“Look, what’s that under the sea?”
“Ahhhh, there’re so many fishes! All of them are fish skeletons!”
The few all looked down beneath the surface, and they saw millions of fish skeletons, each the size of a water tank. All following behind the golden boat, some swam faster bit on Immortal Bird’s bones. That was why it’s wailing.
Xerxes took a look and said, “These are piranhas.”
He then said to the Immortal Bird, “With your abilities, you should’ve long activated spiritual intelligence. And you should be able to speak and control the size of your body. What’s the matter with you?”
The Immortal Bird didn’t know how to talk, and it could only make noises.
Alex explained. “I think its brain development is slower than usual. It might have suffered polio.”
The Immortal Bird opened its eyes wide, freezing up. After that, Xerxes sped up the boat by two times. Only then were they able to get rid of the weird fishes.
The Immortal Bird shook them off violently as well. It was finally able to relax and drooped its head tiredly on the boat. It looked at Alex bitterly, as if unhappy about Alex mentioning its polio.
Mystic Maiden asked, “What’s up with that Corpse King’s daughter?”
Xerxes said, “She… Oh yeah, I still don’t know who you guys are. How did you get in?”
Alex didn’t want to reveal his true identity, so he lied. “We’re with Homan Technology. We entered here with the Buddhist relic.”
Surprisingly, Xerxes knew about them. “The Hancock family?”
Alex nodded, “Yup, I’m York Hancock. This is my sister Lylith Hancock. As for the bird, we just met it.”
Xerxes and Mandy didn’t doubt his words.
The fact that Alex mentioned Homan Technology and the affair rumor about Commander Benson was enough to prove Alex’s identity. He was indeed a trialist from Earth.
The fact that her man was loved and targeted by a hideous creature made her very upset
Just at that moment, grey clouds swarmed the skies above them, and the tide grew swiftly. The skies were clear just a second ago, but suddenly, it was dark. Moreover, the crew felt a thick sense that a dark aura had come with the sudden grey clouds.
“Look, someone seems to be within the clouds!” Luneth pointed to the rumbling clouds and mentioned loudly.
Everyone was stunned, there really was a person.
‘Wasn’t this restricted airspace?’
Soon, the silhouettes among the clouds gradually became clearer. First, the heads appeared, then the bodies. They moved in sync as soldiers would.
“Corpse Kingdom’s troops!” Principal Lewin looked grim as he spat out the words.
Right then, the soldiers said together, “ Greetings, our prince consort. Please come with us!”
