Little Black glanced at the sea after hearing that Liu Guanfeng had been plunged into the deep ocean, but did not see Liu Guanfeng's figure. Instead, Little Black looked at Bai Yu with a gaze as if staring at a corpse. At this moment, Bai Yu was still immersed in the wonderful life of being on par with Severe Winter after acquiring the current Mount.
However, beside him, White Ferret had no further thoughts; it was just a magical beast whose task was to accompany its master. When White Ferret sensed the malice in Little Black's gaze, all its white fur stood on end.
Little Black shot a glance at White Ferret: "Don't look at me; you are an accomplice here too, and you won't survive either." White Ferret took two steps back, frightened by Little Black's words.
After hearing Little Black's words, Bai Yu chuckled and patted White Ferret beside him: "Old buddy, how about we work together to tame this little black guy and make him our companion?"
White Ferret looked at Bai Yu in surprise; it did not expect that at such a critical moment, Bai Yu was not thinking about escaping but rather about subduing the monster before them.
Immediately, White Ferret transmitted a message to Bai Yu: "Master, we should find a way to escape. I can sense that we are definitely no match for it. Moreover, it is very angry right now. Let me cover your escape. If you survive, there is still hope."
After listening to this, Bai Yu looked at White Ferret in confusion; he could tell that White Ferret was not exaggerating. He turned his head to glance at Little Black. If he could really tame this magical beast, it would be a great achievement. Magical beasts above the Ninth Tier were hard to come by; since he encountered one today, he had to give it a try.
Gripping the iron rod in his hand, Bai Yu said to White Ferret: "I won't feel satisfied if I don't give it a shot today. If it doesn't work out, we can think of another way."
At this moment, Bai Yu had just broken through to become a Divine Knight. His strength was only slightly stronger than that of an Eighth Stage Peak magical beast. However, compared to a Ninth Tier magical beast, there was still some gap. But with the help of the Seventh Tier White Ferret, he was confident he could subdue a Ninth Tier magical beast. What he did not realize was that the beast before him was not merely a Ninth Tier creature but a true Divine Beast, and unlike any ordinary Divine Beast, it possessed the bloodline of an authentic divine creature.
With inflated confidence, Bai Yu charged forward with the iron rod and instructed White Ferret to use a small whirlwind to bind Little Black's movements.
Just when he thought he was about to succeed, suddenly a silvery light erupted from the black magical beast. Two silvery orbs quickly surrounded both Bai Yu and White Ferret. Startled, Bai Yu wondered what this cage-like thing was.
When he touched the cage with his iron rod, an electric shock surged through him, leaving him feeling invigorated.
"You'd better not move. If you keep moving around recklessly, I can't guarantee your safety. You two should take your time in this cage and understand what happens to those who kill my junior brother."
After saying this, Little Black flew into the sky with both Bai Yu and White Ferret. At that moment, Bai Yu felt utterly hopeless. Aside from flying-type magical beasts, very few could soar into the sky; even a Divine Knight could not guarantee flight. The ability to fly indicated that this divine beast possessed divine bloodline traits—this was definitely not something he could provoke.
As they ascended slowly above the entire small island, all the soldiers on the island looked up at the sky where Little Black hovered. Suddenly, from its mouth came a bolt of lightning that shot straight into the clouds, instantly forming a massive rain cloud filled with flickering lightning. At that moment, Bai Yu finally understood what Little Black intended to do.
Desperately shouting down at the island below, Bai Yu yelled: "Everyone leave the island immediately! Get out now!"
Upon hearing Bai Yu's voice and looking up to see him trapped in a cage, the people on the island realized something was wrong and immediately scattered in panic.
With a cold snort, Little Black said: "It's too late to run now." Just as its words fell, the first bolt of lightning descended from the clouds above. As it neared the ground, it split into dozens of bolts of lightning that struck down upon those below. Instantly, some were hit by lightning and turned into charred blackened forms as their lives faded away.
Suddenly, a thunderstorm broke out on the small island, with flashes of lightning and booming thunder filling the air, accompanied by heart-wrenching cries and dark figures everywhere.
In the sky, Bai Yu shouted at Little Black, "You devil! They know nothing; can't you let them go? It was I who killed your disciple. If you have the ability, come and kill me."
Little Black glanced at Bai Yu and replied, "Your turn will come soon. But you are not worthy to pay with your life for my disciple's death."
Many people near the outskirts of the island seized the opportunity to escape, swimming in the sea. The boats surrounding the island hesitated to approach, waiting until all the lightning was confined to the island before slowly steering toward it to rescue those who had fallen into the water.
As the storm clouds expanded, they covered an area comparable to that of the island. Many people took advantage of a lull in the lightning to desperately swim toward the sea, knowing that if they could escape the island's range, they would be safe. Their companions were waiting for them on the water.
Just as people were fleeing for their lives, disaster struck again. Dense bolts of lightning fell from the storm clouds, enveloping the entire island.
Gradually, everyone on the island felt the ground trembling beneath them and sensed that the island was slowly sinking.
