72: The sea monster tide has ended, and the sea dragon clan has a dead egg containing a trace of the dragon king's bloodline!

Ten seconds,

twenty seconds,

thirty seconds... Time passed minute by minute.

During this period,

flames, mudslides, plasma, acid rain... almost every available method was used.

Even Brother Su was forced to mobilize another ten thousand Zerg from the Zerg Hive, paying a heavy price, just to barely defend the Crystal Fortress.

Roar—

Another wave was completely wiped out, and a new round of Sea Beast Tide attacked again.

This was already the third wave.

If Brother Su had originally thought of eliminating the Sea Beasts and forcefully clearing the stage, now he was utterly exasperated by the relentless torment.

They were too damn troublesome!

The Sea Beasts' strength wasn't particularly high; it was probably to accommodate the average strength of the examinees, with most being Black Iron Rank.

There were few Bronze rank Sea Beasts.

As for Silver Rank,

only one appeared, and Brother Su keenly caught it the moment it showed up.

Without hesitation,

he dispatched the Queen of Blades to directly slaughter it completely!

[Countdown: 1 minute!]

The countdown refreshed again.

The simulated information in front of Brother Su also refreshed accordingly:

[The third wave of Sea Beasts is attacking. The Crystal Fortress is now covered in cracks, stained with blood, and on the verge of collapse!]

[Thanks to Pick's continuous repairs.]

[And the Creators working together to constantly mend the damaged fortress, barely managing to hold on until now.]

[Rumble...]

[Thunder rumbled, echoing for thousands of miles. Just as the third Sea Beast Tide was about to end, suddenly, a thunder dragon appeared, wreathed in lightning, summoning wind and rain!]

[Immensely vast! The Silver Rank pressure suddenly descended!]

[Spreading across the entire sea surface!]

"Silver Rank peak!"

Among the crowd, a Creator shrieked in surprise.

Brother Su also felt a surge of pressure.

Silver Rank peak,

was already not far from the Gold Rank tier!

Why would such a Sea Beast appear? Was this assessment really that difficult??

Brother Su felt deeply helpless.

Although Silver Rank peak was barely manageable for him,

as time passed,

it was hard to guarantee that Gold Rank Sea Beasts wouldn't appear. What would he do then?

Suddenly,

Brother Su was startled. He actually saw a figure on the turbulent sea, running frantically while holding a dark blue egg!

It was that fat guy, Ye Lanxin!

The fat guy also saw Brother Su's figure, raising his hands and waving vigorously, constantly shouting:

"Brother Su! Boss! Save me!!!!"

Don't let the fat guy's appearance fool you;

that cry for help was incredibly loud, momentarily even overpowering the roars of the Sea Beasts.

Brother Su's face darkened,

but no matter what, he couldn't just leave him be.

So he directed the Creators, and at the same time, the Queen of Blades entangled the Sea Dragon, finally, by the skin of his teeth, rescuing the fat guy.

As soon as he returned to land,

the fat guy collapsed on the ground as if exhausted, panting heavily.

Only the egg he was holding, he refused to let go of.

"Fatty, what's going on with you?"

Jiang Ruyue walked over aggressively, glaring at the fat guy. No wonder he was nowhere to be seen during the defense of the city earlier.

Turns out,

he ran off to the bottom of the sea!

The fat guy said with a mournful face: "Grandma, just let me catch my breath first."

Jiang Ruyue pouted but didn't say anything more. A few seconds passed, and the fat guy's breathing gradually evened out.

The first thing he said,

directly shocked everyone.

Even Brother Su's mind was temporarily in a daze.

"I dug up the Sea Dragon's ancestral grave."

The fat guy said with shifting eyes... Brother Su: ???

Jiang Ruyue: !!!

Everyone: ??!!!!

The fat guy's words stunned everyone.

Holy crap,

you're really a ruthless person, no, you're a wolf of destruction, aren't you?

There were so many Sea Beasts,

just defending was already difficult, yet you insisted on not taking the usual path, doing the exact opposite, actually going to dig up their ancestral grave???

Visibly,

as the fat guy spoke those words, the surrounding people cast glances of disdain.

The fat guy seemed to realize that this matter was a bit inappropriate,

he laughed awkwardly, his eyes darting around. Seeing Brother Su, his eyes lit up, and he handed the dragon egg to Brother Su without a word:

"Brother Su! This dragon egg is for you! You must protect me!"

After speaking,

regardless of whether Brother Su accepted it or not, he forcefully shoved it into Brother Su's arms. Brother Su's forehead was covered in black lines.

He looked at the fat guy in front of him, his mouth twitching,

with a very strong urge.

