On a relatively flat rock in the deep sea trench, Demon Empress's huge body lay quietly. The most terrifying wounds on her body no longer bleed, and even grew a thin layer of new fleshy membrane with a faint blue light, covering the charred bones and damaged internal organs. Although the rise and fall of the chest was weak, it had become regular. Although the fluctuations of the soul were still fragile, they were no longer extinguished at any time like a candle in the wind.

She survived. But, it was just "alive".

Kraken was suspended next to the huge head of Demon Empress, its ice-blue giant eyes silently "watching" the broken body, which was beginning to regain its vitality, but was far from "powerful". It accurately assessed the recovery progress of each injury of Demon Empress, as well as the efficiency of energy absorption.

"Too slow..." Kraken's calm mental fluctuations rippled through the silent sea water, and only Tieshan, Mo Yuan, and her two loyal guards who were waiting nearby could receive it.

Tieshan's huge head hung slightly, and his eyes looking at Demon Empress were full of grief and anxiety. Mo Yuan remained silent as always, but the dark water surrounding him rippled slightly, showing his inner unrest.

Left Guard and Right Guard--the two guards of Deep Sea Demon Whale who have a cultivation level of 450,000 years. They survived the previous war and were later killed by Kraken bestowed energy to recover most of his injuries. At this moment, his eyes were also filled with tears, but with infinite awe and gratitude for Kraken. It was this mysterious and powerful existence in front of them that pulled their queen back from certain death.

"Benefactor... Your Majesty, she..." Left Guard's voice was choked with a subtle hint of sob, and he used the title "benefactor" full of gratitude and respect. Even Ferocious Beast, who has cultivated for 450,000 years, could not hide his sadness when faced with Demon Empress's tragic situation.

"She was seriously injured." Kraken's mental fluctuations continued to pass on, accurately analyzing the current situation, "Burning life and soul Origin, almost self-destruction. The energy I poured into it only filled the most basic deficit and stabilized the trend of collapse.

If you want to truly wake her up, restore her ability to move, and even regain her strength... the energy required is ten times, a hundred times, or even more than the energy just now. Moreover, it must be high-quality, easy-to-absorb life and Spiritual Origin energy."

He turned his body slightly and swept his icy blue eyes over his loyal subordinates. "The existing energy is just a drop in the bucket. We need more, a steady stream of 'fuel'."

Right Guard raised its ferocious head, with mental fluctuations filled with urgency and loyalty. "Benefactor, please give the order! We are willing to go through fire and water for the Queen! No matter what kind of existence needs to be hunted, if we extract its Origin, we will never back down!" As Ferocious Beast who are 450,000 years old, they have this confidence and strength.

"Stupid." Kraken's mental fluctuations showed no emotion, but Left Guard and Right Guard were instantly silenced, their hearts awe-inspiring. "Large-scale hunting, especially hunting of powerful enough beings, will definitely attract attention. Although Sea God Island was severely injured, Hailong is not dead. As long as the guy who escaped is still breathing, we can't go out to look for him arrogantly. Once his breath is leaked..."

Kraken's eyes seemed to be Penetration immersed in the sea water, and he looked in the direction of Sea God Island. "... The moment they are discovered, it is likely to be a disaster. It may be revealed within seconds. They may not be able to counterattack, but there may be some back-up force that we don't know."

"Then... what should we do?" Right Guard's voice was full of reluctance and confusion. Even with 450,000 years of cultivation, it was difficult to face this kind of dilemma that required Concealment to take action. "Are we just going to watch the Queen sleep like this and recover slowly? How long and what month will we have to wait?"

For a moment, silence fell in the trench. Although Tieshan and Mo Yuan are powerful, their huge bodies and Ferocious Beast's aura are equally difficult to hide. Hunting high-quality energy on a large scale and efficiently without alerting Sea God Island, who may be on high alert, seems to have become a dead end.

At this moment, Left Guard's huge eyes rolled, as if he thought of something, and his mental fluctuations carried a trace of uncertainty. "Benefactor... maybe... we don't have to be obsessed with the ocean?"

"Huh?" Kraken's mental fluctuation conveyed a hint of inquiry.

"It's very simple, land." Left Guard said in a deep voice, with a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes, "In the ocean, powerful existences are known to each other, and any large-scale hunting will definitely arouse alarm. But on land, the situation is very different. Land Soul Beast are huge in number, have many races, and are more widely distributed. As for the land humans Soul Master... they are fighting endlessly among themselves. Among them, the powerful individuals also contain pure Soul Power and life energy..."

