The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1074 - 1073: Great Turmoil

Tang Rao narrowly avoided the black ink, still looking bewildered.When he turned around again, the black ink was nowhere to be found.

When Uncle Zhou found Tang Rao, he let out a sigh of relief. As long as Tang Rao was unharmed, he had nothing to worry about.

"That large patch of black just now, could it have been someone taking a dump? The stench is unbelievable."

There were no women around, so Tang Rao took out some clothes to change into. If he weren't in the water, he would've sprayed some perfume too.

Uncle Zhou remained calm as usual, having already discovered the problem during their escape.

"The endless ocean isn't as peaceful as we imagined. Do you know what I saw while escaping?"

What?

Without Uncle Zhou saying, how could Tang Rao know?

"I saw a Hell Dog Shark, the same one we encountered before, and it seemed like it was looking for you."

Uncle Zhou spoke frankly. Their team was the only one in this area, and the Hell Dog Shark had kept its word. It hadn't intended to get involved with the few Immortal Emperors earlier, which caused them to briefly faint.

"The Hell Dog Shark was severely injured; it looked like it wouldn't last much longer. The black stuff earlier was its blood. If the bleeding doesn't stop, death is the only thing awaiting it."

Did the Hell Dog Shark die just like that?

Tang Rao felt it was a shame for such a powerful immortal beast to die before reaching the third world, it was truly unfortunate.

"I'll go find it. It's so pitiful; it can't die here."

The Hell Dog Shark had spared Tang Rao's life before, so he felt it was appropriate to save the shark's life in return, keeping another path open for himself, since the Hell Dog Shark wasn't the ungrateful type of immortal beast.

Uncle Zhou still wanted to persuade Tang Rao to think carefully, but Tang Rao disappeared in an instant.

Following the scent left by the Hell Dog Shark, Tang Rao quickly saw the giant creature lying on the reef, gasping for breath.

The Hell Dog Shark was severely wounded; if Tang Rao had come a moment later, its life would've probably been over.

"Old Shark, don't be afraid. I'm here to save you."

Tang Rao tried to speak in a soothing tone.

To avoid a sudden attack by the Hell Dog Shark, he carefully followed a safe route.

Fortunately, some trust had been established between them earlier, so the Hell Dog Shark, seeing Tang Rao approach, had no intention of harming him.

Even though the Hell Dog Shark was near death, Tang Rao was still no match for this massive creature.

The Hell Dog Shark whimpered, indicating it wasn't feeling well.

Tang Rao assessed the injuries, quickly producing a handful of Immortal Elixirs, stuffing them into the Hell Dog Shark's mouth, and it ate them all.

In its current state, taking Immortal Elixirs might be its only way to survive; without them, it would face certain death.

Seeing the severity of the injuries, Tang Rao offered the highest-grade Immortal Elixirs, the kind that couldn't be bought on the market. The Hell Dog Shark seemed to realize this and no longer harbored any defenses against Tang Rao.

The wounds on the Hell Dog Shark began to heal at a visibly rapid pace, regaining its peak strength in less than an hour.

"Thank you, I truly thank you."

The Hell Dog Shark no longer emitted an aura of aggression, and Tang Rao was witnessing this side of the creature for the first time.

"It's nothing. I saw you seemed to be searching for me earlier, and I was just looking for you, not expecting to find you injured."

Tang Rao chalked it all up to coincidence. Googlᴇ search novelFirｅ.net

With its wounds healed, the Hell Dog Shark didn't think much further.

"Now that you're healed, I should be on my way."

He didn't expect to gain anything from the Hell Dog Shark; rescuing it was purely instinctual, seeking a benevolent connection in this place.

"Please wait."

The Hell Dog Shark was able to stand up, coming up to Tang Rao, its entire shadow enveloping him.

"You can't leave yet. As someone with the bloodline to access the third world, there are some things I believe you need to know."

The Hell Dog Shark had wanted to say this before but held back due to their not-so-great relationship. Now, unable to protect itself, it felt it was time to pass this burden to someone else.

"What do you mean, is there some specific requirement to enter the third world?"

Tang Rao had never heard of any such requirements from Uncle Zhou.

"You have no idea; the endless ocean is in turmoil!"

When speaking of the chaos in the endless ocean, the Hell Dog Shark appeared deeply saddened.

Having guarded this place for hundreds of thousands of years, time had passed so long that it almost forgot its own age.

Now, with the endless ocean in chaos and itself gravely wounded, the Hell Dog Shark was unwilling to see the entire endless ocean destroyed.

"Turmoil? What do you mean?"

Tang Rao was alarmed; if there was true turmoil, wouldn't the first to suffer be innocent humans like them?

Tang Rao didn't dare claim his strength surpassed that of the immortal beasts.

"The endless ocean has existed for an immeasurable length of time, and from what I know, it has always been balanced. With its abundant resources, you can't even fathom the countless treasures here."

The Hell Dog Shark paused to catch its breath: "Now, who knows how many immortal beasts are coveting those treasures? I'm afraid I can no longer guard them."

The Hell Dog Shark bowed its head, eyes filled with endless helplessness.

"What then? We can't just let others snatch everything away; what do you intend to do?"

The Hell Dog Shark's words were brutally honest, and it would be strange for Tang Rao not to understand their meaning.

Of course, Tang Rao's questions indicated his interest and unwillingness to outright refuse.

"I want you to take all the treasures and go as far as you can. Of course, taking these treasures will put your life at risk. Are you willing?"

What would the whole endless ocean's treasures amount to?

More than Tang Rao and Uncle Zhou... no, more than the entire Land of Immortals, surely?

Tang Rao thought merely risking a bit of his life to obtain so much wasn't too bad a deal.

"What makes you think I would just take the treasures and return them to you?"

Tang Rao mulled it over, thinking the world couldn't possibly contain such an easy gain, asking more questions to feel more at ease.

"I never intended to get anything back. I'm giving you the treasures of the entire endless ocean, purely because only you have the strength to carry on their legacy."

The Hell Dog Shark had such faith in Tang Rao's capabilities and bloodline that it gave him its complete trust.

"Give them to me? You're saying you'll give them all to me?"

Had Tang Rao not woken up yet? How did he feel like the whole situation was fantastical, with treasures exceeding those in the Land of Immortals being handed to someone they didn't know? The Hell Dog Shark was the true sovereign.

"All of them are for you to use. Just make sure to protect them and preserve their legacy. In this lifetime, I don't have much hope left."

Yet to come were pursuers more numerous than now. The Hell Dog Shark had a mission, and failure to achieve it would mean facing the Immortal Emperor's punishment, an agony it couldn't endure.

"Don't be so disheartened. Believe me, one day, these treasures will reach their full potential. I won't let them be easily taken!"
