Chapter 278

Weijing was caught off guard and suffered a devastating blow; he felt as if his internal organs were about to be shattered, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and his face turned as pale as paper.

Lanbo, however, remained completely unmoved, sitting directly on the throne high above, looking down at Weijing from his superior position.

"Ant, whatever you want to tell this seat, you had better say it quickly; if you waste time, this seat has no patience to keep you company."

After Lanbo finished speaking, he looked at the patterns on the throne with boredom, his face carrying a languid expression, not feeling at all that this ordinary ant could say anything useful.

To think he disturbed his sleep; how should he punish him later? Drain all his blood to feed the bats?

Or just lock him in a cage to fight to the death?

As soon as Weijing heard this, his fear of death reached its peak; he scrambled to his feet in a panic and said with the fastest speed of his life: "Great King, it is like this: recently, a few humans have come to the Western Wasteland with very high cultivation levels. If the Great King can eat them, it will surely be very nourishing."

"Oh?"

Lanbo raised his eyebrows with interest; he did not expect this ordinary Mermaid Race youth to actually be able to say something useful.

He had recently grown tired of eating those useless Spirit Beasts, but since Spirit Beasts were rampant in the Western Wasteland, he rarely encountered humans; the last time he ate a human was several hundred years ago.

Now that there was such a rare delicacy, he naturally did not want to miss it.

Thinking of this, Lanbo asked with a smile: "Where are the humans you spoke of now? Tell me what benefits you want for this."

"They are currently within our Mermaid Race. That human did not come alone; he is followed by many cultivators with high cultivation levels. It looks like they came with a purpose."

Weijing's brain had stopped turning, and he blurted out everything he wanted to say.

"They even occupied the High Priest of our Mermaid Race; it is simply inhumane, and the things they have done are atrocious."

Speaking to the end, Weijing accused them with great indignation.

Clearly, they were both of the Mermaid Race; the High Priest should have married someone from the Mermaid Race. Why should a human be allowed to snatch her away?

Hearing this, Lanbo could not help but laugh softly.

One must know that the Mermaid Race had a highly respected Elder, and that cultivation level had made him crave it for a long time.

It was just that the Mermaid Race seemed to have sensed his intentions later, so they hid; plus, they had the Universe Pearl and a fishy smell on them, so Lanbo had no time to look for them for the time being.

Now it seemed that it had been obtained without any effort.

He could take the opportunity to wipe out both the Mermaid Race and those humans in one fell swoop.

Thinking this way, Lanbo was in a great mood, and even looking at the ant in front of him seemed a bit more pleasing to the eye.

"Since that is the case, then you lead the way, take this seat there, and kill that human. When the time comes, the benefits you want, this seat will naturally not shortchange you."

Lanbo said casually.

He was now counting on this Mermaid Race member to lead the way for him; once they arrived, he would kill him directly, leaving no evidence behind.

"Now? But isn't there still a few days until the Blood Moon Night..."

Weijing felt very excited when he heard this, feeling that the human would die in the next second.

But he was also a little curious why Lanbo was so impatient; besides, it was not the Blood Moon Night now, could Lanbo defeat those people?

Lanbo was already impatient upon hearing his words.

Although it was not the fixed Blood Moon Night, he could forcibly reverse time, though his cultivation would be slightly weakened.

But his cultivation could be said to be invincible throughout the entire Tianxuan Continent; if it were not for the fact that his master had given him orders to stay in the Western Wasteland, he would not have to rack his brains every day to eat these raw-meat-and-blood-drinking Spirit Beasts.

"You don't need to worry about that; you just need to be responsible for leading the way."

Lanbo said coldly.

With a casual wave of his hand, a Blood Moon suddenly appeared in the sky that had previously been pitch black. That moon radiated an evil, blood-red light, looking exceptionally sinister.

At the same time, the entire sky darkened rapidly, leaving only blood-red thunderclouds.

And the Spirit Beasts all over the Western Wasteland saw the strange phenomenon in the sky, and one by one they were so frightened that they lost their wits and immediately prepared to flee.

"It's the Blood Moon Night! That great demon has come."

"Run!"

"Isn't there still seven days left? Why has the Blood Moon Night arrived?"

All the Spirit Beasts in the Western Wasteland fell into a state of agitation.

And at this very moment, Su Chen and Natasha had finally reached the end after several days.

Natasha realized only belatedly that Su Chen was actually the legendary Flame Sun Sacred Body! This not only had a multiplier effect on the transformation of the Universe Pearl, but the union of the two also greatly improved her cultivation.

Seeing that Natasha was still unsatisfied and wanted to go a few more times, even though he was almost exhausted into a dried fish, she still clung to Su Chen and would not let go.

Su Chen's keen intuition sensed some changes outside; regardless of whether it was true or not, the current environment did not allow them to continue to indulge.

"Natasha, check what realm your cultivation is at now, and how is the Universe Pearl in your body?"

Su Chen said sternly.

Once the serious matter was mentioned, Natasha could only temporarily suppress the desire in her heart. A look at this was no small matter; after these few days of Dual Cultivation, her cultivation had actually directly advanced to the Great Saint Realm Peak!

Not only that, the Spiritual Power of the Universe Pearl could also be used by her; although it could not be completely transformed, it was equivalent to her Life Spirit Tool.

Natasha told Su Chen all this with an excited expression, her eyes sparkling.

She would no longer be a burden to them in the future; not only that, she could also help her master in the future!

Hearing this, Su Chen could not help but stroke Natasha's head.

"The vast Spiritual Power of the Universe Pearl cannot be successfully transformed in a short time. It has now become your Life Spirit Tool for you to command; you will use it more and more smoothly in the future."

Su Chen grinned and said with a smile.

Natasha nodded earnestly at once.

At this moment, a knocking sound suddenly came from outside the door.

"Master, it's bad, the Blood Moon Night has come!"

Lv Luo's voice came from outside the door.

Su Chen's pupils shrank slightly; how could this be? There were clearly still several days until the Blood Moon Night.

The two hurriedly tidied their clothes and walked out.

Entering the Mermaid Race hall, almost the entire race was gathered here; the Patriarch Aoweide had a grave face, his expression tense.

Seeing Su Chen arrive, he then slowly said, "Are there any other merfolk who have not yet arrived?"

Hearing these words, the merfolk present looked at one another, and suddenly someone said, "Patriarch, Weijing, Weijing is missing!"

As soon as those words were spoken, the others also followed up in agreement.

"That's right, that's right, we haven't seen him for several days now."

"What do we do now? It is the Blood Moon Night, we cannot go out to look for him."
