540: Chapter 540 Getting Lost

"Then why is there no Human Race flesh and blood?" the Sea-Zhang Tribe Great Man asked curiously.

"No Human Race flesh and blood... what do you all think? Hehehe, in my opinion, it must have been devoured by the Great King and the other leaders!" the Spearfish Clan woman said with a charming laugh.

"Oh, that's right..." After hearing the Spearfish Clan woman's analysis, the Sea Race members present seemed to understand, nodding in agreement, some even drooling all over the floor...

With their intelligence, they assumed that under the slaughter of the Sea Race powerhouses, a large number of Human Race members must have died. The absence of Human Race flesh and blood in the sea indicated that they had been completely devoured!

This was actually easy to understand. The Sea Race had been craving Human Race flesh and blood for hundreds of years; for them, devouring Human Race flesh and blood was one of the main ways to improve their cultivation. So, given the chance to slaughter the Human Race, they certainly wouldn't let a single one go!

At this thought, these remaining Sea Race powerhouses all became restless. They imagined others feasting on meat and drinking blood, while they were stuck gnawing on the flesh of Mortal-tier sea beasts, which was utterly tasteless...

The Sea-Zhang Tribe Great Man suddenly stood up and roared, "No, if the boss is having a good time eating up there, I can't fall behind. Otherwise, he'll pull even further ahead, and that would be very bad!"

"That makes sense! Brother Zhang, just tell us what to do!" The other Sea Race leaders chimed in.

"Hmph, in for a penny, in for a pound. We'll go up there and snatch some Human Race to eat too!" the Sea-Zhang Tribe Great Man roared.

"Go!"

"Quickly! If we're slow, there'll be nothing left!"

A large group of Sea Race leaders, surrounding the Sea-Zhang Tribe Great Man, noisily rushed out...

"Wait!!!" the Spearfish Clan woman shrieked.

Everyone paused, their steps halting. The Sea-Zhang Tribe Great Man turned back, frowning, "What is it?!"

"What is it? Have you forgotten the Great King's order?! We are to guard the nest. If we all leave, who will protect this place?! If the Great King's treasures are stolen, and the Great King blames us, hmph, you all know the consequences, right?" the woman said sharply.

"Ah? What should we do then?" The leaders looked at each other, completely bewildered.

The Sea-Zhang Tribe Great Man thought for a moment and said, "Aren't you still here? Besides, who doesn't know how formidable the Great King is around here? Which fool would dare to steal the Great King's treasures?"

"That's right! The Great King's prestige is widespread; the surrounding Sea Race members have long submitted to him. Who would dare to steal the treasures here?"

"Exactly, and the other powerful Sea Race members have all gone to attack strong Human Race nations like Snow Eagle Country, Flying Lion Country, and War Bear Country. The remaining ones are simply not worth worrying about!"

"That's right, that's right. Don't you think about it? The treasures here are buried deep under the sea. Even if someone really came to steal them, could they take them away? They couldn't dig them all out in ten thousand years!"

"Hahahahaha..."

"Let's go, let's go, time to eat Human Race..."

The Sea Race leaders spoke one after another, leaving the Spearfish Clan woman speechless. So, everyone quickly rushed out of the Shell Great Hall and headed towards the surface of the sea...

"They actually want to eat the Human Race?" Qian Xiaosen was also speechless. The intelligence of this group of Sea Race leaders was indeed concerning, no wonder Nine Infants left them to guard the old nest, probably fearing they would cause trouble...

He immediately sent a message to Long Yuan, who replied, "Alright!"

The Sea-Zhang Tribe Great Man, leading hundreds of Sea Race leaders and tens of thousands of subordinates, majestically headed towards the Nanyue River under the guidance of a Sea Loach Clan guide. Along the way, countless Sea Race members heard the news and followed, making the procession grow larger and larger...

After about a day of travel, this force had become like a giant siphon, attracting Sea Race members from thousands of kilometers around. Of course, these Sea Race members all had higher cultivation levels, as the lower-ranked ones would not dare to join. If they did, they would first have to worry about being eaten by other high-ranked Sea Race members!

So, although their numbers were large, they were not as massive as last time, only about one-tenth. But even with only one-tenth, their combat power was absolutely not to be underestimated. If they were truly allowed to land and attack Great Ming without the Future City battle team to intercept them, they could completely sweep across the entire territory of Great Ming!

Just as the Sea-Zhang Tribe Great Man and the other leaders were feeling ambitious, a hint of doubt appeared on the Sea Loach Clan guide's face, but he dared not speak out, fearing he would be swallowed whole by the Sea-Zhang Tribe Great Man...

The group advanced for another three days. The Sea-Zhang Tribe Great Man finally felt something was amiss and asked the Sea Loach Clan guide, "Why haven't we arrived yet?! Didn't the Great King say last time that it would take three days to get there? Four days have passed, why are we still in the sea?"

"Boss, I don't know either!" the Sea Loach Clan guide said with a mournful face. He had long known that something bad was happening, so he had no choice but to tell the truth.

"What? You don't know?! You can't even lead the way properly, what kind of guide are you?!" the Sea-Zhang Tribe Great Man roared in fury.

"No... Boss, you don't know, we Sea Loach Clan members mainly rely on smelling Earth Qi and Blood Qi to navigate. But now that I'm in the seawater, I can only rely on smelling Blood Qi. Originally, with the strong Blood Qi in that area of seawater, there wouldn't have been a problem, but now that Blood Qi seems to have disappeared, and I don't know where to go..."

"The Blood Qi disappeared?! How is that possible? Didn't you say that place had turned into a sea of blood? How could a sea of blood disappear in just a few days?!"

"This one doesn't know either... Now I can only take it one step at a time, or try to determine the direction through information from other companions!" the Sea Loach Clan member said in terror.

"You?! So incompetent, what use are you?!!!" The Sea-Zhang Tribe Great Man roared, about to tear him apart, but was stopped by someone next to him. After all, losing this Sea Loach Clan member would make finding the sea of blood even more troublesome; they could only try to make the best of a bad situation...

However, what the Sea Loach Clan member said earlier made sense. It was indeed difficult for him alone to find the precise direction in the vast ocean, especially when lost. So, the Sea Race members immediately ordered others to ask the surrounding Sea Race members for the direction to Great Ming. But the feedback they received shocked them: there were no other Sea Race members around at all; this entire sea area was left with only their large army swimming about...

"How is that possible? I don't believe there's not a single Sea Race member around!" the Great Man roared.

"Boss, we will continue searching!" The messenger Sea Race member, scared, hurriedly responded, then scrambled away in a panic...

The leaders looked at each other, finally feeling that something was wrong. Although they were Sea Race, getting lost in the boundless ocean was extremely terrifying. Many Sea Race members, once they swam in the wrong direction, might forever be separated from their tribe, becoming lonely wanderers, and their ultimate fate was imaginable!

"What should we do? Will we not be able to find Great Ming?"

"No way? We won't even be able to find our way back, will we?"

"How is that possible?!"

"But now I can't even tell which way is up and which way is down. Where is the way we came from..."

"What? You feel that too?"

"Not good!"
