Chapter 1790: Chapter 1786 Found It
“What’s going on?” Shen Luo looked at the young boy and child ahead, then turned to ask Zhu Mang Qi.
Zhu Mang Qi was rubbing his waist, still shaken by the fluid and effortless sword technique Shen Luo had just demonstrated, and hadn’t recovered yet. Upon hearing the question, he shook his head in confusion, indicating that he didn’t know either.
Just as Shen Luo turned back, he saw the short-haired boy move, intending to initiate an attack.
“Hey, don’t rush to attack, are you people of the Water Filant Clan?” Shen Luo hurriedly extended his hand and shouted to stop him.
“Where did you take our clan mbers?” Soon, the voice of the short-haired boy ca over.
“Your clan mbers… could it be…”
Shen Luo was about to speak, but quickly realized that it was most likely the South Sea Dragon Palace again.
“Did monks from the South Sea Dragon Palace take your clan mbers away?” Shen Luo asked.
Upon hearing this, the short-haired boy stopped, while the child from the Water Filant Clan timidly peeked out from behind him to observe Shen Luo.
“I’m not with them, don’t misunderstand.” Shen Luo collected all his flying swords and said reassuringly.
The short-haired boy, transford from the eight-legged sea monster, remained cautious, while the Water Filant Clan child floated out from behind him and asked Shen Luo, “Do you know where they took our clan mbers?”
“Why did they take your clan mbers?” Shen Luo shook his head and asked back.
This ti it was the Water Filant Clan child’s turn to shake his head; he also didn’t know why those people suddenly invaded his ho and took his family.
He happened to be playing with the eight-legged sea monster and was not in the clan, narrowly escaping the calamity.
“It probably has sothing to do with the secret treasure under the Yan Sui Fire Vein. People of the Water Filant Clan thrive in water and endure fire, so it likely relates to them crossing the Yan Sui Fire Vein to retrieve the treasure.” Zhu Mang Qi walked over to Shen Luo, glanced at the Water Filant Clan child, and said.
“Is it for the Water Fire Pills?” Shen Luo asked.
“Probably not. The Water Filant Clan only has one Water Fire Pill discharge period per year, and each ti only one pill is produced. Even if they were taken captive temporarily, they wouldn’t be able to produce the Water Fire Pills imdiately.” Zhu Mang Qi shook his head.
Upon hearing this, Shen Luo pondered thoughtfully.
“Who exactly are you?” The eight-legged sea monster asked.
“We are pearl gatherers, searching for the Water Fire Pills.” Zhu Mang Qi replied.
Upon hearing this, the eight-legged sea monster’s expression darkened again. Knowing he wasn’t a match for Shen Luo, he didn’t attack but instead took a defensive stance, quietly shielding the Water Filant Clan child behind him again.
“You don’t need to be nervous; we an no harm and are definitely not allied with the Dragon Palace. I can try to help you find your clan mbers.” Shen Luo laughed and explained.
Upon hearing this, the Water Filant Clan child’s clean eyes sparkled with excitent and he prepared to move forward.
The eight-legged sea monster quickly stopped him, shaking his head, indicating that humans shouldn’t be trusted.
But upon learning that Shen Luo could help find his family, the Water Filant Clan child couldn’t care about anything else, taking out a pile of round pearls from his pouch, which fell straight to the ground with a clatter.
Zhu Mang Qi was taken aback by the sight; the quantity of Water Fire Pills the child took out and dropped on the ground was already a hundred or so.
Seeing this, Shen Luo remained calm, stepping forward, bending down, and picking up the scattered Water Fire Pills one by one, stopping at the twentieth pill.
He raised the Water Fire Pills in his hand and said to the Water Filant Clan child, “These will be the deposit. I will help you find your clan mbers, but if successful, you’ll have to give eighty more as a reward.”
Upon hearing this, Zhu Mang Qi wanted to say sothing but was stopped by Shen Luo’s gesture.
The Water Filant Clan child stared at this scene, looking puzzled and uncertain.
Shen Luo didn’t say anything further, turned around, and left with Zhu Mang Qi.
The two gradually ascended from the seabed, and Zhu Mang Qi’s voice resonated in Shen Luo’s Sea of Knowledge, “Brother Shen, what are you thinking? We could have gotten enough Water Fire Pills just now, why step into this ss?”
“There’s no choice; so things are just intolerable! Besides, I still have so scores to settle with the old Dragon King of the South Sea.” Shen Luo said.
Back then, regarding the Dragon Palace incident, the Three Sea Dragon Kings betrayed and frad the Eastern Sea, causing the old Dragon King’s death and Ao Hong almost being trapped. Shen Luo, as a friend involved, harbored resentnt naturally.
Moreover, the Dragon Kings of the South Sea, West Sea, and North Sea are highly likely to have fallen into Demonic Path, and their behavior is odd. Shen Luo wouldn’t be at ease without thoroughly investigating.
“You, guy, are becoming harder to understand.” Zhu Mang Qi said slowly.
He was now convinced that Shen Luo was at least a True Immortal Stage monk but still didn’t believe he had the capability to confront the South Sea Dragon Palace.
“Don’t worry, when we return, I’ll think of a way to stay; you take the reward and leave, and don’t let yourself get dragged too deeply into this.” Shen Luo reassured with a smile.
“What nonsense are you talking about, without helping you explain your identity, you’ll be exposed within no ti.” Zhu Mang Qi said subconsciously.
Just when he finished speaking, he regretted it, not because he boarded a pirate ship willingly but because he recalled Shen Luo was a genuine True Immortal predecessor, feeling sowhat embarrassed.
Shen Luo didn’t mind, and the two quickly ascended, returning to the cave.
The other pearl gatherers had already returned, with what they found being negligible, and were being scolded harshly by Ao Zhan. The twenty-seven Water Fire Pills needed were only five.
“I’ll give you two more hours. If you still can’t gather enough Water Fire Pills, you’ll all die.” Ao Zhan said angrily.
Everyone’s words made them tremble with fear, each heart sinking into despair.
They had exhausted themselves diving for pearls, yet had no rewards, and risked losing their lives, naturally feeling both angry and scared at heart.
At this mont, Shen Luo added the three Water Fire Pills he’d bought earlier from Bao Zhai Hall into his palm, just as he was about to speak, Zhu Mang Qi swiftly grabbed them.
“Crown Prince, we found them, we found Water Fire Pills.” Zhu Mang Qi’s voice ca from the back of the crowd, and everyone turned their heads upon hearing to look at him.
“How many?” Ao Zhan also cast a scrutinizing glance at him, asking.
“Twenty… twenty-three pills.” Zhu Mang Qi recounted the Water Fire Pills in his hand and shouted loudly.
The crowd gasped in disbelief, and even Ao Zhan couldn’t help but change expressions, striding quickly towards him.
The crowd imdiately opened a path, allowing Ao Zhan to reach Zhu Mang Qi.
Zhu Mang Qi opened his palm, and the twenty-three Water Fire Pills lay on top of each other in his palm, shining brightly.
“They’re really Water Fire Pills!”
“So many!”
“It’s truly worthy of Zhu Mang Qi!”
The pearl gatherers couldn’t care about Ao Zhan being present and exclaid in shock.
