Xu Qing lowered his head and looked at the ground.

He wanted to go see what was at the location indicated by the guidance.

In the jade slip Huang Yan gave him, there was also a description of the underground of the Mermaid Clan's islands.

Because of the characteristics of their race, the buildings in the Mermaid Clan's territory were divided into two layers of worlds: one was on the island, a surface world composed of cities built with those bones or shells.

They liked bones; whether it was fish bones, beast bones, or the bones of other races, they were all things they were keen on. And the more eerie and evil it was, the greater the degree of this liking.

It seemed this was a cultural heritage buried in the soul of every Mermaid Clan member.

As for the second layer of the world, it was underground.

This underground was not a cave, but a building complex that penetrated the entire island's soil layer, went deep into the sea, and was built upside down on the island's foundation.

And the overall appearance of the Mermaid Island was actually like a floating leaf, with buildings on both the top and bottom sides, using strange power to keep it from sinking.

In Huang Yan's jade slip, the world built by the Mermaid Clan under the sea was described with the two words "dazzling and wonderful."

It was said that all the buildings there were formed by countless colorful corals, and at the same time, there were a large number of sea anemones on the corals, covered with tentacles with barbs.

As for the specific appearance, Xu Qing did not know.

"Let's go. There's nothing good here. We'll go to the fish eye; that's the entrance." The Captain shouted and swayed his body, rushing toward the distance.

Xu Qing chose to follow, but kept a certain distance. The relationship between him and the Captain was somewhat strange; he both trusted and did not trust him.

Regarding the Captain, Xu Qing always felt he was mysterious, and at the same time, he found it difficult to fathom the other party's thoughts, instinctively feeling that there was danger on him.

Especially since he could now fight Foundation Establishment with his own cultivation base, but every time he perceived the Captain's aura, he still felt that the other party was a bit stronger.

This made Xu Qing even more guarded.

Just like that, the two of them galloped forward rapidly in this fish-bone city, aiming for the location of the fish eye. Whether it was the Captain's statement or the description in Xu Qing's jade slip, that place was the entrance to the underground world.

During this period, they also saw quite a few Seventh Blood Child disciples.

These people were either galloping in the dark, or searching in various buildings, and some were specifically looking for the corpses of the Mermaid Clan to search for hidden spirit stones.

There were even some who were sneak-attacking in concealment, whether it was their own sect or the Mermaid Clan, they were all their targets.

In the entire city, the Seventh Blood Child disciples were like a pack of hyenas, good at hiding and good at hunting, but upon seeing Xu Qing and the Captain, most of them avoided them rapidly.

It was unknown whether they feared the Captain or were wary of Xu Qing.

"You've seen these guys, right? Many of them could have broken through long ago, but they suppressed their cultivation bases just to come here to get rich."

"One by one, their noses are sharper than dogs. Heavens... look there, they are actually not even letting go of people's houses. Too excessive." The Captain pointed to the distance, where a few disciples were dismantling a building.

This building was very special; it was actually built with shells possessing spiritual energy.

Xu Qing's eyes narrowed. While looking over, the Captain in front suddenly rushed over, his cultivation base erupted, causing the few people dismantling the house to flicker their gazes a few times. Without hesitation, they retreated immediately and disappeared into the dark shadows without looking back.

The Captain's eyes glowed, and after arriving, he immediately dismantled and took them, his movements extremely skilled.

Xu Qing also approached rapidly, joining the dismantling, and quickly collected the shells with strong spiritual energy fluctuations one by one.

"Good stuff. Whose house is this? A small piece the size of a palm is worth more than ten spirit stones."

Xu Qing did not speak, his movements faster.

Half an incense stick later, when the two of them left, this house was already gone.

Along the way, there were quite a few places that were suddenly emptied like this, and every time the Captain saw them, his expression was indignant.

"Too excessive. These old disciples are clearly so powerful, yet they still come to compete with us children for loot!" The Captain complained, and Xu Qing looked at his face.

The Captain's age looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight.

"What are you looking at? Am I not right?" The Captain turned his head and looked at Xu Qing.

"You are not a child; I am." Xu Qing spoke calmly. This was the fourth sentence he had said since meeting the Captain.

"..." The Captain sighed.

"Deputy Captain Xu, you'd better keep silent in the future. Don't talk. By the way, remember to pay back the five thousand spirit stones you owe me." After saying this, the Captain accelerated and ran.

