Chapter 1586: Cold Essence Tribe

When the two women saw the corpse clearly, they were naturally overjoyed.

Qing Xiao let out a long breath, bowed deeply to Han Li, and said:

"Thanks to Senior Han for taking action, otherwise this time, I don't know how many fellow daoists would have perished in our Fire Coral Archipelago."

"That is correct. Even Silver Shark Hermit was not a match for this monster. Once it started killing in this sea area, it would definitely have been a great catastrophe for us. Thank you, Mr. Han, for displaying your divine abilities and removing this demon!" the black-skirted young woman also said more respectfully than before.

"It is nothing! Although this monster is somewhat troublesome, my cultivation technique just happens to restrain it a bit. However, this beast does not look like a sea demon beast. Do you know where it came from?" Han Li waved his hand and asked nonchalantly.

"Junior does not know this. This thing appeared in this place for the first time. At that time, dozens of us fellow daoists were gathering here to discuss how to deal with that sea beast. This moth suddenly rushed out from the fog outside the island and flew onto the island. Caught off guard, many fellow daoists whose cultivation was not enough were immediately shattered and died by its roar. But fortunately, Silver Shark Hermit took action to contain this beast for a while, which allowed the remaining small half of the people to escape. Otherwise, if it had roared with all its might, it would not be strange at all if all of us had perished here," recalling the horror of the giant moth, Qing Xiao still couldn't help but flash a trace of fear on her face.

Han Li frowned and nodded, then turned his gaze and landed on the group of young men and women who had walked out of the pavilion, and asked casually:

"Are these people originally from this island? Their physical constitution seems somewhat special, but they are not cultivators."

"Hehe, these are Cold Essence Tribe people. Although people of this tribe cannot communicate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, each of them is exceptionally clever, can spray some cold air from their mouths, and their appearance will always remain as it was when they reach adulthood, only showing signs of aging at the moment their lifespan ends. It is a tribe with relatively few members. There are only ten thousand or so in the entire Fire Coral Archipelago. But because this tribe cannot produce cultivators, they generally rely on other powerful tribes or are specifically protected by some powerful Upper Tribe. These Cold Essence Tribe people originally relied on Silver Shark Hermit and existed as ordinary attendants," the black-skirted young woman explained.

"But now that Silver Shark Hermit is dead, I am afraid they have to find a way out again," Qing Xiao sighed, seemingly quite sympathetic to these Cold Essence Tribe people.

"Oh, this tribe is truly somewhat strange!" Han Li was hearing about such an alien tribe for the first time and couldn't help but feel exceptionally interested, looking at these men and women several more times.

And those young men and women heard the words of the two women, and under the leadership of the woman in white, they kept kowtowing and bowing to Han Li.

"Why, are they planning to switch their allegiance to Mr. Han to seek protection! If that is truly the case, Mr. Han might as well take them in. People of this tribe are the best candidates for attendants, whether it is handling chores in the cave dwelling or managing the medicine garden, they all have some unique points," the black-skirted young woman smiled sweetly.

"Oh, they know how to cultivate spiritual medicine!" Han Li was somewhat surprised to hear this.

"Not only do they know, but their talent in cultivating spiritual medicine is far superior to that of ordinary Upper Tribe cultivators. And these people were able to follow by Silver Shark Hermit's side, so they are naturally the most outstanding among this tribe. If they were placed outside, there might be a lot of Upper Tribes fighting for them," Qing Xiao also said with a smile.

"Unfortunately, I have always been used to traveling alone and don't like having people by my side. If you two Fellow Daoists like them, you can take them in yourselves," Han Li shook his head without hesitation.

"Hmm, since Senior Han has said so. Then Junior will not be polite. Qing sister, how about I split these Cold Essence Tribe people with you?" the black-skirted young woman blinked her beautiful eyes and smiled.

"I already have quite a few attendants on my island. Since sister likes them, you can take them all," Qing Xiao was exceptionally generous and replied indifferently.

The black-skirted young woman didn't stand on ceremony anymore upon hearing this and asked those Cold Essence Tribe people if they were willing to follow her.

Since these Cold Essence Tribe people had witnessed the death of their original master with their own eyes, facing the black-skirted young woman's invitation, they naturally wouldn't refuse anything. Immediately, they answered respectfully one after another. Then, under the young woman's instruction, they began to tidy up the largest ice palace before inviting the three of them in.

"Mr. Han, what are your plans for the future! Are you still interested in killing that sea beast?" Qing Xiao, sitting on a stone chair between the two women, asked.

"Hmm, since I have arrived here, I naturally will not give up easily. I have to take action at least once to see," Han Li sat between the two women and replied calmly.

