Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 123 Entering the Cave in Person
Meng Zheng's decision surprised Gulugua and others.

Faced with the possible existence of a dragon, Gulugua's heart was filled with fear and anxiety.

"My king, it's too dangerous for you to go in yourself," Gulugua said worriedly, "Let me take a few warriors to explore."

Meng Zheng shook his head, his eyes firm. "No, I must go and see for myself. Only then can I more accurately judge the situation and make the most appropriate decision. Also, if there is a dragon, I hope to negotiate with it in person."

No matter what, Meng Zheng is a man with a background.

As an investment target of the dragon clan, I believe these dragons will give it some face!
Gulugua wanted to persuade him again, but seeing Meng Zheng's unquestionable look, he could only nod helplessly.

He immediately arranged for someone to call Hong Lei and others over, while Meng Zheng and others looked at the direction of the cave from a distance to see if there were any other changes.

Just as Gulugua was arranging people, a low and shocking roar suddenly came from the depths of the cave, as if the whole earth was shaking.

But there was no reaction outside the cave, and all these changes were blocked by the runes at the entrance of the cave.

Therefore, Meng Zheng did not discover anything more until Hong Lei and Li Gen arrived.

"My lord/chief." Hong Lei's huge body carried the five most powerful masters of the Canghai tribe, including Li Gen, Ling Pu, Jiang Tao, Cang Yue, and Cang Jing, as well as 150 Kuang Tao war guards and 300 mermaid shield spearmen, all of whom came to Meng Zheng.

The hydraulic catapult soldiers will stay behind to guard the tribe. Now that most of the troops in the territory have been brought out, a troop must be left behind to guard it.

The arrival of these people instantly eased Meng Zheng's worries.

It really doesn't work. Two Xuan-level and a group of peak Huang-level masters are here, how can they not deal with a dragon?

After all, this is the early stage of the Eternal Continent. Could there be earth-level existences that suddenly pop up?
Meng Zheng didn't believe that his luck was that bad.

Li Gen and Hong Lei already have the strength of the Xuan level.

Jiang Tao and his 150 Crazy Waves Guards are not afraid of any enemy at the Xuan level.

Cangyue and Cangjing finally merged together, and when they joined forces, they were not much worse than the Xuan level.

Although Lingpu does not have any special military support, his long-range attacks are powerful and he can contribute with the help of others.

As for Meng Zheng himself, combined with the mermaid shield spearman's mermaid defense formation, the power he can exert is no less than that of the Xuan level.

Therefore, Meng Zheng is full of confidence about this trip.

But now there is a problem, which is how to bring the Tide Guards and the Mermaid Shield Spearmen into this cave.

Although there is suspicion of the presence of a dragon in this cave, it is ultimately only a cave of two or three meters in size.

A mermaid shield spearman can enter in front of it, but it is impossible for the fat and heavy Tide Guards to enter at all.

Unlike Meng Zheng and others, they have mastered the art of transformation and can change their body shape freely.

Without the support of these two elite forces, the chances of winning would be much lower.

"Honglei, Jiangtao, Lingpu, you lead the Crazy Wave War Guards and the Merman Spearmen to wait outside the cave and be ready to respond at any time." Meng Zheng made a quick decision. "Li Gen, you follow me, Cangyue, and Cangjing into the cave to check the situation."

The cave was too small, and even if Meng Zheng wanted to blow it up, he couldn't. According to Gulugua's description, the cave was extremely deep and extended directly into the earth.

Even if they wanted to bombard it, they couldn't find its location. It would be better to leave some men outside to set up a formation and guard it while Meng Zheng led his men in to investigate.

No matter what, as long as the dragon clan is paying attention, no matter what kind of dragon it is, it has to give Meng Zheng some face. Even if the dragon has no martial ethics, Li Gen and Cangyue are enough to protect Meng Zheng's safety.

Li Gen is the fastest person in the Canghai tribe except Hong Lei.

To a certain extent, in terms of flexibility, Li Gen is more suitable than Hong Lei.

It was not a big problem for Li Gen to help Meng Zheng and others escape from this winding cave.

Cangyue and Cangjing have powerful auxiliary spells and can also summon Poseidon War Guards. Once a battle breaks out, the appearance of four Profound-level Poseidon War Guards will be enough to withstand the next wave of attacks.

Not to mention that once Cangyue and the other one merge, they will unleash even more powerful power. At that time, it is possible that they will be pushed to the Xuan level in one fell swoop.

After making the decision, a white light flashed on Meng Zheng's body, and he shrank from more than five meters to about two meters. This size was just right, not too tall to make it inconvenient to move in the cave, nor too short to affect the battle.

Li Gen, Cangyue and the others also glowed, and together they shrank in size to become a suitable height for themselves.

After making all the preparations, Meng Zheng was the first to walk ahead, holding the Zhenhai Seal in his hand.

Once a monster appears, the sealing effect of the Zhenhai Seal will definitely play a big role.

Led by Meng Zheng, the group walked into the cave cautiously. As soon as they entered the cave, Cangyue waved his hand and a ball of light appeared out of thin air.

It illuminated the entire cave.

Through Cangyue's ball of light, Meng Zheng could clearly see the specific situation of the cave.

I saw that this cave was not entirely made of stone, but instead had bluish iron bricks.

These iron bricks are arranged irregularly, crookedly, and some are deformed or even broken.

"Chief, these caves seem to be formed when iron bricks were broken and mixed with stones, and finally they were excavated again by humans." After observing for a while, Cangyue came over to report to Meng Zheng.

"Yeah, I noticed it too. It looked normal from the outside, but I didn't expect to see such a scene after entering." Meng Zheng looked at everything in the cave and nodded in response.

"These iron bricks look very old, and seem to have been through a great battle." Li Gen analyzed, "Perhaps some powerful being attacked with such overwhelming force that it shattered a mountain and the building made of these iron bricks, leading to this situation.

The existence buried inside, after a period of slumber, awakened and dug through this passage, eventually forming this cave."

Meng Zheng touched the iron bricks on the wall of the cave with his hand and could still clearly feel how hard they were.

The fact that it has been able to remain in water for so many years without rusting or decaying shows how extraordinary this building is.

Not only is the forging technology amazing, but the material is definitely not an ordinary piece of iron.

You should know that even in the modern society of the past, that highly civilized and developed society, it was still impossible to produce iron products that would not rust.

Iron plates that are said to be stainless steel will soon show signs of rust if they are not maintained and coated with protective oil.

But this iron brick is different. Not only is it intact, even the broken bricks and the gaps are still as bright as new, without any signs of rust.
