine.”

She instantly outwardly released a wisp of her breath, and it caused the female mackerel’s fish tail to tremble, revealing a look of fear and nodding her head vigorously.

The Nine-tailed Sky Fox’s face was serious, looking extremely cold, and it was at this time that she had a few moments of the queen’s high spirits and asked:

“Is your Sailor Island in trouble.”

Said, glancing at the half-dozen mermaid corpses on the deck.

The female shark who was ‘carried’ in the air by Xu Qi’an, her gaze lingered on the corpses on the deck, revealing a saddened expression, “Not long ago, a powerful descendant of gods and demons came to the shark island and devoured quite a few of our clansmen. The queen led her personal guards out to sea to fight, but failed to drive away the other party, and many sisters were eaten.”

The love concept of the sharks is so loyal that it is deformed, and when they meet a capricious couple, they will insist on the one-child system, not to mention three children, and they are not even willing to have two children.

Therefore, even after endless years of reproduction, the number of sharks has not been up, and sometimes even negative growth.

Every member of the clan is exceptionally valuable.

Xu Qi’an asked:

“Why does this auger want to eat you all.”

The female shark held her head back and shook it:

“I don’t know.

“The clan is now hiding in the caves of the island, afraid to go out to sea. The Queen has been injured and is recuperating in the palace. I came out to scout the situation, and just now I heard its roar over here, so I came over to take a look.”

Speaking of which, she remembered the horror of being dominated by the monster, and her shattered gold eyes rolled in panic, looking left and right with trepidation:

“You guys suffered from it too, right?

“I’m just here to check the situation, no offense, please let me go, if it finds me, it will go crazy.”

Seeing Xu Qi’an and the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox’s calm faces, looking as if they hadn’t realized the seriousness of the problem at all, she became more and more anxious:

“You may not know, it will go crazy when it encounters a shark, once it goes crazy, the queen is no match for it.”

Don’t think that just because it’s gone, it’s gone.

Xu Qi’an, who didn’t understand the language of the gods and demons, turned his head to look at the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox, who translated the female shark’s words.

Xu Qi’an’s face changed, pointing at the sea surface underneath the female shark, panicking:

“Is it!”

The female shark looked down, only to see the rolling blue waves of the sea, revealing a hideous dragon head, scarlet eyes looking at her morosely, slowly opening its bloody mouth.

“Ah~”

She let out a shriek, her face contorted with fear, her fish tail quivering spasmodically as it split open somewhere in the tail and spewed out clear liquid.

That scared the piss out of me, huh? Wait, sharp teeth …….. Xu Qi’an noticed that when this female shark screamed, her small mouth opened, revealing two small sharp pointed teeth.

The shark race does not have the blessing of mouth ah ……… He thought with some regret, did not scare the other party again, maneuvered the auger dragon to dive to the bottom of the sea, and waited for the female sharks to be able to calm their emotions, and said:

“It has been subdued by me, now take us to the Sailor Queen.”

The female sharks gazed frequently out to sea, not fully convinced, their faces still terrified.

Xu Qi’an maneuvered the auger dragon to the surface, maneuvering it to swim around the vessel in a docile manner.

After witnessing it with her own eyes, the female shark gradually accepted the reality and chose to believe it, her gaze towards Xu Qi’an unable to hide her surprise.

One must know that this auger dragon was an even more powerful existence than the queen, and such a powerful creature had actually willingly submitted.

It’s harder than killing it.

She knew that the Evil Scroll was insane and irrational.

Thinking about it, the shark women grew more and more in awe.

But she still shook her head stubbornly:

“I… I need to report to the Queen first.”

There was no way she could bring such a terrifyingly powerful person to the Queen in private, it was a realization that the Queen’s own guards should have, a realization that was above life.

Xu Qi’an nodded slightly:

“Go early and come back early.”

Casually throwing her out, the female shark slid in an arc in mid-air and ‘plopped’ into the sea.

………

Capital.

Ling Bao Guan, in the secluded small courtyard, Chu Yuan Jing sat in the quiet room, looking at the opposite side of the futon, cold and absolutely beautiful as the nine heavenly fairies Luo Yu Heng.

“What does the State Master think, how should I step out of my own path and advance to Transcendence?”

Chu Yuanjian asked for advice with an open mind.

As a registered disciple of the Human Sect and following the path of the sword, the only person Chu Yuanzheng could ask for advice was Luo Yuheng.

Xu Qi’an’s words before his departure, as well as the fact that the members of the Tiandi Association had been promoted to Transcendent Mortal one after another, had put him under great pressure, making him impatient to improve himself, to transcend mortals, and to step into the realm of Transcendent Mortals.

In front of outsiders, Luo Yu Heng was always a cool and lonely appearance, austere and inviolable.

She took a moment to pause and slowed down:

“The three major sword arts of the Human Sect, Royalty, Heart, and Qi, the first two want to be utilized to their fullest extent, all of which require a strong Yuan Shen as support. You don’t cultivate the Dao Sect’s mind, and the fourth grade is already the limit. As for Qi, your Nurturing Intent has opened up a whole new path.

“It’s just that this move is about thick and thin, so it can be used as a killer weapon, but it’s difficult to use it in a normal fight against the enemy.”

Chu Yuanzhan smiled bitterly:

“The State Master is wise.”

Luo Yu Heng said:

“Nurtured intent, nurtured intent, is also emotion. The karmic fire of the Human Sect happens to be the seven emotions, so why don’t we try to explore in that direction.”

Chu Yuanjian’s eyes lit up, followed by a complex expression.

While he felt that the State Master had pushed open the door to a new world for him, he also felt that behind the door might be an abyss of ten thousand feet.

What if I am eroded by the karmic fire, can I also find Xu Qi an double rest …… Chu Scholar s face is more complicated.

