Master of Monster Synthesis-Chapter 227 - 155: Leviathan Giant Beast (Two - s)_2

Qin Shou hurriedly nodded, "It’s so beautiful, City Lord Sister, can I trade my toys for it?"

"..."

The City Lord Mermaid’s smile froze completely. She glanced at the small metal sphere in her hand and then at her armor.

No matter how she looked at it, this wasn’t a profitable deal.

At this moment, Qin Shou spoke again, "City Lord Sister, are my toys not enough?"

"This..."

"I have plenty of these toys at home. How about I go back and bring my big turtle to trade with you? My big turtle is much heavier than your armor." Qin Shou said innocently.

As expected, the City Lord Mermaid was tempted.

Heavier than this? That must be a good deal.

Truly worthy of royalty—what a rich background!

But letting her go home? Who knows when she’d return.

If the favor slowly faded over time, approaching this little one again wouldn’t be so easy.

This monarch had already guarded this place for over a hundred years; she couldn’t afford to miss this opportunity.

Immediately, she gritted her teeth.

"Zhi Yin, little sister, I was just teasing you earlier. If you want this armor, I’ll gift it to you."

"Really?"

"Of course, Zhi Yin, little sister, you’re so gorgeous; I’ll give you anything."

"That’s wonderful, thank you, City Lord Sister, you’re so nice to me."

As she spoke, Qin Shou exhaled a bubble and instantly stored the golden armor into his space.

The City Lord Mermaid’s palm trembled, her face filled with pain, but she quickly composed herself.

It’s fine, fine—no gain without sacrifice; there will be a reward.

"Hehe, Zhi Yin, little sister, let us head back..."

Before she finished her sentence, Qin Shou swam suddenly toward a golden trident.

"City Lord Sister, this trident is so beautiful. Can you give it to me?"

The City Lord Mermaid’s heart bled; this was a weapon forged from Cosmic Meteorite Gold.

I...

Sigh, forget it—she gave him the armor; might as well give this too.

The more she lost now, the greater the reward later.

"Hehe, of course, you can have it, Zhi Yin, little sister. I’m glad you like it." She smiled awkwardly.

"Mhm, mhm, thank you, City Lord Sister."

"Eh? City Lord Sister, what’s this glowing orb?"

"This is an Energy Crystal formed after the death of a third-level merfolk. It can accelerate the growth of second-level merfolk."

"It’s so pretty. Can I have it?"

"I... sigh, alright, you can have it..."

"City Lord Sister, can you give me that spaceship too?"

"That... Zhi Yin, little sister, can your space hold it?"

"Sure, can’t yours hold it too?"

"Uh... yes, yes, it can."

The City Lord Mermaid secretly wiped the sweat from her forehead. Truly worthy of royal merfolk—what a massive space!

...

Moments later, the two left the treasure vault.

The City Lord Mermaid finally breathed a sigh of relief.

To return to the royal family, I’ve paid a steep price.

Since I’ve taken so much, this matter must be secure!

"Haha, Zhi Yin, little sister, you must be tired. Come, I’ll take you to rest."

"Mhm, mhm."

...

A short while later, in the luxurious room carefully prepared by the City Lord Mermaid, Qin Shou couldn’t hold back the side effects of his disguise any longer and gagged.

Spending the entire day pretending to be a sweet girl was nothing short of a nightmare!

But thinking about the treasures he’d obtained from the vault, he felt this nightmare could last a bit longer.

This deception went far too smoothly; he suspected the City Lord Mermaid had an agenda with him.

It must be due to his identity as a royal merfolk.

Shaking his head, Qin Shou stopped pondering—he’d be leaving in a few days anyway.

Glancing at the time, he realized that two days had unknowingly passed.

And in three days, those three female merfolk princesses had invited him to Levi Island nearby, saying they had a surprise prepared for him.

As for what kind of surprise, Qin Shou could guess without even trying—it was undoubtedly something like using others to do their dirty work.

This type of plot—be it in novels or dramas—he’d seen it countless times.

And it was exactly what Qin Shou wanted.

However, to be safe, some preparations were needed in advance.

...

During these three days, Qin Shou spent his time waking up to eat, eating to play, and playing to sleep. Except for occasionally being flirted with by the City Lord Mermaid, life was quite good.

Then today, the City Lord Mermaid once again received news of disguised humans appearing in the area and marched off furiously with her troops.

But Qin Shou knew that Liu Wushuang and others, frightened by the City Lord Mermaid last time, had long fled to other sea regions to make trouble for the merfolk—there was no way they’d still be here.

