Chapter 472: Gratitude

The viciousness of the mermaid-like creatures was shocking; it seemed like they were driven by their basic instincts and not intelligence. Fei waved his hand and let a small mermaid-like creature into the silver light sphere. Now, he was finally able to get a better look at this creature.

This thing was hideous. Its lower body looked just like a fish, and it had a ton of sticky black liquid on its scales. The six fins on its body were as sharp as knives, and its tail was full of bone spikes. Its upper body resembled a human as features like breasts and belly button could be vaguely seen. Its face was 80% similar to a human’s, but a layer of thin white membrane covered its eyes, and it had a mouth full of nail-like sharp teeth. It looked very vicious.

This creature that got seized by Fei was struggling to get free, but it was no match for Fei’s insane force. However, even though this creature was captured, it opened its mouth and let out a sound wave that could kill Six-Star Warriors.

Fei was disappointed after a period of observation.

Just like the Berserk Metal-Eating Ants, the mermaid-like creatures only had the killing instinct; there was no way that they could be tamed.

Fei observed the surroundings closely and identified some details that he didn’t discover before.

It seemed like these mermaid-like creatures occupied the areas 200 meters above the Mythical Palace, and they were hard stuck there.

“What kinds of food sources did this vicious species rely on to survive throughout the years? And why are they here? Anyone who is in this area is being attacked by them mercilessly,” Fei thought.

“Ah! No! Help!” a peak Nine-Star Warrior was surrounded and attacked by the creatures, and they tore through his defense. In just a second, he got chewed up into pieces.

Bloody scenes like this were taking place at multiple locations.

The masters who were weaker and still wanted to try out their luck underestimated the danger hidden in this place. In less than ten minutes, more than 30 Nine-Star Warriors were eaten by the mermaid-like creatures at the bottom of the ocean. The nose-piercing blood and the dismembered body parts of the masters flowed in the water, and they irritated the creatures even more.

Fei felt terrible for the masters who were getting massacred beside him.

The King expanded his silver light sphere like a balloon, and the human masters who were about to die were all protected by it. A few Nine-Star Warriors who got their Warrior Energy Flames broke apart already closed their eyes to wait for their deaths, but the intense pain they anticipated didn’t come. When they opened their eyes again, they realized that they were inside the silver light sphere, and the mermaid-like creatures could only slam their bodies against the light sphere but couldn’t break through.

“It is the King of Chambord! He saved us!”

The masters who got saved quickly understood the situation, and they were now scared since the death has passed them; it was a normal psychological reaction. However, after they looked at Fei, they realized that this King who just got into power wasn’t that vicious and ruthless at all. They felt an unprecedented sense of security, and they looked at Fei with admiration in their eyes.

Soon, the diameter of Fei’s silver light sphere increased to 20 meters, but Fei still looked comfortable.

In the end, he decided to travel and inspect the area, and he saved the masters who were in danger when he could. After ten minutes, there were more than 30 people inside Fei’s silver light sphere, and they were almost out of the attack range of the mermaid-like creatures.

Suddenly, Fei sensed another powerful invisible energy barrier that protected the structures at the bottom of the ocean, and there were also 20 arched gates.

Fei suddenly realized something. It seemed like the mermaid-like creatures were sandwich in between the two invisible energy barriers, so they couldn’t go up or down and could only stay in this part of the ocean that was about 100 meters deep like fishes in a fish tank. Although they only had 100 meters of vertical space, the horizontal space seemed limitless; there was enough room for all these terrifying creatures.

After passing through another gate, the scene in front of Fei changed again. The water pressure and the mermaid-like creatures were gone, and he opened his mouth and was able to breathe in fresh air. It gave him the illusion that he was back on land again.

Fei took a look, and he could only see endless ancient stone structures. The light-yellow color of the stones indicated their ages, and their surfaces were rough.

It seemed like Fei and this group of people landed in a plaza as huge shrines that were more than 50 meters tall were all around it.

There wasn’t any water in here since another layer of invisible energy barrier blocked the cold sea water out. Silver lights shone on the buildings, and they lit up everything within ten meters of them.

The architectural design of the structures was terrific, and it felt like only the gods could create something like this.

“How much power does it require to block the entire ocean from the bottom? It is insane!” Fei thought.

On the edge of the square, huge stone pillars lifted the roofs of the shrines. The entrances of the shrines were dark, and each of them looked like a huge Demon Beast with its bloody mouth wide open. Not too far away, there were multiple giant statues.

There were statues of almost every species; there were beasts with six wings on its back, half human half snake sea creatures with six blades in its six arms, humans with horns on their forehead, and etc……

These statues all looked real, and there seemed to be powerful life energies in them. If someone just took a peek at them, they would feel like these statues were indeed living beings.

This was a mysterious location.

This was the legendary Mythical Palace that was filled with dangers and opportunities.

“Thank you, Your Majesty!” that young Nine-Star Warrior who got saved by Fei quickly saluted and thanked Fei. He was about to be eaten by the mermaid-like creatures, and he was saved at the brink of death. He shouted, “My name is Lewis, and I’m one of the Saint Star Warriors from the St. Germain Empire. I will be forever in your debt. If Your Majesty has the chance to come to the St. Germain, I will for sure provide you with all the necessary privileges that I could.”

This young man looked righteous, and his long blonde hair, handsome face, and upright temperament all told people that his identity was majestic and noble. He was only about 25 years old, and he was already a Nine-Star Warrior; he might be from the Royal Family.

However, no one knew why he came here alone without guards; he almost died in the mouths of the mermaid-like creatures.

“Mr. Lewis, don’t mind it!” Fei smiled and didn’t want to take the credit. This move instantly made a lot of people admire him.

“I’m Mengo from the Marseille Empire, and I won’t forget how you saved my life. If Your Majesty needs anything, just send someone to the Mayor’s Mansion of Provence City in the Marseille Empire with this badge, and I, Mengo, would be willing to fight for you!” another tough-looking man said as he handed Fei a blue family badge, and he then left and went on the exploration alone afterward.

“I’m a no-name warrior. Thank you for saving my life. As long as Your Majesty need me, I, Dika, is willing to fight for you!”

“We three brothers would never forget……”

“The kindness of Your Majesty is unprecedented. As long as the two of us can leave the Mythical Palace alive, we would be willing to complete three tasks for you unconditionally……”

Fei had saved more than 30 people from the mermaid-like creatures. Although these people were caught off guards by these creatures, they were all powerful and influential figures outside of this Mythical Palace. Some of them instantly showed their gratitude and thanked the King, stating that they would be willing to help the King out if he was ever in need.

Fei didn’t act haughtily and smiled back at them.

He knew that not everyone was going to thank him, but who knows what would happen in the future? No one knew if this random act of kindness would result in anything significant in the future.

Undead Mage Hazel Bank liked what Fei did. Although he was powerful and dominating before, he had fallen for an extended period of time, and he wasn’t as arrogant and self-centered like those other lords. He knew the importance of friends, and he was in favor of what the King was doing.

However, not everyone was thankful.
