Old Zhao, Ill bring them to safety first. You should find a way out yourself! Mo Fan immediately pa.s.sed his difficult role off to Zhao Manyan.

Dont Zhao Manyan was about to tun it down when Jiang Shaoxu, Mu Bai, Xinxia, and Guan Songdi quickly swam toward Mo Fan, leaving Zhao Manyan, the silver-blue creature, and the Sharkmen that were approaching him rapidly behind!

Zhao Manyan was left speechless. He glanced at his Contract Beast, which had a blissful look on its face.

Its all your fault, I dont care about you anymore! Zhao Manyan snarled.

He turned into an arrow and propelled himself toward a hole below him. He could sense a vague current in the hole leading toward some pipes. They might bring him to another exit.

His teammates had abandoned him. He had to figure out a way to escape by himself!

Zhao Manyan could not help but turn around after he swam five hundred meters away. Either way, the creature was still his first Contracted Beast. It might be a little gluttonous, but he could not just abandon it and let the Sharkmen slaughter it!

Zhao Manyan touched his Ring. He was not actually going to abandon it. He was only using it to distract the Sharkmen. He would Summon his Contracted Beast back into the Ring at the maximum distance.

However, as soon as Zhao Manyan turned around, he felt a strong current flowing at him.

It felt like he was driving his Lamborghini along the road when a Ferrari suddenly pa.s.sed him with an arrogantly loud how! and left him eating its dust!

Holy c.r.a.p, its fleeing faster than me! Zhao Manyan exclaimed.

The silver-blue creature was like a torpedo. Zhao Manyan could see its mystical glow in the dark water.

Zhao Manyans pride was hurt. As a Super Water Mage, normal sea monsters would have no chance of matching his speed in the water.

On the first day he became a Mage, his father had immediately told him it was fine to lose a fight, but he must run faster than others if he did!

For some reason, his Contracted Beast had already figured out the truth itself, before he even had the chance to pa.s.s down the teachings of his ancestors!

The silver-blue creature swam in front of Zhao Manyan and stuck out its tail within his reach.

Zhao Manyan was extremely touched. It still knew enough to lend him a hand. He did not raise it for nothing!

A strange gas suddenly erupted under the silver-blue creatures tail and propelled it over a thousand meters away. On the other hand, Zhao Manyan was knocked two hundred meters in the opposite direction.

Zhao Manyan was unsure what the gas was made of, but it smelled like the rotten corpses of the Lance Spine Bears and the Sharkmen. He almost vomited!

You little piece of sh**, Im going to cook you in a stew! Zhao Manyans face flushed with anger.

You dare run ahead of me? Come back here! Zhao Manyan pinched the Contract Ring.

The Ring started glowing, The silver-blue creature was suddenly bound by a blue light. Its huge body shrank into a ray of light, which was quickly absorbed by Zhao Manyans Ring.

The Contract Ring was initially transparent, but it now had a little tadpole swimming around in it. It had plenty of s.p.a.ce in the Ring to swim around.

Come out now! Zhao Manyan was a vengeful man. He immediately Summoned the creature back from the Ring.

Zhao Manyan grabbed a puff of light that was wrapped around his Contracted Beast and tossed the creature at the Sharkmen chasing behind him like it was a Pokeball!

The silver-blue creature cried pitifully, as if it had realized its wrongdoings.

Its speed was crazy. Even though Zhao Manyan had tossed it a few hundred meters back, it only used half a second to catch back up to Zhao Manyan.

Hurry up and give me a ride if you have already realized your mistake! Zhao Manyan snarled.

The creature immediately swam over to Zhao Manyan. It did not reach its stinky tail for him this time, angling its back to him instead.

Zhao Manyan jumped onto the creatures back. There were two soft fins sticking out of its back close to his hands. It felt like he was controlling the creature when he placed his hands on the fins.

Listen to me. If I pull this fin to the right, you will go right. If I pull them forward, you will increase your speed. If I pull them back, you will reduce your speed. If I pull them upward Zhao Manyan went on.

The silver-blue creature might be fast, but it only knew to move forward. The Sharkmen were slowly surrounding it from different angles. If the pair wanted to break through the surrounding Sharkmen, they would have to trick them first, so they had no idea where the two wanted to go.

The silver-blue creature was very obedient this time. Even though it was only born a few days ago, it was quite intelligent, roughly understanding Zhao Manyans words.

Zhao Manyan was treating the creatures fins as joysticks and using them to avoid the Sharkmen. He pretended to swim right into the Sharkmens envelopment, but he suddenly broke free through an opening. His experience at street racing and video games allowed him to control the silver-blue creature

adeptly.

Do you have any attack moves? I need to study our surroundings and figure out the right path. Using magic is going to distract me, Zhao Manyan asked it.

Chirp!

Clear a path for us, Zhao Manyan told it.

The silver-blue creature waved its tail in response. It sped up and opened its huge mouth.

Zhao Manyan thought the creature was going to spit out flames, gusts of wind, icicles, or a destructive ray like most demon creatures, but it simply kept its mouth open. A strange shadow came out of its mouth and expanded rapidly.

The shadow instantly devoured the Sharkman Beasts in their path!

The creature had swallowed the Sharkman Beasts that were bigger than its mouth with a single bite! The thing was the silver-blue creatures body did not expand, even after it had swallowed several Sharkman Beasts at once.

It was like the Sharkman Beasts it had just swallowed were just several tiny shrimps

Zhao Manyan was dumbfounded.

Does this creature only know how to eat and swallow its enemy?

He had asked it to clear a path for them, but it had eaten the obstacles instead!
