Chapter 279

Xu Qi 'an waved his hand, and the corpse of the female mermaid, which was floating in the frothing blue waves, floated in the air and hovered in front of them.

"There are no obvious teeth marks. The culprit must have been huge. He bit it off with one bite …"

Xu Qi 'an examined the wound on the mermaid's waist and made a judgment.

"He must have encountered a large predator."

Nine-tailed Celestial Fox waited for him to finish before she calmly took over the topic.

"As far as I know, there are no large predators in this area. If this mermaid wasn't the Mermaid Queen's personal guard but an ordinary mermaid, he might have encountered a predator that accidentally entered the mermaid territory.

"As for now, something must have happened to the mermaid island. The Queen's personal guard would never leave the Mermaid Queen's side. "

Xu Qi'an nodded.

"So, a personal guard encountering a predator is equivalent to the Queen encountering a predator. The Mermaid Queen is a Transcendent, but her personal guard was still killed … "

The conclusion was self-evident — the enemy was also a Transcendent.

"There are so many Transcendent experts overseas? I ran into two the moment I set sail? "Xu Qi'an was surprised.

A place like the mermaid island was similar to a small organization formed by the descendants of gods and demons. It was understandable that there would be Transcendent experts. Another example was Silkworm Island where the Nether Silkworm resided.

However, it was still a little exaggerated to run into a Transcendent so easily.

The silver-haired demoness pouted.

"The last time I set sail, other than the experts in their fixed habitats, I didn't run into any Transcendent gods and demons."

In other words, the probability of this happening was very low.

Perhaps the mermaids had provoked some powerful enemy, or some descendants of gods and demons from other places had wandered here.

Xu Qi'an continued observing the corpse. Suddenly, he frowned.

"Maybe we're the ones in trouble!"

Nine-tailed Celestial Fox looked at him and hummed with a puzzled tone.

"This mermaid's corpse has been in the water for more than twenty hours, but the mermaids didn't find the body of their comrade. There are no signs of it being eaten by the fishes and prawns in the sea either." Xu Qi'an smiled.

"What does that mean?"

The silver-haired demoness was extremely intelligent. She immediately understood what was going on.

She frowned and said,

"That powerful predator is still swimming in the nearby waters!"

That was why the mermaids didn't dare to leave the island. The nearby creatures were either eaten or scared away, so the corpse was well-preserved and not eaten by the fishes and prawns in the sea.

The waves rippled, and the ship maintained a constant speed, rising and falling with the waves.

For the rest of the journey, Xu Qi 'an and the nine-tailed celestial fox silently waited for something.

The sun was shining brightly, the sky was blue, and the salty sea breeze blew his hair and clothes. Suddenly, Xu Qi 'an's ears twitched. He heard an undercurrent suddenly surging at the bottom of the sea, and a huge monster was swimming in the water.

At the same time, a warrior's danger premonition started to sound.

Xu Qi 'an glanced at the silver-haired demoness. The vixen walked to the side of the ship, her long legs slender and powerful.

With a slight twist of her waist, a furry fox tail suddenly rose up and pierced into the sea.

With a slight twist of her waist, a furry fox tail suddenly rose and pierced into the sea.

Xu Qi 'an listened carefully. His ears were filled with the sound of crashing waves. The undercurrent under the sea suddenly became many times stronger.

Entangled … he muttered to himself.

At this moment, Nine-Tailed Fox, who was beside him, tensed her taut and long legs. Her knees sank slightly, and the eight tails behind her straightened in an instant.

With a twist and pull of her waist, she was like a fisherman exerting strength.

The next moment, the surface of the sea swelled and water splashed.

"Splash!"

White foam and waves sprayed dozens of feet high. In the "heavy rain", a huge shadow leaped out of the sea, reflected in the eyes of Xu Qi'an and the Nine-tailed Fox.

It was a Flood Dragon. Its entire body was covered in pitch-black scales. Its head was hideous, and there was a row of bone spurs on its back. There was also a spear-like horn on its forehead.

Different from ordinary dragons, its limbs were extremely thick and strong, and there were thick webs between its claws.

Overall, it looked more like a lizard.