………

Shark Island, in the cave.

Inside the island, it is dotted with natural caves, the entrances of which are connected to the bottom of the sea, and seawater is poured into the caves, forming a suitable, natural shelter for the sharks to live in.

Azizi swings his strong, powerful tail, stirring up the undercurrents and diving quickly across the ocean floor, the skin and flesh of his armpits separating to reveal gills that allow him to breathe underwater.

It didn’t take long to return to Sailor’s Island.

She searched precisely for a submarine cavern that led to the cavern and nimbly burrowed in.

Quickly passing through the long, narrow underwater tunnel, she began to float upwards, and after a few seconds, burrowed smoothly out of the water.

Aziz transformed his respiratory system, twitching his handsome nose and taking a few hard breaths of fresh air.

It is a huge cave with an inverted stalactite on top and a wide “river” in the center, which is flanked by uneven but walkable paths.

Azizi continued to swim along the river, and after seven twists and turns, he finally saw the palace built in a huge cave.

This palace was close to the stone wall, half in submerged in the water and generally exposed to the water.

The architectural style is ancient and simple, with boulders piled up and pointed roofs, without much ornate ornamentation.

Inside the cave, outside the palace, there were many more sharks, either in the water or sitting on the shore dipping their tails in the water, talking in low voices and with sad faces.

Since the arrival of that evil scow, the sharks didn’t dare to go out to sea anymore.

With a population of over 2,000 sharks, food becomes a huge problem.

At first there were still sharks venturing out of their undersea caves to catch food nearby, but gradually there were no more fish to hunt around Shark Island.

In addition, every time they go out, a shark is killed, so no shark dares to go out.

Today’s food sources are the wild fruits of the island, and the animals that inhabit it.

But to feed the entire shark race, this food was still a drop in the bucket.

“I can’t go on like this, I’ve been starving for two days and I’m going to go crazy without food.”

“But there’s no food around anymore.”

“It’s good to nibble on seaweed, too; it’s death to go out, and death to hide here.”

“Why is that evil scaly scull against our Sailor Clan? The Queen is no match for it either, what should we do ……..”

Whispers resounded through the shark crowd.

Each face was stony, sad and lacking in smiles, and a depressing and heavy atmosphere filled the community.

Some of the sharks were already weak from hunger.

“Azusa-sama is back!”

Some clansmen saw the returning Azizi, and while rejoicing that she didn’t perish in the mouth of the auger, they asked with great anticipation:

“Did you bring back any food?”

Aziz shook his head:

“The neighborhood has long since run out of fish and shrimp.”

The clan member who asked was filled with disappointment, and the surrounding sharks with eager gazes dimmed in color.

After a few seconds, another clan member asked:

“Where’s that evil scow? Did you encounter it, Aziz?”

The clansmen looked over again with renewed interest.

Azizi nodded:

“It was killed.”

The cave was violently silent, and the distant sharks turned their heads in unison to look at it, with shock, skepticism, and a hint of expectation in their eyes.

“Aziz, what did you say?”

An elderly shark, asked in a trembling voice.

“Really, Aziz, are you telling the truth?”

“Don’t lie to the sharks, how could that monster possibly be killed, the queen is still recuperating from her wounds in the temple.”

“Azizi, you, if you cheat, I’ll go to the Queen and tell you off.”

The surrounding sharks were instantly agitated and pursued the question, creating a cacophony of noise.

At that moment, the temple door of the distant hall opened wide, and a middle-aged female shark, holding a steel fork, swam out and looked at the crowd of sharks gathered in the river inside the hall and reprimanded:

“The Queen is recuperating, so don’t make any noise.”

She was pretty, and age had left visible scars on her face, with light crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes.

But as far as charisma goes, it’s more flavorful and sassy than a young female shark.

This middle-aged female Shark, whirling around to look at Azizi, her cold face turning slightly softer, said:

“Just come back.”

Azizi said as she twisted her waist and swung her fish tail and swam over:

“Squire, I need to see the Queen about something.”

The middle-aged female shark nodded slightly:

“Follow me.”

The two sharks immediately swam into the palace, the interior of the palace had a simple structure, a huge pool, and the walls were inlaid with countless night pearls, like stars dotting the sky.

In the center of the pool is a red transparent coral carved pedestal, on the pedestal is a large bed also made of red onyx, thin as cicada wings of the gauze net hanging down, a graceful body, skin like jade beauty lying on the side of the bed.

She was a beautiful woman with impeccable features.

Her long dark green hair was like seaweed, softly draped, her high breasts were wrapped in a tough fish skin, her belly was flat and her navel looked lovely and delicate.

Just a slightly pale face, delicate enough to have a slight frown of beauty, presenting a kind of softness that I can see, rather than the cold arrogance of a queen.

“Back!”

The Sailor Queen’s voice was soft and moist, and her shattered gold gaze was like a dream.

Azizi took a look at the small of the Queen’s back, the exaggerated wounds of yesterday were gone, and her heart was slightly relieved.

The Sailor Queen noticed her gaze and spoke softly:

“Without food, the clan won’t be able to hold out sooner or later, tomorrow my wounds will be healed, I’ll try to lure that guy away, and you guys can go out and hunt while you have the chance.”

The head guard’s face changed slightly, and he opened his mouth to try to dissuade him, but in the end, he chose to remain silent.

That Evil Jiao was powerful and had the same water talent, the Queen might not be able to escape its pursuit.

And once they were entangled, it would be another bitter battle, even with the risk of falling.

But it’s the only way.

Azizi took a breath and seemed to make up her mind, saying:

“Queen, my subordinate has encountered that evil auger outside, as well as two strong men of mysterious origins.

“That, that evil auger was taken in by one of the males.”

Well, it should be human.
