Chapter 257: Spelling Game

At this moment, the Mermaid Queen had also made a judgment on Xia Mo’s strength.

She beckoned to Xia Mo and said, “Shirahoshi, come here. Your talent is very special, but your strength is still too weak. Stay by my side and pay attention to your own safety.”

Meanwhile, hidden within Shirahoshi’s hair accessories, Ye Xuan suddenly had an idea. Perhaps, he could also try to make a move?

Ye Xuan’s Sword Formation was definitely not suitable for use with so many mutated beasts present, but electromagnetic manipulation was different.

Electromagnetic manipulation could create gravitational and repulsive forces. Even if Ye Xuan made a move, to other mutated beasts, it might appear as Shirahoshi’s own ability.

Xia Mo, cosplaying as Shirahoshi, had weak frontal combat power. The mermaid clan in the East Sea did not have dominant strength, inevitably encountering dangers. At that time, Ye Xuan could secretly make a move to ensure Xia Mo’s safety.

At this moment, the Giant Turtle General said to the Black Dragon King, “Your Majesty, isn’t the Kunpeng King and the Magic Whale King getting too close? Could they be colluding?”

The Black Dragon King sneered, “So what if they collude? The Magic Whale King is just big in size, nothing special, only bullying the island nation people. As for the Kunpeng King, every time I chase after it, it runs away in fear. I will deal with them sooner or later!”

The communication between the Black Dragon King and the Giant Turtle was straightforward, showing no regard for these two sea kings.

The massive pupils of the Magic Whale King glanced at the Black Dragon King without responding.

As for the Kunpeng King, it glared fiercely at the Black Dragon King and said, “Black Loach, you wait for me. I will eat you sooner or later!”

Ye Xuan watched the communication between the three sea kings and was quite surprised. The Magic Whale King, capable of destroying the island nation, had much deeper scheming compared to the Black Dragon King and the Kunpeng King.

No wonder, in Ye Xuan’s previous life when he died, the Black Dragon King had long been killed, the Kunpeng King and the Black Dragon King had perished together, only the Magic Whale King, although missing a tooth, was still alive and well…

The Black Dragon King was provoked by the Kunpeng King’s insult, ready to act, but at that moment, a blue light above the mysterious gate intensified.

Subsequently, the blue light radiated outwards, seemingly dyeing the surroundings into a blue world.

After a few seconds, the blue light completely disappeared, and the seawater that had been suspended above the sea lost the support of the mysterious power, crashing back into the ocean.

At the same time, the true appearance of the mysterious stone gate was revealed to the various mutated beasts.

Ye Xuan and the others also looked through Xia Mo’s hair towards the stone gate.

It looked like a stone gate, but in reality, it resembled a huge plaque.

On this plaque, there were numerous small blocks, dozens of them in total, appearing disorderly.

On these blocks were various shapes like strokes and dots, with a blank space at the bottom corner. These blocks could be moved through this blank space.

After looking for a while, Ye Xuan suddenly realized that this was similar to a spelling game, right?

By piecing together these strokes and dots to form the correct characters, it would be equivalent to clearing the class.

Similar to an advanced version of the Huarong Road game played in childhood, where the goal was to form the corresponding patterns, here, it was necessary to form the correct characters, raising the difficulty by more than one class.

The Black Dragon King stared at the plaque for a while and said, “Isn’t this human writing? Damn it, this is the East Sea, our territory as mutated beasts. How could human writing appear here?”

The Mermaid Queen said, “If I guessed correctly, we need to rearrange all these scrambled human characters correctly. With our abilities, we definitely can’t do it. What should we do now?”

The Black Dragon King’s voice sounded displeased, “Unfortunately, Warlord Kongming is not here. With him, rearranging these characters would be a piece of cake!”

Xia Mo also saw these characters. Just based on these strokes and dots, she couldn’t discern the issue on the plaque. However, if she tried, she should be able to solve it.

But she dared not try easily. Her origin was already strange, a giant mermaid inexplicably becoming a member of the mermaid clan. If she were to reveal that she also knew human writing to the other mutated beasts, wouldn’t it be like confessing her connection to humans?

At this moment, the Kunpeng King said, “You need humans, right? I’ll go catch one. What’s so difficult about that?”

As the Kunpeng King spoke, it flew towards the surface of the sea.

After a while, the Kunpeng King emerged from the water, its fins turning into wings, soaring towards the direction of the Magic City.

Shortly after, the Kunpeng King arrived in the airspace of the Magic City, and at the same time, the radar detected the intrusion of the Kunpeng King.

The Magic City sounded the alarm, and Lin Xu and the other awakened ones immediately raised their guard, ready to fight at any moment.

This was the troublesome aspect of mutated beasts known for their speed. The Kunpeng King moved swiftly, flying high and low, with extremely fast speed.

If it wanted to invade the Magic City recklessly, it would naturally face resistance from the awakened ones. However, if it only came to capture one or a few humans and then quickly retreated, Lin Xu and the others would have no way to stop it.

Unable to catch up, even if they caught up, it would be difficult to kill it. They might even fall into an ambush, making it very difficult to deal with.

Before Lin Xu and the others could determine the Kunpeng King’s location, it had already used its claws to grab a human and left the Magic City.

After a while, Lin Xu received a message, “Dean Lin, according to the surveillance, the invader should be the Kunpeng King from the East Sea, who captured a man and a woman before leaving.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xu’s face turned ugly, feeling helpless and furious, “This feathered beast, I will kill it sooner or later!”

Lin Xu could imagine that the chances of the two people captured by the Kunpeng King surviving were slim. Moreover, he was powerless, which made him feel extremely helpless and angry.

The man and woman brought by the Kunpeng King to the East Sea had jellyfish covering their heads, acting as oxygen tubes. At this moment, both of them were extremely frightened and panicked.

Originally a couple, they had just gone out for a walk today. They were inexplicably captured by the Kunpeng King and brought here.

In the seawater, they were so scared that they couldn’t stand steadily, lying on the ground in a daze.

At this moment, the Mermaid Queen said, “Don’t be afraid. Tell us how we can solve the problem on that plaque.”

Speaking human language at this moment, the Mermaid Queen was half-human and half-fish, naturally able to speak human language and communicate with mutated beasts.

Among the two captured humans, the male was relatively calm, “Is what you said true? Will you really let us go?”

The Mermaid Queen directly replied, “Of course, I keep my word.”

Upon hearing this, the man looked at the strokes and dots on the plaque and said, “If you keep your word, release my girlfriend first. Let her leave while I try to solve this spelling game, then you can let me go.”

The Mermaid Queen was quite surprised. She thought this man would prioritize his own safety more, but he unexpectedly asked for his companion to leave first.

She then said, “Kunpeng King, leave these two humans to me for disposal.”

However, the Kunpeng King replied, “No, recently, I’ve been following the Magic Whale King to eat a few humans. The taste was a bit peculiar. It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten a human from China. ”

The Mermaid Queen was somewhat dissatisfied, “Is that so? In that case, we might not be able to enter this secret realm. Since you will eat them no matter what, how can they help us solve this class?”
