Heroes Return

Then he could relay the situation to Lin Jie through these people, buying time for his companions to rescue him. However, he didn't expect that the person he connected with would be none other than Lin Jie, that goofball. Knowing Lin Jie as he did, it was highly unlikely that Lin Jie would understand the hidden meaning in his words.

'Alright, let's be blunt.' Seeing the increasingly hostile looks in the sea creature soldiers' eyes, Thirteen took a deep breath: 'Great…'

Just as the sea creature soldiers relaxed for a moment, he pulled Haina back and jumped, shouting, "Brother, we're in trouble! Come quick and save us!"

Upon hearing his words, the sea creature soldiers knew that he had no intention of cooperating obediently, so they all rushed towards Thirteen's direction.

"Damn, what happened?"

"We've been attacked!" Thirteen dodged the attacks of two soldiers who rushed forward. "We're now in the princess's chambers in the Sea King's Palace..."

Before Thirteen could finish speaking, a trident pierced through the communication crystal.

The trident moved with incredible speed, its momentum undiminished as it pierced Thirteen's body.

A mouthful of blood spurted from Thirteen's mouth!

"Thirteen!" Haina looked at Thirteen in a panic.

“Strange, I was clearly going to kill him with that strike…” Karu looked at Thirteen with some puzzlement: “You didn’t dodge just now, so why did the trident miss its vital point? I don’t think I could miss.”

"Cough cough... Guess..." Thirteen coughed as he struggled to pull the trident out of his body, blood flowing down the wound.

"Thirteen, don't move." Haina immediately rushed to Thirteen's side, and blue light immediately shone in her hand. When the blue light touched Thirteen's body, it gradually stopped the bleeding.

“There’s no point in treating him now,” Karu said. “But don’t worry, I won’t hurt you, Princess. After all, you’re going to be the mother of my future child. Mobilize the city guards and surround the World Government’s diplomatic embassy immediately!”

“Yes!” a sea creature soldier beside him replied.

"Shouldn't you consider my proposal now?"

"Hehe, my friend will be here to save me in a few dozen seconds!" Thirteen said to Karu, "He is a sea beast hunter who subdued the overlord of the Fantasy Sea."

"Really? His Achilles' heel is on him?" Karu said nonchalantly. "I want to see the strength of that legendary sea beast hunter. I am, after all, one of the best warriors of the sea race."

Then a few minutes passed like that.

"Your friend hasn't already run away, has he?" Karu looked at Thirteen with some contempt. "Forget it, let's deal with you guys first, and then go catch that guy. Anyway, as long as he's in the capital, he can't escape."

As he spoke, a trident appeared in his hand.

"..." At this moment, Thirteen couldn't help but curse Lin Jie in his heart: 'Damn it...where were you at this crucial moment?'

At this moment, Lin Jie was standing in front of the city gate.

Just as he leaped into the sky and found the royal city, Lin Jie immediately noticed that he was being watched by several powerful people.

"No wonder they're the sea race that almost wiped out humanity," Lin Jie remarked, then flew towards the giant serpent's throat. In Lin Jie's view, the location of the royal palace perfectly blocked the serpent's esophagus, preventing the people of the capital from entering its body.

After arriving at the palace, Lin Jie violently smashed down the palace gates and rushed into the palace.

Then Lin Jie got lost. After all, the palace was very large, and Lin Jie had no way of determining which building was the princess's bedroom. Along the way, many powerful sea creatures attacked Lin Jie.

Various powerful spells and martial arts techniques lit up throughout the palace, prompting Lin Jie to quicken his pace in his search. As he searched, Lin Jie lost count of how many palace walls he had breached and how many powerful sea creatures he had outmaneuvered.

"I should have asked for a map before I came!"

After smashing through numerous palace walls, Lin Jie saw a large group of sea creature soldiers surrounding a palace. Without hesitation, Lin Jie charged into the palace at incredible speed. Most of the soldiers surrounding the palace were blown away by the strong winds generated by Lin Jie's charge.

Upon entering the palace, Lin Jie finally saw Thirteen and Haina.

