"Doesn’t the moon today look like a ship?"
Wanda and the others were stunned for a moment.
But their expressions immediately changed.
The greatest reason the Mink Tribe could become valuable targets in the slave trade across the seas was their innate ability to transform and unleash their full power.
On the night of a full moon, when they looked at the moon in the sky and absorbed its lunar power, they could transform into a state resembling a giant moonlit beast.
Once they entered this form, their strength could increase by onefold, or even several times over.
Their speed and physical strength would soar, and even the electrical attacks they could generate would become vastly more powerful.
It was practically a cheat ability.
However, this power was a double-edged sword. Not every member of the Mink Tribe could control the immense increase in strength and the wild instincts that came with the transformation.
For a Mink who lacked combat experience and had not undergone extensive training and refinement, accidentally looking at the full moon and transforming could be a nightmare for everyone around them.
A Moon Lion who could not control itself could truly be called a monster.
This was especially true for someone like Carrot, who had been entrusted with the hopes of both Dukes.
If she accidentally entered her Sulong form, it would be an absolute nightmare for everyone else!
Unless the two Dukes personally intervened, subduing Carrot was simply beyond their capabilities.
"Carrot, what are you talking about? You just looked at the moon?" Wanda immediately covered Carrot’s eyes and hurriedly asked.
But before they could react, crackling sounds erupted from Carrot’s body like a string of exploding firecrackers.
Pedro’s expression changed drastically as he shouted urgently,
"Wanda, get out of the way! Carrot really did look at the moon! She can’t suppress her Sulong transformation. Be careful not to get caught in her attack!"
ROAR!
A wild roar suddenly erupted.
Blazing arcs of electricity instantly burst from Carrot’s body.
The adorable rabbit from before instantly transformed into a cold-eyed, sharp-featured beauty with long white hair flowing down to her waist.
Wanda’s expression changed dramatically. She didn’t even have time to say anything as she hurriedly retreated.
"Notify the two Dukes immediately! Carrot has entered her Sulong form! The two of us can’t subdue her on our own!"
BOOM!
Violent lightning exploded outward.
Carrot let out another roar and shot toward Wanda and the others like a streak of white lightning.
As Carrot’s mentor and instructor, Pedro’s expression changed drastically.
He was usually rather cold toward Carrot, but he knew exactly how terrifying she was in her Sulong form. Otherwise, she would never have been regarded as a potential successor to the title of Duke.
"Wanda, get out of the way! We’ll cover you!"
BANG!
The moment he finished speaking, Wanda’s entire body was blasted away like a cannonball.
Under the explosion of countless arcs of electricity, the Minks who had been preparing to approach were sent tumbling backward. Even Pedro was no exception.
After finally steadying himself seven or eight meters away, he hurriedly looked toward the battlefield.
BOOM!
Wanda slammed into a stone monument in the plaza hundreds of meters away.
The tremendous impact shattered the monument, and her body was forcibly embedded into the stone. For the moment, she was completely unable to free herself.
Seeing Carrot charging toward her once again, her razor-sharp claws wreathed in lightning, a bitter smile appeared on Wanda’s face.
She roared,
"Pedro! Get everyone out of here! The Carrot right now can only be subdued if the two Dukes join forces. Otherwise, we can only wait until she exhausts herself!"
"Don’t worry about me! I won’t die!"
Pedro and the other Minks’ expressions changed slightly.
They naturally understood how powerful Carrot was.
If the two Dukes joined forces, they could indeed subdue Carrot without injuring her.
But the problem was that the two Dukes had not spoken to each other for decades.
Getting them to work together to subdue Carrot would obviously be harder than reaching the heavens!
Watching Carrot streak toward Wanda like a bolt of lightning, they could do nothing against such overwhelming speed.
They could only stand there helplessly.
As Wanda watched the rapidly enlarging figure in her pupils, she could only struggle bitterly, trying to move her body even slightly so she could at least avoid a fatal blow.
However, the moment that thought flashed through her mind—
An unexpected figure suddenly appeared in front of her, causing her pupils to contract violently.
The sudden appearance of this person was completely beyond her expectations.
But what surprised her even more was that, in the face of Carrot’s devastating attack, this uninvited guest seemed completely unable to react.
He simply stood in front of her without even making the slightest move to defend himself.
Was he seriously planning to defend with his face?
BOOM!
Endless lightning poured down like a raging torrent.
The attack descended with the might of heaven itself, and the resulting explosion sent a hurricane-like shockwave sweeping outward.
As violent arcs of lightning scattered in every direction, Wanda, Pedro, and the others all felt their hearts tremble.
Faced with this sudden newcomer who had actually chosen to defend himself with his face, they desperately wanted to know—
Did his face hurt?
No!
More importantly—
What the hell was happening right now?!
The clouds of dust gradually dispersed.
Everyone’s eyes simultaneously fell upon the two figures in the center of the battlefield.
The sight before them caused their pupils to contract violently.
They were practically left dumbfounded.
He had blocked it!
Carrot’s attack—which they had believed could only be stopped if the two Dukes joined forces—had actually been blocked by this man.
Most importantly, the uninvited guest hadn’t even moved his hands.
He had simply stood there and used his face to block that thunderous attack.
If they hadn’t witnessed it with their own eyes, no one would have been willing to believe it.
"Look! Carrot’s attack was stopped an inch away from that guy! There’s a golden light flowing around his body, and a gigantic Guanyin has appeared behind him!"
One of the members of the Musketeer Unit suddenly turned pale and cried out in astonishment.
The instant his words fell, the Thousand-Armed Kan’on behind Lucas had already become almost tangible, enveloping him completely.
The countless arcs of lightning were all blocked outside it.
Looking at Carrot, who was only inches away, Lucas raised the gourd of wine in his hand and took a small sip before saying,
"I’m sorry, everyone. I apologize for disturbing you."
"However, I’ve come here this time because I wanted to meet with Pedro Four-Thousand-Million—no, that’s not quite right. I mean, I’d like to meet your two Dukes. I hope there won’t be any misunderstanding."
"Pedro, Wanda, could you help me inform them?"
"You know us?"
Pedro and Wanda’s expressions changed drastically.
The Mink Tribe had always lived in isolation from the outside world.
Only Pedro had ventured out to sea and traveled extensively.
If this man could recognize Pedro, that would still be understandable.
But for him to know Wanda’s name as well was completely unexpected.
However, before either of them could say anything, their expressions suddenly changed as they looked at the gradually enlarging black shadow in the sky.
Carrot had been right.
There really was a ship flying in the sky!
