The old man had tears in his eyes as he replied, "That's right. The merfolk caused the flood. Merfolk are brutal in nature, and they wanted to take over this place. The old man sighed as he spoke as if he was reliving those old memories again. He fell silent for a while, then he said, "If I knew about the secret of the merfolk back then, I think the people of Gelsa wouldn't have died. Jenny wouldn't need to die either. It's a shame that it's all too late now. Jenny won't come back to life again, and I'll never leave Gelsa." Wilbur could understand the old man. The flood was a traumatic moment in his heart, after all. Regardless of who caused it, the people of Gelsa were dead and injured in the end. The whole town was submerged. It was a deep trauma that the old man could not let go of even after decades had passed. "I once swore that no one would know my name again, so I didn't tell you when you asked my name. In fact, the merfolk had been living under Gelsa Lake after Gelsa was
"What?" Wilbur was astonished when he heard the old man's words. He said, "Sir, are you asking me to go down to Lake Gelsa and snatch Jenny back from the hands of the merfolk?" "Exactly, that's what I mean." Upon hearing this, Wilbur said with a hint of frustration, "But this matter has nothing to do with the eighth dragon cauldron. Aren't you making things difficult for me intentionally?" The old man did not answer directly. Instead, after a moment of silence, he turned to look at the swirling snow outside and said, "If you feel troubled, you can leave. I won't stop you. Remember, no matter when you decide to leave, I won't stop you. Because I'm not begging you." "Okay." Wilbur did not argue back and just agreed to the old man's request. After all, after more than a month of contact, Wilbur had already understood the old man's character. The old man never went back on any decision he made and also proved that everything went just as he said it would. "However, I have a q
Jenny's body was in the church in the depths of Lake Gelsa. Because the merfolk swam extremely quickly, he would need to kill all of the merfolk if he wanted to bring Jenny's corpse out. Fortunately, the merfolk had an unchangeable characteristic—their aggressive nature. As long as enemies appeared, they would inevitably approach. At that time, as long as Wilbur used the terrain to his advantage, he could kill them one by one. The old man taught Wilbur a few simple movements with the harpoon, and Wilbur quickly learned them. After dark, the old man took Wilbur to the surface of Lake Gelsa, where snow was blowing everywhere. Then, he forcefully broke open a hole in the ice and said, "Alright, go down." "Okay." Wilbur nodded at the old man, then leaped into the lake and submerged. Wilbur immediately released his dragon aura. With that, Wilbur could sense everything within a radius of twenty meters with his dragon aura. As long as any merfolk appeared within twenty meters, Wil
However, right at that moment, there was a loud rumbling. The two iron gates that were in front and behind the church were locked shut. Immediately, from a hole above him, merfolk began rushing into the church. Every merfolk that rushed into the church immediately avoided Wilbur. In no time, more than a dozen merfolk rushed into the church. These merfolk surrounded Wilbur from all directions, pointing their harpoons at him, preparing for the final attack. One merfolk's lips moved, murmuring something, and in an instant, all the merfolk raised the harpoons in their hands and thrust them toward Wilbur. At the same time, Wilbur chanted a spell, and a colorful flow of light appeared above his head, activating the Dragon's Safehaven. The next moment, the harpoons struck the Dragon's Safehaven and were all bounced off. These merfolk quickly raised their harpoons again and rushed forward. When they repeatedly found that they could not harm Wilbur at all, these merfolk became furious, em
After doing all that, Wilbur heard the harsh sound of intense merfolk conversation from above the hole. Immediately, three merfolk crawled in from the hole. Two merfolk were holding harpoons, one on each side, protecting a larger-sized merfolk in the middle holding a staff. The three merfolk stood opposite Wilbur, glaring angrily. Just then, the merfolk on the left raised his harpoon, intending to rush forward to attack Wilbur, but the merfolk priest in the middle raised his staff to stop him, speaking a few cold words in the merfolk language. The merfolk hastily retreated, looking extremely respectful. The next moment, the two merfolk simultaneously stepped back and stood behind the merfolk priest. The merfolk priest raised his staff and chanted a spell. As the chanting sped up, the blue gem on the staff gradually emitted a dazzling blue light. The next moment, a blue electric light shot at Wilbur. Wilbur was hit by that light, and in the next second, it flickered twice on him
Could it be that he was absorbing Wilbur's spiritual energy and dragon aura? Thinking of this, Wilbur suddenly had a moment of realization as he cursed, "This guy, no wonder he didn't let his subordinates kill me. So, he's absorbing my energy." Curse that guy and his spatial power! Wilbur suddenly realized that he was being treated as an energy source, continuously providing energy to the merfolk. He felt angry because such behavior was an insult to a cultivator. Wilbur tried to struggle but found it futile. At this moment, the merfolk priest suddenly spoke in human language, saying, "Give up. Today, you won't escape." The fact that the merfolk priest spoke human language surprised Wilbur, but because he was underwater and lacked the fish gills of the merfolk, he could not converse with the merfolk priest. However, the merfolk priest guessed Wilbur's thoughts and said, "It's useless. This is the power of a law. As long as I'm unwilling to spare you, you'll be forever trapped
Wilbur felt the energy inside him continuously draining away as he struggled incessantly to no avail. At the same time, the merfolk priest showed a surprised expression and said, "I never expected that there would be so much power from a middle dimension hidden within you. It seems that killing you will elevate my strength to another level." The blue cube continued to devour the energy within Wilbur's body. Wilbur attempted several times to control the power of destruction to break through the cube's space, but unfortunately, as soon as the power of destruction appeared, it was absorbed by the blue cube. Not only did the blue cube have the ability to absorb the power of destruction, but there also seemed to be some kind of array inside it. Wilbur noticed golden spots constantly flickering on the blue cube. These golden spots formed different patterns, changing with each flicker, and their positions were never the same. "It seems you've discovered it." The merfolk priest's li
The golden dragon roared, and the next moment, the blue energy was continuously converted into the power of light by the Light Gloves, ultimately passing it into Wilbur's body and stored within the dragon's head mark on his back. Just two seconds later, the entire blue space began to shake. "What? How is this possible?" This blue space was created by the merfolk priest through some special energy. It was not only a domain space, but also a coexisting space formed with a certain contract by the merfolk priest. Now, the energy in this space was constantly dissipating, and the energy from the merfolk priest's body was also being continuously drained by this space. In just a few seconds, the merfolk priest's body lowered from a height of five meters to three meters. However, the suction force from the earth did not stop there. The merfolk priest was shocked as he looked at Wilbur with a fierce gaze. "All of this is caused by you! I'm going to kill you!" The merfolk priest swung t
