Seeing the young man slowly opening his eyes and the hesitant pressure disappearing, Shi Huangzi asked.
"There is indeed the aura of the sea beast, and there are more than one. It is very powerful."
The young man said to several people with a somewhat solemn expression, then he jumped out of Shi Huangzi's shoulders, maintained his mini form and waved his dragon eagle wings, and slowly flew out of the cabin, and everyone followed him.
"thump!"
The young man who flew out of the ship plunged into the water, splashing some water, and a sound was heard. Everyone immediately understood that the so-called sea beasts certainly entered from the bottom of the water. No wonder there was no trace of them on land.
"Act with rigor, make every effort, and act as you please. The three of you will lead the troops and guard everywhere, and be fully prepared. The others will follow me into the water."
Shi Huangzi quickly gave the order, and then led Li Fei'er and the four of them. They converted their external breath into internal breath and dived into the lake, following the little man.
Four warriors at the third level of the Martial Emperor Realm and one warrior at the Martial Ancestor Realm relied on their powerful spiritual consciousness to lock onto the figure of the young man, and in a short time they had already dived nearly a thousand meters deep.
The eyes have begun to be unable to see. The strong water pressure forced everyone to release martial energy light groups outside their bodies. To resist this pressure, their spiritual consciousness was also wide open to see.
There are many gullies under the water, and there are subtle currents swaying the underground water plants. This is obviously a trend of living water channels, which makes several people excited. This can reasonably explain why the Forging Hall is silent.
"stop!"
The soul of the young man who had been searching ahead stopped everyone from swimming.
A dark, deep cave entrance appeared in front of everyone's eyes. It was a hundred meters high and about fifty meters wide. It could easily accommodate the passage of a submerged swamp boat.
Although the aura was very weak, Shi Huangzi could still feel Tan Tan's aura of sea beasts from the scratches and collision marks on the cave wall, which was somewhat similar to the aura of the shark man they encountered on Xuanxin Island.
"Back!"
Shi Huangzi waved his hand, signaling everyone to return to the battleship on the lake for discussion. After all, they were at an absolute disadvantage compared to the sea beasts underwater.
Although there is a high possibility that the sea beast has already figured it out, everything is possible. The lingering suspicion that Shi Ba was able to escape with his arms broken cannot be eliminated, and there are still people above them.
Under such uncertain circumstances, careful discussion is needed.
"Wow... Wow..."
Six figures jumped out of the lake, appeared on the battleship, and stepped into the cabin. Li Xing and the others quickly responded without any abnormalities.
"What do you think?"
Shi Huangzi sat at the top and asked after everyone sat down.
"It is certain that the sea beast must have entered through the passage at the bottom of the lake and attacked the entire forging hall. As for how the existence of the forging hall was exposed, I dare not speculate on this now."
The first person to speak was Li Fei'er, who had the strongest communication with the young man.
"I agree. The location of the forging hall and the performance of the bandit brothers who traveled along the way make it a very hidden, easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack place. It has the right time, place and people, except for the biggest flaw at the bottom of the lake.
Judging from the feedback from the soldiers that there was no damage, this is very unreasonable, and there is a high possibility that there is a mole in Juntian.
I’m sorry for that.”
The next person to speak was Jin Ge. The words of the captain of the Lihuo Army touched the hearts of several people. Although he did not say it directly, it further heightened Shi Ba's suspicion.
"Previously, when we acquired this valley, the two people with the highest strength in our bandit group were only at the first level of the Martial Emperor, and they did not develop divine consciousness until they reached the third level of the Martial Emperor.
Coupled with the fact that we have always been peaceful and peaceful, and the special nature of Xuanhu Swamp, we have overlooked why the lake water in the valley is so clear unlike the outside.
After reaching the third level of the Martial Emperor Realm, did we return to the valley to conduct a thorough survey, which led to the forging hall being easily breached by the enemy? This is our dereliction of duty."
With a sad expression, Shi Yi placed the biggest responsibility for the destruction of the Forging Hall on the two of them.
"Tianjun, this is our dereliction of duty. Although you don't say it out loud, we all know in our hearts that Shi Ba is the biggest suspect now, so I want to send a team of people back to secretly monitor Shi Ba's performance to see if it is the assimilation of sea beasts.
Warrior.
After all, we still don’t know how sea beasts can assimilate human warriors in strange ways. If Shi Ba is really a warrior who has assimilated to sea beasts, then our home base of Blood Formation Hall is in danger."
Shi Xin's face was as dark as water, and he expressed his biggest worry.
The biggest threat to Juntian now is not the sea beasts in the Xuanhu Swamp that destroyed the forging hall, but the potential for the collapse of the Juntian system that everyone has worked so hard to construct due to Shi Ba, who is suspected of assimilating.
Shi Xin's view of nip in the bud was deeply shared by Shi Huangzi. If this was really the case, they would be in great danger.
If they cannot control this danger firmly within a certain range as soon as possible and kill everyone, then the consequences of the damage caused by the assimilation of sea beasts will be very serious, and may even directly affect Tianjijun's influence on Juntian.
direct attention.
With the world's irreconcilable stance between sea beasts and humans, not only would Juntian collapse, but Shi Huangzi's true identity would definitely be dug out, leaving Liu Tianzun in the Blue Lion Empire to watch with a smile as he was slaughtered by the Tiger Roaring Dynasty.
