95: Encountering a formidable enemy

The Merfolk Expert at the side was surprised that Arthur had developed such a close relationship with Dolia in such a short time.

However, with the goodwill Arthur had gained from previously refusing compensation, she didn't say much.

Perhaps due to the Breakthrough in their relationship, Dolia directly took off her ever-present Sound Transmission Conch bracelet!

"Brother Arthur, I'm giving you this Sound Transmission Conch. With it, even if I return to my clan, we can still keep in touch often!"

Since Dolia had given Arthur a gift, he, having just become her brother, naturally couldn't not reciprocate.

Considering they might encounter danger on their way back, Arthur directly took out a silver scroll:

"You might encounter danger on your journey back. I'm giving you this space teleportation scroll. It can teleport up to three people at once to a location two hundred miles away!"

Although Arthur only mentioned the scroll's effect and not its preciousness.

Dolia and the Merfolk Expert were not ignorant people; they both knew the rarity of space teleportation scrolls.

Knowing that this was a life-saving Divine Artifact that was hard to come by in the outside world, Arthur was now not asking for compensation, but instead giving such a precious item.

Not only was Dolia touched, but even the Merfolk Expert's gaze towards Arthur became much friendlier!

After being moved, Dolia's first reaction was to refuse, because if she accepted such a valuable gift right after calling Arthur 'brother,' it would make her seem tactless.

She waved her hands repeatedly, saying:

"The route back this time is very safe; no more accidents will happen. You should keep such a precious scroll for yourself, Brother Arthur!"

But there was no reason for Arthur to take back something he had given away:

"It's better to be safe than sorry. If something really goes wrong, do you want me, who just got a sister, to lose her again?"

Arthur knew the reason Dolia wouldn't accept the scroll was that she still thought it was too precious, so he took out another identical scroll and said:

"Look, I'm not lacking these things, so to keep me from worrying, you should take it!"

After saying that, Arthur directly forced a space teleportation scroll into Dolia's small hand.

Pressured by Arthur's assertiveness and seeing that Arthur indeed wasn't lacking this item, Dolia finally accepted the scroll.

However, her small Face was consequently filled with a happy smile.

Both sides were reluctant to part, but all good things must come to an end, and Dolia eventually left!

Arthur also promised to visit her in the Merfolk Clan later.

After Dolia left, Arthur gave another space teleportation scroll to Karona, as these items were not expensive for Arthur.

Since Dolia received one, Karona naturally couldn't be left out!

Then, considering that even a Dragon had appeared near Kate Kingdom, it was becoming increasingly dangerous!

He couldn't help but take the time to give some teleportation scrolls to his family.

Arthur, who lacked a sense of security, even took the opportunity to buy several legendary ring of protection, each worth ten million, capable of withstanding a Legendary Expert's attack for an hour, and gave one to Karona, his parents, and others.

Only then did Arthur truly feel at ease.

Arthur, currently lacking Legendary combat power, couldn't do much, and so he re-entered a peaceful life... Two days later, in Dolia's direction.

As it was the return journey, the Merfolk Expert, familiar with the route, traveled much faster this time. In just two days, they were not far from the Merfolk Clan.

The closer she got to home, the more relaxed Dolia's mood became!

Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, Dolia's luck had been terrible lately!

A week ago, she was attacked by the Naga Clan.

Although this time they were not discovered by the Naga Clan, and didn't even encounter any Naga Clan members.

However, they encountered something even worse than their whereabouts being exposed.

As they were flying near the water surface, they actually encountered two Sky Level Black Lightning Eel Demonic Beasts. The Black Lightning Eel Brothers were notorious plunderers in the area.

One must know that even if they encountered the Naga Clan, there was a high probability of not running into their experts, and it would take time for experts to provide support, giving them a chance to escape.

But now, encountering two Sky Level Experts at once was even worse than directly encountering the Naga Clan.

Black Lightning Eel Demonic Beasts are somewhat similar to electric eels, but they are an upgraded version of those ordinary electric eels. Not only are they huge, but their innate lightning attribute talent is also exceptionally outstanding.

Most importantly, the lightning they unleash is a special black lightning, several times more powerful than ordinary silver lightning, which makes few in the same rank dare to provoke them.

Especially in the ocean, where most Demonic Beasts are Water Attribute, they are almost all countered by the lightning-attributed Black Lightning Eel Brothers.

A Merfolk Clan Sky Level Expert can at most block one of them and cannot deal with the combined strength of two Black Lightning Eels.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't defeat them, as long as they're not enemies.

But unfortunately, those two Black Lightning Eels live by plundering. They like to seize others' resources to improve their own strength.

And coincidentally, after the Naga Clan failed to capture Dolia, they issued a bounty for her, spreading her image so that other experts could help capture her if they found her.

Although the Merfolk Clan has Legendary level Experts and is quite well-known in the vicinity, not everyone gives them Face.

Some Demonic Beasts have no clans, living a life where 'one person eats, the whole family is not hungry.' If they commit a crime, they can just run, so they naturally aren't afraid of the Legendary Expert behind Dolia.

The Black Lightning Eel Brothers are typical examples of this.

However, in the past, the Black Lightning Eel Brothers might offend the Merfolk, but they would never set their sights on Dolia, the Merfolk Princess.

Because that would mean an endless war!

But who made the Naga Clan have a Water Attribute Giant Dragon now? The Black Lightning Eel Brothers also wanted to become stronger, and becoming a Dragon-veined creature was one of the fastest ways to become stronger.

So they naturally wanted to capture Dolia and claim the reward from the Dragon.

On the other side, due to the notoriety of the Black Lightning Eel Brothers, the Merfolk Expert became extremely vigilant as soon as she discovered them.

She even took a detour, but when the Merfolk Expert saw the Black Lightning Eel Brothers constantly approaching them, she immediately understood that the two were coming for Dolia.

She understood that she was not a match for the Black Lightning Eel Brothers, so she took a chance and shouted at the Black Lightning Eel Brothers behind them:

"Phil, Fide, I have important matters today and don't want to waste time with you. I advise you to stop, or you won't be able to bear the consequences!"

Facing the Merfolk Expert's threat, the Black Lightning Eel Brothers grinned hideously, then increased their speed again, disdainfully saying:

"Do you think we were scared into this?"

I'll make it clear to you today, our brothers' target is the Merfolk Princess next to you.

Our luck is truly good; we brothers actually ran into the little princess of the Merfolk Clan.

If you hand her over, we can spare your life, otherwise, once we catch up, we won't be so easy to talk to!"

Seeing that the Black Lightning Eel Brothers were determined to cause trouble for them, the Merfolk Expert knew that further words were useless and it was better to put all her energy into hurrying.
