Chapter 69: Threat from the Ocean

"Roar!" (I can accommodate a portion of humans. But these humans, from now on, will become members of the Ice Lion clan, and I will select the candidates.) Chen Mo said slowly.

He indeed had the idea of cultivating a human team.

First, humans can accomplish many tasks that supernal beings cannot, such as statistics, planning, administration, and infrastructure.

Second, after they awaken, their abilities become more varied, and some abilities may have unexpected effects.

Moreover, the two experimental pastures and two experimental farms he is preparing can also be handled by humans for some basic and trivial tasks.

For example, sowing, harvesting, and feeding.

Thus his other supernal kin can perform catalysis, plowing, and other tasks that require supernal power.

"I need to go back and ask the city lord and deputy city lord for their opinions. If all goes well, after a while I will bring people over, and you will select them personally."

Kalam said.

Chen Mo nodded, then asked, "Roar?" (How are your pastoral and agricultural developments progressing?) In order to obtain stable food, humans inevitably develop agriculture and animal husbandry.

He wanted to see the progress of the neighboring development.

"As for agriculture, one could say there is absolutely no progress."

Kalam sighed.

Great Snow Mountain's temperature is too low; the plant seeds they brought barely survived, and the spiritual energy's growth cycle is overly long, with most unsuitable for human consumption.

They have not yet found varieties suitable for planting in the snow‑mountain environment.

"As for breeding, there have been some results."

When humans in Zone 3 migrated, they formulated a plan to develop a new breeding industry.

There are many farms in the villages and towns of Tanzanila.

After the revival of spiritual energy, these livestock have undergone varying mutations; some have awakened supernal abilities but have not developed spiritual intelligence, and are relatively docile.

When the army moved Tanzanila residents to the snow mountain, they also brought many such livestock along.

After half a month of cultivation, although still in the initial stage, there have been preliminary results.

"We are currently mainly breeding a variety called Gluttonous Pig; although its intelligence is deficient, it eats voraciously, grows rapidly, and it only takes two weeks from piglet birth to being released from the pen."

After a moment of hesitation, Kalam said truthfully.

"Of course, there are problems; they eat too much, and we simply don't have enough fodder to feed them."

"I need three breeding Gluttonous Pigs, and also some other livestock such as chickens, ducks, geese, and cattle."

Hearing that, Chen Mo spoke.

"As a trade, I can provide you with some crop seeds suitable for growth in a harsh winter environment."

He currently lacks supernal creatures suitable for cultivation.

Although sending the Snow Fox leader to collect and cultivate could succeed, it would take considerable time.

But exchanging with humans only costs him some worthless seeds.

This round can be considered mutually beneficial.

"Lord Lion King, this is not a decision I can make; I need to return to seek higher approval."

Kalam replied.

Although he thought the instructor and the general would certainly agree to this trade, he still dared not answer casually.

In the Great Snow Mountain secret realm, the magnetic field is peculiar, and the mobile phone remains constantly out of signal.

Moreover, as the revival of spiritual energy intensifies, Blue Star's magnetic field has also changed, and many satellites have lost signal. Otherwise, a direct phone call would be possible now.

Chen Mo nodded.

"Your Majesty the Lion King, I also have some intelligence to share with you this time."

After roughly finalizing the trade, Kalam spoke again.

"Speak!"

Kalam approached Chen Mo and opened a saved video on his tablet.

The video's background is an endless ocean.

On the raging sea surface, a black giant whale dozens of meters long swiftly glides; its skin is pure black, like a massive submarine.

The whale's skin is covered with many sharp bony spines, exuding a violent aura.

Within a hundred‑meter radius, the seawater turns ink‑black, and fish bodies shatter, turning into massive chunks of gore.

Lordly pressure.

This is clearly a lord‑level supernal giant whale; it releases its lordly pressure without restraint to kill surrounding beings, then ravenously devours flesh.

"This video was filmed two days ago, located in the western Indian Ocean, just over 2,000 km from the Tanzanila sea region."

"The giant whale in the video is a Black Abyss Blue Whale that Dong Xia captured half a month ago, a low‑tier lord‑level creature infected by the Black Abyss Secret Realm."

Chen Mo nodded.

He had also heard of the Black Abyss Secret Realm; unlike other realms, creatures affected by it often lose their sanity and become monsters that know only slaughter.

However, this blue whale likely has not yet evolved the ability to move quickly on land, so it cannot affect him now.

"Your Majesty, please continue watching."

The video continues, its progress bar only at one‑quarter.

This dozens‑meter‑long giant whale rampages in the sea, but at 48 seconds into the video, its black eyes suddenly show a hint of panic, and its massive body darts wildly, unleashing astonishing speed.

It seems to be evading some terrifying presence in the water.

The previous Black Abyss Blue Whale was not the video's protagonist! In the next second, the deep sea suddenly produced massive black tentacles that rapidly wrapped and bound the Black Abyss Blue Whale.

These tentacles, like hard chains, tightly bound the giant whale.

Then the tentacles began to contract and thrash.

The next second, blood and flesh splattered on the surface! This lord‑level giant whale was torn into countless fragments of gore, just like the fish and shrimp it had previously shattered with its lordly pressure.

Chen Mo's gaze turned solemn.

Although we don't know what kind of creature the true form of these tentacles is, it can easily kill a lord‑level giant whale, obviously an extremely terrifying existence.

"Huh?" (What is this?)

"We also aren't clear what exactly it is; it's likely a supernatural being born in some unknown deep‑sea secret realm!"

"The only fortunate thing is that it is not an Abyssal creature, but a supernatural being possessing wisdom like Your Majesty."

"After that manifestation, it has never appeared again, but the nearby marine supernatural beings have begun to strangely gather and cooperate. According to our speculation, that tentacle monster is continually subduing its followers, likely to establish an ocean kingdom!"

"More importantly, its followers are now continually advancing along the direction of the sea's surge, and their direction is precisely the African continent!"

"These marine creatures are extremely likely to land on land and then conquer the entire African continent!"

Kalam said with a worried gaze.
