Chapter 698: Human Slave

Zhang Yan also felt the strength of this old man at this time. The aura of this old man was indeed very terrifying. Coupled with fighting in the sea, the strength of the old man was even more powerful. However, Zhang Yan was not afraid of him at all. After all, there was a bite behind him. The soul beast stood there. This old man was just a Martial Emperor, and his strength was not worth mentioning in front of the soul-eating beast.

The old man looked down at Zhang Yan and the others and said angrily: "You guys dare to offend the majesty of our mermaid tribe. You will all die here today. I will kill you."

As the old man spoke, he waved the harpoon in his hand toward Zhang Yan and the others, and then the surrounding seawater suddenly formed water columns like giant pythons, attacking Zhang Yan and the others. The power of these water columns looked very powerful. Moreover, it also contains very powerful spiritual power, and the old man also wants to give Zhang Yan and the others a disincentive.

Xiao Hei on the side immediately ran towards Zhang Yan and the others when he saw this, and flew to help Zhang Yan and the others resist the water column. Xiao Hei also spit out a huge water column from his mouth and attacked the old man directly, and Xiao Hei He could also control the surrounding sea water to form a powerful water column to fight against the old man.

It's just that Xiao Hei's strength is still inferior to that of the old man. His water column was only in a stalemate with the old man's water column for a while, and was defeated by the old man's water column in less than a moment, and the old man's water column also moved towards Zhang Yan and the others. The impact passed, but Zhang Yan and the others were very fast. When the water column was about to attack them, Zhang Yan and Wang Zongheng instantly dodged aside.

I saw a figure flash, and Zhang Yan and Wang Zongheng disappeared directly on the spot. The old man's water column attack also failed, but the old man did not give up. He shouted loudly, and then the surrounding seawater suddenly fluctuated. Four huge waves with a height of several feet were formed directly. The wall formed by these waves moved directly towards the center. The old man wanted to use the waves to directly press Zhang Yan and the others in the center, and directly crush Zhang Yan and the others to death.

But at this time, the Soul-Eating Beast could not stand idly by. Zhang Yan and the others were indeed no match for this old man. After all, the old man's cultivation level was much higher than Zhang Yan's. However, the Soul-Eating Beast suddenly took action at this time. He came directly in front of the old man, raised his hand and struck the old man directly with a palm. This palm contained very powerful soul power.

The old man was immediately shocked when he saw this. He had not noticed the Soul-Eating Beast before. Only then did the old man realize that the Soul-Eating Beast was actually the most powerful person among these people. The Soul-Eating Beast was actually so powerful. This palm had not hit him yet. When it came to the old man's body, the old man had already felt the power of this palm. The old man knew that he would not be able to catch this palm, so he immediately withdrew his previous spiritual power.

The old man concentrated all his spiritual power in front of himself, and the shields formed by the sea water blocked his body. The old man just wanted to resist the palm of the soul-eating beast, but he was only a martial emperor. , in front of the soul-eating beast, there was no way to fight back. The soul-eating beast glared, and suddenly a powerful soul power attack directly penetrated these seawater shields and instantly attacked the old man. The old man suddenly let out a scream. , and at the same time, all the sea water he controlled was scattered, and he also fell from the air.

The soul-eating beast just swallowed the old man's soul with just one move, and the old man fell directly to the sea. The whole person had become a dead person. At this time, Xiaobai fell directly from Hu Meier's arms. Jumping out, Xiao Bai came to the old man's body, dug his claws on the old man's body twice, and then took out a bead from the old man's body. Xiao Bai swallowed the bead without saying a word. , after doing all this, Xiaobai returned to Hu Meier's arms with satisfaction, and continued to sleep with his eyes closed.

When Zhang Yan saw the bead that Xiaobai got, he couldn't help but asked a little strangely: "Is that the spiritual bead in the body of the mermaid tribe? Is it also where their demon core is?"

