Zuan recognized the true nature of the grayish-white gas at first glance. After all, he was the lord of the Netherworld and was quite sensitive to death energy.
However, the deathly aura here seemed somewhat different from what he was familiar with.
Because this deathly aura seemed to be highly contagious, any dragon guards who were tainted by this grayish-white aura instantly became gray and decayed, as if they had suddenly turned from a colorful world into a black and white picture.
Moreover, the other dragon guards injured by them will quickly be infected with that grayish-white aura, and then turn around and attack the normal guards who were just fighting side by side. This is why the place is in complete chaos, and even the four dragon kings are caught off guard.
The deathly aura was clearly surging up from the depths of the canyon, and it seemed to be increasing in speed.
"Array Master! Array Master! Quickly go down and seal the breach!" The Dragon King of the East Sea roared in shock and anger. He never expected that the sea eye, which had been safe and sound for over a thousand years, would be destroyed in his hands. Wouldn't he become the sinner of the entire dragon race?
However, he quickly forgot about his historical status and began to worry about something else. The deathly aura was spreading so fast that almost in the blink of an eye, many of the troops he had brought with him were infected with the deathly aura and turned into monsters that only knew how to kill.
The key issue is that whether you are corroded by death energy or bitten or scratched by those monsters, you will get infected very quickly.
Moreover, these monsters were their close friends and relatives not long ago!
Even the mighty Iron Army couldn't hold out.
The soldiers were all terrified of becoming like that. If the Four Dragon Kings hadn't personally overseen the battle, the army would probably have collapsed long ago.
But they also knew that morale was now at its lowest point, and they were unsure how long they could hold out. The entire army could scatter at any moment.
If this place falls, then these deathly auras and monsters will be out of control and will soon spread throughout the entire Dragon Palace.
At that time, with the Dragon Palace as the center, the entire sea race will eventually be turned into a dead zone.
"Where are the guards?!" the Dragon King of the East Sea roared.
"The garrison is here!" Soon, a series of powerful responses rang out, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred dragon experts rushed out from all directions, each with a resolute expression on their face.
The Dragon King of the East Sea had a complicated expression on his face. He said nothing and respectfully bowed to them.
All the sea creatures nearby who were free to do so bowed to them, many of them seemingly with tears in their eyes.
The four Dragon Kings led their subordinates in bowing, which the guards accepted with composure.
One of the leaders gathered the crowd and then roared, "For fifteen hundred years, the sea tribes have nurtured warriors, and today is the day to uphold righteousness and die for their principles!"
As he spoke, he activated his cultivation technique, and suddenly golden light emanated from his body.
"To die for righteousness is the day!"
The hundred guards became excited and began to circulate their internal energy, their bodies radiating golden light.
Then, led by their leader, they charged directly at those deathly monsters.
Wherever it passed, it smashed a large hole in the group of monsters.
Soon, grayish-white death energy surged up during the process, but when it came into contact with the golden light on their bodies, it recoiled as if it had been burned.
With their addition, the sea creature army finally managed to stabilize its formation somewhat.
The guards did not stop, but continued to rush into the canyon where the death aura was most concentrated. Soon, the golden light disappeared into the gray-white death aura.
But not long after, the speed at which the death energy was spreading out from below slowed down considerably.
Having gained this respite, the four Dragon Kings hurriedly commanded their armies to charge forward, forcing all the monsters toward the canyon above the sea eye.
"Your Majesty, what are guards?" Princess Peacock was filled with curiosity as she saw the battle turn around with the addition of those people.
The Mermaid Queen's expression was complicated: "The Guardians are the most loyal, upright, and steadfast warriors in the Dragon Clan throughout history. They have passed down their traditions from generation to generation. They enjoy the best resources of all the sea creatures on ordinary days, but once the Sea Eye is in trouble, their mission is to suppress the Sea Eye at all costs, even at the cost of their own lives."
Zuan also said in a deep voice, "The golden light on their bodies just now must be from a special technique they cultivated, which allowed them to unleash all their life force in a short period of time, and it seems they also had the power of faith, which is why they were able to suppress the death energy to some extent."
"But the deathly aura is so thick down there, how can they suppress the sea eye?" Princess Peacock's words were full of worry. Although they were not of the same race, she still admired the warriors who were so fearless.
"Repair the damaged formation, and if necessary, fill the sea eye with our lives." The mermaid queen's voice trembled slightly, clearly indicating that her emotions were not as calm as she appeared.
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Princess Peacock was immediately stunned.
"This is their mission, and it is also the mission of the entire sea race." The Mermaid Queen sighed softly. "Since the beginning of recorded history, countless generations of guards have protected the sea eye, the entire sea race, and even the world in this way."
"Who gave you this mission?" Zuan suddenly asked in a deep voice.
The Mermaid Queen was taken aback, and subconsciously replied, "Perhaps it is the will of the Sea God, but every sea creature is aware of this, because this is our home, and how can we allow this deathly aura to pollute and destroy our home?"
Zuan nodded thoughtfully, and just then, another unexpected event occurred.
Just as the Four Dragon Kings and their sea army were about to bring the situation under control, hundreds of massive monsters suddenly emerged from below the strait.
Some had bull heads and human bodies, while others had horse faces and human bodies. Each of them had bulging muscles and exceptionally robust physiques, even larger than the elite warriors of the sea tribe.
The minotaur wielded a giant axe, while the horse-faced monster held a trident-like weapon.
Other monsters have bulging eyes and fangs, fierce faces, golden headbands, red embroidered robes, and hold half a golden yoke in each hand as a weapon.
Another monster-like creature nearby also wore a golden headband, but was dressed in a blue robe and swung a silver chain in its hand.
As soon as these monsters emerged, they howled excitedly, followed by a strange, enigmatic laugh: "Finally, we've seen the light of day again!"
Each of them possessed immense strength, wielding enormous weapons with unstoppable force.
The sea creature army's front line was instantly crushed.
Seeing this, the four Dragon Kings had no choice but to lead the sea creatures to charge forward themselves. However, those monsters were all exceptionally powerful. Many of them, despite being severely injured by the Dragon Kings, had their wounds heal at an extremely fast speed in the next second, and quickly got up and rejoined the battlefield.
"What kind of monsters are these?!" Princess Peacock's pretty face turned pale as she looked at them, feeling that they were even more terrifying than those extraterrestrial demons, no, even more terrifying than many extraterrestrial demons.
Zu An looked solemn. He recognized the figures of these people; they seemed to be the ghost messengers Ox-Head and Horse-Face from the Netherworld, as well as the Shackled General.
But they seem different from the ghost messengers, lacking a certain divinity.
Moreover, he had originally intended to secretly control them, but found that he was unable to sense them at all.
