sensing their insignificance GI anji
gently shed them away uncertain of how
long chingin would need to absorb the
Elixir Gian G took out her shovel and
began treasure hunting nearby hoping to
unearth a treasure chest from the ocean
floor after an hour of fruitless digging
Gian returned to chingin side bringing
along 20 clumps of clay 20 Bubbles and
20 pieces of fish meat to keep her
company the system alerted her that
oxygen was running low prompting gon G
to quickly consume a second mid-level
bubble chingin remained still sitting
quietly within her barrier resembling a
porcelain doll suddenly the previously
tranquil seabed stirred with movement
giang G swam towards the disturbance and
spotted a massive shark approaching them
glancing back at chingin she realized
the shark had likely been attracted to
her presence and knew she had had to
prevent it from reaching chingin without
hesitation she dashed forward trying to
divert the sharkk attention elsewhere
however the shark ignored Gian entirely
unyieldingly swimming towards chin I in
a moment of desperation Gian retrieved a
muddled fish from her backpack sliced it
open with her dagger and swam away to
disperse its blood in the water the
shark enticed by the scent charged
towards Gian G mouth wide open I in a
swift maneuver Gian G leaped onto the
sharkk back plunging her highle dagger
into it with fervor the shark recoiled
in pain thrashing and casting G on G
aside towards the Rocks nearly knocking
her unconscious though her injuries were
not life-threatening they hindered her
Mobility quickly she consumed a healing
potion to recover observing the massive
shark Gian G realized this was not the
same one she had previously wounded this
one was considerably larger with
enhanced speed and strength as the shark
regained its composure charged towards
giangi once more giangi resorted to her
old tactics once more but this time she
swiftly thrust two blades into the eyes
of the giant shark the enormous creature
deprived of sight became frantic and
lost its ability to assess the situation
thrashing its massive body in a wild
frenzy standing at a distance G on G
Drew her intermediate bow and launched
10 swordfish arrows at the Colossal
shark which soon lay still she then
dissected the shark acquiring five
pieces of shark meat three shark skins
and two shark teeth this battle had
exhausted her considerably perhaps the
shark had indulged too much and being
rather dimwitted could only swim in a
straight line otherwise defeating it
would have been quite the challenge what
a boon the foolish fish had turned out
to be dragging her weary body back to
chingin side she found chingin gradually
opening her eyes and dispelling the
barrier swimming towards giangi she
grasped her hand and said Ani what
troubles you you seem unwell that I'm
fine have you finished absorbing did
anything go arai yes I have completed my
absorption m y inner core has condensed
and once we return to the Dragon Palace
my father will surely find a way to help
me fuse it after chingin spoke she led
giangi back to the shore upon their
return giangi felt an immense sense of
relief Dudu awaited anxiously on the
beach and upon seeing G anj's safe
return immediately leaped into her
Embrace anji thank you for helping me so
much once I figure everything out I will
return to find you chingin said her
voice choked with emotion Gian G
slightly bewildered pondered why chingin
spoke as if she were offering herself
there's no need for thanks you gifted me
a small seashell we are already friends
it is only natural for friends to assist
one another chingin paused contemplating
are we friends now Gian completely
oblivious to the thoughts of the Dragon
Clan Maiden found them exceedingly naive
if they were aware that they were merely
NPCs and that their assistance was
merely for the completion of a quest it
