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
Philip had just reached the entrance of the cave when the water vibration caught their attention. “How many times have we told you that we don't need the hearts of merpeople now?” Hearing this voice, a trace of doubt flashed across Philip's face. According to the princess, the merpeople’s hearts were taken away by humans. However, it seemed that these water snakes had gotten the hearts of merpeople before. Philip did not leave but stood at the mouth of the cave. A huge dark green snake came out of the cave. “A human? You shouldn’t be here.” Although the dark green snake did not take on a human form, it could speak. “Are you saying that humans have been here before?” Philip asked the big dark green snake. Philip’s whole body was shrouded in energy, so his voice could be accurately transmitted. Sound was produced through vibration, but the medium of sound transmission was now water. The big dark green snake stared at Philip with big scarlet eyes and said, “So what?
