Chapter 165: Encounter with the Devil Soul Great White Shark_2
```
He needed to closely watch the trends on Soul Land; if a major incident really occurred, he wouldn't be caught off guard. The Purple Pearl Pirate Group was, after all, a rather good source of information.
Purple Pearl was taken aback and couldn't help asking, "Just this matter?"
Qin Xiao nodded, "If you can accomplish this, you may take the others and leave."
As Qin Xiao's voice fell, the nine soul rings also disappeared back into his body, and everyone in the area felt the pressure suddenly lighten.
The invisible mountain that seemed to crush them had vanished.
People looked towards Qin Xiao subconsciously and noticed that he had stood up at some point.
"Do you really have no other requests?"
Purple Pearl asked again for confirmation.
Qin Xiao did not elaborate, just nodded lightly.
"Fine. I agree to your terms."
"Captain Heider, take good care of Your Highness."
With that, Purple Pearl waved her arm and declared, "Brothers, we're pulling out."
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Upon receiving Purple Pearl's command, the pirates who were already terrified began to descend from the Sea Demon like escaping for their lives.
Purple Pearl was the last to leave.
Suddenly, she stood before the mast, turned her head to ask Qin Xiao, "Your Highness, do you require any special services?"
With an insinuating tone, she added, "I suddenly find myself interested in men too, what they can do, I can do as well..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao smiled faintly, "Oh, I do have some special preferences, can you accept that?"
Ah, this...
Purple Pearl's expression froze upon hearing this.
She had just become open to the idea of men, but she couldn't yet accept a man who played too wildly.
She fell silent and somberly slinked away from the Sea Demon.
"Your Highness, what should we do next?"
Seeing that Purple Pearl had left, Captain Heider mustered the courage to ask.
Without a doubt, Purple Pearl had abandoned him here, treating him as a disposable pawn.
Only by serving the noble before him well could he hope to live.
Qin Xiao said, "Continue moving forward, the sooner we reach Sea God's Island, the better."
"Yes, I'll see to it right away."
Heider nodded vigorously and then irritably said to the many sailors around him, "What the hell are you all standing around for? Didn't you hear what the noble said? Give it everything you've got, make the Sea Demon sail faster."
"Understood."
The crew dared not delay and immediately busied themselves.
The sea breeze blew, and the sun's rays rendered manifold glimmers upon the gently undulating ocean.
Five days later.
Heider stood at the bow with his telescope, intensely scanning the distance.
Gradually, a tiny black dot appeared on the horizon.
"Stop the ship, drop the anchor!"
He gestured broadly and bellowed.
"Yes!"
The sailor beside him responded emphatically and immediately lowered the anchor.
Boom, boom, boom, boom...
An iron chain as thick as a water bucket rubbed against the capstan, sparking brilliantly.
Gradually, the Sea Demon came to a halt.
Qin Xiao, Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran, Ning Rongrong, and Dugu Yan, a group of five, sensed the anomaly and came out of the cabin.
Upon seeing them, Heider immediately stepped forward to greet, "My lord, you have come out."
"What's the situation now?" Qin Xiao asked indifferently.
In truth, he had already noticed the black dot on the horizon from afar. He understood that they must have neared Sea God's Island.
Hearing Qin Xiao's inquiry, Heider promptly replied, "My lord, this is as far as we can take you. Beyond this point is Sea God's Island territory. Any ship entering this perimeter will immediately come under attack from the Guardian Beast of the Island."
```
"What exactly is the Guardian Beast of the Island?"
Zhu Zhuqing and the others all harbored this doubt in their hearts.
Next to him, Ning Rongrong said, "Captain Heider, you're not trying to start some trouble again, are you?"
Upon hearing this, Captain Heider replied with a bitter smile, "Beautiful miss, you really think too highly of me. In front of His Majesty, even if I had ten lives, I wouldn't dare to have any crooked ideas. The Guardian Beast of the Island does exist."
