Hunting for spirit rings?
Everyone’s expression, including Xiao Bai’s, was subtle.
Tang San, who knew Tang Sui’s method of “hunting” spirit rings involved devouring spirit beasts, remained silent.
Xiao Wu and Xiao Bai, unaware of Tang Sui’s peculiar advancement method, were confused.
Didn’t they, as transformed spirit beasts, normally split out the most suitable spirit ring for their next realm?
Then Xiao Wu had a sudden realization.
Oh, Sui Sui’s situation seemed to be the reverse.
Dai Mu Bai and the others, who assumed Tang Sui followed the traditional spirit master advancement method, were shocked.
What powerful spirit beast was even Sui Sui unable to defeat, needing to call for backup?!
Could it be that the target was another ten-thousand-year sea spirit beast?
At this moment, apart from the three at the center of the storm, the expressions on everyone else’s faces could be captured and turned into various memes.
Finally, after listening to Shang Yang’s reason for coming to the island, Bo Sa Xi was silent for two seconds before nodding in understanding and said calmly, “I see. I have a detailed map of sea spirit beast distribution here, also marking which ones are friendly spirit beasts of Seagod Island. If Your Excellency needs it, I can provide a copy.”
Shang Yang looked at Tang Sui, and Tang Sui nodded.
Although their objective this trip was the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, having a detailed map marking the distribution of sea spirit beasts was still good.
While avoiding harming friendly forces, they might even be able to get some extra benefits.
“Then I’ll trouble you, senior.”
Tang Sui put on a smile.
Bo Sa Xi also wore a faint smile, took out a sheepskin parchment sea map from her spirit tool, and handed it to Tang Sui. Then she looked at Xiao Bai and Tang San, who had become background props, and said, “Six months have passed. The dangers ahead will not cease. I hope you can pass the second trial soon.”
After speaking, the scepter in Bo Sa Xi’s hand began to glow with a pale golden light, enveloping her. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared before everyone.
Shang Yang, feeling that Bo Sa Xi’s aura had indeed left the island’s vicinity, unceremoniously took the rolled-up sea map from Tang Sui. He untied the red silk ribbon binding it, spread the map out, adjusted its height, and held it up to Tang Sui, saying:
“Take a look, where shall we start?”
His words left his companions in stunned silence.
Ma Hong Jun, who had reached level 69, looked at Tang Sui with envy. Tears almost streamed from the corners of his mouth as he whispered to Tang San beside him, “Wuwuwu, Third Brother, do you think Uncle still needs big nephews? I can change my name to Tang Hong Jun.”
He had seen it all. The map detailed even the territories of ten-thousand-year sea spirit beasts.
Yet, this person was still confident enough to let Sui Sui choose whatever she wanted!
Wuwuwu, his own teacher had never been this “generous”!
Tang San: “……”
He suppressed the complex and subtly displeased feelings in his heart and gave Ma Hong Jun a smile devoid of warmth, saying, “I don’t think he does, and neither Sui Sui nor I have a brother named ‘Tang Hong Jun’.”
Ma Hong Jun’s eyes immediately turned resentful, but before he could speak, his ear was pulled by another fair hand.
“Ouch! Xiang Xiang, be gentle, be gentle!”
“Enough of that. You’re dreaming up fantasies all day! It’s better to focus on cultivation! The second trial has already been half a year!”
Bai Chen Xiang, who was pulling Ma Hong Jun’s ear, said speechlessly. The strength in her hand loosened slightly as he cried out to be gentler.
Tang Sui glanced at the sea map, had the system record it, and then pointed at a location on the map, saying, “Uncle Snake, let’s go here first.”
Tang San, with his keen eyesight, took in the spot Tang Sui indicated.
It was a narrow corner where two large sea regions intersected. The sea spirit beast owners of the adjacent territories were…
He didn’t see, because Shang Yang rolled up the map and put it away.
“Alright, let’s go now.” Shang Yang, with his hands free, naturally intended to take Tang Sui’s hand.
Tang San narrowed his eyes, feeling a slight tickle in his hand.
Tang Sui, completely oblivious, waved to her companions and said with a smile, “That’s how things are! Everyone work hard to pass the second trial. Uncle Snake and I are going to find my eighth spirit ring. Oh, and by the way, Brother.”
She looked at Tang San, “You can tell them about the Slaughter City. I’m a bit busy and need to head off first.”
Tang San: “……?”
Before Tang San could speak, Tang Sui looked at Ma Hong Jun again, “Fatty, you also work hard on your cultivation. When I’m done here, I’ll bring you to find a suitable seventh spirit ring for you.”
Ma Hong Jun’s eyes lit up.
Such a good thing?!
“Sui Sui, you go ahead! I will definitely cultivate diligently!”
Shang Yang glanced at this human fatty who was barely enough to fill the gaps in his teeth, snorted, and black mist rose from beneath their feet. The next second, they transformed into a black light and flew away from the island.
Feeling that terrifying aura recede, Xiao Bai also let out a sigh and walked to Tang San, looking at him in confusion, “How did you siblings get involved with such a terrifying fellow?”
The mere thought of a primordial beast capable of transforming into human form made her scalp tingle.
Xiao Wu’s pink eyes narrowed, and she scrutinized Tang San, “Xiao San, what did Sui Sui mean just now? Is there anything else you’re hiding from us?”
Dai Mu Bai also put his arm around Tang San’s shoulder, his eyes somewhat sinister, “Xiao San, when you and Sui Sui were talking about your five years of experience at Shrek Academy, did you still conceal something? I’ve never heard Sui Sui mention such an ‘uncle’.” Su Dan Novel Network
Ning Rong Rong and the others also gathered around kindly.
Tang San, facing everyone alone: “……”
He shouldn’t have believed Sui Sui’s promise of a surprise.
This was clearly a shock!
However… did something feel a bit off?
This doubt flashed through Tang San’s mind, but was soon forgotten due to his companions’ relentless pressing.
……
Far from the turbulent, dark sky, the sky above this sea region was clear and boundless.
It was a perfect day for sunbathing, but as is well known, most demons dislike the sun filled with pure Yang energy.
Even Shang Yang, whose attributes were still fire-related after his advancement, looked listless.
“I really don’t like sunbathing,” Tang Sui sighed, taking refuge in the shade of Shang Yang’s tall shadow. The salty sea breeze rushed past her ears.
The moisture emanating from the ocean diluted the scorching heat of the sun.
“Uncle Snake, how much longer until we arrive?”
Shang Yang was uncertain, “It should be soon. Our direction is probably correct. I remember there was a small island at the location you pointed out, but I haven’t seen it yet. We should be there if we go a little further.”
Tang Sui: “……”
‘System.’
She poked a certain silent system in her mind.
【En.】
The system responded aloofly. Before Tang Sui could convey further instructions, it had already opened the map it had created based on the map provided by Bo Sa Xi.
The small green dot on it was the real-time location of Tang Sui and Shang Yang.
The black stars, marked with care, were their destination for this trip.
She had no idea until she looked. Tang Sui fell silent.
“……Uncle Snake.”
Shang Yang lowered his head in confusion, “En?”
She looked up faintly, “We’re going the wrong way.”
Yes, not just slightly off course, but completely reversed.
From the beginning, they had been heading in the opposite direction.
And the one looking at the map was Shang Yang, who had confidently led the way.
Shang Yang: “……”
A look of disbelief appeared on his handsome features.
