Chapter 102: Chapter 102 - The Trials Of The Forebear (Part 10) Water Elemental Territory 3!
When the strange mermaid like creature stopped a few distance away, Mo Yuxin heard Su Yubing say that it was actually a 'Tail Bone Mermaid'.
Mo Yuxin looked towards Su Yubing and seeing her eyes, Su Yubing suddenly understood before saying,
"This is a deep sea creature called 'Tail Bone Mermaid'. Their most important feature is their tail bone which is so strong that it's said that a it can crush a foundation building cultivator alive.
They usually live in deep sea water and don't usually come out.
They are also known for being extremely ugly and disgusting with a nasty smell as well as their sharp long teeths protruding out from their jaws. They are a relatively weak rank two creatures except for their tail bone which is extremely tough and will sell for a few low grade spirit stones."
Su Yubing gave a quick introduction about this creature and Mo Yuxin instantly understood but what caught her attention most was the fact that their tail bones will sell for a few low grade spiritual stones. Though not much but for her current situation where she has almost no money, it's still a good deal.
Anyway, her system space has an extremely vast space and so she could try to kill all of them and store their tail bone if possible.
At this time, the 'tail bone mermaid ' creature was staring at Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing with a little vigilance in it's eyes and didn't try to immediately attack them as if it felt the danger from them. Even though it doesn't have much intelligence and only acts on instincts but it still has some sense.
After all, creatures like these have a good survival instinct and at this time, when Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing were also curiously observing this creature, it suddenly gnawed at them with a ferocious look and the next second, their ear like organ on the side of their face actually divided into 3 parts and a strange yet disturbing sound started sounding from it.
Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing was a little surprised by its act, before Su Yubing said,
"It's trying to communicate with its fellow tribesmen. These creatures aren't much strong individually but they have this strange ability to communicate with their fellow tribesmen and they band together to corner their pray. This is the unique sound they produce to do that." Su Yubing quickly explained to Mo Yuxin and Mo Yuxin also nodded to express her understanding.
Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing weren't at all surprised nor were they anxious by the turn of event, infact, they deliberately didn't try to stop this creature from trying to gather it's fellow tribesmen.
After all, with Mo Yuxin's strength, not even a thousand of them together would pose a threat and Su Yubing herself was far stronger than her own Cultivation level.
So they didn't try to stop it from doing it's action and it would also save them a lot of trouble if creatures like this could just keep calling their companions so they don't have to go around looking for them.
As they waited for a few seconds, suddenly the water around them started trembling slightly and both of them could feel the auras of quite a lot of these creatures coming towards them from all directions.
And within moments, Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing both were surrounded by almost 30 of these 'tail bone mermaids'. Seeing these creatures coming, Mo Yuxin couldn't help but let out a smile as the only thought in her mind was,
"A lot of spirit stones have fallen right onto my lap. I'm quite lucky."
Seeing her slight smile at the corner of her lips, Su Yubing instantly understood her inner thoughts and couldn't help but let out a low laugh but the creatures around them only felt that they seemed to have changed position with the preys and couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spine.
Because the aura emanating from Mo Yuxin really made them shiver down their spine as the feeling of dread spread throughout their whole body making them want to just run away at all cost.
But before they could even take a step back, all the 30 or so of these creatures suddenly came to a stop with a look of absolute shock in their white eyes.
If Looked carefully, there was a visible line formed on their necks and the next moment, bright green liquid which could only be blood started spurting out of their neck and their heads fell down from their neck and started floating in the water.
All of these actions happened within a single moment and if not for the sudden sword held by Mo Yuxin's hand and the green liquid which was still visible on it, nobody would've even know, just how these creatures died.
Yes, it wasn't some particularly dramatic fight nor was there any flashy sword moves, Mo Yuxin with her incredible strength again used her minor mastery in 'critical strike' and immediately attacked their most vulnerable place with the most precise movement, thus achieving this incredible effect.
Her speed in swinging her sword was so fast that it didn't even leave any afterimages nor was there any need for her to step forward herself as the invisible sword arcs released by her was Enough to deal with these low level creatures.
As the heads fell down from their neck, Mo Yuxin again took her sword above her body level and with a slight coating of spiritual energy, she moved her sword in such fast speed that it actually left tens of afterimages on it's path!
And what happened next was even more incredible and wonderful as within moments of her swinging her sword, Invisible sword arcs were released from her sword which travelled through the space before her and caused a weird ripple on the space itself but the water stayed still in it's place as if there wasn't anything to begin with.
But the next moment, the headless bodies of 30 of these 'tail bone mermaids' were again cut but this time only their tail bone which was the most precious part of their body and Mo Yuxin stored them in her system space with a single thought.
Mo Yuxin also felt that these things were too dirty, so she specifically made some changes and isolated these things in her system space in a bubble like structure so it doesn't come into contact with her system space.
As she took care of everything here, She finally turned her head towards Su Yubing again and happened to meet her still stunned yet sparkling eyes full of unconcealed admiration.
Seeing her look in her eyes, Mo Yuxin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed as she could only pretend to cough slightly to hide her shyness,
"Ahem.... What , are you looking at?"
Suddenly hearing her question, Su Yubing came out of her shock and excitedly exclaimed,
"You soo amazing!!
I knew you were powerful and had great strength but I never knew it was to such great extent!!
I couldn't even see you move your sword nor did I notice how you even took out your sword!!
And that sword!! It truly feels like a high grade treasure!! I actually feel a faint sense of oppression from it!"
Su Yubing said everything in a single breath not giving Mo Yuxin any chance to interject.
Mo Yuxin watched helplessly as she recieved her sincere praises with utmost happiness and a doting smile bloomed in her already loving eyes.
Of course, all of these changes in her expression could only be brought by Su Yubing, otherwise Mo Yuxin's cold face would almost make others think that she maybe has autism.
"It's nothing. I'm not that great." Mo Yuxin could only pretend to be humble but hearing her words, Su Yubing suddenly put on a serious expression on her face as the words she said next were truly the most sincere words of her heart,
"No need to be soo humble. You are amazing and this fact is not going to change.
Even if others don't that, in my heart, you're the most amazing person and it will never change and stay the same forever."
Hearing her say this with such a serious expression, Mo Yuxin couldn't help but be moved as she felt a warm surge in her heart and almost felt her loosing control of those burning feelings in her heart but before she could say anything, she heard Su Yubing say,
"Anyway, what grade is that sword? I feel it's quite high."
Hearing her question, Mo Yuxin suppressed those overwhelming feelings in her heart and said calmly as if it wasn't a big deal,
"It's a mystic grade spiritual weapon. It can change it's shape according to the owner and I prefer it be to be in the shape of a sword."
After Mo Yuxin finished speaking, she didn't hear any answer from Su Yubing and suddenly noticed the visible dullness in her clear almond eyes,
"Y-y-y-you!!? M-mystic grade!!!
