Heratia: "A Utopia? How Interesting..."

We just wanted to catch a Dreadfish, what did we do to deserve this?

"Why don't we dive into the sea and rescue a fish from the Aegir? Maybe we can complete the mission right away."

The Utopian warrior suddenly had a bold idea and was eager to jump into the sea.

But she was immediately stopped by the male warrior next to her. "Hey, I knew there was a reason why the lord sent me here. Let's not even talk about whether we can do it or not. Think about what the lord said before he gave us the mission."

"Try to avoid direct conflict with the Aegir, especially the Deep Sea Hunter, because we might not be able to win."

"Are they really that powerful? I don't believe it. I feel incredibly strong right now. I can take down seven or eight Steam Knights with my bare hands. The Lord's blessing isn't meant to make us cower in fear!"

The two soldiers walked along the beach, appearing relaxed on the surface, but their eyes were fixed on the turbulent sea.

The sea seems different today than before.

The two sensed something was wrong.

The situation had been calm for a moment, but things can change in an instant.

As the sun gradually rose to its zenith over the sea, just as the clouds in the sky dispersed, the sea suddenly became turbulent.

It bubbled up like it was boiling.

Something's up!

The two Abundance Warrior exchanged a glance, then instantly dodged behind a huge rock.

The moment they hid behind the rocks, they saw a large amount of scarlet blood boiling on the sea, turning the entire beach blood red.

A rather slender Dreadfish poked its head out from the blood-red water and then staggered onto the beach.

"This thing is Dreadfish? It doesn't seem to pose much of a threat."

The female warrior couldn't help but complain.

"Wait, this fish seems to be injured. Its shell looks like it's been cut off by something, and it's crawling onto the shore in a rather panicked manner, as if it's hiding from something." Another male soldier gave a very apt analysis.

Just as the two of them had predicted.

After the Dreadfish had crawled dozens of meters along the beach, four or five burly Aegir suddenly emerged from the turbulent sea.

They surrounded the injured Dreadfish with lightning speed.

Their clothes, soaked by seawater, did not hinder their mobility, as if they had already experienced countless extremely dangerous battles.

The Aegir, with their imposing physiques and high-definition armor, wielded all sorts of strange and enormous cold weapons.

The two people spying from the shadows could tell from the appearance of these weapons that these steel behemoths must be quite heavy.

The Abundance Warrior: "Are these people the Deep Sea Hunter? They do look quite strong."

The Abundance warrior said, "The Aegir have surrounded this Dreadfish. We need to figure out a way to complete our mission."

The female warrior was slightly taken aback. "But didn't the lord say that we should avoid conflict with the Aegir as much as possible?"

"So this is the purpose of my existence. We'll find a few big leaves to cover our faces, and at the same time break off the tree-like horns on our heads, then no one will know our true identities, right?"

"Little brother, you're really smart! How come I didn't think of that..."

"If you could have imagined it, I wouldn't have been sent here."

Just as the two were working together, a glass dome suddenly appeared on the sea surface; it was a small submarine.

A woman dressed in gorgeous clothes slowly emerged from beneath the submarine, holding a scepter in her hand.

"Magistrate Heratia, we have captured this intelligent, Dreadfish. What should we do with it?"

The Abundance Warrior learned from the man who appeared to be a squad leader that the woman in the golden outfit was named Hratya.

Moreover, he appears to hold a high-ranking position, seemingly the leader of the Deep Sea Hunter present.

Chapter 290 Hratya: Utopia? Interesting...

"Well done... The intelligent Sea Creatures was actually able to sacrifice the life of his companion in order to escape, or is this what your species imagines as self-sacrifice?"

Hratya stared with great interest at Sea Creatures, whose body was smaller than a cat.

Unfortunately, this kind of creature is destined to be unlovable; even if it were, it couldn't escape being used as an experimental subject.

As a ruler and researcher, she had long been keeping a close eye on the changes within the Sea Creatures ethnic group, and even studied special varieties.

The purpose of doing this is to gain sufficient influence in Sargol.

But in her mind, the Sea Creatures race was nothing more than a bunch of mindless monsters.

Even if it evolves, so what? My Sargol's technology is unmatched!

"We can't let these people capture Sea Creatures, otherwise we won't be able to explain to the lord."

"Get ready to break off the horns on their heads. We'll see how things go and then we'll take action!"

After a moment's thought, the two decided to make an exception.

Anyway, these fish in the sea have no evidence, and they don't have any racial characteristics on their heads, so what can they find out?

"Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger!"

"The pagoda suppresses the river demon!"

So the two red phantoms found an opportunity and sped out from behind the giant rock. At the same time, they used the terrain advantage to roll from a high place and grab the Sea Creatures.

The sudden turn of events put the Aegir on high alert, especially since their target had fallen into the hands of others in an instant.

The speed was so fast that even seasoned Deep Sea Hunter couldn't react immediately.

Is this a speed achievable by a land-dwelling human?

"Are they land dwellers? Or fallen beings infected by the Sea Creatures?"

Without waiting for Hratya to give the order, the Deep Sea Hunter swung his massive steel weapon down at the two the moment he saw them appear.

Because it happened so fast, before the two warriors even landed, the Deep Sea Hunter had already predicted their landing point and swung his greatsword at them.

After several loud bangs, the scene the woman had imagined—the enemy being smashed into mincemeat—did not occur.

The two men in front of them withstood the physical impact of five heavy weapons with just one hand, and even the sand where they stood was left with a large crater.

"Completely unharmed"

Hratya looked slightly surprised; even she would be chopped into mincemeat under such an offensive.

