Chapter 313 Anxious and Angry

Clara carefully took out a potion contained in crystal from her bosom, "This potion is named 'Eye of the Sea'. However, Your Majesty, currently, there is only this one bottle. I respectfully request Your Majesty to assign someone to test it."

"Are you joking, Clara? Just one bottle? You dare pull tricks in front of the Queen?" Valena immediately retorted.

She implied that Clara was playing tricks, showing distrust towards them and stirring up conflicts within the royal family. Even if there was indeed a potion, it was with impure intentions.

"Your Majesty, I obtained this from Master Thunder Dragon of the Holy Sanctuary. Thunder Dragon is in seclusion, pursuing the ultimate runes, and he is also a master of potions. Top-notch potions are inseparable from runes, and this is his masterpiece."

"How do you know it works!"

"Naturally, it has been tested. Unfortunately, there are only two bottles in total. To test it, I had Suokala try one bottle first. He was able to break the seal for nearly five minutes."

"Enough, who among you will test the potion for me?"

Upon hearing Soraka, the Queen's eyes lifted. She never restricts ambition or methods. How could a future queen lead the mermaid clan to greater glory without experiencing these? The Sea Whale and Sea Dragon clans have never relaxed their ambitions and dirty tactics.

However, she knew Soraka, a ghost-tier sea warrior. Although under Clara's command, he was actually loyal only to the mermaid royal family, not to any individual. Clara was well aware of this and naturally would not use Soraka's name to play tricks.

A general on the right, sensing the situation, stepped forward and said, "I humbly request Your Majesty's permission to test the potion."

In Alonzo City, the arcane barrier isolates the seawater. This is one of the reasons why the sea clan desires to lift the curse. The city must keep out the seawater to maintain comfort and luxury, but without seawater, they are choked by the curse...

"General Husha, I entrust this to you." The Queen nodded slightly.

Clara immediately handed the crystal potion bottle to General Husha.

Husha observed Clara's delicate, precise movements, feeling both belief and doubt. Under everyone's gaze, he didn't hesitate, opened the bottle seal, and drank it all at once.

He expected a delay before the effect, but in the blink of an eye, his eyes lit up!

"This is..."

His fin hair, drooping behind his head, suddenly stiffened. The visible arcane energy broke through a certain invisible boundary, rushing violently into his body.

"Fight!"

With a shout, arcane energy clad Husha in armor!

Boom!

Overwhelmed, Husha knelt before the Queen, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty! This is real, this is my Arcane Whale Armor, summonable only in the sea!"

Clearly, in front of the Queen, Husha dared not test violent and lethal moves, but this Arcane Whale Armor had already astonished everyone.

It was real!

The eldest princess Shayelona's eyes blazed, while the third princess Valena smiled, her fists clenched secretly. After Clara brought back the Eye of the Sea, she took over the subsequent enhancements and research. In a short time, she had invested countless connections and capital, which was why she had always targeted Clara. However, at this moment, all was in vain.

The second and fourth princes silently observed Clara, their eyes filled with suspicious calculations.

The Queen's eyes lit up with surprise, and she pointed to a seat not far in front of her, "Clara, you have done well. Come, be seated!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Clara took a deep breath and calmly sat down.

"Good, very good. Explain the origin of this potion, the Eye of the Sea. Where is the secret formula?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. I did not lie before. This potion was crafted by the human master Thunder Dragon. However, after Thunder Dragon discovered the potion's effect on our clan, he believed it would threaten the peace of the continent and boldly destroyed the secret formula. These two bottles are accidental leftovers..." Clara naturally would not disclose everything, but chose her words carefully. Last time, the Eye of the Sea was taken from her, this time, she would not make the same mistake again.

"If Thunder Dragon is so wary of our clan, how did these two samples end up in your hands?" Shayelona quickly asked.

Clara smiled slightly, "Thunder Dragon's disciple and I got along immediately, and he was greatly indebted to me, so he risked stealing these two bottles of stock. Your Majesty, Thunder Dragon, a formidable human, has a fiery temperament. This matter requires patience, not haste. Although the formula was destroyed, there are always traces in everything, and the same goes for brewing magic potions. Moreover, I’m confident I can keep persuading Thunder Dragon’s disciple, and there will always be a way to restore the formula."

The Queen looked deeply at Clara and nodded slowly, "Your words are wise; you’ve handled this very well. This matter, I’ll leave it to you to handle."

