Zhao Manyan and Mu Bai finally returned near dawn.

Their clothes were ragged, like they were victims of a ship that had sunk and were begging for shelter in the city. Their hair had dried after being soaked in seawater. Not only did they look miserable, they smelled like three-day-old fish, too.

Despite an appearance which would easily convince people to stay a few hundred meters away from them, Zhao Manyan was smiling like a retard who had found some treasure in the sea.

“Did it work?” Jiang Shaoxu asked, while pinching her nose.

“It did! It was one hell of a ride, but I do believe you now,” Zhao Manyan exclaimed excitedly.

Zhao Manyan had been hesitant to believe Jiang Shaoxu when she explained the relationship of the Black Tortoise and the Totem Beasts. After all, Baxia had never mentioned he had any siblings. However, Zhao Manyan believed Jiang Shaoxu was telling the truth when he saw the carcass under Dawn Island.

Baxia’s Totem Seal was surprisingly compatible with the corpse’s Totem Seal, helping deduce the Seal of another Totem Beast. Jiang Shaoxu was on point; apart from Baxia, the Black Totem Snake, and the body in the sea, there were other Totem Beasts that were subordinates of the Black Tortoise. If they found all the Seals, they could combine them into the Seal of the Sacred Totem Beast!

The Black Tortoise used to be one of the strongest Totem Beasts. Zhao Manyan had initially been following Mo Fan around looking for Totem Beasts because he had nothing else to do. However, he was now caught in the middle of it all.

The way Baxia had shown up in Venice had already given Zhao Manyan a strong first impression. How shocking would a real Sacred Totem Beast be? He was slowly approaching it and learning its true identity, whether it was still alive or if it had fallen to eternal slumber, similar to the dead Beast in the sea. If it was still alive, as a Totem Guardian, could he get the Sacred Totem Beast to fight by his side? If it was dead, its remains might still grant him incredible benefits!

“What’s the thing in the sea called?” Mu Bai asked. Mu Bai was still in awe still when he recalled the breathtaking sight in the sea.

“It’s Aofu, the ancestor of every ocean beast. Those creatures with massive bodies and shells are most likely related to it in some way,” Jiang Shaoxu stated.

“You know that too?” Zhao Manyan was surprised.

“I told you, my brother left a lot of clues behind. I’m slowly recalling them as I trace his steps. He mentioned there was a Totem Beast’s burial site related to Baxia somewhere around Dawn Island. He also mentioned a flying Totem Beast was constructing its nest above the clouds of some ocean. I can only piece the puzzles together by visiting the places myself or relying on the information you gave me. However, it’s very likely the creature under Dawn Island was Aofu. So… did it help?” Jiang Shaoxu asked with some anticipation.

“Of course it did, as soon as my Wooden Clapper touched its corpse… Forget it, I’m too tired. I’ll tell you tomorrow,” Zhao Manyan said.

“Mu Bai, how about the spores?” Lingling asked.