This is a very terrifying consequence. It is already on the edge of the cliff and is imminent.
Although before the fleet set off, he appointed Shipan to take charge of Danghu Mountain and lead Lihuotang's combat department to exterminate the rebel forces that were ready to move inside Danghu Mountain.
However, they have personally experienced the strength of the sea beast and its assimilation. The appearance of Hua Rong has shown that the sea beast assimilation is by no means alone in Red Tiger's country.
However, the strange method of sea beast assimilation cannot guarantee whether Shi Ba, who is under serious suspicion, has assimilated the warriors inside Danghu Mountain, or even threatened Shi Pan's life.
"Brother Xin, Brother Yi, I'm sorry."
Shi Huangzi stood up, with the determination of a strong man cutting off his wrists appearing on his face.
"Ten guards obey orders!"
Shi Huangzi shouted and came out. After entering the Xuanhu Swamp, the ten old men who were given the only remembered shadow killing skills by the young man's soul began to hide around Shi Huangzi silently as if they were shadows.
, so that no one can be found.
This is because the little man's soul is connected, giving them the aura of a soul puppet. Within a hundred feet of it and Shi Huangzi, the ten elders can echo the power of the little man's soul, thus using the soul aura to cover up their own figures.
Although this move is very powerful, at least before Wu Zongzong, it was hard to detect, but the feeling of being controlled is not pleasant after all.
Shi Huangzi gave up the idea of practicing, and promised his ten most personal guards to dissolve this soul-puppet relationship after reaching the Martial Master Realm.
This can also be regarded as the last layer of means formed by the young man who paid a huge price to protect Shi Huangzi. Ten ghost-like shadows are always around, allowing him to receive the safest protection on the road of growth.
Listening to Shi Huangzi's call, ten figures hiding in the darkness suddenly appeared, half-kneeling in response to Shi Huangzi.
"The Heavenly Lord and the Ten Guards are here!"
"From Li Liu to Li Shi, you and Shi Yi will lead the 250 members of the bandit group and quickly return to Danghu Mountain to imprison Shi Ba. The prison order will not be lifted until we return.
At the same time, investigate Shipan and the operations department to see if there are any signs or suspicions that the internal personnel on Danghu have been assimilated by sea beasts, and inform Shipan of the situation here and our conjectures.
Inform Jia Fang and Ning Tian and let them know my order. It is up to them to act on the specific matters based on the facts.
The entire Danghu Mountain insiders and all Juntian insiders conduct self-examinations to clear up suspicions. If any abnormal behavior is found, they will be dealt with secretly.
The development of Juntian is not easy. If there are sea beast assimilation people, many of our personnel in Juntian will face a bloody thunder blow, so you must strictly implement and control it."
Shi Huangzi gave the order, Shi Yi, Li Liu, the seven masters of the third level of the King of Martial Arts, and the most elite members of the bandit group in the third level of the King of Martial Arts, quickly left the valley on a warship and executed Shi He left according to Huangzi's order.
The best option originally was to let one of the three Black Fire lieutenants follow Shi Yi to carry out the mission, leaving behind the members of the Tyrant Group who had gone through countless blood training in the Xuanhu Swamp.
This prevents their military strength in Xuanwu Swamp from being reduced too sharply, and makes the strength of the decapitation special forces team still even stronger.
However, Li Xing and Third Lieutenant Black Fire have not yet been completely captured and integrated into Juntian's system, and Shi Huangzi does not want to take the risk.
"Tianjun, what should we do here?"
Jin Ge frowned. Although he knew the existence of the ten elders, such a strange appearance still frightened him. And Shi Huangzi's order was not the general order directed at them on the Xuanhu Swamp.
Danghu Mountain is the location of the Blood Formation Hall, one of the cores of Juntian. The departure of Wu Lao, Shi Yi and 250 members of the Bandit Group means that the third lieutenant Black Fire is still not one of his own, and he feels a little bit Lost.
"Jin Ge, I know you are a little disappointed. I have also seen your efforts. The three lieutenant commanders have already regarded themselves as half Juntian people, and the officers and soldiers of the third lieutenant Black Fire have also recognized the existence of the Tyrant Bandit Group.
However, some concepts are deeply ingrained and we cannot act too hastily before they are truly realized."
Shi Huangzi comforted Jin Ge, then thought for a moment and gave the order.
"Kong left the warship in the valley, and 250 members of the Tyrant Bandits were divided into the third lieutenants of Black Fire to act as guides. Under the leadership of the third lieutenant, centered on the mountain where the valley is located, they spread around to look for clues.
All people encountered must be interrogated, especially those with the same aura, black clothes and ghost faces, who must be arrested and searched to determine their identity. If there is resistance, kill them on the spot. If found, call them with a signal.
Wulao, Shi Xin, Jin Ge, Fei'er, and Xiao Nan, we entered the lake cave, tracked and blocked the cave entrance, completely eliminated the flaw, and interrogated and killed sea beasts on the spot when we encountered them.
I want to turn the Black Tiger Swamp upside down and kill all the beasts and humans stained with my blood, Juntian, to comfort the spirits of my brothers in heaven."
