"Let's patrol first, don't give the humans any opportunity to take advantage!"
Jiang Yuan did not intend to take action as soon as he entered the core area. Instead, he chose to observe the core of the Water Cube first to determine the next course of action.
The war between land and sea is not something that can be decided overnight. For example, the war between land and sea in the Battle of Godfall lasted for hundreds of years, resulting in the devastation and extinction of all living beings. Although Jiang Yuan wanted to end the war as soon as possible, this matter could not be rushed.
"Be on high alert! Don't let even a single leech escape!"
The guard team patrolled again, while Jiang Yuan collected information about the interior of the Water Cube and recorded the patrol time and defense strength of the guard team.
"Damn it, have these humans gone mad lately? They're attacking our strongholds every day, and this is the twenty-seventh stronghold they've taken today!"
"Who can argue with that? They retreated after failing in their first attack, giving us no time to react at all."
"Don't rush, some important figures are already preparing to enter. They want to see what tricks the humans are up to!"
Really?
"Nonsense, my uncle is the supreme commander of the Ghost-Faced Shrimp. He told me this himself and even told me to prepare well to welcome that important figure!"
Jiang Yuan was leading his team on patrol when he overheard unexpected information from another guard team.
"Hey, Sixth Brother, does that guy really have a cousin who's a Grand Commander?" Jiang Yuan asked the sea creature behind him.
The sea creature called "Sixth Brother" was taken aback at first, then said with a look of disdain, "Listen to his bragging. This guy used to hook up with an old shrimp who was three thousand years older than him in the deep sea. The Grand Commander is that old shrimp's uncle."
"A woman three years older than a man is like a golden brick, and a woman three thousand years older than a man is like a celestial being?" Jiang Yuan's lips twitched at the sound of this. But if he put himself in her shoes, he probably wasn't much better off. For example, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, whose age was probably so great that even two hands couldn't make up the zeros at the end. She was truly as old as heaven and earth, and he still flirted with her.
"That's not true! This guy just sponged off a woman and managed to get into the guard team with his Divine Realm cultivation. Otherwise, there are plenty of powerful sea creatures outside who wouldn't even be qualified to guard the Satellite Air Sea Array, let alone him!"
The sixth brother withdrew his gaze disdainfully, then smiled obsequiously at Jiang Yuan and said, "Unlike the captain, who casually hooked up with a beautiful and young member of the merfolk royal family. With three royal families as his backers, he'll surely rise through the ranks."
"Thank you for your kind words. I'll definitely take you with me when I achieve great success," Jiang Yuan said politely.
"Guards, all of you, come here!"
Just as the two were about to continue their conversation, a loud, murderous voice rang out from the inner circle.
Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Yuan realized that his opportunity had arrived.
The Water Cube's core is divided into inner and outer layers. Their guard team is currently guarding the outer layer, while only the four half-decayers and high-ranking members of the Illusionary Snow Pig and Ghost-Faced Shrimp clans are qualified to enter the inner layer.
"Walk!"
Jiang Yuan couldn't miss this opportunity, so he led his team toward the direction of the sound.
"My lord, what are your orders?" Jiang Yuan bowed his head respectfully, worried about being exposed in front of the half-decayed one, so he didn't want to attract too much attention.
Fortunately, the opponent was not one of the four half-decayed beings, but a ninth-stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivator from the Ghost-Faced Shrimp.
Have any suspicious individuals infiltrated the area recently?
"There are no suspicious persons, and the guards have not allowed anyone to approach!"
As was customary, the Ghost-Faced Shrimp expert asked the question, and Jiang Yuan answered accordingly. He had already explained An Xiaoyu's situation, and the guards didn't want to cause trouble for themselves, since she hadn't actually gotten close to the core area.
"That's good. The humans' movements have been very suspicious these past few days, and that human god of death has returned. Everyone must be extremely careful!" Ghost-faced Shrimp warned.
"Yes, sir!"
"Alright, then your guards will select a few people to go to the Endless Sea to maintain the teleportation array. Just make sure not to disturb Lord Han Hai."
The masked mantis shrimp gestured for Jiang Yuan to select a few people. Jiang Yuan nodded without changing his expression, but his subordinates behind him were filled with anger but dared not speak out.
"Damn it, this guy is just abusing his power for personal gain. Why doesn't he let Ghost-Faced Shrimp's men maintain the teleportation portal? He's making us, the Illusionary Snow Celestial Pigs, do this thankless and arduous task!" Old Six said indignantly.
"Yeah, whoever wants to go can go, I'm not going!"
Several team members expressed their resistance, as everyone knew that maintaining the teleportation portal could easily lead to it being swallowed up by the Starry Sky Array.
"Do you want to be punished for disobeying orders?" Jiang Yuan coldly reminded his team members.
"Never mind, let's go."
The sixth brother could only appease everyone first, and then asked Jiang Yuan, "Captain, should we ask your sister to help us switch to the Ghost-Faced Shrimp side to maintain the formation? After all, we suffered some losses because of this last time, and it would be a bit unreasonable to ask us to go again this time!"
Jiang Yuan frowned. He searched Asa's memories and learned about the connection.
First, maintaining the formation requires contact with the Endless Sea, which is an extremely dangerous place. Even just guarding outside the formation will lead to encounters with star-sea beasts. These are not the sea creatures on the Imperial Star, but the sea creatures in the starry sky.
The sea creatures of the ordinary ocean and the sea creatures of the starry sky are two completely different concepts. At the same level, the latter can easily tear apart the former.
As for Asa's older sister, Yawei, she is a sea maiden of extremely high status in the Illusionary Snow Pig Clan. Her own strength has reached the ninth level of the Divine Transformation Realm, and she is hailed as the most likely genius in the Illusionary Snow Pig Clan to become a god.
If he could ask Yawei for help, then his team would definitely not need to maintain the teleportation portal.
But who is he? He'd love for this to happen, so how could he possibly let it slip by?
"Come on, follow me to maintain the teleportation portal!"