"Not good! The island is going to sink!" someone shouted. All those who had not yet escaped frantically ran toward the sea, but the lightning surrounding the island was no mere decoration; in an instant, many lives were claimed by it.
At this moment, Bai Yu had closed his eyes. Although he considered himself not a good person, he could not bear to watch as his subordinates were turned into charred figures by lightning.
The entire island continued to sink into the sea as those on it looked desperately at the boats outside. Finally, the island disappeared from everyone's view. When it sank, a whirlpool appeared where it once stood. Some boats that had not reacted in time were also swallowed by this whirlpool.
Seeing this, some boats on the outskirts rowed furiously away. Bai Yu had brought ten thousand people to seek treasure, with over thirty boats in total. In the end, only five boats managed to leave alive, carrying just over three hundred people.
Everyone dared not linger in that place and immediately set sail back to Luo Heng Island to report to Severe Winter about what had happened on the island.
Seeing that the entire island had sunk, Little Black let out a howl toward the sky and then looked at Bai Yu without any hint of emotion. "I have already sent your subordinates away; now it's time for you, the culprit."
Bai Yu, trapped in the Lightning Cage, pointed at Little Black and said, "Don't celebrate too early; King Severe Winter will not spare you. Just wait to accompany your disciple in hell."
Little Black said nothing but moved White Ferret's cage in front of Bai Yu and said, "Watch closely; see how your companion is killed."
"No! If you have any ability, come kill me instead! Don't harm it!" Bai Yu shouted almost madly as he tried to break free from the Lightning Cage but was rebounded by its electric force. He could only watch helplessly as he cried out weakly, "No... no... you devil! May you die a horrible death! No!"
Suddenly, lightning filled White Ferret's cage. After a flash of lightning, a black-furred ferret appeared before Bai Yu. Little Black retracted the Lightning Cage into his body as the little black ferret fell into the sea.
Seeing his White Ferret die right before him caused Bai Yu immense pain; he cried out and fainted inside the Lightning Cage. Little Black used a small bolt of lightning to wake him up again. As Bai Yu slowly regained consciousness, he wept bitterly and pointed at Little Black saying, "You devil! Just kill me already!"
Little Black coldly snorted and replied, "Killing you is inevitable. Listen carefully: I am going to search for my disciple now. If I find him, your life will be considered compensation for my disciple's death. If I do not find him or if he truly has been killed by you, I can assure you that there will be no existence left on this continent; our master will come to destroy your entire world. You can go die now."
"You are all devils, ah~!" The entire cage instantly transformed into a white sphere of light. As the white light descended, the black Bai Yu appeared inside the cage. Little Black retracted the cage, and Bai Yu, along with his White Ferret, fell into the sea.
At this moment, after killing thousands of people, Little Black's anger had slightly subsided. He desperately tried to communicate with Liu Guanfeng through thought, using his spiritual sense to search for Liu Guanfeng.
Although Little Black did not find Liu Guanfeng, he could sense through their contract that Liu Guanfeng was not dead yet; he was just weak and unresponsive to his calls.
Meanwhile, Liu Guanfeng was drifting slowly in the deep sea below a thousand meters, carried by the currents. Fortunately, Liu Guanfeng usually liked to store some oxygen in his body, so he wasn't completely out of breath at this moment. He was in a chaotic state and felt nothing from the outside world.
On the surface of the sea, Little Black was desperately flying low, scanning the water like a radar with his spiritual sense. Again and again he scanned, only to be met with disappointment. Little Black was now frantic, tirelessly searching the ocean while flying. Any obstacles he encountered were not just magical beasts; even a small island would be sunk if he deemed it a hindrance.
In the blink of an eye, Little Black had been frantically searching the ocean for three whole days without a moment's rest or a bite to eat or drink.
On the other side, after three days of soaking in the sea, Liu Guanfeng was washed up onto a small island by the waves. The island was not large and had only a small hill on it with a few sparse trees growing on it. There was also a small cave on the hill. At the entrance of the cave stood a stone door marked with two handprints.
Liu Guanfeng lay on the beach of the island, half of his body still submerged in seawater. The waves washed over him as the scorching sun beat down on his body.
At this moment, there was also a second-tier magical beast, a Sea Crab, on Liu Guanfeng's body. This Sea Crab was considered a delicacy by humans and clearly saw Liu Guanfeng as its next meal. The Sea Crab clamped one of Liu Guanfeng's legs with its pincers, intending to tear it off and feast slowly. However, after trying twice, it found it couldn't manage to do so.
Suddenly, Liu Guanfeng's previously numb body felt a sharp pain that pierced through like a beacon in the dark night. After furrowing his brow slightly, he slowly opened his eyes. As soon as he opened them, he felt intense pain radiating from within his body.
Liu Guanfeng sighed inwardly: "This time I really messed up; not only did I fail my mission but I almost lost my life as well. Luckily I made it through." Just then, an urgent voice echoed in his mind: "Xiaofeng! Xiaofeng! Can you hear me? Where are you right now? If you can hear me, please respond."
