Son of the Spirit Beast 103 Emergency Landing

The wind was blowing hard on the Forgotten Ocean. At one point, in that immense expanse of water, there was a large ship standing still after an unexpected battle. It was Captain Fu's ship, where Hei, Lian, Xing, and Ye were traveling.

At the moment, despite the questions in their hearts, neither the captain nor his men could have the luxury of asking questions to the two young VIP passengers who had shown incredible strength.

They had to check the damage done by the spirit beasts as soon as possible and decide what to do. Right now, they were in the middle of the ocean, and the nearest cities were days crossing away. They could only pray that the damage wasn't massive and could hold out until they reached the next island.

Meanwhile, Hei and Lian, with the two little divine beasts, Ye and Xing, were collecting the carcasses of the dead spirit beasts. Only the Manta impaled on the deck of the ship by Xing was still alive, albeit not for long. Hei had indeed ordered his little sister not to kill the enemy spirit beast because he wanted to ask it some questions.

What interested Hei to know who their master was. The one who had ordered the three spirit beasts to attack every ship nearby. The wild spirit beasts, even if another spirit beast commanded them, would have used the term boss or leader. Master was a foreign term in the spirit beasts' world, except for those who had made a spirit pact with a human.

Therefore, it was very likely that a human had sent the three aquatic spirit beasts. Moreover, even if the spirit beasts were territorial, as long as you didn't create confusion in their territory, they would hardly make every effort to destroy the intruder.

And as Hei had suspected, the three spirit beasts had made a spirit pact with a beast tamer. Their goal was to kill anyone who approached his position. They didn't know what, but it seemed that their master and other humans were looking for something and didn't want to be disturbed for any reason.

"Alright. Thanks for the info. Xing, put an end to its suffering now."

'Yes, big brother.' Xing said as she raised one of her legs before piercing the manta on its head, ending its life. At that point, Xing began to dissect the dead spirit beast in search of its spirit core.

'A beast tamer and an unknown number of other humans... since he can control three spirit beasts comparable to a sixth stage spirit apprentice, the tamer must be at least a sixth stage. If he is in the company of others, then even his companions should be at the sixth stage, at least. There is no reason to investigate, and yet I am curious about the reason for their actions.'

While Hei meditated to himself, the sailors on board had finished checking the status of the ship and had communicated everything to Captain Fu. The captain had a grim expression on his face and gave some orders before heading to Hei and Lian.

Taking a look at the carcasses of the spirit beasts, Captain Fu communicated the situation to the two youths.

"First of all, I want to thank you for the help you gave us. Thanks to you, we managed to avoid victims among my crew. Unfortunately, the great white shark has caused considerable damage to the ship, and we are forced to make an emergency landing. Nearby there is an abandoned island. By momentarily tapping the leaks, we can reach the island and land on the ground. Then we will make an emergency repair so that we can resume the journey. It means, however, that once we arrive at the next island, we should stop for at least several days to complete the repairs accurately. So, you can decide whether to wait, or I can ask if there is any other boat that leaves immediately and accepts passengers."

Listening to the captain's words, Hei replied with a slight smile.

"Do not worry. For now, let's focus on getting to the island and repairing the ship. We will take care of the rest when the time comes. "

Noticing Hei's calm, Captain Fu was even more surprised. Typically, a boy so young would have been at least a little shaken by this sudden change in plans, but Hei was rather calm as if nothing serious had happened.

"I'm sorry to say when you helped us, but we can't carry all three spirit beasts. The octopus, in particular, is cumbersome and would just slow us down. If you have already taken its spirit core, we will throw it into the sea then."

"Ah, no. There's no need. I'll handle that."

After saying those words, Hei got up and went near the body of the manta. The spirit beast was then sucked into the Heart, or to be precise, into the Secret Dimension inside the Heart. Then he made the same with the body of the great white shark and the octopus.

Watching the three spirit beasts disappear like that, Captain Fu and his men opened wide both their eyes and mouths. It was amazing how those massive bodies had been sucked instantly.

"Space ring ...?" Captain Fu muttered to himself as he couldn't believe it.

As a seventh-stage spirit apprentice, he also owned a pair of space rings, but they weren't remotely large to contain all the three spirit beasts. Consequently, it was probable that the young boy in front of him had more than two space rings and that they were also first-rate space rings.

'The order to transport them came from the Forest Kingdom King of the Rainbow Island. But there is no way that they are part of the royal family. Then, they are part of a big sect? Indeed, their cultivation level is so advanced despite their young age.'

"There is something wrong?"

Suddenly a voice brought Captain Fu back to reality. When he looked up, he could see Hei looking him straight in the eye. Although Hei was neutrally looking at him, Captain Fu couldn't help but have chills down his spine. It was like being naked and helpless before a dangerous beast.

