Floating above their heads were merfolk!
"Father!"
Xiya let go of Qiao Xixi's hand, about to swim up, but Qiao Xixi grabbed her.
"Don't rush. Let's check our surroundings first."
Qiao Xixi swept the beam of the Lighting Device in her hand across the area above them. They were still some distance away, so she couldn't pinpoint Xijing's exact location.
However, the beam of light quickly attracted a behemoth.
"Is that a Blue Whale Beast?"
Even as the massive Blue Whale Beast slowly approached, Qiao Xixi could feel an immense pressure bearing down on her.
"Yes, it's a Blue Whale Beast."
"Is it guarding your father and the others? Have you had conflicts with the Blue Whale Beast clan before?"
Xiya bit her lip and shook her head. "I don't know. Father said that Blue Whale Beasts are the guardians of the sea, and that we must always treat them with reverence."
