Chapter 519: Sea Of Death (Part 10)

Although she had a special origin, but she wasn’t foolish enough to think she was the chosen savior.

"Let’s just leave quietly before anyone noticed us," Kenny Lin said with a smile.

But then his expression suddenly turned sour as he looked in a certain direction.

Amalia’s cultivation level was slightly lower than him, so she only noticed the anomaly a beat later.

At that moment, three water columns burst open not far from them on the sea surface.

A gigantic and an incredibly blue octopus emerged from the sea in a spectacular way.

Its two cold, black orbs rotated once before fixing on them, making its intentions clear.

"You and your crow mouth," Amalia’s mouth twitched.

The idea of just minding their own business clearly wasn’t going to work.

"I thought you were ready to sacrifice yourself for the cause, but I haven’t seen you actually do it," Kenny Lin teased and staunchly refusing to admit that he was the crow mouth.

Amalia rubbed her temples, "Don’t change the subject. What do we do now? That blue ring octopus, even at its weakest, is at Level 15. It’s already targeting us. Are you confident we can win?"

"Confidence?" Kenny Lin said, "Not much. This blue ring octopus has subordinates, Level 13 and Level 14, who are each a force to be reckoned with. They’re like overlords out here. It seems like they’re deliberately coming after us. Could it have sensed the black fragment aura your son released earlier?"

Only the king of the sea could sense such a fleeting black fragment aura.

It seemed that fortune and misfortune were intertwined, making it hard to determine if this was a good or bad thing.

"There’s only one way now," Kenny Lin said firmly.

"What’s that?"

"I’ll engage them first. You take our son and go. Once you’re out of danger, I’ll make my escape. They may be strong, but it’s not easy for them to keep someone who’s determined to flee."

Amalia didn’t hesitate, "I reject that proposal. I won’t agree to it."

It sounded easy in theory, but in reality, was it really that simple?

Amalia wasn’t a fool; she could tell Kenny Lin was intentionally analyzing these options for her benefit.

"In that case, there’s only one option left," Kenny Lin sighed while shaking his head.

Having a girlfriend who was too clever wasn’t always a good thing.

"Don’t drag this out. Just say it," Amalia urged.

Just as he was about to voice his decision, Wealth popped his head out and shouted something at the blue ring octopus.

The blue ring octopus visibly paused, its facial area seeming to twitch.

The two mutated creatures, one large and one small, then began conversing in front of Amalia and Kenny Lin.

After a while, Wealth turned back to face them and made a motion as if he were taking something out of his chest.

"It wants us to hand over our organs to them, right?" Kenny Lin couldn’t help but quip.

Amalia elbowed him in the waist.

Kenny Lin clutched his waist, "Wife, be careful, that’s my kidney. It’s important for... you know."

"I don’t know, and I don’t want to know," Amalia retorted while glaring at him.

If he went three days without a beating, he’d start tearing the roof down—he clearly needed a good thrashing.

"Wealth is negotiating with them, trying to get us to hand over what they want so they’ll let us go."

After whispering this, Amalia was somewhat surprised.

She had always thought that most higrle-level mutated creatures wouldn’t want to negotiate with humans; usually, they’d start fighting on sight.

Kenny Lin sneered, "They think they can just say ’let us go’ and get the black fragments for free? They’re dreaming. Tell them to stop daydreaming."

Wealth was about to convey this message when Amalia gave him a stern look, causing him to hold back.

With teary eyes, it looked at its owner.

What did this have to do with it?

"Do you just listen to everything your dad says without thinking for yourself? Can’t you use your brain to see if what he says is entirely trustworthy?" Amalia sternly lectured.

Wealth paused, thinking carefully.

It seemed to make a lot of sense. It immediately nodded its head, "I get it now."

"Hey, is it really okay to badmouth me in front of my son?"

Kenny Lin retorted.

If there were a chair around, he’d have crossed his legs and watched them with a smirk.

The blue ring octopus, having listened to their banter for a while, grew impatient and urged them to hurry up.

Wealth pointed to the blue ring octopus and asked Amalia what they should do about the big creature.

At that moment, a loud noise suddenly erupted from the direction of the Sea of Death in the distance.

The blue ring octopus’s expression instantly changed.

Don’t ask how they could tell—the giant octopus’s body color changed from blue to red, radiating an overwhelming fury.

"Sir, we’ve been tricked!"

One of the subordinates also turned pale and hurriedly reported to the blue ring octopus.

"These two humans deliberately lured us out. Their real goal is to target the King. We must return immediately," another subordinate said in a rush.

Before this, there had been a top human spiritual cultivators who attempted to attack their King.

However, something happened within the human team, and one human even actively stopped his peers from attacking them.

Although the details were unclear, the King later unleashed his strongest blow and severely injuring the two of them.

After those humans retreated, they believed humans wouldn’t dare to attack again anytime soon.

Unexpectedly, more humans came from the direction of the sea.

Seeing that the two humans before them weren’t very powerful, they temporarily dismissed their suspicions, ultimately underestimating these cunning humans.

"Yes, sir, leave this to us. You should return to protect the King," a subordinate urged anxiously.

In the end, the blue ring octopus’s concern outweighed its anger.
