Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 373: The Spring of the Octopus Monster
Oh, I’m getting off track. Right now, she should be concerned whether her man is still alive.
Wei Wei collected the gossip glint in her eyes, her gaze fixed firmly on the jellyfish.
"Your friends?" The jellyfish sneered, "Too weak, I’ve already devoured them as nutrients!"
As the jellyfish’s words fell, Wei Wei jumped up and cursed, "You’re talking shit!"
Ling Fei is her husband, and she can sense Ling Fei’s presence nearby, but she can’t pinpoint the exact location because something is obscuring it.
Wei Wei’s outburst angered the giant jellyfish, which swung its tentacles toward the octopus monster!
As the jellyfish’s tentacles swung toward the octopus monster, a crackling sound echoed in the air!
This jellyfish, its tentacles are poisonous!
If that jellyfish really whipped them, wouldn’t it be a quick trip to see King Yan?
There’s no way the octopus monster would sit around and wait; it slapped the seawater with a few tentacles and leaped into the air.
Unwilling to show weakness, it launched an attack on the jellyfish.
Xia Mian and the others were on the octopus monster’s tentacles, somewhat affecting the octopus monster’s performance.
Xia Liang waved his hand and tossed out something like a broom, which grew larger in the air, becoming a vessel artifact.
"Let’s go watch the show from up there," Xia Liang said, leaping onto the broomstick first.
Xia Mian and the others didn’t delay, as staying on the octopus monster reduced its combat effectiveness, and they didn’t want to be a burden.
With Xia Mian and the others safely evacuated, the octopus monster became unrestrained, almost overpowering the jellyfish in a fight.
But it was clear the octopus monster was holding back, sympathetic!
Xia Mian gently frowned. This wasn’t good; they were in a hurry to rescue, not to watch the octopus monster flirt with the jellyfish!
Just as that thought crossed Xia Mian’s mind, the jellyfish, previously being suppressed, suddenly darted into the water!
The octopus monster hadn’t yet located the jellyfish when a jet of water suddenly erupted from below the broom!
This jellyfish actually gave up on the octopus monster and went straight for Xia Mian and the others!
The octopus monster was stunned in midair, its voice carrying a hint of schadenfreude, "Hua Hua, what else but stupidity is this?"
Before the octopus monster’s voice faded, Xia Liang had already waved his hand, causing the seawater to pour into the sky, forming a giant aqueous curtain barrier!
The barrier then transformed into a shimmering water net, directly enveloping the jellyfish!
The jellyfish’s eyes showed a human-like disdain, as if saying, "I rule this domain," with defiant arrogance.
However, in the next moment, Xia Liang showed her that there’s always something greater.
Trapped in the watery net, though it was merely water, the jellyfish couldn’t escape!
"Just a bunch of puny exotic beasts! How dare you act up in front of me!" Xia Liang sneered arrogantly, "Here’s your last chance. Where are our people? If you don’t speak, you’ll never get another chance!"
No sooner had Xia Liang finished speaking than the octopus monster scolded the jellyfish, "You silly Hua Hua, speak up! If you don’t, are you going to die for someone else?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
The octopus monster actually understood well. As Sea Kings, they usually stayed deep in the sea for cultivation, not making enemies.
The jellyfish must have been summoned and negotiated with, like before, to detain the master’s friends.
But now, with the master here demanding them, it should realize that some people and creatures aren’t to be messed with; doing so would earn you a great loss!
That’s the octopus monster’s painful lesson!
"None of your damn business!" the jellyfish snapped irritably.
Although they were Sea Kings, they needed human offerings and faith power to continue cultivating.
She was different from the other six Sea Kings. They all had better foundations, while she had taken over this sea area halfway from her father, who wanted to retire early.
She was weak and needed more power of faith.
"Don’t be foolish, serving those stupid humans! It’s not worth it!" the octopus monster urged.
These days, it’s been aware of the disturbances in this sea area, and hadn’t troubled the jellyfish just because it didn’t want to confront her.
But now, under the master’s pressure, it had to confront the jellyfish.
The jellyfish struggled a moment longer in the watery net but still couldn’t break free.
Clearly, this was her territory, yet she was easily suppressed.
She was quite a failure of a Sea King.
"So weak, yet still a Sea King?" Wei Wei’s mouth gaped in surprise.
Xia Mian squinted slightly, "If she were truly this weak, how could Xia Weizhang and Ling Fei have been so easily captured by her?"
No sooner had Xia Mian finished speaking than the watery net around the jellyfish exploded.
In the next moment, a larger jellyfish rose slowly from the sea, holding her up in mid-air.
The jellyfish, like a child who did something wrong, drooped her head, "I’m useless. I can’t even handle a few cultivators. I’m not suitable to be a Sea King."
The big jellyfish’s voice boomed, "It’s not about suitability. This sea will ultimately be yours."
After speaking, the big jellyfish lowered the small one, then rose before Xia Mian and the others, "The people you’re seeking are no longer in this sea area."
The big jellyfish’s expression was calm, its tone flat, not looking for a fight.
This made Xia Mian regard it more highly.
It seemed that living long truly brought wisdom, whether in humans or beasts.
"Who ordered you to attack them?" Xia Mian’s gaze fell on the big jellyfish.
The big jellyfish’s aura of spiritual power was much denser, clearly stronger than that of Jellyfish Huahua.
However, if it really came to a fight, even this big jellyfish wouldn’t be their match.
"A group of cultivators," the big jellyfish didn’t conceal anything, "a few seem to be from the Artifact Refining Sect, and others are pirates from our sea area."
"However, after succeeding, they’ve already left this sea area," the big jellyfish said gravely, "I believe they’ll soon contact you. After all, they didn’t kill those people outright initially, perhaps to negotiate with you."
Xia Mian pressed her lips tightly, "People of my Divine Clan, we can sense them. Whether they’ve left, we can sense that too."
She paused, "It seems you didn’t speak the truth."
Xia Mian’s eyes suddenly turned sharp, her gaze burning as it landed on the big jellyfish.
Apparently, he wasn’t transparent from living long; he was pretty cunning!