At that moment, a sea creature man hurled a gleaming trident toward Thirteen.

Lin Jie's body moved once again, arriving first despite being behind, and appeared next to the trident that was flying in mid-air, his powerful hand grabbing the trident directly.

Then he said something that made Thirteen spit blood.

"Hey Thirteen! You should have been more careful when you came to see your old flame. You got caught in the act and ended up with three holes in your body."

Chapter 21

"Instead of talking about this, you should be thinking about how to get out of here," Thirteen shouted at Lin Jie. "Do you even know our current predicament?!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than dozens of powerful sea creatures emerged from the door, each exuding considerable strength.

"...You actually attracted so many people!"

"It's alright, these people are all Sea King City councilors of the same rank as Karup," Haina said to Thirteen and Lin Jie. "We should be safe now that they're here."

"It's him! He suddenly broke into the palace and caused a great deal of damage! Now he even dares to go to the princess's bedroom! His crimes are unforgivable!" Before Haina could speak, a large number of sea creature experts rushed towards Lin Jie.

"Forget it, let's talk about it after we leave!" Lin Jie said, grabbing Thirteen and Haina by the waist with one arm each. "Let's go," he said, and ran towards the walls around the hall.

"Is your reverse scale there?" Karu's voice suddenly appeared beside Lin Jie, and the trident in his hand was thrust straight down towards Lin Jie's chest.

However, when the trident pierced Lin Jie's body, it strangely passed right through him. At the same time, Lin Jie's figure disappeared from Karu's sight, and the next instant, the sound of a wall collapsing rang out behind him.

"Oh no! That person has run away with the princess!" Many powerful sea creatures also chased after him, pressing against the wall that Lin Jie had demolished.

"What are you all good for?!" Kalu shouted angrily at a powerful sea creature as he watched Lin Jie disappear. "Since when has the Sea Emperor's Palace allowed outsiders to come and go as they please?"

"My lord, that man is incredibly fast, and he used some unknown method to easily break through walls reinforced with secret techniques." A powerful sea creature approached Karu and said, "Didn't you try it yourself just now? That man was very difficult to catch."

"Damn it, notify the entire city's guards to capture those two humans with all their might." Karu said to the powerful man, "Tell the councilor that the princess has been kidnapped by two humans."

"understood."

"Ahhh!! Wait a minute... Don't run anymore..." the princess said with difficulty, her body held between Lin Jie's arms. "Let me talk to them, they'll understand."

However, Thirteen, who was on the other side of Lin Jie, interrupted the princess at this moment.

"No, no, no... it's no use..." Thirteen said with difficulty, "Even if you tell, that Kakakakaru will say that you were forced by us. And those guards may have already become Karu people."

"Why do you say that?" the princess asked with difficulty.

"Because almost all of the powerful sea creatures who came after us were pro-war."

"How did you know?"

“I often collect information about sea creatures because I’m worried about you,” Thirteen said.

Hearing Thirteen's words, Haina felt a sudden surge of sweetness: "You mean you care about me, so you've been keeping an eye on the Sea Clan's intelligence? Then why didn't you know that I agreed to the marriage proposal?"

"You'll probably agree to this request in the next few days, right?" Thirteen replied. "By then, my people will already be on the Fantasy Sea, and they'll have no way to obtain information. I've really been keeping an eye on your situation, otherwise I wouldn't have come here with Reverse Scale on my back."

"So that's how it is. You've been paying attention to me all this time?"

"Excuse me for interrupting you two for a moment," Lin Jie said. "There's a single guy sandwiched between you two, eating your dog food! You two look pretty energetic. Just a heads-up, I'm going to speed up!"

After Lin Jie finished speaking, he ignored Thirteen and Haina's reactions and suddenly increased his speed.

With his feet firmly planted, Lin Jie leaped directly out of the Sea Emperor's Palace.

When the many powerful sea creatures arrived, they saw what appeared to be ripples spreading across the ground. In the center of each ripple was a footprint embedded in the earth.

With incredible speed and amidst the screams of Thirteen and the other two, Lin Jie leaped across half the city. Upon landing, he smashed into the streets of Neptune City, creating a crater.

