Long Tian held a long spear in his hand, and his cultivation at the fifteenth level of Qi Refining suddenly burst out. The dragon blood flowing in his body instantly boiled, and waves of pressure appeared.
The crab army treated it as a formidable enemy and took up fighting stances, not daring to show any disrespect.
However, before Long Tian actually stepped onto the battlefield, he was stopped by a sea snake.
"Young Master Long, please stop. Ahead is a battlefield where my sea snake tribe and the crab tribe are fighting. It is full of dangers. If you are not careful, you will lose your life!"
Standing in front of Long Tian was a sea snake at the eighth level of Qi Refining. In terms of strength, Long Tian could easily crush it, but even so, the sea snake still stood in front of him without hesitation.
Long Tian frowned and looked into the distance.
On the battlefield, the crab army was coming in full force. The top powerhouses in the foundation-building stage were confronting each other in secret, while the sea snakes in the Qi-refining stage had already rushed towards the crab army, and a war was about to break out.
This was the time when the sea snake clan had made brilliant achievements and established their own prestige. How could Long Tian be stopped by a sea snake at the eighth level of Qi Refining?
Long Tian was very unhappy, but he didn't show it. He had suffered similar losses before and knew the importance of controlling his emotions.
"The crab army is coming in force, and the sea snakes will soon start a brutal war. Although I don't have sea snake blood flowing in my veins, since I'm the husband of your sea snake princess, I am a grasshopper on the same line with your sea snake clan. Now that your clan is in trouble, why are you trying to stop me?"
Facing Long Tian's questioning, the sea snake at the eighth level of Qi Refining remained calm:
"Mr. Long just said that you are the husband of the princess of my Sea Serpent Clan. Naturally, we have an obligation to protect your safety. The battlefield is full of dangers and the situation is unpredictable. If anything happens to Mr. Long, how will we explain to the Sea Serpent King? Please don't make things difficult for us!"
As soon as the eighth-level Qi Refining Sea Snake finished speaking, more than a hundred Qi Refining Sea Snakes instantly swarmed over and said in unison, "We are ordered to protect the safety of Master Long and the Sea Snake Princess. Master Long, please return to your bedroom!"
The cultivation levels of these sea snakes are all above the eighth level of Qi Refining, and some have even reached the tenth level of Qi Refining.
They are the backbone of the sea snake clan. They should have been killing enemies and making meritorious deeds on the battlefield, but now they are gathering around him in the name of protecting Long Tian and Zhenzhen, surrounding him tightly. How ridiculous is this?
Long Tian's chest was heaving with anger, but he managed to hold back his anger, though his expression inevitably looked a little ugly.
"Who sent you here?"
More than a hundred sea snakes remained silent, as if they had not heard Long Tian's question at all.
Long Tian took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
It is impossible to retreat to the bedroom. Not only will he fail to establish prestige among the siren tribe, but he will be regarded as a useless fool.
But Long Tian couldn't fight with these Qi Refining Sea Snakes just for the sake of going to the battlefield. This would only cause trouble for himself. Even if he made a contribution, he would be accused of being a traitor.
After calming down, Long Tian paid attention to the situation on the battlefield while thinking about the existence behind these one hundred sea snakes and what their purpose was.
There are eight foundation-building sea snakes in the sea snake clan, corresponding to the eight forces within the clan.
For a long time, these eight forces have been fighting openly and secretly for their own interests, fighting until they were bloody, but they have maintained superficial harmony under the coordination of the Sea Snake King.
But the appearance of Long Tian broke this superficial calm. He was naturally talented and became the husband of the Sea Snake Princess. Although he did not have the blood of the Sea Snake clan flowing in his veins, his status in the Sea Snake clan was very high from the beginning.
If Long Tian were allowed to fight, he would most likely make military achievements and his prestige among the sea snake clan would increase. This would not be a good thing for the forces controlled by the eight foundation-building sea snakes.
They have already divided the entire sea snake clan into eight parts. How can they tolerate new entrants to divide up the profits?
Therefore, a big part of the reason for sending more than a hundred sea snakes to block Long Tian's way was to prevent Long Tian from establishing prestige in the sea snake clan and make him be a bystander.
In addition, these one hundred sea snakes have very high cultivation bases, and are the backbone of any force controlled by the sea snakes in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
The crab army that invaded the sea snake territory this time was very powerful. Those in the Foundation Establishment stage were basically on par with the sea snake clan, and those in the Qi Refining stage were even stronger than the sea snakes as a whole.
Having these sea snakes guard Long Tian prevented them from engaging in direct combat with the crab clan, thus preserving the strength of his own forces.
Of course, the leaders of other forces are not stupid either. They let their subordinates play 30% and act 70%, and then retreat after a little effort. They don’t fight to the death with the crab army.
As a result, the sea snake army and the crab army, which originally had similar strength, now showed a one-sided situation. The sea snake clan was retreating step by step and was about to be attacked into the heart of the clan!
The sea snake clan is facing such danger, but the leaders of various forces are still scheming against each other and only care about the interests of their own camp.
How could they, who have been blinded by interests, have anticipated that if the sea snake clan was completely conquered, their respective forces would also face a devastating blow!
Fortunately, not all sea snakes are as greedy as them and forget the principle that no eggs will be left intact when the nest is overturned.
The more than one hundred sea snakes who had obeyed orders and besieged Long Tian before, finally became restless when they saw that their tribe was losing battle after battle and was about to hand over the tribe's heartland to the enemy.
Those sea snakes in the Foundation Establishment Stage do not need to care about the safety of the entire sea snake clan, because with their cultivation level, even if the sea snake clan is conquered, they can escape safely and establish a new clan elsewhere.
But the sea snakes in the Qi Refining Stage cannot ignore it. The tribe is their foundation, which allows them to have the land for survival and provides them with resources for cultivation.
If the sea snake clan died, even if they managed to survive by chance with their cultivation level, they would be displaced for the rest of their lives, with nowhere to stay, and no resources for cultivation, and their future would be bleak.
At this time, among the more than one hundred sea snakes that besieged Long Tian, more than eighty of them were quietly watching the situation on the battlefield, feeling very anxious.
Long Tian noticed the subtle changes in the emotions of these sea snakes and knew that this was a good time to incite them to rebel. So he straightened his back, gripped his halberd tightly, and swept away the sea snakes in front of him.
"The sea snake clan is facing an existential crisis. The enemy is about to reach the heart of the clan and slaughter your compatriots. You, the eighth-level Qi Refining sea snakes, the backbone of the clan, are hiding here to survive, watching helplessly as the crab army slaughters your compatriots. You are simply a bunch of useless cowards!"
After being scolded by Long Tian, the more than one hundred sea snakes felt even more uncomfortable, but this was an order from their superiors, so they had no choice but to obey!
"Young Master Long Tian, please don't make things difficult for us!"
The sea snakes were extremely conflicted, but they still chose to obey the orders given by their superiors and stood in front of Long Tian again.
However, at this time, their psychological defenses were close to collapse. Long Tian took advantage of the victory and waved his halberd again, sweeping away all the sea snakes in front of him.
"No matter what you think, since I married the princess of your sea snake clan, I am a member of the sea snake clan."
"How can I sit idly by and watch my tribe in trouble? Even if I die on the battlefield today, I will stop the enemy from entering the sea snake territory!"
