Chapter 674: Dead Beast Invasion
The demigod of the West Sea came forward and finally finalized the matter of the West Sea joining the Deep Sea Alliance, and the atmosphere immediately eased.
"Old seahorse, why did you suddenly come to your senses and are willing to cooperate with humans?"
Octopusstar came up to the seahorse demigod and asked.
"Humph! I joined because of that person. If not for that, I would not be willing to cooperate with humans."
The demigod seahorse snorted coldly, not hiding his disdain for humans at all, while Xiao Mu, Bai Qi and others turned a deaf ear to him.
If Granny Fan hadn’t stepped forward, the semi-divine sea beasts in the South Sea, let alone the West Sea, would not have agreed to form a deep-sea alliance.
As the largest area in the world, sea beasts basically ignore other creatures, so Xiao Mu doesn't care.
"As expected, my mother-in-law is still awesome~"
After hearing this, Bai Qi admired Grandma Fan even more, and at the same time, he became more and more curious about her age.
These demigods have lived for at least three to four thousand years. Granny Fan is obviously older than them. At this age...
A true walking living fossil.
"But there is one more thing, and we need your help too."
The demigod seahorse's expression suddenly changed, and he said, "Since a few days ago, many sea beasts in our West Sea have undergone strange mutations, and this mutation is contagious, and it is almost impossible to resist it even if you are not a legendary creature."
"This kind of thing is not our specialty as sea beasts, so we want to seek help from humans."
Hearing the words of the demigod Kaiba, Bai Qi and Xiao Mu were both stunned, and saw speechlessness in each other's eyes.
They are clearly asking for a favor, yet they act as if they are waiting for a price. Should we say that these sea beasts in the West Sea are smart or stupid?
"Can you show me the mutated sea beast?"
Bai Qi walked up to the demigod Kaiba and asked.
Upon hearing this, the demigod Kaiba glanced at Bai Qi, and Octopus Star introduced him at the right time: "This is the director of the technical department of our Deep Sea Alliance, and also the beastmaster who inherits the bloodline of that adult."
After hearing what Octopus Star said, the demigod Kaiba's attitude suddenly changed, from ignoring to awe.
"Oh my god, what did grandma do to deserve such respect from these sea beasts?"
Seeing this, Bai Qi became more and more curious about Grandma Fan's past. He wanted to run back and ask her right away, but thinking of Grandma Fan's usual temper, he had to put it aside for the time being.
On the other side, after hearing Bai Qi's request, Sonic Pig had someone carry up a frozen corpse of a sea beast and put it in the middle of the hall.
"This is the mutated sea beast from the West Sea. Its body is clearly in a dead state, but it is still active and its combat power is even stronger than before."
Supersonic Dolphin explained: "This state is somewhat similar to that of undead creatures, but the most important thing is that this creature has no soul at all. It seems that it is only moving autonomously under the pull of the power in the body."
"So, we call this creature the dead beast."
After hearing what the Sonic Dolphin said, the sea beasts in the West Sea fell silent, but the sea beasts in the South Sea and Bai Qi and his party looked at each other strangely.
"Bai Qi, why does this dragon look like the world-destroying sea monster that day?"
Nicholas went up to the sea beast's corpse and took a look, then said.
Crunch.
(No need to look at it, it is the power of death.)
Alpha pressed his hand on the ice and pressed it lightly. The ice suddenly shattered, revealing the corpse of the sea beast inside.
Without the ice covering it, bursts of black smoke suddenly floated out of the dead beast and spread to the surroundings. At the same time, the legend on the West Sea's side changed his expression and wanted to freeze it again.
These dead beasts will continue to emit this black smoke until they completely dissolve, and those who are contaminated by the black smoke will be assimilated into dead beasts bit by bit. This is one of the reasons why Xihai took the initiative to propose an alliance.
However, before the Sonic Pig could make a move, the Dragon of Annihilation reappeared behind Alpha, and with a fierce breath, it absorbed all the black smoke, and the dead beast also completely melted like ice and snow.
"this……"
The Sonic Dolphin's eyes changed when he saw this, and the eyes of the three demigod sea beasts in the West Sea also changed when they looked at Alpha.
Although there were some differences, they still felt an aura from Alpha that was similar to that of a dead beast.
"You don't need to study it. These dead beasts have become like this because they have been corroded by the power of death."
Bai Qi raised his head and asked, "Can I ask if everything is okay over at the Death Ice Forest?"
"There is definitely no problem. Since then, we have frequently sent people to check on it, and the seal is still intact."
The Dark Sea Thunder Dragon shook his head, then looked at the Supersonic Dolphin and said, "But most of the Death Ice Forest is in the West Sea. I don't know about their side, but it should not be damaged."
Seals are always something that affect the entire body. If the West Sea is broken, there is no reason why they would not be affected.
Bai Qi understood what he said, looked at the sea beasts in the West Sea, and said, "In this case, the source is very clear."
"As far as I know, there should be some people wearing black armor who came with the tribe to look for you in the West Sea, right?"
