The Secret Exposed

Thinking of this, the Beastmen looked at the Dogtooth Fish Female sitting on the ground, their eyes filled with a bit more disgust and hatred.

Chaosheng saw that the timing was about right and looked at these Beastmen with a calm expression.

"The place where the Hui Fish Beastmen work is in the Black Rift Valley near the Whale Shark Tribe."

"Sea Spirit Ginseng grows in the rift valley, but it is teeming with Black Filth; if one stays inside for a few days, the Black Filth enters the body, and naturally, the Mental Sea will riot, leading to death."

"The Whale Shark Tribe cannot bear to see their own tribesmen suffer such agony, so they find many Beastmen to harvest the Sea Spirit Ginseng in the Black Rift Valley."

"The Hui Fish Beastmen are among them."

"You're lying!" The Dogtooth Fish looked at Chaosheng in a panic, her eyes darting around guiltily, "Where could such a bizarre place exist?!"

Damn it, how does this lowly Mermaid know even this?!

"It was clearly you who did it!"

"Stop trying to pin this on the Whale Shark Tribe!"

But this time, the other Beastmen did not listen to her words again; Baini was quite right, if they had really killed them, they would have just admitted it.

These Beastmen could do nothing to them anyway; let alone the death of a Hui Fish Beastman, even if this Mermaid wanted to wipe out their Tribe, what could they do?!

What's more, this Dogtooth Fish Female had told them that as long as they drove this outsider Mermaid away, the Whale Shark Tribe could sell them Sea Spirit Ginseng at half the original price.

It was certainly impossible for the Dogtooth Fish Female to have no collusion with the Whale Shark Tribe.

"Is what you said true?" a Male Beastman asked tremblingly, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

If they could also find Sea Spirit Ginseng... even if the Whale Shark Tribe was guarding it, what of it? Every plan has a flaw, and there was always a possibility.

"Of course." Chaosheng's voice was ethereal and pleasant, her unhurried pace of speech revealing a sense of firmness, "Whether it is true or not, you will know at a glance."

"However... Sea Spirit Ginseng cannot be eaten indiscriminately."

Chaosheng spoke cryptically; she could more or less guess the thoughts of these Beastmen.

That Sea Spirit Ginseng was a rare commodity now, wasn't it because other Beastmen couldn't find it at all and could only trade with the Whale Shark Tribe?

Now that there was a chance to find Sea Spirit Ginseng, how could they possibly give up?

That's right, for Beastmen, this Sea Spirit Ginseng was also a slow-acting poison.

Sure enough, the Beastmen looked at one another, all with expressions of surprise, not caring at all about that one sentence from Chaosheng.

"Really?"

"Can we really find Sea Spirit Ginseng?"

"Let's go take a look; it won't cost us anything."

"Besides, there's no reason for her to play us for fools, right?"

The Beastmen conferred and decided to go find the place Chaosheng mentioned together.

The Beastmen hurried away, leaving only the Dogtooth Fish Female sitting on the ground.

"Still not leaving?" Baini opened his mouth at her, and a huge current surged over, successfully scaring the Dogtooth Fish Female into a shiver, baring her clean, sharp tiger teeth, "Do you want me to send you off?"

"No, no, no need." The Dogtooth Fish Female scrambled to her feet and swam outward.

Her greasy face was full of malice; just wait, when she went back, she would tell the Sea God, tell her that a Male Beastman dared to defy her will and dared to harm a Female Beastman!

"Mermaid Female, you were so amazing just now." Guxian's pale face flushed with a hint of red, his eyes moist as he looked at Chaosheng with admiration.

"Sheng!" The large Orca's eyes paused, and he hurriedly transformed into his human form, swam to Chaosheng's side, and then looked at this posturing Beastman with unkind eyes, "Saying these things now, where were you just a moment ago?!"

Then he turned his head and looked at the little Mermaid with a wronged expression, "Sheng, was I cool just now?"

Chaosheng smiled helplessly, her eyes flickering, "Cool!"

"Hmph!" Baini snorted haughtily, raised his chin, and said confidently, "With me here, those Beastmen can't bully you!"

"Mm, that's right." Chaosheng coaxed Baini as if he were a child; it was very childish, but also very cute.

"Ha!" Honglianlian quietly poked her head out of the Ice Cave; hearing the commotion, Chaosheng, Guxian, and Baini all turned to look.

Being stared at by the three Beastmen in unison, Honglianlian smiled awkwardly and explained to Chaosheng: "Sorry about that."

"In that situation just now, it wasn't easy for me to step forward."

She fidgeted with her fingers in a tangled, guilty manner, keeping her head down and not looking at Chaosheng at all.

She naturally wanted to help Chaosheng, but she couldn't blindly take sides; the other Beastmen's intentions were unclear, and if she blindly took sides and implicated her Tribe, that would be bad.

Chaosheng smiled, looking at the nervous and uneasy Honglianlian with gentle eyes, "It's okay."

"I am already very happy that you thought of coming to help me."

"Really?" Honglianlian raised her head, bit her lip, and asked uncertainly.

After receiving Chaosheng's affirmative answer, she became happy, "I knew it, Chaosheng, you are so kind."

Honglianlian rushed over happily, excited to give Chaosheng a big hug.

But she was stopped by two unkind gazes; Honglianlian looked at the two Beastmen behind Chaosheng who were like guardian deities and rolled her eyes in disdain.

It was one thing for that black-haired one to glare at her, but why was this red-haired one glaring at her? She remembered that Chaosheng's other Beast Husband was the Ice Bear Yinxu, right?

Who is this Beastman?

Why does he have the right to glare at her?

Thinking of this, Honglianlian glared back without showing any weakness, tch!

Black Rift Valley.

The Whale Shark Elder, who was so sleepy he was about to doze off not far from the Black Rift Valley, suddenly sat up.

The commotion of over a hundred Beastmen, large and small, swimming over was not small.

"What is the situation here?" the Whale Shark Elder asked sternly.

The two Beastmen standing next to him also shook their heads with blank expressions, "We... we don't know."

"Trash!" Elder Whale Shark cursed fiercely, intending to get up and check the situation.

But before he could even go, over a hundred Beastmen had already arrived.

"That looks like a rift valley..."

"Hey, it really is!"

"We found it! We found it!"

"This is that Black Rift Valley!"

"Hahaha, let's hurry over and see if there really is Sea Spirit Ginseng!"

Elder Whale Shark's pupils shook in shock; how did these Beastmen know about this place?

"Quick, quick..." Elder Whale Shark shoved the Beastman beside him, "Go, go, go stop them!"

"This... this..." The Beastman looked at the vast, surging crowd of Beastmen, too troubled to even speak clearly.

The Beastmen harvesting Sea Spirit Ginseng up and down inside the Black Rift Valley heard the commotion and stopped numbly, looking at this group of strangers.

Tortured to the point of exhaustion and numbness, with brains no longer able to think or turn, the Beastmen paused in the sea-air like blocks of wood.

"Look, the thing in their hands is the Sea Spirit Ginseng!"

"This is it, let's hurry and harvest the Sea Spirit Ginseng!"

As soon as the words fell, the Beastmen jumped into the Black Rift Valley one after another, ignoring what Chaosheng had said about the Black Filth in the rift valley polluting the Mental Sea.

They comforted themselves, thinking it would be fine to go just once.

Once they had the Sea Spirit Ginseng, they would naturally be able to cleanse this filth.

"Ah! My Sea Spirit Ginseng!"

Elder Whale Shark watched this scene with eyes splitting in rage, "Kill them for me!"

"We cannot let them snatch away our Sea Spirit Ginseng!"
