406. Chapter 406: Barbarian Tribe Traitor

Luo Shen looked in the direction Su Chen was pointing and saw two people embracing and kissing passionately.

There were many others nearby doing the same without a care for those around them; they were practically stripping off their clothes to entangle with one another.

Luo Shen instantly blushed and buried herself in Su Chen's arms.

Seeing this scene, Xiaoxian couldn't help but drool with envy; how wonderful it would be if she were the one in Su Chen's arms.

After all, it had been a long time since she had been nourished by Su Chen.

For now, she could only turn her sorrow and indignation into appetite, frantically stuffing food into her mouth.

Yi Zhuyue and Ziwei Xianzi also looked at Su Chen with eager expressions, envying Luo Shen for being able to be held in Su Chen's arms so openly.

Meanwhile, in the shadows, a man stared fixedly at Su Chen.

"Xiaoqiu, didn't you say during the day that there were no Sea Clan sightings over there?"

As soon as Meng Huo saw Xiaoqiu, his face instantly darkened. "I looked for you during the day, didn't see a shadow of you all day, and now you finally know how to show up."

Xiaoqiu immediately put on a fawning expression, nodding and bowing incessantly.

"It was all an accident, Chief. When I went there before, there really wasn't anyone, but I don't know why, that group of Sea Clan suddenly appeared."

Speaking of this, Xiaoqiu hurriedly slapped himself twice. "It's all my fault. If I had been more cautious, this kind of mistake wouldn't have happened."

Meng Huo couldn't help but snort coldly. Now that Su Chen was away, he also exerted the dignity belonging to a chief.

"Because of your mistake today, our tribe almost lost quite a few elites. Fortunately, nothing happened; if something had really gone wrong, your life wouldn't be enough to compensate," Meng Huo said coldly.

Xiaoqiu's face twisted for a moment. He cursed inwardly at this old fossil, thinking he didn't have much strength but certainly knew how to put on airs.

But on the surface, he still wore a very apologetic expression.

"I'm sorry, Chief. I will definitely find a way."

Xiaoqiu couldn't help but say, nodding and bowing endlessly, looking quite like a pug.

"Forget it, forget it. The movements of the Sea Clan are unpredictable. In the future, when you look at information, you must be careful, careful, and even more cautious. As for today's mistake, you will be responsible for tending to the livestock in the tribe."

Meng Huo waved his hand casually. As the saying goes, one does not strike a smiling face.

Since Xiaoqiu's attitude in admitting his mistake was so sincere, Meng Huo couldn't say much else and could only give a minor punishment as a warning.

Xiaoqiu agreed hurriedly, but the expression on his face was extremely gloomy.

Waiting until Meng Huo left, the expression on Xiaoqiu's face changed several times, finally settling into one of utter disdain.

He observed his surroundings, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he left with peace of mind.

He tiptoed his way to the seaside.

The seaside at night looked exceptionally calm and tranquil, with no Sea Clan present.

He crawled on the ground, his facial expression becoming twisted, his limbs splaying out at strange angles, and the hair on his body began to change color, the whole person taking on a seaweed-like green.

A perfectly normal person had actually turned into a sea turtle in the end.

Once Xiaoqiu turned into a sea turtle, he couldn't wait to head to the seabed and swim toward the palace of the Nine Nether Serpent.

Upon reaching the entrance, he announced himself and then swam inside. But before he could even see the figure of the Nine Nether Serpent, a Water Blade swept toward him.

Xiaoqiu couldn't dodge in time and was struck head-on, even having his turtle shell flipped over.

He struggled for a long time but couldn't return to his original form.

Unable to get up, he simply gave up and could only look at the slowly appearing Nine Nether Serpent with a fawning expression.

The Nine Nether Serpent was just as his name suggested, a sea snake that grew in the deepest parts of the seabed. He owed his current position largely to the help of others.

Before this, he was at most a sea snake with some strength, but later he met Youji Nuhuang, and his status naturally rose with the tide; he handled many matters on behalf of Youji Nuhuang.

As for Xiaoqiu, he was a sea turtle that had lived for tens of thousands of years. Although his own strength was mediocre, because his lifespan was extended, his cultivation had accumulated to a decent level, and he could take on human form, which was why he was sent by the Nine Nether Serpent to be a mole in the Barbarian Tribe.

By using the information he gained about the Sea Clan's locations, Xiaoqiu helped the Barbarian Tribe avoid many Sea Clan disturbances, and thus he successfully gained trust within the Barbarian Tribe.

Today, they had originally planned to use this opportunity to drag the Barbarian Tribe's strong men back into the sea and thoroughly cripple the Barbarian Tribe, but they didn't expect to be intercepted by strangers.

The Nine Nether Serpent got furious just thinking about it and kicked Xiaoqiu directly.

Xiaoqiu was forced to spin around, and using brute force, it took him a long time to stand up.

But even after standing up, Xiaoqiu didn't dare look the Nine Nether Serpent in the eye, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing incessantly.

"Spare me, Lord Serpent! Spare me, Lord Serpent! Today's events were all an accident!"

Xiaoqiu's voice was choked with sobs, terrified to the extreme.

The Nine Nether Serpent looked at his pathetic state and couldn't help but snort coldly.

"You are living quite comfortably in the Barbarian Tribe now, with them serving you good food and drink, making you have wild fantasies. Have you forgotten who you are? Don't forget, you are one of the Sea Clan."

The Nine Nether Serpent subconsciously blamed today's mistake on Xiaoqiu.

It must have been this Xiaoqiu who played some tricks today; otherwise, with that group of useless people in the Barbarian Tribe, they would never have been able to escape his plan.

Thinking of how he had been scolded bloody by Youji Nuhuang, the Nine Nether Serpent was filled with rage.

"It's all a misunderstanding, Lord Serpent! You don't know, today it was almost a success, but I don't know where a group of strangers came from. They clearly weren't people from Nanman, and they directly saved that group of barbarians. I couldn't beat them at the time, so I secretly went back to gather intelligence."

Xiaoqiu's face was full of fawning smiles, but when he mentioned Su Chen and the others, his face was full of indignation, as if he wanted to kill Su Chen the next second.

Hearing this, the Nine Nether Serpent became interested.

After all, it had been a long time since any outsiders had come to Nanman.

Thinking of this, the Nine Nether Serpent couldn't help but ask: "What do those people you mentioned look like? Do they have any specific characteristics? Tell me everything you know."

Xiaoqiu nodded hurriedly, recalled carefully, and then continued: "The leader is a man who looks like a pretty boy, but his cultivation is profound. He also has many women with him—I didn't see exactly how many—but they are all very powerful and have many treasures on them."

Hearing this, the Nine Nether Serpent couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and a bad premonition instantly rose from the bottom of his heart.

"What does that man you mentioned look like? Roughly how old is he? Does he have a Martial Soul?"

Xiaoqiu was still a bit confused when he heard this, but facing the Nine Nether Serpent's terrifying gaze, he could only bite the bullet and say: "He looks quite young, like a pretty boy. His clothing looks very luxurious, not like a local. As for a Martial Soul, I don't know; I haven't seen him use one." (End of chapter)