"Yes, thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. However... to obtain the formula, I will need more authority."

"That is only right, I remember you are currently..."

"The League of Blades branch of the Golden Shell Trading Company."

"Hmm, it seems now that it’s a waste of your talent. Pass the order, all human branches will be under Princess Clara’s control."

"Thank you for your great favor, Your Majesty." Clara quickly stood up and knelt to receive the order.

"Remember, spare no cost to get the formula!"

The Queen once again looked deeply at Clara.

Clara’s heart skipped a beat, as if she’d been completely exposed...

...

Old Wang cursed while tightly gripping Mo Tong's arm, but as soon as they entered the vortex, the arm he was holding disappeared, followed by a dizzying sensation, as if entering a spiral passage, his body shrinking along the passage and suddenly falling.

"Dammit, here we go again!" Old Wang cursed, tightly hugging his head and rolling on the ground.

Gurgle...

The surroundings were dim, as if in a strange cave, the ground felt damp to the touch, and the occasional echo of water droplets filled the cave, quiet and profound.

The only light came from the walls of the cave, where some shiny moss-like substances emitted a faint green glow, barely enough to see by.

Old Wang shook his head, the cave didn’t matter, the key was, where was his dear junior brother?

Actually, having Mo Tong by his side was quite safe, the reckless kid’s strength and his magical tools gave them the ability to protect themselves against anyone, but the problem was, he’d lost his junior brother again!

Old Wang was depressed, just about to release the ice bees to investigate the surroundings, when he heard another 'gurgle' sound, and a woman appeared out of nowhere.

She seemed quite skilled, her body barely touching the ground before she leapt up, but she didn’t anticipate the cave's illusion, her head bumped lightly against the cave ceiling, making a 'thud' sound.

This girl’s a bit clueless, and surprisingly, an acquaintance.

Old Wang laughed, waving at her, "Mapeier junior sister, quite skilled!"

Mapeier was also startled, never dreaming that she would run into Wang Feng as soon as she appeared, this is really... this is not outside anymore, she coldly said, "I’m older than you!"

"What’s bigger than me?" Old Wang was amused, his eyes narrowing, he reached out to grab, "Let me see!"

The two were too close, and Wang Feng's reaction was too bizarre, even Mapeier was a bit taken aback, a woman, especially a curvy one, would usually cover her chest, and in that instant, Mapeier had a killing intent.

But the next second, her movement stopped abruptly.

She saw that Wang Feng's outstretched hand only touched her head, and then he said with a smile, "Junior sister, let’s not talk about anything else, it’s true that if you eat someone’s food, you owe them, right? I just had my junior brother give you a Bloodsoul Orb, how can you turn your back on me so quickly? Do I really have to tie you up again to awaken your respect for your senior brother?"

"......"

Mapeier adjusted her emotions, she couldn’t be careless, who knows if there is surveillance here, as a qualified Mi, she must stay patient and steady.

Just arrived in a new environment, observing the surroundings is the most urgent, but she saw the damp ground in front of her wriggled slightly.

It was likely the vibration from Mapeier hitting her head on the cave ceiling earlier, or perhaps the sound of their conversation that disturbed the silence of the cave. A green, oval head silently emerged behind Old Wang's rear.

The green head lacked a nose but had misty white eyes and a gaping mouth filled with sharp teeth, dripping with green slime, seemingly venomous.

It silently opened its maw, targeting Wang Feng's backside.

A faint smile appeared on Mapeier's face. She didn’t relish killing; as a Mi, strength was usually just a tool for survival. What cleaner way was there than letting Wang Feng meet his end in the monster’s jaws?

"Senior Brother Wang Feng! I..." She was about to speak to distract Wang Feng, but unexpectedly, Wang Feng seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. Before the green head could bite down, he suddenly jumped up.

Bang!

The sharp teeth snapped shut, biting nothing but air, producing a loud clashing sound. Old Wang exclaimed, his eyes wide as he stared at the green head: "What the heck is that!"

Before he could get a clear look, the green head suddenly burst from the ground.

It was a lizard-like creature, about 1.2 meters long, with limbs splayed out. When it emerged from the ground, the surface remained intact, as if it had employed some earth-walking sorcery. It had a snake-like tongue that hissed as it darted out, long and swift, but instead of targeting Wang Feng, it shot like a sword toward Mapeier's chest.

Mapeier instinctively dodged, but the tongue missed, twisted mid-air, and swiftly coiled back, wrapping around her body like a lizard snagging a fly.

