Chapter 339 is going to verify something.
The giant wave receded, pushing Raman directly in front of Cecilia.
"Cough cough..." Raman coughed violently several times.
As a mermaid, he choked on the water.
The river bound Raman, and rain suddenly began to fall on the heads of the orcs on the riverbank not far away, forcing them to hurry back to their tribe.
"What's going on with this rain? It hasn't rained in the tribe."
"I don't know, but was that Raman just now...?"
"..."
The beastmen had another topic of gossip to discuss.
In the babbling river, Cecilia no longer sat by the riverbank, but stood in the water, her azure eyes coldly watching Raman.
"explain!"
Raman was bound by the river and unable to move, but there was no panic on his face. Instead, he smiled and negotiated terms.
“I can tell you, but Haizu and Your Highness, could you please not tell Jiang Xi the reason why I was exiled to the cursed land?”
Cecilia narrowed her eyes and let out a cold laugh.
"You think you can marry her?"
Raman smiled casually.
"How can it be just me? Every orc in the entire Cursed Land would want to marry Jiang Xi, the female envoy."
"Isn't the reason why Haizu and His Highness the Prince are staying at the female envoy's house?"
Haisia's brows were still furrowed.
"Raman, an orc like you is not good enough for her."
"Since you've brought it up, I'll tell her the reason for your exile today."
Raman's eyes flickered slightly.
"Don't Haizu and His Highness the Prince want to know about the situation of that person from the Dark Lake Tribe?"
"As far as I know..."
When Raman saw them looking at him, he changed the subject.
"The Dark Lake tribe consists of aquatic beastmen who rarely travel between the seven tribes."
Cecilia's face darkened.
"court death!"
With that, he raised his hand and waved it, sending a giant wave crashing Raman onto the shore.
Raman groaned and lay prone on the shore as if stranded. His red-scaled tail slapped against the wet seaweed, and a trace of bright red blood trickled down between his scales. A bit of bright red also spilled from his lips.
"hehe."
Raman wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, sneered as he propped himself up and looked at Haizu and Haixia.
"Is this the Heavenly Rank power of the Dragonfish bloodline?"
"I wonder, how does Lord Haizu's power compare to that of the other one?"
"Since Lord Haizu has come to the Cursed Land, why not go to the Dark Lake Tribe? Is it because you are afraid?"
"The Dragonfish Clan can only produce one true dragon in a generation, right? Is the Sea Ancestor afraid? Afraid that he, who carries dragon blood, will be defeated by someone who steals his bloodline?"
Seeing the ancestor's grim face, Haixia shouted at Raman, "Shut up!"
The water rippled, and a sound that only the underwater beastmen could hear carried along the river.
Before long, the sea creatures arrived one after another.
The surging river swept Raman, who was standing on the riverbank, back into the water, making his face even paler.
Cecilia's face darkened.
“Take him away and pry his mouth open. I need to know everything about the Dark Lake tribe.”
After saying that, he looked at Raman with dark blue eyes, his voice chillingly cold.
"Now that the message from the Dark Lake Tribe has been delivered to me, how could I possibly refuse it?"
"A thief will always be a thief, and so will you."
When Raman saw that his plan had failed, a hint of panic appeared in his eyes.
His supernatural powers were sealed, and seeing that the sea beastmen were about to capture him, he swam back a few steps and hurriedly spoke.
"That person might be eyeing the Cursed Lands!"
Cecilia raised her hand, and the sea monsters stopped respectfully.
Explain clearly.
Raman swallowed hard, recalling the scene he had seen before he left.
"I'm not sure, but most of the Dark Lake tribes have become cursed lands."
"That half of the underwater world is inhabited by cursed aquatic creatures..."
Raman paused for a moment, then continued.
"That one...that one has always been on the other side of the Dark Lake...The aquatic beastmen of the Dark Lake tribe worship him as their beast god, offering sacrifices every year to send the beastmen to the other side, praying for peace in the coming year..."
Raman shuddered at the thought of those scarlet beast eyes underwater.
Cecilia's azure eyes were filled with contemplation.
He looked up at the light screen on the towering, brownish-red wall.
During the day, the light curtain is not very noticeable in the sunlight.
He murmured, "Impossible..."
After a moment, his gaze hardened, and he made a decision.
Cecilia spared Raman, but she didn't let him off the hook either.
That afternoon, he bid farewell to Jiang Xi and, with the sea beastmen and Raman, left the Lion Roar Tribe, heading towards the Dark Lake Tribe by waterway.
Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment.
"Lu Liufeng and the others haven't even reached the Earth Rank yet..."
Cecilia: "I'm leaving Hysia to you. He can briefly unleash the strength of the Earth Rank. Combined with your Rank Serpent Beastman, that's enough. Outside the Cursed Land, the orcs, whether Heaven Rank or Earth Rank, will be suppressed. The old man of the Holy Deer Clan can keep you here in the Royal Court, but in the Cursed Land, only you can keep him here."
He discovered this when he applied the power pressure to Lu Liufeng and the others. Their powers had grown and broken through under the power of the curse, or for some other reason, they had fully adapted to the power of the curse and were no longer suppressed.
Jiang Xi glanced at Hai Xiya, then at Hai Zu, who was determined to leave.
"Why don't you take Haisia with you?"
Haisia appears to have just entered the fourth major stage, still in the initial stage.
A brief display of Earth-rank strength? That's not even as good as Nafiel and Nakan.
If you're going to owe someone a favor, owe them the favor that maximizes your benefit.
He's so half-baked, he won't be of much help, and we'd have to take care of him anyway, so it's better not to help him at all.
Cecilia: "He will satisfy you."
Jiang Xi: "..."
That's a very ambiguous statement.
The sun was already setting in the west, not a good time to leave. Jiang Xi thought she should keep him a little longer so she could ask him more questions, so she spoke up.
"It's getting late. Why don't you leave tomorrow morning? If you set off now, you won't be able to travel far before you have to stop and spend the night."
Cecilia shook her head.
"There's no time left."
He turned to leave, but then paused, turned back to look at Jiang Xi, and his gaze deepened as he looked at her face.
"I will be back soon. You, you must not go into the cursed land."
"I'm going to... verify something."
Jiang Xi was full of questions and quickly pressed for answers.
"Explain yourself clearly."
But the only response she received was the "plop" of the water entering the vessel, black scales shimmering underwater, and long ripples spreading rapidly across the surface.
Soon, the river returned to calm.
The afternoon sun hangs at the end of the long river, outlining a hazy, golden oil painting among the undulating mountains.
Jiang Xi scratched her head and looked towards Hai Xiya.
"What happened?"
Haisia gave a general account of what Raman had said about the Dark Lake Tribe. Finally, after thinking for a moment, he decided to tell the story of the person from the Dark Lake Tribe.
"The Dark Lake tribe may have a sea ancestor who has lived for a thousand years..."
