Chapter 278
Caught off guard, Viking suffered a devastating blow, feeling as if his internal organs were about to shatter. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale as a sheet.
Lan Bo remained unmoved, sitting on the throne high above, looking down at Viking.
“Ant, what do you want to tell this seat? It’s best to speak quickly. If you waste my time, this seat has no patience for you.”
After speaking, Lan Bo looked at the patterns on the throne with boredom, a casual expression on his face. He didn’t think this ordinary ant could say anything useful.
This ant actually disturbed his sleep. How should he punish him later?
Drain all his blood and feed it to the bats?
Or just lock him in a cage and let him fight to the death?
Upon hearing these words, Viking’s fear of death reached its peak. He scrambled to his feet in a panic and spoke at the fastest speed of his life:
“Your Majesty, it’s like this. Recently, a few humans have come to the Western Wasteland. Their cultivation is very high. If Your Majesty can eat them, it will definitely be very nourishing.”
“Oh?”
Lan Bo raised his eyebrows with interest. He didn’t expect this ordinary mermaid youth could actually say something useful.
He had recently grown tired of eating those useless beasts, but the Western Wasteland was full of spirit beasts, and humans were rarely encountered. The last time he ate a human was hundreds of years ago.
Now that there was such a delicacy, he naturally didn’t want to miss it.
Thinking of this, Lan Bo asked with a smile, “Where are the humans you mentioned? Tell me, and what reward do you want?”
“They are currently within our Mermaid Clan. That human didn’t come alone. He is accompanied by many cultivators with high cultivation levels. It seems they have come here with a purpose.”
Viking’s mind was no longer functioning properly. He blurted out everything he wanted to say in one go.
“They even occupied our Mermaid Clan’s High Priestess. It’s simply inhumane, what they’ve done is utterly atrocious!”
By the end, Viking’s voice was filled with righteous indignation.
They were both from the Mermaid Clan, so the High Priestess should marry someone from the Mermaid Clan. Why should a human snatch her away?
Hearing this, Lan Bo couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
You see, the Mermaid Clan had a highly respected elder whose cultivation level had tempted him for a long time.
However, it seemed the Mermaid Clan had sensed his intentions and hidden themselves. Moreover, they had the Universe Pearl and a fishy smell, so Lan Bo hadn’t had the time to look for them.
Now, it seemed it was effortless.
He could take this opportunity to eliminate both the Mermaid Clan and those humans.
Thinking of this, Lan Bo was in a great mood. Even the ant in front of him seemed a bit more pleasing to the eye.
“In that case, lead the way and take this seat there. Kill that human, and this seat will naturally reward you handsomely.”
Lan Bo said casually.
He still needed this mermaid to lead the way. Once they arrived, he would kill him directly, leaving no witnesses.
“Now? But there are still a few days until the Night of the Blood Moon…”
Viking was thrilled upon hearing this, feeling that the human was about to die in the next second.
But he was also a bit curious as to why Lan Bo was so impatient. Moreover, it wasn’t the Night of the Blood Moon yet. Could Lan Bo defeat those humans?
Lan Bo was already impatient when he heard his words.
Although it wasn’t the fixed Night of the Blood Moon, he could forcefully alter time, but his cultivation would be slightly weakened.
However, his cultivation was unparalleled in the entire Tianxuan Continent. If it weren’t for his master’s orders to stay in the Western Wasteland, he wouldn’t have to find ways to eat these savage spirit beasts every day.
“You don’t have to worry about that. Just lead the way.”
Lan Bo said coldly.
He waved his hand, and a blood moon suddenly appeared in the originally dark sky.
The moon emitted an ominous, blood-red light, looking exceptionally sinister.
✿✿✿
At the same time, the entire sky rapidly darkened, leaving only blood-red thunderclouds.
The spirit beasts throughout the Western Wasteland were terrified when they saw this celestial phenomenon. They immediately prepared to flee.
“It’s the Night of the Blood Moon! That great demon is here.”
“Run!”
“Isn’t there still seven days until the Night of the Blood Moon? Why has it arrived now?”
All the spirit beasts in the Western Wasteland were in a state of panic.
At this moment, Su Chen and Natasha were finally nearing the end of their several-day endeavor.
Natasha belatedly realized that Su Chen was actually the legendary Yin Flame Yang Sun Holy Body!
This not only had a multiplier effect on the transformation of the Universe Pearl, but their union also greatly enhanced her cultivation.
Seeing that Natasha was still unsatisfied and wanted to go a few more rounds, even though she was already exhausted like a dried fish, she clung to Su Chen and wouldn’t let go.
Su Chen’s keen intuition sensed some changes outside. Whether it was true or not, their current environment didn’t allow them to continue indulging any longer.
“Natasha, check your current cultivation level. How is the Universe Pearl within your body?”
Su Chen said seriously.
When it came to serious matters, Natasha could only temporarily suppress her desires. After checking, she was astonished. After several days of dual cultivation, her cultivation had directly advanced to the peak of the Greater Saint Realm!
Not only that, but she could also utilize the spiritual power of the Universe Pearl. Although she couldn’t fully transform it, it was equivalent to her natal magical artifact.
Natasha excitedly told Su Chen all of this, her eyes sparkling.
She was no longer a burden to them. Moreover, she could now help Master!
Upon hearing this, Su Chen couldn’t help but stroke Natasha’s head.
“The Universe Pearl’s vast spiritual power cannot be fully transformed in a short period. It has now become your natal spirit artifact, at your command. You will become more and more proficient in using it in the future.”
Su Chen grinned.
Natasha nodded earnestly.
At this moment, a knock suddenly came from the door.
“Master, it’s not good! The Night of the Blood Moon has arrived!”
Green Vine’s voice came from outside the door.
Su Chen’s pupils constricted. How could this be?
There were still several days until the Night of the Blood Moon.
The two quickly tidied their clothes and went out.
Entering the Mermaid Clan’s main hall, almost all the clan members were gathered there. Clan Leader Ao Weide had a serious expression, his face tense.
Seeing Su Chen arrive, he slowly said, “Are there any other mermaids who haven’t arrived yet?”
Hearing this, the mermaids present looked at each other. Suddenly, someone said, “Clan Leader, Viking, Viking is missing!”
As soon as he said this, others chimed in.
“That’s right, that’s right. We haven’t seen him for days.”
“What should we do now? It’s the Night of the Blood Moon. We can’t go out and look for him!”