Xiao Hei nodded and said: "That's true. The bead in the body of the mermaid tribe is their spirit bead. It's the same as the demon core in our monster beasts. It's just that the energy in their spirit beads is milder. But even if It requires a little bit of absorption and refining, and few people dare to devour it directly."

Zhang Yan smiled and said: "These are not problems for Xiaobai, but how is the blood of the three-headed snake in your body fused? I think your strength seems to have improved a lot."

Xiao Hei smiled when he heard this and said: "I am making progress every day, but you can't rush this kind of thing, but my strength has indeed improved a lot."

"By the way, this is the pearl I got from the three island masters before. I forgot to give it to you." Zhang Yan said and gave Xiao Hei the Hanhai Pearl he got from the three island masters on Sanshen Island. .

Xiao Hei was very excited after receiving Han Haizhu, and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, boss, thank you, boss."

"Don't thank me, you deserve this. After all, you are the most suitable for this bead," Zhang Yan said lightly.

Xiao Hei didn't say much nonsense when he heard this, and directly confessed the owner of the Hanhai Pearl by dripping blood. Xiao Hei was very excited after recognizing the owner. After all, this is a sacred weapon, and its power is very huge. The three island masters before passed through the Hanhai Pearl. The turbulent waves that Zhu cast were as if he were controlling the entire sea area. This kind of power was very huge, and Xiao Hei was very envious of it.

This time, Xiao Hei couldn't put it down. However, Xiao Hei didn't have any hands yet, so he could only use his spiritual power to control the Han Haizhu to rotate around him. Xiao Hei was very excited to play with the Han Haizhu.

Zhang Yan frowned and said: "I didn't expect this person from the mermaid tribe to be so powerful, and it seems that this old man is not the most powerful person in the mermaid tribe. It seems that we have to be more careful. After all, here is now This is the territory of the mermaid tribe, so we’d better be careful.”

"What I'm saying is that we'd better be careful. After all, we're not here to cause trouble this time. We're here to find Xuanwu Island, but we don't know where Xuanwu Island is yet," Wang Zongheng said helplessly.

Zhang Yan smiled when he heard this and said: "This matter can be easily solved. We can catch a person from the mermaid tribe and ask them later. I just don't know if this person from the mermaid tribe can show up again."

As soon as Zhang Yan finished speaking, the Soul-Eating Beast said, "Look ahead, there seems to be an island in front of you."

After hearing this, everyone immediately looked towards the distance on the sea level in front of them, and they actually saw an island. However, this island looked relatively big, almost catching up with the size of Sanshen Island. Zhang Yan and the others also looked at the island. They all became excited, because the existence of an island meant that there were people. As long as there were people, Zhang Yan and the others could ask for directions.

Zhang Yan and the others drove the boat quickly towards the distant island. However, the closer they got to the island, the more Zhang Yan felt something strange. Zhang Yan asked very strangely: "Did you feel anything was wrong? Why is this island so strange?" The closer you get, the more intense the aura of heaven and earth becomes. This island is like a huge spiritual stone, isn’t it?”

Wang Zongheng also nodded and said: "It is indeed true. There is a very large amount of spiritual energy of heaven and earth on this island, and these spiritual energy of heaven and earth are very rich. It has almost caught up with the richness of spiritual energy in the forbidden area in the back mountain of our Tianzong Empire. You must know that there are spiritual stone veins buried under our back mountain forbidden area."

When Wang Zongheng said this, he suddenly stopped, looked at Zhang Yan with a look of disbelief, and said excitedly: "Could it be that there are also spirit stone veins on this island?"

Zhang Yan's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he said with a smile: "I'm not sure, the spiritual energy here is too strong, there may be a spirit stone vein, but if there is a spirit stone vein, then there must be someone occupying this place. Inside, we’d better be careful.”

Zhang Yan immediately put the boat away as he spoke. Everyone hid their auras and let Xiao Hei carry them in the sea towards the distant island. When Zhang Yan and the others were relatively close to the island, they discovered There are warriors from the mermaid clan guarding the island all around. The strength of these warriors from the mermaid clan is not low, and they all have martial arts cultivation. All these warriors from the mermaid clan are guarding the island attentively. islands.

