Three hours later, Purple Dragon dragged Zhang Beili and fled, followed by a group of ferocious beasts.
Zhang Beili was conquered by the Purple Dragon's stubbornness. He said helplessly, "I lost. I can't outlast you. If this continues, neither of us will be able to get the Heart of the Sea."
Purple Dragon then said in satisfaction, "At least you know what's good for you. Hurry up and kill them. I'm so angry!"
The Copper Coin of Heaven and Earth rapidly shrunk and flew back into the Purple Dragon's body.
Zhang Beili immediately felt that his strength had returned. His entire body was filled with strength.
The Purple Dragon had something to rely on. It transformed into a girl in a purple dress and gritted its teeth at the group of huge beasts chasing after it. "I told you to chase after them. Big Fish, eat them all!"
"Shut up!" Zhang Beili activated the Deep Sea Pressure, and a huge force crushed over.
Zhang Beili, who had recovered his strength, needed an outlet to vent, and this group of giant beasts happened to become his target. Their bodies were changed shape by the Deep Sea Pressure, and their bones creaked as they struggled in pain.
A Class S beast exploded with intense energy in an attempt to escape the influence of the Deep Sea Pressure. Then, a crescent moon shot over and pierced through its fatal spot.
In a short while, they became corpses floating in the sea.
Zhang Beili ate heartily while Purple Dragon watched quietly from the side. It was not that she had good morals and did not fight for it, but that she had already eaten her fill along the way.
After eating, Zhang Beili turned around and left.
"What's your name, Big Fish?" Purple Dragon caught up and asked.
Zhang Beili could not be bothered with her. He closed his eyes and recuperated.
"My name is Long Qiangyue," the Purple Dragon said. "Actually, I didn't lie to you just now. My uncles sacrificed themselves to break the Dragon Lock Prison and used a teleportation array to send me out to find the Heart of the Sea."
Zhang Beili still did not speak.
Long Qiangyue continued, "I admit that you're very strong, but you're not strong enough to snatch the Heart of the Sea. If we cooperate, there might be a chance of success."
Zhang Beili opened his eyes and saw Long Qiangyue looking at him sincerely.
"Are you done?" Zhang Beili asked calmly.
"I'm done." Long Qiangyue was stunned.
"How do we split the Heart of the Sea?" Zhang Beili asked.
"This…" Long Qiangyue hesitated. "We can use the Heart of the Sea to cultivate together."
"Follow me," Zhang Beili said. The deep sea was far more complicated than he had imagined. If what Long Qiangyue said was true, then the monster from the abyss at the bottom of the sea would definitely come to fight for the Heart of the Sea.
His strength alone was indeed flawed.
Long Qiangyue heaved a sigh of relief. She was worried that Zhang Beili would be angry because of the Copper Coin of Heaven and Earth. It seemed that this guy was not that petty.
"Big Fish, where did you come from?" Long Qiangyue asked.
"River City," Zhang Beili replied.
"After we get the Heart of the Sea, we'll go to your base camp to cultivate," Long Qiangyue said. She definitely could not return to the dragon's nest. She did not know where to go now.
"Okay!" Zhang Beili nodded.
Along the way, Long Qiangyue was the one who took the initiative to find a topic, while Zhang Beili only used a few simple words to brush her off.
"Why are you so cold?" Long Qiangyue couldn't take it anymore. As the princess of the Purple Dragon Race, she had always thought that she was living in the center of attention. When had she ever been ignored like this?
Hence, the two of them stopped communicating.
Zhang Beili was focused on the Heart of the Sea. He had wasted some time chasing after Long Qiangyue. He was afraid that the Heart of the Sea would be snatched away the moment it was born.
Long Qiangyue sat on his head and held his golden horn angrily.
"There's a small island over there. I'll make a call."
Zhang Beili had been swimming for a day and a night. This sea area was too magical as if there was no end to it. He guessed that perhaps the appearance of the Heart of the Sea had changed this place.
"There are humans occupying the island in advance." Long Qiangyue blinked.
"There's no conflict. I just want some space," Zhang Beili said. "If they don't give me face, just snatch it. The island doesn't belong to him."
"These humans are very powerful," Long Qiangyue reminded.
"Of course. If they're not powerful, how can they occupy an island to rest in this place that's filled with powerful living beings?" Zhang Beili retorted bluntly.
"…" Long Qiangyue decided not to talk to him anymore.
On a small island with coconut trees, more than ten humans were sitting cross-legged and cultivating. One of them was an old man with a bare upper body and bulging muscles. A terrifying aura emanated from his body, and his surging blood qi made the nearby deep-sea beasts, who were famous for their ferocity, cower in fear.
Zhang Beili entered the Spirit Armor Combat Body and strode towards the island with Long Qiangyue in one hand.
When these humans saw Zhang Beili suddenly appear, they were shocked. They stood up and stared at him warily.
The muscular old man said carefully, "Brother Demon, we have no intention of occupying this island. Let's leave now!"
Before Zhang Beili could speak, the old man took out a flying carpet. More than ten people stepped on it and fled.
"…" Zhang Beili pointed at himself and asked Long Qiangyue, "Am I that scary?"
"I don't know!" Long Qiangyue tilted her head and refused to look at him.
Zhang Beili did not think too much about it. He spat out his phone and used a spiritual finger to press on numbers.
There was only a little battery left on his phone. He used the last bit of battery to contact Zhang Xuanxuan. After knowing that the damn bald bird was not causing trouble and that everything was fine on the Purple Immortal Island, he felt relieved and turned off the phone.
"You know how to use human things?" Long Qiangyue, who did not want to talk to him, could not help but ask when she saw this strange scene.
"Do you want to learn it? Use a treasure to exchange for it," Zhang Beili said. "For example, that Copper Coin of Heaven and Earth."
"Dream on!" Long Qiangyue refused decisively.
After moving around the island briefly, Zhang Beili dove into the deep sea again and headed towards the Heart of the Sea with Long Qiangyue.
The two of them swam for another two days and two nights, but they were still a distance away from the Heart of the Sea.
"Something's wrong. Capture a human and ask him," Zhang Beili said.
"Strange, we can clearly sense that the Heart of the Sea is ahead, but we can't get close." Long Qiangyue was also puzzled.
Zhang Beili decided not to swim in the direction of the Heart of the Sea, but to look for humans.
After searching for a long time, he did not even find a shadow. Moreover, he realized that there were no mutated creatures around, and the deep-sea beasts were nowhere to be seen.
"We're lost." Zhang Beili could only say this cruel reality.
"What a disaster!" Long Qiangyue said.
Fortunately, at this moment, Zhang Beili was surprised to see a stream of light flash past in the sky, followed by a ferocious bird.
"It's those humans on the island." A purple light flashed across Long Qiangyue's beautiful eyes.
"Stop them!" Zhang Beili let out a low roar and jumped out of the water as if he had wings. Then, he transformed into the Spirit Armor Combat Body and grabbed the flying carpet with his huge hand.
There were now seven people on the flying carpet, and they were covered in wounds and blood. The muscular old man had even lost an arm.
The seven of them were filled with despair when they were suddenly stopped.
"Brother Demon, please spare our lives!"