Xu Qing pretended not to hear, followed silently behind, and the two of them gradually got closer and closer to the fish-head area. And just as they arrived here, looking from afar at the giant pit formed by the fish eye, a loud roar suddenly came from the distance.

Amidst this loud noise, a Mermaid Clan cultivator's figure fled in the sky of the city, and a blue light flew out from behind him, instantly catching up and blasting him to death.

As the blue light dissipated, it revealed a youth with a flight talisman stuck on him.

It was the genius of the Sea Defense Department, Ding Ding Xiaohai.

Ding Ding Xiaohai's face was solemn, his eyes carrying brilliance as he searched for other Mermaid Clan members. Wherever he passed, there were Mermaid Clan corpses. Soon, he found a new target, flew toward it suddenly, and killed it instantly.

Unless it was convenient, he would not stop to search for items, as it seemed this would affect his speed of killing.

At this moment, he killed his way gradually near Xu Qing and the Captain. He did not even look at them, did not pause in the slightest, whistled past, and killed toward a team of Mermaid Clan cultivators in the distance.

His approach was completely different from the other disciples Xu Qing had seen along the way!

Others were for the sake of getting rich; he was clearly for the sake of points!

"What a good disciple. Xu Qing, have you seen? This is what a good disciple of our Seventh Blood Child should be!"

"It is precisely because of such disciples that there is the future of our Seventh Blood Child." The Captain looked admiring, and when passing by the place where Ding Ding Xiaohai was fighting, he bent his arm and clenched his fist at Ding Ding Xiaohai, posing a cheering gesture.

"Senior Brother Ding is mighty, Senior Brother Ding, add oil!"

"Senior Brother Ding, I am from the Sixth Team of the Mysterious Department of the Homicide Department, fully supporting you in competing for the first place in this grand competition and obtaining Core Disciple status!"

Ding Ding Xiaohai's expression was cold. He swept a glance at the Captain and continued to kill.

Xu Qing gazed. He saw a persistence in Ding Ding Xiaohai, a persistence in becoming number one.

The Captain sighed, lowered his head, and whispered to Xu Qing behind him.

"You'd better not learn from him. He is clearly stupid from practicing. Core Disciple status is useless. He is about to break through. Once he breaks through, he will become a Purple Robe. By then, even the Core Disciples will have to be respectful and polite to him. Why bother so hard? Does he have such a sense of belonging to the sect?"

"Everyone's choice is different. It's hard to evaluate this matter." Xu Qing looked at the Captain and said the fifth sentence.

The Captain smiled upon hearing this, pointed at Xu Qing, and was just about to speak, but in the next instant, his expression changed. Xu Qing's expression also changed, and the two of them retreated simultaneously.

Just as they retreated, the ground where they had been before roared suddenly, and four pitch-black hands actually stretched out from there. Although they grabbed empty air, powerful fluctuations erupted.

Following the collapse of the ground, two figures flew out.

These two figures wore black armor, their hair was withered, their faces clearly had many corpse spots, and the skin exposed outside was also like this. Their eyes were light red, radiating bloodlust and cruelty, and they charged directly toward Xu Qing and the Captain.

"Sea Corpse Clan!"

"Xu Qing, be careful. These two are Great Perfection of Qi Condensation of the Sea Corpse Clan. Although they are not Foundation Establishment, the Sea Corpse Clan itself is strange, surviving by absorbing foreign substances. The foreign substances in their bodies are dense, and they practice corpse poison, their physical bodies are powerful, so don't get injured too much by them."

The Captain spoke rapidly, waving his hand, and a long spear appeared in his hand, which he swept directly, swinging toward the Sea Corpse Clan cultivator who came to attack.

At the same time, on Ding Ding Xiaohai's side, the ground where he was also roared, and a third Sea Corpse Clan member appeared, killing toward Ding Ding Xiaohai.

The three of them fought their own battles immediately. Art fluctuations were intense, and amidst the echoing loud noises, Xu Qing also felt the strangeness of the Sea Corpse Clan. His full-strength punch only caused the other party to retreat a few steps, seemingly without injury.

And the dagger's sweep, for vital points like the neck, was also directly ignored by the Sea Corpse Clan.

Xu Qing had seen many alien races since coming to the Seventh Blood Child, but now it was the first time he had seen such a strange race, especially the corpse poison radiating from the other party, which made him very curious in his heart.

"Corpse poison, and my poison, who is more powerful?" ===== CHAPTER 120 =====

"Corpse poison, and my poison—which one is more formidable?"
