The Stone Demon's only weakness was probably its slow speed. But with a body that huge, even the slightest movement caused an earth-shaking disturbance. Both the seabed and the surface were now taking a catastrophic beating.
Ye Chuqi was grateful that humans could not easily enter the Sea of Exile. Even the Sea Beasts nearby had fled in panic from the Stone Demon's oppressive presence. Along this route, there was only Big Black Fish charging ahead and the Stone Demon pursuing him relentlessly. Ye Chuqi did not regret releasing such a monster. There was always a way. If all else failed, she would find a way to seal him again. It would just cost her a little more.
"Qi Qi, are you heading this way because you want the Stone Demon to fight the creatures at the other two Formation Eyes for you?" San San drew that conclusion from the direction Ye Chuqi had told Big Black Fish to take.
Ye Chuqi did have that in mind. The Stone Demon was not only alive but stronger than ever, and the tree had said no one but her had approached the Dragon-Scale Wood Forest all these years. That meant Kabu Continent had previously found only the Phoenix and the Merfolk, tampered with those two locations, and never discovered the tree.
Judging by distance and danger, the other two locations were very likely even more perilous. Since she could not let the Stone Demon go, making him her temporary "muscle" did not sound bad.
San San pondered for a moment, then said, "Qi Qi, have you considered that if there really is another opponent, and they happen to know each other, that big fellow behind us might join forces with them instead of fighting for us?"
Ye Chuqi: "..."
*Pah! Don't jinx
