Chapter 149: Chapter 148 Condiments, Pots, Ingredients_1

The Dragon King of the East Sea, as the eldest brother, had no hesitation in extending his help, for he knew well the capability of the Stone Turtle—he had seen it himself. A Human Immortal of Eight Star ranking? Capturing a mere rabbit would be a cinch!

Therefore, the South Sea Dragon King quickly voiced his thanks, "Many thanks to my eldest brother and my fourth brother for their righteous assistance."

The Dragon King of the East Sea burst out laughing, "We are brothers after all. Helping out is only natural."

He had his own calculations too. Watching his younger brothers take action one by one, it wouldn’t be right if he, as the eldest, showed no response. Besides, the South Sea Dragon King had tested the waters twice, the Western Sea Dragon King once, and the Dragon King of the Northern Sea was confident enough to dispatch his top commander to attempt again.

If the Dragon King of the Northern Sea were to capture the rabbit, and he had done nothing, it would look bad for him.

That’s why the Dragon King of the East Sea interjected immediately, instructing the Stone Turtle to join the expedition, to snatch a bit of the glory for himself, demonstrate their military might, and consolidate his status as the Big Brother.

Of course, the ranking among the brothers was according to age, and there was no real talk of usurping the throne. Still, the feeling of being surpassed by a younger brother was... uncomfortable.

So there they were, each Dragon King with their own agenda, chuckling together, and thus the expedition—ahem, the campaign to capture the rabbit—was agreed upon.

After receiving their orders, the Stone Turtle and the Flying Whale gathered eight hundred various sea creatures, including shrimp soldiers and other marine spirits, all of which leapt into the Flying Whale’s mouth. After a pat on the belly and a tilt of his head, the Flying Whale said, "Brother Stone Turtle, with my eight hundred sailors, I can create a Formation strong enough to trap a Human Immortal. Just stand on the side and cheer for me."

Hearing this, the Stone Turtle chuckled, well aware that the Flying Whale was afraid of him stealing the limelight. Without taking offense, he replied, "That’s fine. If younger brother Flying Whale can capture the target, it saves me the trouble. If not, I’ll take over. Once we’ve captured the rabbit, we can both enjoy a bowl of rabbit soup."

The Flying Whale laughed heartily, "Naturally! To be honest, when I got the notice, I thought they wanted me to stew the rabbit. I even prepared the spices and packed them in my stomach. But then it turned out to be a capture, not a cooking mission, sigh... Not happy..."

The Stone Turtle also laughed, "What use are spices without a pot? Enough talk, let’s go."

With hearty laughter, the two soared into the sky, heading straight for the Moon Palace.

Inside the Southern Sea Dragon Palace, the Dragon Kings gathered around the Formation, watching the two depart and chatting jovially about cooking rabbit stew, all the while keeping a vigilant eye on the screen to prevent any surprises...

They watched as the pair approached the moon and entered the clouds above it, then they could see no more.

Meanwhile, Qin Shou, Wu Gang, and Niu Dali were having the time of their lives, feasting on seafood and bragging confidently... watching as a huge crab was reduced to nothing but its shell.

Niu Dali belched contentedly, "Eating like this is awesome, a far cry from the days of veggies at Shushan; big brother, I’ll follow you from now on. Want something to eat? Just call out, and it comes to you. It’s like being the Jade Emperor..."

Wu Gang replied, "Nonsense, I have never heard of an Immortal who can summon delicacies with a mere thought. It must be a coincidence..."

"Where’s the coincidence? Shout for shrimp, and shrimp fall. Shout for crab, and crab fall... I believe it," retorted Niu Dali.

Wu Gang snorted, "That’s so strange? Rabbit, try summoning a pot of seafood hotpot for me."

Picking at his teeth, Qin Shou snickered and said, "Though I don’t believe I’ve got that ability, there’s no harm in shouting. Let’s give it a try. Here goes, I’m about to shout! Hey god, bring me a pot of seafood hotpot!"

After he shouted, there was no response from the sky...

Wu Gang burst into laughter, "See, I told you it was a coincidence. Shouting doesn’t work, haha... If this rabbit could really summon hotpot with a shout, I’d teach him a powerful magic!"

Boom!

A thunderous roar echoed!

All three jumped up from the ground in unison, looking at each other and exclaiming in disbelief, "No way?"

Looking up at the sky, they saw black lightning tear through the heavens, accompanied by crackling sounds. Amidst it, they faintly heard someone yelling, "My armor!"

Then another voice shouted, "Set up the formation to block it, ah... Hurry, run!"

Next, they saw a black object falling from the sky, growing bigger and bigger!

"Get out of the way!" Niu Dali shouted, but when he turned his head, he found out that Rabbit and Wu Gang had already run far away...

Niu Dali rolled his eyes and cursed, "Damn..."

Bang!

The black spot landed, and it turned out to be a small mountain with a diameter of five meters! With its peak pointing downwards, it struck with incredible strength; despite its small appearance, its weight was obviously not light.

Niu Dali lived up to his name, possessing incredible strength. He reached out his hands to catch the small mountain, then shook it to dissipate its force. He set it aside and then quickly blew on his palms, exclaiming, "Whew... so hot, so hot, phew... this thing feels like it’s been burned through, really hot."

On the other side, Qin Shou didn’t respond as he stared fixedly at the black lightning in the sky.

As expected, the lightning turned and flew towards the Moon Palace!

Qin Shou said, "Gang, help me take a look, what’s the deal with this thing? Why does it keep flying this way every time?"

Wu Gang, having enjoyed so many delicious treats from Qin Shou, didn’t shirk this time and looked up as well.

The black lightning was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was above the Moon Palace!

Just then, as if the lightning had struck water, ripples spread through the void, and the black lightning disappeared upon contact...

"What’s going on?" Qin Shou couldn’t understand and turned to look at Wu Gang.

Wu Gang squinted and said, "It’s not lightning! It’s not a formation, it’s not a barrier..."

Qin Shou raised an eyebrow and asked, "Then what is it?"

Wu Gang shook his head, "I don’t know..."

Qin Shou frowned, "Uh... Gang, you’ve been talking for a while, and it’s like you’ve said nothing. What use are you to me?"

Wu Gang gave Qin Shou a look and said, "Although I can’t see its origin, it has no malice towards you, so you don’t need to worry too much."

Qin Shou wore a look of bemusement, asked a few more questions, but Wu Gang couldn’t give a clear answer... only assuring that the thing bore no malice.

At that moment, Niu Dali exclaimed, "Oh my god! Big brother, Wu Gang, come here and look!"

The two turned at the sound and saw Niu Dali had climbed to the top of the small mountain. The mountain wasn’t upside down; its peak was against the ground. From this angle...

"Why does this look like a pot?" Qin Shou muttered subconsciously.

Wu Gang shook his head, "It’s not a pot, it’s a turtle shell, from an old turtle that has been in cultivation for who knows how many years. But if the shell is here, where’s the turtle?"

In the void, a shell-less old turtle wailed as it ran toward the Southern Sea Dragon Palace...

Behind it, a whale with a face full of panic ran while mumbling, "Too terrifying, if it weren’t for the Eight Hundred Navy blocking the way at the critical moment, I would have surely died! This rabbit is too ruthless..."
