Not far away in mid-air, Shen Han Yu and Snow Empress stood side by side, while Bo Saixi maintained a certain distance from the two of them. All three gazed down calmly and steadily at the group of girls frolicking below.
Bo Saixi remained silent for a moment before speaking:
"The content of this fourth trial, I believe you already know. The Evil Demon Orca King has a cultivation base of over one hundred thousand years. Although Xiao Bai's cultivation is not far behind it, their races are different. In terms of one-on-one combat power, Xiao Bai is still far inferior to the Evil Demon Orca King. Moreover, the combat strength of the Evil Demon Orcas far exceeds that of the Demon Soul Great White Sharks. For these girls to pass the trial smoothly, I'm afraid it will still be quite difficult…"
Shen Han Yu raised an eyebrow, not particularly concerned.
"I know best what level these girls' strength is at. Converting the Evil Demon Orca King's combat power to human terms, it's roughly at the ninety-seventh rank. Although this level is powerful, it's not entirely without opportunity. As long as they're willing to use their heads, there will always be a way. Besides, they also have Xiao Bai's help…"
Bo Saixi glanced at Shen Han Yu with a calm, unrippled tone.
"That would be best. However, you cannot provide any assistance during this trial of theirs. This is a matter of principle. If any one of you takes action, this trial will be directly invalidated. Of course, this is not my intention…"
Shen Han Yu nodded and then said:
"I naturally understand this. Let them complete their trial on their own. My responsibility is only to lead them to become stronger, but every actual step must still be taken by them themselves…"
Only then did Bo Saixi nod gently. She slowly turned around, and her figure instantly vanished from mid-air.
Only then did Snow Empress slightly raise her eyes and ask:
"You're that confident in those few girls? The Evil Demon Orca King is no ordinary sea soul beast. Although the Demon Soul Great White Shark race is powerful, compared to the Evil Demon Orcas, they are indeed somewhat inferior…"
Shen Han Yu turned his head slightly and smiled helplessly.
"Just keep confidence in them. I believe that so many years of investment will not disappoint me…"
Snow Empress curled her lips and said softly:
"I hope so. Although we cannot intervene this time, we should still follow from afar. While we're at it, we can also see exactly what level these girls' strength has reached…"
Shen Han Yu smiled and nodded. He then reached out and took Snow Empress's hand.
Snow Empress's face showed a trace of disgust, but she still skillfully interlocked her ten fingers with Shen Han Yu's, feeling the warmth of the other party, as if she would never tire of it…
…
After the girls had frolicked for a while, they seriously and calmly analyzed the situation with Xiao Bai and studied some tactics. Once everything was fully prepared, Xiao Bai was the first to leap up and dive straight into the sea, reverting to her true form.
Her streamlined, perfect body slowly surfaced. Xiao Bai nodded toward the girls, then turned around. Her massive tail fin flicked, splashing quite a bit of seawater.
Shui Bing'er and Shen Liu Yu were the first to leap onto Xiao Bai's back. The others also jumped onto the backs of the other Demon Soul Great White Sharks, one after another. For the sake of protecting the auxiliary system soul master, Ye Lingling's position was arranged in the very center, with Dugu Yan and Xue Wu accompanying her on either side to ensure her safety.
Accompanied by Xiao Bai once again striking the water surface, the entire group of Demon Soul Great White Sharks that had been ready and waiting instantly shot forward as arrows loosed from a bow, swimming toward the deep sea.
The fierce sea wind blew against their faces, waves rolled, and quite a few splashes were sent flying. Standing on the backs of the Demon Soul Great White Sharks, the girls' long hair fluttered, giving them a rather high-spirited feeling.
While leading the team at the very front, Xiao Bai did not forget to say:
"Remember to be careful once the battle starts later. Although I can't wait for you all to get beaten up, the Evil Demon Orca King is indeed a terrifying opponent. My younger brother died at its hands back then. No matter what, I must avenge that grudge from back then. This is something I absolutely must do…"
Shen Liu Yu squatted down and patted Xiao Bai's back, then said:
"Relax, Old White. Although your stubborn-mouthed appearance is indeed very cute, we wouldn't dare be careless about something like this. As for that so-called Evil Demon Orca King, we'll definitely help you get rid of it this time…"
Xiao Bai was somewhat annoyed and said with a hint of embarrassment and anger:
"My name is Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai! It's not Old White! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll throw you down right now and let you experience the joy of swimming to the battlefield…"
Shen Liu Yu paid no heed to Xiao Bai's threat and still wore a grinning expression.
