Can you imagine how exaggerated the strength of the Blood Corpse Pirates is?
Under the leadership of the Five Emperors, various pirate groups are the true rulers of the North Sea!
"Co with , let’s capture those little fat sheep together, seize the ruins, and let Brother Bao pay to ransom people and land."
"It’s the Treasure Pavilion," a pirate subordinate corrected.
"Gwa-ha-ha-ha~"
The Sea Giant Basil laughed, picked up the Tyrant’s Hamr, and left with big strides.
***********
Fifty thousand ters under the sea, the ruins of an ancient city of the Demon Race.
With the help of thousands of drones, chanical spiders, scanners, and various high-tech equipnt, the exploration team finally discovered the entrance to the underground palace in the northwest direction of the ancient city.
This place was concealed by a collapsed complex of buildings.
Powerful engineering robots moved one giant stone after another, and after efficiently clearing the area, a deep hole was revealed.
It resembled a sinkhole, with its exposed part already several tens of ters wide.
Several archaeologists speculated that the diater of this underground palace entrance exceeded a thousand ters.
Even after twenty-seven thousand years, the edge of the pit was still covered with pitch-black scorch marks.
Clearly, this entrance once suffered unimaginable damage and was forcibly enlarged countless tis.
The Emperor-level Giant Dragon blasted open a passage large enough for its body to pass through, charging into the underground palace.
Just as everyone was preparing to explore the underground palace.
An unexpected incident occurred.
Ding Xuezhu received an ergency communication from the surface, and after listening to it, her expression suddenly changed, hurriedly stopping the exploration team.
"Pirates attacked the coastal city, the governnt forces retreated, the city has already fallen. Our base camp at the hotel was also attacked, only one person managed to escape!" She inford everyone of the real situation.
This urgent ssage from the surface was sent by the survivor from the hotel.
After listening, everyone was shocked and dismayed.
Although everyone knew the Seven Kingdoms of the North Sea were chaotic, they didn’t expect to actually encounter such a grand scene of pirates ’stocking up’.
"So what should we do now? We can’t return to the city, should we halt the exploration?" soone quickly asked.
"We’re underwater, no need to worry. After the pirates finish looting the city, they’ll leave on their own, we’re safe here," soone else remained optimistic, "The disaster won’t affect us here, my suggestion is to continue exploring, and we’ll return to the surface after the pirates leave."
"Our combat team is strong, and Kulus is by our side, don’t worry."
Seeing this, the S-level expert from the Adventurer Association, King-level Sheep-headed Kulus, also stood out and solemnly assured everyone:
"Ladies and gentlen, don’t panic. With around, you’re all safe. The pirates most likely don’t know of our existence, so explore with peace of mind. If any enemies co, I alone can hold them back!"
The declaration from such a powerhouse, filled with confidence and montum, imdiately dispersed much of the anxiety and fear in everyone’s hearts.
After all, this was a King-level Puppet Master, an incredibly strong being!
Nevertheless, Ding Xuezhu still wasn’t reassured.
She frowned, contemplated for two seconds, then made a decision, firmly speaking against the majority:
"This project is of utmost importance, and we can’t afford any mishaps. Every risk, no matter how small, must be taken seriously. Everyone, listen to my command, return to the submarine imdiately, evacuate this location, and take refuge at the Human Federation embassy at Naga Race territory. We’ll resu our exploration once the storm passes."
As the leader, she held the highest decision-making authority.
After the command was issued, everyone fell silent.
Lu Xun sighed, looking back at the entrance to the underground palace with reluctance.
Inside, there might be the remains of an Emperor-level Giant Dragon... plus the corpses of 32 Saint King-level Demon Generals.
If they left now, who knew when they’d get to return.
His gaze steady, he made a decision in his heart.
He’d leave with the team first, and if the project fell apart, so be it.
He’d secretly co back on his own and explore the underground palace!
Having evolved into an "Ultimate Life Form," he was no longer a conventional carbon-based cellular lifeform.
Especially after integrating with the Undead Race in the Ultimate Form, he didn’t need to breathe or require oxygen to survive.
His incredibly strong physique, along with the Netherworld Walk, Shadow Transformation, Undying Body, and Healing Magic...
Diving fifty thousand ters beneath the sea without any equipnt wasn’t difficult for him at all.
Withdrawal it is, since the leadership has spoken, what else can you do?
Besides, this ti withdrawal is indeed necessary, as the pirates of the North Sea are quite brutal, there’s no need to take risks. The ruins aren’t going anywhere anyway.
Lu Xun plans to sneak back to the ancient city on his own, late at night after they reach the embassy, and enter the underground palace himself.
"No need to bring non-portable equipnt, leave them here, travel light, and quickly return to the submarine," Ding Xuezhu instructed.
"Yes!"
"Understood!"
The exploration team mbers were highly compliant.
Soon, everyone had their belongings packed up and began to orderly evacuate.
Rumble——
All of a sudden, a drastic change occurred!
A torpedo ca flying from above, hitting the deep-sea submarine of the exploration team.
Hundreds of people watched as the large submarine exploded into a mass of orange-red fire.
In an instant, expressions of shock, despair, and panic appeared in everyone’s eyes.
Before the exploration team could react, a fleet of silver-painted submarines erged from all directions.
Their surfaces bore the spray-painted scarlet skeletal hand wielding a sword, appearing like flying shuttles above the "sea" overhead.
The hatch of one of the flying shuttles opened, and a deep blue Sea Giant, six ters tall, leapt out, diving headfirst into the space without seawater created by the Sea-Splitting Device.