Qing Xiao and the two women looked at each other upon hearing this.

"Why, do you two feel that Han Mou cannot do this?" Han Li raised an eyebrow and asked back indifferently.

"With Senior's divine abilities in killing the giant moth, how could you not have a chance to kill that sea beast. But Mr. Han does not know that the reason we were able to track that sea beast before was largely dependent on Silver Shark Hermit's Silver Light Shark. Now that this spirit beast has perished with Silver Shark Hermit, wanting to find that sea beast again is probably not a simple matter," the black-skirted young woman hurriedly explained.

"There is such a thing. How did that Silver Light Shark find the sea beast?" Han Li was stunned, but after pondering, he immediately asked.

"I heard Silver Shark Hermit mention this; it seems that the Silver Light Shark is born with a mysterious tracking divine ability. As long as it has seen something once, it can sense its existence within ten thousand miles and slowly find it. Before, we all went near the sea area where the sea beast appeared and let the Silver Light Shark lead the way to find the sea beast's hiding place," Qing Xiao said solemnly.

"In that case, it is indeed somewhat troublesome. It seems I need to go to the place where the sea beast appears alone and try my luck," Han Li frowned.

"Since Senior insists on looking for this beast, why not wait for another month or so. There should still be some fellow daoists who gathered at Blue Lake Island before, and there are many who have not yet arrived at this island. If we can mobilize so many people to search together, it would be better than Senior searching alone," the black-skirted young woman suggested after thinking about it.

"This probably won't be of much use. I remember Fellow Daoist Qing said that the sea beast also has strong divine abilities. If we search separately, it will be very difficult to entangle this beast. But if we act together, the hope of finding it is also slim. And this kind of search, if it is for a short time, it is still feasible, but if it takes a long time, I am afraid there will be people with complaints. If that is the case, it would be better for Han Mou to act alone. As for others, if they are willing, that would be best. If they are not willing, Han Mou will not force them," Han Li grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth and smiled.

Hearing Han Li say this, the two women naturally had nothing more to say.

"If Han Mou is lucky enough to retrieve the Sky Cloud Crystal, I hope you two Fellow Daoists will help me repair the teleportation array."

"Senior, please rest assured. As long as there is that Sky Cloud Crystal, repairing the teleportation array is definitely on me and Qing sister," the black-skirted young woman smiled sweetly.

Qing Xiao also made the same promise.

Han Li nodded with great satisfaction at the two women's reply.

The following matters were simple. Han Li asked the two women about the approximate location of the sea beast and their contact methods, and then flew away as a green rainbow.

Qing Xiao and the black-skirted young woman sent him out of the main hall door, standing on the ground and looking at the green escape light that disappeared in a flash in the sky, and the two began to look different.

"I still can't believe that Senior Han actually killed that giant moth. You know, his cultivation looks like it's only at the same level as Silver Shark Hermit, and Silver Shark Hermit didn't last long in front of that monster at all," the black-skirted young woman muttered.

"Mr. Han didn't say, his divine abilities just happened to restrain the giant moth, so he was able to kill this monster," Qing Xiao was silent for a while before replying with a strange tone.

"Sister, what are you trying to say?" Qing Xiao sighed.

"Nothing. Qing sister, haven't you had a dual cultivation partner until now? This Mr. Han has such great divine abilities, isn't he a very good candidate? If sister feels it's not suitable, then I won't be polite," the black-skirted young woman giggled.

"Sister, what are you talking nonsense about? I have only met Mr. Han twice. How could I have such thoughts," Qing Xiao's jade-like face instantly flew with a red glow, and she said with anger in her mouth.

"What's wrong with that? If I remember correctly, Qing sister has been stuck at the fifth stage for quite a few years. If you can become a dual cultivation partner with someone with such great divine abilities, you should be able to break through this bottleneck very easily. As for not being familiar with Mr. Han yet, what does it matter? As long as he hasn't left this sea area, you can see him a few more times. With sister's talent, I don't believe this person won't be moved," the black-skirted young woman giggled.

"Sister, stop talking nonsense. Mr. Han will return to his own continent sooner or later, so how can he stay here for long! And maybe he already has a dual cultivation partner," Qing Xiao's face finally faded, and she said with some composure.

"Oh, that is a problem. But that sea beast is so cunning, and the sea area it appears in is so vast, how could it be so easy to find and kill? As long as he cannot repair the teleportation array for a day, he can only stay in our Fire Coral Archipelago. In that case, what is the difference whether Mr. Han had a dual cultivation partner before or not," the young woman shook her head repeatedly.

This time, Qing Xiao didn't reply upon hearing this, but looked at the end of the sky where Han Li disappeared again, and issued a faint sigh that was almost impossible to detect.
