Earth.
Deep beneath the sea, several hundred kilometers from the Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific Ocean.
An inconspicuous black Giant Egg, roughly twelve meters in diameter and oval-shaped, lay horizontally on the seafloor. It was covered in mud and seaweed, yet not a single sea monster could be found within a hundred kilometers of it.
This was extremely unusual.
But upon closer inspection, one could spot a humanoid creature sitting cross-legged a thousand meters away from the Giant Egg.
The humanoid creature was likewise covered in mud and weeds, as though dead.
Buzz, buzz~
Suddenly, vibrations came from the humanoid creature's arm.
Splash.
A large amount of mud and weeds slid off.
The humanoid creature opened his eyes.
"Hey, Second Brother, why are you calling?" The humanoid creature was naturally Zhou Hao. He had arrived in these waters half a year ago and, after searching for over a month, had finally discovered where the Golden Horn Beast was hiding.
Then he had stayed there for half a year.
"Third Brother, you're still down on the seafloor?" Thor's voice came through the wristwatch.
The seawater around Zhou Hao blocked the signal. "Yes."
"Damn, Third Brother, you've really got patience. I was planning to spar with you, but forget it. You keep waiting there; I'll go find Fourth Brother Luo Feng instead," Thor said carelessly.
"Second Brother, Fourth Brother still hasn't beaten you yet?" Zhou Hao teased.
Thor was speechless. "Don't mention it. You two are more freakish than the other. Luckily, relying on the Yunmo Star lineage's warrior secret methods and domain, I can barely suppress Fourth Brother. Otherwise, he would've beaten me last year. But at this rate, if I don't break through to the Stellar level soon, it'll only be a matter of time before Fourth Brother defeats me!"
