On the deck, the noble young masters gathered in a circle and stared at Lei Luo. Everyone had a smile on their faces.
They originally wanted to enter the depths of the sea to search for traces of the Poison Dragon. They also wanted to see if they could pick up some dragon scales. However, picking up these things was only a small benefit, while finding traces of the Poison Dragon would be a huge contribution.
Originally, they were a little confused about the surrounding sea. After all, humans rarely came to the northernmost sea area. There were no topographic maps or routes.
However, now that they had encountered a merman who was familiar with the sea, they were lucky.
The youth from the Wumon family coughed and pretended to be mature as he asked, "When you were underwater, you said you were familiar with the nearby sea area, but the Merman Race's base is very far from here, right? Why did you come here? The Mage Union even sealed off the sea area. How did you avoid the Mage Union?"
"We found you down there as soon as we went into the water. Were you camping and pretending to have a chance encounter?"
"Tell me, who sent you here?"
The young man had only intended to say a few words to show his abilities, but the more he spoke, the more he felt that something was wrong. He frowned.
When the other youths standing around heard this, they also hesitated.
Meanwhile, the four warriors from before took two steps forward and pressed their hands to the hilt of their swords.
Lei Luo was stunned. It was purely an accident that he met these people, but now that the young man said it, it seemed like he really had a plan.
If he could not explain himself clearly, he would have to fight now. It was useless to deal with these noble youths. Even if he killed them, there were still many humans waiting on the Merman island.
Only by assaulting the human Legends and Demigods could he stop this operation and help his mother in this lifetime.
He would follow these noble youths and fish out the experts behind them.
Lei Luo's eyes flickered as he explained, "When I was young, I was expelled from the race and lived on the island in front of us for a period of time. There was a dead volcano on the island that was filled with flint stones."
"Furthermore, only the sea area surrounding the Merman Race was sealed. I simply went around the sealed area. Then, I just arrived here when I ran into this ship."
Seeing that Lei Luo's information was specific to the island environment, the noble youths were doubtful.
The youth from the Wumon clan waved his hand. "Since you are so accurate, we will believe you for the time being. Lead the way to the island in front of us. If the environment on the island is different from what you said, there is no need to hold back. Kill him first."
The first two sentences were directed at Lei Luo, while the latter two sentences were instructions for the warriors on the ship.
After gaining their trust for a short time, Lei Luo began giving them directions.
He didn't give random directions. Instead, he guided the boat around. If they traveled in a straight line, it would take only three hours to get there. However, according to Lei Luo's route, it would take six hours.
There was nothing to gain by stalling for time, but the group of teenagers cruising along the dry sea had nothing else to do. Typically, they talked to pass the time.
These youths were all human nobles, and the information they casually revealed was something that ordinary businessmen could not come into contact with.
Thus, it was a good place to gather information.
Lei Luo's mind was mostly on the youths behind him. He listened to their conversation while a small part of his mind was focused on leading the way.
Six hours later, the ship arrived at an island.
To verify whether what Lei Luo had said was true, the youths took their guards to the island and headed for the center of the island.
Lei Luo followed behind them and began his next plan.
These youths wore luxurious equipment. Furthermore, they brought half-divine artifacts and a piece of the Poison Dragon's flesh out. They used magic arrays to conceal their voices when they communicated, but Lei Luo still heard some of the content.
Everything they displayed sent out a signal. They didn't understand the power of a Demigod, but they had a half-divine ship and life-preserving treasures from their family. Thus, even if they brought the Poison Dragon's flesh out, nothing would happen to them. They might even gain something.
That piece of flesh was taken from the Poison Dragon that was killed two years ago. It was definitely the first thing that would attract hate from other Poison Dragons.
If there really was a Demigod-leveled Poison Dragon in the depths of the northernmost ocean domain, it probably wouldn't be able to endure it and would attack.
Meanwhile, Demigod artifacts were tools, but they required a suitable person to wield them in order to unleash their full power. However, the young aristocrats in front of them were unable to activate them. The only thing they could rely on was the life-preserving secret treasure that their family had given them. However, the strongest among them was only from a half-Demigod family. How could a secret treasure withstand a Demigod's attack?
Just the thought of killing these noble youths for revenge and obtaining a half-divine artifact at the same time was very tempting.
