Chapter 786: Information
“Clap, clap…”
As the whale’s cry sounded, waves rippled on the water surface. Bai Lin looked towards the sound, his gaze penetrating the water, and saw the giant shadow swimming. A bad premonition arose in his heart.
“Bishop, I have a feeling of being stared at by a strong individual…”
The only Priest Shadow standing beside him suddenly spoke. This Shadow was special, equivalent to a spiritual investigator who predicted fortune and avoided calamity, practically the same as a Tarot Card diviner.
“Can you sense what kind of monster is below?”
Hearing this, Bai Lin glanced at him, his expression somewhat grim. Without his subordinates needing to say it, he himself could feel that something was wrong.
“We need to investigate…”
Upon hearing this, the Priest Shadow raised his hand, a ball of light appeared in his palm, and he extended it forward. The sea waters soon revealed themselves, showing not only darkness but also…
A giant halo emitting blue light stood out conspicuously in the darkness, like the only lit candle on a candlelit dinner.
“Law, Law of Water. There is at least an existence at my level below.”
Bai Lin stared intently at the halo, pausing for a full five to six seconds before reacting. He then roared forward:
“Everyone stop and return, the situation is not right!”
Hearing this, the figures in the air gradually stopped. The two Priests looked at the almost shattered Energy Shield, then turned to Bai Lin with confusion:
“What’s wrong, Bishop?”
“You all wait here. I need to reach a signal area as soon as possible to contact the two adults heading to Luofu Island.”
After a moment of silence, Bai Lin glanced back and then sped away in the direction he came from. His years of experience as an undercover agent told him that if he stayed any longer, misfortune would befall him…
He decided to flee!
The two Priests stared at their superior’s retreating figure, dumbfounded. What was going on?
Meanwhile, inside the blue Energy Shield, the atmosphere also began to feel strange.
“As expected, it’s not a Fin Whale below…”
Gao Ya also felt the pressure from the deep sea, then turned to her colleague. She opened her mouth, suddenly recalling the scenes before boarding the ship, and finally asked with a complex expression:
“Qi Yi, tell me honestly, is she your superior in the Huainan District?”
“Yes, Xiao Ya. The Battle of 13 Cities I told you about was led by Elder Jiu. She saved countless people. She also single-handedly defended Aers and wrote ‘The Journey of Freedom’ with another person…”
As she spoke, Li Qi Yi’s eyes became brighter. She admired Elder Jiu not only for her monstrous strength but also for the youthful passion that was uniquely hers.
The fact that the other party could uphold such simple justice at less than twenty years old made her yearn, after all, she wasn’t much older herself.
“Just an Elder…”
Gao Ya was surprised to hear this, but she quickly realized something was wrong. The standards for Elders in Huainan Province were different…
“No, this is Huainan. The defender is that eccentric old man.”
Because that Cloudwalker had experienced that major upheaval, he didn’t want his subordinates to undertake dangerous missions, even deliberately raising the strength requirements.
Originally, according to the rules applicable nationwide, a Battle King Level strength was sufficient to undertake extremely difficult missions. Upon completion, one could become an Elder in other provinces. But here, even if Su Xiao Yu, who was at Demigod Level, hadn’t been for this Red Tide incident, she would have had to be at War God Level to have a chance to become an Elder.
And just how strong was this Elder Jiu to become an Elder…
Demigod?
No, Su Xiao Yu, as her immediate superior, was already a Demigod, so…
War God?
“Gulp—”
As she was thinking, there was a sudden “bang.” A giant shadow, only slightly smaller than the ice ship, breached the water surface. At the whale’s spout, there was a cyan Law halo. Then, without any warning, the massive body’s tail swung towards the Ancient God Sect members in mid-air.
“Boom!!”
The fish tail, carrying dense water elements, caused an impact of extreme speed. The Ancient God Sect members hadn’t even reacted before they were struck directly in the chest. The sound of “bang, bang!!” of flesh colliding echoed in mid-air.
Those whose strength was below Battle King Level, upon contact with the water-attribute External Qi, were directly crushed into Blood Mist by the contained force.
The only two Battle King Level individuals were knocked higher into the sky like sandbags, then fell like free-falling objects, landing with a “bang!” on the abandoned ship, their fate unknown…
The Orca Boss, after dealing with them, made a “mission complete, Commander” gesture to the ice ship with its pectoral fin, then dived back into the water, behaving like a well-behaved cub, without any transgression.
“Demigod Level…”
At this moment, Gao Ya finally snapped out of her daze. She had clearly felt three Orcas of similar size in the sea just now, dispatching three Demigod Level Beast Pets to pull the ship, what a grand gesture!
It was indeed not simple to send experts of this level for the Red Tide incident…
“Xiao Ya, we can go into this ship and see if there are any other clues inside. There are still three Ancient God Sect members on the deck.” Li Qi Yi tugged at the other’s sleeve.
“Yes, we should gather information first.”
The former nodded slightly and jumped into the fishing boat. With a slight chill in her eyes, she pointed her sword at the Shadow who was trying to escape, and a cold voice followed:
“If you move another step, I’ll kill you.”
The Shadow, as a “cultural soldier,” was pointed at by the water sword at his neck, and became completely frozen. He quickly raised his hands and shouted:
“Beautiful woman, I’m just a predictor trying to make a living. I haven’t done anything morally reprehensible. If you spare me, I can provide some useful information…”
“Xiao Ya, ask him about the situation of this ship, and let’s report the content to the department in Huainan.”
Li Qi Yi also jumped down. After taking a few steps on the deck, she came behind the other person. Her gaze swept over the Priest Shadow, and she couldn’t help but be a little suspicious. Could the other party be related to the Red Tide?
Listening to the other’s voice, the predictor quickly elaborated, fearing that the other would really deal with him:
“This ship belongs to one of our contacts. We are here for other contacts. It is said that upon the invitation of Zi Chuan, many warlords in the Nanyue region will come to join the fun. They will be bringing some Piglets…”
“Xiao Ya, just listen to him.”
As the other party continued to speak without end, Li Qi Yi had already walked towards the ship’s internal office, pushing open the “creaking” door.
Her gaze swept over everything, finally settling on the desk, where there was a telegram machine resembling an Alchemical Artifact, seemingly spitting out some white paper.
It seemed that these people had just used the machine to send a telegram?
“This is…”
Li Qi Yi’s gaze fell upon the worm-like characters on it, and her brow furrowed. In her university studies of foreign languages, she knew what they meant.
“The first batch of Piglets has been sent through the Yunbai Strait…”
…
In a certain special telegraph station in the northern regions, a “ding-ding” sound was heard. As if sensing movement, several people inside immediately started to bustle…
“Have those people’s whereabouts been investigated clearly?”
The leader was a man with a sharp mouth, monkey cheeks, and a dark face. His fierce appearance was inexplicably intimidating. On the back of his hand, there seemed to be a long black tattoo running down his entire arm.
“Big brother, we can’t find them. However, Scar-faced Man is said to be heading south.”
While continuously typing on the keyboard, his subordinate shook his head. Similarly wearing sunglasses, he had a fierce and evil look. His dyed yellow hair and ripped pants made him quite eye-catching.
“Then, let’s wait a bit longer.”
The sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked man pondered for a moment, tapping his fingers on the tabletop rhythmically…
