"The Water Scale Dragon Ape is right here, but it is hidden in a very secretive location. Without my help, you would find it very difficult to locate it."

"The Water Scale Dragon Ape is quite powerful, and even more formidable in underwater combat. I can help you kill it."

"In exchange, you will give me a Serpent Heart Destiny Fruit as compensation."

Carson Flores asked, "What is this Serpent Heart Destiny Fruit you mentioned? Is it an Immortal Elixir? I have never seen it and do not possess one."

The Jiao Ren responded cleanly and decisively, "Heavenly Fox Palace has them. You are the Immortal Palace Envoy, if you ask them for one, I believe they won't refuse."

Carson Flores inquired, "What is the effect of this Serpent Heart Destiny Fruit? Is it very precious? If it's extremely valuable, even as a Special Envoy, the Heavenly Fox Palace might be unwilling to give it to me."

The Jiao Ren explained, "It has special effects for us, the Jiao Ren. I need it for healing purposes; the Serpent Heart Destiny Fruit is indeed very rare and hard to obtain, but the Heavenly Fox Palace should have quite a few. You only need to request one, and they should give it to you, considering you are the Immortal Palace Envoy. The Demon Race of the Heavenly Demon Continent listen to authority but not commands, yet they will somewhat respect the Celestial Palace."

Carson Flores thought for a while and then asked, "Since you know I am the Immortal Palace Envoy, why did you attack us earlier?"

The Jiao Ren answered, "The Water Scale Dragon Ape is not easy to handle. It is very exhausting for me to face it alone. If your strength isn't sufficient, it won't help even if I assist you; I struck out as a test."

With the conversation reaching this point, Carson Flores had no reason not to agree, but he still felt uneasy about the previous battle and asked, "Why are people from the Hundred Demons Sect hunting you down?"

The Jiao Ren's voice turned cold, "I brought my wife away from the place where our race resides, just to treat her illness. We Jiao Ren cannot stay away from water for too long, so we settled here, but we were targeted by this group."

"Tears of Jiao Ren turn into pearls, and these Jiao Pearls have great use for Demon Cultivators. However, Jiao Ren dwell deep within the vast ocean in groups, making it difficult for those Demon Cultivators to find us and face us in battle. Therefore, few choose to seek conflict with us in the ocean."

"Now, as my wife and I pass through here without any strong support, these Demon Cultivators stumbled across us, and how could they resist giving us trouble?"

Carson Flores understood the backstory and immediately nodded, "If you help me obtain the Heart's Blood of the Water Scale Dragon Ape, I will go to the Heavenly Fox Palace to request the Serpent Heart Destiny Fruit for you. I just cannot assure that they will certainly give it to me, but I promise I will try my utmost!"

The Jiao Ren hesitated for a few seconds, then clenched its teeth and said, "Alright, you are the Special Envoy of the Celestial Palace. I trust you. We should act quickly; kill the Water Scale Dragon Ape, and swiftly move. Otherwise, when those Demon Cultivators return, it will bring much trouble!"

Carson Flores replied without delay, "Okay!"

"Follow me!"

The Jiao Ren dove back into the water and swam towards the distance, and Carson Flores was amazed to find that its speed in the water was astonishingly fast, covering several miles in a mere blink, truly worthy of being a mighty being living in water.

After advancing about three hundred miles, the Jiao Ren surfaced in the water, "This area is extraordinarily deep, exceeding ten thousand meters, and the Water Scale Dragon Ape is hiding in the Abyss here. I will lure it out, and you should ambush from the outside, attack with full force, and do not let it escape back into the water, or it will be difficult to capture it again."

"Alright!"

The Jiao Ren submerged underwater, and Carson Flores summoned the Ethereal Pagoda.

Selah Ellison Immortal Lord had mentioned that the Water Scale Dragon Ape was very powerful. Even for her, it would be challenging to slay it, so Carson Flores must seek Delarosa's assistance to suppress it, lest any unforeseen events occur.

Selah Ellison Immortal Lord watched the surface of the lake and whispered, "It's not necessary to kill it; as long as we find an opportunity to pierce its heart and obtain its Heart's Blood, it will be a major accomplishment."

The previously calm surface of the lake suddenly began to churn with waves, as if it were boiling.

"Boom!"

The water surface abruptly burst open, and the silhouette of the Jiao Ren shot skywards. At the same time, a massive arm, akin to a Sky-supporting Pillar, suddenly extended from the water, carrying terrifying power, and reached for the airborne Jiao Ren.

The four-meter-tall Jiao Ren appeared so tiny under this enormous arm, like a person reaching out to catch a sparrow in flight.

Carson Flores's pupils shrank slightly; the size was too exaggerated.

If one arm is this large, doesn't this mean its entire body is like a towering mountain?

The Jiao Ren brandished its Trident, transforming boundless waves into countless terrifyingly fast water columns capable of piercing mountains, aiming to strike the massive arm.

Carson Flores had seen such a method before, where two powerful Demon Cultivators were instantly killed. However, at this moment, this equally powerful technique, although causing Blood Light to erupt from the giant arm, only managed to pierce the skin without thoroughly penetrating it, not even causing severe damage.

Carson Flores was secretly shocked; the defensive power of the Water Scale Dragon Ape was immensely strong!

The water column beneath the Jiao Ren abruptly soared, carrying the Jiao Ren higher to narrowly avoid the grasp.

The Water Scale Dragon Ape's hand landed in vain, crashing onto the water surface, setting off towering waves; the next moment, its enormous body emerged from the water like a mountain suddenly breaking through the surface.
