Traveling through the world of beasts, making a living

Chapter 155: Earth Spirit Pearl Seeks its Master

When everyone saw Wushuang fall, they felt a pang of fear in their hearts. They wondered how powerful these men in black could be, and what kind of curses they were chanting, and why they were directed at Wushuang.

Long Ying stood nearby, his eyes fixed on them fiercely. The man in black, standing in the middle, suddenly felt a surge of anger and swung his palm. The man in black, hidden within the black hide, had a sly, cunning look, and a sly demeanor. He clearly wasn't a good person.

"You dare not show your face. Who are you? Why are you killing my sea tribe members?"

"Don't ask who we are. We're here for the Five Elements Spirit Orb. Give me the Earth Spirit Orb that man has, and we'll leave. We won't kill innocent people!"

The man in black, on the other hand, spoke righteously, demonstrating shamelessness to the fullest!

Bai Chen narrowed his eyes dangerously, staring coldly at the man in black who was speaking in the middle. He said coldly:

"Your Excellency is truly ridiculous. Why should I give it to you? Because of your shamelessness? Or because of your shameless face hiding under the black animal skin!"

"How dare you." The man in black pointed at Bai Chen, who was stepped on a sore spot. Bai Chen continued as if nothing had happened:

"I don't care who you are. You've hurt our family, and you can't get away with it."

Bai Chen raised his nine large tails and rushed forward, ruthlessly breaking up their formation. Seeing this, the sea beastmen also seized the opportunity and rushed forward like a whirlwind.

Each one used all their strength, attacking without holding back. Because everyone believed that exhausting their spiritual power would lead to rebirth. They believed in Miko-sama, believed in Hanzai, and the Wushuang-sama before them was an example of this.

"My fellow tribesmen, be careful."

The tribesmen rushed up with a roar, and could not hear what Long Ying said at all. Long Ying and the other beastmen could only stand by to protect them from the black-clad men's sneak attacks and dirty tricks.

"Long Qing, Long Sha, Jin Jue. Take Wu Shuang back to the Sea King's Palace immediately. We will stay here to cover your retreat."

"I don't want to go back. If we stay, we stay together. If we leave, we leave together."

Jin Jue answered Long Ying indignantly, feeling extremely aggrieved.

"We'll just watch Wushuang, and you guys can do whatever you need to do! We won't cause any trouble!"

Although Wushuang had his eyes closed, his brain could still feel and his ears could still hear. He knew that lying there would distract Long Ying and his tribesmen, so he forced himself to open his eyes and said softly:

"I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Wushuang squeezed the Earth Spirit Pearl in his hand. He noticed that it had shrunk from an egg-sized pearl to a small object like a glass marble. He was very curious.

He prepared to take it close to his eyes and examine it carefully. When he reached his face, he saw the Earth Spirit Pearl slide into his mouth on its own, as if on its own accord. Wushuang opened his mouth wide, unable to close it, still in shock.

Long Qing and Long Sha, who were looking at him, were also quite surprised. Jin Jue immediately called Long Ying.

"Long Ying, that broken bead has gone into his stomach."

Long Ying didn't care about anyone else and hurried over, asking Wu Shuang anxiously.

"Are you okay? How could you have swallowed it?"

"I said I didn't want to swallow it, do you believe me? I just saw that it had gone from so big to so small, so I just wanted to get closer to take a look at it. I didn't expect that he would swallow it by himself." Wu Shuangshuang said while gesturing.

"So strange? Could it be that he has developed intelligence?"

Several men in black heard what was said here and immediately became furious.

"You mortal rubbish! How dare you swallow the Earth Spirit Pearl alive? I'm going to cut open your stomach and take back the Earth Spirit Pearl."

As the man in black finished speaking, the minions around him immediately formed a triangular battle formation. Seeing their ill intentions, Long Ying called on his brothers and clansmen and prepared for defense.

"Your Excellency is truly unreasonable. Not only have you harmed my people, but now you're trying to steal the Earth Spirit Pearl? If that's the case, then let's fight to the death."

Dragon Shadow, Dragon Green, and Dragon Sha transformed into three dragons, two green and one white, charging straight at the man in black. The two sides clashed together, and with the addition of Bai Chen's nine tails, the battle was so intense that it was impossible to tell who was who.

Suddenly, a conch shell blasted from outside. The man in black said, "Retreat." A puff of black smoke passed by, and the man in black vanished without a trace.

Long Ying also found it strange. These people were well-trained, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, and even evacuating so quickly. Who were they? Why did they want to steal the Earth Spirit Pearl? The doubt in his heart gradually deepened. His brows were tightly furrowed.

"Sea King, Sea King, have you ever seen these men in black in the sea tribe?"

Aquaman replied calmly, "No, never. This is the first time I've met these people."

"That's strange, where did these people come from?"

"Is it possible that it came from the bottom of that pool?"

"It's possible that the cave at the bottom of the pool extends to another sea area."

"That makes sense. If I have time, I must go to the bottom of the pool again and explore it thoroughly to see what unknown secrets it holds!"

"Don't worry about this now. Let's go back to the Sea King's Palace immediately. Wushuang needs to have a good rest!"

"Yes, yes, let's see if Wushuang can do the same as Hanzi. Refining the Earth Spirit Pearl into his own spirit pearl."

"Wushuang originally has the earth attribute, and the Earth Spirit Pearl is also close to him. If he can refine it, it would be perfect, and it will also be of great benefit to Wudeng's cultivation."

"Stop talking so much, everyone support each other and go back quickly."

Everyone followed closely, some taking their time, and returned to the Sea King's Palace.

Seeing Wushuang, like Hanzi, near collapse, Mona couldn't let go of her worries. She quickly stepped forward and helped Wushuang into the room, letting him lie down to rest. Longying stood by, his brow furrowed in thought.

"Brother Ying, what happened?" Long Ying told Mona in detail about the man in black.

Mona knew the whole story and frowned, lost in thought.

"Looks like I need to find an opportunity to explore the bottom of the pool again," Long Ying thought to himself, "I must find out the origins of these men in black and the secrets hidden at the bottom of the pool."

At this moment, Wushuang slowly opened his eyes. His eyes still looked a little tired, but much better than before.

"Wushuang, how do you feel?" Long Ying asked with concern.

"I'm fine, just a little tired." Wushuang struggled to sit up. "Who are those men in black? Why did they steal the Earth Spirit Pearl?"

Long Ying shook his head and said helplessly, "We don't know yet, but this matter is definitely not simple. You should rest well first. Once you have recovered your strength, we will discuss countermeasures."

Wushuang nodded, lay down again, and closed his eyes. Long Ying looked at him and secretly vowed in his heart that he must uncover the truth of this mysterious incident.
