Selena smiled faintly, a hint of apology on her face, and walked to Ye Jiutian's side, giving him a warm hug.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Ye, it was my oversight. I forgot to tell you about this. I sincerely apologize! Sorry~"

Seeing Selena's sincere apology, Ye Jiutian's attitude softened slightly.

Upon seeing this, Selena immediately showered Ye Jiutian with praise:

"But Mr. Ye's ability to fight his way out of the mermen's encirclement is truly impressive!"

"Ye, let me introduce you to our Lord Del. Lord Del is from our ancestral land!" Selena emphasized the last sentence.

Ye Jiutian's expression changed, and he immediately suppressed his anger.

There's no other reason than that he can't afford to offend the people from the ancestral land. Even if the leader of their Dragon Group came, he wouldn't dare to easily take action against the people from the ancestral land!

Moreover, he is now a traitor, belonging to them, so they must be treated with even more care!

"Greetings, Lord Del! I was blind and did not recognize your greatness. Please forgive me!" Ye Jiutian bowed deeply, his face full of humility.

Del laughed heartily, looking at Ye Jiutian with admiration.

"So you're Captain Ye. You're truly a remarkable and heroic figure. To be able to fight your way through the fishmen is quite impressive!" Del patted him on the shoulder, very satisfied with his performance.

Such strength is exactly the kind of talent he needs, and also the key person he will focus on developing in the future. At this moment, Del was already thinking about how to improve his strength so that he could work better for him!

“It’s perfect that you’re here. I was just about to ask how those people outside are doing, how many are still alive?” Del asked.

Ye Jiutian's smile changed.

Del's words immediately reminded him of Ling Feng, who not only calmly faced the merman's attack but was now leisurely drinking tea!

"After the merfolk attack, most of the team was wiped out, except for Ling Feng!" He gritted his teeth as he spoke of Ling Feng.

Upon hearing this, Del's eyes darkened!

His worst fears came true, and he immediately looked at Ye Jiutian and asked in a cold voice:

"Ling Feng, tell me in detail!"

Seeing that Del looked displeased, Ye Jiutian didn't beat around the bush and immediately told him everything about how Ling Feng killed the fishman and how he prioritized defense!

After listening to Ye Jiutian's explanation, Del remained silent, his brows furrowed.

He never expected that Ling Feng's strength had reached such a level. His carefully planned merman attack posed no threat to him whatsoever!

Isn't this a slap in the face for him?

No, Ling Feng must die; I can't just let this go.

If he doesn't die today, he might cause me a lot of trouble when we get to the mountains tomorrow. I can't let Ling Feng live until tomorrow.

He immediately took out a cell phone and silently dialed a number.

The call was answered quickly, and he spoke in a language that no one else could understand.

Ye Jiutian was also completely bewildered, as the person was speaking a language he had never heard before and couldn't understand a word of it.

After hanging up the phone, Del's expression turned somber and uncertain.

He glanced at Ye Jiutian and said in a deep voice, "This Ling Feng must die today..."

...

On the other side,

The teams besieged by the murlocs discovered that the murlocs were slowly retreating, or rather, slowly regrouping.

All the survivors couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Although the merfolk hadn't retreated yet, they could finally catch their breath.

Some people were almost killed by the fishmen, but suddenly retreated, thus saving their lives!

The survivors all gathered together to prepare for the next wave of attacks from the murlocs!

However, they soon discovered that after this group of fishmen gathered, they neither attacked nor retreated, as if they were waiting for something!

These survivors kept their eyes fixed on the fishmen, not daring to let their guard down!

Ling Feng, who was drinking tea outside the tent, also noticed the fishman's unusual reaction!

"What kind of big move are these murlocs brewing up now?" Ling Feng looked at the murlocs outside with great interest.

"Let's get some hot pot, the night's been so long and boring!"

Ling Feng took out a hot pot and some ingredients for hot pot from his spatial storage, and also took out a bottle of Maotai.

Lin Su quickly heated the hot pot and added the ingredients.

Soon enough! The aroma of hot pot wafted out!

Those outside the safe zone couldn't help but swallow hard after smelling the aroma.

After a fierce battle, their energy was almost completely depleted, and they were exhausted and hungry.

I could have held on a little longer, but once the smell of hot pot wafted over, I simply couldn't stand it anymore.

Someone immediately complained, "Ling Feng is definitely doing this on purpose, messing with our mentality!"

"I haven't had dinner yet tonight!"

"I've heard that hot pot in China is incredibly delicious, I wonder if it's true!"

"It's fake, and it doesn't taste good at all!"

"Have you eaten there?"

"No!"

"roll!"

...

Ling Feng had no idea what the people outside were thinking; he was simply very happy.

Enjoying a steaming hot pot on a cold day is so comforting!

Half an hour later, those outside the safe zone noticed that the merfolk in the distance were starting to move.

In addition, they discovered that several fishmen were unusually tall, almost four meters in height!

They were twice as tall as ordinary merfolk, who only reached their waists.

Besides their height, those fishmen were also exceptionally strong, with arms twice as thick as an average person's thigh.

They sensed a violent aura emanating from these merfolk.

"Could these be the kings of the merfolk? They look incredibly powerful!"

"Barbie Q is in trouble now. She couldn't win to begin with, and now with so many experts coming, it's even worse!"

Everyone's hearts sank to the ground, their faces turned ashen. Just then, someone shouted out!

"Look, they're heading in Ling Feng's direction, not this way!"

Everyone immediately looked over carefully.

Sure enough, they saw these fishmen heading towards Ling Feng's direction.

"Haha, heaven has eyes! That fishman can't stand Ling Feng anymore and is going to teach him a lesson!" Ruan Ji of Nan Yue said with a gloating expression.

"Ling Feng is definitely doomed now. These big guys are probably at least tenth-grade Emperor level. Ling Feng definitely can't beat them!"

"Serves him right! Who told him to be so arrogant? Arrogance always brings trouble!"
