Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 244: The Return of Lingpu and the Black Ice Sea Lion
Three days later, in the early morning, bursts of low roars suddenly came from outside the Lingze tribe, like the roar of an ancient monster, echoing in the silent underwater world.

The tribesmen stopped what they were doing and looked curiously in the direction of the sound.

In the distant waters, huge figures appeared breaking through the water. The ice on their bodies emitted a faint blue light underwater. As they moved, they brought up layers of floating ice, filling the surrounding waters with a chill.

These ice floes slowly drifted in the water, like pieces of ice crystals, forming a long ice road.

Shi Han, the leader of the Black Ice Sea Lion tribe, has a huge body of 25 meters in height, like a moving iceberg. He is wearing heavy ice armor, holding a huge ice cone, and swimming majestically in the front.

Around him, the Black Ice Sea Lion warriors, about fifteen meters tall, followed closely behind. The ice on their bodies flashed coldly in the water, making them look majestic.

Wherever it passed, pieces of ice condensed out.

Next to the Black Ice Sea Lion, there is a group of female warriors with dragon tails, wearing light armor and holding giant crossbows. They are Lingpu's special troops - the Jingpu Soul Shooters.

A closer look revealed that beside Shi Han, the leader of the Black Ice Sea Lions, there was a mermaid accompanying him. Ling Pu, who was about five meters tall, looked a little small in front of Shi Han.

But his fierce momentum is not inferior to Shi Han's.

As they approached, members of the Lingze tribe flocked to the streets to warmly welcome their return.

"General Lingpu, you are back!" Chi Yu walked forward with a group of tribesmen and greeted them warmly.

After Ling Pu greeted Chi Yu, he said calmly, "Master Chi Yu, we have completely eliminated the Shadow Mermaids. We have finally lived up to the trust of the clan leader."

Chi Yu smiled slightly, "General Lingpu, you have made great contributions this time, and the clan leader will definitely reward you handsomely."

Ling Pu waved his hand slightly, "Master Chi Yu, you are too kind. This is what we should do. We were able to successfully eliminate the Shadow Mermaids this time, thanks to the great assistance of the Mysterious Ice Sea Lions."

"I forgot to introduce him. This is Shi Han, the chieftain of the Xuanbing Sea Lion people." Ling Pu turned around and pointed at the moving iceberg beside him - Shi Han, the chieftain of the Xuanbing Sea Lion people, and introduced him to Chi Yu and the surrounding tribesmen.

"Chief Shi, this is Chi Yu, the manager of our Lingze tribe."

Ling Pu introduced it to Shi Han again.

Shi Han nodded slightly and said in a deep and rich voice, "Lord Chi Yu, it is an honor for our clan to be able to work with General Ling Pu to eliminate the Shadow Mermaids this time."

Chi Yu smiled delightedly, "Chief Shi, you're so kind. This time, your people braved the dangers and assisted us in eliminating the Shadow Mermaids. We in the Lingze Tribe will always remember this kindness. When our chief arrives, we will surely reward you generously."

Meng Zheng had already informed Chi Yu about the Xuanbing Sea Lion people.

The Xuanbing Sea Lion people have been very uncomfortable since they came to Tianyu Lake.

As a tribe of sea lions, they prefer to live on land.

Soaking in water every day now inevitably makes the Xuanbing Sea Lion people feel very uncomfortable.

Whether it is raising cubs or daily life, the Black Ice Sea Lions prefer to be on land.

Tianyu Lake is vast and boundless, but there are very few islands in the lake.

The Xuanbing Sea Lions have never found a suitable place to settle down.

It was only after Ling Pu and Shi Han had an in-depth discussion that they finally understood the predicament of the Xuanbing Sea Lions. They then used this as a condition to invite the Xuanbing Sea Lions to join Canghai Village.

You should know that there is a small island towards the mainland of Canghai Village that has not yet been included in the jurisdiction.

It would be the best thing if the Black Ice Sea Lions were to be in charge there.

Although this island is not big, its location is very important. It is located on the route that Canghai Village must take to communicate with the outside world. It can effectively monitor and prevent external threats, and can also serve as a stronghold for future attacks on the mainland.

After Ling Pu realized this problem, he sent messages to Meng Zheng several times to report it.

In the end, Meng Zheng agreed that if the Xuanbing Sea Lions were willing to join Canghai Village, the small island would be transformed into the polar Iceland that the Xuanbing Sea Lions liked, and a special training base and material storage depot would be established on the island to provide the Xuanbing Sea Lions with necessary support and protection.

Shi Han didn't even hesitate about Ling Pu's proposal and agreed to join Canghai Village in one breath.

In fact, Ling Pu didn't know that the Xuanbing Sea Lions were almost at the end of their rope.

After being continuously activated, the ice power in the secret treasure Ice Pearl has been mostly depleted.

If they don’t find a suitable place to settle down, all the Xuanbing Sea Lions will be burned to death.

Although the Xuanbing Sea Lions are covered with a thick layer of white ice, in fact, each Xuanbing Sea Lion has an extremely thick coat of hair on its body.

Living in the cold polar regions, the Black Ice Sea Lions have long evolved thick fur to resist the severe cold.

These hairs can not only resist the cold, but also regulate body temperature to a certain extent, so that they can stay comfortable even in cold environments. However, when they arrived at Tianyu Lake, the climate here was completely different from their original living environment.

The hot climate makes the hair on their bodies thick and stuffy, as if they are wearing a thick cotton coat in a steamer, making them feel extremely uncomfortable.

Moreover, the Black Ice Sea Lions need to return to cold environments regularly to maintain the balance of ice power in their bodies.

The ice beads were constantly being consumed, gradually decaying, and their icy power was declining day by day.

As the patriarch, Shi Han saw it all and was worried.

If they cannot find a place suitable for their people to live, the Xuanbing Sea Lion people will face a catastrophe.

Therefore, when Lingpu proposed to join Canghai Village and provide them with a livable Icelandic environment, they immediately agreed to join Canghai Village without hesitation.

At this time, Meng Zheng swam out from the depths of the tribe, "Lingpu, you are finally here!"

Seeing Meng Zheng coming, Ling Pu hurried forward and said, "Chief, we are back. The Shadow Mermaids have been completely eliminated."

Meng Zheng nodded with satisfaction. "Thank you for your hard work. You completed this mission very well." He turned to look at the tall Shi Han and said, "This must be Chief Shi, right?"

"Yes, Chief, this is Shi Han, the chief of the Xuanbing Sea Lions." Ling Pu hurriedly introduced, "Chief Shi, this is Meng Zheng, the lord of our Lingze tribe."

Shi Han nodded slightly and said in a deep and rich voice, "Lord Meng Zheng, as long as you can provide us with a suitable camp, we can do whatever you want."

"Hahaha! You're too polite, Patriarch Shi! Don't worry, we have already prepared the places you need. We will take you there to see them when the time comes." Meng Zheng laughed heartily.
