"The Evil Demon Orca clan also chose this time to come and cause trouble."
At this point, the giant octopus hurriedly added another sentence.
"Human Spirit Master, you're not allowed to sneak a look."
Chen Ming scratched his head and showed an awkward but polite smile.
How should he put it?
The mermaid race was one of the rare Spirit Beast races with no reproductive barrier with humans. In fact, some individuals among the mermaid race could even awaken Martial Souls and walk the path of becoming human Spirit Masters.
For example, Sea Woman Douluo on Sea God Island was a mixed-blood of human and mermaid. She possessed the cultivation of a human Titled Douluo, as well as a lifespan far beyond the limit of ordinary human Spirit Masters.
In theory, a mermaid like her, who had awakened a Martial Soul, was closer to humans, so she could not possess the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years of long life that the mermaid race had as Spirit Beasts. But if nothing unexpected happened, living for two or three thousand years would not be a problem.
That lifespan was even longer than the limit of a Limit Douluo.
Whether it was humans or Spirit Beasts, there were all kinds of guesses about the origin of the mermaid race. Some people even believed in an extreme way that perhaps the mermaid race was a transitional stage between humans and Spirit Beasts.
Of course, this was mainly because the mermaid race's appearance fit human tastes.
Otherwise, if the mermaid race looked like fishmen, then this race would be seen as a disgrace to humans. They would immediately go from being Spirit Beasts closely related to humans to becoming something like the Wind Demon Wolves.
To be honest, Chen Ming was indeed very curious about the mermaid race.
He really wanted to understand the difference between mermaids and human Spirit Masters. What special traits did this kind of existence, standing between humans and Spirit Beasts, have?
What subtle differences were there between ordinary mermaids and mermaids who were Spirit Masters?
What exactly decided their growth speed and the upper limit of their lifespan?
But Chen Ming truly was not lustful. He was not so bored that he would go peep at a group of mermaids.
He was not Ma Hongjun, not Dai Mubai, and not Oscar. He was not that sleazy.
Even if he truly wanted to study mermaids, he would properly explain things to them, then make an exchange of benefits and have the mermaids cooperate with his research.
Looking at the surrounding reefs, Chen Ming reached out and released his elemental power from a distance. Under his control, the reefs began to twist and change shape, finally turning into a huge stone jar.
Looking at this large jar, the octopus's eyes seemed to start shining.
Although it had never come into contact with this kind of thing before, just seeing the jar made it feel as if certain traits deep in its soul had been awakened.
Chen Ming tossed the large jar to the octopus as a gift for answering his questions.
The octopus excitedly slapped its tentacles. Then, after thinking for a moment, it said a few more words to Chen Ming.
"Human Spirit Master, you're very good. You really are very good! You're completely different from the human Spirit Masters I've seen before. You're a good person."
"For the sake of your gift, I'll remind you of something. I originally shouldn't say these things, but you must remember them, and you absolutely must not casually tell anyone else. Otherwise, I'll be in trouble."
"Be careful of the Devil Soul Great White Shark clan. Although that clan is close to Sea God Island, they aren't exactly good things either. In a sense, they're basically no different from the Evil Demon Orcas. In fact, when it comes to bloodlust, the Devil Soul Great White Sharks may be even worse than the Evil Demon Orcas. And the biggest problem is that this clan doesn't have very good brains."
"If you see the Devil Soul Great White Shark clan, you must be careful. Some of their stronger and dumber members won't care where you come from. They'll attack you directly. If you fight back, then you need to be even more careful."
"The Devil Soul Great White Shark clan is extremely sensitive to blood. Once you get their clan's blood on you, the stronger members of their clan will immediately chase after you. When that happens, even if you're from Sea God Island, you might not really survive."
"This might sound a little immoral, but if the Devil Soul Great White Shark clan attacks you, run right away. Then find a slower, larger Spirit Beast and cut it, making it bleed. That way, those brainless guys will switch targets and attack it instead."
"You must not say I told you this. And you absolutely must not tell anyone else about it. I can't bear the responsibility of gossiping behind their backs."
The giant octopus Spirit Beast gave Chen Ming a few warnings. Then it looked left and right a few times before rolling the huge stone jar up with its tentacles and diving toward the seabed. It looked as if it could not wait to enter this home for its soul and enjoy itself properly.
Chen Ming kept the giant octopus's words in mind and nodded.
Then he rushed out of the sea, flew into the sky, and exchanged a few words with Qian Daoliu. After that, the two nodded and flew into the distance.
Before long, Chen Ming sensed the presence of the Evil Demon Orca clan through the ocean's currents and energy fluctuations. In the end, he locked onto the Evil Demon Orca clan and the hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast they were chasing.
A hundred-thousand-year Evil Demon Orca led the group. Several Evil Demon Orcas over fifty thousand years old acted as the vanguard, while more than ten ten-thousand-year Evil Demon Orcas formed the front line. With a cunning and brutal stance, they were surrounding and killing a huge whale Spirit Beast that gave off black power all over its body.
Every individual of the Evil Demon Orca clan was a powerful top-tier Spirit Beast of the ocean. Their individual strength was even stronger than that of the Devil Soul Great White Shark clan.
This clan was naturally cunning, cruel, bloodthirsty, and extremely united. Their hunting tactics were even more sly and efficient than a wolf pack's.
This huge whale Spirit Beast was very strong.
Even from Chen Ming's point of view, this hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast was definitely not weak. Although he did not know exactly what species it was, Chen Ming could sense the vast blood and qi in this mountain-like whale Spirit Beast, as well as the powerful dark attribute hidden inside its body.
Every roar from the giant whale could stir up waves and draw the surrounding energy into its body in a special way. Every collision carried tremendous force.
If he had to compare it, this thing was probably equal to a sea Spirit Master around rank ninety-five.
If a land Spirit Master entered the sea to fight it, even an ordinary rank ninety-seven Spirit Master might not be able to take down this hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast with its home-field advantage.
At first, Chen Ming thought this giant whale was a hundred-thousand-year Deep Sea Demon Whale. But after sensing it carefully, it did not seem quite the same as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King described in legends.
It was probably a giant whale Spirit Beast close to the Deep Sea Demon Whale, or one with part of the Deep Sea Demon Whale bloodline.
