Shen Gongbao secretly rejoiced. This country bumpkin really was easy to fool!

But he did not rush to reveal his plan. Instead, he pointed at the Clam Pearl in Poseidon's hand:

"What do you think of this treasure pearl, fellow Daoist?"

Poseidon frowned.

Yet he felt a gentle, soothing power flowing from the pearl.

It was slowly repairing the wound on his back, and surprise appeared on his face.

"Good... it truly is a treasure!"

"From what I investigated before, there are at least five more pearls like this in that Shrimp Soldier's cave dwelling!"

Shen Gongbao lowered his voice, his eyes gleaming.

"The situation was urgent just now, so I only had time to take one. Now that the Shrimp Soldier is chasing us, his lair must be empty..."

"If we strike back now, we can not only seize all the treasures, but also vent our anger properly. Wouldn't that be satisfying?"

Poseidon's aura surged when he heard this.

But then he remembered the Shrimp Soldier's terrifying strength.

He immediately wilted by half.

"This grudge... I will remember it well and repay it a hundredfold someday!"

Poseidon said fiercely, though inwardly timid.

"Fellow Daoist, why wait until someday to take revenge?"

Shen Gongbao took out a yellow paper talisman and confidently patted Poseidon's shoulder.

"I have a Thousand-Mile Instant Travel Talisman here that can teleport us directly to that Shrimp Soldier's lair."

"By the time he notices, the two of us will already be thousands of miles away—"

At this point,

he deliberately paused and glanced sideways at Poseidon.

"Fellow Daoist, you're hesitating like this... could it be that you're afraid of that Shrimp Soldier?"

Shen Gongbao did not forget to provoke him at the very end.

"Hmph! I am the mighty Sea God. How could I possibly fear him?!"

Poseidon stiffened his neck, as if he had not been the one skewered in midair just moments ago.

"Then we'll go! It'll be the perfect chance to show that Shrimp Soldier the consequences of offending me!"

"Good, good, good! Fellow Daoist, you truly are forthright. I admire you!"

Shen Gongbao glanced at the crimson figure rapidly approaching across the distant sea, then grabbed Poseidon by the arm.

"That Shrimp Soldier is about to catch up. Fellow Daoist, hold tight!"

He muttered an incantation, and the talisman suddenly blazed with golden light.

The next moment, the two vanished into thin air.

Sea God Island.

Watching the Sea God get led around by the nose by Shen Gongbao's few words on the Sky Screen,

everyone could not help but hold their foreheads and sigh.

Fuck... even an idiot could see that it was a trap!

How could the wise and mighty Lord Sea God believe him?

He had just been tricked, yet he had already forgotten the pain?

Was this the god they worshipped?

"Third Brother... do you think the Sea God inheritance passes down intelligence too?"

Ma Hongjun hunched his neck and muttered softly, looking as though he were afraid of being infected.

"Don't talk nonsense. It's just that scoundrel is too cunning!"

Tang San could not help retorting. He felt embarrassed too!

Wasn't it said that

people would not fall in the same place twice?

Bo Saixi was also stunned by the Sea God's actions. In a moment of distraction,

she was violently sent flying by a tail sweep from the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

With a bang,

she was stuck against Sea God Island's protective barrier and did not slide down for a long while!

"Damn it... I got one eye poked blind by that idiotic bastard back then?!"

The more the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King watched, the angrier he became, and the more stifled he felt.

"And I worried day and night that he'd come knocking... I deserved to lose that eye!!"

Losing to a great hero was not shameful.

But losing to an idiot... wasn't that the same as admitting he was even more idiotic than an idiot?!

Bo Saixi hung from the barrier.

Watching the Whale King rage in humiliation, she no longer even had the strength to explain.

She was tired.

Destroy it all!

The golden light faded.

Poseidon and Shen Gongbao had arrived in the depths of the sea.

"Say... if you had this ability, why didn't you use it earlier?"

Poseidon swept his gaze over the pitch-black seabed around them and asked in confusion.

"You don't know, fellow Daoist. This Instant Travel Talisman has a limited teleportation range and can only travel to places I have marked beforehand!"

Shen Gongbao explained with a bitter smile.

"So that's how it is..."

Poseidon reluctantly accepted the explanation, but could not help asking,

"Then what was with that Shrimp Soldier earlier? How could he be so strong?"

"Could he be some hidden expert?"

Shen Gongbao's expression turned strange.

But when he recalled that, upon first meeting this fellow Daoist, Poseidon had called everyone "ants" and demanded to be taken to attack the Heavenly Court,

he understood.

"Ah, fellow Daoist, you truly have discerning eyes!"

Shen Gongbao slapped his thigh and lowered his voice.

"That Shrimp Soldier is actually the reincarnation of an extraterritorial Devil Emperor. He has been lurking in the East Sea for many years... I only encountered you because of guidance from the Heavenly Dao!"

"Ah, enough talking. Let's hurry and rid the Prehistoric World of this menace together!"

Shen Gongbao grabbed Poseidon's arm and headed deeper inside.

If he kept talking, he would not be able to make anything else up!

Poseidon wore an expression of just as I thought, then followed Shen Gongbao deeper into the cave with a proud look on his face.

"Fellow Daoist, the treasure pearls should be ahead. But there are too many forks in this cave dwelling. How about we search separately?"

Shen Gongbao suggested.

"We'll meet back here after the time it takes an incense stick to burn."

"Good, good!"

Poseidon nodded repeatedly.

He had already sensed a familiar aura just now, identical to the treasure pearl in his hand.

Seeing Shen Gongbao head in the opposite direction,

he naturally did not say anything.

The moment Shen Gongbao left, Poseidon immediately followed the sensation he had felt earlier.

Sure enough,

after taking only a few steps,