"Mother, are you really deep in the sea?"
"Or is this a conspiracy of the abyss?"
Lei Luo felt somewhat uncertain. Everything he knew now came from the humans. Although it was hard to tell if it was true or false, he did not dare to bet.
With an almost imperceptible sigh, he followed the footsteps of the noble youths.
As they walked on the island, two pairs of eyes watched them from midair.
"I concealed his aura back then. Why did he come back? He even made himself look like a merman. I'll teach him a lesson later."
"How are the preparations on your side? Those things in the abyss are not easy to deal with."
"Don't worry. No matter how difficult it is to send him away, there will still be humans to sacrifice. I will definitely seize back my elder brother's body, no matter the price!"
"Is that little fellow my elder brother's child?"
"Yes, it was complicated back then. I could only protect his mother and enter the abyss. On the other hand, he survived the Golden Dragon's attack and came back to life. He has grown quite well these two years. He probably stayed here to train."
"That works too. However, a human child dares to walk around with my brother's flesh. Granduncle, help me cover it up. I'll kill those humans and snatch the half-divine artifact."
One of the two creatures in the air was the one who had protected Lei Luo back then.
The other was the younger brother of Lei Luo's father.
After a short discussion, a sea breeze blew around the island, forming a semicircle around it.
A 300-meter long Poison Dragon appeared in midair. Three bone spikes grew out of its head, which was shaped like an inverted triangle. Meanwhile, its ice-cold dragon eyes reflected the human noble youths on the island.
Without any communication, the Poison Dragon waved its claw and took away the Demigod ship in the sea. At the same time, it delivered a slap towards the island.
Before the noble youths could react, they felt the wind blow above their heads.
Lei Luo sensed it before they did, but the attack covered half the island and could not be avoided. He subconsciously looked up at the sky.
Suddenly, an ordinary guard who had been following behind broke the armor on his body. Then, an aura that belonged to a Legendary powerhouse was released as he rushed into the air, preparing to withstand the attack.
The Poison Dragon in midair smiled disdainfully. "Did you think I didn't notice you?"
Boom!
With a loud bang, the Legendary powerhouse who rushed up was directly blown up, leaving behind a bloody mist in the air.
The dragon claw paused slightly before continuing its attack.
The timepiece in the arms of the youth from the Wumon family shattered, but it was only used on the surrounding youths. It had no effect on the dragon claws in the air. The teleportation array appeared under their feet and quickly dissipated.
Am I going to die?
Lei Luo's expression changed. Just as he was about to remove his Camouflage Spell and reveal his identity, another change occurred in the air.
The magic array of the Mage Union suddenly appeared under the dragon claw and barely resisted it.
In mid-air, the flag representing the Assassin Alliance flashed past. Meanwhile, the flag of the Mercenary Guild was stuck in mid-air.
A burly man with a huge sword on his back appeared out of nowhere and laughed. "Good!"
"It wasn't in vain that we've set up this trap for so many years. We've finally drawn all of the surviving members of the Poison Dragon bloodline out. We allowed all of you to hide two years ago, but you don't have such good luck this time. Prepare to die."
Experts from both the Mage Union and Assassin Alliance appeared.
Based on their aura fluctuations, they were all Demigods!
Lei Luo glanced at them from the corner of his eyes. Three Demigods from each of the three great factions had appeared. It looked like they were planning to attack the Poison Dragon.
It was still unclear if there were any experts hiding in the dark.
Just as Lei Luo was wondering if he should release his memories now, an old voice suddenly appeared in his mind. "You are really daring to come back at this time. When the battle starts later, I will send you out. Don't look around and listen to me later. There will be a lot of trouble this time."
"Damn it, human God-leveled powerhouses have appeared. Brat, it's up to you. Leave if you can."
"That Poison Dragon is your father's younger brother, Lei Jie. You should call him Uncle. However, don't acknowledge him now. Take advantage of the chaos and escape. Don't head deep into the sea."
After the voice reminded Lei Luo, it disappeared.
In midair, Lei Jie narrowed his eyes as his heart turned heavy. He had also received the news.
God-leveled powerhouses had joined the battle. He couldn't stay here for too long. Next up, they would fight in the abyss.
Meanwhile, the human Demigods did not discuss too much and naturally formed an encirclement.
The battle between the Demigods was about to begin!
