Chapter 106: Subduing the Sea Monster Race

In an instant, the sea monster leader drew a bow inlaid with blue gems from behind, and an arrow formed entirely from condensed water swiftly took shape.

With almost no aim, this Water God Arrow shot toward the Ice Lion at astonishing speed! The other sea monsters likewise drew their bows and loosed arrows, over a dozen water-formed arrows flying rapidly at Chen Mo.

Battle was imminent! The sea monster leader sensed no spiritual energy fluctuations from this giant lion.

But this size, and that oppressive presence.

It was absolutely a lord-level existence! Clearly, this Ice Lion had deliberately concealed its aura, using the "Spirit Dolphin Squad" as bait to actively lure them here! This was a trap! Facing the sea monster leader's attack, Chen Mo simply released his lordly pressure.

A powerful force field suddenly appeared, and all the water-condensed arrows hung suspended in midair, unable to advance another step.

Immediately after, these water arrows rapidly froze into ice in the blink of an eye, then fell to the ground, scattering into flying ice crystals.

"Ah~~~"

After discovering that the Water God Arrow could not harm the Ice Lion King in any way, the sea monster leader then began to softly hum, bizarre light shooting from her dark green pupils.

The ethereal and elusive singing voice of the sea monster race rose, as if possessing some power to drag living creatures into a deep-sea vortex.

【Voice of the Sea Monster】

The singing possessed the power to charm and even control other living creatures, and was also an ability unique to the sea monster race.

"Roar!"

Yet what answered her was a lion's roar.

The sea monster leader could not describe the power of this lion's roar in words.

The instant the lion's roar rang out, her mind went completely blank, and all sounds around her vanished in this moment.

The Voice of the Sea Monster came to an abrupt halt.

Suffocation and fear spread uncontrollably through the sea monster leader's heart.

The upgraded 【Roar】 gave Chen Mo's lion roar a fear-inducing effect!

At some unknown point, the Ice Lion King had already walked to right before them.

The sea monster leader struggled to resist, but was pressed to the ground by the powerful lord force field, completely unable to move!

The other dozen or so sea monsters were the same! The gap in strength between the two sides was far too vast.

"Submit, or die."

After linking with the Spirit-Ice Silkworm Thread, the Ice Lion King's majestic and calm voice rang in Siren's mind.

Siren did not answer, but the unyielding and anger revealed in her emerald pupils already represented her attitude.

"The sea monster race will never be enslaved! You can kill us, but Lord Sea God's wrath is not something you can bear!"

She thought of the message-carrying Qing Lin and Mo Tong, and feared that it would not be long before Lord Sea God learned of the appearance of an ice-type secret realm here.

When that time came, Lord Sea God would avenge them.

"Sorry, but I'm afraid your Lord Sea God cannot save you for the time being."

Chen Mo saw through the sea monster leader's inner thoughts and let out a low roar; behind him, the Frost Crane Leader brought two mermaids forward.

One was petite with pupils pitch-black as ink, while the other's arms were covered in cyan scales.

They were precisely Qing Lin and Mo Tong.

After arriving at Frost Crane City, Chen Mo immediately began dispatching Frost Cranes, Ice Sparrows, and the little black panther to blockade the airspace above the nearby waters.

The sea monsters' self-proclaimed covert movements had in fact been under his control all along.

Not long after Qing Lin and Mo Tong dove into the sea surface, the Ice Sparrow, eager to earn contribution points, sensed their presence through its powerful soul power.

It then used freezing breath to freeze the seawater around them, and captured them.

Seeing the figures of Qing Lin and Mo Tong, the sea monster leader Siren could not help but feel a hint of despair.

She somewhat regretted her own carelessness.

She had misjudged because of the spiritual energy density.

She had never expected that such a powerful creature would be born on this land! But regret was useless now.

Given Lord Sea God's habit of sleeping for three days and three nights at a stretch, after discovering their disappearance, it would likely take at least a week.

"Since you place such hope in your Lord Sea God, you should all the more choose to submit. After all, staying alive is more important than anything, isn't it?"

Chen Mo slowly walked toward the sea monster girl beside Siren, then grasped her in his paw.

If he applied just a little force, this sea monster would be killed.

"Let her go!"

Seeing this, the sea monster leader could not help but cry out.

"Sister, how about... we just submit? Lord Sea God will come to rescue us soon!"

After being grabbed by the Ice Lion King, Sai Jia had already been frightened pale, and sobbed with a tearful face.

"We... are willing to pledge loyalty to you."

The sea monster leader finally spoke with bitterness.

Chen Mo released the sea monster girl, then waved his paw; two Ice Void Spirits carried a beast hide covered in runes before the sea monster leader.

This was a vassal race contract.

It was knowledge Chen Mo had extracted from the Snow Mastiff King.

A one-sided contract similar to a blood pact, but relatively gentler.

If the sea monster race violated the contract, they would suffer a terrifying curse.

The sea monster leader touched the contract, and after confirming the information, her eyes showed some hesitation, but she finally sighed and infused spiritual power into the "deed of servitude."

The Ice Lion King was right.

Only in living was there hope.

Soon, the contract was established.

Looking at the dispirited sea monsters, Chen Mo "kindly" offered a word of comfort: "Don't be sad. I'll be right here, quietly awaiting the arrival of your Lord Sea God."

If it defeats me, then you will be free.

He knew these sea demons still held hope, before that giant snake appeared.

Even if forced to sign a contract, they could never sincerely submit.

As for that, Chen Mo didn't care.

Because his true purpose is to hunt the god behind these sea demons, that is, that high lord–level giant snake!

As long as we defeat and tame the giant snake, why fear these sea demons not submitting to us?

Of course, regarding the giant snake.

Chen Mo did not underestimate the enemy.

As a high lord–level being, and suspected to possess divine spirit bloodline, it necessarily hides many trump cards.

But Chen Mo also has considerable confidence in his current strength.

With the boost of numerous self-discipline titles, now any being below the King Realm cannot do anything to it.

As long as we prepare in advance and actively establish an advantage.

Seizing heavenly timing, earthly advantage, and human harmony, then the hunting plan still has a high chance of success! 'You actually still dare to dream of dealing with the Sea God?!'

Upon hearing this, the sea demon leader felt shocked inside, yet couldn't help feeling somewhat amused.

This ice lion king may have some strength, but it is simply too arrogant! Utterly overestimating itself!

It simply does not know the power the Sea God possesses! Facing the Sea God, the ice lion king has not a chance of victory! But that's fine.

As long as the Sea God arrives, they can regain their freedom! Seeing the extremely arrogant ice lion king, the sea demon leader breathed a sigh of relief.
