Chapter 1285: Punish Even If Far Away

"Eh? Teacher Er Gou, impressive, you really caught a piece of seafood!"

As the group rushed to Er Gouzi's side, Duan Jiude immediately leaned forward, looking surprised.

Although the fish was a bit small, the fact that it could evade so many people's divine sense detection proved that it had some extraordinary qualities.

"Hehe, how wise is this God Venerable? How could a mere piece of seafood evade this God Venerable's sharp eyes!" Er Gouzi immediately began to boast with an arrogant face, while swinging the small fish, proudly saying: "You shouldn't have done what you did, which was to crawl into this God Venerable's most sensitive part. Isn't this just seeking your own death?"

"Tsk... Let go of me, take away your dirty claws!" Suddenly, the small fish in Er Gouzi's hand bared its fangs, revealing sharp and dense tiny teeth, and spoke in human language, shouting angrily at Er Gouzi.

The group was shocked; this small fish actually had spiritual consciousness. It really was a case of "don't judge a fish by its appearance"—small didn't mean weak!

"Damn, who do you think you are, daring to say this God Venerable's hand is dirty? This God Venerable is even going to lick you, what can you do about it?" Er Gouzi was instantly annoyed, stuck out its long tongue, and licked the fish directly, its saliva instantly covering the fish's body!

"Holy crap!" Xu Que and Duan Jiude instantly felt goosebumps and stared wide-eyed.

Mo Junchen and Liu Jingning were also stunned for a moment, feeling a bit disgusted.

After all... this fish had been pulled out by Er Gouzi from a certain part of itself!

"Bastard, you disgusting thing, let go of me!" The small fish screamed again.

Xu Que took another look at this moment and was quite stunned; this was actually a small yellow eel as small as a caterpillar!

"Er Gouzi, do you want to check your backside again to see if there's only one fish?" Xu Que looked at Er Gouzi with a strange expression.

Er Gouzi was startled, then seemed to think of something, and suddenly slapped its own butt with a claw!

"Smack!"

A loud, crisp sound rang out, and Er Gouzi let out an "Awoo," screaming in pain, while glaring at Xu Que: "Damn, Kid, why are you lying to this God Venerable? There's absolutely no other fish there!"

"You're stupid. I told you to check, not to hit yourself!" Xu Que rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"Wait a minute, could it be that other fish have already crawled inside?" Duan Jiude speculated.

"Absolutely impossible. If there were, this God Venerable couldn't possibly not know!" Er Gouzi said with a confident face. That place was its most sensitive part; otherwise, it wouldn't have discovered this small yellow eel in the first place.

"Alright, then we can interrogate this fish and see what its background is!" Xu Que said, looking at the small yellow eel.

"Alrighty!" Er Gouzi immediately responded, turned its head, ran toward the fire from earlier, and dangled the fish above the flames, roasting it directly: "Speak quickly, what's your background? Seeing how thin you are, you must be a spy, right?"

"..." Xu Que and the others instantly had black lines on their faces.

Even the small yellow eel was stunned for a moment, finally unable to help but roar: "Let go of me, you disgusting and stupid thing! He told you to interrogate me, not to roast me! Are you sick?"

"Damn, you still dare to scold this God Venerable? This God Venerable will finish you!" Er Gouzi was instantly enraged, lowered its claw, and put the small yellow eel directly into the flames.

"Sizzle!"

Accompanied by a faint sound, wisps of white smoke rose from the small yellow eel's body.

"Ahhh!" The small yellow eel screamed, shaking its body frantically, and shouted: "Stop roasting, stop roasting, I'll talk, I'll talk!"

Upon hearing this, Er Gouzi took it out of the flames and sneered mockingly: "You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, you cheap bone!"

The small yellow eel was now completely charred, white smoke rising from its body, looking completely listless, unable to talk back to Er Gouzi at all.

Xu Que didn't want to waste any more time and asked directly: "Speak, what exactly happened in this place?"

"Heh, you... you humans are about to be destroyed. When that Lord of my Sea Race comes, you will all die. Even if you hide in this mountain valley, you won't survive!" At this moment, the small yellow eel caught its breath and shouted arrogantly again.

"So these restriction formations at the valley entrance weren't set up by you?" Xu Que frowned, staring at the small yellow eel and asking.

"Hmph, humans are insidious and cunning. Knowing that my Sea Race fears fire, you set up this Fire Element Great Array, injuring countless members of my race. But you can hide for a while, not for a lifetime. My race's vanguard army has already slaughtered its way into the Southern Continent. As for this place, when that Lord of my Sea Race comes, any restriction formation will collapse on its own!" The small yellow eel shouted loudly, full of confidence.

It revealed a lot of information, such as the fact that a part of the Sea Race's troops had already slaughtered their way toward the Southern Continent.

And before long, a powerful expert from the Sea Race would arrive. From the fact that this small yellow eel addressed the other party as "Lord," it was enough to show that the expert's status in the Sea Race was quite high, and their strength might truly not be underestimated.

"Damn, Kid, could that Lord the seafood mentioned be the powerful expert who can endanger that woman's life?" Er Gouzi immediately looked at Xu Que and asked.

Duan Jiude, Mo Junchen, and the others also looked at Xu Que.

They had been speculating that Xuan Yuan Wanrong would be in danger and implicate Xu Que, which must mean there was a powerful expert capable of harming her life. Now that this small yellow eel had revealed that a "Lord" was about to arrive, everyone subconsciously thought of this possibility!

"Why don't we just ask and find out?" Xu Que raised the corner of his mouth, looked at the small yellow eel, and asked: "What cultivation realm is that Lord of the Sea Race you mentioned?"

"Heh, ignorant human, that Lord of my race has strength that shakes the heavens and earth, and has reached an indescribable realm!" The small yellow eel boasted vigorously.

Xu Que shook his head instantly. Clearly, this little fish was just a minor character and didn't even know the realm of the person it was boasting about, yet it was shouting blindly here!

"I advise you all to release me quickly. You have no idea what role I have in staying here. If I die, it means the humans hiding in the valley have come out, and my race's main army will immediately land and invade with full force." At this moment, the small yellow eel said arrogantly.

Although its body was very small, its eyes were filled with a kind of wild arrogance and confidence, and it said with a tone of disdain: "By time, my race's vanguard army has probably already struck into the Southern Continent and is on its way back in triumph. If you don't want to die, you'd better release me now and get lost yourselves!"

"Holy crap!"

"Damn!"

Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude cursed one after another, clearly also angered by the small yellow eel's brazenness, and rolled up their sleeves, ready to deal with it.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud noise came from the distance.

Xu Que and the others were startled and looked up.

Ripples appeared in the sky, the void suddenly twisted, and black dots emerged, like ink dripping onto rice paper, slowly expanding.

Soon, dozens of black holes appeared in the sky, and a series of distant, noisy sounds came from within. Listening carefully, it seemed like a troop was running wildly, accompanied by various shouts!

"Ah!"

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

"The intelligence was wrong. How could the Southern Continent have such a troop?"

"They call themselves the Zha Tian Bang, and they are led by an eight-headed giant snake. Why didn't our Sea Race receive any clues about this before?"

"Not good, run quickly, they're catching up!"

As the words fell, a black mass of figures appeared one after another from the dozens of black holes, running wildly toward this side.

At the same time, neat and loud shouts came from behind those panicked figures—"Those who offend my Zha Tian Bang shall be punished even if they are far away!"
