Chapter 75: The Enemy Bows Their Head

The Enemy Bows Their Head

Black Rift Valley.

A deep-sea behemoth of about twenty meters was incessantly ramming into the surrounding coral reefs, its spindle-shaped body thrashing wildly, its head and tail fin already covered in bloody gashes, a sharp, mournful wail issuing from its mouth.

"Agh!!!"

Rusui watched Xichong, who was caught in a Spiritual Sea Riot, with anxiety. She looked at the surrounding Whale Shark Beastmen and asked sorrowfully, "How much longer will Xichong be like this?"

The Whale Shark Elder glanced coldly at Xichong, who was in agonizing pain, and said indifferently, "Rusui, as a Female Beastman, you can wait a little longer."

"Perhaps the Leader will quiet down on his own in a moment."

Rusui watched the increasingly pained Xichong with worry, completely at a loss for what to do. She had used all the Sea Spirit Ginseng she could produce on Xichong.

But it had no effect.

"Sigh! A Male Beastman shouldn't have been made Leader."

"Having this happen every few days is just too much of a hassle."

"Exactly, exactly. Who knows when he might die, and then we'll have to choose a new Leader."

"..."

"What did you say?" Rusui looked at that Male Whale Shark Beastman with a cold, icy gaze. "Who did you say was dying?"

The Whale Shark Beastman lowered his head guiltily, retreated a few steps in fear, and hid himself among the other Beastmen.

"Alright, alright," the Whale Shark Elder urged. "Never mind him; the priority now is the Leader."

Rusui sniffled, holding back the tears welling up, her voice choked with sobs. "Okay."

"Have you found any other Sea Spirit Ginseng?"

"If not, go buy some!"

"In any case, Achong must survive."

"Yes, yes, I have already given the orders," the Whale Shark Elder replied, a stiff smile forced onto the corners of his mouth, his eyes harboring an imperceptible malice.

"Ah!"

"Clang!"

Another reef collapsed, and a deep, jagged wound was added to the Whale Shark's beautiful triangular tail fin.

"He won't survive."

A tall, sturdy Beastman walked out. His back was hunched severely, his skin was dark and wrinkled, and his face was obscured by long, deep hair, making it impossible to see his exact appearance.

"What did you say?" Rusui looked at him in disbelief, her gaze then turning fierce. "You dare curse Achong?!"

Xihang said quietly, "I am not cursing him."

"I also walked through that same stage he is in."

"Beastmen who fall at the end of Level Four are everywhere; even I barely made it through back then."

Rusui's heart sank, her straight spine suddenly slumping, her voice trembling. "Then... then what should I do?"

"How about I go back to the... the Tribe and get some Sea Spirit Ginseng for Achong."

Back when Xizhi was still around, she was generous with her wealth, and because she cared that Xichong was her only younger brother, she had sent a lot of Sea Spirit Ginseng as a dowry to the Mad Shark Tribe.

She hadn't brought those Sea Spirit Ginseng back at the time.

If she went to beg her sister now, she would give them, right?

After Rusui left, the only Female Beastman left competing for the Tribe Leader position was Ruyao.

Now, Ruyao was in charge of all the affairs of the Mad Shark Tribe.

"It's useless." Through his messy hair, Xihang watched the Whale Shark, who had lost his sanity in his frenzy, his rough voice tinged with desolation. "He has already eaten too much Sea Spirit Ginseng before."

"Now, Sea Spirit Ginseng has no use for him anymore."

The more times one takes Sea Spirit Ginseng, the weaker its effect becomes.

Like Xihang himself, he no longer takes Sea Spirit Ginseng now.

Because it is already useless.

"What?!" Rusui looked at Xihang in shock and sorrow, her voice full of despair and misery. "Do you mean Achong is bound to die?"

Xihang lowered his head and said nothing more.

"No, that can't be."

"Achong, I won't let you die!"

Rusui watched the increasingly weak Male Whale Shark, a trace of determination slowly rising in the depths of her eyes.

She had to save Achong, at any cost.

She transformed into a great white shark and swam firmly and swiftly toward the most remote and secluded corner of the Polar Sea.

That was the place she had always disdained the most.

But now, it was also Achong's only chance to live.

Looking at the Ice Cave exuding a cold, gloomy aura, Rusui stopped timidly outside the cave.

She flicked her tail fin in conflict, creating ripples in the water.

Having to beg for help from a Female Beastman who had killed her sister and even her Beast Husband's sister was more painful than being killed herself.

But this was the only way.

Achong could not afford to wait!

In an instant, a flash of determination crossed the shark's eyes. Rusui transformed into her human form and knelt heavily at the cave entrance.

"Please, save my Beast Husband!"

"I am willing to pay... any price!"

"I beg you!"

At this moment, Rusui was willing to set aside her pride and all her hatred, asking only that this Mermaid Female might show mercy and save her Beast Husband.

Humiliated and desperate tears slid from her eye sockets; she looked helplessly into the pitch-black cave, hoping that the Mermaid Female would walk out from the cave, let go of the past, and help her.

Inside the cave.

Chaosheng's chaotic mind cleared for a moment; she pushed at the Beastman acting up on her body, her voice somewhat hoarse, "Get up."

"There is a Beastman outside."

Baini slightly lifted his eyelids, then closed them again with great reluctance, continuously rubbing against the fragrant crook of her neck, his voice sticky and clinging, "Sheng..."

"Sheng..."

Chaosheng stroked his fine black hair, feeling helpless for a moment.

"I will go outside and take a look."

Yinxu's voice, sounding like music from heaven, rang out, but Chaosheng looked as if she had run into a ghost, her gaze dazed for a moment.

Oh no, she had forgotten that Yinxu was there too.

Then, hadn't he heard everything she and Baini had been doing just now?!

Chaosheng gave the heavy head on her collarbone a hard shove and closed her eyes in despair.

Outside the cave.

Yinxu saw the Beastman who had arrived clearly and narrowed his eyes in defense, "Why is it you?"

Seeing a Beastman come out, Rusui felt as if she had grabbed a straw to save her life; she hurriedly raised her head full of expectation, but her gaze stalled after seeing who it was, "Why is it you?"

"Where is Chaosheng?"

Rusui craned her neck, peering into the cave, "Why won't she come out?"

Yinxu's eyes darkened slightly, and he curled his lips into a malicious smile, "This female, don't you know what a married female does with her own Beast Husband?"

"It is very late, do not come and disturb us."

Rusui and Xichong had been married for a long time; she was not a female who knew nothing of the world.

Hearing the meaning in Yinxu's words clearly, Rusui's face flushed red, and she lowered her head unnaturally.

But for just that moment, she thought of Xichong, whose life or death was currently unknown, and she firmly raised her head again, her resolute voice containing a trace of trembling, "I... I beg you, please call her out, will you?"

"Xichong is having a Mental Sea Riot and might be about to die."

"Only she can save Xichong..."

Yinxu turned around, unconcerned, his voice indifferent, "If he dies, he dies."

"Isn't the Whale Shark Tribe specialized in treating this?"

"Just give him some Sea Spirit Ginseng and it will be fine."

He cast a cold, faint glance at Rusui's figure and scoffed, "Besides, you are a female."

"If this Beast Husband dies, just marry another one."

"Why worry about such things?"