In addition, its body was covered in twisted, disordered patterns. One look at it would make people dizzy and nauseous.

He seemed to be at the middle stage of the third rank. His Qi and blood were dense and he was very strong … Xu Qi 'an estimated the other party's cultivation with just a glance.

It was not because he had sharp eyes, but because the dragon did not restrain its aura, showing off its ferocious aura.

His eyes were scarlet red and filled with ruthlessness. He didn't have enough rationality.

The flood dragon's body was entangled by the furry fox tail. Seeing that it was unable to break free from the fox tail, it let out a deep roar and actually rammed its head over.

"Hmph!"

The silver-haired demoness's beautiful red lips curled up, and the eight tails behind her, ready to strike, shot out like iron chains and hooked onto the flood dragon's neck, limbs, tail, and waist.

"Pfft, pfft …"

Amidst the terrifying sound of flesh and blood being separated, the dragon's body was separated inch by inch, and scarlet blood splattered everywhere.

Before the blood splattered onto the sea, Xu Qi'an collected it and condensed it in his palm.

The dragon that had been separated into pieces did not die. The flesh and blood wriggled, trying to regenerate.

But it failed. Nine-tailed Fox was well-versed in dealing with the descendant of a Third Rank Divine Demon (Warrior), and that was to slice it into pieces. The more pieces, the better.

Then, it would control the severed limbs to prevent them from coming together.

In this way, although a Transcendent would not die immediately due to its strong vitality, the life force of the severed limbs was not enough to regenerate a new body.

Just like now, each section of the dragon's body was trying to "regenerate", but their Blood Essence was limited, and they could not grow into a new body.

"There seems to be a problem with its intelligence. I can't communicate with it …"

Nine-tailed Fox examined the dragon for a moment and made a judgment.

"What could cause a Transcendent Flood Dragon to have a problem with its intelligence?"

As Xu Qi'an spoke, he flicked his finger.

With a "puff", the dragon's skull was lifted off, and bone fragments and brain tissue splattered everywhere.

At the same time, an illusory dragon separated from its body. This was its Primordial Spirit.

The dragon's Primordial Spirit was intact, but its violence and ferocity did not improve because of the damage to its body. After circling in the air, it swooped down towards the two people at the bow of the ship.

Xu Qi 'an had completely lost his mind … If that was the case, he would not be able to get any useful information even if he used the "Soul Questioning" technique of Taoist magic arts. Oh, I forgot, I'm just a crude warrior, I don't know any Taoist magic arts … Xu Qi' an opened his mouth and inhaled deeply.

Like a giant mouth of an abyss, it sucked the dragon's Primordial Spirit into its mouth.

At the back of Xu Qi'an's neck, the Seven Absolutes Gu protruded from the skin, revealing a clear outline. Its head wriggled slightly, as if it was chewing something.

After a while, Xu Qi'an said:

"Put it back together."

Nine-tailed Celestial Fox released the shackles and put the severed body and limbs together. They wriggled on their own and quickly returned to a fierce and powerful dragon.

The dragon floated quietly in the air, motionless.

Xu Qi'an opened its mouth and spat out the dragon soul. The dragon soul was no longer as fierce as before, but its expression was dull, and its body became increasingly illusory. Its head was no longer a ferocious dragon head, but a triangular insect head.

Its consciousness was erased, and the Heavenly Soul of the three souls was also devoured by the Seven Absolutes Gu.

This was the ability of the "Corpse Gu" after stepping into the Transcendent realm. It could devour a part of the soul of a puppet and fuse the remaining remnant soul with the Gu Child.

In other words, the dragon soul was the Gu Child.

The dragon soul returned to the dragon's body, and its eyes regained some intelligence, but compared to a normal living being, it was still dull.

Nine-tailed Celestial Fox saw this and retracted its tail, letting the dragon fall into the water.

The Flood Dragon obediently swam around the ship like a loyal guard.

"Tsk tsk, the Gu technique is really useful! I subdued a Transcendent realm Godfiend descendant just like that. "

Nine-tailed Celestial Fox's words were full of envy.

