The professor walked between the two and wrapped his tentacles around their arms. With the professor's slight movement, the two were separated. “Kiddo, you'd better not leave the professor's room or I’ll definitely tear you to pieces.” The vicious merman glanced at the professor and swam out. His thick fishtail left a puddle of water on the floor. As Philip was ready to fight that vicious merman just now, the communicator’s projection on his arm disappeared. The professor smiled and said to Philip, “Don't mind him. Zagu is like that. He lost his family because of human invasion many years ago.” Human invasion? Philip frowned. That meant that many years ago, human beings had come into contact with the merfolk kingdom. Did that mean that this method of liquefying energy had long been introduced into the human world? However, he had never seen something like that on the market. The octopus professor suddenly said, “Well, let me take you for a walk on my small island,
The vicious merman Zagu had swum to Philip’s side. Hatred flashed in his eyes. Before Philip could speak, he punched Philip. Philip had never fought underwater before, so he could only defend in haste. Unexpectedly, this merman’s underwater fighting ability was beyond Philip's imagination. Underwater, Philip could not accurately judge the weakness of the merman's attack. He felt his body coming to a sudden standstill before having strong friction with the water currents. In the underwater world, it was definitely not a wise choice to go against the underwater undercurrent. However, Philip had no other choice. At this moment, Zagu launched another attack. “I thought the human practitioners were very strong, but it seems that’s all you have. “I’m going to get serious now.” Zagu's actions attracted the attention of many mermen around him. However, most of these mermen had just recently developed their intelligence, so they only had a curiosity about humans. Seeing
The pitchfork in Zagu's hand fell, and a blue halo at the tip of his pitchfork spread into the water. At this moment, Philip made a move. The Caelum Sword blocked the pitchfork's attack, and the blue aura on Philip’s sword transformed into a water dragon that hovered around him. Seeing this scene, all the merpeople were startled. “You can actually control the flow of water?” Zagu was full of disbelief. He never expected that a human like Philip could manipulate the water flow so flexibly. Philip moved again. His movements were simply more nimble than that of Zagu’s. On top of that, the water dragon formed by the Caelum Sword had wrapped around Zagu's body. The power of water had always been overlooked. That was because the water was gentle, and no one knew exactly how terrifying this power could be in the water. It was not a force that humans could contend with. Creak! The water dragon tightened around Zagu. Zagu screamed in pain. Crack! Suddenly, there
Suddenly, a violent tremor spread through the water. Feeling this power, Philip's heart skipped a beat. All the merpeople were shocked. Although Philip had no idea what happened, he noticed a huge water column soaring in the distance. The water quickly became cloudy. It seemed that something was about to emerge from the bottom. The princess noticed something strange behind her too. She turned around, and the blue ball of light in her hand flew toward the muddy area. As the blue ball of light exploded, strong water fluctuations rippled through the underwater world. The ball of water elemental energy condensed and rotated, forming a huge vortex. The vortex cleared away the turbid waters. Philip realized that the thing that emerged from the ground was actually a gigantic turtle. The turtle shell was full of barbs, which were black but full of different colors at the tips. Obviously, those things were poisonous. Philip saw the big turtle opening its jaws and rol
Philip had never used the black turtle shell because it did not seem to have any other function besides being a tough shield. Since the other party was also a turtle, why not try this black turtle shell? With that thought in mind, Philip immediately took out the black turtle shell from his space ring. When the black turtle shell appeared, the water’s surface instantly became calm. Philip held up the black turtle shell, and huge pressure spread to the surroundings. All things in the water revered the black turtle. Although Philip merely held a shell, it was enough to make that strange big turtle submit. The big turtle quickly prostrated. Even the people behind Philip, including the princess, knelt. The big turtle slowly retreated. It left without a trace, but Philip knew that it was the remaining pressure on the black turtle shell that scared the big turtle away. After a long time and seeing no movements from the big turtle, Philip put away the black turtle shell.
