The wicked female is extremely fierce, but she's pampered by her seven beast husbands.

Chapter 229 Half a Day at Haiquan
"Put your space container back in."

Although Ling Chengen lacked such a useful item, he knew that spatial containers were extremely precious.

Most spatial containers are similar to the one in her hand; they require a bond with a master before they can be used.

Simply removing the original owner's mark requires a considerable amount of effort.

She had tried it once, so she knew exactly how thrilling and unique the process was.

Furthermore, Shi Ruoan clearly needs this thing more than she does.

If the other party wants to go south with them, there is no need to change the ownership of this space container; it can still be used.

Unfortunately, judging from Shi Ruoan's attitude, she probably won't leave with them.

Seeing that Ling Chengen wouldn't accept the ring, Shi Ruoan didn't force him to. She put the ring back on her ring finger, which made Ling Chengen's expression quite complicated.

In other words, there is no such thing as a wedding ring in the Beast World, otherwise this situation would have been awkward for both of them.

"I'm a little curious, does Shi Panxing have a lot of things in his collection?"

Seeing her eyes sparkle like stars, Shi Ruoan chuckled softly, "Of course there are many."

"After all, he is of royal blood and one of the most powerful heirs to the throne before Hypera ascended the throne. Moreover, he is a high-ranking warrior with very unique superpowers. The richness and value of his collection are beyond the reach of most people."

Moreover, Shi Panxing inherited all of his mother's collection. To appease the Shi family, King Xeiya also gifted Shi Panxing many treasures while he was still alive.

That's why Hypola and Megie are searching for Shi Panxing's treasure cave.

However, the location of the Sea Extreme Cave is extremely hidden and dangerous. Ordinary sea creatures would never think that the entrance is in such a place. In addition, entering the Sea Extreme Cave requires the use of a space stone specially made by Shi Panxing, otherwise it will trigger the spatial strangulation mechanism he has set up, making it impossible for anyone who tries to steal the treasure to return.

Ling Chengen was a little tempted: "He really said he would give it to me?"

Shi Ruoan nodded: "He made a lot of spatial containers in his spare time. Putting everything else aside for now, this is something you should really need."

Ling Chengen's eyes sparkled, his expression becoming somewhat ardent, and he said politely, "How could I possibly accept this? Spatial containers are so rare and precious..."

Shi Ruoan wasn't stupid; she could tell from Ling Chengen's expression that she was very tempted.

Unfortunately, she was not a sea creature and could not dive into the deep sea.

Otherwise, with help, he would be quite confident in entering the Sea Extreme Cave to retrieve the treasure.

Shi Ruoan: "It's not possible to take it right now, at least not by myself."

Ling Chengen immediately became interested: "Don't give up yet. Tell me about the situation in that area and the situation of the sea tribe. Maybe I can give you a good idea?"

Shi Ruoan looked up and stared at Ling Chengen for a while, hesitated for a few seconds, and then decided to tell her what she had found out.

Shi Ruoan quickly drew a simple map on the ground with a tree branch, first indicating the location of the Sea Extreme Cave, and then circling the royal territory and the location of the deep-sea ice prison.

These three places are relatively important.

Ling Chengen checked the location. The Haiji Cave was the most remote, but according to Shi Ruoan, there were at least five hundred to a thousand sea creatures scattered around the Haiji Cave, covering a large area. He searched for the exact location of the Haiji Cave.

The location of Haiji Cave is quite ingenious, situated beneath the eye of the North Sea.

The so-called Beihai Sea Eye is a spring-like place located at the lowest point of Beihai.

For half the day, seawater flows into the sea eye.

The other half of the time, seawater will flow out from the sea eye.

Therefore, the sea eye is also known as the half-day sea spring.

Ling Chengen was very puzzled: "Such a special place, those sea people shouldn't be so stupid as to just let it slip by, right?"

Shi Ruoan held the cup and slowly sipped the water that was gradually becoming warm, explaining, "The sea eye is extremely dangerous. Whether it's seawater flowing back into the sea eye or water gushing out from it, the power and speed are astonishing. Even ordinary high-level warriors simply cannot withstand that kind of pressure."

"Moreover, one can only enter the Ocean Cave when seawater floods in."

"You can only leave when the seawater gushes out."

"Because of the backflow of seawater, a large underwater vortex will form around the sea eye. Especially the longer the backflow lasts, the greater the destructive force of the ocean currents near the sea eye will be, and a certain isolation zone will be formed around it."

"Anything that gets close to the barrier will basically be swept into the ocean currents."

"If you can't adjust your posture in time while in the ocean current, you might even crash into the rocks on the seabed and die."

Ling Chengen asked in shock, "Then how do you plan to get in?"

Shi Ruoan pondered for a moment and said, "The ocean currents in the sea eye actually follow a pattern. This was discovered by Pan Xing."

"As you know, his special ability is quite unique; he is extremely sensitive to changes in things within space."

"When he was a child, he accidentally fell into a sea cave while searching for treasure at the bottom of the sea. After thinking about it for a while, he discovered a pattern."

"During the first beast hour after the seawater begins to flow back, the pressure of the ocean current is not as great as imagined. The merfolk can withstand the pressure and directly enter the isolation zone."

"After entering the isolation zone, find the anchor point he set. You don't need to resist the force of the ocean current; just follow the direction of the current to enter the polar cave."

"The same method was used when we came out."