"No, there is nothing wrong. If you want, you can sit in your cabin as we head to the island."

"All right, let us know when we arrive. Lian, Xing, Ye, come on. "

Picking up his little sisters from the ground and taking Lian by the hand, Hei went down, returning to his cabin. Although it was a risk to reveal that he could store so much space on himself, Hei didn't want to give up the flesh of spirit beasts. He had decided that he would no longer hide and that he would struggle with his teeth and nails for every single piece of resource that could make him stronger, even at the cost of having to clash with other living beings and kill them.

"Ye, Xing. Come." Hei took his little sisters and put them on the bed. "It's chow time." So, he gave Ye the spirit core of the great white shark, and Xing, the octopus's one. As far as the spirit core of the manta was concerned, he would keep it aside for now.

"Once you've finished digesting, start resting. Lian, you should rest too. If there is only one island nearby that is also deserted, then it is likely that we will meet that beast tamer and the rest of his companions. I don't know what they are aiming for, but the fact is that they will try to kill us because they don't want witnesses about what they are doing on the island. Even more so now that we have killed the three spirit beasts sent as sentinels."

"Shouldn't we tell Captain Fu? Since the octopus, the shark, and the manta are dead, the spirit pact with the beast tamer has been severed, so they know that something or someone has killed their spirit beasts. It is likely that they will be on the alert and that they will attack us as soon as we arrive. Consequently, the crew of this ship will also be involved."

"There is no need for it now. They won't attack recklessly with the number of people on the ship. They will certainly take time to understand the situation. And that's where we'll hit. There is likely a treasure or something on the island. So they will split up to look for it and, at the same time, to watch over us. We will, therefore, use Fu and his men as smokescreen while we go hunting. If it is an uninhabited island, then the vegetation must have grown without a brake. And in an environment with thick vegetation, I have the confidence of being able to hunt anyone." Hei replied, smiling at Lian and showing a confident expression.

"Alright, then. We'll do as you say. In any case, I will always be behind you to help you." After saying this, Lian laid down on the bed and began to rest as Hei had ordered.

"Thanks, Lian," Hei murmured in a low voice as he went to sleep as well.

After half a day of sailing, the ship had finally reached the deserted island shown on the map of Captain Fu. As they approached, they didn't notice traces of ships nearby or on the beach. Furthermore, except for the beach, the island was covered by thick vegetation that prevented one from seeing what was in the inner region.

"Okay, start the maneuvers for landing on the island. Once on the ground, we will proceed as soon as possible to create a temporary camp. It is almost sunset now, so we will work tomorrow morning at dawn." Captain Fu shouted to his men, busy bending the sails and getting ready to dock.

"We finally arrived," Hei commented as he took a breath of air.

As he had foreseen, the vegetation had grown out of proportion due to the absence of human beings. And that greatly facilitated his plans.

Once down, Hei and Lian decided to take care of the dinner for everyone, leaving Fu and his men to think about preparing the camp instead. Hei then took out the corpse of the great white shark and began to clean it and cut it into pieces. Then he threw each of the pieces straight into Ye's mouth before the little snake spit them out.

The reason for this was that shark meat contained high doses of urea along with other substances harmful to humans if ingested. That was because sharks were carnivorous creatures, so they absorbed every toxic substance of their prey.

Hei had learned this thanks to books on alchemy, where there were recipes that talked about using meat from specific spirit beasts to achieve particular effects. And among the treated meats, there was also shark meat.

Fortunately, Hei had his little sister Ye. Possessing the Concept of Digestion, it wasn't a problem for her to absorb the harmful substances and make the meat edible. After that, it would only be enough to expel the toxic substances through the cloaca, which was nothing but a small opening in the snakes, designed to urinate and defecate.

After receiving the pieces of shark meat, Lian would then cooked the meat on a fire they had lit. Thanks to the cooking, the part of Ye drool on the meat would disappear. Fortunately, the sailors were too busy with their tasks to notice the strange process that was taking place.

When they finished preparing the portions for all Fu and his men, Hei made more for him and Lian. The remaining shark meat was then cooked as it was, without having to treat it in Ye's body. That was the portion for his little sisters, and the spirit beasts were more resistant than humans when it came to ingesting something.

Thus, the members of the ship enjoyed the shark meat outdoors, illuminated by the starlight. Since they didn't have many spices and vegetables with them, the taste was a bit bland, but it wasn't bad. It was actually quite tasty. And the two young VIP passengers had prepared an enormous amount to fill everyone's belly.

Under that cheerful and relaxed atmosphere, none of them noticed that the two young martial artists had sneaked away secretly in the forest of the island together with the small spider and the small snake that were in their company.