Snap!

A tremendous force surged through the tongue, instantly tightening it.

Startled, Mapeier grabbed a ledge on the cave wall. The tongue’s recoil was so forceful it nearly yanked her over.

"Junior Sister, don’t be afraid! Senior Brother will save you!" Old Wang swiftly drew the 'knockoff Yecha Wolf Fang Sword,' gripping it with both hands and slashing down hard at the long tongue.

Clang...

The knockoff sword bounced back, leaving the tongue completely unharmed. He’d always valued style over functionality, but this sword was just too dull.

Old Wang, embarrassed, muttered curses: "Patu, that cheapskate, can’t even slice through a tongue. What kind of junk did he make... Junior Sister, don’t panic! Stay calm, just a technical adjustment, I’ll figure it out!"

Mapeier sneered inwardly.

Such a fool. Waiting for him to save her would be like waiting for hell to freeze over.

She channeled her soul power, and a golden light burst from her eyes.

"Radiant Light!"

A blinding flash of light illuminated the cave, turning it as bright as day.

In the dim environment, the sudden intense light was so glaring that even Old Wang had to shield his eyes. The creature, unaccustomed to light, let out a piercing scream.

"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"

It shrieked sharply, and the tongue that had been wrapped around Mapeier suddenly released her.

The tongue retracted, and Mapeier finally broke free, immediately preparing to retreat.

She had no intention of using her spider silk to kill the enemy. Why kill the enemy? Sometimes, enemies could become friends. All she needed was to outrun Wang Feng...

But before she could finish that thought, the sound of hissing filled the air. Four or five green heads emerged from the cave walls, clearly disturbed by the earlier creature’s screams from deeper within the earth.

A smile crept onto Mapeier’s lips. Come on, the more there are, the greater the chance Wang Feng will die!

She was about to turn and run, but in the next second, a figure faster than her flew past, grabbing her hand and pulling her forward, accompanied by a completely unserious voice: "The thirty-sixth stratagem!"

Wang Feng?!

Mapeier was both shocked and astonished, feeling that Wang Feng's running speed was incredibly fast, nearly matching her own. This was unexpected for someone who hadn’t even reached Tiger Peak!

Just Old Wang’s usual routine, having pulled off impossible feats solo in his past life, inevitably involved facing bosses alone. In such situations, it wasn’t brute force but finesse that got the job done, and among all the technical skills, 'running' was an unavoidable issue.

The insect embryo had been nurtured for several months now. While combat skills were still lacking, his running skills were mostly back.

At this moment, a Wind Sprint spell had already been cast on his legs, coupled with a Rabbit Spirit spell, making him run like the wind.

Running fast wasn’t the only skill; the tongues of the green monsters behind him stabbed like swords, but Old Wang twisted left and right, his moves so slick they couldn’t lay a finger on him.

Is this guy an exorcist too? And his footwork, his speed, especially his keen perception, it was as if he had eyes on the back of his head, even sharper than her Blood Spider senses!

Mapeier was somewhat astonished, realizing everything she thought she knew about Wang Feng had just been flipped on its head. Could it be that this guy had been hiding his true strength all along?

Old Wang ran swiftly, but the green monsters behind him were even faster. The cave was their territory; they knew it too well. Even in terms of speed alone, these monsters were slightly ahead of Old Wang, but he just bought time by picking the right paths at forks and corners.

The passages in the cave twisted and turned, some even interconnected, like an ant nest with paths leading in all directions. The distance between the two sides was slowly closing.

A glint sparked in Mapeier’s eyes. They couldn’t escape after all, and soon there would be a result. The strength of these green monsters was not to be underestimated; she could feel it when their tongues wrapped around her earlier, at least at the level of Tiger Peak. Wang Feng, facing multiple enemies, was undoubtedly doomed. She needed to figure out her own escape...

But before her thoughts could fully form, she saw Wang Feng turn a corner ahead, pulling her with his right hand and dashing in. With a casual wave of his left hand behind him, he then flipped it over to press on Mapeier’s shoulder, forcefully pushing her down to the left side of the ground outside the cave entrance.

Mapeier was contemplating how to deal with these monsters after Wang Feng’s death when suddenly, Old Wang’s hands pressed down on her, leaving her with no strength to resist, directly pressing her to the ground.

Suddenly feeling the attack, Mapeier was both startled and furious!
