Jiang Wang knew that the sharp-faced member of the Sea Race was still hunting him. The conversation he had heard through the sea beasts was a challenge from the other party.
He did not reject the challenge, but he did not accept it either.
It was like two children playing hide-and-seek. They agreed to hide somewhere and wait for the other party to find them, but when the other party was still counting, he had already gone home.
After the other party finished counting, they would search for him again and again in vain.
After quickly adjusting his body condition on the floating island, Jiang Wang chose a completely different direction and set off again.
He did not want to be entangled with anyone at all.
His current cleansing progress was 34%. If he was lucky enough to kill 13 commander-level members of the Sea Race in a day, he would need at least five more days of non-stop fighting to complete his cleansing. This was after taking into account the time he needed to return to the floating island to replenish his supplies.
Seven days had passed since he ambushed Granny Bizhu and tried to hunt her down. He really did not have much time to waste.
The first thing Jiang Wang did after leaving the floating island was to control some sea beasts and search around.
His previous hunting method had been proven effective. Of course, he had to continue.
…
…
"Yu" was a common surname of the Sea Race. But unlike the human race, there might not be only one Sea Race with the surname "Yu" in the world 500 years ago or 500 years later.
Sharing the same origin as the Sea Race, the Sea Race was born with a long lifespan. But because of the harsh environment of the sea, there were not many who could live for a long time. Also, it was difficult to have children, so it was not easy to pass down a legacy.
For the Sea Race, having children was something that could be counted as a "merit". And the stronger one was and the better one's bloodline, the more merit they would receive for having children.
If a member of the Sea Race did nothing but work hard to have children after reaching the King rank, the merit they would receive in the end might not be worse than that of experts of the same level who spent all their time in the Bewildering World.
The lifespan of a King rank member of the Sea Race would increase again. Their ability to resist all kinds of dangers in the sea would also increase. They would often be able to leave behind many descendants in the long years.
Yu Wangu was a product of such an environment.
The Sea Race was indifferent. His True King ancestor had countless children, so it was impossible for him to take care of all of them.
The True Kings of the sea were like that. Only the descendants who inherited the Gifted Divine Ability could receive their care. Therefore, Yu Wangu was lucky.
However, the unfortunate thing was that in this large family, there were eight other people who had inherited the same innate divine ability as him. His strength was ranked at the bottom.
Therefore, he also needed to work hard to prove himself, cultivate hard, and sharpen himself. Only then would he be valued more.
Killing a powerful human cultivator was undoubtedly the best proof and the most glorious military achievement. This was the reason why he pursued Jiang Wang so relentlessly.
However, after ten hours of searching and killing thirty-seven sea beasts … he was enraged.
That bastard from the human race actually ran away!
He was sure that the guy had run away instead of hiding somewhere and waiting for an opportunity to strike. This was the answer he got from combining the information in the blood of the thirty-seven sea beasts under its control.
It was clearly a battle of life and death, a bloody collision between the experts of the sea race and the human race. They sharpened their blades and schemed against each other. In the end, they decided to fight to the death and sublimate themselves in the midst of hardship.
What a glorious and interesting thing this was!
For this, he took a roundabout route, hid himself, created a diversion, and made a feint. In short, he made sufficient preparations and put on a show. With the greatest caution and focus, he found those sea beasts one by one.
However … the opponent had already run away?
Yu Wangu felt like an idiot. He had been fooled from the beginning to the end.
The thirty-eighth sea beast that stopped in front of him, which was also the last sea beast that Jiang Wang had controlled, exploded. Countless pieces of solidified blood scattered in all directions, like red stones scattered all over the ground.
"Coward! Humans are all spineless! "
His anger could not be quelled. He walked back while cursing.
The human race needed to resist the mutation of the bewildering world, and so did the sea race. However, he had not left the sea nest for long. He planned to go back now only because of the anger and irritation in his heart.
Although he looked down on the human cultivators, he recognized the strength of the human race in his heart. In a situation where his emotions were unstable, it was no longer suitable for him to hunt in the wild. This was irresponsible to himself.
However, he stopped again after walking for a short while.
Because his innate divine ability allowed him to once again sense the familiar blood information — sea beasts that had been controlled in the same way had appeared on the other side of this area. It was very far away, but it was indeed there.
The coward finally dared to appear. Did he think that he had shaken him off?
Yu Wangu was about to find him directly, but after thinking for a while, he smiled coldly. He took out a conch and quickly said a few words.
Then, he turned around and walked in the direction of the signal.
…
…
From Jiang Wang's point of view, the sea race powerhouse chasing him should be similar to Granny Bizhu. Because of his mastery of the art of beast taming, he discovered the abnormality of those sea beasts.
Therefore, he took the initiative to give up all the sea beasts that he had previously controlled and used them as decoy soldiers to lead the other party to chase after him. He returned to the floating island and adjusted himself before going out again.
He still used the sea beasts as a powerful warning tool. He chose targets, hid, lured, and killed them in one go.
However, this time, when he killed the third commander-level sea race powerhouse, four of the Soul Concealment Snakes that he had released suddenly disappeared at the same time!
This meant that he had lost contact with four of the sea beasts that he had controlled that were cruising around him. And he did not even get any information from the Soul Concealment Snakes.
Just as Jiang Wang was stunned, another two sea beasts that he had controlled died.
He immediately realized that the sea race powerhouse chasing him had come again. And because of some means of that pointy-faced sea race member. The sea beasts that he was currently controlling had already marked his location.
And he was already surrounded!
There was more than one opponent!
That pointy-faced sea race member was at least a mid-level commander-level sea race powerhouse. He alone was not easy to deal with, not to mention that he had brought helpers this time.
Without another word, Jiang Wang immediately took the initiative to disperse all the Soul Concealment Snakes that he had released.
He did not blame himself. He did not make any mistakes in this hunting operation. After all, he did not know the other party's ability. He also could not imagine how the other party had discovered and locked onto him when he was relying on the Soul Concealment Snakes to control the sea beasts.
Sometimes, it did not mean that you would not lose if you did not make any mistakes. Because your opponent was also very powerful and had their own experiences, stories, wisdom, and decisions.
I need to save myself!
This was the only thought in Jiang Wang's mind.
First of all, the other party must have come prepared.
In order to avoid the previous failure of the pursuit, the helpers that he had brought would definitely be able to help him capture the opponent. Or they would be good at tracking, or they would be very fast, or they would have the ability to lock onto the enemy's escape route.
Including that pointy-faced sea race member, there were at least six opponents. He definitely could not face them head-on.
Secondly, judging from the location of the sea beasts' deaths, the place where he was now was already surrounded. He could not rely on luck. The success rate of breaking out of the encirclement would not be very high. Because if he were the hunter, the first thing he would consider was the possibility of the opponent breaking out of the encirclement.
Thirdly, the other party could only lock onto the controlled sea beasts, not him! Otherwise, they could have stealthily approached him without alerting the sea beasts. After all, although he controlled those sea beasts, the sea beasts' vision was very limited. If that was the case, his ending could be imagined.
He had not been locked onto … This was where his chance of survival lay.
