Over the next few days, people poured sand and gravel into the sea every day, as if they wanted to fill in the bay.
They dared not go into the sea, and wanted to use this method to make the sea dragon float directly to the surface.
The long-legged crabs sent by Ugly Eight were quite helpful. They threw sand and gravel on it, and the long-legged crabs carried the sand and gravel out of the bay, and dug a few more holes along the way.
Feeding them is also a physically demanding task. Xiang Wan killed almost all the black sharks and other ferocious fish in the bay before the long-legged crabs were barely fed enough.
In addition, the sea dragon also needed to recover its strength, so Xiang Wan and the siren lured more black sharks and megalodons and fed them into the sea dragon's mouth.
Fortunately, the sea dragon didn't need to surface for air like a whale every now and then; otherwise, her and the sirens' actions would have been exposed sooner or later.
After several days of adding sand and gravel, the water level in the bay didn't decrease; instead, the bubbles increased. Long Yue guessed that more and more long-legged crabs were coming here, and continuing like this would be futile.
However, Long Yue did not stop the strongmen who were moving sand and gravel. Instead, he sent many more strong orcs and Tianhu people to work day and night.
At the same time, Xiang Wan felt a faint pungent smell in the seawater, and her skin also felt a burning sensation.
Siren and the others didn't know what was going on, but Xiang Wan did. Long Yue had someone mix a lot of lime into the sand and gravel. Lime releases a lot of heat when it comes into contact with water, and at the same time makes the water alkaline, which burns the skin.
A small amount of lime will naturally not have a significant impact on marine life, but if lime is continuously thrown into the bay, it will eventually cook the sea dragons.
Marine life, including Xiang Wan, can no longer come ashore.
Long Yue had a brilliant plan, and Xiang Wan had a way to cross the bridge. Since the sea dragon couldn't escape, then let humanity suffer the consequences of their own actions.
Under cover of darkness, Xiang Wan stood guard by the shore where the wind blew as usual and used a dream-making technique on him. In his dream, everything was the same as usual, even his conversation with Long Yue was normal.
After Long Yue left, Lue Feng used illusion magic on the people who were carrying sand and gravel, making them believe that only by entering the sea could they truly capture the sea dragon.
So, many orcs, along with the sand and gravel carts, jumped into the sea. Even when Long Yue noticed and hurriedly sent people to stop them, he couldn't stop these people who were determined to jump into the sea.
Long Yue flew into a rage and gave Lue Feng a severe scolding. Lue Feng lowered his head, looking extremely ashamed, and jumped into the bay amidst Long Yue's reprimand.
Such an unusual thing happened right under Long Yue's nose, forcing him to rethink what exactly went wrong.
Besides Luefeng, there are a few other members of the Tianhu clan who can cast illusions, but none of them are as powerful as Luefeng.
Having lost his right-hand man, Long Yue ordered everyone to stop the land reclamation work.
While the long-legged crabs were carrying sand and gravel, they didn't forget to use their claws to cut the giant logs used to build the fence.
Cut the bottom of the stake to a size that would be enough for the sea dragon to knock it over.
The humans who fell into the sea all became prey for the long-legged crabs and sea dragons, which solved their food problem. But this was far from enough. Because the Water Tigers' determination to conquer the ocean did not waver in the slightest because of Dragon Joy's defeat. On the contrary, they prepared huge ships and headed towards the nearby deep sea.
Each ship had a huge prey hanging from its bow, indicating that they were specifically there to catch deep-sea monsters.
Few sea monsters could resist such temptation. Especially since each of those ships had potential users who could control seabirds and sea beasts. Even if the sea monsters didn't take the bait immediately, they could still inflict heavy casualties on them.
Shuihu never showed up; he was nowhere to be seen on any of the ships or by the bay.
The fact that Shuihu could so confidently entrust important tasks to his subordinates shows just how far he had gone in manipulating people's hearts.
Xiang Wan could no longer worry about Hailong. Its strength had recovered, and it could break through the fence and escape at any time. The long-legged crabs had been helping it the whole time, so there was nothing to worry about.
After giving instructions to the leading crab, Xiang Wan and Siren headed towards the giant ship heading into the depths of the ocean.
Once they were off the shore, Xiang Wan had no intention of letting the people on the boats return to land.
Every time Xiang Wan saves a sea monster, she leaves a mark on its mind and uses a horn as a signal. Anyone who hears the sound must rush to her side, or their mental power will be destroyed, turning them into instinctive creatures without any independent consciousness.
This is an ability that Xiang Wan discovered by chance when she rescued a deep-sea manta ray.
The arrival of Xiang Wan changed the original owner's fate, and naturally brought about these unexpected changes. Even the system was not very clear about them, and could only leave it to her to figure them out slowly.
The manta ray was extremely agitated because it had mistakenly swallowed bait that had sunk deep into the sea. The bait contained a hook that had become lodged inside its mouth, and it couldn't break free no matter how hard it struggled. When Xiang went to rescue it, he was almost pricked by the sharp spines on its tail.
The stingers on a manta ray's tail are highly venomous. Even with Xiang Wan's incredible regenerative abilities, being stung by such a massive manta ray could be fatal.
In her anger, Xiang Wan impulsively spoke, trying to stop the manta ray from moving. Unexpectedly, it heard her; the fluctuations of its mental energy entered Xiang Wan's mind, allowing her to directly sense the magnitude of its mental power, which seemed capable of devouring her.
This is too incredible; Xiang Wan was somewhat stunned.
Seeing the worried look in the Sirens' eyes, Xiang Wan finally decided to leave a mark for summoning purposes.
