Chapter 526: Chapter 537: Mermaid Pearl

Rumble~

The battle continued, whether it was the Sea Beast Corpse Puppets under Lu Chuan or the Merfolk Race, members were falling every moment.

On the rolling waves of the sea, broken corpses drifted everywhere, staining a part of the ocean red. The thick smell of blood even suppressed the pervasive sea scent.

On the sea surface, the roars of the Sea Beast Corpse Puppets and the screams of the Merfolk Race intertwined, forming a bloody symphony.

Although both sides seemed to have suffered considerable losses, overall, Lu Chuan’s side held the advantage in this battle.

Lu Chuan’s Sea Beast Corpse Puppets, due to their size being much larger than the Mutated Giant Sharks ridden by the Merfolk, gave them a clear advantage in the confrontation.

Especially since the Sea Beast Corpse Puppets possessed a heavy and hard turtle shell, making it difficult for the Mutated Giant Sharks, full of sharp serrated teeth, to break through their defenses.

As a result, in battle, a single Sea Beast Corpse Puppet could easily handle the siege from three or four Merfolk.

However, the Merfolk Race, when facing the tough Sea Beast Corpse Puppets, were not completely helpless; each Merfolk grasped a simple long fork made of blue metal.

These blue forks seemed exceedingly sharp. At every opportunity, the Merfolk would sacrifice a great amount of energy to instantly unleash them.

Once hit, even the turtle shells of the Sea Beast Corpse Puppets would immediately show a crack.

Upon seeing the crack, the besieging Merfolk would quickly unite to command the Mutated Giant Sharks in a fierce assault on the spot, until the turtle shell was shattered.

Without the protection of the turtle shell, the cumbersome nature of the Sea Beast Corpse Puppets’ bodies quickly became apparent.

The Merfolk, noticing this sharply, avoided confronting the Sea Beast Corpse Puppets head-on after losing their turtle shells. Instead, they sought opportunities to attack from the side, targeting areas without protection.

Under continuous attacks from several Merfolk, the severely injured Sea Beast Corpse Puppets without shells quickly met their end.

Alas, although effective in dealing with the Sea Beast Corpse Puppets, the method of the Merfolk Race was still too slow in terms of efficiency.

Usually, only after a Sea Beast Corpse Puppet had wiped out a dozen Merfolk, along with their giant shark mounts, would a single Sea Beast Corpse Puppet be defeated by the Merfolk Race.

The turtle mouths of the Sea Beast Corpse Puppets were astonishingly large when open, able to swallow a Merfolk along with the Mutated Giant Shark underneath them in one bite.

“Roaaar~ Roaaar~”

However, even at a disadvantage, the cold-blooded and murderous Merfolk Race showed no intention of retreat. They continued their fierce battle against the Sea Beast Corpse Puppets under Lu Chuan.

Especially among them, the four Merfolk who had reached the seventh rank were unafraid of death. Even as they faced the siege from dozens of Sea Beast Corpse Puppets, they proceeded fearlessly to continuously attack, slaughtering Sea Beast Corpse Puppets one after another.

Sitting atop the Mutated Giant Turtle, Lu Chuan quickly noticed these four Merfolk and immediately dispatched Flame One and Flame Two, of the eighth rank, to handle them.

Upon receiving the order, Flame One and Flame Two, positioned at the rear, flew into the sky together, transforming into two crimson streaks that cut through the sky, charging towards the four Merfolk rampaging amidst the Sea Beast Corpse Puppets.

At this moment, the four seventh-rank Merfolk unleashed their aura entirely, commanding the seventh-rank Mutated Giant Shark underneath them to deliver a fierce strike at the approaching Sea Beast Corpse Puppets. The strike from the blue metal forks in their hands could shatter the turtle shell of a Sea Beast Corpse Puppet with one blow and deeply pierce into internal flesh.

In an instant, four charging Sea Beast Corpse Puppets were severely injured. Meanwhile, the Mutated Giant Sharks underneath the Merfolk took the opportunity to bite into these Sea Beast Corpse Puppets, swallowing them quickly.

At that moment, a brilliant flash of fire descended, and rolling heat waves surged down from above.

“Roaaar～～”

Seeing Flame One and Flame Two rapidly descending, the four Merfolk quickly sensed great danger, quickly gathering together.

Boom!

In an instant, Flame One and Flame Two simultaneously attacked, jointly creating a crimson fireball.

However, the peculiar crimson fireball appeared to have no temperature, calmly floating before the two eighth-rank Corpse Puppets.

This was a simple application of the Sea of Blood Flames skill by the two Corpse Puppets.

The next moment, under the manipulation of Flame One and Flame Two, the stationary crimson fireball suddenly started to move.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

Chains formed from crimson flames shot rapidly from the fireball, dancing through the air and aiming for the four Merfolk below.

The four Merfolk clearly anticipated that this attack was extraordinary, angrily roaring at the sky and concentrating all their strength. The metal forks in their hands instantly formed a mountain-sized Weapon Dharma Aspect, winding towards the incoming crimson chains.

Unexpectedly, these Blood Flame Chains were incredibly agile. At the moment of contact with the Weapon Dharma Aspect, they slightly deviated and wound around the Weapon Dharma Aspect, heading for the bodies of the four Merfolk.

The four Merfolk had no time to react, and their bodies were ignited with Blood Flames, which continued to spread over them, using their flesh as fuel.

“Roaaar～～”

In a flash, horrifying screams erupted from the mouths of the four Merfolk. No matter how they tried to extinguish the flames, they could not succeed. The Blood Flames grew increasingly fierce.

Quickly, the Blood Flames on the bodies of the four Merfolk spread to the Mutated Giant Sharks below them. Even buried in the sea, the flames continued to spread across the Mutated Giant Sharks, causing the anguished Mutated Giant Sharks to struggle ceaselessly, emitting waves of mournful cries from their mouths.

Not long afterward, the four Merfolk, along with their four seventh-rank Mutated Giant Sharks, turned into ashes under the Blood Flames.

On the turtle’s back, as the outcome of the battle became clear, Ji Ruxue’s eyes lit up, seemingly struck by inspiration. She turned to remind Lu Chuan, “Papa, I remember that the Merfolk Race has Merfolk Pearls inside their bodies. If consumed in large quantities, they grant the power to command the waves.

And they enable freedom of movement and breathing in the sea. Later, don’t forget to collect them.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan’s eyes flashed with insight, knowing that with these Mermaid Pearls, the three of them could navigate the sea unhindered, even without relying on the Mutated Giant Turtle.

“All right, I’ll keep that in mind!”

Immediately, Lu Chuan nodded to Ji Ruxue.

After the four seventh-rank Merfolk Commanders were defeated, the power balance on the battlefield completely shifted. Soon, the entire Merfolk Race was wiped out; not a single Merfolk retreated, even unto death.

Thinking of the Mermaid Pearls, Lu Chuan immediately instructed the Corpse Puppets to clean the battlefield, particularly to collect the Mermaid Pearls, a crucial element for their independent traversal of the sea thereafter.

Before long, several large bags of sixth-rank Mermaid Pearls appeared on the turtle’s back.
