Chapter 1927 - 1926: Restoration

After Big Scar received this slap, he spat out a mouthful of blood, which attracted a large group of sea beasts when mixed with the seawater.

Sea beasts can smell the scent of blood and have an inexplicable love for it; groups of sea beasts rolled up from the seabed, shaking the small boat several times.

"Sea beasts are coming, Tang Rao, be careful."

Although it's not clear from which direction Tang Rao is currently, as long as one speaks loudly, he should be able to hear, right?

The array on the small boat is still making its final stand; Tang Rao sees the lurking sea beasts underwater and had been pondering on how to completely ruin Big Scar, now suddenly he thought of a good way.

For him alone to handle Big Scar is somewhat difficult, but if he could unite the sea beasts underwater, would there be any difficulty in the next actions?

Having a plan in mind, he naturally wants to realize it immediately; Tang Rao deliberately circled around Big Scar, waiting for a good opportunity to cause him some discomfort in blood-prone areas, leading to superficial injuries. Big Scar, in his search for Tang Rao, loses concern for the people on the boat.

Under Tang Rao's subtle influence, he drifts further away from the boat.

Big Scar's blood blends with the ocean, reaching a certain distance; Tang Rao judges that the power of the sea beasts wouldn't affect the people on the boat when he injures Big Scar's leg again. This time, using a sharp instrument, he created a big gash on Big Scar's leg, causing accelerated blood flow, driving the sea beasts crazy as they leapt out of the water without thinking.

On the sea surface, there's only the shadow of Big Scar; Tang Rao is concealed by a magical net, hence these sea beasts can only chase after Big Scar.

Big Scar was terrified.

The densely packed sea beasts were all coming for him, and only then did he realize Tang Rao's intentions.

Previously, there had been many opportunities to seriously injure Big Scar, but Tang Rao never took them. He once thought Tang Rao was foolish for not causing him harm, now he finally understood why; Tang Rao never planned to kill him directly, he just wanted to use Big Scar's blood to attract sea beasts, letting them solve the problem.

Big Scar hopelessly watched one by one sea beast emerge from the sea; facing one or two, or ten to twenty sea beasts, he might still manage, but with so many, how could he handle it?

It's not a matter of tens or hundreds anymore; the sea was swarming with sea beasts, with some even fighting each other for the freshest bite.

"Don't eat me, don't eat me, I'm innocent, go eat them, there are many people over there, isn't it better to spare me and eat there?"

Big Scar's wounds were still within a controllable and bearable range, but his blood loss couldn't be easily replenished in a short time.

Big Scar felt dizzy, fighting in mid-air for a short while before feeling entirely weak and uncontrollably falling into the sea.

Even on the sea surface, it wasn't easy, so the outcome of "plopping" into the sea can be imagined.

At the moment Big Scar fell, Tang Rao didn't dare to look.

Just imagining a large group of sea beasts tearing apart and gnawing at a person was nauseating for Tang Rao, almost making him vomit on the spot.

The surging waves were stirred by feasting sea beasts, and soon Big Scar's bones disappeared, the activity calmed, until the sea returned to its previous tranquility.

Only then did Tang Rao return to the sea surface, took off the magical net, and appeared next to Rao Linger.

"I have fed you my best and most useful elixir pills; Big Scar was bitten and eaten by sea beasts, so you don't need to be afraid anymore, none of us will be harmed."

Rao Linger didn't know whether Tang Rao's words were meant for himself or to comfort her. Regardless, when Rao Linger heard Tang Rao say that Big Scar was dead, her tense heart finally relaxed.

Big Scar's death meant that they narrowly escaped danger; the previous worry and fear no longer had any purpose.

"Are we safe now? Should we head directly to the South Island, or what?"

Once Big Scar is dead, naturally they are safe, but the array has already been damaged; after running around, it's inevitable to encounter deranged sea beasts, if attacked by sea beasts again, they might as well not go to South Island and just die here.

"Of course, it's not over yet; I need to repair the array, the time required is uncertain, as long as everyone stays calm on the boat, we will be safe."

The array was previously set up with guidance from Wu Suowei after consulting many people; his understanding of arrays wasn't as good as Tang Rao's. Tang Rao's so-called array repair actually involved not just repair but enhancement, which he had long prepared in his mind.

Relying solely on the array to reach South Island is unrealistic; he doesn't want to experience such thrills again.

"No problem, actually, I wanted you to repair the array long ago, just didn't want to undermine my work, so you wouldn't mind, right?"

Wu Suowei knew his array had many flaws, but didn't want to self-criticize, and didn't tell Tang Rao the array always had issues, not quite reliable?

Hearing this, he wasn't harmed by Big Scar, but indeed was hurt emotionally by Wu Suowei.

"Wasn't it just to avoid being laughed at as a mentor? But it was for your benefit. Don't dislike your mentor anymore."

For Tang Rao's benefit? Everyone knows it was for Wu Suowei himself when saying such grandiose words, Wu Suowei was truly shameless.

He simply didn't want to face himself.

"Initially, I didn't dislike you that much, but after what you said, I seem to dislike you even more than before."

Tang Rao criticized Wu Suowei's dishonesty while pondering how to modify the array. Wu Suowei kept explaining while women cared for Rao Linger, concerning themselves with her recovery.

"Good disciple, look at your master's array and maybe consider some wine? Or should we brainstorm some more?"

Tang Rao felt like losing a chunk of hair; he just wanted to quietly think of solutions, but Wu Suowei hasn't stopped talking next to him until Tang Rao set aside his tools, looking fiercely at Wu Suowei's wrinkled old face.

"Are you finished talking? If not, continue. If you are, let me quietly finish repairing the array, then we can discuss further, what do you think?"
