Chapter 318: Mysterious Island_1
The next second, the Deepsea Devil Whale King plunged directly into the depths below the sea surface!
Just as Chu Qin was preparing to pursue further, he discovered that the presence of the Deepsea Devil Whale King had vanished!
The Deepsea Devil Whale King had slipped away, and with extreme speed at that, leaving no opportunity for Chu Qin to give chase!
Chu Qin employed his psychic power to search the area, only to find that the aura of the Deepsea Devil Whale King was truly gone!
At the same time, the dense clouds that had filled the sky also scattered at this moment, with sunlight once again shining down on the vast ocean, as if nothing had happened!
But everyone was certain, that soul beast had truly been there!
"The soul beast’s aura, it’s disappeared!" Even so, Zi Ji frowned as she spoke.
"What, what kind of soul beast is this, how could it be so powerful?" The Nine Demoness exclaimed in surprise. Just now, even their combined efforts of the six had failed to stop the charge of the Deepsea Devil Whale King!
The rest of the women were equally astonished. Although they were under the protection of the Six Great Beast Kings, the aura emanating from that soul beast had nearly suffocated them!
"Could it be, it’s that Deep Sea Overlord?" Hulena’s face turned serious as she spoke.
"The Deep Sea Overlord? You mean the 990,000-Year Soul Beast that Chu Qin mentioned?" Qian Renxue followed up.
"Yes, that’s right, it’s him!" After confirming that the Deepsea Devil Whale King had gone far away, Chu Qin retracted his Martial Soul Soul Rings and turned back to them.
"Ah, we’re just going to let it go like that?" Qian Renxue said somewhat unwillingly. A 990,000-Year Soul Beast, not to mention how strong the Soul Ring would be, the soul bone would certainly be the cream of the crop!
"Yeah, why don’t we give chase?" You Ji suggested.
"If we didn’t stop it right away, it will be difficult to find it in the vast ocean! But no worries, it can’t escape!" Chu Qin said with a smirk on his face.
Let’s not forget, one of the challenges of the Sea God’s test was to kill the Deepsea Devil Whale King, and as long as Chu Qin participated in the test, this Deepsea Devil Whale King was destined to become one of his Soul Rings!
"Bi Ji, You Ji, Nine Demoness, Ah Yin, Aunt Mei Wu, Zi Ji, you all take turns keeping watch over the sea surface, stay alert. The moment the Deepsea Devil Whale King reappears, immediately inform me!" Chu Qin instructed the women.
"Okay!" All the women nodded in agreement.
After repelling the Deepsea Devil Whale King, Chu Qin and the rest continued sailing on the sea. Initially like their journey towards Sky Water City, they would soon reach Sea God Island with Zi Ji and the Azure Dragon providing transport.
However, their intention had been to travel, to enjoy the splendid time on the ocean, and moreover, Chu Qin still had to track down Purple Pearl to complete the dual Goddess Missions!
Along the way, Chu Qin and his companions kept an eye out for traces of the Deepsea Devil Whale King, but this overlord of the sea seemed to have been frightened by Chu Qin, as no shadow of it was seen again.
At this time, Chu Qin and his group arrived in front of a few sparse islands.
On those islands, one could clearly see some wooden houses!
"Chu Qin, is this Sea God Island?" Qian Renxue asked curiously as she looked at the islands ahead.
Chu Qin denied Qian Renxue’s question.
Not to mention that Sea God Island was extraordinarily large in size, Chu Qin also knew that around Sea God Island there were Devil Soul Great White Sharks guarding it.
Here, without a single Devil Soul Great White Shark in sight, it was clearly not Sea God Island.
"This island isn’t marked on the map!" Su Jin checked the map and spoke, "Chu Qin, should we land on the island?"
"Yeah, Chu Qin, let’s go check out the island and see if there are any fresh carrots. The carrots on the boat are no longer fresh!" Xiaowu said delightedly.
"Land!"
Chu Qin’s eyebrows raised slightly. He remembered from the original story that the Zi Zhenzhu Pirate Group wasn’t truly a group of pirates but rather played the role of robbing the rich to help the poor!
They supported the fishermen on the islands near the Devil Whale Domain, and Chu Qin believed these fishermen should know the whereabouts of the Zi Zhenzhu Pirate Group’s base.
Following that, Chu Qin led the women toward the nearest wooden house. This was a manor-like cabin, with a yard planted with various fruits and vegetables.
"Carrots!"
"Papayas!"
Seeing the carrots and papayas, Xiaowu and Wang Qiu’er both jumped up excitedly, ready to pounce towards the orchard!