Zhang Yan said: "As expected, since there is a vein of spirit stone here, there will definitely be forces occupying it. Now it seems that this vein of spirit stone belongs to the mermaid tribe, but I don't know what is inside. What kind of spiritual stone is it? If we can go in and take away some of the spiritual stones, it will be a big profit."

When they thought that there were a large number of spirit stones here, everyone had excited expressions on their faces, and everyone showed greedy smiles. After all, this was the territory of the mermaid clan, and the mermaid clan had provoked Zhang Yan and the others. Since it was Enemies, Zhang Yan doesn't need to talk to them about kindness, he can just go in and steal it.

Zhang Yan whispered: "Let's sneak in first to see what's going on, and then we'll act accordingly."

As Zhang Yan spoke, he took Xiao Hei to a shore of the island secretly. There were relatively few guards here. There were only two people guarding here, and Zhang Yan and the others took advantage of these two people not paying attention. , slipped in directly from the side, Zhang Yan and the others were very fast, the two of them only felt a gust of wind blowing.

"Who!" One of the people yelled, and then looked into the woods to the side, only to find that he saw no one, only the sea breeze rustling the leaves.

Seeing this, another person couldn't help complaining and said: "Don't be surprised here. This is the hinterland of our mermaid tribe. How could anyone come here? Besides, this is where our mermaid tribe's spirit stone mine is located." If anyone dares to come here, he will declare himself an enemy of our mermaid tribe. Who dares to be an enemy of our mermaid tribe in this chaotic sea? "

"So don't worry, no one will dare to come here to cause trouble. Besides, we have so many people guarding here that not even a bird can fly in, let alone people?" Where is this warrior from the mermaid tribe? It was told in detail.

The former seemed a little impatient when he heard this, frowned and said: "I'm just doing my duty here. After all, we are ordered to guard here. If something goes wrong, we can't afford it, so we should be more careful. For good.”

Zhang Yan and the others had already slipped into the woods at this time. The two of them had indeed not noticed Zhang Yan and the others. Hu Meier patted her chest and said, "It's so dangerous. We almost didn't get discovered by them just now."

Hu Meier's speed was still much slower than that of Zhang Yan and the others. She was almost discovered when she just made a sound.

Zhang Yan and the others quietly walked into the island, only to find that the entire island had turned into a large natural pit. Only there were some woods outside, and the entire center had been dug into a large pit. In this huge mine, there are many human warriors digging for spiritual stones with their own weapons.

Spirit stones are very hard, and only warriors with a martial arts level or above can dig them. These human warriors are generally warriors with a martial arts level, and some of the stronger ones are warriors with a martial arts level. However, No matter what their cultivation level is, they are all slaves of the mermaid tribe here.

There were hundreds of people from the human race. All of them were carrying bamboo baskets and waving their weapons to dig out the spiritual stones buried in the ground. There were also many people from the mermaid race beside them. The weakest among these people are some mermaids with martial arts cultivation, and there are even a few mermaids with martial saint cultivation who are in charge. They all guard these human tribes with whips. If they see anyone being lazy, they will go up and kill them. The whip was drawn, and the warriors were immediately beaten to pieces, causing them to kneel down and beg for mercy.

The people from the mermaid tribe yelled loudly while beating them: "You lowly human tribe, why don't you give me a good dig? If you don't get a thousand yuan today, don't even think about living a good life. Come on, Are you lazy there?"

While the mermaid clan's guardian was speaking, he hit the human warrior next to him twice with his whip, causing the human warrior to stagger and almost fall down.

Zhang Yan and the others saw this scene from a distance and were so angry that they all gritted their teeth and their faces were all very angry. Zhang Yan wished he could rush down and kill all the mermaid people here, but Zhang Yan still restrained himself.

Wang Zongheng said at this time: "No wonder they want to capture us as slaves. It turns out that we are mining spiritual stones for them here. These bastards are simply looking for death."
