At the very instant the Sky Blue Snake met its demise.
Somewhere in the unnamed seas of the outer ocean.
A middle-aged man stood at the bow of a ship, a mouthful of blood suddenly gushed out, followed by a face filled with fury.
Beside him, another man in white robes asked with some confusion, "Fellow Daoist, what happened?"
"My spirit beast, the Sky Blue Snake, has fallen to the bottom of the sea!"
The middle-aged man's face was stricken with grief, as if knives were slicing through his heart.
It had cost him a great deal of Spirit Stones to raise that spirit beast to the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm, and now it was all gone.
"It was perfectly safe the last few times, and each time some Spiritual Objects were even found."
The other man in white was also somewhat bemused.