"Hmm, although it's mosquito meat, the third-grade life essence is also a great supplement for me. If I can't hunt second-grade or first-grade Godfiend descendants on this trip, it's not a bad idea to collect some third-grade ones. It's better than returning empty-handed …" Xu Qi'an was quite satisfied.

He felt more at ease when he had something.

Nine-tailed Celestial Fox took the opportunity to reap the benefits and said coquettishly,

"Xu Yinluo, everyone who sees it has a share!"

At this moment, the dragon's head popped out of the sea and spoke in human language.

"Are you kidding me, Sir? Why do you keep such a bitchy woman by your side? After sleeping with her, you can kick her into the sea. Bunk boy!"

The silver-haired demoness glared at Xu Qi'an with a gloomy face.

"What does its words have to do with me …" Xu Qi'an smiled.

Ignoring the vixen's displeasure, Xu Qi 'an focused on sensing the Flood Dragon's talent. He frowned, opened his eyes, and said in surprise,

"There's something wrong with this dragon!"

The silver-haired demoness sneered.

"Is there something wrong with it, or is there something wrong with you?"

Xu Qi'an wasn't joking. The dragon's talent was extremely chaotic. There were water, fire, lightning, earth, and other elemental skills. In addition, there were other messy skills.

There was clearly something wrong with it.

As he stopped the boat, he informed Nine-tailed Celestial Fox of his findings.

The silver-haired demoness frowned and said,

"Impossible!"

She seemed to have thought of something. Her two fox tails popped out of the water and "grabbed" the dragon in the surging waves. It floated in the air.

"The demon race's talent is usually condensed in the Inner Core. For Godfiend descendants, it depends on the thinness of their bloodline. Those with high purity will be branded on their flesh and skin. Those with thin bloodlines will be branded in the Inner Core. "

Nine-tailed Celestial Fox said.

Xu Qi'an said,

"The patterns on this flood dragon's body must be its innate divine ability."

The silver-haired demoness nodded and said, "I think I know the reason... These patterns will confuse the Essence Soul, so I didn't observe them carefully. Look, they are messed up."

"I think I know the reason … These patterns will confuse the primordial spirit, so I didn't pay much attention to them. Look, they are messed up."

Nine-tailed Celestial Fox continued.

"Not only that, the talent represented by these patterns are all different.

"Not only that, but the Innate Divine Abilities represented by these patterns are all different. It is like the amalgamation of the incomplete talent. "I think this is why your perception of the talent is messed up."

Xu Qi'an pondered for a moment. He stared at the demoness's beautiful face and said,

Xu Qi 'an was silent for a moment. He stared at the beautiful face of the Enchantress and said,

Ask a professional for professional questions.

"How would I know?"

She rolled her eyes coquettishly. Then, her expression turned solemn.

She rolled her eyes coquettishly, then her expression turned solemn.

"Innate divine abilities are present at birth and exist in the bloodline. Some are single elemental, some are dual elemental, but it's impossible for such a situation to exist. Just the fact that his innate divine ability is incomplete is enough to explain the problem.

Xu Qian deliberated and said,

"It fell into a frenzy and lost its mind. Could it be related to the strange patterns on its body? It's precisely because of these messy divine abilities that I've gone crazy. "

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox grunted, "I have the same suspicion, but it has lost its mind. We have no way of knowing where it has been and what it has encountered."

Nine-tailed Celestial Fox acknowledged.

"We don't know, but the Merfolk Queen might.

"We don't know, but the Merfolk Queen might know. Let's pay a visit to the Merfolk Island first and scout out the situation. We helped her get rid of a strong enemy, so it's not too much to ask for some information. "

Apart from that, there was also information on the various settlements of Godfiend descendants and the habitats of powerful creatures.

Apart from that, there was also information on the various Godfiend descendants' settlements and the habitats of powerful creatures.

At this time, a head popped up from the surface of the sea not far away. It was a beautiful woman with dark green hair, golden pupils, and pointy ears.

At that moment, a head emerged from the surface of the sea not far away. It was a beautiful woman. She had dark green hair, golden pupils, and pointed ears.

"Just in time …" Xu Qi 'an muttered in his heart. He stretched out his palm and clenched his fingers.
