Inside the tree hole, Xiao Chen entered deep thought.
After listening to the old man's words, Xiao Chen tried to think of a countermeasure.
This was an opportunity. However, if he did not grasp it well, he would still end up the same. However, one would die in the mouths of the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks, and the other would die in the hands of a sect expert.
Actually, there was no difference. The latter might be more miserable, but the former would at least give him a quick death.
Xiao Chen waited and saw how the old man dealt with this group of Black Star Sawtooth Sharks first.
Even if the Black Star Sawtooth Shark chief only looked impressive, the hundreds of Black Star Sawtooth Sharks would not be easy to deal with.
Every mature Black Star Sawtooth Shark was as strong as an early-stage Major Primal Core Realm cultivator. Some were even late-stage Major Primal Core Realm cultivators.
They were not much weaker than the gray-clad old man.
Xiao Chen noticed that this old man and two youths were not on a ship. Instead, they were on an oceanic ferocious beast.
Based on the appearance of that ferocious beast, it seemed to be a tortoise beast similar to the Black Tortoise. Clearly, it had been tamed.
Four hours later, two red dots appeared in the sky. When the red dots got closer, Xiao Chen discovered that they were two gigantic seabirds with ferocious gazes.
Upon seeing this scene, Xiao Chen, who was in the tree hole, felt slightly shocked.
The sect that the gray-clad old man came from should have a special method to tame ferocious beasts or a sect that focused on taming ferocious beasts. "Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
The two ferocious seabirds stopped on the surface of the sea. As they flapped their wings, they instantly kicked up one-kilometer-tall waves.
A strong wind blew on the surface of the sea, giving off a strange roar.
Xiao Chen did not recognize these seabirds. They had hook-like claws that flickered with a cold light. Their wings were like sharp scimitars. When they spread their wings, they were like unsheathed blades.
The feathers on their bodies were like steel, giving off a metallic luster.
"Senior Brother, what is so urgent that the two of us brought the two remaining Cold Steel Eagles of the sect over?"
"We put in a lot of effort to convince the Sect Master."
On the seabird, there were two old men dressed in similar clothes to the old man, but they seemed to be slightly younger, who spoke.
The gray-clad old man smiled and spread out his aura again. Then, he forcefully quelled the storm caused by the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks.
"Black Star Sawtooth Sharks! That is …"
"Fluorescent Tree, the Ocean Tree of Life!"
The eyes of the two old men on the Cold Steel Eagles immediately lit up. They instantly understood what the gray-clad old man meant.
The gigantic Tree of Life was thousands of meters long, floating above the sea. Xiao Chen hid very well in the insignificant tree hole.
As Xiao Chen looked at the two Cold Steel Eagles, he felt somewhat doubtful. Could two Cold Steel Eagles deal with a group of Black Star Sawtooth Sharks?
However, in the next moment, his doubts were solved. He now knew that the seabirds that could fly in the starry sea were all overlords of the sea.
The Black Star Sawtooth Shark was so strong that regular late-stage Major Primal Core Venerates would not be willing to touch it.
But in this world, there would always be a natural enemy.
That was right. This was the infamous ferocious beast of the Grave Sea, the Cold Steel Eagle. Its feathers were as sharp as Cold Steel, and its body was like steel.
It did not fear the corrosion of the starry sea. One of its tail feathers was said to be invaluable, hard to find.
The two old men jumped onto the back of the tortoise beast and played a small flute. The melodious and pleasing flute music immediately spread in all directions, echoing over the sea, sounding exceptionally pleasing to the ear.
When the flute music rang out, the two Cold Steel Eagles immediately entered a state of combat. The Cold Steel Eagles spread their wings and attacked.
Every time the Cold Steel Eagles landed, their claws would leave six bloody and miserable wounds on the Black Star Sawtooth Shark's body.
The Cold Steel Eagles' sharp metal beaks could easily peck through the Black Star Sawtooth Shark's skin.
More importantly, these Cold Steel Eagles were ice-attributed. When their wounds froze, they could not recover.
The Cold Steel Eagles moved as fast as lightning. The Black Star Sawtooth Sharks could not catch them at all.
Soon, the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks howled miserably. Blood quickly dyed the seawater red, and a heavy baleful aura spread in the air.
As for the chief of the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks, which could pose the greatest threat to the Cold Steel Eagles, it was on its last breath. The Tree of Life had already sucked away all of its lifeforce, leaving only an empty shell.
This was simply a tragedy. The strong Black Star Sawtooth Sharks could not retaliate at all, and they all dove into the water.
Even so, the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks could not truly escape. These Cold Steel Eagles had the ability to dive into the water temporarily.
