Theoretically, Qian Daoliu should not interfere in this kind of matter. But in reality, to Qian Daoliu, since he was already here, spending a little more time did not matter.
Even if he left Spirit Hall, Spirit Hall would not run into problems in such a short time. If Spirit Hall collapsed just because he was gone for two or three days, then to put it bluntly, Spirit Hall would have no need to exist.
The mermaid race's territory was very close to the northern side of Douluo Continent. It was located at the border beyond the icy sea of the Extreme North.
This place was where warm and cold waters met. A large amount of nutrients gathered here, causing algae to grow, which in turn allowed huge numbers of krill to breed. Many Spirit Beast groups and fish lived here, receiving more nourishment and more chances to reproduce.
Whether it was the seawater or the world's energy, this place was especially rich. It was a rare good place in the entire ocean.
After all, the mermaid race was not a small race, and they also had many subordinate Spirit Beasts to support. A large and excellent place like this naturally became the mermaid race's long-time home.
After flying north for a while, Chen Ming roughly arrived at the location given by Sea God.
Because this was on the ocean, the location was a little too broad. By the time Chen Ming finally confirmed that he had indeed entered the area, he did not see even half an Evil Demon Orca or half a mermaid.
There were only large numbers of fish and Spirit Beasts living normally in the water, with no sign of battle at all.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Ming dove straight into the sea and bluntly stopped a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast.
Looking at the human Spirit Master who had suddenly blocked its path, this ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast, which seemed to be some kind of octopus, first froze for a moment. Then it assumed Chen Ming had come to take its Spirit Ring and instantly entered a fighting stance.
Its eight long tentacles flashed with faint light. A hidden spiritual power surged out from the octopus Spirit Beast and blended into the surrounding seawater.
In an instant, the flow and direction of the nearby seawater became distorted. It seemed to be trying to launch a surprise attack on Chen Ming through hidden spiritual attacks and by controlling the seawater.
Although this octopus Spirit Beast's spiritual control was indeed quite good among Spirit Beasts, in front of Chen Ming, these little tricks were far too obvious.
He did not even need to focus much. He only moved a trace of his spiritual power, wrapped it around the surrounding seawater, and formed an invisible slap.
That slap struck the octopus Spirit Beast so hard that it spun dozens of times in the sea before finally stopping.
If not for the fact that ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts truly had strong life force, the octopus's nine brains and three hearts might have almost stopped on the spot.
After taking that slap, the octopus Spirit Beast's eyes instantly became clear.
A big shot of this level, even if he needed a Spirit Ring, would not need a small fry's Spirit Ring like its own.
"Did you see the battle between a group of Evil Demon Orcas and the mermaid race?"
Chen Ming directly gathered his spiritual power into a line and sent it into the octopus Spirit Beast's mind.
"I… I am a subordinate Spirit Beast of the mermaid race."
The octopus Spirit Beast stayed silent for a moment, then answered Chen Ming with spiritual power.
Although its tone was a little stiff, there were actually no grammar mistakes.
Its cultivation was not enough for it to speak human language directly like a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast, but judging from this method of spiritual communication, this octopus Spirit Beast was clearly not unfamiliar with human language. It also seemed to often use spiritual power to communicate with others in human speech.
Chen Ming had not stopped this octopus Spirit Beast at random.
The main reason was that octopuses were already among the more intelligent beings in the ocean. Once they became Spirit Beasts, a ten-thousand-year one would have a fairly good brain.
However, Chen Ming had not expected that the Spirit Beast he casually stopped would actually be a subordinate of the mermaid race.
"I'm here to drive away the Evil Demon Orcas."
"What?"
The giant octopus was a little confused and did not understand what Chen Ming meant.
"Why do you want to drive away the Evil Demon Orcas?"
"Didn't the mermaid race ask Sea God Island for help, saying the Evil Demon Orcas were harassing them?"
"That matter might be true, but it also might not be…"
The giant octopus humanly scratched its head with a tentacle, then used spiritual power to communicate with Chen Ming.
"It's not like this has only happened once or twice. The Evil Demon Orcas often come over and cause trouble for a while. But if they're ignored, they leave on their own. The mermaid race doesn't actually care that much. Otherwise, the Evil Demon Orca clan wouldn't be a match for the mermaid race."
"Still, if you insist on beating up the Evil Demon Orcas, I support you."
The giant octopus pointed into the distance with one of its tentacles.
"That group of Evil Demon Orcas just swam that way. It seems they're hunting a hundred-thousand-year whale Spirit Beast."
"You can go if you want. My strength won't be of any use anyway, so I can only support you in my heart."
Although Chen Ming knew that there were far more hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts in the deep sea than on land, hearing this giant octopus casually say that the Evil Demon Orca group was hunting a hundred-thousand-year whale Spirit Beast still surprised him a little.
Even if hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts were not that valuable here, had they really become this worthless?
But considering the natural intelligence of orcas, along with their thug-like personality, it did not seem too surprising that a group of Evil Demon Orcas in the Douluo world could hunt a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast.
"Then where are the mermaids of the mermaid race?"
The giant octopus looked at Chen Ming and stayed silent for a while, as if it could not understand why Chen Ming would ask such a question.
But since Chen Ming's slap had almost shaken it unconscious earlier, after a brief silence, the giant octopus still slowly gave an answer.
"Go north for a while longer. Under the water, there is a sleeping deep-sea volcano. A large number of special creatures live around the crater."
"The seawater there is scorching hot, but it is also full of life force and warm power. For sea Spirit Beasts, it is a treasure land."
"It isn't especially powerful, but its advantage is that it is stable and gentle. As long as you don't go too deep, there won't be any danger."
"Normally, the mermaid race doesn't seal that place off. But whenever the energy flowing out of the underwater volcano builds up to a certain level, the mermaid race sends some of its people there to accumulate it for a while."