It paused and lowered its voice. "... Moreover, according to the information I have occasionally come into contact with over the years, among the land humans Soul Master, Super Douluo above level 95 do not seem to be everywhere. As long as you act covertly enough and select lone targets, it may not cause too much trouble. The occasional disappearance of some powerful people may not be a strange thing in the human world."

"You want us brothers Transformation to sneak into the land?" Right Guard immediately heard the implication of Left Guard's words, and his huge eyes revealed a look of surprise, "Sneak into the human world to hunt?"

"Exactly." Left Guard nodded and looked at Kraken, as if seeking approval.

"It's not you." Kraken's calm mental fluctuations interrupted their thoughts, "You have no way to store energy. Extracting and storing energy after hunting, and bringing it back to the deep sea across long distances, and safely infusing it into Demon Empress... I am the only one capable of this series of processes."

"What?!" Right Guard was really shocked this time. His huge head turned to Kraken, and his mental fluctuations were filled with an incredible tremor, "Benefactor, you... you want to go in person?! You want Transformation? This... this is too risky!"

In the understanding of Zuo Right Guard, and even Tieshan and Mo Yuan, if Soul Beast wants to disguise himself perfectly and sneak into human society, Transformation has the only option to rebuild. And Transformation to rebuild means giving up power and starting from scratch, which is tantamount to suicide in this crisis-ridden world.

"Stop." Kraken's mental fluctuations are still stable, but with an unquestionable certainty, "Transformation, it is not difficult for me. I can pretend to be other things, pretend to be a human being, probably... that's OK."

As soon as the words fell, Kraken began to undergo strange changes without waiting for the reaction of the two guards on the left and right, Tieshan and Mo Yuan.

Under the suspicious gazes of the four people, the color on Kraken's body surface quickly faded and changed, and the texture seemed to be reshaped by invisible hands.

The icy blue and dull color faded like a tide, replaced by a slightly pale but full of life-like color of human skin. His inhuman outline rapidly shrank and reshaped, and his bones made a subtle but intensive "clicking" sound.

In a few breaths, the form of the huge deep-sea beast completely disappeared, replaced by a "man" quietly suspended in the sea water.

He is about 1.85 meters tall, with a slender and well-proportioned body, smooth but not exaggerated muscle lines, and full of restrained strength. His short, slightly messy gray hair is plastered in front of his forehead, with drops of water on the tips.

The facial contour is clear and the facial features are three-dimensional, but the eyes are long and narrow, giving people a calm and profound feeling. He is wearing a dark blue suit that looks ordinary but has a strange texture. The style is simple and neat, making it easy to move.

Except for one arm.

The entire left arm is like a weapon-like Scorpion Tail that "grows" out from his shoulder, and the tip of the tail hook flashes with a chilling light.

This Scorpion Tail Arm formed an extremely sharp and even weird contrast with the other parts of his body - on one side was the almost perfect human youth with a cold beauty, while on the other side were the Ferocious Beast limbs that were full of murderous aura and seemed to be born for puncture and tearing.

Tieshan, Mo Yuan, and the two guards on the left and right were all stunned. They could sense that the unique and awe-inspiring aura belonging to Kraken on the "person" in front of them was so weak that it was almost difficult to Instead, there is a nearly perfect "human" life fluctuation that they cannot understand. Even the ferocious Scorpion Tail Arm is exuding more of a cold, hard "foreign object" than the violence of the living Ferocious Beast.

"This..." Left Guard's huge eyes widened. Even though it has seen a lot, it has never seen such a magical and... realistic disguise. Except for the Scorpion Tail Arm that cannot be concealed, the rest of it, no matter from which angle it is viewed, is a living human youth!

"Master's methods... are unbelievable." Tieshan sighed angrily. This time, even it felt that it was running out of words.

Right Guard even stuttered, "Well, my benefactor... how did you do this... except for your arm... uh, left arm... everything else..." It couldn't find the right words to describe it.

Transformation? No, this is definitely not Soul Beast Transformation! No Soul Beast Transformation can Simulation the human aura so perfectly, even the life fluctuations are flawless and Kraken has obviously not lost its power.

