Chapter 928: What a Big Meaty Crab!

The fishtail slapped, causing high waves to soar.

Bu Fang had already disappeared into the waves. As soon as he jumped into the sea, the chilly seawater expanded, covering him entirely, which troubled his breathing.

It was the sea water pressure. Bu Fang tried to suppress his annoyance as bubbles escaped his mouth and nostrils.

The Vermillion Robe fluttered in the seawater, and a faint gold halo glowed and expanded.

Bu Fang spurted several bubbles.

Being submerged was an annoying feeling.

He furrowed his brows. His mind flickered, and the spirit sea surged, raising high waves with a dragon roar.

His mental force was released, and he meticulously controlled it, making a thin layer shrouding his entire body.

Once this thin layer separated him from the seawater, he didn’t feel the water pressure anymore.

Bu Fang opened his mouth, exhaling, walking in the sea. After a while, he sank deeper into the depths.

He needed to find a spirit beast that knew the way. Since the Black Dragon Palace was a famous place in the Endless Sea, he believed that those strong sea spirit beasts should know about it.

Finally, his body reached the bottom of the sea. When he landed on the bumpy ground, he rose dust and sand, which blocked his vision.

The surroundings at the sea bottom were really different from the continent. Bu Fang gawked, watching a school of fish swimming past him in amazement.

There were colorful coral reefs where slender, snake-like spirit beasts popped in and out. Not far from him, an octopus stretched its eight soft and elastic tentacles, swaying in the water.

Everything was so beautiful, and it was beyond his estimation.

All of a sudden...

A great, shaking commotion appeared above Bu Fang’s head.

It looked like the seawater was boiling.

The fishes swimming back and forth in front of Bu Fang were scared. They shot away like arrows at their max speed, disappearing in just a blink of an eye.

The octopus was scared too. It squirted ink, and the pitch-black fluid expanded fast in the surrounding water, making the entire place black. It also zoomed fast away.

Boom! Boom!

The entire seabed was shaken.

Bu Fang was bewildered. He lifted his head, looking at the space above.

In that place, a ferocious fish was baring its sharp teeth, attacking Bu Fang.

That giant fish had a slender body with a waterdrop-shaped fin on its back. It was swimming extremely fast.

“Tiger Head Shark?”

Bu Fang was frightened.

The Tiger Head Shark was a spirit beast at the peak of Divine Body Realm. Its head had stripes that were similar to a tiger’s, and it could spurt sharp water blades, which made it one of the ten brutal kinds of spirit beasts under the sea.

The Tiger Head Shark liked to hunt spirit beasts with spirit energy. Many sorts of sea spirit beasts were their choices for delicious meals.

Perhaps it had sensed Bu Fang’s spirit energy as soon as he had submerged in the sea.

At this moment, the Tiger Head Shark was aiming at Bu Fang at a crazy speed. It was as fast as lightning as its sharp teeth glinted coldly.

Bu Fang stood on the sea bed, indifferently watching the Tiger Head Shark zooming toward him, his face emotionless.

His Vermillion Robe billowed, fluttering in the water.

Under the Tiger Head Shark’s prestige, creatures that were several miles around Bu Fang had all fled away.

“Well, I’m worried I won’t find someone who can lead the way, but here you are, knocking on my door.”

Bu Fang looked at the Tiger Head Shark, raising the corners of his mouth.

The Tiger Head Shark was getting bigger in Bu Fang’s eyes, but the latter didn’t even move.

Eventually, the Tiger Head Shark barged directly onto the seabed...

Boom! Boom!

In that wave of sonic booms, the entire seabed was shaken. Dust and sand rose high, blocking everyone’s vision.

The sea spirit beasts that had had intellect surrounded, watching. It seemed they wanted to see the Tiger Head Shark swallow that human in the end.

However, after a long time...

Dust and sand slowly settled.

Once those spirit beasts could see everything, what they saw next shocked them.

That human wasn’t... dead!

Not only that, but he had raised his hand, placing it on the Tiger Head Shark’s head to stop it. He used only one hand to stop the ferocious Tiger Head Shark!

Bu Fang wore an indifferent face. His hair fluttered in his mental force’s protection as his bandaged arm grabbed the Tiger Head Shark by its snout, pushing the shark’s giant body backward.

“Tough meat...” Bu Fang said nonchalantly, studying the shark. Then, the bandage on his arm scattered.

Swish.

The black and white bandage turned into circles, tying the Tiger Head Shark.

Roar!

The souls of the Black Taotie and the White Taotie in Bu Fang’s arm arose, opening their mouths, roaring unceasingly.

The Tiger Head Shark was startled the moment it sensed the Taoties’ auras and roars. It couldn’t believe why that human had become so fierce all of a sudden!

Bu Fang’s faint eyes looked at the Tiger Head Shark. Then, his feet stomped on the ground. With the bandage tying the shark’s head, Bu Fang leaped up then landed on top of its head.

The Tiger Head Shark was infuriated, struggling unceasingly.

Bu Fang cocked his head on one side as he raised his Taoties’ arm.

A moment later, he sent his fist down, pounding on the Tiger Head Shark’s head.

Bam!

The Tiger Head Shark was dumbstruck. In this seabed, it got walloped, having several of its teeth broken as blood diffused around them.

How come this human was so brutal?

The spirit beasts with intellect were startled.

Bu Fang’s foot stepped on the Tiger Head Shark’s head. Instantly, he generated a strong force, pushing his body up to the water surface like a cannonball.

As the Tiger Head Shark was tied by his bandage, it was pulled up to the water surface as well.

...

