"Good, good, good..." The Jiao Qing, perhaps confused with anger, uttered three "good"s in succession.
Hearing this, Chu Tian thought to himself, "What good is it!"
Before he could finish speaking, he heard Jiao Qing continue, "Since you're here, then let's fight... Throwers... Prepare!"
Chu Tian was taken aback. They were about to go to war.
"Wait a minute..." Chu Tian quickly interjected.
Luo Luo and Yin Yiran were still in the enemy's hands. This Jiao Qing was truly a hothead. He resorts to fighting when he can't win an argument.
Chu Tian's interruption immediately drew the attention of the other side.
"Father... he's the one who hit me!" This sentence echoed through several of the aquatic tribes' formations, though the titles differed. Some called out "Mother," others "Second Uncle," and some "Grandfather."
Chu Tian also noticed that it turned out he was the one who had struck someone. The other party had gone to find their parents.
"Human... you... commit suicide!" Suddenly, an elder appeared from the opposing side, a turtle shell strapped to his back.
Chu Tian was stunned upon hearing this.
"It's over..." Little Dragon Girl covered her face beside him. As expected.
"F*ck your ancestors, you old turtle! Have you lived so long your brain has atrophied? You want me, Third Master Chu, to commit suicide? Believe it or not, I'll skin your turtle shell and give it to fortune tellers to shake every day!"
As Chu Tian spoke, his Jiao Sha robe fluttered. With a movement, he appeared in the center of the battlefield, about a thousand meters from the enemy.
"Nephew, no..." The Jiao Ren King suddenly exclaimed, his expression changing drastically.
Just as he finished speaking, Chu Tian's eyes flashed. He spotted a silver light. A chilling sensation rose from his tailbone, surging up his spine and into his mind. Chu Tian's divine sense could extend 500 meters, but this distance was clearly insufficient for the silver light he had just seen.
The Jiao Ren King had also clearly noticed this, rushing out with his small, frail body. Little Dragon Girl, Wei Du, and Chu Xinghe were half a step slower than him.
*Buzz... Ding...*
At this moment, a five-colored light erupted from Chu Tian's body. A buzzing sound was followed by a crisp *ding*. Chu Tian finally saw what the silver light was! It was a tuna, about two feet long. Its sharp snout was resting on his chest. The sharp aura sent a shiver down his spine.
"F*ck your ancestors..." Chu Tian was furious.
The tuna's eyes also flashed with disbelief. Just as Chu Tian raised his fist to strike it, the creature's tail flicked, and its body shot backward. Its speed was no less than when it charged. Another silver light flashed, and it was 500 meters away. Chu Tian's punch landed on empty air.
"Five colors... it's truly a five-colored light... Hahaha, nephew... you really are a divine envoy!" The Jiao Ren King only arrived beside Chu Tian as events unfolded rapidly. He stared at Chu Tian, his face filled with excitement.
Chu Tian shot him a sidelong glance, thinking, "This guy is still fixated on the unverified identity."
"Chu Tian, are you alright?" Chu Xinghe arrived nearby, looking Chu Tian up and down.
"I'm fine..." Chu Tian was also shaken and filled with lingering fear. He looked at his chest. The five-colored supreme bone, which had automatically protected him, hadn't fully defended against the opponent's attack. If not for the Jiao Sha robe he was wearing, he might have been injured. He couldn't help but be astonished. This seemingly thin layer, besides allowing him to breathe and swim freely underwater, also possessed such high defensive capabilities.
"Jiao King, hand over this human, and we can shake hands and be at peace again!"
The opponent did not attack again. However, after the silver tuna returned, it moved aside from the Megalodon. The shark-headed monster clearly exchanged words with it, and a flicker of thought passed through its eyes. At this moment, it slowly spoke.
"Nonsense... Do you take me for a piece of cargo? Believe it or not, I'll turn all of you into canned fish!" Chu Tian's eyes moved. Before the Jiao Ren King could speak, he spoke first.
"Jiao King, what do you mean?" The shark monster ignored Chu Tian, acting in a haughty manner.
"Nephew, did you hear that fish fart?" The Jiao Ren King, with his diminutive stature, stuck his small, chicken-claw-like hand into his ear and dug around.
"Who knows if it was a burp or a fart... maybe it was grinding its teeth?" Chu Tian's expression was a mixture of a smile and seriousness; he was actually holding back his laughter. He hadn't expected the Jiao Ren King to have such a side to him. He was nothing like a human emperor, who was aloof and rigid.
"Nephew, is this canned fish you speak of delicious food?" The Jiao Ren King suddenly changed the subject and asked, his eyes showing some anticipation.
"Uh?" Chu Tian was taken aback. He then explained it was a preservation method, and indeed, it tasted good.
"Then do you know how to make it?" the Jiao Ren King continued to ask.
"Uh..." This stumped Chu Tian. He also had no idea why the other party was asking such a question before the great battle.
"Enough of you..." Just as the Jiao Ren King noticed Chu Tian's confusion, the shark monster spoke, feeling insulted. With the twelve sea tribes and over a hundred thousand tribal members present, they were discussing making canned fish. Although he didn't know what canned fish was, he instinctively felt it wasn't a good thing and was probably related to him. The patriarch of the Megalodon tribe spoke, and the other tribes also showed anger.
"Shut up..."
*Boom...* Chu Tian suddenly felt a tremor in his head. His ears roared. A deafening roar came from in front of him. However, the direction of this sound wave was towards the aquatic tribes 500 meters away.
*Boom... Bang...* With the appearance of the sound wave, the seawater churned. Chu Tian saw an explosion form underwater, striking the group of aquatic tribes. Chu Tian's expression tightened. Was this just the Jiao Ren King's roar? The distant aquatic tribes were thrown into disarray by this sudden outburst. The old turtle who had spoken earlier suddenly grew to an immense size, shielding its turtle offspring. The patriarch of the Megalodon tribe also widened his small, round eyes. Without growing larger, he also opened his mouth and let out a roar. It formed a sonic boom and collided with the other. In an instant, the seabed boiled. Countless sand and mud churned.
"Clear..." Just as Chu Tian and the others prepared to retreat, they heard a clear voice. Princess San, Xing, had, at some point, appeared behind them. With this one word, Chu Tian felt a strange fluctuation, somewhat similar to a spell, but different from those cast in games or by the people of Xuantian Star. However, the effect was undeniable. The sediment in the murky seawater seemed to be drawn down, instantly settling onto the seabed. In the blink of an eye, the underwater world regained its clarity.