When Supersonic Pig heard this, his eyes sparkled and he said, "You mean, the changes in our West Sea were caused by those guys?"
Bai Qi nodded. So far, there are only a few people who master the power of death, and the only one who can and will use the power of death to cause trouble in this way is the Round Table of Death.
Now that the possibility of the death clone breaking through the seal has been ruled out, the source is self-evident.
With the clues provided by Bai Qi, Super Sonic Pig also connected all the previous events together. No wonder the dead beasts only moved around in their West Sea. It turned out that it was because of this group of guys.
They were still considering whether to form an alliance with the tribe, but the result was that they actually let a wolf into the house.
"I just saw your pet absorb the power of death. Has the Federation found a solution?"
The demigod Kaiba asked, glancing at Alpha who was not affected at all.
"I'm sorry, my pet is an isolated case, and we haven't found a way to deal with the power of death."
Bai Qi shook his head and said, "But the power of death in this sea beast is not pure. It is worth studying."
Judging from Alpha's feedback, this smoke is somewhat similar to the one he encountered three times with the death tentacles in the elves' ancestral land, but the quality is obviously much worse.
In other words, it is very similar to the one on the Death Knight, except that one is integrated into the metal, and the other is integrated into the armor.
It would have been fine if there were no samples before, but now the West Sea is full of these dead beasts, so we have a good opportunity to study them.
"Then hurry up and study it. Otherwise, once this spreads, it will not benefit anyone."
There was a trace of anxiety on the face of the demigod Kaiba. As the oldest existence in the West Sea, he still cared a lot about the survival of the West Sea.
But after seeing the expression of the demigod Kaiba, Bai Qi showed an evil smile on his face.
"I'm sorry, but researching this requires a lot of resources, and I don't have them on hand, so I can't start for now."
"Besides, your compensation to Xihai has not yet arrived, so..."
"What compensation?"
The demigod seahorse was a little confused. After taking the contract from Bai Qi, he couldn't help but shrink his pupils. After a long silence, he handed the contract to the explosive killer whale who was still recovering.
"We at Xihai are responsible for all the resources for the research. Minister Bai, just make a list. As for the compensation..."
"Exploding Killer Whale, you will follow Minister Bai from now on. Come back when you have paid your debts..."
The explosive killer whale was a little confused when he heard this. He took the contract and was stunned when he looked at it.
"...The compensation resources for the losers will be doubled and paid immediately. If there is arrears, interest will be paid every second..."
There are a lot of rules and regulations in the contract, which the Exploding Killer Whale had not noticed before, but the most terrifying thing is the interest.
From the time he was defeated until now, the interest he had to pay was already one-tenth of the total amount.
"You...human, are you kidding me?!"
"It's not my fault, you just didn't see it~"
The face of the Explosive Killer Whale turned extremely ugly, and he wished he could tear the contract into pieces on the spot. However, after seeing the Five Elders and Nicholas who were eyeing him covetously, he quietly put the contract away.
The situation is stronger than people. It's just that the resources are everywhere in the sea. At most, we won't have a rest for the next few hundred years.
Besides, there is also the Ice-footed Sea Lice King. He was the one who caused this compensation. How can we let him go?
West Sea joined, the Five Elder Stars and the three demigods of West Sea left together to study the ideological issues of the two seas, while legendary sea beasts such as the Thunder Dragon of the Nether Sea and the Supersonic Dolphin went to study specific things.
"Bai Qi, I heard that you met the death clone in Leishan. How was it?"
After everyone left, Xiao Mu asked.
"It was very difficult. If it weren't for Wang Chuanqi using the Star Ring to suppress them, coupled with the peculiarities of the elves' ancestral land, they would have been barely suppressed. But in the end, they escaped."
Bai Qi thought for a moment and told Xiao Mu his opinion.
Xiao Mu showed an expression of astonishment when he heard this, and said: " Sure enough , only the power from the void can suppress death."
"Power from the void?"
Bai Qi couldn't help but think of the big demon, and Xiao Mu went on to explain: "We have no way of finding out the source of death, but from the information we have recently obtained, it is very likely that death came to our world from the void."
"So, only the power that also comes from outside the void can be effective against death."
Xiao Mu looked at Bai Qi and said, "I remember that many of your pets have this kind of power, right? It seems that it is your destiny to meet death."
"It's better to accept this fate."
Bai Qi's face was full of disgust when he heard this. Every encounter with the death clone was extremely thrilling. Although he was able to escape danger in the end, Bai Qi could not guarantee that he would have such good luck every time.
If there is no one to rescue them once, the whole village can have a feast together.
"But we still need to study this dead beast carefully, otherwise we will be too passive if we encounter it in the future."
Bai Qi stroked his chin, and the scene when Sima Jing left that day flashed through his mind.
It certainly couldn't be a coincidence that they encountered the Death Round Table wherever they went. It was obvious that these people were planning something grand, so they probably had to prepare early.
