The process of healing Little Moyuan was laborious, but it finally stabilized the swaying fire of life. Kraken himself was almost exhausted, and most of Sea Spear's energy in Soul Bone had been consumed. Although Micro-Cycle of Life and Death's frame was stable, the inside was like a hollowed-out mine that urgently needed to be filled.
He did not immediately immerse himself in deep recovery. He needed to confirm with his own eyes how much power was hidden in the "Moyuan Nest" in front of him, the last refuge mentioned by Tieshan.
"Tieshan."
"Master." The beast's response was calm and loyal, with a clear voice transmission of Soul Power.
"Let me take a look at the people you are protecting." Kraken's perception swept across the area deep in the lair that was obscured by hot spring steam and rugged rocks. "If you have spare energy, you can sort it out a little."
Tieshan One eye flashed with light, the huge head turned towards the depths, and sent out a low but clear calling soul wave.
Water wave disturbance, from far to near.
The first one to appear was still the three Demon Whale who were always on high alert. They were scarred, and their auras were at the seventy or eighty thousand year level. Their cold eyes swept over Kraken. Their fear was not gone, but they came as ordered.
Immediately afterwards, more figures slowly emerged from the shadows of caves, rock crevices, and hot springs.
One head, two heads, three heads... five heads... ten heads...
When the last slightly timid figure swam out from behind the largest hot spring, the number of Deep Sea Demon Whale gathered in the relatively open water in the center of the nest had reached twenty-three.
This amount made Kraken's ice blue eyes condense slightly.
Twenty-three heads Deep Sea Demon Whale!
Even in the Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan's heyday, this was a force that should not be underestimated. What's more, their ability to survive to this day and experience Sea God Island's several encirclements and suppressions is a testament to their strength.
However, when Kraken's perception scanned each Demon Whale in detail, the initial shock was quickly replaced by a deeper heaviness.
Huge, but covered with bruises; numerous in number, but dying.
These twenty-three heads Demon Whale can be roughly divided into several categories according to their status and breath:
Core veterans (3 heads): The cultivation level is between Qiwan and 80,000 years old. The old wounds and new scars on the body are intertwined. Soul Power is solid but with lingering fatigue and sadness. They are Tieshan's most trusted assistant is also the strongest fighting force in the tribe except Tieshan, but his condition is far from perfect. They can already convey complex thoughts through relatively clear mental fluctuations, but they are not yet able to speak human words.
Severely injured backbones (9 heads): These Demon Whale are similar in size or slightly smaller than the core veterans, and their cultivation levels are mostly between 50,000 and Qiwan years. But their situation is even worse: some bodies have horrific penetrating wounds or lacerations, and the edges are still flashing with a Purification glimmer that is difficult to dispel; some Their limbs were mutilated, and their postures were weird when swimming; some of their breaths were extremely unstable, and Soul Power fluctuated violently like tides. It was obvious that Origin had been seriously injured. They were the backbone of the group, but they were also the most seriously injured group. They could only emit vague mental fluctuations expressing basic emotions and intentions, as well as low whale calls.
The younger generation (8 heads): The body size is obviously smaller. Soul Power has fluctuated around 50,000 years. Deep Sea Demon Whale has just left the infancy and has just entered the growth stage. Their injuries are relatively light, mostly concussion injuries caused by energy shocks or not too deep lacerations, but their eyes are full of not yet The fear, confusion, and deep dependence on Tieshan and several veterans have dissipated. Among them are two young Demon Whales with the purest breath and weak mental fluctuations, who are hidden in the middle by other companions. Their communication methods are more inclined to instinctive complex transmission and simple whale calls.
Baby whales (3 heads): The smallest in size, Soul Power fluctuates only about 10,000 years, or even weaker. They are nestled tightly next to a few young Demon Whale who are in better condition or have seriously injured bones, with confused eyes. Frightened, with obvious burn marks on their bodies from being scratched by the aftermath of powerful energy. They are the real future of the race Core Flame, but they are also the most fragile. They can almost only emit whimpers and weak mental ripples expressing basic needs.
