Chapter 124: Sea Clan Invades the Nest

Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Sea Clan Invades the Nest

On the eleventh day of the activity, the Wind Shadow Jade officially ended its reproduction period.

The newborn Wind Shadow was driven by the adults into a crack deep within the nest, beneath which lay an exceptionally rich deep-sea metal mine.

Chen Qing’s previous guess was not wrong; there indeed was a mine beneath the Wind Shadow Jade’s nest.

Moreover, it was not lacking in reserves; it contained many gemstones.

This was also one of the characteristics of the Gem Sea, where various veins always contained some gemstones of assorted colors.

The Wind Shadow Jade only built nests on these veins, and once the newborns were born, they were driven into these veins.

The young Wind Shadow would independently perfect itself within the vein and, once it had grown sufficiently, would leave the vein and join the main force of Wind Shadow Jade before the outbreak of the Gemstone Hurricane.

However, that would likely be a matter for next year.

While Chen Qing was observing the young Wind Shadow, the Sea Clan outside the nest was already preparing to formally initiate an attack on the Wind Shadow Jade.

Based on their past experience, they had prepared appropriate weapons and tools; the presence of Mechanics was indispensable, of course.

The teams from other forces were also ready, biding their time and prepared to rob at any moment.

When the Sea Clan’s team entered the nest and began to delve deeper, they suddenly discovered something was amiss.

Why was the Wind Shadow Jade’s nest eerily quiet? This situation had never occurred before.

But now, it was impossible for them to leave.

Even though they had discovered that there were some issues inside the Wind Shadow Jade that they were unaware of, they still had to venture deeper.

After all, Wind Shadow Jade was just a bunch of machinery; as long as they found its hatch, dealing with it would be quite easy.

The Sea Clan had sacrificed who knows how many of their kin to finally figure out a trick for dealing with Wind Shadow Jade.

However, these Sea Clan could never have expected that the Wind Shadow Jade had already "transformed."

What they were facing was not the Wind Shadow Jade, but the equally intelligent being, Chen Qing.

Compared to Wind Shadow Jade, the biggest advantage of the Sea Clan was their speed, being extremely agile underwater.

Clearly, this was something the Wind Shadow Jade could not achieve; being large in size made them too cumbersome against the Sea Clan.

But that was completely irrelevant, as Chen Qing could compensate for this shortcoming for them.

The speed of the Blast Battle Rabbit and Mini Rabbit was extremely agile; never underestimate the flexibility of rabbits.

When the Sea Clan formally stepped into the attack range of the Wind Shadow Jade, all they saw were Wind Shadow Jade quietly floating in the water within the nest.

Everything seemed no different from usual.

Yet they always felt something was off, but couldn’t quite put their finger on it.

"Young Clan Leader, what should we do next?"

A member of the Sea Clan softly inquired of one of the candidates for the successor of the Sea Clan leader, Sea Clan Zhuoshui.

Zhuoshui’s appearance was that of a mermaid, perfectly beautiful by human standards, androgynous.

Among a group of Sea Clan with peculiar and strange appearances, he stood out significantly.

Already devastatingly beautiful, he became even more stunning amid the backdrop of other Sea Clan.

Of course, in the Sea Clan, appearance was one of the constantly popular factors, and strength was equally important.

Zhuoshui excelled in both these aspects.

Right now, this beauty was furrowing his brows tightly, staring intently at the Wind Shadow Jade ahead.

His instinct told him that there definitely was a problem here.

Yet, he could not pinpoint exactly what the problem was.

Something dangerous was definitely lurking beneath this calm.

But that shouldn’t be the case.

Zhuoshui furrowed his brow and remained silent for a long time, under his arrangement, it was absolutely impossible for anyone to breach the Sea Clan’s defense.

Those human forces couldn’t snatch the Wind Shadow Jade, this piece of fat meat, from their hands.

But still...

In any case, a retreat was out of the question.

He had barely snatched this task from his competitors, and whether he failed or returned without success, his position would be on shaky ground.

If the clan leader was angry, he might directly strip him of his heir position.

As Zhuoshui hesitated, the usually quiet and non-aggressive Wind Shadow Jade suddenly launched an attack on the Sea Clan.

In the darkness, huge pupils flashing with red light suddenly opened, staring at the invaders who had entered their lair, emitting a dangerous aura.

"Young Clan Leader... it seems there is—"

The words were not yet finished, when the entire lair’s Wind Shadow Jade suddenly charged towards the Sea Clan members.

Their massive bodies hit them unexpectedly, scattering their formations completely!

However, the Sea Clan members were skilled at dealing with Wind Shadow Jade.

Under Zhuoshui’s command, the Sea Clan members, who had become somewhat panicked due to the upheaval caused by Wind Shadow Jade, immediately calmed down and began to attack Wind Shadow Jade in an orderly manner.

Some drew the attention of Wind Shadow Jade in the front, while the rest took the opportunity to climb onto Wind Shadow Jade and started dismantling its shell.

They had just been in "production," and the "production" outlet on the shell of Wind Shadow Jade wouldn’t erase all traces so quickly, there would definitely be some energy fluctuations left.

What the Sea Clan needed to do was enter the interior of Wind Shadow Jade and destroy its power core.

Although they knew the power core of Wind Shadow Jade was also very valuable, there was no other way; to gain something, something else must be lost.

The process had to be quick, the attack power of a sea beast like Wind Shadow Jade was no joke; even a slight delay could possibly result in the death of a few more compatriots.

Although the Sea Clan had calmed down, those focused on finding the production outlet did not realize that their mission this time was unusually smooth.

Zhuoshui, as the leader, also failed to notice there was something wrong with the number of Wind Shadow Jades in the lair.

When a Sea Clan Mechanic quickly dismantled the exterior of the production outlet, she thought her skills had greatly improved.

She and A Zhiqiu belonged to the same lineage of the Sea Clan, both had tentacles for their lower halves, making them much more efficient than other mechanics.

But, just as an entrance appeared on the body of Wind Shadow Jade, and the battle-ready Sea Clan were about to swarm it...

Suddenly! A massive hammer fell from the sky!

It viciously struck the heads of the Sea Clan members, smashing them into confusion!

Screams erupted suddenly, and Zhuoshui, the overall commander of this operation, felt his unease growing stronger.

The struck Sea Clan members barely lifted their heads, only to meet the cheap and repulsive faces of the Muscle Turtles.

"!!!"

And beside the Muscle Turtles, were the Mini Rabbits, wielding hammers and looking stern.

However, beneath the Mini Rabbits’ small stature and seemingly clumsy appearance, even their frosty expressions couldn’t hide a certain cute charm.

A large number of Sea Clan members were caught off guard by the Mini Rabbits and Muscle Turtles and tumbled from the Wind Shadow Jade, barely stabilizing themselves.

"Change formation! Sea Demon’s Song!"

Seeing this scene, Zhuoshui made a resolute decision.
