Chapter 42 The Sea Princess: Quickly Join Godzilla's Faction!
As night gradually fell, the Starry Sky Forest appeared even more secluded in the darkness.
The sea princess gently parted the weeds in the clearing and used her slender yet strong hands to build a simple fire.
Her movements were practiced; she held a few dry leaves in her hand and carefully laid them under the twig. Then she took out a flint from her storage ring, gently struck it, and sparks flew everywhere.
Each time the firelight flickered, her deep blue eyes appeared even more profound in the night.
The faint sparks finally ignited the hay, and the sea princess smiled slightly, gently blowing on the tiny flame.
The firelight gradually spread, dispelling a corner of the surrounding darkness.
She turned to the side and took out a few pieces of dry food from the cloth bag beside her, intending to rest for a while after the fire was lit and prepare dinner for herself and Bibi Dong.
Bathed in the dim firelight, her blue hair seemed to blend into the night sky, mysterious and elegant.
With Xiao Wu deliberately concealing her aura, the Sea Princess assumed she was just an ordinary soul beast and ignored her.
He didn't even notice that a pair of wary pink eyes were staring at him intently.
Xiao Wu lowered her body slightly, took a deep breath, and suppressed the tension in her heart: "Er Ming, remember, act quickly, don't give her time to react!"
Erming nodded slightly after hearing the instruction, and his thick arm swung gently.
His massive body was hidden in the shadows of the trees, his muscles taut, ready to go.
"Remember, once you grab her, run back immediately!"
Xiao Wu whispered a reminder and patted Er Ming's head.
Her tone was urgent, "Bibi Dong is absorbing a spirit ring; this is our best opportunity! Quickly, we must act fast!"
Erming let out a low roar, stomped his foot, and his massive body suddenly began to move under the cover of night.
He suddenly leaped up, and with a deafening roar, he descended like a small mountain from the sky.
The ground trembled violently from his power, leaves fell from the trees, and birds and beasts scattered in terror.
The sliver of fire that had just risen in the Sea Princess's hand was extinguished by the shock, and she felt a dark shadow intrude into her mental realm.
A huge black shadow then enveloped her.
Erming's giant hand slammed down, lifting up a section of the open ground where she was standing, grabbing her and the ground together in his hand.
"What is that—" The Sea Princess was shocked. She was about to gather her soul power to resist, but Er Ming's movements were as fast as lightning, giving her no time to react.
With a loud bang, a violent sound wave erupted in the air. The Sea Princess was already tightly gripped by Erming, and the powerful force held her firmly in place.
"Damn it! We've been ambushed! Wait—that aura…"
Princess Hai felt a chill run down her spine. How could it be a 100,000-year-old soul beast?
She couldn't help but feel suspicious, so she abandoned her resistance and decided to see what the other party was going to do.
The next second, Erming turned around and charged forward, his footsteps like thunder, rushing towards the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Under the moonlight, the giant ape leaped a thousand meters through the forest at an astonishing speed, leaving behind only a blurry black shadow and a mess.
The roar reached Bibi Dong's ears, and she suddenly opened her eyes as she was absorbing the spirit ring.
Her gaze sharpened, and through the gaps in the dense forest, she could vaguely see a huge black shadow leading the sea princess away.
Her expression changed drastically, and a strong sense of unease welled up inside her.
"Sea Princess!" she whispered, but the other person had already been taken out of sight.
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth, a surge of anxiety rising within her.
The Sea Princess has a cultivation level of 600,000 years, how could she be kidnapped so easily?
What exactly was that dark figure that could subdue the Sea Princess in an instant?
She tried to get up, but was overwhelmed by the surging soul power within her body, causing her excruciating pain.
The absorption of the eighth spirit ring has reached a critical moment.
If the effort is interrupted at this point, not only will all previous efforts be wasted, but the soul ring may also backfire, resulting in severe damage to cultivation or even death due to a chaotic soul power.
"Damn it!" Bibi Dong cursed under her breath, her eyes filled with helplessness and anger.
As the Pope of the Spirit Hall, when had she ever encountered such a helpless situation?
"Princess Sea...please don't let anything happen to you."
Bibi Dong took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
She closed her eyes, suppressing all her anxiety, and focused all her energy on absorbing the spirit ring.
Only by completing it as soon as possible can we buy time to catch up with the Sea Princess.
The flow of soul power became increasingly rapid, and the surrounding aura began to fluctuate violently.
Bibi Dong's hands trembled slightly, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
The night wind howled as a huge black shadow darted through the Starry Sky Forest at a speed that was almost impossible to catch.
Erming's legs stomped on the ground like giant hammers, each step causing the earth to shake violently.
The sea princess was firmly held in his hand, and despite her shock and anger, she did not act rashly.
She could clearly sense that the aura emanating from this giant ape was not unfamiliar—it was a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
"Who exactly are you?" the sea princess asked coldly.
"Don't be afraid, we're not the enemy!" a clear voice came from above. "You'll understand soon enough!"
Erming took huge strides and finally stopped beside a quiet lake.
The latest novel is first published here!
Xiao Wu leaped down from the giant ape's head, landing lightly on the ground. She patted Er Ming's leg, signaling him to put the Sea Princess down.
"Sea Princess, we've arrived at my home!"
Xiao Wu looked up at the woman in the azure robes and said in a comforting tone, "You don't need to be afraid anymore. That human soul master can no longer threaten you."
Erming carefully opened his palm and placed the sea princess on the ground.
He stepped back slightly, as if afraid of startling the guest in front of him.
The sea princess stood firmly, her gaze quickly sweeping over the surrounding environment.
The sight before her made her pause slightly.
The moonlight spilled onto the lake, creating shimmering waves that resembled countless jewels scattered across the land.
The surrounding forest was dense and tranquil.
"Where is this?" the sea princess couldn't help but ask in a low voice, her tone revealing a hint of amazement.
"This is our home, the Lake of Life."
Xiao Wu jumped in front of the Sea Princess, a hint of pride in her red eyes. "Here are Mom, Daming, Erming, and me—Sister Xiao Wu! Don't worry, no human will hurt you anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, ripples suddenly appeared on the lake, and a huge figure slowly rose from the water.
It was a huge soul beast with the head of an ox and the body of a snake. Two sharp horns on its head gleamed with a cold light, and its blue-green scales shone like jewels in the moonlight.
He was enormous and imposing, his calm yet sharp eyes fixed on the sea princess.
"Da Ming!" Xiao Wu waved and called out, "We rescued a friend."
The Azure Bull Python nodded slightly, its deep voice booming like a bell: "Sister Xiao Wu, have we had guests?"
The sea princess was stunned by the sight before her.
Her gaze swept back and forth between the Azure Bull Python, the Titan Ape, and the pink-furred rabbit, her heart filled with doubt.
These four spirit beasts, each possessing terrifying power, actually live together in harmony.
"Hurt me?" The sea princess chuckled softly, a hint of helplessness in her eyes. "What are you talking about, little one?"
Xiao Wu was taken aback, her eyes filled with confusion: "Weren't you coerced by that human soul master named Bibi Dong to hunt soul rings for her?"
The sea princess shook her head, a wry smile on her face: "I was acting on the orders of the Beast God, not under duress."
"The Beast God?" Xiao Wu frowned even more, clearly unable to understand. "How could the Beast God allow soul beasts to help humans hunt for soul rings?"
The sea princess did not explain immediately, but simply raised her head and looked at the several soul beasts in front of her.
She was already plotting how to bring these powerful soul beasts before the Sea God.
