Sea God Island, Sea Horse Sacred Pillar City.
Deep in the Sacred Pillar Hall, Sea Horse Douluo is sitting cross-legged, with light blue Soul Power light surging all over his body. His complexion is slightly better than in the past few days, but the abnormal gray color between his eyebrows is still there. Looming. The strange poison from Deep Sea Demon Whale Emperor, even with the suppression of Sea God's Power and the assistance of Sea God Island's many heavenly materials and earthly treasures, it was extremely slow to remove. At this moment, he had recovered at most 60% of his strength.
He was not the only one in the palace. Sea Star Douluo stood not far away, the thin tentacles around him slowly swinging unconsciously, showing his inner restlessness. He had just finished a round of patrolling the surrounding sea areas, and the news he brought back made the already depressing atmosphere even more gloomy.
"That guy Sea Spear... hasn't the message come back yet?" Sea Star Douluo finally couldn't help but speak, with a hint of unnoticeable anxiety in his voice, "How long has it been? Even if tracking takes time, with his strength and speed, there should be a letter."
Sea Horse Douluo slowly opened his eyes, and the blue light in his eyes flashed away, but it was filled with deep fatigue. "No. The last Soul Power information transmitted back stayed in the deep sea desert area near the southwest called 'Whale Burial Sea Abyss', and then disappeared completely."
"Whale Burial Sea Abyss..." Sea Star Douluo's tentacles swung faster, "That place is famous for chaotic sea currents and Soul Power turbulent areas. Normally Sea Soul Beast would not want to It's easy to get involved. How far can he chase that Soul Beast? Even if Soul Beast is lucky enough to survive Lightning Tribulation, how much strength can it show? Sea Spear is level ninety-six!"
"Don't forget," Sea Horse Douluo said solemnly, with a solemn voice, "That thing probably swallowed the 'poison' Origin. Its poison almost killed even Xiao Bai, and even me..."
He didn't say anything further, but the meaning was self-evident. An unknown Soul Beast possesses a poison that can poison Super Douluo and Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and has just experienced the strange state of Lightning Tribulation. Its danger cannot be measured by common sense.
Sea Star Douluo was silent for a moment and whispered, "But the order Sea Spear received is to first try to 'contact' and 'solicit'. After all, if its toxicity can be controlled, only Xiao Bai and you can have hope of completely eradicating the poison..."
"This is what I am most worried about." Sea Horse Douluo interrupted Sea Star Douluo, frowning, "With Sea Spear's character, facing a Soul Beast that may pose a huge threat to Sea God Island, will he strictly abide by the order of 'focusing on win-win'? Especially when the other party may resist, or even show that weird poison..."
Sea Star Douluo's expression also changed. They have worked together for many years and know Sea Spear Douluo very well. That one is the most aggressive and decisive among the current Seven Sacred Pillars. His belief in Sea God is so firm that it is almost paranoid, and he has a ruthless attitude towards all Soul Beast who threaten Sea God Island.
"Perhaps...Lord Sea God will protect him and allow him to restrain..." Sea Star Douluo's voice lacked confidence.
"I hope so." Sea Horse Douluo looked at the deep sea water outside the Sacred Pillar Hall, with a deeper look of worry in his eyes, "But what I'm more worried about is, if Sea Spear... really fell there."
There was a dead silence in the hall. They knew very well what the death of a ninety-sixth-level Sacred Pillar Douluo meant to Sea God Island. It would be a huge loss that had not happened in hundreds of years and was enough to shake the majesty and foundation of Sea God Island.
At this moment, the two Douluos changed their expressions almost at the same time and looked outside the hall. A calm and slightly anxious Soul Power wave quickly approached.
He is a Soul Douluo who is stationed at the Sea God Island center and is responsible for the collection and transmission of intelligence.
"Two adults!" Soul Douluo knelt on one knee outside the hall, and his voice came through Soul Power, with undisguised panic, "Urgent information!"
"Come in and talk." Sea Horse Douluo's voice regained its dignity.
Soul Douluo walked in quickly, with sweat on his forehead. "To the southwest, in the edge area of 'Whale Burial Sea Abyss', one of our peripheral observation points detected... a short but extremely violent burst of energy, suspected to be... a confrontation at the Super Douluo level! Then, Master Sea Spear's Soul Power... completely dissipated and could not be sensed!"
Although they had a premonition, when the exact message came, Sea Horse Douluo and Sea Star Douluo still felt a chill rising from their backs.
Sea Spear's Soul Power... completely dissipated.
In Soul Master World, unless you take the initiative to hide or enter some Jedi, this "complete dissipation" almost only means one thing - death.
"What are the specific characteristics of the energy burst? Are there any other findings?" Sea Horse Douluo's voice had a hint of hoarseness that he was not even aware of.
"The burst lasted very short time, but the energy level was extremely high, and... it seemed to be mixed with an extremely strong aura of death and withering, and... a faint aftershock of thunder. The observation point did not dare to get close, and only dared to record it from a distance. In addition..." Soul Douluo hesitated, "Before the energy explosion, another powerful Soul Power wave seemed to appear briefly, with the Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan's unique pressure, but it quickly disappeared."