However, the giant serpent crystal body beneath the artificially paved street was completely unharmed.

"It's still as hard as before," Lin Jie remarked, glancing at the crystal ground.

At the same time, sirens sounded throughout the city.

"We can't go back to the embassy!" Thirteen said to Lin Jie's waist. "We need to find a way out of the city or hide first. Put me down first."

"Leave the city? That's easy." With that, Lin Jie didn't release Thirteen again, but jumped up once more. Amidst the exclamations of Thirteen and Haina, he leaped towards the city wall once more.

"You...you...you're not planning to just rush out, are you?" Thirteen exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"That's a big question..."

"Then let's talk slowly after I get out." With that, Lin Jie flew towards the city wall like a cannonball.

The guards on the city wall also noticed Lin Jie.

"Why aren't you firing?" the guard roared angrily at the sea creatures on the city wall. "Fire the cannons right now and shoot that bastard down!"

“But he kidnapped the princess!” the soldier said to the guard.

"Damn it, assemble the army and surround him where he landed! We absolutely cannot let this guy take the princess out of the city!" the guard shouted to the soldier. At the same time, the troops near the sea tribe city wall began to rush quickly towards the direction where Lin Jie might land next.

“Actually, there’s no need…” Princess Haina wanted to say that it was safe here, since the guards were the direct troops of the council elders and would never obey Karu’s orders. Even if those powerful people became Karu’s people, the city guards would not become Karu’s subordinates.

Unfortunately, before she could finish speaking, Lin Jie placed Thirteen on his back and said to Thirteen, "Hold on tight!"

With one hand free, Lin Jie now held an iron rod that rapidly lengthened and stabbed at the spot where he was about to land. To the astonishment of the many sea creature soldiers, Lin Jie vaulted over the wide city wall with the grace of a pole vault.

As Lin Jie crossed the city wall, the iron rod began to shrink and returned to Lin Jie's hand.

"The Ruyi Jingu Bang!" Haina stared in shock at the iron rod in Lin Jie's hand that had transformed into the size of an embroidery needle.

"You have good taste, girl!"

"So you are Sun Wukong."

"You're the monkey! Your whole family are monkeys."

Amidst Lin Jie's discontented roar, the three of them landed in the sea. Immediately afterward, Lin Jie once again entered a high-speed running mode in the sea, and in a short time, the sea tribe's pursuing forces were left far behind by Lin Jie.

"Found it, my mount." Lin Jie sensed it as he ran. Then he quickly ran in another direction.

……

In the fantastical ocean, a giant blue whale was bobbing up and down. It was in a good mood today because it had recently escaped a terrifying human. To celebrate its successful escape, it decided to eat some of its favorite sea creatures.

But just then, a black dot appeared not far away, rushing towards him at high speed. This piqued his interest, but when he saw the black dot clearly, his first reaction was to turn and run away.

Less than a few hours after they separated, that terrifying human came back to find it again.

"We've finally found you, my little whale!" Lin Jie Thirteen and Princess Haina rushed towards the giant whale that looked like a small island on the distant sea.

……

The poor blue whale once again became Lin Jie's laborer, just floating quietly in the sky.

Lin Jie and his two companions were sitting on the blue whale. The sea princess Haina, who had looked very beautiful, had lost her original dignity after Lin Jie's series of running around. Her hair was a little messy, and she was lying on the side of the white whale's body, vomiting into the sea.

Thirteen was the same, but instead of vomiting leftovers, he vomited blood.

"Damn, Thirteen, are you alright?" Lin Jie looked at Thirteen with some surprise.

"It's all your fault!" Thirteen pointed at Lin Jie with his finger, then lay straight down on the back of the giant whale.

"Thirteen!" Haina, who had just vomited and whose face was still pale, immediately ran to Thirteen's side. Her hands, glowing with a pale blue light, gently touched Thirteen's wounds. To Lin Jie's astonishment, Thirteen's wounds began to heal little by little. Although it was very slow, it was clearly visible to the naked eye.