"No problem, I'll swim if I have to. Who told you crocodiles can't swim? Looking down on me, huh…"
"You…"
Xiao Bai gritted her teeth tightly, wanting to say something but ultimately unable to speak, apparently rendered somewhat speechless by Shen Liu Yu's bizarre response.
Shui Bing'er watched this scene from the side, a trace of helplessness and amusement flashing in her eyes. She then spoke up to remind them:
"Alright, stop arguing for now. The focus right now is on the battle that may occur later. What's the point of bickering about these trivial things? You might as well prepare properly. Ah Yu, especially you, you're going to be at the very front later. You can't drop the ball on the battlefield, got it?"
Shen Liu Yu wrapped her arm around Shui Bing'er's and shamelessly rubbed against her shoulder, smiling as she said:
"Sister-in-law, rest assured. I guarantee I'll complete the mission…"
Shui Bing'er smiled and reached out to poke Shen Liu Yu's forehead, but did not say anything more. Her gaze turned toward the distant sea surface sparkling under the sunlight, lost in thought…
…
The speed of the Demon Soul Great White Sharks was beyond doubt. When they went all out, in merely about an hour, the group arrived near the territory of the Evil Demon Orca clan.
Xiao Bai slowly came to a stop and said in a solemn voice:
"Although the number of Evil Demon Orcas is not as high as ours, Demon Soul Great White Sharks, each one of them is a master of slaughter. At the same level, our clan often needs two to three members to contend with just one of them. Their boss, Evil Tiger, is even more overwhelmingly powerful. In a one-on-one fight, even I am not its match…"
"Once the battle begins, I will go and hold back Evil Tiger, while your goal is to slaughter as many other Evil Demon Orcas as possible. Do not show them any mercy. There is no such thing as yielding in a racial war. Although I find you all very unpleasant, I still have to entrust this to you this time…"
Xiao Bai's tone when saying the last sentence was extremely sincere, completely without the previous sharpness. In the face of major right and wrong, she saw things very clearly.
Everyone nodded seriously. Regarding the great battle that was about to erupt, they felt both excited and expectant…
…
After resting for a short while, the two Demon Soul Great White Sharks that Xiao Bai had previously sent to observe the situation from the periphery also successfully returned to the group. Everything was fully prepared. Xiao Bai's eyes were grave as she was just about to issue the order to launch a surprise attack when Shui Bing'er suddenly interrupted her.
"Wait!"
The words Xiao Bai was about to say got stuck in her throat. She turned her head back with some confusion and looked at Shui Bing'er, who had spoken.
Shui Bing'er smiled apologetically, then her expression gradually became serious as she continued:
"I just thought about it. If we really charge in directly, the risks we face are simply too great. Even if we join forces, we may not necessarily be able to kill the Evil Demon Orca King. If that situation arises, the predicament everyone faces will become extremely dangerous. So, I suddenly had an idea, an underhanded move that, if successful, can create a huge advantage for us before the official battle even begins…"
Xiao Bai was clearly stunned, then asked blankly:
"What underhanded move? What are you guys planning again? I'm telling you, the Evil Demon Orca clan is not something to be trifled with. Don't do anything reckless, or I'm worried that when we get back, those two crazy women will torture me again…"
Shui Bing'er squatted down and patted Xiao Bai's head, then said with some amusement:
"We're not as silly as you, Xiao Bai. By the way, what is the distribution of other sea soul beasts in the sea area where the Evil Demon Orcas live? Tell us in detail…"
Xiao Bai was slightly stunned, then said:
"Generally, no other sea soul beasts dare to enter the sea area where the Evil Demon Orcas live. Otherwise, their fate would be to be torn apart alive. In this sea area, aside from the Evil Demon Orcas, there are probably only some small fish…"
Shui Bing'er nodded in understanding, then turned around and looked at Dugu Yan standing beside Ye Lingling, saying:
"Yanzi, come over for a moment. There's something I want to discuss with you…"
Dugu Yan raised an eyebrow, then pointed at herself. After receiving Shui Bing'er's affirmative reply again, she leaped over and landed on Xiao Bai's back.
"What's up? Is something the matter?"
Dugu Yan stood with one hand on her hip and asked curiously.
