Alarms blared, interrupting Chu Tian's words. The sound was so violent that Chu Tian himself didn't hear what he was saying.
"Annoying…"
Chu Tian roared in anger.
"Dragon Devourer, go out and see what's happening…"
Chu Tian activated his dantian, and a black earthworm, about an inch long, appeared in his hand. He grabbed the creature by its tail and flung it out!
*Roar…*
The creature expanded in mid-air, becoming a strange, giant catfish.
"Can it eat?"
The creature pouted and asked Chu Tian.
"Devour all intruders!"
Chu Tian's eyes were sinister. His divine sense had already scanned the area. It was the same gate he had entered through. Outside, various marine creatures were amassing, intending to attack Whale Fall City.
"Alright…"
With a flick of its tail, the giant catfish vanished.
"You cannot!"
The Mermaid King's face contorted in shock!
"Why not?"
Chu Tian retorted, his gaze sharp.
"The one leading them is from the Megalodon clan, the commander of all the sea tribes around Whale Fall City! Miss Luo and Miss Yin are in their hands. Moreover… the Mermaid tribe cannot attack the sea folk… Even though those outside are just miscellaneous fish from various tribes… we still cannot…"
As he spoke, the Mermaid King's eyes flickered. He gazed in the direction outside, likely sensing what was happening. Outside Whale Fall City, the Dragon Devourer had already acted. It was massive, several times larger than the blue whale. It appeared outside without a word. Opening its maw, countless creatures were swallowed.
"Hahaha… It's been so long since I ate this well… *burp*…"
With a single gulp, the area outside Whale Fall City was cleared. The battle had ended in mere moments while the Mermaid King was speaking.
"My apologies, you spoke too slowly…" Chu Tian said nonchalantly. As he spoke, he turned to leave.
"Third Princess, please lead the way. Where is the Megalodon clan located?" Chu Tian asked as he turned.
"Honored guest, please wait…"
The Third Princess remained silent. It was the King who spoke again.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have something to fart, fart quickly. I'm busy!"
Having been interrupted twice, Chu Tian's temper flared again. He didn't care if the other was a king. Every second wasted here meant a fraction more danger for Luo Luo and Yin Yiran.
"Was that… the Dragon Devourer?"
The King was clearly startled. No one had ever spoken to him this way before. However, he quickly blurted out his question.
"So what if it was? So what if it wasn't?" Chu Tian replied coldly.
"Then may I ask, do you also possess the Dragon of Fortune?" the King probed cautiously.
"Is it this little loach?"
Chu Tian's dantian flashed, and a small, golden dragon was held by its tail, dangling.
"Uh… it really is the Dragon of Fortune!"
*Slap… slap…*
At that very moment, dozens of merfolk within the palace collapsed onto the ground. The King included. In the next instant, they prostrated themselves, lying on the ground like dead fish. The Mermaid King was no different. Such profound respect was even greater than what they showed when meeting the Little Dragon Girl.
This stunned Chu Tian. The Little Dragon Girl was also bewildered. Moreover, the Little Dragon Girl's expression was peculiar as she looked at what Chu Tian was holding. When the Dragon Devourer had appeared earlier, the Little Dragon Girl had already had a strange premonition. However, the creature had moved too quickly for her to get a clear look. The Mermaid King had also failed to clearly see or sense it.
"Hon… honored guest… please release the Dragon of Fortune… w-will you?"
The Mermaid King was still kneeling on the ground. Chu Tian, in his astonishment, couldn't believe that this little loach held such a high status! If he had known, he would have brought it out earlier.
"Why? If it runs, is it your fault?"
Chu Tian was not on guard. He held the little golden dragon by its tail and swung it a few times.
"Yiya ya…"
Chu Tian's actions elicited a strange cry from the little golden dragon. Chu Tian remembered that when the little golden dragon had burst out from below葫芦 Island before, its speed had been incredible, zipping away so fast! Although it had returned on its own after the Dragon Devourer was subdued, who knew if this creature might suddenly decide to run off again. He had no contract with it, and what's more, he couldn't even summon it directly. At most, he could squeeze it out from his dantian.
"Chu Tian…"
However, after he finished speaking, the Mermaid King was still stunned and hadn't responded. Beside him, the Little Dragon Girl suddenly let out a scream.
"Ah?"
This startled Chu Tian.
"Let go of me…"
The Little Dragon Girl flashed and rushed in front of Chu Tian.
*Crack…*
She actually bit Chu Tian's arm with her mouth open.
"Ow… damn it… it hurts!"
Chu Tian immediately let go, and the little golden dragon darted away. The Little Dragon Girl then released her bite. Chu Tian quickly looked at his arm. Two rows of tiny, dense teeth marks showed slight redness. This Little Dragon Girl, she really…
The outer city army, assemble immediately… and encircle and suppress the Megalodon clan!