The minimum cultivation level of the twenty-three heads Demon Whale is 10,000 years, and the maximum is only 80,000 years. None of them are intact, and all are injured. The seriously injured ones are dying, the slightly injured ones Soul Power are unstable, and the young ones are still frightened. They gathered here, like a group of giant whales that were lucky enough to be stranded on the rocks after being devastated by the storm, panting and licking their wounds, with deep worries about the unknown future in their eyes, and their last trust in their protector Tieshan.
This is Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan, the last remnant? There are more than expected, but the overall misery and decadence are even more shocking.
Tieshan's huge one-eye glanced at his people, his gaze as heavy as a mountain. He spoke in a low voice, and his voice was clearly transmitted through Soul Power: "Master... the twenty-three here are our clan's... only remaining bloodline. Tieshan... is incompetent and failed to protect them more thoroughly."
Twenty-three... more than half of them were seriously injured, their babies were weak, and their young were weak.
Kraken was silent for a moment, and Soul Power fluctuations came out again. There was not much emotion, but there was an undoubted Penetration power. "There are still twenty-three bloodlines left, you have tried your best."
These words made Tieshan's huge body tremble slightly, and a complicated light flashed in his one eye.
"Everyone come closer." Kraken ordered.
Under the spiritual signal of Tieshan, twenty-three Demon Whale, with uneasiness, awe, curiosity and a faint expectation, slowly gathered towards the position of Kraken. The three young whales were carefully protected by the elders in the middle.
Kraken looked inside attentively. Within Soul Bone, there was still about 20% of the remaining Sea Spear energy. He first turned his attention to the nine seriously injured backbone Demon Whale. Origin was mostly injured.
Driven by thoughts, the Senbai Scorpion Tail dim light flows, and several extremely thin but extremely pure energy flows separate from the tip of the tail - that is the pure essence of life and Soul Power Origin that have been transformed by Soul Bone and eliminated Sea God's will.
These energy flows are like spiritual snakes of light, accurately penetrating into the deepest part of the nine-headed serious injury Demon Whale's wound or the core of Soul Power's depression.
"Woo--"
Low, sobs filled with relief from pain came one after another.
A Demon Whale whose flanks were continuously eroded by the power of Purification, the stubborn blue shimmer at the wound obviously dimmed, and the severe pain of the erosion began to lessen for the first time.
Demon Whale, who was injured by Origin and Soul Power went berserk with unstable breath, felt a gentle but tough force injected into it, which temporarily restrained the berserk Soul Power like a dam, allowing its almost scattered consciousness to regroup.
On the other hand, Demon Whale had a mutilated limb and was constantly losing vitality. A faint itching sensation came from the incomplete part. The trend of losing vitality was temporarily stopped by this pure life energy...
Although their fundamental injuries could not be cured immediately, the high-quality energy derived from Super Douluo, like the most timely antidote and cardiac tonic, greatly alleviated their pain, stabilized the deterioration trend, and even provided a glimmer of possibility for subsequent natural recovery.
Nine seriously injured Demon Whale lowered their huge heads one after another and sent out deep whale cries of gratitude to Kraken. The strong "gratitude!" and "relief!" mental fluctuations were clearly conveyed. The alertness and alienation in their eyes were replaced by strong gratitude and a trace of rekindled hope.
Then, Kraken turned his attention to the eight young Demon Whale and three calf whales that were about 50,000 years old. Their problems were more about excessive fear, Soul Power instability, trauma, and the shaking of their growth foundation.
This time, he mobilized his own emerald energy containing the pure breath of life (derived from the ancient tree and the feedback after digesting Sea Spear), turning it into a gentler and more subtle energy rain, which evenly sprinkled on them.
