Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 122 Dragon’s Breath
Just as the tidal fishmen began to retreat, they had just turned a corner.

The pearl in Lanzhu's hand began to emit a strong light. She pushed with both hands and threw the pearl that she had always held in her palm and regarded as a treasure into it.

Boom! An intense light illuminated the entire cave. If the tidal fishmen had not just left the bend, they would have been blinded by the dazzling light.

Although cave crabs and thorny hunting seals have lived in this dark environment for countless years, the function of their eyes has almost degenerated.

But in this terrifying light, my eyes still felt sore and swollen, and countless liquids condensed and spread in the turbid water.

Under this sudden, intense light, the battle situation within the cave shifted dramatically. The blinding glare stung the cave crabs and the army of thorny hunting seals, and their movements became sluggish and chaotic. They swung their claws blindly in the water, trying to find a direction to attack, but could only struggle helplessly in the blaze.

Seeing this, Gulugua's eyes flashed with determination. He quickly seized this rare opportunity and shouted, "Now, little ones, attack with all your might!"

Under Guluqua's command, the tidal fishmen seemed to be injected with new strength.

"Tidal waves!" All the fishmen mobilized their magic power together, condensing waves of tidal water. Finally, under the command of Gulugua, they rushed towards the huge waves together.

It slammed heavily into the monsters that were running around, making them completely lose their direction.

Seeing that all the monsters had lost their ability to fight, all the tidal fishmen stopped dodging and rushed forward directly.

They took advantage of the narrow terrain of the cave and moved among the enemies like an arrow from a bow.

The three-pronged fork in their hands flashed with cold light, and every swing was accompanied by the enemy's wailing. The clam women did not stop either. Under the leadership of Lanzhu, they continued to cast spells.

The blue clouds gathered together above their heads, forming a mysterious sky. Pearl raindrops like sharp arrows continuously poured down from the clouds, striking every enemy with precision.

In this fierce battle, the cooperation between Gulugua and Lanzhu was perfect.

They used their respective strengths to perfectly combine the bravery of the tidal fishmen and the magic of the clam girls, forming an unstoppable force.

As the battle progressed, the number of cave crabs and thorny hunting badges began to decrease.

They seemed so fragile and powerless in the face of this powerful force. In the end, they were completely defeated amidst wailing and screaming.

When the battle ended, the entire cave fell into a brief silence. Gulugua stood at the front of the battle, looking at the defeated enemies: "Retreat quickly, leave here."

Under Guluqua's decisive command, the tidal fishmen and clam girls quickly evacuated the battlefield, leaving behind even the spoils.

They advanced quickly along the winding cave passage, not daring to delay for even a moment.

Although they had just experienced a fierce battle, the giant dragon hidden in the cave made everyone unable to calm down. They just wanted to leave here as soon as possible and leave this dangerous place.

During the retreat, Gulugua kept looking back, his heart full of worry.

Gulugua was well aware of the dragon's power and terror. If a dragon really appeared in this cave, all of them would face a huge threat.

Meng Zheng was outside the cave, quietly waiting for news from Gulugua and the others. He had just asked Tang Yu to find some water plants to make a large bed, and was about to take a good rest when the tidal fishmen suddenly rushed out.

"What's going on?" Meng Zheng was shocked when he saw Gulugua and others rushing out of the cave in such a panic, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Gulugua's face was solemn, and he replied breathlessly, "My king, this is bad! There's a dragon's breath deep in the cave. We encountered a large number of cave crabs and thorny hunting seals, and even had a fierce battle. We must leave here immediately!"

"Dragon's breath? Did you see a dragon?"

Meng Zheng frowned upon hearing this. He knew full well how powerful and terrifying dragons could be; encountering one would be a disaster. He quickly looked around and saw that the tidal fishmen and clam girls all looked exhausted, their eyes filled with fear and tension.

"No, but it's very scary inside and we can't move forward!" said Gulugua guiltily.

When he sensed the dragon, he panicked. If his tribesmen were not present, he would have run away immediately instead of continuing to fight.

It has to be said that the murlocs are a magical race. When they are scattered, they are like a pile of sand, but when they gather together, they are brave and fearless, and can burst out with terrifying fighting power.

"Don't panic, everyone. Follow me to a safe place first." Meng Zheng said in a deep voice, signaling everyone to remain calm and evacuate the cave in an orderly manner.

Under Meng Zheng's leadership, everyone quickly left the cave entrance and came to a relatively open area of ​​water. Here, away from the threat of the cave, everyone could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Gulugua walked up to Meng Zheng, his expression still solemn: "My king, we must leave here as soon as possible. The dragon's breath is too terrifying."

Meng Zheng nodded. He knew Gulugua's concerns were not unnecessary. He also understood the power and terror of dragons. If they actually encountered one, it would be an unimaginable disaster.

"Gulugua, you organize the team immediately, check everyone's injuries, and make sure everyone is safe and sound." Meng Zheng ordered and began to think of countermeasures.

"Yes, my king!" Gulugua responded and quickly began to organize the team to rest.

Meng Zhengze stood aside, thinking quietly.

This expedition has exceeded his expectations. While exploring a cave, he actually encountered a dragon. He had to re-examine his plan.

The question now is, what is going on with this dragon?
How come it's in such a small cave?
A living dragon? Or a dead dragon?
Meng Zheng had no idea about this.

"It seems that we have to change our strategy." Meng Zheng thought to himself and began to think about a new action plan.

Under Gulugua's organization, the tidal fishmen and clam girls quickly completed their rest. Although everyone had some scars on their bodies, fortunately, they were not seriously injured.

"My king, what should we do next?" Gulugua walked up to Meng Zheng and asked.

Meng Zheng looked at everyone, took a deep breath, and said firmly, "We can't give up just like that. Even though a dragon has appeared, it doesn't mean we can't keep going. Go get Hong Lei, Li Gen, Ling Pu, and the others. I want to go in and take a look myself."
