Chapter 2588: Struck it rich
Up to now, Ling Yunyi's grandfather still does not agree with the Spirit Ancestor's decision.
But the arm cannot twist the thigh; facing the Spirit Ancestor's decision, he has no right to refute.
Several Heavenly Spirit Tribe elders are still nervously formulating a plan, especially regarding some details.
Now the Human Race side has successfully invited them; the next task is how to steadily deliver these tens of thousands of human cultivators into the Sea God's mouth.
While the Heavenly Spirit Tribe side was secretly plotting, on the other side, Ye Zhangqing and his group finally arrived at this nearest red dot.
Looking from afar, when they saw those huge Sea Gods, snow-white all over with a hint of red stripes, everyone's eyes lit up instantly.
Xu Jie's guess was correct; each red dot on those water pearls represents a Sea God ingredient.
"We've struck it rich."
Nobody knows who whispered it, but for a moment everyone nodded in agreement.
We really struck it rich; earlier we thought there were only three Sea God ingredients, but now it's clear that's not the case.
As Ling Yunyi said, the Sea God is indeed a clan; it truly is a clan.
Good, good, good…………………
Even Huang Lao couldn't help saying 'good' repeatedly, and at the same time he treasured the water pearl in his hand all the more.
This is absolutely a supreme treasure; there are plenty of Sea God ingredients nearby, and also far away.
As long as we hold this water pearl, we will surely have a chance to obtain these supreme ingredients later; isn't that a treasure?
At the very moment the crowd saw those Sea Gods, the other side naturally saw them as well.
Although before these Sea Gods, the human form is indeed too tiny.
Yet these Sea Gods instantly recognized their human identity.
"How strange? How did these Post-Heaven humans end up here?"
"Could it be that the servants over there have already started acting?"
"But we haven't received any news."
The Sea Gods exchanged glances, and from their mouths came low growls that no one could understand.
In their mouths, the Heavenly Spirit Tribe had become mere servants, and the contempt in their words was utterly undisguised.
It's strange why these human cultivators would appear here; this place is not close to the Heavenly Spirit Tribe.
But before the Sea Gods could think much, Huang Lao and the others on the opposite side had already taken the initiative.
With the ingredients right before us, what's there to hesitate about? Let's take them down first.
"Charge."
Following Huang Lao's low shout, everyone immediately rushed forward.
Sensing Huang Lao and the others' movements, the Sea Gods were instantly startled.
"Damn it, these humans still want to attack."
"Courting death."
"Kill them first, then talk."
With angry shouts, the Sea Gods also charged forward without the slightest fear.
"Come on, they are innate beings; facing a group of acquired beings, how could they fear? This is a gap in life's level, an unbridgeable chasm."
"These Post-Heaven humans, since they came here seeking death, whatever the reason, just kill them outright."
"Their massive bodies, like mountains, charged toward Huang Lao and the others; in terms of size, there is truly no comparison."
"The difference is too great; moreover, relying on their immortal bodies, these Sea Gods simply do not dodge Huang Lao and the others' attacks."
"Come on, no matter how strong the attacks of these Post-Heaven humans are, if they don't hit the water pearls inside the Sea Gods, they cannot inflict any damage."
"This is the advantage of innate beings: favored by heaven and earth, they have inherent protection."
"They need not worry that human attacks could threaten their lives; therefore, facing Huang Lao and the others who had already prepared to strike,"
"these Sea Gods charged straight ahead without dodging or avoiding."
"But as the attacks landed on their bodies, the Sea Gods suddenly sensed something wrong."
"How did this attack go straight for the water pearls?"
"The humans' attacks were not random at all; they were aimed precisely at the water pearls inside them."
"Although not all were hit, in just a single exchange, two Sea Gods had their internal water pearls shattered outright, caught off guard."
"What's going on with these Post-Heaven humans? How do they know the Sea Gods' secret?"
"This is their clan's secret, a method only innate beings possess."
"The Sea Gods were frightened, while Huang Lao and the others didn't have so many thoughts; although they didn't achieve total success, as long as there is a method, it's fine."
"A few more strikes and we can definitely kill them."
"Surround and kill them."
"With a low shout, everyone immediately split into different teams, beginning to divide and encircle the Sea Gods."
"This makes it easier to surround and kill them."
"Now the Sea Gods no longer have their former composure; instead, they let out fearful roars."
"Wanting to flee, but Huang Lao and the others would not give them that chance, directly blocking all escape routes."
"The ingredients are already at our lips; there's no reason to let them run away."
"As for Ye Zhangqing, Xu Jie, and Zhao Zhengping, the three of them did not join the battle; Ye Zhangqing was not permitted by Huang Lao, and even though his cultivation is not low, there's no need to risk himself."
"As for Xu Jie and Zhao Zhengping, it's even simpler: their cultivation doesn't meet the standard, so they aren't qualified to fight."
"The three watched the battle unfold in silence; seeing Huang Lao and his side gain the advantage, their mood relaxed considerably."
"Xu Jie even had the mood to joke."
"What are these ingredients growling about for no reason?"
Watching the several Sea Gods, roaring continuously as Huang Lao and the others besieged and killed them, Xu Jie didn't understand a single word.
All I heard was their nonstop chattering there, which was annoying.
These Sea Gods are completely numb; these Post-Heaven Human Race actually know their weakness, and moreover, this aura actually carries a hint of innate qi.
How is this possible? The Human Race aren't acquired beings? Where would acquired beings get innate qi?
Although it's only a trace, even negligible, this is already absurd.
You should know that innate qi is exclusively possessed by innate beings; it is a gift of heaven and earth, and only innate beings can possess it.
Moreover, I've never heard of any acquired being able to possess innate qi.
In a state of shock and suspicion, these Sea Gods couldn't hold out long before being successively slain by Huang Lao and the others.
They also obtained four Sea God ingredients, and Huang Lao and the others were overjoyed.
They didn't even think about eating, but instead eagerly said.
「Don't rush to eat; first deal with all the Sea God ingredients around here. Later there will be plenty of time to savor them slowly—don't let these ingredients get away. 」
「Yes, what Huang Lao said is right—important matters first, get the ingredients; with ingredients in hand, why worry about not having a chance to eat? 」
Without resting, Huang Lao glanced at the water droplets on his hand, then confirmed a place where red dots gathered, and immediately led everyone rushing there.
Unaware of what was happening on the Sea God's side, the Heavenly Spirit Tribe had already begun preparing for the sacrificial rites.