“Do you think it's cruel to trade with merfolk’s hearts?” the princess asked. Philip just nodded without speaking. The princess suddenly ripped apart the covering on her chest. A shocking wound was displayed on her chest. “In fact, merpeople have two hearts.” Seeing the princess’s actions, Philip felt a little embarrassed because she was a mermaid, after all. Showing her wound openly in front of him just like that made Philip a little embarrassed. However, she seemed unconcerned. Seeing Philip's expression, she simply said, “We merfolk don’t have as much etiquette as humans, so you don’t have to feel embarrassed. “Showing you my wound is to tell you that most merpeople have lost a heart just to protect our last piece of homeland.” Protect their last piece of homeland? Did that mean that all the merpeople used to have two hearts, but they had to give up one of them for some special reason? “Why did all of you lose a heart?” The princess replied, “The humans discove
There was shock, surprise, anticipation, and hope. Various emotions added to the princess’ expression. “You can actually read the contents of the stone book without using the power of the blood. “According to the historical records of the merfolk kingdom, only the descendant of the mighty being who left behind this stone book and the royal bloodline of the merfolk kingdom can read the content.” Hearing that, Philip immediately frowned. Was that mighty being his mother? Had she ever set foot in this merfolk kingdom? He really had no way or no idea at all how to help the merfolk kingdom make a comeback! Seeing Philip's attitude, the princess immediately prostrated on the floor. “I’m begging you. After so many years of being invaded by other sea creatures, we’ve lost all means to fight. If not for the professor’s ingenuity and wisdom to pull us through the difficult times, we might have lost even the last ray of hope.” Philip wanted to refuse, but at this moment, all the
Philip followed the professor to his laboratory and finally found a moment of peace. The professor deliberately drained all the water in the laboratory so that Philip could feel more comfortable too. Philip smiled and silently accepted the professor’s kindness. He started to study the picture on the iron plate left by the professor. The content of the picture was very clear. Philip could tell at a glance where the underground ruins were, the extension of the ruins, and the mileposts. It was also clearly written on the iron plate the creatures guarding each milepost. This showed that the merfolk kingdom had once tried to invade this place but the result was not ideal. No matter what, Philip wanted to take a look for himself. When Philip was about to go out, he found the princess outside the laboratory door. “I was afraid you were busy, so I didn't want to disturb you. Here are some things from our merfolk kingdom for you to have a taste.” The princess respectfully ha
Ronan was very pleased with the outcome. Nolly glared at Ronan. He never expected that Ronan would be so difficult to deal with. He had done his best but could not do anything to Ronan. He felt that Ronan was just toying with him without using his full strength at all. “It’s very late. Everyone should go back to bed. I know that the deep-sea merfolk is going to take part in the family competition. In that case, let’s settle this on the battleground. We can place a bet or something at that time. What do you think?” Philip suggested, and Nolly thought he had a point. More importantly, Nolly knew that he definitely could not beat Ronan now. In that case, he should stop for now and find a way to deal with Philip later. Therefore, he pretended to consider Philip’s proposal. “You have a point, so I'll agree. In that case, let's meet again on the battlefield. I look forward to seeing your actual strength!” Nolly waved to his men in panic, signaling everyone to leave with him. His
However, the commotion came from outside the door. It felt as if someone was trying to raze his house to the ground. When he was about to go out for a look, Sadie, the jinx, ran up to him. Seeing her, Cameron felt a bad premonition, and his heart skipped a beat. “Patriarch, the deep-sea merfolk are here, fighting with Philip and Ronan. What should we do? I saw Ronan fighting with them just now, and the battle is very intense. Ronan doesn’t care about us at all. How could he fight in the manor? He’s simply outrageous!” Sadie added fuel to the fire. Cameron thought Philip was fighting, but it turned out to be Ronan. He was a little disappointed. “It’s Ronan?” He rushed out in a panic, afraid that something might happen to Ronan. It would be fine if it was just a simple fight, but they would be in trouble if Ronan was hurt and unable to participate in the competition! Cameron had done so much. He would not allow anything to ruin his plan. Thinking of this, he was very angry. “
Nolly looked at Ronan in puzzlement, wondering if he was right in the head. Nolly was here to kill them, not to reminisce about the past. Why was this guy so affectionate? “What are you doing? Do you think I won't kill you? You’re hanging out with that murderer, which tells me that you’re not a good person either. I won’t let you off!” Nolly scorned, full of killing intent. “Oh!” Ronan hummed obediently, catching Philip off-guard. Philip started coughing. Ronan was quite a handful. “Since they're here, I’ll leave it to you. Make it quick.” Anyway, Philip had set up a barrier. No one would notice even if a big fight broke out, so they had nothing to worry about. Philip would not have bothered to set up a barrier if he had not been afraid of destroying the surroundings. “Of course, my barrier will only protect your mother's territory. I can’t guarantee that other places won’t be destroyed if you take them a little farther away.” Philip’s seemingly innocent reminder stoked R
