"..."
These words were spoken.
To everyone's surprise, Murphy narrowed his eyes, a hint of coldness flashing in them: "So, John Bruce, you mean that once Zhang Hao advances to level nine... I won't be able to defeat him?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant."
John panicked and quickly changed his words: "You are wise and powerful, how could you not be a match for Zhang Hao? I just feel that Zhang Hao is one of the best in Asia. If he really breaks through to the ninth level... it will inevitably cause some trouble, and some of Dawn's members may escape."
Murphy sneered, "Oh? So you mean if Zhang Hao reaches level nine, I won't be able to destroy the Dawn Society?"
"This...this...of course not. I just thought it would be safer this way. I didn't mean to question you," John said in a flustered manner.
"Of course I know you don't, and what you just said is also correct."
Murphy's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression became serious: "Originally, my plan was to mobilize all the sea creatures in the South China Sea, and with my personal involvement, wouldn't it be easy to destroy Zhang Hao and the Dawn Society? But then I thought about it... Now, almost all the coastlines of the seven continents of Blue Star have been occupied by various deep-sea areas."
“Some of our clansmen have even shed their blood inland. As a result, Zhang Hao has risen rapidly in less than three years and occupied four major coastal cities. Although those cities are not as prosperous as Shanghai, they are of great strategic importance. Subsequently, our clan’s two landing plans were completely thwarted.”
“Even if we had made preparations in advance based on the so-called prophecy of dawn, the fact that the leader could defend most of the coastline so meticulously and keep all the sea creatures out... that is beyond the ability of ordinary people. So, just to be on the safe side, I sent my people to contact William Doyle on the South American continent.”
"Prepare in advance to test humanity. Although William is not level nine, the Trident Bug race can spread diseases on a large scale. So I instructed him to attack several cities, including Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Fuzhou. This disease is enough to cause chaos within the Dawn Society."
"But who can know..."
"It's only been a few months, but Zhang Hao actually discovered the threat of the Trident Bugs ahead of time. He decisively commanded the vampire octopuses that were unaffected by the blood mist, and dealt a devastating blow to William. This was something I never expected, so I had no choice but to step in personally this time. Unfortunately, I still underestimated Zhang Hao."
“He always anticipates the enemy’s moves and proceeds step by step. I absolutely do not believe that he can do this solely because of that strategist who can predict the future. This person must have some great secret that no one knows.”
"..."
John hesitated for a moment before asking, "So you mean? Zhang Hao's importance... is far greater than that of the Dawn Society?"
"That's right. Although the Dawn Society is developing rapidly, it is still like a mantis trying to stop a chariot when it comes to fighting against the entire sea race and even mutated creatures. The reason why the Dawn Society has not been damaged yet is because Zhang Hao, as the core, has instilled a belief in the entire Dawn Society that it will never be defeated."
Murphy's eyes turned ruthless as he said, "If the Dawn Society fails even once, the organization will collapse instantly. Of course, the prerequisite is that Zhang Hao must be killed... Only when the leader Zhang Hao dies can their invincible belief be thwarted. Otherwise, even if the Dawn Society is destroyed, as long as Zhang Hao lives, a second Dawn Society will still rise."
"certainly……"
“What you said earlier makes a lot of sense. We absolutely cannot let Zhang Hao advance to level nine. Otherwise, he could unite all the humans on the entire southeast coast with just one sentence, and the situation would be even more difficult to control. Therefore, Zhang Hao must die!”
“Understood, please issue your decree,” John said respectfully.
"..."
Murphy instructed, "My injuries need to heal, but it will take at least half a month. However, in order to stop the opponent from advancing to level nine... we need other sea creatures to take action. Go to the Lolochi Trench, 150 kilometers south of the nearby sea, and find Eric. Ask him to personally find an opportunity to infiltrate the Dawn Society and assassinate Zhang Hao."
"Eric? You mean the Stonefish King?"
"That's right."
Murphy's eyes darkened as he said, "Although this guy is not as strong as me, he has a strong ability to disguise himself and is also poisonous... Even if his strength is insufficient, it is enough to make Zhang Hao die from the poison!"
"But……"
John hesitated, "Eric might not follow your orders."
The deep sea area is too vast.
In particular, the Pacific Ocean itself is very large, covering 49.8% of the ocean area of the blue planet. If divided in detail, the Pacific Ocean alone has twenty-eight large sea areas, such as the East China Sea, South China Sea, Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea in southeastern Asia, Coral Sea near Oceania, Bering Sea near North America, and so on.
There are countless smaller sea areas, so the deep Pacific Ocean is not dominated by Murphy alone. Although there are not many Level 9 creatures like Murphy who hide in the shadows, not every Level 9 sea creature is willing to obey Murphy's orders.
Most level 9 deep-sea creatures have their own territories.
Many ambitious level-nine sea creatures have gathered a large number of sea creatures, such as Murphy, but he actually controls very few sea areas, only the South China Sea and a few small sea areas.
There are even more powerful level nine sea creatures than him.
The large sea areas under their control are even more numerous. Let alone commanding them... It's already a favor that people don't bully you because they're from the same race. If you encounter someone who doesn't care about face and is strong enough, they can beat you up and you won't be able to do anything about it.
And Eric...
As a level nine sea creature, it is a rare and peculiar one.
He was extremely lazy and often hid at the bottom of the sea to sleep in, sometimes for more than half a year at a time. He had no interest in controlling the sea or invading the mainland, and he was even too lazy to gather his subordinates.
If it weren't for other sea creatures bullying the stonefish...
Eric is unwilling to even unite his own kind, but there is no doubt that Eric is very talented.
It's absurd that it can reach level nine even though it sleeps all year round. This guy is one of the few level nine sea creatures that can be used to some extent, but you really have to find the right approach to get him to work.
Murphy thought for a moment, then said with a determined look, "It's not interested in territory, but it's very particular about food. Instruct everyone to catch a batch of live fish and shrimp. Size doesn't matter... Remember, they must be fresh and tender. Don't use the old ones. As for the species of fish and shrimp, you can choose for yourself."
"If it still refuses to make a move..."
“Then you should say that after the deal is done, I will provide him and his tribe with a full year’s supply of fresh, live fish and shrimp, so that they will not have to spend time and effort going out to hunt for food. That way, he will definitely take action.”