Of course, I haven't seen it, and all of this is hearsay that I learned from Captain Purple Pearl. Legend has it that the Guardian Beast of the Island is the Devil Soul of the Great White Shark king that has cultivated for a hundred thousand years and is the mount of the Sea God. Moreover, the nearby waters are home to at least hundreds of Devil Soul Great White Sharks, forming a natural barrier.
Captain Purple Pearl has told us to keep a sense of awe and never to sail into the area guarded by the Devil Soul Great White Sharks."
After listening to Captain Heider's words, Qin Xiao nearly imperceptibly nodded his head.
He knew what Heider said was true, and indeed, they were about to enter the area guarded by the Devil Soul Great White Shark king, little white.
However, Zhu Zhuqing and the others were not as calm as Qin Xiao. "Sea God's Island truly is a relic left by the Sea God; there are actually hundred-thousand-year soul beasts here!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes shone, and she rubbed her hands together eagerly, "I really want to see what a legendary hundred-thousand-year soul beast Devil Soul Great White Shark looks like."
Captain Heider: "..."
In his heart, he couldn't help but mutter, it's probably for the best not to encounter it.
Because those who have seen the Devil Soul Great White Shark king have almost all died...
"You'll have your chance."
As Qin Xiao spoke, he walked to the bow of the ship and waved his hand, taking out the Longyuan Boat they had bought.
With a surge of Soul Power flowing into it, the Longyuan Boat instantly turned into a streak of light that floated up and descended towards the sea surface. The boat quickly grew larger, and in the blink of an eye, it had transformed into a special small boat approximately twelve meters long.
"Let's go. On the next stretch of this journey, we can only use this to get through."
As Qin Xiao's voice fell, his body floated up as if weightless.
Immediately after, a powerful burst of Soul Power erupted from him, enveloping Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran, and the others as well.
Suddenly, something strange happened.
All four of them floated up weightlessly and, following Qin Xiao, landed on the Longyuan Boat.
It must be said that the Longyuan Boat's high price was indeed justified.
The group landed on the Longyuan Boat as if on solid ground, not causing any wobble due to their descent; it was very stable.
"Don't just stand there, find a spot to sit, we're about to set sail," said Qin Xiao as he moved to the front and sat down.
Hearing this, everyone also took their seats.
Immediately after, Qin Xiao raised his hand, and powerful Soul Power surged out, landing on the crystal in front of him.
The next moment, the hatch above closed instantly, sealing off the outside air and noise.
Under the drive of Soul Power, the Longyuan Boat quietly sank into the sea. The fin-like wings on both sides of the boat started moving, slicing through the water as it advanced.
However, Qin Xiao seemed unsatisfied with this, increasing the output of Soul Power, and in an instant, the speed of the Longyuan Boat more than doubled.
A strong g-force made everyone's backs press tightly against their seats.
About an hour later.
Ning Rongrong exclaimed, "That white shark we just passed must have been at least ten meters long, right? Was that a Devil Soul Great White Shark?"
Qin Xiao, with his back to Ning Rongrong, said, "Congratulations, you are correct. And there's a surprise waiting for you."
"What surprise?"
Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up, "Qin Xiao, if you want to give me a gift, you really don't need to beat around the bush like this."
Qin Xiao: "..."
He hadn't expected Ning Rongrong to make such a misunderstanding, which was simply wishful thinking...
With a sense of helplessness, he explained, "You've misunderstood. The surprise I'm talking about is that although we found the Devil Soul Great White Shark, it has also discovered us. And our current actions are akin to rampaging through their home... The surprise I'm talking about is that we are about to face the pursuit of the Devil Soul Great White Sharks."
"What pursuit!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes widened in shock.
You have to understand, this is not a surprise, but a shock.
She still remembered what Captain Heider had said. The Devil Soul Great White Shark wasn't just a powerful sea soul beast clan; among them was the mighty king, the former mount of the Sea God, a real hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
Could Qin Xiao, still recovering from severe injuries, deal with such an entity?
She was very worried.
Indeed, not just Ning Rongrong but Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran, and the others had serious expressions on their faces.
Seeing everyone with tense faces, Qin Xiao couldn't help but laugh, "Why so nervous? It's not going to help. Look, the Devil Soul Great White Shark clan is already charging at us..."
