However, Ji Yuan was the unexpected one!
The leading Patterned Wolf rfolk retreated several feet in shock at the sight of the sea beast that appeared before him.
The rest of the rfolk also cried out in panic.
It was clear that they all knew the terror of this sea beast.
Sitting idly by was not an option. The Patterned Wolf rfolk gripped his spear tightly, and the tattoo on his back imdiately glowed with a bloody light, just as he was about to take action.
He suddenly discovered a figure appearing out of thin air in front of him.
A figure with two legs.
This person appeared right beside the head of the sea beast.
Then the Patterned Wolf rfolk witnessed a scene he would never forget: he saw this person raise his right hand and bring it down in a hamr-like motion, and imdiately this sea beast, which could have taken his life... just died.
Its head was effortlessly pierced by the punch.
"%￥#@&"
"..."
The remaining rfolk shouted out in unison.
Ji Yuan casually washed his right hand clean in the seawater, then slightly turned his body to glance at the leading Patterned Wolf rfolk.
The latter imdiately understood and hurriedly bowed to Ji Yuan.
Then he took the initiative to move forward, dragging the tail of the sea beast and continued swimming forward.
The remaining four rfolk picked up the sea fish’s corpse and followed closely behind.
But when they looked at Ji Yuan again, their eyes were filled with both fear and reverence.
Ji Yuan, as always, fell to the back and acted as their guardian.
From then on, the journey was much smoother, until a day later, they encountered the sa kind of sea fish as before.
As expected, it was Ji Yuan who acted again.
But this ti, he was smarter, preparing a stone in advance to shatter the brain of the fish.
The harvest was so bountiful that they couldn’t carry it all, so Ji Yuan had to carry so himself.
But thinking back on all the Tier Two Sea Beasts he had slain along the way... it seed like such a waste.
Finally, the group of rfolk arrived in front of a massive underwater mountain range, which Ji Yuan had already detected with his Divine Sense, revealing a crack in the rock wall ahead.
The leading Patterned Wolf rfolk halted and chattered for a while, and then the other five rfolk struggled to drag the sea beasts’ corpses into the rock wall.
...An array?
Or an illusion realm?
Ji Yuan’s interest was piqued at the sight.
An array was unlikely, as the Fallen Immortal Gully did not allow for the existence of Spiritual Qi.
The Patterned Wolf rfolk returned to Ji Yuan’s side and gestured for him to proceed.
...The rfolk’s manners were not much different from humans, suggesting they might indeed have so inexplicable relationship with the Human Race.
Ji Yuan nodded slightly and swam forward.
He finally reached the rock wall, and just as the Patterned Wolf rfolk tried to lead the way, Ji Yuan had already stepped through the rock wall in one stride.
After that step, his sight opened up.
What Ji Yuan saw was a scene reminiscent of a dreamland.
Within the underwater mountain range was a vast space. The stone walls all around were adorned with luminescent stones, illuminating the place as if it were daylight. There were also nurous gigantic shells, seemingly decorative but also resembling dwellings.
rfolk swam everywhere, both male and female.
The male rfolk were rather hideous, but the female rfolk were extrely beautiful.
Each had exquisite features, with deep chests reminiscent of vast seas.
Um... like seas that embrace all rivers.
But unfortunately, they were all covered by shells.
Their skin was extrely fair, and under the cave’s luminescence, it seed almost glowing.
Seeing these rfolk inevitably reminded Ji Yuan of Yun Qianzai.
Back in the Coastal City, his second senior brother had enthusiastically recomnded these rfolk.
Ji Yuan eventually relented and went to have a look with him.
As it turned out, the so-called rfolk were rely female cultivators who had practiced a unique cultivation technique.
’I never thought that true rfolk existed here.’
Ahead, a plaza was bustling with many rfolk, yet more rfolk were swimming over from all directions, all eager to look at the corpses of the sea beasts.
They were very excited, as if they hadn’t seen such a bounty for a long ti.
But gradually, so rfolk quieted down as they noticed a bizarre figure at the entrance!
A strange figure with an entirely different appearance from them.
So timid female rfolk began screaming, waking those who hadn’t noticed yet.
Soon, all the rfolk present beca aware of Ji Yuan’s presence, their gazes filled with vigilance.
Yet mostly, they were curious.
After all... it was just like when Ji Yuan had first seen these rfolk with fish tails.
It was also their first ti seeing a person with two legs.
Quickly, the Patterned Wolf rfolk swam in from the door.
As soon as he entered, he squealed a few remarks, and from the rfolk crowd, a smaller rfolk swam out.
Ji Yuan saw clearly that this was the earlier Patterned Dog rfolk.
The rfolk responded with a few sentences, which instantly cald the previously tense Patterned Wolf rfolk.
Ji Yuan had no doubts, as he had already extended his Divine Sense and observed everything clearly.
Behind these rfolk, an elder-looking rfolk was swimming over, with a cane in hand and flanked by four large young rfolk.
Ji Yuan’s Divine Sense had also detected the tattoos on the backs of these four rfolk, which featured... crabs!
A crab that looked very formidable.
But as for the elder rfolk, the wrinkles on his skin made it hard for Ji Yuan to see his tattoo clearly.
As soon as the elder rfolk arrived, the other rfolk made way and bowed to him, speaking words Ji Yuan couldn’t understand.
This elder rfolk was presumably... the patriarch of the rfolk?
Or their leader?
Ji Yuan gracefully floated forward, stopping in front of the elder rfolk, and slightly bowed.
Then he watched as the elder rfolk began to speak, gradually uttering a language that Ji Yuan was familiar with.
"Never... never expected that in my... my lifeti, I would... would still be able to see the Human Race."
"The last ti my clan saw the Human Race was still in my... my... grandfather’s grandfather’s ti."
