In nature, there are often predators that are good at using mimicry. The most famous example is the anglerfish in the ocean, which usually grows a small fish-like lure on its head to confuse its prey.

The same applies to the Rainbow Shark. By using its special outer skin to mimic the appearance of clouds, it becomes virtually "invisible" in the sea of ​​clouds, perfectly blending into its environment.

However, compared to Wang Yan's fight, the Rainbow Shark seemed to be slightly inferior. The battle was not as intense as expected, only about 30/70. Wang Yan almost cracked the Rainbow Shark's skull with three punches. It was that simple.

Looking at the shark-like creature in front of him, Wang Yan didn't expect his strength to be so outrageous. The Rainbow Shark was curled up on the deck, feeling dizzy from Wang Yan's punches, which saved Wang Yan a lot of trouble.

His eyes lit up, and the soul contract was activated instantly. His expression, which had been baring his teeth and showing a slight reluctance to admit defeat, immediately changed to a dazed look. However, to outsiders, it looked as if Wang Yan had directly defeated the Rainbow Cloud Shark. In short, it looked very impressive.

After a moment of confusion, Wang Yan sensed everything about the Rainbow Cloud Shark, as if he could easily control its life and death.

A sense of absolute dominance.

The Rainbow Shark seemed to have recovered and stretched out its fins, which startled everyone in the harbor. Wang Yan gently raised his hand to signal them not to panic. Sure enough, to everyone's astonishment, the Rainbow Shark actually crawled in front of Wang Yan in a very human-like manner, as if it had submitted willingly!

This is so bizarre. I've never seen anything like it before. Could there really be such a ferocious predator that would willingly submit to a human?

However, all of this was just an act by Wang Yan to show them. He dusted off his hands and said to the captain:

"This rainbow shark is mine now, right?"

The scene was so surreal that everyone was momentarily stunned until Wang Yan spoke again, bringing them back to reality.

"Of course, of course! You can certainly take this shark away. We're trying to avoid it like the plague. Since you've helped us, a generous reward is a must. Please do me the honor of treating me to a good meal at noon today!"

Wang Yan wasn't very interested in these drinking parties. He was a married man, and being away from home all the time would inevitably make his wife worry. He simply shrugged and declined.

"I'm sorry, my wife and I need to hurry on our way, so we won't need it for now. We can talk about it next time I come to Anju City."

For someone who could subdue a near-beast-like Rainbow Shark with his bare hands, no one would hesitate to befriend him. When the captain first heard Wang Yan refuse him, he was somewhat disappointed, but upon hearing the glimmer of hope in the second half of the sentence, he immediately put on a smiling face.

"Of course, you're welcome anytime, young man. Thank you so much for solving my problem today. Next time you come, remember to look for me; I owe you a drink!"

Wang Yan didn't say anything more, just waved his hand, returned to the crowd and found Yingluo. The Rainbow Shark followed Wang Yan very obediently, and everyone turned aside to avoid it, not daring to get any closer.

"Let's go home!"

"Yes, let's go home!"

Wang Yan grabbed her hand, straddled her, and pulled her onto the Rainbow Cloud Shark, causing another round of gasps. The Rainbow Cloud Shark was a ferocious beast in the sea of ​​clouds, and it was already very difficult to make it submit. He actually... actually rode away?

Wang Yan didn't care what kind of shocking impression he left on others. Anyway, his hometown wasn't here, and who knew when he would come back next time? Maybe in a few days they would forget about him, or just treat him as a topic of casual conversation.

Yingluo clung tightly to the dorsal fin, while Wang Yan sat behind her, riding the Rainbow Cloud Shark into the sea of ​​clouds. This thing was much more exciting than the cloud whale!

First of all, this thing has absolutely no protection, and you could fall off if you're not careful. Secondly, since this Rainbow Shark is only for riding and there's no issue of stable cargo, the angle of descent is almost always very steep, making it look like freefall. If you don't have a strong mentality, you really can't ride this thing.

The Rainbow Shark was incredibly fast, almost as fast as a cloud whale. It took Wang Yan a whole day to travel that distance, and he didn't return to the bottom floor until almost nightfall.

As for the new mount's placement, Wang Yan had already thought it through. He would simply let it roam freely. After all, he had a soul contract with it, so he could summon the Rainbow Cloud Shark with just a thought, which would be very convenient.

Upon entering the cave, Wang Yanzheng noticed that the atmosphere at home seemed a bit off. Normally, it would be close to mealtime by now, and someone should have already come out to cook. But why did everyone seem to be gathered inside?

Bai Guo, holding Xiao Gaodan's hand and carrying Xiao Daomi on her back, anxiously peered into the house from outside the door. Wang Yan sensed something was wrong and quickly went up to ask her what had happened.

Upon seeing that it was Wang Yan who had returned, Bai Guo felt as if she had found a pillar of support and hurriedly said:

"Master, you're finally back! Not long after you and Miss set off, Miss Zhizhi discovered a new tribe not far from us while she was out. When Madam Zhuohua tried to negotiate with Miss Youli, she was actually injured by them!"

"You're injured!?"

Wang Yan almost cried out, then stopped listening to her and hurried inside.

As soon as Wang Yan entered the room, he saw Zhizhi and Huayue standing around the bed with worried expressions on their faces, while Zhuohua and Youli were lying on the bed.

Zhuohua was in better condition because she was a salamander, and even the most severe injuries would gradually heal. She just looked a little pale.

You Li's situation was not so good. There was a long, thin wound on the scales of her left leg, and the scales were curled up. There were also several bruises on her body, as if she had been hit by something heavy.

Seeing this scene, Wang Yan was filled with rage, but he still had to tell himself to calm down first, to treat You Li's wounds first.

Zhuohua slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Wang Yan return, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up slightly. She wanted to get up to greet him, but Wang Yan quickly pressed her down, telling her to rest well.

"Wang Yan, you're back?"

Wang Yan touched her face, a pang of pain in his heart: "You should rest well. I'm back. I'll handle this."

Zhuohua seemed to understand what Wang Yan was thinking. He was both angry and heartbroken to see the two of them injured.

Zhuohua's lips curled slightly, and she said mysteriously, "You don't really think we two got ripped off on this trip, do you?"

Wang Yan initially reacted to her words, but the more she thought about it, the more something seemed off. Wait...were they the two strongest fighters in the family?