The fear in the eyes of the young Demon Whale quickly subsided, the Soul Power fluctuations became smooth and solid, and the wounds on their bodies began to scab and heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. "Warmth!", " Peace!" The mental fluctuations emanating from them calmed their frightened hearts a lot, and even vaguely touched the bottleneck of 50,000 years to Liuwan years, conveying the glimmer of excitement of "Growth!"
The three young whales absorbed this gentle rain of energy in a daze. The burn marks on their bodies faded away, and their frightened eyes became peaceful. They emitted subtle, dependent calls, conveying the instinctive emotions of "comfortable..." and "not afraid anymore...".
Finally, there are the three core veterans, and Tieshan himself. They are relatively lightly injured, but they are mentally exhausted and shoulder the heaviest protective responsibility.
Kraken pondered for a moment, and the light at the tip of Scorpion Tail flashed again, and four extremely weak gray-green energy threads that were mixed with pure Soul Power and a trace of the same withering aura were separated into Tieshan and the three veterans' bodies respectively.
This energy is not a treatment, but a "soothing" that will help them slightly recover their exhausted minds and straighten out their Soul Power operations that have become slightly stagnant due to long-term high pressure.
Tieshan's whole body was shocked, and his one eye erupted with an unprecedented light, and the previous fatigue seemed to be dispelled. The three veterans also trembled slightly, and when they looked at Kraken, their eyes completely changed from "revering the benefactor" to "identifying with Master", conveying clear and firm spiritual thoughts of "belonging!" and "loyalty!"
After doing all this, Kraken's aura was visibly wilting. The Sea Spear energy in Soul Bone was almost exhausted, and the power he mobilized also made his empty state worse. But he held on, and his ice-blue eyes swept across the twenty-three heads in front of him. Demon Whale's condition had improved significantly, and a faint fire was rekindled in his eyes.
"That's all I can do." His Soul Power waves were filled with deep exhaustion, but they were clearly transmitted into the consciousness of every Demon Whale, "Those who are seriously injured need to rest for a long time, the young should practice hard to solidify their foundation, and the young... need to be cared for even more. Sea Spear's energy has been exhausted. The road to the future must be walked by you, but also... we must work together."
Twenty-three Demon Whale, including Tieshan, all lowered their huge heads.
"Master is pointing to what Tieshan is aiming for, even if you die without regrets!" Tieshan's deep and clear voice (Soul Power's voice transmission) sounded first, like muffled thunder on the seabed, with unquestionable determination.
Immediately afterwards, Three Elder Ministers's huge head hung deeply, approaching the bottom of the sea, and at the same time let out a long and deep whale cry, which contained a firm will to follow. The majestic mental fluctuations clearly conveyed the idea of "Follow!"
The nine-headed skeleton Demon Whale struggled to raise its head, letting out a deep hissing that was mixed with pain but extremely stubborn. The weak but determined mental fluctuations intertwined into a torrent of intentions of "Follow us to the death!"
The eight young 50,000-year-old Demon Whale made a slightly immature but passionate Qingyue whale call, and its mental fluctuations were full of the desire and determination to "Follow! Fight!". The screams of "Mo" and "Yi" being protected in the middle contained a unique spiritual vibrato unique to the Yinyi bloodline.
Even the three ignorant young whales sensed the tragedy and excitement that permeated the entire group, and they let out subtle but no longer frightened, clinging whimpering, instinctively conveying the weak fluctuation of "together...".
The twenty-three beings expressed the same will in different ways - clear human speech, whale calls, strong and weak spiritual thoughts, and the most instinctive sobs - and merged into a silent but soul-shaking torrent in this Concealment lair.
Kraken nodded slightly, said no more, slowly sank into the area with the strongest energy of the hot spring, and began to make every effort to restore his extremely deficient state.
He knew that today's action not only provided some practical help to these remaining tribesmen, but also rekindled the name "Hope" Core Flame in the darkness of this desperate deep sea.
The twenty-three disabled Demon Whale are his responsibility and his burden, but at the same time... they are also his most reliable foundation in this dangerous deep sea.