"If the location of the anchor point is not known, it will be certain death once the massive seawater backflow begins."

Ling Chengen was completely bewildered, as if listening to gibberish. Although he didn't understand much about sea eyes or anything like that, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Awesome!"

Shi Ruoan's eyelashes fluttered slightly as she asked, puzzled, "We are merfolk, not cows!"

"This ox is not that ox; it's a compliment to you."

Ling Chengen didn't stray from the topic. Instead, he pointed to the location of the sea eye and the underwater ice prison and asked, "Are you sure you can't find any help? If you can find one or two more, you could use a feint attack."

Shi Ruoan didn't quite understand what she meant, but still humbly said, "I would like to hear the details."

"You've already shown up near the sea eye, and your trail has been captured by King Haibola's men, right?" Shi Ruoan nodded.

Ling Chengen rested his chin on his hand, and tapped the location of the underwater ice prison with the branch he was holding.

"Given your understanding of King Hyperion and Maggie, if you were them, what would you do now?"

Because she didn't know much about the personalities and situations of the two people underwater, she couldn't predict their most likely arrangements based on their personalities and habits.

Therefore, we can only rely on Shi Ruoan, who knows those two people better, to make this deduction.

Shi Ruoan pondered for a long time, her eyelids slightly lowered, before suddenly raising her eyes and saying, "Conduct a wide-ranging search around the sea eye and find the location of the Panxing Treasure as soon as possible."

"But we must also be wary, as I may be deliberately showing myself near the sea eye in order to enter the underwater ice prison and rescue people."

Ling Chengen lowered his eyes and said, "So, do you think Hypola and Meg will leave the royal palace?"

"will not."

Shi Ruoan shook her head and said, "At least Mei Ji definitely won't leave."

However, Hypola is a young female merman who prides herself on her formidable fighting abilities, so she probably won't spend all her time in the palace.

"Where is the Sea Sacrifice Temple?"

Ling Chengen nodded again, pointing to the Sea Sacrifice Hall, which was almost directly opposite the royal palace.

"The Sea Sacrifice Temple is currently controlled by the Baman Serpent Clan, and it's not easy to get close to it."

"Is the distance between the palace and the sea sacrifice hall very far?"

"Yes, it's very far."

"It is also far from the polar cave and the underwater ice prison."

Conversely, the Sea Sacrifice Temple and the underwater ice prison are very close.

Ling Chengen: "The only remaining level 17 warriors in the Merfolk race have now been deployed to the vicinity of the Sea Eye?"

"Yes, I was found and injured by him near the sea eye, but his condition should be similar to mine."

The old man didn't fare well either. He led hundreds of men to attack him, but not only did they fail to kill him, they even got injured themselves.

Ling Chengen frowned slightly: "Then he is very likely no longer near the eye of the sea."

Shi Ruoan vaguely understood Ling Chengen's meaning and suddenly said, "I will go to the Sea Eye again."

But this time it's not about getting the treasure, it's just about showing off.

Two trips to the Eye of the Sea would surely arouse suspicion in Meg and Hypola, leading them to believe that something of great importance to him and Panxing is hidden near the Eye of the Sea.

The treasures in the Ocean Cave are indeed important, but obtaining them is not so easy.

Therefore, Shi Ruoan was not worried.

By using the Ocean Cave, the focus of the royal family and the Baman Snake Clan can be shifted.

And he...

"I can go to the ice prison to rescue people."

Ling Chengen laughed and said, "Wrong, you can kidnap Mei Ji."

Shi Ruoan frowned and said, "Isn't doing this... a bit inappropriate?"

"You think this tactic is despicable and insidious?"

Shi Ruo'an didn't say anything, but she probably thought so too.

Even as a political enemy, he felt it was wrong to secretly target females.

Ling Chengen raised an eyebrow and said, "Don't you understand the principle of 'the victor is king, the loser is villain'?"

"This world isn't about who's weaker being right. Protecting females also depends on the situation, okay?"

"They're about to kill you, and you're still talking about gentlemanly manners...Are you stupid?"

After being scolded by Ling Chengen, Shi Ruoan was a little embarrassed and explained, "I was just a little hesitant, I didn't reject your idea."

Ling Chengen's anger subsided somewhat: "The area around the palace is definitely heavily guarded. Do you have any spies planted there?"

Shi Ruoan said, "No, but the guards near the palace... are not very strict."

Ultimately, although a royal family was born in the far north and ruled this sea area for a long time, it was not much different from large tribes on land.

It's even less reasonable than the three-shift patrol and guard system of the Shilin tribe.

The palace was not as luxurious as the underwater dragon palace. The merfolk's cave was mainly a natural underwater cave, with some planning around it at most.

The sea creatures hold the merfolk in high esteem, but everyone has to work hard to fill their stomachs, so they don't really take turns guarding the royal family. At most, they only have a few attendants and followers.

Dealing with a few attendants was a piece of cake for him.

However, the royal palace is located in a rather central area, surrounded by many sea creatures. If it were to be disturbed, it would be very difficult to leave with Megi unharmed.

Capturing Mei Ji wasn't actually that difficult for Shi Ruoan.

He thought about it carefully and realized that Meiji was good at using her cunning, but not at fighting.

But what happens after we capture Meggi?
Are they forcing Hypola to hand over the other divine servants of the Sea Temple?

But when the two sides exchange, the other side will definitely not give up easily. They will lay a trap and leave him with nothing.
