"Yes, my lord."
John nodded.
Although I understood, I still couldn't help but feel strange.
I'm too lazy to do anything, I just like to eat and sleep, I still need to see it with my own eyes.
One hundred and fifty kilometers is not far.
For a level eight sea creature, it takes less than half an hour.
Upon arriving at the middle layer of the Lolochi Trench, he saw countless fish, mostly stonefish, but also a considerable number of other sea creatures.
Although Eric is lazy.
However, they remain quite tough when faced with sea creatures that bully their own kind.
Especially after they occupied this trench, ordinary sea creatures dared not set foot here at will, so many weak and kind sea creatures migrated here.
There isn't a single stonefish patrolling here.
They are so small that they are hard to distinguish with the naked eye; they are either crawling on coral or lying on sponges.
Under the camouflage, he appeared to be completely one with the others. If it weren't for his top-tier strength, he wouldn't even be able to detect these low-level stonefish.
"So carefree?"
John muttered something.
Then they discovered that the nearest stonefish had woken up on the coral.
The camouflage faded, but the body was completely smooth without any scales, with a large, round belly and a slightly narrower tail.
Its back is grayish-white with some stone patterns, and its belly is white with a reddish tinge.
Stonefish
First impression...
It's ugly, extremely ugly.
John thought to himself, "We fanged fish are just a bit scary-looking, but your appearance... would probably disgust even a human."
The stonefish swam over, its eyes still sleepy, and asked, "Fighting? Looking for someone?"
"Looking for someone."
"who?"
"Eric."
"Oh, come with me."
The stonefish fell silent.
They drifted slowly downstream into the trench.
Although Eric is a level nine, he only sleeps in the middle layer of the ocean, so he doesn't need to worry about seabed pressure.
A little while later...
They reached their position in the trench.
The stonefish opened its eyes: "We're here, come on."
"What's coming?"
"A guide fee? Don't you know our local customs?"
"Oh, sorry, sorry, here you go."
John took out a kettle.
The stone fish opened the bottle and took a sudden gulp.
The small fish and shrimp inside were sucked in, and they ate them with a crunching sound, showing a look of enjoyment.
After eating, he went back to being lazy.
They leisurely left again, not forgetting to complain before they went: "The toll for the journey was too small. Next time, bring more."
"..."
A dark line flashed across John's forehead.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Is this ethnic group really that peculiar?
Although Lord Murphy had given me warnings, I never expected it to be this bizarre.
The real question is, why did you bring me here in the first place?
There was a huge reef in front of me, but nothing there.
asshole!
I need to see Eric. Are you out of your mind and have you led me the wrong way?
John was about to explode with anger, but when he remembered that this was someone else's territory and that the other party also had a level nine expert, he suppressed his anger.
But thankfully...
Then Eric appeared.
A faint, colorful light emanated from the reef.
A gigantic stone fish appeared before him. Despite its lazy appearance and its closed eyes, the aura of a level nine creature still made him tremble.
"What's up?"
Eric speaks in a lazy and concise manner.
Like their own people, they don't waste words.
John took a deep breath to calm himself down: "Reporting to Lord Eric, my lord has sent me to ask you to assassinate a human. My tribe will first send you a month's supply of fish and shrimp. After the mission is accomplished, my tribe will provide a year's supply of fish and shrimp, guaranteeing that they are all fresh and tender live fish and shrimp."
"What's your name? Your strength? Your position?"
"This person is called Zhang Hao. His strength is at level eight, but he has the ability to burn his spirit, which allows him to briefly rival level nine. He is currently in Leizhou Peninsula on the Asian continent."
Why doesn't Murphy do it himself?
"this……"
John found it a little difficult to speak.
After all, their master had been severely injured by this human.
If the other party knew that this was a case of using someone else to do the dirty work, would they still take action?
Eric said with a mocking expression, "Not going to talk? I won't do it if you don't talk. And don't try to hide it from me. My clan may be a bit lazy on a regular basis... but it's still easy for us to investigate some things. Think it over before you speak."
John looked grave and said with a hint of unease, “Alas, my lord was injured by Zhang Hao at the port of Fusang tonight and is still recovering. But this man is very talented... My lord is worried that he will reach level nine in a short period of time.”
"Therefore, I request your assistance, but my lord is no match for Zhang Hao; he merely underestimated him. Please..."
"..."
Before he could finish speaking...
Eric interrupted him: "Whether I underestimate the enemy or not is none of my business. I don't care what grudge you have with that Zhang Hao, but this human can make Murphy so anxious... so he's obviously not someone to mess with. I have no reason to take such a big risk just because of this little bit of food."
"This...this..."
John was a little dumbfounded.
The master said something different.
This guy had no intention of agreeing at all, and he's not that stupid.
John was anxious and blurted out, "But...but Zhang Hao is a real threat to our sea race. We only have the southeastern continent of Asia left to occupy. Not long ago, our two landing plans were thwarted. As a fellow sea race member...can't you help us?"
