Chapter 232: Sea God Deceives the Deep Sea Demon Whale King
For the next week, the group engaged in a protracted pursuit of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King across the ocean.
It fled, they pursued. Though it lacked wings to fly, it had fins to swim.
Across the sea, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was barely invulnerable, leaving the group powerless.
Ultimately, they had to call it a day and rest on a nearby island.
"Don't worry, let's just switch spirit rings. This guy is too cunning."
Qian Xunji had tried every trick in the chase, but the opponent's strength was too great to stop.
"No!"
Bo Saixi said, slamming her scepter into the ground and speaking sternly.
"We've already offended the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. If we don't kill him, it's bound to cause trouble later."
She had come out determined to defeat him and mentally prepared for a long battle.
Giving up now would be disastrous for Sea God Island.
Qian Daoliu patted Qian Xunji on the back of his head and said sternly, "Indeed, this soul beast is incredibly powerful, and the spirit ring it unleashed must be incredibly powerful. Haste won't get you hot tofu. Take your time, and you'll eventually catch it."
"Yes, Father."
Qian Xunji, slapped, didn't mention changing targets.
"Brother, the enemy is very cunning. We must change our strategy,"
Azure Luan Douluo said. For the past few days, the enemy had been avoiding a fight and running. Even Brother and Bo Saixi's combined efforts couldn't stop it, so intent on escaping.
If they continued this way, the result would be the same as before: no matter how many times they surrounded it, it would always escape.
"But if it's determined to escape, then apart from Father and Senior Bo Saixi, if it forces its way through, any of us who try to stop it will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, or even be in danger of our lives."
Ling Yuan recalled the several encirclement and suppression battles of the past few days. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was very cunning. Whenever it broke through, it would target anyone other than Bo Saixi and Father for a strong attack.
Facing such a powerful attack, if they didn't dodge, they would inevitably be injured and unable to stop the enemy.
Gu Han's eyes were filled with contemplation. During the battle, he had observed the enemy's Qi. It was extremely strong, meaning they were likely to fail this time.
Unless a divine being intervened, secretly controlling his thoughts and weakening his Qi, forcing him to fight to the death, they would only be repeatedly evaded.
He even began to suspect that in the original novel, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was defeated by the Shrek Seven Devils because his mind had been secretly influenced by the Sea God.
Otherwise, with the Sixth Demon Whale King's personality, he would never fight if he couldn't win, but would choose to flee.
If the enemy was determined to escape, the Shrek Seven Devils' current lineup would be unable to stop him, unless the Sea God secretly strengthened the Seven Devils' fighting power.
"Junior Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Bibi Dong noticed Gu Han's deep thought and tugged at his arm, whispering.
Gu Han shook his head slightly and said, "I'm thinking about how to make the Deep Sea Demon Whale King not run away, but fight us head-on."
"By the way, Xiaohan, when the Snow Emperor sacrificed herself to you, why can't we persuade the Deep Sea Demon Whale King to sacrifice himself to Dong'er? After all, Dong'er has a divine test. As long as we make a good agreement and resurrect him in the God Realm after becoming a god, I believe the other party will not refuse."
Qian Xunji thought of the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor. Since it is possible here with Xiaohan, is it also possible with Dong'er?
"I'm afraid that won't work."
Bo Saixi shook her head. Although she didn't want to mention it, she still said, "Back then, in order to give the ocean a sense of stability, the Sea God temporarily reached a cooperation with it, but later because of its evil attributes, the Sea God was afraid that it would bring disaster to the God Realm, so he didn't take it to the God Realm. This time, the other party may not believe such a lie."
"Well."
Qian Xunji asked doubtfully, "Since the Sea God was worried about him bringing disaster to the God Realm, why didn't he worry about him causing chaos in the ocean and kill him?"
"The Sea God is kind-hearted and only gave some punishment and deterrence," Bo Saixi explained.
"What kind-heartedness? Betrayal sounds so good. This Demon Whale King is really miserable." In the spiritual realm, the Ice Emperor secretly curled her lips.
Humans don't know what happened back then, but they, the Soul Beast Clan, have heard some of it.
To be able to talk about betrayal so high-soundingly is truly shameless.
"You know?"
Gu Han asked secretly after hearing this.
Snow Emperor nodded. "Yes, the Sea God also visited our Far North back then and invited Bing Di and me to help him gather faith there. In return, he promised to lead us to the divine realm after he became a god."
"And then what?"
"We refused, and he abandoned the Far North and turned to the ocean, using the same rhetoric to trick the then-Devil Whale King into collaborating with him."
"But fortunately, Sister Xue and I didn't agree to his request, or we would have become the evil spirit beasts he described as wreaking havoc in the Far North."
Ice Emperor crossed her arms, filled with disdain and disgust for the Sea God.
"Oh? Then why do you trust me?"
Gu Han raised an eyebrow. With the previous experience, why would he choose to cooperate with him?
"You're different. It's not so much you we trust, but the divine book." Snow Emperor looked at Wuming Fa. As Gu Han's strength continued to rise, the book became increasingly mysterious.
"Besides, we've long been tied to the same rope. We rise and fall together. You can't abandon Bing Di and me."
Xue Di hadn't lied. Over the years, she and Bing Di, transformed by the Nameless Method, had become completely bound to Gu Han, becoming his sword spirits and souls.
"Finally, you're not the Sea God."
Gu Han smiled. He felt a little embarrassed to be so trusted, but he certainly wouldn't betray their trust.
Cultivation emphasizes cause and effect. Since he had inherited the cause and effect of Xue Di and Bing Di, he would never betray them.
Bing Di was even simpler. She hugged Xue Di's arm and vowed, "I believe in Sister Xue."
"Haha."
Gu Han smiled at Bing Di, suddenly finding her rather adorable.
"What are you laughing at?"
Bing Di grumbled, feeling the other's gaze was piercing.
"Nothing. I thought you'd say, 'I feel the same way,'"
Gu Han waved his hand. He remembered Bing Di hadn't said that before. This time, perhaps, this was the most crucial point: trust Xue Di.
After much discussion, the group still refused to give up.
They rested on the island for a few days and worked out a series of countermeasures, intending to drive the enemy to a densely populated island reef cluster and defeat them there in one fell swoop.
