Chapter 2601


    “Look, what’s that under the sea?”


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    “Ahhhh, there’re so many fishes! All of them are fish skeletons!”


    The few all looked down beneath the surface, and they saw millions of fish skeletons, each the size of


    a water tank. All following behind the golden boat, some swam faster bit on Immortal Bird’s bones. That


    was why it’s wailing.


    Xerxes took a look and said, “These are piranhas.”


    He then said to the Immortal Bird, “With your abilities, you should’ve long activated spiritual


    intelligence. And you should be able to speak and control the size of your body. What’s the matter with


    you?”


    The Immortal Bird didn’t know how to talk, and it could only make noises.


    Alex exined. “I think its brain development is slower than usual. It might have suffered polio.”


    The Immortal Bird opened its eyes wide, freezing up. After that, Xerxes sped up the boat by two times.


    Only then were they able to get rid of the weird fishes.


    The Immortal Bird shook them off violently as well. It was finally able to rx and drooped its head


    tiredly on the boat. It looked at Alex bitterly, as if unhappy about Alex mentioning its polio.


    Mystic Maiden asked, “What’s up with that Corpse King’s daughter?”


    Xerxes said, “She… Oh yeah, I still don’t know who you guys are. How did you get in?”


    Alex didn’t want to reveal his true identity, so he lied. “We’re with Homan Technology. We entered here


    with the Buddhist relic.”


    Surprisingly, Xerxes knew about them. “The Hancock family?”


    Alex nodded, “Yup, I’m York Hancock. This is my sister Lylith Hancock. As for the bird, we just met it.”


    Xerxes and Mandy didn’t doubt his words.


    The fact that Alex mentioned Homan Technology and the affair rumor about Commander Benson was


    enough to prove Alex’s identity. He was indeed a trialist from Earth.


    Xerxes exined, “I’m not sure if you guys have been to the ancient city down south. A troop of


    corpses appeared there, but they were actually being controlled. The person behind all this is Corpse


    King.”


    Xerxes then had been trapped in the city. All exits were sealed dead, and everyone inside became the


    targets of the soldiers. No one could escape. Finally, Xerxes decided to risk everything he had.


    He snuck into the heart of the city and found a huge tomb. In the tomb, he found the Corpse King’s


    daughter. Grabbing her as a hostage, he made the king open the gates of the city.


    He escaped and, at the same time, provided a chance of survival for the others stuck there.


    Alex was moved. It meant that Daya and the others could escape the ancient city alive because of


    Xerxes.


    “Why did she call you her beloved?”


    “You carried her out of the tomb, and she decided you’re the one? And wanted to have children with


    you?”


    Xerxes was disgusted. He shuddered at the thought of the woman‘s hideous face, and he couldn’t even


    bear the thought of it.


    Mandy said, “She’s just fantasizing.”


    The fact that her man was loved and targeted by a hideous creature made her very upset


    Just at that moment, grey clouds swarmed the skies above them, and the tide grew swiftly. The skies


    were clear just a second ago, but suddenly, it was dark. Moreover, the crew felt a thick sense that a


    dark aura hade with the sudden grey clouds.


    “Look, someone seems to be within the clouds!” Lh pointed to the rumbling clouds and mentioned


    loudly.


    Everyone was stunned, there really was a person.


    ‘Wasn’t this restricted airspace?’


    Soon, the silhouettes among the clouds gradually became clearer. First, the heads appeared, then the


    bodies. They moved in sync as soldiers would.


    “Corpse Kingdom’s troops!” Principal Lewin looked grim as he spat out the words.


    Right then, the soldiers said together, “ Greetings, our prince consort. Pleasee with us!”
