Candlewood Island, offshore waters.
A lone Spirit Fire Raft drifted across the sea, swaying with the waves.
Yet beneath the seemingly tranquil sea hid surging undercurrents.
Two blurry figures were locked in combat below, flashing past each other in a muddled tangle.
Until... a flash of white sword light!
It was as though a dazzling flower of flame bloomed beneath the surface, vanishing in an instant.
The waves beneath the Spirit Fire Raft gradually calmed.
A moment later, the sea split apart. Brother Yu grabbed the edge of the raft and climbed aboard, carrying a sinister black monster head in one hand.
The head had already begun turning to ash and slowly dissipating.
But Brother Yu did not care about that.
He wanted to watch this thing turn to ash and disappear.
Only after the very last trace of the head had vanished did Brother Yu let out a breath.
His great vengeance had been avenged. That felt good...
The Giant-tailed Sea Monster was not particularly strong. It was still of the Cinder tier, but clearly stronger than other monsters. Coupled with the ocean's restrictions on the Candle Spirit Physique, hunting it had been quite difficult.
Li Miao and Yuanfang had not paid much attention to this creature.
So Brother Yu had gotten the first kill.
He then glanced at the murky, billiard-ball-sized pearl in his hand.
[Giant-tailed Sea Monster Pearl] [Type: Special item] [Effect: Unknown] [Description: A special item dropped after killing a Giant-tailed Sea Monster. It seems to contain a trace of a special life aura.]
"What kind of drop is this? Not even a single piece of bait."
Brother Yu frowned at it.
But having just gotten his revenge, he was in a great mood. There was no need to fuss over such minor details.