Kraken (in human form) slowly opened his eyes. They were a pair of ice-blue eyes, and there seemed to be a subtle flow of data passing silently in the depths of the pupils. They were cold, rational, and without any human emotion.

He moved his neck, making a slight "click" sound, and then looked down at his human right palm. His fingers were opened and clenched, and the movements quickly became smooth and natural from the initial sluggishness.

The ferocious Scorpion Tail left arm also followed his thoughts, and the tip of its tail hook flexibly drew several subtle arcs, leaving several almost invisible tracks in the dark sea water.

"It's just a disguise." Kraken (humanoid) said, and his voice was directly transmitted into the minds of the four through Mental Power. The tone was a slightly low and strangely magnetic male voice, which matched his cold appearance at the moment. "As long as you don't use high-intensity energy bursts, and you don't encounter Titled Douluo-level beings using special means to detect Origin, you can get away with it."

He looked at his Scorpion Tail left arm that could not be disguised. During the "reorganization" process just now, he tried to turn this Scorpion Tail or Simulation into a human arm, which required extra energy to maintain the illusion and was easy to see through. More importantly, this Scorpion Tail Arm was his important attack method. The structure of the tail hook had unique advantages in piercing, injecting Dan-Devour, and absorbing energy to retain its prototype, so that it could exert stronger combat power when necessary.

"As for this," he slightly raised the ferocious Scorpion Tail Arm, and the tail hook spikes touched the air slightly, causing an imperceptible ripple, "To the outside world, it can be called Mutated Martial Soul The external manifestation of, human Soul Master, has all kinds of strange Spirit Empire and Soul Bone forms. Although this is conspicuous, it is not unexplainable."

Left Guard and Right Guard looked at each other, and both saw shock and admiration in each other's eyes. The benefactor's methods were completely beyond their understanding. This was not just a disguise, but more like an absolute control and redefinition of one's own form.

"By the way," Kraken (humanoid) turned his attention to Left Guard and Right Guard, who were still a little stunned, "You also have tasks."

"Please give me your instructions!" The two guards immediately calmed down and bowed their heads respectfully. They knew that since their benefactor decided to go to the land in person, there must be deep meaning, and they must have their uses.

"The Soul Beast hunted by Sea God Island is definitely not just Deep Sea Demon Whale." Kraken's mental fluctuation calmly analyzed, "In this endless sea, there should be other powerful Sea Soul Beast who have a blood feud with Sea God Island among the ethnic groups who are resentful of Sea God Island or have suffered greatly from it."

A flash of light flashed in the eyes of the two guards on the left and right, and they instantly understood Kraken's intention. As Ferocious Beast with a history of 450,000 years, they have lived in the deep sea for a long time, and they naturally understand the grudges and hatreds between the major powerful races. Soul Beast also has a blood feud with Sea God Island.

"You brothers have deep cultivation and are more familiar with the various races in the deep sea. I want you, during my absence, to try to contact and contact those powerful Sea Soul Beast groups who also hate Sea God Island, or at least have no good impressions of them." Kraken issued a clear order, "There is no need to force an alliance, just pass on the information: Sea God Island Sacred Pillar Guardian has been severely damaged, and its defenses are already empty. It is the enemy of Sea God Island. If they are interested, they can wait and see what happens, or... wait for the time to move."

This is to take advantage of Sea God Island's weakness and try to convert potential enemies into allies, or at least wait-and-see neutrals, to isolate Sea God Island. Two Ferocious Beast who are 450,000 years old come forward, and their weight and persuasiveness are far stronger than ordinary Sea Soul Beast.

"I will obey my benefactor's order!" Left Guard and Right Guard cheered up and responded in unison. This task is suitable for deep-sea overlords of their level and status to carry out.

"Tieshan, Mo Yuan." Kraken turned to the two Ferocious Beast, "You stay here, never leave, and protect Demon Empress. If there is any disturbance or a strong enemy attacks, the safety of Demon Empress should be our top priority. If necessary... we can abandon this place and take her away. I will leave a mark for easy search."

"Yes, Master!" Tieshan and Mo Yuan promised solemnly.

Kraken (human form) took one last look at Demon Empress, who was still sleeping. His ice-blue eyes flashed slightly, as if he was recording something. He said no more, and his thoughts quietly became transparent and faded, and finally completely disappeared into the dark sea water, without causing any ripples or leaving any traces.

Target - land.
