A succubus devours its master? She then raises a twelve-winged angel!

Chapter 389 Shark Race, Xi!
The half hour ended quickly, and everything returned to normal.

Subsequently, under the guidance of Elder Gui, Gu Xing and his group did not go directly into the sea, but instead arrived at a small border town called "Linhai City" by the sea.

The name of this city is simple and unadorned, yet perfectly fitting.

"Lord Gu Xing,"

Grandpa Turtle explained, “The homeland of the sea people is far away and deep in the sea. Even though we sea people are not afraid of the wind and waves, you are different.”

"Therefore we need a sturdy ship that can carry us safely on our journey and also serve as a place to rest along the way."

Gu Xing had no objection to this.

Although he was powerful, flying for a long time would eventually deplete his strength.

Maintaining peak condition is crucial in treacherous waters.

After all, they might not be enemies; in the sea, one could also encounter terrifying natural disasters.

Faced with the power of nature, even totem-level entities must temporarily retreat.

After entering Linhai City, Gu Xing discovered that it was a hidden paradise.

The buildings in the city are mostly constructed of coral, seashells, and specially treated stone, giving the city a distinctly marine feel.

To his surprise, almost all the residents coming and going in the city were merfolk.

They have human upper bodies and colorful fish tails for lower bodies, swimming nimbly in the city's waterways or moving on land using specially designed sleds.

The air was filled with a faint salty smell and a unique seaweed fragrance.

Upon seeing Gu Xing and the others, the merfolk merely glanced at them briefly before paying them no further attention.

Perhaps, other races also come here on ordinary days.

Meanwhile, Old Turtle led Gu Xing straight to the boat shop.

only.
Along the way, Gu Xingbu overheard many whispers, all revolving around a common theme.

South China Sea!

"Have you heard? The Blackfin family's merchant fleet hasn't returned from the South China Sea again, three days ago..."

"How many batches has this been? Every ship that goes in that direction has never come back!"

"This is too eerie! Everyone says that a terrifying sea monster has appeared over there, capable of creating waves hundreds of meters high and swallowing ships and people whole, leaving not even bones behind!"

"That's right, nobody dares to take on jobs in the South China Sea these days, no matter how many pearls you offer..."

These fragmented rumors reached Gu Xing's ears, causing him to frown slightly.

The South China Sea is exactly the homeland of the sea creatures that Arya spoke of.

He was about to ask about Old Turtle's situation when he realized they had already arrived at the shipyard.

Therefore, Gu Xing kept it to himself for the time being.

At this moment, the old turtle found a burly merman with a thick beard.

"Give me the fastest and most stable boat; we want to go to the South China Sea."

Old Turtle stepped forward and got straight to the point.

The boat owner's expression changed drastically upon hearing the words "South China Sea".

The warm smile vanished instantly, replaced by terror.

He waved his hands repeatedly, shaking his head like a rattle drum:

"No way! Who would dare go to the South China Sea to their death these days? Even if you piled all the pearls in the city in front of me, I wouldn't do this business! Please go back!"

Grandpa Turtle was taken aback by the ruthless rejection. He had been away for a long time and was obviously unaware of the recent terrifying rumors in the South China Sea.

"What are you saying? We've been sailing the South China Sea route for years, what could possibly happen..."

Gu Xing gently tugged at Old Turtle's sleeve and whispered a brief account of the rumors he had just heard in the city.

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Turtle's white eyebrows furrowed together.

"The South China Sea has suddenly become so dangerous? Could it be... that those damned demons are up to something?" Gu Xing dismissed the old man's guess in his heart.

It is now confirmed that the demons have retreated back to the Demon Realm and are preparing for a sacrifice.

The small-scale bullying of passing ships in the South China Sea is not like the Demon Clan's large-scale modus operandi.

There must be something else behind this!

However, he is not afraid of anything now, no matter what it is.

After all, his level has reached the peak of the monarch realm. How strong are his beast tamers now?

He himself wasn't quite sure!
Unless the one in the South China Sea is a top-tier totem-level powerhouse, they would be no match for Liuli and Vera.
They're all free!
As Grandpa Turtle and the boat owner argued, a cold glint flashed in Gu Xing's eyes.

Time was of the essence, and if conventional methods failed, he was willing to use unconventional approaches to persuade the ship owner.

Just as he was about to step forward and release a wisp of his aura to intimidate,

A slightly timid voice sounded from the side:

"Gentlemen...are you planning to go to the South China Sea?"

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young merman emerge from behind a pile of wooden crates on the dock.

He looked young, with delicate features, but his face was somewhat pale, the color of his fish tail was also somewhat dull, and his eyes carried a weariness that did not match his age.

Old Turtle sized him up, then asked with a hint of wariness:

"you are?"

The young merman took a deep breath, seemingly gathering his courage, and said:
“My name is Xi, and I… I can take you to the South China Sea.”

Upon hearing this, the boat owner immediately scolded:

Xi! Are you out of your mind? Have you forgotten your father and the others...?

The young man named Xi trembled slightly, but his eyes became even more determined. He looked at Gu Xing and continued:
"I know the South China Sea is dangerous right now! But..."

“My father was the best navigator in town. A month ago, he took his fleet to the South China Sea…”

"Only I was lucky enough to come back alive."

These words instantly drew Gu Xing's attention to him.

The only person to survive the South China Sea?
Xi seemed to see through the urge in Gu Xing's eyes. He gritted his teeth and stated his conditions, his voice pleading:

"I can guide you, and I will do my best to get you to that dangerous area, even if it costs me my life."

"But... before that, I have a request, or rather... a condition for exchange."

He looked up. “My sister has contracted a strange illness that the pharmacists in the city are helpless to treat.”

"Her body is getting weaker and weaker... I beg you, if any of you have a strong healer, could you please save my sister first?"

"As long as my sister gets better, my life belongs to you! I'm willing to take you anywhere!"

After saying that, he bowed deeply to Gu Xing and the others, his body trembling slightly with nervousness.

Gu Xing and Turtle Elder exchanged a glance, then looked at the Snow Maiden beside them.

The Snow Woman possesses top-tier healing abilities; she can definitely solve this problem.

More importantly, this is the only merman to have returned from the South China Sea.

He has his own value.

Gu Xing pondered for a moment, looked at Xi, and asked in a deep voice:
"Where is your sister now? Take us to see her."

A light instantly flashed in Xi's eyes.

The fact that these adults were willing to go means that they must possess extremely strong healing abilities.

Perhaps there's hope for my sister!
Thinking of this, he immediately nodded excitedly:

"It's right here at home! Gentlemen, please follow me!"