"Xiaowu, this is someone else’s courtyard, you’re not allowed to do as you please without permission!" But I saw Xiaowu and Wang Qiu’er being grabbed by Mei Wu!
"Hmph!" Xiaowu snorted coldly, then turned to Chu Qin with pitiful eyes.
"It’s okay, Xiaowu, Qiu’er, I will find a way to buy all the fruits here later!" Chu Qin said with a light smile.
"Mm-hmm!" Xiaowu and Wang Qiu’er nodded vigorously in agreement.
"Is anybody here?" Chu Qin then called out toward the house.
"Coming!" Soon enough, a middle-aged beautiful woman emerged from the house. She was dressed in somewhat tattered clothes, but her looks were extremely beautiful and radiant. Although she couldn’t compare to the exceptional women accompanying Chu Qin, she was more pleasing to the eye than ordinary women!
At the same time, the middle-aged beautiful woman’s figure was quite voluptuous; the loose, ragged garment couldn’t conceal her impressive physique.
"Who are you people?" the middle-aged beautiful woman asked with slight surprise upon seeing Chu Qin and the extraordinary women.
"It’s like this!" Chu Qin replied with a smile, "We are seafaring adventurers who accidentally got lost at sea and haven’t eaten in many days. Could we have a meal here?"
Clearly, Chu Qin was putting on an act, but naturally, none of the women would call him out on it.
"This..." The middle-aged beautiful woman hesitated. Although Chu Qin’s appearance was reassuring, when faced with a group of uninvited guests, she wasn’t inclined to offer her help!
"We won’t eat for free!" Chu Qin replied with a smile, taking out a heavy bag of golden soul coins from the Soul Guidance Container, "Here are a hundred golden soul coins, do you think this is enough?"
The middle-aged beautiful woman’s pupils widened slightly, and then, after accepting the golden soul coins, she said with a beaming smile, "Then you guys go into the house and sit down, I’ll get everything ready!"
"Do you need any help?" Su Jin hurriedly offered.
"No need!" The middle-aged beautiful woman shook her head, "I can manage by myself!"
"Okay then!" Su Jin nodded in response.
"Oh, by the way, beautiful!" Chu Qin called out to the middle-aged beautiful woman.
"Hmm?" The middle-aged beautiful woman turned around, showing a slightly different expression. She quickly put the golden soul coins in her bosom and asked with a smile, "Is there anything else?"
"Don’t misunderstand, I’m not asking for the golden soul coins back!" Chu Qin replied, "My friends here, they like eating fruits and vegetables! Can we take all the fruits and vegetables in your yard? I can add another hundred golden soul coins!"
"No need for that, they aren’t worth much. If you like them, feel free to take them all!" the middle-aged beautiful woman said, touching the golden soul coins in her bosom with great satisfaction.
"Great!" Chu Qin said with a smile, nodding his head.
"Mm!" The middle-aged beautiful woman nodded and went into the kitchen.
"This is amazing!" Xiaowu and Wang Qiu’er immediately became excited, pouncing on the orchard like hungry wolves.
"Chu Qin, then we’ll go pick some too!" Dugu Yan suggested. Beauties always seem to like fruits! Probably because they are more refreshing.
"Mm-hmm, everyone go!" Chu Qin said with a light smile.
Chu Qin, leading Su Jin Lin Dai and the others, then entered the spacious wooden house.
One could see that the furnishings in the wooden house were extremely simple; apart from some basic furniture, there were only a few dried animal skins hanging on the wall!
Beyond that, there were also some children’s toys!
"I never imagined that in the midst of the vast sea, there would be such a comfortable little island!" Qian Renxue said with a smile.
"Xue’er, you really like it, don’t you?" Chu Qin inquired.
"Mm-hmm!" Qian Renxue nodded, "Chu Qin, once we’re free later on, let’s pick a quiet island to be our place of rest!"
"What, aren’t we idle right now?" Chu Qin said with a smile, "Oh, right, you’re the esteemed crown prince of the Tiandou Empire! How about this, Xue’er? You can give up being the crown prince, and I’ll resign from my position as the Great Priest of Spirit Hall. I’ll take you sisters and live in seclusion on an island!"
Qian Renxue shook her head, "Not now! Grandpa still needs me to take care of him!"
"Then that settles it!" Chu Qin said with a light smile.
"Chu Qin, the carrots here are so sweet, you have to try!" Just then, Xiaowu excitedly rushed in and stuffed the carrot she had bitten into directly into Chu Qin’s mouth!
