Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 164 Monster Attacks
During the inspection, Meng Zheng also discovered some problems.

For example, the camp’s defense facilities are not yet complete, and the security forces in some places are insufficient.

Obviously, there is a huge shortage of manpower in the branch tribe, which makes the defense work here seem a bit stretched.

Meng Zheng wrote down these questions one by one, intending to discuss solutions together after Ling Pu returned.

If we want to consolidate the status of the Hushan branch tribe and ensure the continued development of resources and the long-term development of the tribe, we must first resolve these immediate difficulties.

At this time, Hong Lei had found a place to stop. Its huge body was like an island in the water. The lake and mountain were surrounded by coral reefs and seaweed forests, and there was no place for it to land.

It was Jiang Tao who led the Kuangtao Warriors to forcibly flatten a coral reef, allowing the thunder to fall. Otherwise, it would have only floated slowly on the periphery.

On Hong Lei's back, there are a large amount of supplies and rare resources that many branch tribes lack.

As the tribe's guardian beast, Hong Lei's intelligence is similar to that of a human, but he is still young and cannot speak.

Therefore, unless the situation is urgent, or Meng Zheng, and the approved person.

Otherwise, Hong Lei would not let anyone climb on his back. He is a powerful guardian beast, how could he let anyone climb on him casually?
Meng Zheng got off the Rock Spirit Silver Horned Beast, swam to Hong Lei, and gently patted its huge horn to show his appreciation.

"Honglei, you did a great job." Meng Zheng said softly, "I'll need your help in the coming days."

Hong Lei seemed to understand Meng Zheng's words. It shook its huge horns slightly and made a low roar, as if responding to Meng Zheng's praise and expectation.

"Go! Transport all these things down." Meng Zheng waved his hand, signaling the people in the tribe to start moving.

The newly arrived amphibious fishmen and blue flag dolphin fishmen were very considerate and hurried forward to help, carrying down the various supplies tied to Hong Lei's back bit by bit.

Chi Yu was so excited looking at so many good things that his nose was bubbling with excitement.

He said happily to Meng Zheng, "Chief, these supplies are really a timely help! With these, the development speed of our tribe will be greatly accelerated."

Meng Zheng smiled and nodded, "Chi Yu. I've given you so many things, but you have to run this branch tribe well for me."

"Don't worry, clan leader. Chi Yu will do his best." Chi Yu said firmly.

Quite the Iron Lady style.

With the unloading of supplies completed, Hong Lei was finally able to move freely. After a happy chirp, he went off to play by himself.

Meng Zheng ignored him and continued to watch Chi Yu directing the fishmen to sort the supplies.

Then they were transported to the designated location bit by bit. This batch of supplies included not only daily necessities, but also various materials needed for the Water Spirit Guardian Array.

These materials require spiritual practitioners like Cangyue to arrange, so they have to be left here for a few days.

Cangyue has been in seclusion for some time. Meng Zheng estimated that when she comes out, she should have successfully broken through.

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps interrupted Meng Zheng's thoughts.

A murloc swam over hurriedly and reported nervously, "My Lord! My Lord! It's bad! A group of monsters are approaching the camp!"

Meng Zheng's eyes instantly became sharp. He quickly turned around and said to Chi Yu, "Chi Yu, immediately organize the fishmen and mermaids to enter a defensive state and prepare for battle!" Upon hearing this, Chi Yu immediately nodded and began to command the busy fishmen and mermaids.

All the mermen and mermaids quickly put down their work, picked up their weapons, and ran towards the fortifications around the camp in an orderly manner.

Over this period of time, they have long been accustomed to this kind of life.

But the amphibious mermen and blue-flag dolphin mermen who came with Meng Zheng were a little at a loss. In the end, it was the amphibious mermen's leader, Lagugua, who led them to take refuge in the cave.

Meng Zheng quickly mounted the Rock Spirit Silver Horned Beast, ready to fight the approaching monster.

He just wanted to see what kind of monsters these were that dared to attack the branch tribe again and again.

At the same time, Chiyan, Lanzhu, Shen Zhan and others also swam over quickly from a distance. They were arranged by Meng Zheng to inspect the situation of the sub-tribe and prepare to formulate a patrol standard.

However, this group of monsters made a lot of noise, and you could sense the enemy attack from a distance.

Chiyan's eyes were filled with excitement. He opened his mouth and spit out a breath of dragon's breath, spraying it on his body, causing his whole body to burn with raging flames, like an angry fire dragon.

This is the result of the transformation ceremony of the Blazing Horned Flame Dragon's dragon descendants. Although Chi Yan previously mastered the skill of dragon breath, he was unable to touch the dragon breath with his physical body.

The temperature of dragon's breath is hotter than magma. Once it touches you, even under water a hundred meters deep, it will be burned to ashes bit by bit and cannot be extinguished at all.

Chiyan's action at this time actually triggered a passive skill called Blazing Battle Body.

Cover your entire body with dragon breath to increase your combat power and defense.

In this state, Blazing Flame not only has greatly increased attack power, but is also almost invincible. Any enemy that tries to approach it will be engulfed by the raging flames.

He is simply the undefeated king of close combat, and in this environment, it can be called a dimensionality reduction attack.

Seeing their leader so passionate, the dragon warriors who followed him also exhaled dragon breath, covering their bodies with it, and the entire tribe instantly became bright.

It was as if torches were lit, and the surrounding waters were boiled by the blazing flames, with fine foam constantly emerging. One can imagine how terrifying this flame was.

"My Lord, leave these guys to me!" Chi Yan shouted excitedly, "Men, come on, it's time for a feast!"

Following Chiyan's command, one hundred dragonborn warriors covered in flames rushed towards the approaching group of monsters like arrows.

Their figures drew fiery trails in the water. Wherever they passed, the water seemed to be ignited, emitting billowing hot steam and bubbles.

Meng Zheng's increasingly abnormal eyesight could see that there was actually no water around the Blazing Horned Flame Dragon Dragon Warrior, it was just that this place was too deep.

Whenever water is burned by the dragon's breath fire, new water will flow in.

But when the dragonborns were fully awake, they could clearly see that there was an obvious waterless vacuum behind them.

The dragonborn warriors were like burning meteors, cutting through the deep waters and directly colliding head-on with the charging monsters.

In an instant, many monsters were swallowed by the scorching flames without even being able to see their appearance, and turned into charred corpses.