Netherworld Ship

Nethery and Flowery were sitting on the deck, their porcelain-like legs dangling. They were watching the rippling sea, feeling so bored.

It was almost an hour since Bu Fang had dived into the sea. They wondered if he had found something or found the direction to the Black Dragon Palace.

Or, Bu Fang could have lost his life in some fish’s mouth?

Rumors had it that the spirit beasts in the Endless Sea were all savage...

Rumble! Rumble!

The water surface exploded.

A giant figure leaped up from the sea, soaring into the sky. Then, it fell back, raising towering waves.

Bu Fang gripped his bandage, sitting on the giant figure above the sea. He glanced at Nethery and Flowery, who were dangling their legs, and gave a slight nod.

“This thing should know the way...”

The Tiger Head Shark was so aggrieved. It just wanted to hunt something to eat, but now, it became a tugging-boat spirit beast.

Bu Fang sat calmly on the deck. One hand of his holding the bandage, which was tense as the Tiger Head Shark was swimming fast ahead. They broke the waves, heading toward a specific direction.

Of course, the Tiger Head Shark knew where the Black Dragon Palace was. It hadn’t thought that this honored fellow wanted to go to that place.

The Black Dragon Palace was the oceanic species’ forbidden area. Except for the Black Dragon King’s subordinates, any creature from other sea tribes would be killed mercilessly if they got into the Black Dragon Palace’s territory.

Those people wanted to go to the Black Dragon Palace. How strong were they actually?

The Tiger Head Shark felt foolish as it dared to hunt this sort of experts.

With the Tiger Head Shark leading the way, everything became easier.

Nethery and Flowery got into the cabin to nap, leaving Bu Fang sitting on the deck, who was watching the vast sea in a daze.

The sea was surging, and the Netherworld Ship was just like a speck of dust, a little boat that looked so small in this place.

All of a sudden...

The Tiger Head Shark halted.

Bu Fang was surprised.

Frowning, Bu Fang released his mental force to communicate with the Tiger Head Shark.

It was a new skill Bu Fang had just learned. He could use his mental force to communicate with those spirit beasts.

“You mean, ahead of us is the Gold Shrimp Tribe’s territory? You don’t dare to go there?”

The Tiger Head Shark’s answer was beyond Bu Fang’s expectation.

Gold Shrimp Tribe...

Wasn’t it Ao Bai’s tribe from the oceanic species?

So, the Gold Shrimp Tribe and the Black Dragon Palace weren’t on the same side?

If that’s the case, why did the Black Dragon Palace send someone to him?

Bu Fang narrowed his eyes, a little perplexed. Originally, he thought that the Gold Shrimp Tribe and the Black Dragon Palace were from the same force. And now... there was something strange going on here.

If they weren’t from the same side, how could the Black Dragon Palace know that the Shrimp Ancestor was with him?

While Bu Fang was mulling things over, the seawater arose...

Slowly, a water column shot up into the sky.

The Tiger Head Shark shivered as it could sense danger.

Bu Fang turned, seeing water columns surrounding the Tiger Head Shark and the Netherworld Ship.

On each water column, oceanic species’ experts were holding weapons, aiming at Bu Fang and the Tiger Head Shark, looking so hostile.

“Who are you?! Dare to trespass the Gold Shrimp Tribe’s territory!”

The leading expert had spirit energy surging on his body—he was an existence at the Divine Soul Realm. Holding a giant pincer, which was clacking unceasingly, he released terrifying waves of energy.

Gold Shrimp Tribe?

Bu Fang furrowed his brows, pondering. Shrimpy was the Shrimp Ancestor of the Gold Shrimp Tribe. So, where would he bring Shrimpy to? The Gold Shrimp Tribe or the Black Dragon Palace?

It was a serious problem now.

“I’m asking you! Are you mute?!”

Suddenly, the expert with the giant pincer shouted, breaking Bu Fang’s train of thought.

Bu Fang lifted his head, indifferently looking at that expert.

“I’m talking to you! Are you mute?!”

The expert glared at Bu Fang. His pincer clacked noisily as it pounded on the water surface. Instantly, the water surface exploded. His prestige was peerless at this moment.

The Tiger Head Shark was shivering in the water.

This expert was much stronger than it. Naturally, it was intimidated.

No matter what, the others were members of the Gold Shrimp Tribe. Even if it could attack them, it would be over eventually.

Although the Gold Shrimp Tribe had declined, a thin camel was still better than a fat horse. This great tribe wasn’t something a Tiger Head Shark could resist.

“You’re talking too much. I thought about going to the Black Dragon Palace, but now... I think we’re going to the Gold Shrimp Tribe to check it out,” Bu Fang said casually, slowly wounding the bandage around his arm.

The expert’s eyes shrank.

“Arrogant! Do you think you can visit the Gold Shrimp Tribe as you please?!”

The expert looked angry. Then, the water column exploded. The expert wielded the giant pincer, aiming at Bu Fang.

He wanted to finish Bu Fang in one strike. He had met so many people like this man, who wanted to seize the chance when the Gold Shrimp Tribe had declined to earn some benefit.

However...

Bu Fang remained sitting on the Netherworld Ship, looking at the expert with the giant pincer respectfully. The corners of his mouth twitched before he said indifferently, “What a meaty crab...”

The expert was shaken hard, his eyes narrowing...

A meaty crab?

What was this human talking about?

How could he know he was a big crab?

Boom!

The big pincer pounded with a loud rumble.

However, the Gold Shrimp Tribe’s expert became frightened.

In front of him, the human grabbed his big, hard pincer with just one hand, his face emotionless.