“Go through that passage and try not to alert anyone. Just get rid of him quietly!” Nolly nodded. Since Sadie was giving him this convenience, he would not make things difficult. He led his people to the house. After getting Philip’s exact location, he just had to go there. Ronan was drinking when he felt that something was wrong. “Philip, I have a feeling that someone is coming for us and wants to kill us! That killing intent is very strong!” Ronan looked around warily. Since drinking Philip’s wine, Ronan’s strength had increased significantly. Philip and Rabbit remained calm as if they had already expected this. “Don’t worry about some troublemakers. I believe they’ll be here soon,” Philip said calmly. He swaggered into the garden and finally decided not to destroy this place after looking at the surroundings. After all, this was where Ronan’s mother used to live, a place of memorial significance for Ronan. He would probably feel bad if this place was destroyed. “I’ll
“We’re here to find the murderer who killed our clansmen. It’ll be great if you can hand him over without a fuss, and our ongoing cooperation will definitely become better, but it’ll be difficult if you’re unwilling to cooperate.” Nolly frowned as a warning to Sadie. Sadie was puzzled, wondering what murderer the other party was talking about. As far as Sadie knew, the family members had not been involved in any mess recently. “I don’t think our family members have done anything recently.” Sadie did not invite the deep-sea merfolk into the house. She might get into trouble with the family if she let them in for no reason, and she could forget about living a good life again. “I'm looking for a rabbit and its owner. They said they’re staying at your place and we’re welcome to mess with them at any time. Are you going back on your word now? Since they’re staying here, they must have a close relationship with you. It’ll be interesting if you’re trying to protect them.” Nolly was fu
Although these creatures lived an easier life than humans, their reproduction ability was not as good as humans', and their thinking was not as meticulous as humans', so they could be easily deceived. That was the reason why only certain humanoids would choose to live in human cities. Other races were too simple and kind to deal with humans, who would always deceive them at every turn. The deep-sea merfolk would never set foot in a human city because they knew that humans were powerful and liked to trade with them. Humans yearned for products from the sea, but they could not enter the depths of the sea, so they were forced to trade with them. The deep-sea merfolk were smart enough to realize this, so they set a high price for their products. Relatively speaking, they took advantage of the humans. After all, humans had no other channels to get such things, but the deep-sea merfolk had the unique advantage of monopolizing the market, so they could set the price at will. That
At this time, Rabbit hopped up to those ugly creatures. “Are you looking for me?” Rabbit wiggled his tail in smug disdain. After sizing Rabbit up, the deep-sea merfolk were surprised to discover that this was the person they were looking for. “Yes, I can sense the tracker on him!” “I can’t believe that the culprit is a damned rabbit!” They rushed over fiercely to kill Rabbit. However, Rabbit was so nimble that they were powerless against him. “You!” They glared daggers at Rabbit, furious over the fact that they could see him but could not reach him. They wanted to catch this rabbit and give it a good beating to teach it a lesson instead of letting it go scot-free. “No, the tracker on this rabbit is very weak. It should be someone else. I think this rabbit is just the other party's pet!” one of them exclaimed in horror. At the thought that someone else was lurking behind the scenes, they thought this was a huge conspiracy and they had to watch out. Rabbit looked at t
“Why do I have a feeling that you’re up to no good? Tell me what happened.” Rabbit would usually behave so smugly after doing something he was proud of, which was what made Philip question him. Rabbit laughed complacently. Philip knew him so well. “I did something good this time! The small families didn’t know anything about storage space, and those nasty people working at the registration counter didn’t show them any respect either! They tried to chase me away when I registered for the competition earlier because they thought I was a pushover. I beat them up and registered on behalf of the small families too!” Philip shook his head helplessly. Sure enough, Rabbit was always up to no good. He even sought justice for others this time. “Just don’t cause trouble and I’ll turn a blind eye.” Philip was not afraid that Rabbit would mess with some powerful enemies; he just didn't want trouble to come knocking. “By the way, Philip, I saw a race called the deep-sea merfolk in the
The patriarch of the Lamy family scowled upon hearing Ronan’s remark. Before he could respond, Ronan added, “Your strength is too low to handle the effects of this wine. You might die of self-combustion. I'm doing this for your own good. “Do you think such a good wine has no medicinal effects? That’s impossible. The energy contained in it is beyond your imagination. You need to reach a certain level to drink this wine. Philip has better wine on hand, but even I don’t have the right to drink it. Do you think it's because my relationship with Philip isn’t good enough?” Ronan was not a person to claim credit for himself. He knew that Philip had given him everything, so he should treat Philip better. Ronan gave Philip all the credit. Everyone stared at Philip and Ronan, amazed by such a good treasure. As a family that specialized in wine-making, the Wagner family had a good understanding of this topic, so they could say a few words about it. “He's right. The stronger the wine, th
