Searching the seabed by Taishan alone would be very slow.
However, the blue dragon is too large and too conspicuous, and it would be too dangerous to deal with if it were hiding at the bottom of the sea.
Therefore, Ye Chen had no choice but to be patient and wait for the exploration of Mount Tai.
Fortunately, with the Trident of Poseidon, Taishan doesn't need to go to the seabed to investigate in person. He only needs to use the trident to sense the direction of the ocean currents to roughly know if there are any anomalies.
"Splash~~~" Two hours later, Taishan, who had swum across the entire sea, finally returned to his territory and came to Ye Chen with an excited expression.
"Your Majesty, there is indeed something at the bottom of the sea, but the fluctuations are very slight, and we cannot figure out exactly what it is. We still need to go down to the bottom of the sea to find out."
"Really at the bottom of the sea?" Jian Mengyi exclaimed in surprise. Although she had already guessed it, she still felt a headache coming on when she actually confirmed it.
Ye Chen is alright, but her territory doesn't have an energy shield yet. If she suddenly plunges into the seabed, her entire territory will probably be submerged.
All crops, livestock, and even buildings on the territory will be destroyed.
Even with his energy shield, Ye Chen would still need to consume a huge amount of energy to enter the seabed, making it somewhat counterproductive.
“Indeed, there are abnormalities in the ocean currents on the seabed, and over a very large area. If there really is a lord, there is probably more than one!” Taishan said in a deep voice.
The area of the abnormal ocean currents he sensed on the seabed was extremely vast. If calculated based on Ye Chen's thousand-acre territory, there were probably three lords present.
If the territory is smaller, it is not impossible for there to be seven or eight lords.
"This is getting dangerous!" Ye Chen said, tapping his palm as he quickly considered a solution.
Restoring Mitchell like this is definitely not an option. Their divine power can detect this much information, but if they continue to investigate further, they will face enormous risks.
These people have stirred up the dark creatures on the entire planet Woolf, so they can't simply be lords who came to purify the dark energy. They must have more motives that they don't know about.
"How about we just give up? Let those remnant souls of the gods come over on their own?" Jian Mengyi suggested, not wanting to get involved in such a dangerous matter, but Ye Chen shook his head.
“If they were truly capable, they wouldn’t have let us come here. The dark creatures on the entire planet of Woolf are rampaging and they can’t even control them, let alone let them come to this ocean floor where there are no temples.”
After Ye Chen finished speaking, he turned his gaze back to Mount Tai.
"Taishan, go to the seabed and explore it carefully to see what's going on. But be sure to stay hidden. It's better to abandon the exploration and figure out another way than to alert the enemy!"
"Yes, sir!"
Taishan accepted the order and dived back into the sea, swimming in the direction of the abnormal ocean current he had sensed.
With the trident of Poseidon by his side, Mount Tai swam in the water like a mermaid and soon arrived at the pitch-black seabed.
However, as he continued to advance on Mount Tai, he suddenly saw specks of eerie blue light, which startled him so much that he quickly stopped.
Without moving forward, even from a great distance, Mount Tai could clearly see what those lights represented.
These are the same soul fires within Oros's body, each point of light representing an undead creature.
The entire seabed has been completely occupied by this group of undead creatures.
"This? This? So many undead creatures?" Taishan was shocked. He hid behind a coral reef and looked into the distance. In front of him was a slightly low-lying trench, but it was very large, comparable to a fertile plain on the ground.
On this plain, countless ghostly flames flickered densely, some small and faint, about the same size as the skeletons in Ye Chen's territory, while others were exceptionally bright, illuminating a small area of the sea, just like the skeletal dragon Oros.
Of course, the most dazzling area was the one in the center of the plain, where five bright soul flames burned quietly. Although they were not as large as other large soul flames, they were exceptionally white and bright, illuminating an area even larger than that of the large soul flames.
Moreover, under the illumination of the soulfire, Taishan could clearly see the faces of these people: two liches, three skeletons, and a person hidden in the darkness.
This person had a pale face and bright red lips. Unlike other undead creatures, he did not have a soul fire, yet he was able to live in the seabed as if nothing was wrong.
Taishan suppressed his doubts and returned to the sea, telling Ye Chen everything he had seen and heard.
"Two liches? Three skeletons? And a pale-faced person with bright red lips?" Ye Chen fell into deep thought. He could understand the first five, but what about the last one? And who was the leader among them?
"By the way, sir, besides these places illuminated by soul fire in that trench, there is also a dark area where people seem to be moving around."
"Someone came into contact with these skeletons and took a look by the light of the soul fire. They were also wearing English cloaks, and their faces were very pale, but their lips were as red as blood!"
Taishan recalled carefully and said, but Ye Chen was stunned when he heard his words.
"Wait? What did you say? Lips as red as blood?"
“That’s right!” Taishan nodded, not quite understanding, but Jian Mengyi’s eyes lit up.
"You're not going to say these are vampires, are you?" Jian Mengyi blurted out, startling everyone around her. But upon closer inspection, they really did look like them.
"Strictly speaking, vampires are dark creatures, not undead creatures. However, they are immortal, so in the past, in the West, they were often classified as undead creatures."
"Furthermore, vampires don't need to breathe, so it's not impossible that they could go deep into the ocean and travel with these undead creatures!"
Ye Chen analyzed, and after everyone listened to his words and thought about it carefully, they realized that it was indeed very likely.
“That’s six lords! And according to Titan, they have quite a few soulfires that are no weaker than Oros’s. What about us?” Jian Mengyi said worriedly. The opponent’s strength was far beyond theirs.
“So we should ask for help. This is a matter on Planet Woolf. If we really want to save it, we have to rely on their own gods!” Ye Chen said with a smile, taking out Mitchell’s token.
Instantly, a golden arrow of light, resembling a beacon, flew from Ye Chen's hand and headed towards Mitchell's temple.
