Serpent Ancestor

Xu Hei activated the gourd, drawing in the air from a distance. The purple mark on Bonan's abdomen gradually seeped out, releasing wisps of mist that were absorbed into the gourd.

As time passed, more and more mist was drawn out, forming a visible bridge of purple energy between the gourd and Bonan.

The poisonous mist was continuously extracted, and the poison spots on Bonan's skin began to fade.

"It really works!"

Bo Xi, watching from behind, was shocked, his heart filled with excitement and joy.

After about the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, Xu Hei took out a small piece of petal and had Bonan consume it, continuing the extraction process. This step was repeated three times before he finally stopped.

At this moment, the poison spots on Bonan's body had reduced by half, and their color had significantly lightened.

Bonan gasped for breath, drenched in sweat from the effort of expelling the poison, which was a great strain on him.

"This poison is too stubborn to be removed in a short time. Rest for now, and I'll return in three days."

Bonan took a long time to catch his breath before nodding.

"Alright! As you say."

Bonan got up and looked towards the clan leader in the distance, "Brother, prepare some food for me."

Bo Xi was momentarily stunned and said, "You can eat now?"

"That's right, this young friend's detoxification is effective. I feel hungry," Bonan replied.

Bo Xi was moved to tears. Since Bonan had sealed himself, he hadn't touched a drop of water or a morsel of food, and his vitality was nearly exhausted.

He wiped away his tears and nodded heavily, "I'll prepare it right away."

Xu Hei also left the room.

"Young friend," Bonan called out, hesitating for a moment before lowering his head, "Thank you."

Xu Hei said nothing, just smiled calmly.

Being thanked was extremely rare in his life. He had spent most of his life plundering and killing, rarely helping others voluntarily.

Even this time, he acted because the Dolphin Clan had helped him.

"I have some pills here, but their effects are too strong. Your body is too weak now to handle them. I'll give them to you once you've recovered enough."

Xu Hei said this to increase his importance.

Bonan nodded repeatedly, "Alright! During this time, if you have any needs, just let me know, and I'll arrange it."

"Yes, our Dolphin Clan has plenty of resources. Whatever you need, just say the word, no need to be polite!" Bo Xi chimed in.

"We'll talk after the treatment is complete," Xu Hei smiled, flew out of the room, and left the Dolphin Palace.

Only then did he realize that a large group of dolphins had gathered outside the palace, waiting for the results.

"Chief, how is it?"

"Is Bonan alright?"

The dolphins hurriedly gathered to ask.

Bo Xi smiled, "No need to worry, Bonan's condition has improved, thanks to this young friend who drove out the poison!"

Upon hearing this, all the dolphins were moved to tears, looking at Xu Hei with gratitude.

"Thank you, young friend!"

"You're our savior!"

"You saved our Bo clan."

Voices of gratitude filled the air.

Xu Hei felt a bit uncomfortable and quickly swam away from the place.

His small island wasn't far from here, only an hour's full-speed journey. He planned to return and meditate for two days, open the first dragon vein, and then come back to continue the detoxification.

Although he was reluctant to part with the Purifying Lotus, a rare spirit medicine, he had made up his mind to help to the end.

"People have connections, dragons have dragon veins, the Dolphin Clan is my first dragon vein," Xu Hei thought to himself.

Hearing that Xu Hei was leaving, Bopu initially wanted to see him off but thought better of it, considering Xu Hei might not like being followed, and decided against it.

He just reminded Xu Hei to be careful on the road.

...

Xu Hei rested for a night, enjoyed a sumptuous meal, and quietly left the Dolphin Clan early the next morning.

He split into an external incarnation, taking two routes and leaving various misleading signs, circling the Dolphin Clan several times before heading to his island.

He wasn't worried about the Dolphin Clan; it was just a habit.

Xu Hei moved at full speed, swimming for more than half an hour, getting closer to his island.

Suddenly, Xu Hei felt a chill, as if he was being targeted. This feeling was familiar; he had experienced it after coming out of the trench.

"Being watched again! Who is it?"

Xu Hei's mind flashed, quickly thinking of Hai Teng, Hai Meng, and that sea eel.

It couldn't be the Dolphin Clan; if they wanted to act, they wouldn't have waited until now. Besides, after these two days of interaction, Xu Hei didn't believe anyone in the Dolphin Clan harbored ill intentions.

Moreover, Xu Hei's departure was silent, from an inconspicuous spot, absolutely unnoticed.

"I didn't notify anyone, nor did I leave any signs. How did they lock onto me?"

"And last time, after coming out of the trench, it was the same. How did they find me?"

Xu Hei's eyes were serious. He had to understand the principle behind this tracking ability and find a way to counter it, or he could be ambushed at any time.

Xu Hei's mind raced. Whether it was Hai Teng or Hai Meng, he didn't intend to fight.

Xu Hei pushed his speed to the limit, activating the Ever-changing Fish and Dragon technique to the extreme, his tail thrashing wildly, stirring up waves, while biting the Water Control Pearl to manipulate the sea, maximizing his speed!

"Whoosh!"

A streak of light cut through the sea, heading towards the island at full speed, creating waves a thousand feet high in its wake. Such speed was astonishing.

"Friend, please wait, I mean no harm!"

A shout came from the distant sky.

The next moment, a bolt of lightning struck from the distant seabed, turning the entire sea surface blue and purple, electric arcs dancing, aiming at Xu Hei's back.

Xu Hei's expression changed, and he quickly leaped out of the water.

"Boom!!"

A thunderous explosion sounded beneath him, blasting the sea into a thousand-foot abyss, water splashing like a torrential rain. Xu Hei had just left the water when he was struck by lightning, his body paralyzed, flung forward.

No harm, this was supposed to be no harm? Fortunately, Xu Hei didn't hesitate for even a second, or he would have taken a direct hit.

"I can't stay in the water; I must get to the sky!"

Xu Hei gritted his teeth, soared into the air, and continued at full speed without slowing down.

The opponent was Lei Man, that Great Perfection Golden Core sea eel. He was definitely not a match. Xu Hei hadn't expected to be so cautious, yet still be targeted.

"Whoosh!"

Another bolt of lightning shot from an unknown distance, exploding in the water. However, Xu Hei was already in mid-air, dodging the attack in time.

Xu Hei breathed a sigh of relief. This lightning technique traveled far in water but couldn't effectively hit him in the air.

"Beast, stop!"

The opponent stopped pretending, shouting arrogantly. The sea eel frantically flapped its fins, electric arcs dancing all over its body, charging forward with sparks and lightning.

Lei Man's speed was among the top tier among sea beasts, with lightning-enhanced movement, few in the same realm could surpass him. He was confident in chasing down Xu Hei.

But to Lei Man's shock, Xu Hei's speed wasn't slow either!

Despite being at a much lower realm, he could keep up! How was this possible?
