Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 120: Dragon's Power Appears
As the team went deeper into the cave, the scene inside gradually unfolded before them.

The cave is long, narrow, low and winding. Fortunately, the troops entering are small in size.

Otherwise, in this environment, once a battle breaks out, even turning around would be difficult.

Suddenly, there was a slight noise ahead, as if something were moving. The fishmen immediately became alert, gripping their tridents tightly and preparing for battle. Gulugua even walked to the front of the group, scanning the surroundings with his sharp eyes.

Not far ahead, I saw a huge crab hiding in the shadow of the rock. Its eyes flashed with cold light, as if it was spying on the invading team.

This is a cave stone crab. It is huge in size and has a shell as hard as stone. It likes to live in this kind of cave entrance.

Usually, they like to hide in caves like stones, quietly waiting for prey to appear.

The previous team had fewer people and did not wake up the stone crabs, but this time Gulugua brought in dozens of people, and the noise directly woke up the sleeping stone crabs.

Seeing the appearance of the cave stone crab, Gulugua was not afraid at all. Compared with the black and gold armored crabs in the tribe, this stone crab was just a small shrimp.

He immediately gave orders to the tidal fishmen behind him: "Come on, I want to eat crab meat."

Then he smiled at Lan Zhu beside him and said, "You two take a break, let us take care of this guy."

Lanzhu nodded without saying much.

Following Gulugua's command, the tidal fishmen acted quickly and formed a circle around the cave stone crab.

The three-pronged fork in his hand flashed with cold light, ready to launch an attack.

The cave crab was obviously startled by the sudden attack. Its huge body seemed a little clumsy in the narrow cave and it was unable to react quickly.

But it is the overlord of this place after all, and its shell is extremely hard and cannot be penetrated by ordinary attacks, so it is not panicked.

It raises two pincers, one large and one small, ready to attack at any time.

"Go!" Gulugua shouted again, rushing towards the cave crab first. The three-pronged fork in his hand drew a brilliant trajectory in the air, piercing the crab's vital point.

The tidal fishmen also launched attacks, their three-pronged forks intertwined in the air to form a dense net.
It enveloped the cave stone crab.

However, the stone crab's shell was too hard, and even under the siege of so many people, only some shallow scratches were left.

During this time, he swung his big claws and almost caught the Tidal Murloc several times.

Especially when Gulugua attacks, its whole body emits yellow light, and a layer of stone armor covers its already hard carapace.

Looking at the stone crab's defense, Gulugua knew that this couldn't go on.

"It seems I have to use some tricks." Gulugua said in his heart.

He quickly retreated, while activating his spiritual power. The three-pronged fork in his hand suddenly shone brightly, as if it were given life.

"Tidal impact!" Gulugua shouted, and swung the three-pronged fork in his hand forward suddenly. A torrent of water instantly gushed out and rushed towards the cave stone crab.

The cave stone crab was pushed back repeatedly by the sudden water flow, and some cracks appeared on the defense of its shell.

Seeing this, a hint of joy flashed in Gulugua's eyes. He knew that his attack had worked.

"Everyone, work harder, it's almost dying!" Gulugua shouted.

Upon hearing this, the morale of the Tidal Fishmen was boosted, and they attacked even more fiercely.

Three-pronged forks of cold light intertwined in the air, and countless streams of water rushed out, slamming fiercely into the cave crab's back, directly shattering its armor and then attacking its shell. The tidal fishmen were very cunning, always occupying the terrain of the cave and keeping a close eye on each other.

Even though the stone crab would occasionally launch earth spikes and stone spikes, it never hit once.

Instead, it was beaten back step by step by the attacks of the tidal fishmen, and its two pincers were powerless to protect its eyes and facial area.

As the Tide Murlocs continued to attack, more and more cracks appeared on the shell of the Cave Stone Crab.

Finally, under a fierce attack, the cave stone crab's shell was completely penetrated, and a stream of bright red blood gushed out.

It let out a shrill scream and its huge body fell to the ground with a loud bang.

"Success!" the tidal fishmen cheered.

They gathered around the stone crab's carcass, excitedly discussing how to share this sumptuous dinner.

Gulugua walked to the body of the stone crab, tapped its shell gently with his three-pronged fork, and nodded with satisfaction.

Then, he turned to the tidal fishmen behind him and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Take it apart for me. We can eat while we go."

The tidal fishmen nodded and excitedly used their three-pronged forks to cut up all the cave crabs, each of them holding a piece of meat and chewing on it.

Just as the Tidal Fishmen were immersed in the joy of victory and the enjoyment of delicious food, a sudden vibration broke the tranquility in the cave.

The vibration seemed to come from deeper within, carrying an ominous foreboding.

Gulugua paused his meal, frowning as he quickly glanced around, trying to determine the source of the vibration. "Everyone, be quiet! Something's happening!" he whispered, signaling everyone to be on high alert.

Upon hearing this, the tidal fishmen immediately put down the food in their hands, gripped their tridents tightly again, stood in a row, and prepared to deal with any possible crisis.

The clam girls also quickly formed a circle to protect everyone in the team. Their shells were flashing with a faint blue light, appearing mysterious and powerful.

The vibration became stronger and stronger, accompanied by a low roar, and the rubble on the top of the cave began to fall.

After a while, four figures rushed out. Gulugua looked carefully and found that they were the four tidal fishmen who had explored the way before.

"What's going on? What happened?" Gulugua walked forward and asked in confusion.

The four Tidal Murlocs looked solemn, and one of them quickly replied, "My Lord, this is bad! There's a dragon! I can sense the dragon's presence."

He shouted in horror, his voice filled with undisguised fear.

"Dragon? Are you sure it's the breath of a dragon?" Gulugua's face changed suddenly when he heard that. He knew very well how powerful and terrifying the dragon was. It was a legendary creature that possessed the power to destroy the world.

"It's absolutely true, my king. When we were exploring the way ahead just now, we suddenly felt a powerful pressure. We didn't dare to stay for long and came back to report immediately." Another tidal fishman added, his voice trembling, obviously intimidated by the dragon's breath.

Before Gulugua could think about it, there was another big commotion in the direction where the four tidal fishmen were rushing towards.

I saw a large group of cave stone crabs and thorny hunting seals swarming over. It was obvious that they were also frightened by the sudden breath of the dragon.

I want to run out of the cave quickly and get away from the dragon.

But Gulugua and others blocked their way. Once they attacked, the Tidal Murlocs and Clam Girls would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
