Chapter 102: West Sea Return Ruins (Please Subscribe)

"As you command, Lord Sea God!"

The sea monster leader Siren said respectfully.

"Only by finding other ancient secret realms and obtaining the Third‑tier Divine Medicine can we return to the Return Ruins!"

After speaking, the hundred‑meter‑long giant snake slowly closed its golden eyes, and its massive body gradually vanished into the dim sea water.

The giant snake was born in an ancient secret realm deep in the ocean—West Sea Return Ruins.

When the West Sea Return Ruins descended upon this world, it was merely an egg.

Bathed in spiritual energy, it finally cracked its shell.

Because it is the deity's offspring worshipped by all beings in the realm, sea monsters, unicorn dolphins and other races not only voluntarily submitted to it, but also gathered many divine medicines for it.

Relying on its innate talent and abundant resources, in just half a year the giant snake already rose to the pinnacle of the Lord Realm.

Unfortunately, the spiritual energy density in the realm is still insufficient to spawn a Third‑tier Divine Medicine.

It will take roughly another half year.

If no mishap occurs, the giant snake will certainly remain in the Return Ruins, awaiting the birth of the Third‑tier Divine Medicine.

But two months ago, Blackwater suddenly descended.

A Blackwater Unicorn Giant Python led countless Blackwater creatures, attempting to seize their territory.

The giant snake and this Blackwater Unicorn Giant Python erupted into a fierce battle.

In the end, although it briefly repelled the Blackwater Unicorn Giant Python, the black‑water contamination is an irreversible process; many Return Ruins sea peoples were eroded by Blackwater and gradually lost their sanity.

Forced by circumstances, the giant snake had to lead the surviving beings of the Return Ruins to relocate.

Now only by obtaining the Third‑tier Divine Medicine can it ascend to the King Realm, thereby completely defeating that Blackwater Unicorn Giant Python and returning to the Return Ruins!

After the giant snake left, the sea monster leader Siren emitted a special frequency, gathering the sea monsters around herself.

"Spirit Dolphin Tribe, you shall search along these three directions where the sea temperature drops."

The sea monster leader gave orders to one of the sea monster tribes.

The sea monsters of the Spirit Dolphin Tribe have almost all tamed a unicorn dolphin; this extraordinary creature moves at extreme speed in the sea, capable of covering several hundred kilometers per hour, making it ideal for reconnaissance missions.

"Other clans, follow me to search these two directions as well."

Lie Ping Shi, Day 5.

Frost Crane City.

In the calm harbor, a warship stood silently; this vessel from Eastern Summer was undamaged, and crew members kept its basic operations running.

Above the warship, a Frost Crane with white wings swooped swiftly, emitting a series of sonic booms.

It was the Frost Crane Leader.

It has been nearly a week since the Ice Lion King departed.

These days, it patrols the coastline with its kin in alternating shifts each day.

Regarding the mission assigned by the Ice Lion King, the Frost Crane Leader dares not be lax or dismissive.

When it flew several hundred kilometers away from the coast, it suddenly saw other creatures darting across the distant sea surface, drawing five white lines! The Frost Crane Leader flew a bit closer.

Immediately, it saw five unicorn dolphins, each bearing a humanoid rider on its back.

Mermaids! At this moment, those unicorn dolphins were racing toward its current position at incredible speed!

The target is likely Frost Crane City! In an instant, the Frost Crane Leader recalled the Ice Lion King's parting instruction—

Next, extraordinary beings from the Deep Sea Kingdom may come ashore from Frost Crane City and the nearby coastline. Upon spotting these beings, report to him immediately! The squad before us is likely that Deep Sea Kingdom's reconnaissance team! "We must quickly inform His Majesty!" "Moreover, we must not let this reconnaissance squad return alive!"

Two thoughts instantly formed in the Frost Crane Leader's mind.

Thus it immediately turned around, racing back to Frost Crane City to prepare a "reinforcement rescue."

It was not absolutely confident it could simultaneously kill or capture those five unicorn dolphins and the mermaids atop them!

After returning to Frost Crane City, the Frost Crane Leader let out a sharp crane cry.

Consequently, the Frost Cranes and other extraordinary beings busy throughout Frost Crane City quickly gathered.

The Frost Crane Leader is the lord of Frost Crane City, wielding great authority.

Whoosh! After assembling the troops, a dozen Frost Cranes surged with astonishing speed, soaring toward the mermaids like fighter jets.

On their backs each bore a "small backpack," a tactical pack designed by the Ice Lion King with human assistance! Inside were various "tactical spirit plants."

Soon, the Frost Crane Leader led its subordinates back to the sea area where the mermaids were.

They dived swiftly from the heights, talons clutching "Ice Blast Mushrooms" and "Ice Apples."

When the distance narrowed to just a hundred meters, the Frost Cranes simultaneously released their talons.

The sea monsters and unicorn dolphins, upon seeing the strange mushrooms, did not think to flee but instead gathered water currents and launched an attack.

The sea monsters tried to detonate those bizarre fruits in midair, but they inevitably exploded prematurely.

Bang! Bang! As the ice‑blue mushrooms and apple‑like fruits fell into the water, the massive impact caused them to explode instantly.

In an instant, the surrounding sea was enveloped by countless dazzling white flashes.

In the blink of an eye, all the mermaids were blinded, realizing they were under an organized assault.

Consequently, their legs instantly transformed into fish tails, instinctively trying to dive to the seabed.

However, they soon lost control of their bodies and began to laugh wildly.

These blue‑apple‑like fruits are a new mutated variety cultivated by the Ice Lion King.

【Laughing Ice Fruit】

【A variant of Frost‑Pattern Ice Fruit; the fruit is filled with laughing powder that, when inhaled, makes the vast majority of creatures laugh uncontrollably】

"Ho ho ho…"

Because of the uncontrollable laughter, the mermaids' tails twitched, preventing them from fleeing immediately.

The Frost Crane Leader had already taken the lead, launching another round of attack with the Frost Crane Troop.

【Freezing Air】

After being enfeoffed by the Ice Lion King, although not in the Great Snow Mountain Region, the Frost Crane Leader's Superhuman rank could still be maintained at the Superhuman Limit.

Moreover, over a dozen Frost Cranes simultaneously released Freezing Air.

In the blink of an eye, the seawater near the mermaids froze into blocks of ice.

The five mermaids, still laughing wildly, and their horned dolphin mounts were all frozen within the seawater.

Among this mermaid scouting team, there was no Lord-tier presence.

The strongest among them was at most an Advanced Superhuman.

In almost an instant, the five mermaids and their mounts lost all ability to resist! This is the tactic! Immediately afterward, the Frost Crane Leader lunged into the water, grabbed a large block of ice, and inside it was indeed a mermaid sealed.

The mermaid inside had not died; water-type spiritual power surged within the ice block, obviously it was desperately trying to break the seal.

The Frost Crane Leader unsealed the ice blocking the mermaid's head, and before the mermaid could react, he forced a can of blue juice into her mouth.