A smile appeared on Shui Bing'er's face as she said:
"The risk of directly charging and killing the Evil Demon Orca clan is simply too great, so we need to weaken the opponent's combat power as much as possible first. Even if we can't weaken them, we must at least create problems within their camp…"
Dugu Yan paused slightly, then quickly understood Shui Bing'er's intention.
"You want me to use the Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor poison here?"
Dugu Yan was somewhat shocked. She glanced at the vast sea around them and quickly shook her head, saying:
"That's not possible. The sea is far too vast. Even if I release the poison, it will be diluted very quickly. Moreover, if it's not controlled properly, given the terrifying toxicity of the Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor poison, countless sea soul beasts will die from the spillover. And in the ocean, such spillover is almost impossible to avoid…"
Shui Bing'er helplessly rubbed her forehead and said:
"I've already considered all that. In fact, we have another method that is safer and more covert than directly releasing poison, practically flawless…"
Dugu Yan looked at Shui Bing'er with some hesitation. After a long while, she said:
"Then tell me the specifics first. Direct poisoning is too harmful and against heaven's will. I don't have the same nerve as your boyfriend. If I really did something like that, I'd be afraid of having nightmares every day…"
Shui Bing'er fiercely pinched Dugu Yan's slender waist and said:
"Listen to me first. Something as harmful and against heaven's will as directly poisoning is something even a fool like you could realize, I obviously know that too…"
"My idea is to use the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud can completely hide a person's aura and figure, meaning complete invisibility. I can use the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to take you secretly into the Evil Demon Orca clan's territory. Once there, you'll have many more options for how and where to release the poison. If it still doesn't work, we can quietly retreat…"
Before Shui Bing'er could finish speaking, Xiao Bai impatiently interrupted her:
"No, no, absolutely not! The risk of you doing this is too great. Although the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud can achieve invisibility, there's still the chance of exposure. The Evil Demon Orcas' perception of subtle water currents ranks among the best in the ocean. What if something unexpected happens…"
Shui Bing'er was somewhat helpless but still patiently explained:
"The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is after all a divine artifact. As long as we are careful enough, there probably won't be any problems…"
"And even if something does happen, with the defensive capabilities of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, we can hold out for a while. With the speed of you Demon Soul Great White Sharks, I believe it will be enough to rush over…"
Xiao Bai still wanted to argue, but Dugu Yan directly cut off what she was about to say.
"Alright, stop arguing. Bing'er and I will go. I trust her judgment. Besides, if we really have to fight head-on, our chances of winning aren't actually that high. In this situation, since such a good opportunity is right in front of us, there's no reason for us not to try…"
Dugu Yan said softly, her tone firm and leaving no room for objection.
Xiao Bai suddenly fell silent. After remaining quiet for a long while, she finally said softly:
"If you two have really made your decision, I won't stop you. But you must pay attention to your safety. If there is any accident, notify me immediately. I will have the clan members join the battle directly…"
Shui Bing'er smiled and said:
"Relax, Xiao Bai. We won't gamble with our lives on something we have no confidence in. Just wait for our good news. The main assault afterward will still depend on all of you…"
As she spoke, Shui Bing'er turned her head to look at the others and sighed lightly:
"I know you all want to persuade Bing'er and Yanzi, but this is undoubtedly the best method. Rest assured, we'll be fine. As for you all, just don't drop the ball later…"
The others exchanged glances. They also knew they couldn't persuade Shui Bing'er and Dugu Yan, so they could only nod helplessly.
Before leaving, Shui Yue'er suddenly called out:
"Sis, you must be extra careful. I'll be waiting for your good news…"
Ye Lingling also spoke up:
"Yanzi, remember to protect yourself. Just do what you can…"
Both of them smiled and nodded. Then Shui Bing'er lightly touched the golden trident mark between her brows. Blue light burst forth. The two exchanged a glance, then leaped into the seawater together.
After quickly diving down, a crystal-like phantom of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud appeared around the two of them. A gentle fluctuation then spread out in all directions, and their figures immediately disappeared into the seabed, leaving not a trace of aura behind.
Dugu Yan looked around curiously and said:
"Not bad. This thing's invisibility effect is really good. Truly worthy of being a divine artifact…"
Shui Bing'er chuckled softly and said:
"Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's go. The Evil Demon Orca clan is in that sea area up ahead. Success or failure, it all rests in our hands…"
Dugu Yan nodded seriously. The two of them then swiftly headed toward the distance under the cover of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud…