Or... should he just throw this fat guy out to feed the Sea Beasts?

...Boom—

Boom—

The Sea Dragon, whose ancestral grave had been dug up, was furious, roaring incessantly, appearing ready to charge in and fight everyone to the death.

But under the resistance of the Queen of Blades and the Ice and Snow Queen, two Silver Rank beings,

Brother Su still managed to stall for ten minutes.

The Sea Dragon gave a resentful look at the fat guy on the island. The fat guy guiltily lowered his head, roared, and led the Sea Beasts away, seething with indignation.

The World Tower's new notification also arrived:

[Congratulations, you have withstood the first Sea Beast Tide. Next wave countdown: 30 minutes!]

There's another wave?

The Creator who saw this message felt dizzy and fainted on the spot.

Even Brother Su's face wasn't looking good.

The first Sea Beast Tide was already so difficult. From the World Tower's message, it seemed like it would happen every half an hour.

Brother Su didn't think

their reserves could last that long without being breached.

More crucially,

that fat guy Ye Lanxin had dug up the Sea Dragon's ancestral grave. That guy definitely wouldn't let it go, and the next Sea Beast Tide would only be more terrifying.

It might even force Brother Su to reveal his trump cards!

Exposing his trump cards in public was something Brother Su would never choose to do unless absolutely necessary.

"Returning the dragon egg is also impossible. Not to mention whether they'd accept it, just the fact that their ancestral grave was dug up, I get the feeling the Sea Dragon just now wanted to perish with us..."

Brother Su looked coldly at Ye Lanxin: "Fatty, aren't you going to give an explanation?"

Including Jiang Ruyue, many Creators also glared fiercely at Ye Lanxin. No one was a soft touch, and they didn't want to needlessly bear the consequences of someone else's trouble.

Seeing this,

the fat guy also realized his impropriety, nervously licking his lips, somewhat awkwardly saying:

"You really can't blame me. I can only say their family's wealth was too abundant. I originally only wanted to take some ordinary resources, but I couldn't resist and just..."

"...dug up their ancestral grave?"

Jiang Ruyue stood with her hands on her hips, glaring coldly at the fat guy.

"Heh, hehe..." The fat guy rubbed his head, chuckled foolishly twice, and simply played dumb.

Seeing this,

Brother Su also felt helpless. He weighed the dragon egg in his hand, his expression unreadable, which, however, scared the fat guy into a state of trepidation.

"Disperse for now. I'll figure out a way for this matter."

Brother Su waved his hand, telling the Creators to disperse. Due to his current prestige, although many Creators were dissatisfied, they could only glare fiercely at Ye Lanxin,

then each went their separate ways.

Seizing the time to repair the two damaged defensive structures.

At the same time,

after everyone had dispersed, Ye Lanxin did a carp jump, sat up excitedly, and winked at Brother Su:

"Brother Su, how was it? I handled this well, didn't I?"

At this moment, Brother Su

was no longer angry as before. He examined the dragon egg in his hand, raised his head, and smiled slightly:

"Not bad, I really didn't misjudge you."

That's right,

Ye Lanxin going to steal the dragon egg was deliberately arranged by Brother Su.

As early as before the Sea Beasts arrived, Brother Su initiated a combat simulation and obtained a lot of information beyond just combat,

among which,

included that directly beneath each island, there was one, or even several, Sea Beast lairs,

and the Sea Beast group beneath them,

whose dominant species was the Sea Dragon Clan! And within it, a special dragon egg was hidden... For this reason,

Brother Su and the fat guy made an agreement.

Today, the fat guy would help him steal the dragon egg, and in the future, he would also help the fat guy accomplish something.

What specific matter was not stated.

Brother Su deliberated for a moment and agreed to the other party, that he would help as long as it didn't endanger his own life.

The deal was thus struck.

Not only that,

to conceal his true purpose and the location of the dragon egg, Brother Su, in conjunction with the fat guy, meticulously designed this grand performance.

This way,

the aggro was transferred from him to the fat guy. The fat guy himself didn't care about others' opinions, so it had no impact on him.

And Brother Su,

would not, because of this, create a rift with the many Creators, which would be more conducive to future command.

Brother Su smiled softly.

Then,

his consciousness swept over.

The data of this dragon egg appeared:

[Name: Dragon Egg (Contains a trace of Dragon King bloodline)]

[Status: Deceased]

[Description: The Sea Dragon Clan, after countless years of reproduction, once gave birth to a Gold Rank Sea Dragon. At the brink of death, it attempted Nirvana. Although it failed, it consequently produced a trace of Dragon King bloodline!]

[Has the potential to evolve into a Dragon King! (Legendary tier)]
