Chapter 488: This Guy Needs A Beating!

However, the merfolk thought that she was deliberately making excuses. Their expressions immediately became even uglier. “What is it that you can’t even take out? We think you’re lying. Hurry up and leave, or we’ll attack!”

Huanhuan wanted to say something else.

However, before she could say anything, the two fish beasts swung their fishtails and splashed water on her.

Huanhuan was drenched.

She wiped the water off her face and secretly regretted being so stupid. She was so focused on explaining that she forgot to dodge.

Xue Ling and Bai Di were furious.

It was one thing for the merfolk to attack the two of them, but they actually dared to attack Huanhuan?!

Xue Ling was so angry that he didn’t even want to speak. He transformed into a condor and pounced at the two fish beasts!

His sharp claws hooked the two fish beasts, and he forcefully dragged them out of Rainbow Lake. He threw them roughly onto the land.

At the same time, Bai Di had transformed into a white tiger and pounced aggressively. He pressed the two fish beasts to the grass and stabbed his claws into their bodies. Blood gushed out.

The merfolk struggled and resisted.

A powerful electric current flowed into their bodies through the tiger’s claws, numbing them and making them unable to resist.

Xue Ling retracted his wings and transformed into a human the moment he landed.

As he put on his clothes, he walked up to the merfolk and squatted down. Flames burned in his palm.

“We were talking to you nicely just now, but you didn’t listen. We have no choice but to use this more direct method to solve the problem.”

The two fish beasts were trembling with anger, but they couldn’t resist.

The younger one shouted, “What do you want?!”

Xue Ling deliberately waved the flames in front of them. “I heard that eating the meat of your merfolk can make one immortal. Why don’t I make barbecued merfolk for dinner tonight? I’ll control the fire. Bai Di, you’ll be in charge of the cutting. Huanhuan just has to eat.”

Huanhuan was just standing at the side to watch the show. When she heard him, she immediately leaned over. “Can eating merfolk really make you immortal?”

“That’s what the legends say, but I can’t be sure. If you’re interested, why don’t you take a bite or two now?”

Huanhuan looked at the two fish beasts in front of her with interest.

The two of them felt that they had become a sumptuous meal in her eyes.

They couldn’t help but cry out in despair.

It was the highest pitch, like a flute. The end was so long that it hurt their eardrums.

Bai Di said, “They’re summoning their companions.”

The originally calm Rainbow Lake immediately rippled. One merfolk beast after another emerged from the bottom of the lake. They held weapons made of fish bones and slithered aggressively toward Huanhuan and the other two.

Huanhuan clicked her tongue. “You’re going all out, huh? Are we fooling around too much?”

However, Xue Ling was not flustered at all. “It’s better to go out in full force. We can take the opportunity to meet their leader.”

Bai Di pressed his front paws on the mermen’s backs and raised his head to roar deafeningly.

It was a symbol of the tigers challenging their enemies.

The merfolk immediately stopped.

If beasts issued a challenge, it would definitely be a one-on-one battle. Of course, the merfolk could refuse this challenge.

However, their people were still under the other party’s claws. If they retreated, their people would definitely die.

They had to fight!

The merfolk gathered and began to discuss who to send out to fight.

Huanhuan immediately leaned in front of Bai Di and whispered, “Let me fight them.”

With her current strength, she could definitely sweep through the entire fish tribe!

Before Bai Di could speak, Xue Ling replied, “No!”

Huanhuan was very dissatisfied. “Why?”

“You’re a female. How can a female rush to the front and fight while the male beasts hide?”

Huanhuan glared at him angrily. “What a big ego!”

“I don’t want you to get hurt.”

Huanhuan patted her chest. “I’m very strong. None of them can hurt me!”

Xue Ling glanced at her chest with a complicated expression. “Stop patting your chest. It’s already very flat. If you pat it a few more times, it might cave in.”

Huanhuan: “…”

She rolled up her sleeves and pounced on him!

This guy was asking for a beating!

In the past, Xue Ling would have happily reached out and hugged the little female who pounced into his arms.

However, Huanhuan was tall and strong now. Xue Ling could not carry her. He quickly dodged to the side.

Huanhuan chased after him angrily.

Xue Ling dodged left and right, looking very relaxed.

Although it was a pity that he couldn’t carry Huanhuan, it was still a pleasure to tease her.

As Huanhuan played with Xue Ling, the lake rippled again.

Bai Di whispered, “The leader of the merfolk is out.”

Hearing this, Huanhuan and Xue Ling immediately stopped fooling around and followed his gaze to the lake.

A handsome male mermaid had emerged from the water.

He had very demonic purple eyes, and his facial features were extremely three-dimensional. The ears on either side of his face were light purple translucent fish gills. His short black hair was still dripping. The surface of his well-defined chest was lustrous and watery. Below his abs, two lines extended underwater.

When Huanhuan first saw him, she immediately thought of the legendary sea demons.

They all had a bewitching magic.

Huanhuan took the initiative to ask, “Are you the leader of the merfolk?”

While she was sizing him up, he was obviously sizing her up too.

“I’m the leader of the merfolk, Chen Yuan.”

His voice was pleasant too. It was as ethereal and refreshing as the wind blowing across the sea.

Huanhuan immediately introduced, “My name is Yu Tian. These two are my friends. We came to look for you to return something to you.”

Chen Yuan asked, “What is it?”

Huanhuan took out a round and bulging item that had been wrapped in hide. She peeled away the hide layer by layer, finally revealing the blue shark crystal hidden inside.

She held up the shark crystal. “This is it. The prophet asked me to bring it to you.”

The moment the shark crystal appeared, all the merfolk present widened their eyes and stared at the shark crystal in her hand.

Even Chen Yuan, who had always been calm, could not help but look surprised.

Shark crystals were one of the treasures of the merfolk. They had disappeared many years ago. Chen Yuan thought that all the shark crystals had long been destroyed or hidden by unknown people.

He did not expect one to be in the hands of the prophet.

What surprised him even more was that the prophet had sent it back!
