Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 169 Seeing Hope
"Yes, Chief! With the assistance of the Shadow Fish people, it will be more convenient to act." Ling Pu nodded seriously and had no objection to the Chief's arrangement.

The Shadow Fishmen's combat power is not strong, but their natural shadow talent gives them extremely powerful reconnaissance capabilities.

When dealing with the Shadow Mermaid who also possesses shadow talent, they are a perfect match.

The most difficult thing about the Shadow Mermaid is that they appear and disappear without a trace, especially in this underwater world without any light, where this ability is fully utilized.

"Well, I will send a message to Ying to bring people over as soon as possible, and then I will leave it to you to arrange it." Meng Zheng nodded and signaled the patrolling sea yaksha beside him to go and make the message.

After this period of recuperation, the Shadow Fish people have basically recovered.

In particular, equipping them with weapons and equipment tailor-made for them further strengthened the weak combat effectiveness of the Shadow Fishmen.

After dealing with the Shadow Mermaid, Meng Zheng turned around and returned to his own exclusive tent to begin his daily practice.

The longer he spent in the Eternal Continent, the more Meng Zheng realized the importance of strength.

The time spent in practice always passed quickly. When Meng Zheng woke up from meditation, he looked up and saw a pitch-black shack.

He stretched, flicked his tail, and felt refreshed, as if even the spiritual power in his body had become more abundant.

At this moment, the patrolling sea Yaksha hurried in with the leader of the shadow fish people, Ying.

Ying was wearing black scale armor, had a nimble figure, and his eyes flashed with sharp light. It was obvious that he was ready for battle.

"Lord, the Shadow Fishmen team has assembled and is ready to set off at any time." Ying's voice was low and powerful, revealing an unquestionable firmness.

Meng Zheng nodded with satisfaction, stood up, and said to Ying, "Very good, Ying. This mission is no small matter. The Shadow Mermaids are cunning and cruel, so you must proceed with caution. Ling Pu will lead an elite team with you. He is experienced, so you must obey his command."

Ying bowed his head respectfully and replied, "Yes, Lord. We, the Yingyu people, will do our best to live up to your expectations."

Meng Zheng patted Ying's shoulder and encouraged her, "I believe in you. Go ahead and get ready to go."

Led by Ying, the Shadow Merman team quickly left the tent and headed towards the area where the Shadow Merman might be. At the same time, Ling Pu also led the elite team and followed closely behind.

With Meng Zheng here, Ling Pu is very confident about the safety of the branch tribe and can fight outside for a long time.

After Ling Pu and Ying set off, Jiang Tao and Chi Yan's teams also set off after resting, heading towards the Sea Wolf Tribe and the Cannon Shrimp Tribe.

Hong Lei had returned as early as last night. With Hong Lei in charge, there was no need to worry about the safety of the branch tribe.

After leaving the tent, Meng Zheng swam into the dark and mysterious underwater world.

Surrounded by the gentle flow of water, the light here becomes hazy and mottled, with only the occasional faint light flashing in the distance, like a lonely star in the deep sea.

Being in the water, Meng Zheng felt very comfortable, as if he had become one with this dark and mysterious underwater world.

Every inch of his skin could feel the caress of the water, and every breath seemed to resonate with an unknown existence deep within.

He closed his eyes slightly, allowing his mind to connect with the vast expanse of water.

Here, he is no longer the lord who needs to be vigilant and strategize at all times, but a simple and pure explorer who enjoys the most intimate contact with nature.

In this wonderful state of being one with the underwater world, Meng Zheng could clearly sense that his cultivation was constantly improving. His cultivation, which had reached a bottleneck, seemed to have found a new direction. The spiritual power in his body was like an activated spring, gurgling and surging, more abundant and full of vitality than before.

He opened his eyes slightly, a glint of surprise in them. "In another year, I will definitely be able to break through to the Xuan level!" Meng Zheng said confidently.

Ever since reaching the peak of the Yellow Level, Meng Zheng's cultivation has not improved at all.

It was as if there was an invisible wall blocking Meng Zheng from moving forward.

But today, he clearly felt that the wall blocking him had been broken, and he was qualified to climb up again.

Although there is still a long way to go before a breakthrough, there is no need to despair. As long as we work hard, we can achieve it eventually.

Thinking of this, Meng Zheng's mood became extremely excited. With a happy mood, he was like an agile fish, swimming in the dark water.

At the edge of the sub-tribe, a group of sea patrol Yakshas are patrolling vigilantly, guarding the peace of the sub-tribe.

Meng Zheng's arrival immediately made them alert.

But immediately, as if realizing that this was his lord, he hurried over to salute: "My Lord!"

The patrolling sea yakshas saluted respectfully, their voices echoing in the water like the sound of the deep sea.

Meng Zheng stopped and asked one of the patrolling Yaksha, "Is there anything unusual?"

The patrolling Yaksha quickly replied, "Lord, everything is calm at the moment. All teams are operating as planned, and there are no unusual situations to report."

Meng Zheng felt relieved upon hearing this. He nodded and said, "Very good. Continue to be vigilant and don't let your guard down at all."

The patrolling Yaksha accepted the order and then asked, "Lord, are you going out? Do you need us to escort you?"

Meng Zheng smiled and shook his head, saying, "No need. I'm just taking a walk to check out the surroundings. You guys continue patrolling, and report to me if anything happens."

Upon hearing this, the patrolling sea yakshas nodded to show that they understood.

After Meng Zheng finished speaking, he continued to wander in this dark underwater world.

He felt the ripples of the water and listened to the faint sounds coming from afar, as if he was having a silent conversation with this mysterious body of water.

This is a new ability that Meng Zheng has mastered. Perhaps it is a breakthrough in his cultivation, or perhaps it is due to his continuous study of the "Secret Book of Water". His perception has become more acute, and he can clearly feel the subtle fluctuations in the water flow. Between these fluctuations, he has gained many insights.

His various spells and abilities were constantly being sublimated, and their power was at least three levels higher than yesterday.

Just as Meng Zheng was immersed in the conversation with the underwater world, he had unknowingly moved away from the branch tribe.

Suddenly, an unusual breath appeared in Meng Zheng's perception. This breath was both strange and dangerous, which made him frown.

Meng Zheng did not open his eyes, but continued to use his perception to touch the owner of this breath, reducing his presence to the minimum.

At the same time, he released his spiritual power, covering the guards following behind him.

As a lord, Meng Zheng is always accompanied by a personal guard who are dedicated to protecting him.