The only possibility was that someone deliberately lured the City Lord Mermaid away, and the purpose was to give the three princesses a chance to invite him to Levi Island.

"Zhi Yin, little sister, let’s head out!"

The three princesses, accompanied by a group of merfolk soldiers, blocked the entrance, their smiles growing brighter.

...

Soon after, led by the three female merfolk, Qin Shou surfaced above the water, his face innocently gazing at the distant small island.

"Three sisters, what fun is there on that island?"

"Hehe, the fun isn’t on the island but beneath it."

One of the mermaids pulled Qin Shou back into the water and pointed towards the distant cluster of underwater reefs.

"Zhi Yin, little sister, keep going. The surprise we prepared for you is inside."

"Mhm, mhm."

Qin Shou nodded excitedly, flicking his tail as he quickly swam toward the reefs.

A moment later, as his figure was obscured by the reefs, the three female merfolk exchanged cruel smirks.

"She’s in, what a fool."

"Indeed, the sea beast inside was personally subdued by the royal merfolk. If a single royal female merfolk goes in, it’ll surely be devoured in a rage."

"All we need to do is wait until she’s swallowed by the sea beast—even the City Lord won’t make it back in time."

"Hahaha, she’s as good as dead..."

The three mermaids burst into hysterical laughter.

But in the next moment, the merfolk soldiers seemed to sense something.

"Princesses, it looks like humans are approaching."

"Humans?"

The mermaids’ faces twisted with viciousness. "Perfect—another group of scapegoats."

As the words left her mouth, a dazzling blast of Thunder Energy suddenly tore through the water toward the sea beast, spreading terrifying thunder power throughout the sea and instantly paralyzing a majority of the merfolk soldiers.

"They’re humans from Vajra Nine Stars!"

Several Horror Nine Stars merfolk soldiers were suddenly alarmed.

"Princesses, we must retreat—they’re humans from Vajra Nine Stars..."

...

Within the reefs, Qin Shou watched the transmission from his communicator and smirked.

"Nice timing."

The three female mermaids didn’t bring Nightmare Level merfolk soldiers with them and didn’t have the authority to mobilize them either.

So, the fighters outside amounted to, at most, three Horror Nine Stars male merfolk.

However, he had previously informed the Beast Cultivation Main City, Mechanical Main City, and Beast Power Main City—seventeen people had been dispatched to this sea region.

Dealing with these male merfolk was far easier than handling the females.

Seeing the battle would take some time, Qin Shou retrieved an underwater drone submarine recently manufactured by Big Big Wolf and remotely controlled it to explore deeper into the reefs.

Connecting to the communicator feed, within a minute, the feed showed a deep underwater tunnel.

Beside the tunnel hung a small sign.

[→ Surprise]

Qin Shou: "..."

These three ladies really think I’m an idiot?

He maneuvered the submarine into the tunnel, turning on high-beam lights for further exploration.

Two minutes later, from the distant darkness, a light flickered.

Keep going!

The submarine’s propellers whirred, suddenly plunging into a massive underwater cavern.

In the pitch-black cave, two glowing lights flickered conspicuously.

Upon seeing this scene, Qin Shou increased the energy output, flooding the cavern with light, revealing part of its expanse.

"Buzz!"

As light surged, a massive, menacing giant maw slowly emerged from the darkness—the two glowing lights turned out to be the beast’s eyes! freeweɓnovel-cøm

"Crack..."

Suddenly, the giant maw opened slightly, and the feed went black.

Qin Shou shut off the communicator screen, his face serious.

So it really was the legendary Leviathan—no wonder even royal merfolk couldn’t control it, only imprison it here.

Regarding the situation on Levi Island, he had already fully investigated.

In the merfolk world, Levi Island was said to imprison the Titan Giant Beast Leviathan—a claim that was mere myth.

But the actions of the three female mermaids proved the myth was likely real.

Leviathan, with a strength minimum of Nightmare Level Nine Stars, was terrifying beyond belief; even royal merfolk suppressing it spoke volumes of their unimaginable power.

Fortunately, Leviathan was an Ancient Titan Giant Beast—methods the merfolk used to control sea beasts didn’t work on it.

Otherwise, over the years, the merfolk wouldn’t have been content with merely ruling the Merfolk Sea Region.

Turning his gaze back to the battlefield, the three Horror Nine Stars male merfolk led their soldiers fiercely against Li Jing and his team, neither side gaining the upper hand.

Meanwhile, the three princesses took the opportunity to slip away from the battle.

Qin Shou sneered coldly. Before the City Lord Mermaid reacts, I’ll turn you all into crafting materials!