The two Cold Steel Eagles worked together to grab a Black Star Sawtooth Shark into the air. The Cold Steel Eagles plunged their metal hooks deep into its flesh and bones.
Then, the two Cold Steel Eagles flew to the side, and a bloody scene appeared.
The Black Star Sawtooth Shark was torn apart on the spot, and its blood splattered into the air. This cruel scene was something that even Xiao Chen could not bear to watch.
The remaining Black Star Sawtooth Sharks no longer dared to show themselves, all diving into the seawater.
Suddenly, the flute music rose in pitch. The two Cold Steel Eagles folded their wings, and their feathers shot into the water, carrying cold Qi.
Blood spread out, and waves roared at the bottom of the sea. The Black Star Sawtooth Shark tribe was utterly terrified, and they fled frantically.
The two Cold Steel Eagles achieved a complete victory!
After personally witnessing this scene, Xiao Chen understood something. In the future, if he saw any seabirds that could fly in the starry sea, he would have to make a detour.
These were the natural overlords of the sea, the Starry Heavens Eagles!
The tortoise beast carried the five people in the seawater, smiling as it swam towards the huge sea. Xiao Chen, who was in the tree hole, immediately fell into danger.
Originally, Xiao Chen was thinking of taking advantage of the chaos to escape while the other party fought the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks.
However, the earlier battle was one-sided. There was no chance at all.
If the other party knew that Xiao Chen emptied out the Life Source in the tree, he would not be able to survive even if he had nine lives.
The five people on the tortoise beast chatted and laughed. Xiao Chen, who was in the tree hole, could even hear some of their conversation.
Ten steps … nine steps … eight steps …
When the tortoise beast was only five steps away from the Tree of Life, Xiao Chen braced himself and came out of the tree hole.
He revealed a joyful smile as though he had been pardoned. He performed a cupped-fist salute and said excitedly, "Junior Xiao Chen thanks Seniors for saving my life."
"Whoosh!"
The sudden appearance of Xiao Chen startled the five. Who could have thought that there would be someone among the hundreds of Black Star Sawtooth Sharks?
However, when the gray-clad old man saw that Xiao Chen was just a half-step Primal Core cultivator, he immediately revealed a cold smile.
"Speak! Why are you in this Fluorescent Tree?" the gray-clad old man demanded softly as he looked coldly at Xiao Chen, radiating might without being angry.
Xiao Chen calmed himself and explained unhurriedly, "This junior's ship capsized due to the wind and waves. Everyone got separated. I was lucky and ran into this strange tree. However, the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks soon surrounded me. Fortunately, Seniors made a move and saved me. "
The gray-clad old man smiled and said, "Your explanation is reasonable and not flustered. You did not dodge my gaze, either. It does not look like you are lying. However, do you think that I will believe you? "
"I will not."
When Xiao Chen heard this, he smiled helplessly. The gray-clad old man was an experienced veteran. It would be impossible for Xiao Chen to use his acting skills to bluff his way out of this.
However, it was good that Xiao Chen took the initiative to come out. If he had turned to flee earlier, he would have died at the hands of the three late-stage Major Primal Core Venerates.
When the gray-clad old man saw Xiao Chen's calm appearance, he smiled and said, "Based on your air, you are not a bad person. My Beast Governing Sect is a righteous sect and will not kill people randomly. Hand over your storage ring and come back with us to the School of Imperial Beasts. After we investigate your identity, we will naturally let you live if you are not someone of the evil path. "
The gray-clad old man's words were flawless. He handled the situation very well.
After living for so long, the gray-clad old man knew that some people could not be killed. He trusted his judgment.
This white-clad youth before him had an extraordinary air and did not panic in the face of danger. He was definitely not an ordinary person.
If the gray-clad old man could avoid killing, it would be best not to do so. By taking away the other party's storage ring, he would already be able to maximize his benefits.
If the other party's seniors wanted to blame him, Xiao Chen would be able to advance or retreat freely, preventing the other party from finding an excuse to make things difficult for him.
"Sorry, this junior cannot accept this condition."
Xiao Chen immediately rejected. Then, he gently pushed off with his feet and soared into the air.
As the three Major Primal Core Venerates watched Xiao Chen leave, they shook their heads slightly, revealing mocking expressions on their faces.
Despite being in the starry sea and having two Cold Steel Eagles by his side, he still dared to flee into the air.
That was true; he was very cool.
When the flute music rang out, the two Cold Steel Eagles raised their heads slightly, locking their cold eyes on Xiao Chen. Then, they cried out and spread their wings to take flight.
The others climbed up the Tree of Life and no longer looked at Xiao Chen; he was already a dead man.