"Deep Sea Demon Whale..." Sea Star Douluo took a breath, "Is there any fish that has slipped through the net? And is it a powerful existence that can intervene in the Super Douluo battle?"
Sea Horse Douluo's face was so gloomy that it could drip with water. He waved his hand and asked Soul Douluo to step back.
The only sound left in the hall was the heavy breathing of the two people.
"Sea Spear He..." Sea Star Douluo's voice was dry.
"I'm afraid the odds are against us." Sea Horse Douluo closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed the churning energy, blood and toxins. "The mysterious Soul Beast is more dangerous than we imagined, and... is likely to be in collusion with the remnants of Deep Sea Demon Whale. The brief appearance of Deep Sea Demon Whale's coercion may be a bait, or it may be a connection."
"Then let's..." Sea Star Douluo looked at Sea Horse Douluo, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes, "Should we immediately unite our troops and kill Whale Burial Sea Abyss? To avenge Sea Spear, kill that beast and the remaining Demon Whale in one fell swoop!"
"Revenge?" Sea Horse Douluo opened his eyes, his eyes filled with deep exhaustion and coldness of reason. "What kind of revenge? What state are you and I in now? My residual poison has not been cleared away, and my strength is less than 60%. Although you are fine, can you and I work together to get some revenge under the siege of that weird poison and the possible Demon Whale strong ones? Don't forget, Sea Spear is already there!"
Sea Star Douluo opened his mouth, but could not refute. He asked himself that his strength was slightly inferior to Sea Spear. If Sea Spear really fell, if he went alone, would it be any different from dying?
"Moreover," Sea Horse Douluo's voice became even deeper, "Do you think our biggest enemies now are only that Soul Beast and the sporadic Demon Whale remnants?"
Sea Star Douluo was stunned.
"Don't forget, Deep Sea Demon Whale Emperor is still alive!" Sea Horse Douluo's voice was chilling. "Although she is being chased like a lost dog by Hailong and the other two Sacred Pillar, she is a Six-Hundred-Thousand-Year-level existence after all. Even if she is seriously injured and dying, a counterattack before death is enough to make any Sacred Pillar is filled with hatred. Hailong They have not been able to take her down completely, but they are led by her nose in circles in the deep sea. If we all come out again, who will guard the Sea God Island headquarters? If that Demon Whale Empress comes back, or joins with that Soul Beast..."
Sea Star Douluo shuddered and didn't dare to think about it again.
"Then... should we just forget it?" Sea Star Douluo said unwillingly.
"Of course not." A sharp light flashed in Sea Horse Douluo's eyes, "But we need to think about it in the long term. Sea God Island cannot afford to lose another Sacred Pillar. The top priority is to stabilize the situation and wait."
"Wait?"
"Waiting for Hailong and the others to come back. Waiting for the new Sea Ghost Luo Kes comes out of seclusion. Just wait... I will completely remove this damn poison." Sea Horse Douluo said slowly, tapping his fingers on the armrest of the seat unconsciously, "In addition, send more manpower, no, send the most elite stealth Soul Master and Sea Soul Beast, closely monitor all changes in 'Whale Burial Sea Abyss' and its surrounding sea areas. But remember, only monitor, not contact, or explore. I want to know what is happening there and what is hidden there."
"The news of Sea Spear's death..." Sea Star Douluo hesitated.
"Temporary blockade." Sea Horse Douluo said decisively, "Only for you and me, and...Hailong to know. To the outside world, just say that Sea Spear Douluo is chasing the enemy deep into dangerous areas, has temporarily lost contact, and is searching. We must not cause panic, especially now."
He paused, with a hint of helplessness and deep worry in his voice. "Before everyone comes back, before Luo Kes can truly assume the responsibility of Sacred Pillar, before we recover enough strength... we can only wait and defend."
Sea Star Douluo was silent, and finally nodded heavily. He understood Sea Horse Douluo's considerations. This was the safest, but also the most helpless choice at the moment.
Inside the Sacred Pillar Hall, it fell into silence again, with only the silent surging of the ocean current. But under this silence, there was an undercurrent of worry and a deep fear of the unknown powerful enemy.
In the deep sea in the southwest, the desolate land named Whale Burial Sea Abyss has become a terrifying mystery that has swallowed up Sea God Island and Sacred Pillar. And Sea God Island has been in the ocean for countless years. The behemoth, after losing two guardians Xiao Bai and Sea Ghost, Haima being poisoned, and Sea Spear suspected of falling, for the first time showed its fatigue and caution.
They need time, they need strength, and they also need... a variable that can break the deadlock.
And this variable may lie in the new Sea Ghost--Luo Kes who is receiving the so-called "Sea God favor" treatment in the "secret realm".
However, can this Titled Douluo, who was promoted exceptionally and is only level 92, really become Sea God Island Sacred Pillar as they expected?
