Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 118 Expedition Team
Tang Yu thought for a moment, then replied, "We didn't find any traps at the entrance, but the cave entrance is very small, only two or three meters in size, so we can't easily enter."

Only two or three meters in size?

Meng Zheng was a little speechless about Tang Yu's answer. Meng Zheng was more than five meters tall, and Tang Yu was more than four meters tall.

Like other aquatic creatures, mermaids grow in size as their strength increases. This is the influence of the environment.

In the vast underwater world, due to the effect of water, the influence of gravity is not very large, so there is no need to worry that your movements will slow down or your growth and development will be affected after your body size becomes larger.

On the contrary, the larger the body, the stronger the combat power, and the more spiritual energy and resources it can absorb.

This is definitely better than small creatures in terms of improving strength.

However, such a large size also has its troubles, that is, when faced with those narrow areas, it can only stare from the outside and cannot enter.

For example, the cave that Tang Yu discovered this time had such a small entrance that they couldn't get in at all. No wonder Tang Yu just watched from outside the cave and came back to report without exploring.

Although Meng Zheng also has the ability to transform, this is an ability given to Meng Zheng by his royal blood. Other mermaids do not have this ability.

At present, the mermaids of the Canghai tribe are newly born and have no cultivation. Their height is basically about two meters. This is a unit of length, including the tail of the dragon.

After practicing and breaking through to the early Yellow Stage, the body size will grow to two meters and five.

After reaching the middle stage of the Yellow Rank, each small stage will increase by half a meter. For example, Tang Yu, who is at the sixth level of the Yellow Rank, is already three meters and eighty centimeters long and is about to break through four meters.

"Then we can't bring the mermaids and the black-gold iron-clad crabs with us on this mission. Call Guluqua over and ask him to bring the remaining tidal murlocs and clam girls from the tribe and go with me." After calculating the power in his hands, Meng Zheng discovered that only the murlocs could be used.

Black gold iron-clad crabs are generally seven or eight meters long, so there is no need to think about it, but fishmen are different.

The average murloc is only about 1.4 meters tall, small in size, and weak in combat.

Even after obtaining the Tide Murloc Training Manual and evolving into a Tide Murloc, its size grew to about two meters, although it was still very petite.

But their overall strength has been improved to the mid-stage of yellow rank, which is similar to that of the mermaid shield spearman, and can be considered to be very powerful.

Therefore, in this operation, Meng Zheng decided to use the tidal fishman as the main force and the clam girl as the lord, to go on the adventure together with Meng Zheng.

Although the clam girl has a large clam shell, it is only two meters in size, so it should have no problem entering the cave for exploration.

After acquiring the Clam Girls, Meng Zheng had been letting them practice in the spring space, but it was time to pull them out to see their strength.

Not long after, Guluqua brought the Tide Merman and the Clam Girl to Meng Zheng.

With the development of the tribe, Gulugua lived an extremely comfortable life during this period. Not only did he no longer have to worry about the food and shelter of the merfolk, he could still lead his own merfolk tribe every day.

In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the tidal fishmen, Meng Zheng also equipped them with the tribe's latest Canglan armor and tridents.

These equipments are carefully crafted according to the body shape of the murlocs.

In the open space of Meng Zheng's lord's mansion, Gulugua arranged all the fishmen in an orderly manner. They were wearing azure armor and holding bone tridents, looking very majestic.

As for the clam girls, they stood on the other side of the tidal fishmen under Lanzhu's supervision, quietly waiting for Meng Zheng's arrival. Meng Zheng walked out of the lord's mansion and saw the team ready to go. He was very satisfied. This guy Gulugua just liked to do these things.

However, looking at the neatly arranged team before him, Meng Zheng couldn't help but feel a surge of pride. He walked up to Gulugua, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You know what we're going to do this time, right?"

Gulugua bowed respectfully and replied, "Don't worry, my king. Just watch! I, Gulugua, will not let you down!"

Meng Zheng nodded, then turned to the Tidal Mermaids and Clam Maidens and said, "This time we are going to explore a mysterious cave. There may be unknown dangers hidden inside. I hope everyone will fight bravely and conquer this cave for me."

Upon hearing this, the tidal fishmen shouted excitedly, and the tridents in their hands flashed coldly under the light of the glowing seaweed, showing their firm determination.

Although the clam girls did not make any sound, there was fearlessness in their eyes.

In this operation, since it was a cave exploration, too many people would be a hindrance, so there were only fifty fishmen and 24 clam girls.

But even with such a small number of people, it is enough.

Meng Zheng nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

Under the leadership of Meng Zheng, the team marched towards the cave in the southwest direction.

Tang Yu led the way, passing through dense aquatic plants, avoiding various potential threats, and finally arrived at the entrance of the cave.

The cave looks ordinary and there is nothing unusual about it.

Meng Zheng glanced at Tang Yu with a puzzled look, and Tang Yu immediately understood: "Chief, the changes here are continuous. The last time we came here, we happened to see the rune appear. Later, to make sure we were not mistaken, we waited for a long time."

Hearing this, Meng Zheng nodded in understanding. Yes, if it were so obvious.

It can't be considered a secret place. In fact, the entrance of the cave is very hidden, and is tightly covered by a large amount of seaweed, corals and other creatures.

If these things had not been cleared away during the battle, such a cave would never have been discovered.

Looking at the narrow cave entrance in front of him, Meng Zheng frowned. Now he had no idea what was in the cave.

Although Meng Zheng could shrink his body and get in, a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall.

For this cave exploration, Meng Zheng decided to wait outside, looking forward to good news from Gurugua.

He turned to Gulugua and said, "Gulugua, lead the Tidal Murlocs in to explore the way first. Be careful."

Gulugua nodded and looked at the dark cave entrance in front of him. Although he was very scared, he suppressed his fear and waved his hand to let a team of tidal fishmen go in to explore.

Gulugua thought clearly about this operation. If they didn't perform better, the murloc tribe would completely become a laboring race and lose all chance to fight.

As the smartest member of the merman tribe, Gulugua knew very well that if he relied solely on hard labor, he would always be at the bottom of the tribe. Only by participating in battles and providing soldiers could he climb up step by step without worrying about being abandoned or humiliated.

Following Gulugua's command, a team of five tidal murlocs, armed with tridents, carefully stepped into the narrow cave entrance. Their movements were swift and cautious, and every step seemed to be testing the unknown ahead.
