Serpent Ancestor

Chapter 281: Grilled eel, a heavenly delicacy

Outside the island, in the sea.

Hai Meng stared at the island ahead, which was constantly shaking, and gasped in shock, "What a terrifying commotion. Why do I have a bad feeling about this?"

She had followed Lei Man's orders all the way here, not letting any creature escape, but it seemed Lei Man had run into big trouble and couldn't even protect himself.

"Elder sister, what should we do?"

The other three sea serpents hesitated.

"How should I know?"

Hai Meng gritted her teeth. She also wanted to avenge her brother and take down that damned horned serpent.

After a brief moment of contemplation, she steeled her heart, took out a snake scale, and flung it into the depths of the sea.

Calling for family support was only to be used in emergencies, but for revenge, she didn't hesitate to use it.

…………

At this moment.

After enduring a barrage of attacks, Lei Man had used a pile of protective magical treasures, even resorting to his ultimate moves, yet he was still severely injured, his life hanging by a thread.

He finally realized that the formations and traps on this island were not set by one person but by three.

He had been tricked, and badly!

Even more absurd was that the three parties seemed not to know each other and were wary of one another. He was merely passing by and accidentally became the target of everyone's concentrated fire.

"Fellow Daoist, it's a misunderstanding! I just accidentally intruded here, with no ill intentions. Please let me leave!"

Lei Man's body was stiff, his breath weak, as he anxiously shouted at Tianji Shangren, who was looking down from the sky.

At this moment, countless formations were suspended above him, various trapping formations, dragon-locking formations, and pitfall formations, surrounding him so tightly that he couldn't move.

Tianji Shangren and Han Te were both watching him from a distance, their expressions not looking good.

Xu Hei was also hiding in his cave dwelling, staring at Lei Man with a ruthless look in his eyes.

"Alright! I never kill, you may leave."

Tianji Shangren nodded and waved his hand, releasing the three sealing formations.

"Thank you! Thank you, fellow Daoist!"

Lei Man, as if granted amnesty, breathed a long sigh of relief and got up to leave.

But just as he let his guard down, Tianji Shangren cast another spell, and the sealing formations instantly transformed into a guillotine that fell with lightning speed, leaving a slash on his back, nearly cutting him in half.

"Ah!!"

Lei Man screamed miserably, slashed to the ground, triggering several more landmines that exploded with a burst of blood and a heartrending wail.

Xu Hei remained expressionless as the Blood Killing Sword flew out, slashing Lei Man relentlessly.

"You despicable scoundrels, worse than pigs and dogs, you'll all die horribly!"

Lei Man howled in despair, his voice filled with hatred and hopelessness.

He regretted it, regretted coming to this damned place, regretted encountering such unreasonable people.

"Who taught you those lines? Demonic beasts don't talk like that!" Tianji Shangren said indifferently.

He originally didn't want to get involved, but this demonic beast was clearly ruthless and vengeful, letting it go would lead to future troubles, so he decided to eliminate it completely.

Lei Man's voice was miserable as he cursed, "Old bastard, purple-headed man, and that beast, you're all finished. Dare to kill me, you'll all die!"

With a thought, he spat out a mouthful of soul blood, imprinting the images of the three figures before him into the soul blood.

Han Te cursed, "What does this have to do with me? You stepped on it yourself, I didn't do anything!"

"Whoosh!"

Lei Man didn't care, the soul blood shot out at an incredible speed, traversing the void, about to fly away, unstoppable by any formation.

Everyone's expressions changed simultaneously.

But in the next second, the drop of soul blood suddenly froze in mid-air, as if attracted by something.

Then, the soul blood flew back, swallowed by a dog's head.

"Soul blood is such a precious thing, don't waste it," Hei Huang said with a smile, patting his belly contentedly.

"What?!"

Lei Man was dumbfounded as if struck by lightning.

Where did this dog's head come from?

Would it ever end?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

And judging by the expressions of the other two, it seemed they didn't know this dog's head either.

"Recently, I've been feeling a bit weak, wanted to eat some seafood to replenish," Hei Huang's eyes glowed red as he stared at the sea eel.

"You want to eat me, just you?"

Lei Man's sinister gaze swept around, scanning the four figures surrounding him.

Though he was at his wit's end, as a strong cultivator at the Demon Core Stage, he could still take down these low-level beings in a desperate counterattack. If he was going to die, he'd take them with him. Did they really think he was easy prey?

Moments later—

Lei Man lay in a large pit, lifeless, surrounded by shattered space, the entire island in ruins.

Just before Lei Man's death, an illusory figure emerged from his body, glanced at everyone, but was swallowed by Hei Huang in less than a second.

The identity of that figure was unknown, but its true form was definitely an Elemental Infant stage cultivator.

Everyone looked at each other, eyes wide, the atmosphere unusually silent.

"This has nothing to do with me, farewell!"

Tianji Shangren didn't want to linger for a moment, quickly returning to the pavilion and leaving with the three people inside, stepping on clouds, swiftly retreating.

"You can't escape, you were part of killing this eel too!" Han Te shouted.

"I've transferred the karma to you, even the cave dwelling on the island is yours, it has nothing to do with me," Tianji Shangren said.

At this moment, Han Te could clearly feel that all the formations set up on the island were connected to his mind and could be controlled at will.

And at the center of the island, there was a pavilion cave dwelling, also within his control range, rich in spiritual energy, a spiritual eye.

"Old bastard, you'll die horribly!" Han Te cursed.

Tianji Shangren had already gone far, disappearing from sight.

And in that brief moment of distraction.

Hei Huang had already set up a fire, cutting Lei Man into small pieces, with one piece roasting over the fire, sprinkled with cumin, sea salt, chili, and other seasonings, sizzling with oil.

"Damn it, I'm so unlucky, why is this happening to me?" Han Te roared.

"Stop shouting, why not have a bite," Hei Huang laughed.

At this moment, Xu Hei also crawled closer, squatting by the fire pit, staring at the roasting eel meat.

The energy in this eel meat was far richer than the whale in the trench.

Although the whale's cultivation was higher, most of it had been taken by others, leaving only scraps, while this eel was full of essence, a single bite could send one soaring, even the oil dripping from the roast was rich in spiritual energy.

Especially that Great Perfection Golden Core...

"Huh?"

Xu Hei glanced at the corpse, the Golden Core inside the eel was nowhere to be found.

"Old dog, where's the Golden Core?"

"Huh? It's gone, did that old Taoist take it? It must be, damn old Taoist, stealing our stuff!" Hei Huang cursed.

Xu Hei was immune to such low-level lies by now. That old Taoist had just said it had nothing to do with him, why would he take the Golden Core? This old dog was too shameless.

At this moment, Xu Hei's gaze shifted to the distant sea.

Beneath the sea, many powerful auras suddenly appeared, coming from different directions, seemingly in a standoff.
