Chapter 278

"Mermaids?"

Li Yue's expression froze, and he asked with some surprise.

Mermaids.

They are a great clan.

However, they generally live in the vast ocean.

This million-li wilderness is how far from the ocean, no one knows.

How could there be mermaids?

Mermaids.

Although they are also lower-tier creatures.

They are superior lower-tier creatures.

Upon reaching adulthood.

They possess Rank 3 strength.

Just like the Silver Centaurs.

In legends.

Mermaids are actually a type of divine creature.

Their bodies flow with the bloodline of an ancient Sea God.

"How many are there?"

Li Yue spoke.

Mid-tier creatures can be encountered but not sought.

And upper-tier creatures—

Many are loners.

It is almost impossible to acquire an entire clan.

Although.

He already has the Black Moon Elves under his command.

He also has the Lei Ting Titans and Two-Winged Angels, which can form a force given time.

But regarding divine creatures.

He still values them greatly!

Divine creatures.

Compared to ordinary superior lower-tier creatures, their innate talents are generally much higher.

"That group of mermaids is not large, probably around five hundred to a thousand. My priest's power is limited, so I cannot ascertain..."

Pierce scratched his head and said awkwardly.

Scanning a range of three thousand kilometers.

Naturally relies on his priest as the main force.

His gaze rested on the priest.

"Five hundred to a thousand..."

Li Yue nodded lightly.

He looked at Pierce and showed a trace of approval: "You have done very well."

Although no precious mine veins have been found yet.

But—

A tribe of mermaids.

Is also a huge harvest!

"Respected God Master, to receive your praise is my honor."

Pierce hurriedly said modestly.

"You have been in the Rank 3 Demigod Realm for a long time, haven't you?"

"These seven hundred threads of divine power shall be your reward for this time."

Li Yue waved his hand.

Immediately—

Seven hundred threads of divine power flew out.

"Thank you, God Master, for the reward!"

Pierce was overjoyed, his rough face turning red.

Extremely excited.

Seven hundred threads of divine power!

This is completely enough for him to complete the Fourth Transformation!

Fourth Transformation Demigod.

Is precisely a Silver Demigod!

Compared to a Bronze Demigod, they are already in two different realms!

"Go."

Li Yue said indifferently.

Seven hundred threads of divine power are not much for him now.

If these seven hundred threads of divine power.

It would allow Pierce to investigate more thoroughly.

To find him another precious vein like a mithril mine.

That would be a hundredfold, a thousandfold return!

"Mermaids..."

After Pierce left, Li Yue pondered.

Mermaids are water-element creatures.

Sending Black Dragon, Bone Dragon, Black Moon Elves, and others would definitely be inappropriate.

These are not Undead-type.

They are Dark-type.

Naturally, they do not follow the same path as most creatures.

"Among this mermaid tribe, there should be a Shi Shi-level one."

"Then..."

His gaze turned toward Lei Ting Mountain... and the area beside it.

Ten years passed.

Hypuris had truly become a mountain of thunder.

It had not moved at all.

It needed no food whatsoever.

It only needed to absorb thunder energy.

"Hypuris."

Li Yue spoke, his voice majestic, booming and exploding.

"My great lord."

Hypuris opened his eyes and said respectfully, his voice humming.

Ten years is a very long time for lower-tier creatures.

But for a legendary creature like him,

it was nothing.

Immersed in endless thunder, his perception of time had even become much blurred.

This is also why, in some legends,

there are upper-tier creatures such as Stone Giants and Lava Trolls

that directly slumber for hundreds or even thousands of years.

As an upper-tier creature,