Unexpectedly, these two land people in front of me were able to block it with their bare hands, although judging from their expressions, they probably had a hard time as well.

Who goes there?

"They're just robbers. If you have any issues, go talk to the Iberia law enforcement agencies!"

The Abundance Warrior exchanged glances, then slammed their feet into the ground, causing massive vines to suddenly sprout from the beach and separate the two groups.

"They're trying to run! Chase them!"

How could the great Sargol civilization suffer such humiliation?

She wasn't surprised that these two land dwellers possessed abilities comparable to those of the Deep Sea Hunter.

She had heard about the situation on land; indeed, a small group of people possessed strength comparable to Sargol.

It's not unacceptable that we ran into this small group of people today, but no matter how much we accept it, our goal is now in their hands.

Hratya wanted to take it, but how could a researcher like her possibly defeat an Abundance Warrior with three specializations?

They quickly got completely outmaneuvered by the two, tossing him around like a sandbag, making him run from one end of the beach to the other.

Even Sea Creatures was being tossed about in the air, felt a wave of dizziness.

It wasn't that the Abundance Warrior wanted to play around; rather, they were looking for an opportunity.

Intuition told the Abundance Warrior that these Deep Sea Hunter were extremely powerful, and if they tried to run away, the fish would definitely catch up.

If it becomes too conspicuous, it could easily attract the attention of Iberia authorities.

Moreover, if some unforeseen event forces a direct confrontation, the two Abundance Warrior might not be able to defeat the five battle-hardened Deep Sea Hunter in a short period of time.

Therefore, the hunters' stamina must be depleted beforehand. These fish cannot stay on land for long and will soon become physically weak due to their inability to adapt to the environment.

While it won't drop you directly from max level to level 1, you'll still be weakened by 10%.

Moreover, thanks to the difference in combat experience, Deep Sea Hunter may have a good way to deal with Sea Creatures, but they are somewhat at a disadvantage when dealing with humanoid creatures.

At least four or five Deep Sea Hunter failed to catch the two Abundance Warriors.

These two were incredibly fast. Realizing she had been tricked, Hratya immediately decided to capture a land dweller first.

First, seize the initiative on the battlefield!

Unfortunately, the Abundance Warrior specially trained by Master Huang did not give the woman this opportunity, taking advantage of her momentary lapse in concentration while obeying orders.

The soldiers planted their feet into the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust before disappearing without a trace, leaving no footprints on the sand.

They escaped.

Hratya felt a surge of resentment at being outmaneuvered. She gritted her teeth, and the scepter she held in her hand made a metallic scraping sound.

"Never mind... [Shrimp thread] loose matter; [Swelling] ZhuAnqUn:"

There's no need to get angry for people from the mainland.

But Hratya clearly didn't want to swallow this insult alone.

"Go find the King of Iberia and ask him for an explanation."

We finally obtained these precious experimental samples; if we lose them, all our previous efforts will have been in vain.

With only a handful of cats and kittens, finding the thieves on this vast land is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Furthermore, these two individuals are highly skilled and have likely been waiting on the beach for some time, but it can be largely ruled out that they already knew about the situation.

Because Hratya was sneaked out, no one except the few Deep Sea Hunter she brought along could have gotten advance notice.

Those two people just now were probably lucky.

"But why steal Sea Creatures? It can't be to eat it, can it?"

The Iberia have a long history of consuming Sea Creatures, and it has almost no side effects, but problems have arisen in recent years.

This was also the result of the Aegir' misdeeds, but that was not what Hratya was thinking about.

The lives and deaths of the land dwellers were none of her concern, but the stolen Sea Creatures was of great help to her research.

The two, running at lightning speed, quickly escaped the Deep Sea Hunter's hunting range. They breathed a sigh of relief once they reached their pre-designed base.

We must obey the lord's orders. After all, we still don't know how strong the Deep Sea Hunter really are. It would be a bit ridiculous if we were to be caught off guard and lose our way.

"Is this the little gadget that the lord wants?"

The female warrior teased Sea Creatures in the cage with a wooden stick, but received no response.

"Stop playing around, the physiological condition of this 'Dreadfish' isn't very optimistic."

Another Abundance Warrior placed the cage of the Dreadfish on the ground and carefully examined its wounds, realizing that its life was in grave danger.

"His abdomen and spine suffered blunt force trauma, with severe internal bleeding... and his shoulder was also cut in several places."

If a normal organism suffered such severe trauma, it would probably be dead by now, but fortunately it is Sea Creatures, so it can hold on for a while longer.

As long as the central nervous system is not damaged, one can recover from any injury, no matter how severe, if timely medical attention is provided.

Sea Creatures (Sargol): "Land dweller... food... reward..."

Female warrior. "Is this guy talking? But I don't think I can understand him."

Male soldier. "It speaks Sargol. By the way, what language did you choose for your exam? But that's probably why it's being hunted."

The two understood each other perfectly, and searched their hiding place for many cans of food, carefully feeding them to Sea Creatures.

The male soldier curiously touched the exoskeleton of the Dreadfish and said in a very gentle tone ( in Sargol):

"Don't worry, we won't hurt you. I will protect you until we meet the lord."

Sea Creatures silent, only focusing on eating.

So for the next period of time, the two stayed in the cave to take care of the injured Sea Creatures until it fully recovered.

Meanwhile, Hratya, having reached land, met the King of Iberia and learned about the country of Utopia from him.

"I'm sure the people who clashed with you were assassins sent by Utopia."

Where is Utopia now?
