“This isn’t going to work. That thing has the black seawater to heal it. The Magic City sent out three Top Seaters so they could kill the Sea Skeleton King in a single blow!” Zhang Xiaohou said.

They realized the importance of understanding their enemy’s abilities. They thought the Sea Skeleton King had lost its ability to heal with the black seawater after it was severely injured, but it could still Summon the stuff to repair itself.

Mo Fan had kept a very close eye on the creature.

The Sea Skeleton King’s previous injuries were still around.

Its arm was still missing. Its chest and abdomen had many holes that were left from the previous round. It had only healed the new injuries they had caused it!

It was an interesting find. If the black seawater was really that useful, why didn’t it heal the rest of its body parts? It could easily crush them after recovering its strength!

“Lingling mentioned there’s a Totem Seal on its backbone.”

Mo Fan purposely moved around behind the Sea Skeleton King. It was a little challenging to find the Totem Seal because of the Sea Skeleton King’s size.

“Is it a Totem Beast?” Mo Fan wondered to himself.

No matter how he looked at the Sea Skeleton King, it did not bear any resemblance to the Totem Beasts. They had not found any records about it, either.

What about the Totem Seal on its back?…

“Lingling, can you find out which Totem Beast the seal belongs to?” Mo Fan asked her.

Lingling had been searching for clues through her memories and notes before Mo Fan had even asked.

Totem Seals were able to combine into bigger Seals. The problem was, Lingling had to find out if the Totem Seal was a smaller one or a bigger one, or whether it was a Sacred Totem Seal first!

The ancient Totem Beasts had been able to devour weaker Totem Beasts to claim their bodies and power. It was not easy to find a compatible Totem Seal among so many of them!

“If it isn’t the Seal of a Great Totem Beast, it should belong to a Sacred Totem Beast!” Lingling was hiding far away from the Sea Skeleton King. She was focusing all her attention on finding the right Totem Seal.

She was like a little girl playing with puzzles. She kept scrambling the pieces and reassembling them to find the right seal. After all, the Totem Seals of certain Totem Beasts were stackable!

“A Totem Beast with mysterious feathers…”

Lingling finally found a matching Seal in one of the groups.

The Totem Beast with mysterious feathers and the Moon Moth Phoenix belonged to the same branch of a Sacred Totem Beast. Lingling had filtered them out at first because she assumed the Sea Skeleton King had nothing to do with the two flying Totem Beasts.

To her surprise, the Sea Skeleton King’s Totem Seal actually belonged to the same group as the mysterious Totem Beast and the Moon Moth Phoenix. However, she had no idea which ancient Totem Beast the full combination of their Totem Seals would lead them to.

“Sister Jiang, can you check if your brother’s notes have anything related to this group of Totem Beasts?” Lingling showed Jiang Shaoxu the combination she had come up with.

Jiang Shaoxu knew the information was critical to the fight the rest were fighting. She tried her best to recall the Seal.

Jiang Shaoxu entered a dream. Whenever she tried to recall her past, she would enter a dream she had created for herself to recall her deepest memories and remind her about the information on Totem Beasts Jiang Shaojun had shared with her.

It sounded a little abstract, but it had helped her find many Totem Beasts!

“There was once a Four-Eyed Bird which was also called the Undying Bird in the myths. It could heal itself with fire and be reborn with flames. It was the Guardian God of the tribes in the west, a natural enemy of the demon wolves and tigers.”

“Brother, why do you always lie to me? If the Undying Bird did exist, why did it disappear?”

Jiang Shaoxu’s parents were not around most of the time when she was young, busy with matters of state. It was her brother Jiang Shaojun who had looked after her, but Jiang Shaojun often went off on adventures too.

Whenever he came back home, he would share his discoveries with his little sister passionately.

Jiang Shaoxu always treated them as stories. She had forgotten most of them.

Luckily, she was a Psychic Mage. A person’s memories would never disappear, they were merely hidden deep in their mind. They just needed something symbolic to make them remember.

The Totem Seal was the best symbol she could ask for!

“No one can kill it, unless it has lost the will to live.”

“It can heal with fire. Even the warmth of sunlight was enough for it to be reborn.”

“So if it chooses to end its own life, the only way is to hide in the dark and cold deep sea and bury itself there to die completely.”

“However, it was just a temporary Seal of time. If the ocean dried up one day, allowing sunlight to reach the bottom of the sea, or lava happened to flow across its remains, it would return and soar into the sky in flames!”

Jiang Shaoxu woke up from the dream right after Jiang Shaojun finished the sentence.

“It’s the Four-Eyed Bird!” Jiang Shaoxu opened her eyes and told Lingling.

“The Four-Eyed Bird that heals with fire and is reborn through flames. The Sea Skeleton King’s ability is similar to it!”

“But…it’s healing with water!”

Jiang Shaoxu fell into deep thought. She smacked her head after she realized something!

She immediately transmitted her voice to everyone with her Psychic Magic.

“That thing has the traits of an Undead. I believe it must have refined the Four-Eyed Bird’s remains in the deep sea, thus allowing it to heal and be reborn with water!” Jiang Shaoxu said.

“What difference is knowing that going to make? We just want to know how we can kill it!” Zhao Manyan smiled wryly.

Even a scrawny camel was bigger than a horse. The Sea Skeleton King was a formidable enemy. The group had failed to inflict any serious injuries on the creature. On the other hand, they were being gradually worn down, and were almost at their limit.

“The Four-Eyed Bird can be reborn in flames, even if only its remains are left. You can try having the bone with the Totem Seal on the Sea Skeleton King come into contact with fire!” Jiang Shaoxu said.

The Sea Skeleton King had to possess the bones of the Undying Bird, which granted it outstanding capabilities. They were also the reason why it was able to heal its injuries so quickly!
