Unlike the Black Serpent Clan's den, the Fighting Dolphin Clan's ho was centered around a very large network of overgrown kelp found near the edge of the Southwestern Sea's
continental slope.
These overgrown kelps growing on the sea floor could extend all the way to the water surface, where the Fighting Dolphin generally slumber.
After all, Fighting Dolphins could not stay underwater for long periods like the Black Serpents. They did not have the sa ability to absorb oxygen through their skin. As such, they had to surface periodically to inhale oxygen from the air.
However, despite being shallow-water mammals, the Fighting Dolphin Clan actually chose the deepest area of the shallow sea floor as its permanent habitat.
After a quick tour around the outer periters of the overgrown kelp region, Vaan quickly understood why.
The sustenance of the overgrown kelp was just one of the reasons for the Fighting Dolphin Clan's choice of habitat. The steep drop of the continental slope on the edge of the kelp region was where the Fighting Dolphins practiced their deep diving to improve their lung capacity.
That said, deep diving was just the entry-level practice of the Fighting Dolphin Clan's Turtle Breath.
The main purpose of practicing Turtle Breath was to allow the Fighting Dolphins to reach and stay on the abyssal plain at the bottom of the continental slope, where they began to train and forge their powerful physiques.
The abyssal plain contained a type of special mineral called Abyssal Stones, which were denser and heavier than most common tals, even so rarer tals.
Vaan could see that these Abyssal Stones were not naturally ford but created by the impure mana and energy spewing out of the seemingly bottomless trench beyond the abyssal plain.
He didn't expect the outer edges of the Southwestern Sea would possess such concentrated
mana.
However, when he extended his sense further to the Outer Sea, he discovered the mana was even richer and boundless over there. The abundant existence of mana in the region seed to suggest the Outer Sea had a connection to Chaos or Gehenna.
Although Vaan was interested in looking deeper into it, he had to et with the Fighting Dolphin Clan first. Moreover, he could get information from it.
His arrival had long since attracted countless attention from the Fighting Dolphins. After all, no human had ever visited their core habitat.
As such, Vaan easily stood out.
However, since a senior mber of their clan brought Vaan here, the other Fighting Dolphins did not carelessly approach him. Instead, they silently observed from a distance and speculated the reason for his arrival themselves.
When they sensed his Conqueror's Aura, their curiosity beca respect and awe despite their shock and confusion.
"Your Excellency, may I ask why you have visited our humble clan today?" the Fighting Dolphin Clan Leader hurriedly approached with a careful attitude after Vaan turned his attention to his clan.
"If I want your clan's allegiance, will you submit?" Vaan cut straight to the point.
Andaman, who brought him to the clan, was imdiately dumbfounded. Vaan's first question almost made his heart jump out of his chest.
Did he just bring trouble to his clan?
While Andaman's mind was in turmoil, the Fighting Dolphin Clan Leader stared at Vaan more deeply and thoughtfully.
At the sa ti, Vaan also studied him.
Ding!
