All team members gathered on "Peach Blossom Spring" Island.
Luo Xinglan quickly found Jiang Xiaomei in the crowd.
She quickly walked over to Jiang Xiaomei and nodded to Ding Xiaoling.
When Jiang Xiaomei saw her, she obediently called her "Sister Xinglan".
Luo Xinglan patted her shoulder, her tone encouraging: "I look forward to your even better performance."
Jiang Xiaomei nodded, her eyes shining: "I'll become more and more amazing! Just like you!"
Luo Xinglan nodded to her, and then led a team to the seabed.
As soon as she reached the seabed, she sensed something unusual.
The protective membrane was wide open, but no alien creature managed to penetrate it.
Even outside the protective membrane, it was pitch black, with no trace of any alien creatures.
It was as if they had never been there.
Everyone was baffled by what they were seeing. Since they couldn't communicate verbally underwater, they typed in the group chat.
Lin Yu: "What happened? Why are there not a single alien creature left?"
Jiang Mingze: "Yes, this morning there were countless alien creatures vying to get through the protective membrane, but now we can't see a single one... This is very strange."
Xiao Lin: "Did they know we had discovered their weakness and retreated?"
Ding Cheng: "Really? Were they scared away? Are we that powerful?"
Li Lin: "I don't think so. If they were really afraid of us, they would have run away long ago. Why would they wait until now?"
Liu Di: "I don't know why, but I suddenly had a bad feeling."
After he sent the message, the group immediately fell silent.
Everyone realized that something was wrong.
Luo Xinglan frowned and gestured for everyone to retreat first.
Regardless of the situation, her instinct was to leave first; she had a feeling that this place had become extremely dangerous.
The group quickly returned to "Peach Blossom Spring" Island.
Luo Xinglan contacted Ouyang Aotian to ask if their team had noticed anything unusual during the operation.
Ouyang Aotian, unaware of what had happened, immediately teleported over.
Seeing that all the team members were there, he knew something was wrong.
Before he could ask, Luo Xinglan said in a deep voice, "All the alien creatures in the seabed have disappeared."
Ouyang Aotian frowned slightly: "Disappeared? Not a single one of them?"
Luo Xinglan nodded: "Yes, not one is left, as if they had never been here."
Ouyang Aotian: "There was nothing unusual about our team during the battle, which means they disappeared sometime after our battle ended."
Luo Xinglan remained silent and did not speak.
She didn't know why the alien creatures had suddenly disappeared.
After a moment, she said, "We don't know what the situation is right now, so we've told the team members not to go to the seabed rashly and to stay home and be on standby."
Ouyang Aotian looked at her and said, "In that case, if anything changes... we won't be able to find out immediately."
Luo Xinglan: "So someone needs to go to the seabed to check the situation regularly. I have the highest combat strength here, so I'll take charge of this."
Ouyang Aotian didn't want her to take the risk alone: "My combat skills are not low either, let's take turns checking together."
Luo Xinglan nodded: "Alright, then let's leave it at that for now. You can let everyone go back first, and I'll go take another look at the seabed."
As Luo Xinglan spoke, she disappeared from the spot.
Ouyang Aotian dismissed everyone, thought for a moment, and then used a teleportation talisman to arrive at the bottom of the sea.
Luo Xinglan was staring thoughtfully at the cave entrance when Ouyang Aotian followed her gaze but found nothing.
The two returned quickly.
Luo Xinglan: "You go back first, I'll go find the Deep Sea Turtle and explain the situation."
Ouyang Aotian nodded, then said hesitantly, "You...you don't need to worry too much, I'm here, we're here."
Luo Xinglan nodded slightly, her expression solemn.
Ouyang Aotian glanced at her again, then turned and left.
The next moment, Luo Xinglan returned to the armored ship and knocked on the door of the Deep Sea Turtle.
His still weak voice came from inside: "Come in."
Luo Xinglan pushed open the door and entered, only to see the Deep Sea Turtle leaning against the bed, its face pale.
Upon seeing her arrive, the deep-sea turtle frowned slightly: "What happened?"
Luo Xinglan walked to the bedside, picked up a chair and sat down: "The alien creature suddenly disappeared."
Deep-sea turtle: "Disappeared? What happened then?"
Luo Xinglan: "We did not see them disappear. When I led the team to the seabed, they had already disappeared."
"Disappeared suddenly..." the deep-sea turtle murmured, "Could they be plotting something?"
Luo Xinglan: "I was worried about that too, so I've been going to the seabed to check on things regularly lately."
The deep-sea turtle suddenly asked, "Do you think the tears in the seabed's protective membrane can be repaired?"
Luo Xinglan asked in confusion, "How could I know things that even you don't know?"
The deep-sea turtle gave a wry smile. "Yes, I was just being delusional."
Luo Xinglan comforted her, "Take good care of yourself. Things will work themselves out. Maybe we'll find a way to repair the protective film later."
The deep-sea turtle, still pale, nodded upon hearing this: "Yes, you've worked hard too."
Luo Xinglan got up and left.
As soon as she entered the living room, she saw the thief and Milk squatting on the windowsill, looking at the sea outside, as if waiting for someone.
Luo Xinglan stepped forward, looked at the sea shrouded in pale green miasma, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you two doing?"
The master thief didn't even turn his head: "I'm waiting for someone."
"Waiting for someone?" Luo Xinglan asked curiously. "Waiting for whom?"
Milk: "Frog cubs and little invisible ones."
Luo Xinglan asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why are you two suddenly waiting for them?"
I've never seen the big thief or milk frogs before.
Why are you acting so strangely today?
The master thief, with an unfathomable expression, said, "It's all because of you."
Luo Xinglan was even more puzzled: "For me?"
The thief smiled, suddenly resembling a domineering CEO: "As my master, all you need to do is be happy."
Luo Xinglan looked confused.
What's wrong with this guy?
What's been going on so strangely lately?
The domineering CEO-thief smiled indulgently: "You'll know when the frog comes back."
Luo Xinglan was preoccupied with the sudden disappearance of the alien creature, so she didn't ask any further questions. She simply told the thief seriously not to read any strange books before leaving.
Milk looked at the thief with some confusion: "Why didn't you tell the master just now?"
The thief looked at him with disdain: "Whether the frog cub can bring back the Frog God is still unknown. If I tell the master, and the frog cub fails to bring back the Frog God, wouldn't that be a slap in my face?"
Milk: "Okay."
The thief gazed at the vast sea and prayed silently, "Little frog, you must bring back the Frog God!"
