The seawater in the passage seemed to have solidified. The huge figure brought not only the oppression of volume, but also an almost pathos-like pressure and aura of decay originating from the depths of the soul. Demon Empress was suspended there, like a silver mountain that was about to collapse, with shocking scars all over her body, and ominous embers of divine power flickered in the deepest skull cracks. Her existence itself was the aftereffects of a tragic war.
The two 450,000-year-old guards, even though they have reached their limits, are still like the most loyal hunting dogs, guarding the Queen with scars, their single eyes burning with exhaustion but unquenchable ferocity and vigilance. Their gazes swept over Tieshan When and Little Moyuan, there was a hint of shock and complexity from the same race, but more of it was the darkness that was firmly locked deep in the passage, exuding an aura of decay and danger that made their scales stand on end - Kraken.
Hiding in the shadow of Demon Whale Empress's huge body is the silver-blue little Demon Whale. Its pure eyes are like unpolluted sea water, looking at everything curiously and timidly, the only fragile hope left in the darkness.
Demon Whale Empress's weak mental fluctuations, like ripples about to dissipate, first touched the familiar one-eyed kin. Then, her mental perception was like a gentle tide, with unbelievable shock, sorrow and joy, rushing behind Tieshan, In the darkness, there were pairs of eyes with nervousness, excitement, or numbness - there were more than a dozen figures with different shapes, but they all carried the aura of Deep Sea Demon Whale Bloodline. Most of them had weak auras, with traces of unrecovered serious injuries, and some of them seemed to have not yet developed their intelligence and only had ignorant instincts.
"... the clansmen... there are... so many..." Her thoughts fluctuated violently, filled with unspeakable shock. During the long and desperate run, she witnessed countless clan members being killed. She originally thought that she and the last two loyal guards around her were already Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan The last remnant of E. But here... there is actually a small ethnic group surviving here? Even though most of them are weak and disabled, the familiar bloodline resonance, like a spark in the darkness, instantly burned her soul, bringing ecstasy, but also deeper sadness and responsibility.
But this discovery brought more than just comfort. Her perception quickly expanded, and she also captured the light blue figure that was clinging to Rock. The blood aura in Little Moyuan's body was far purer and closer than that of other members of the same race around her, with a connection that originated from the deepest part of her life that made her soul throb.
Her thoughts rushed to Little Moyuan, filled with the lost and almost suffocating ecstasy, but followed by sharper pain and pity. "You... your foundation... forcibly improved... burned the potential... you suffered..." She clearly sensed the unstable power in Little Moyuan's body, with obvious traces of encouraging others, as well as the depth and vigilance that were inconsistent with her age. This discovery broke her heart, and also made her have deeper doubts and vigilance about the situation in this "survivor camp".
In the end, her weak but still sharp spiritual tentacles finally touched the deepest part of the passage, the largest and most dangerous shadow - Kraken. Is it an enemy? Is it a friend? Why is it with her people? Is this really a shelter, or another more delicate cage?
"Queen! It's you! It's really you!" Tieshan was so excited that Soul Power shook, and its huge head bowed deeply. It eagerly wanted to explain, "Your Majesty! It's Master! It was Master who protected us in danger, saved little Master, and continued the hope of the ethnic group!"
"Now is not the time to reminisce about the past."
Kraken's cold, calm, and unquestionable mental fluctuations, like the cold current of the deep sea, instantly covered all the agitated thoughts, and forcibly brought Demon Whale Empress and the guards, who were immersed in complex emotions and suspicions, back to the cold reality.
Immediately afterwards, the information he delivered froze all emotions instantly. "Your whereabouts seem to have been exposed."
"What?!" Demon Empress's spirit tightened suddenly, and the auras of the two guards suddenly became dangerous and sharp.
Kraken didn't say much, and directly projected a clear picture of perception through "Spider Web".
In the picture, it is not pointing to the entrance of the lair, but in a certain direction of the Demon Whale Emperor's path. An extremely obscure but extremely penetrating special soul power wave, like a beacon in the deep sea, flashes briefly and then disappears. The wave carries the aura of sanctity and order that is unique to Poseidon Island and is hated by the Demon Whale clan. It is weak, but extremely directional, and its soul power characteristics vaguely resonate with the most stubborn divine power in the wound on the Demon Emperor's head!
"When you passed through the area where sulfur was used to mask your breath, a certain preset divine power was triggered that corresponded to your wound." Kraken's voice did not fluctuate at all, revealing the cruel truth. "Although I immediately interfered and disguised, the moment it was activated, a signal may have been sent. They did not pursue it with all their strength before, maybe they were confirming their position, maybe... they were completing the encirclement."
Demon Empress's huge body trembled uncontrollably. It was not fear, but a kind of anger and coldness that went deep into the bone marrow after being fooled and calculated. It turned out that she thought she was exquisitely concealed, and every ounce of life she seized might have been anticipated or even induced by the other party?
The guards let out a low and suppressed roar. Although they were weak, the guardian's will instantly made them enter a battle-ready state, adjusting their body shapes to protect Demon Empress and little Demon Whale in the center.
Tieshan's one eye was full of anger and solemnity, and the other surviving Demon Whales also started to stir, and their uneasiness spread in the darkness.
"How far are they...?" Demon Empress forced himself to break free from the cold despair, and his mental fluctuations regrouped the emperor's determination, although it was still shaky.
"It is impossible to judge accurately. The signal is too far away and fleeting. But the edge of 'Spider Web' has begun to capture signs of abnormal, large-scale energy disturbances and is approaching." Kraken's voice calmly stated the worst possibility, "They may have locked the general area and are gathering, or... the encirclement is tightening."
He slowly revealed part of his huge body from the shadow in the deepest part of the passage. His giant ice-blue eyes opened in the darkness, calmly staring at the scarred Demon Whale Empress and the guards beside her who were like frightened birds.
"Demon Empress, right!" Kraken's mental fluctuations were steady, but with Qian Jun's heavy pressure, "Welcome to the last safe haven. Unfortunately, the storm comes faster than you and me."
"Now, choose. Should you wait here with doubts and vigilance for the hunter to come to you, or should you put aside your suspicions temporarily and tell me, you and your guards." His eyes swept over the two guards who were seriously injured but their fierceness was not diminished, as well as the nervous survivors Demon Whale, "How much combat power is left and how long the soul fire can burn."
"Because we don't have time to hesitate."
