"Of course I understand."
William Smith gave a wry smile: "But I really don't want to see the many sea creatures of the Coral Sea plunged into a bloody war. I know I'm indecisive... but I can't change my nature."
Zhang Hao's eyes sharpened as he said, "Hesitation only leads to more trouble. You may not want to see the many sea creatures of the Coral Sea fall into war now, but sooner or later... your cowardice will cause the entire Coral Sea to become a pawn in the war."
"Perhaps that's fate, and there's nothing I can do about it."
"How foolish!"
Zhang Hao pressed him with a determined look, saying, "Since you are so indecisive, then I will be the clan leader. As long as we brothers work together... the Coral Sea and the South China Sea will become our support, and the many sea creatures will no longer be in danger."
"You'll be the clan leader?"
William Smith was a bit conflicted.
Although the two brothers had a deep bond, they had only met twice in reality. The first time they met, they became sworn brothers. Despite communicating many times through metal rings, they had spent less than half a month actually together.
It didn't actually know that William Zhang was a real human.
Because of the simulation of the spiritual aura of the sea creatures, coupled with the lightning attribute ability, William Smith mistakenly thought that the other party was also an electric eel. However, he also knew that the other party had many humans under his command, such as Meng Wu, who had previously persuaded the two of them to become sworn brothers.
There are also Sun Aotian and Zhao Wu, who are expected to advance to level nine.
That's not all...
He also saw that they had attracted a large number of mutated creatures in Australia, such as kangaroos, flamingos, and hares.
The species are countless, and the scale is approaching tens of millions. Even the electric eel species cannot be underestimated. Therefore, he knows very well that his elder brother has great ambitions and will not let go of any sea creatures, mutated creatures, or humans.
But after spending time together...
He realized that his elder brother's ambition was simply to survive.
So when Zhang Hao said he wanted to be the leader of the electric eel clan, he wasn't too opposed to it. However, since the mutation of the electric eel clan in the Coral Sea, he had been personally in charge of it.
If the eldest brother becomes the clan leader, will it cause resistance?
and……
These electric eels live a peaceful and uncontested life.
Are we really willing to give up this hard-won peace?
"..."
It seemed that he had seen through the other party's hesitation.
Zhang Hao asked earnestly, "Little brother, do you think that the electric eel clan doesn't want to have conflicts with other sea creatures? Do you think... everyone wants to live peacefully like this?"
“Isn’t that right? Who likes war?” William Smith retorted.
"Of course, no one likes war, especially in peacetime when war is only waged as a last resort, but now we are in a chaotic apocalypse... war is the only way to peace."
Zhang Hao patiently persuaded, "Do you think the electric eel clan can just stay out of trouble? The other level-nine overlords of the Coral Sea... have long wanted to make a move against us, especially after they discovered that I had taken the South China Sea, they will be even more restless."
“These days, many of the patrolling electric eels in the Sky Clan are constantly being provoked by the crown-of-thorns starfish and Portuguese man-of-war. Some of the patrolling electric eels have even been injured or killed. Everyone wants to live a peaceful life, but the other sea creatures won’t allow it.”
"Everyone is holding their breath and wants to get revenge. I can give up being the clan leader. Let me lead the electric eel clan to deal with their leader... and the integration of the Coral Sea will be more than half done."
"A patrolling electric eel was injured? How come I didn't know?"
William Smith paused for a moment.
He glanced at one of his level eight electric eels, which said dejectedly, "I'm sorry, Chieftain, it was I who asked everyone to keep the news a secret... because you don't like conflicts with other sea creatures, and I was afraid it would displease you..."
"So what if I'm unhappy? Everyone is the most important person!"
William Smith, unusually furious, exclaimed, "How dare those crown-of-thorns starfish and Portuguese man-of-war harm my people? They've really gone too far! Kindness is often taken advantage of... I've seen it all now. Gather all my people now, and I'll make them pay in blood!"
"..."
An electric eel of level eight was about to enter the sea.
But Zhang Hao stopped him and patiently comforted him, saying, "Little brother, calm down first. Although these two races are inferior to the electric eel race, they are still quite threatening when combined... Attacking them directly will result in too many losses and will not be worth it."
William Smith asked, "Brother, what do you suggest we do?"
"First, gather intelligence to confirm the locations of the two clan leaders. Then, you and I, brothers, will assassinate them. To prevent our stronghold from being raided... Philip and Moen will stay behind to oversee things. What do you think of this plan?"
"But the enemy group is numerous, how can we assassinate them?"
"The Stonefish clan's ability allows them to blend into their surroundings and also be applied to others... Although the duration is relatively short, assassination is easy once their clan leader is located."
Zhang Hao narrowed his eyes and said, "Although Eric didn't come, I brought a few level eight stone fish. None of them can detect anything below level nine... As for level nine? We don't need to worry about that. We just need to sneak in and kill them."
"You used this method to assassinate Murphy before?"
"That's right."
"Okay! Let's do it that way."
...
...
Southwest Coral Sea.
Starfish of various colors lay sprawled on the coral.
Above, jellyfish of various shapes were slowly drifting by.
These crown-of-thorns starfish look completely different from ordinary starfish. They are enormous, with even the lower-grade ones measuring four or five meters in length, while the intermediate and higher-grade ones are even more outrageous, ranging from ten to several tens of meters in length, and their bodies are covered with thorns.
The colors are also vibrant and varied, including purple, blue, orange, cyan, and many others.
Whether before or after the apocalypse, the thorny starfish is a carnivore. Before the apocalypse, it feeds on corals, as well as the carcasses of invertebrates and mammals. After the apocalypse, it has virtually no dietary restrictions.
They can eat any living creature, and their appetite is quite astonishing.
Most importantly...
These starfish are poisonous, and extremely so.
The entire body is covered in thorns and poisonous spikes like wheels, and the poison cells inside contain a powerful neurotoxin that can paralyze the nerves and stiffen the body until the nerves die.
then.
Crown-of-thorns starfish is known as the poisonous devil of the sea.
————Crown of Thorns Starfish
These jellyfish are entirely blue and consist of an upper bell and lower oral arms. The oral arms have a large number of tentacles, some of which are tens or even hundreds of meters long. The nematocysts on the tentacles are also poisonous and can secrete digestive acid.
It can also fire poisonous barbed wire from a distance to corrode enemies.
Before the apocalypse, its venom was comparable to that of a cobra; after the apocalypse, its venom became even more potent. This is the Portuguese man-of-war.
