Chapter 257: Battle Yun Shu (Two in One, Seeking Monthly Votes)_4
The ghost fiercely grasped a cloud of fog, while the dark supernatural power remaining in its body surged wildly, wrapping the cloud repeatedly within it.
The dark energy in its claws rapidly converged, quickly transforming into a small black doll that strikingly resembled the Swallowing Cloud Whale's form.
A Witch Gu Doll!
Having done all this, the ghost was completely exhausted.
Feeling the oppressive force suddenly strengthen around it, it closed its eyes and used its last bit of strength to snap the doll in two.
I refuse to lose!
…
Under numerous anxious gazes, the clouds and darkness simultaneously shattered and dissipated, transforming into a powerful Energy Storm that swept through the surrounding area.
Battling against the Energy Storm, Lin Su was the first to rush in and embrace the falling ghost.
At this moment, the ghost's condition was not good, its body appeared somewhat twisted, and there were injuries similar to fractures in several places, causing it to clench its teeth and groan in pain.
Severely injured, but not fatally so.
"Gulu gulu!" (I'll heal you!)
A monarch-level Mushroom rushed to Lin Su's side and immediately used the Life Spore to begin healing the ghost.
It was Qin Nan's.
Lacking the quirky personality of Zhang Xiaoyu's Mushroom, this Mushroom, although equipped with fighting skills, was also adept at healing.
Watching the ghost quickly improve with the Mushroom's help, Lin Su at last breathed a sigh of relief and noticed a black doll that it was still clutching tightly, slowly dissipating in its hand.
Fuck… a Witch Gu Doll was used?
Hope it didn't kill the opponent?
Lin Su's expression changed slightly as he quickly turned to look for the Swallowing Cloud Whale with whom the ghost had battled.
In the distance, the Swallowing Cloud Whale had also fallen to the ground, emitting bursts of pain.
While there wasn't much visible damage on its body's surface, its midsection seemed to have been bent to the side from a powerful grip, appearing likely fractured.
By the Swallowing Cloud Whale's side, three figures were tightly surrounding it, including the Sea Singer and Sea Night Demon that were already accompanying it, and unexpectedly, an almost colorless and transparent behemoth, about a hundred meters long, had appeared.
The enormous creature had a pair of crimson eyes, and its body, snake-like, was covered with rows of fins; at the top of its head was a long, sharp stingray-like spine that looked incredibly sharp.
At that moment, the behemoth first looked at Yun Shu with concern and then cast a somewhat hostile glance toward Lin Su and his companions.
"A Water-type middle-tier Emperor species, the Shadowless Dragon Fish," Tang Cui softly said, his expression somewhat grave.
This was an Emperor-rank being, highly revered in any aquatic beastly power hierarchy.
But at this moment, it seemed to be the protector of the Swallowing Cloud Whale.
This was quite unexpected.
"Humans, you shouldn't have attacked our Water Kingdom's Prince Yun Shu so harshly!" the Shadowless Dragon Fish said, its voice carrying a hint of gloom.
Suddenly, the surroundings erupted in surprise.
Even Lin Su and his companions were shocked by the information in those words.
The Prince of the Water Kingdom?
That Swallowing Cloud Whale, is it the undying offspring?
This is not good…
Lin Su had just proposed that alliance, and the other party hadn't responded yet.
At this critical moment, that undying offspring had been seriously injured.
And it was by Lin Su's own beast…
Nan Yue Ran's eyes flickered slightly, then he quickly showed a resolve.
Calmly stepping forward, with a flash of dark gleam at his feet, an Emperor-level Black Dragon suddenly appeared, confronting the Shadowless Dragon Fish imposingly.
"Ignorance is not a sin; we didn't know beforehand that the Swallowing Cloud Whale was the son of the Water Kingdom's ruler," he spoke calmly, "Besides, our beast was also seriously injured by it; this fight is a draw."
"I see neither of you three has healing abilities. Now, the most urgent thing is to heal your Prince Yun Shu, isn't it?"
"Luckily, we have healing beasts here."
Seeing the Black Dragon, whose presence was no less intimidating than its own, the Shadowless Dragon Fish showed a hint of wariness.
If a fight broke out, it and this new opponent would likely be well-matched.
Moreover, the rational words from this human Beast Tamer made sense; the most pressing issue was indeed treating Prince Yun Shu.
Furthermore, before it had secretly followed to protect the Prince, the King had also advised avoiding conflict with humans whenever possible.
So, the Shadowless Dragon Fish, after a moment of struggle in its eyes, spoke solemnly, "My apologies, I was a bit heated earlier; please help us heal him."
During the standoff, Mushroom had used the Life Spore to fully heal the ghost, and under Qin Nan's direction, without hesitation, it moved next to Yun Shu and began to heal him.
The atmosphere between the two sides gradually eased, not exactly friendly but no longer as tense as before.
Moments later, Yun Shu also recovered completely with Mushroom's help, swimming freely among the clouds as if not suffering from any residuals.
Watching the ghost from afar, Yun Shu's eyes showed a hint of dejection.
In the ocean, it had never found an equal amongst its peers; it had assumed the same would be true on land, but it had unexpectedly found a match in a random terrestrial opponent.
Could it be that it was actually weak?
"Prince Yun Shu, let's return to the Water Kingdom."
Having just been severely injured and exposed as the Prince of the Water Kingdom, the Shadowless Dragon Fish dared not let him continue roaming freely anymore.
