Chapter 329: Rescuing the Great Elder of the Mermaid Race

Su Chen watched helplessly as the White Tiger Clan Chief rushed over with a weapon, looking fierce.

For a moment, he was a bit stunned.

Could it be that they had some other motive?

Before he could think any further, the White Tiger Clan Chief suddenly handed the weapon in his hand to Su Chen with great solemnity, bowed, and said, "You are truly too kind. If not for you, we would not have defeated Lanbo, and the entire Western Wasteland would not have been restored to its original state."

So that was it; it was just a thank-you gift.

Su Chen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth as he looked at the strange, unidentifiable bone in front of him and tentatively reached out to take it.

"Thank you. Everything Lanbo did was heinous; being able to eliminate it from the entire Western Wasteland can be considered acting on behalf of the Heavenly Dao."

Su Chen continued, "As for the entire Western Wasteland, it was not just me, but also the help of the Dragon Race."

He answered neither humbly nor arrogantly, not becoming proud or complacent like an ordinary person who had achieved a small merit, especially since this great deed Su Chen had done was something an ordinary person might not be able to accomplish in a lifetime.

Thinking of this, the others couldn't help but admire Su Chen even more.

Although he was young, this temperament was truly beyond what ordinary people could compare to.

Thinking of this, the Spirit Beasts, whether they had seen Su Chen before or not, all successively handed the gifts they had prepared to Su Chen.

Sometimes Spirit Beasts express their thoughts very simply; if they like Su Chen, they are exceptionally enthusiastic.

The small Su Chen was instantly surrounded and blocked off, surrounded by various strange-looking Spirit Beasts; some Spirit Beasts had not yet fully transformed and still retained the basic characteristics of beasts, and some were completely twice the size of Su Chen.

Seeing Su Chen so popular, the Dragons smiled with great gratification; he was worthy of being their master.

Seeing that there were truly too many gifts and that Su Chen was having trouble coping, the several Elders hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Su Chen is a human after all, and there is no way for him to carry so many things at once. You can just hand these things over to us."

The four Elders casually called over some Dragons and began to prepare to receive the gifts, all set and ready.

For some reason, such a scene looked inexplicably comical, and Su Chen had a thousand thoughts in his mind.

Having seen too much of human treachery and ingratitude, the simple and honest appearance of these Spirit Beasts now really made him feel quite emotional.

Xiaoxian stood beside Su Chen, watching him in a daze. Seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, she gently reached out and hooked Su Chen's finger.

Su Chen subconsciously looked at Xiaoxian, only to see Xiaoxian blink mischievously and whisper, "Are you tired, Master? I missed you so much."

"Not tired."

Su Chen couldn't help but smile. Looking at Xiaoxian's innocent appearance, he only felt a softness in his heart.

"By the way, all who come are guests. I still have some Heavenly Dao Fruits and Pills here; distribute them to them all."

Su Chen looked at the Great Elder standing not far away and casually handed over two Space Rings.

Ao Hong immediately nodded excitedly. If he had previously felt that Su Chen was wealthy and imposing, now he was completely used to it.

What's more, what those Spirit Beasts did today made them feel very happy as well, so these little things were insignificant; their Dragon Race even gave out some treasures unique to their own clan.

The Western Wasteland, which had been divided for hundreds of thousands of years, was united for the first time, and Spirit Beasts, whether of noble or lowly bloodlines, were all together in harmony.

"The things in the other Storage Ring are for the other Dragon Race soldiers. They fought too hard in this battle, and I never had the chance to give them any rewards. You see the situation and distribute some to them," Su Chen said to the Great Elder.

Ao Hong immediately nodded, unable to help but sigh in his heart: Su Chen is truly good to his own people. Although his cultivation is a bit low, he is young, and his future will surely be limitless in time.

They were very grateful that they had finally found a master who not only solved the crisis in the Western Wasteland but even made it happier than before.

After handling these matters, Su Chen finally thought of looking for Luo Shen.

After all, the matter of the Mermaid Race Great Elder had not been properly dealt with. He had been called away temporarily just now, and he didn't know how things were now; it was time to go and see.

Xiaoxian and Su Chen arrived at Luo Shen's residence together. At this moment, the Mermaid Race Great Elder was sitting on the bed, covered in wounds.

"How is he? Is there any way to remove the steel bars from him?"

Su Chen smiled at Luo Shen and went straight to the point.

Luo Shen couldn't help but frown upon hearing this.

"His situation is not very optimistic. These steel bars are spread across almost all the acupoints on his body. If we want to pull them out by force, I'm afraid it will damage his foundation. The only way now... I'm afraid it will require Xiaoxian and Natasha together."

After Luo Shen finished speaking, she then let her gaze fall on Xiaoxian, revealing a gentle smile.

The reason they had delayed taking action was that Aoweisi's current situation was very complicated. If they acted rashly, he would likely bleed to death, and even if the situation were better, he would become a cripple.

Xiaoxian had already heard about Aoweisi on the way. Now that she saw the person himself in such pain and knew she could help, she immediately agreed without hesitation.

"What can I do? Just tell me whatever needs to be done."

There was some urgency in Xiaoxian's tone.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that the material of those steel bars is special, and pulling them out might injure the Great Elder. I want you to use your flames to melt the steel bars, and then Natasha can take the opportunity to use the power of the Universe Pearl to repair Aoweide's body."

Luo Shen revealed a gentle smile, signaling to Xiaoxian not to worry too much.

"After melting, will it have any effect if these steel bars remain trapped in the Great Elder's body?"

Su Chen couldn't help but raise his own question upon hearing this.

Luo Shen had long guessed that he would be puzzled, so she smiled slightly and then continued.

"The material of these steel bars is special, and ordinary flames cannot melt them, but Xiaoxian's flames are different. Using the Universe Pearl, they can be transformed. Over time, these steel bars will naturally be consumed within the Great Elder's body."

Luo Shen's words instantly put everyone's hanging hearts back into their stomachs.

Aoweisi had traveled a long distance, and although Su Chen had carried him on his back, it had still aggravated the wounds on his body.

Now he was covered in blood, but he still asked for a set of clothes, striving to make himself look clean and tidy.

In the past, when the Mermaid Race was very powerful, he had rarely seen the true Dragon Race. Now that he had come here, he subconsciously did not want to make Su Chen lose face.

"It's just that this process must be rapid. The moment Xiaoxian melts the steel bars, Natasha must summon the Universe Pearl."

Luo Shen turned her gaze to Natasha again.
