564: Chapter 402 564: Chapter 402 The girls…
hearing Jiang Tang mention that he wanted to find someone to forge Magical Treasures for them, happily accepted.
Lai Jianlin was a beginner at both Formation and forging Magical Treasures; having acquired these Energy Stones, the first thing he thought of was to create Magical Treasures for his loved ones.
He knew that now wasn’t the time to forge Magical Treasures, so he placed the Energy Stones into his Storage Bag and fixed his gaze on the sea outside.
At that moment, everyone was thinking that there must surely be treasures in the depths of this part of the ocean—treasures hidden deep underwater.
What they saw before their eyes was the ever-brighter and more transparent underwater world.
At this moment, the flying arrows had not yet reached the sea bottom; seeing that the four arrows could travel a few hundred miles in half an hour, and considering it had already been one or two quarters of an hour since leaving the surface, one could imagine just how deep it was.
Jiang Tang looked at the seabed, which was devoid of water, and wondered if this could be the underwater world and Dragon Palace from fairy tales.
Ye Tian had also watched mythological TV dramas; “Journey to the West” was a show that people from many years ago had watched.
He, too, was guessing whether this place was like the Dragon Palace.
The others felt that coming to this underwater world had broadened their horizons; if they hadn’t come this time, they might never have known what the seabed here was like.
Patriarch Dugu in the sky was overcome with greed, wanting to capture a Golden Elf.
He considered the white Elves as subjects for his research and thought it would be even better if they could be developed into Worm Insects.
With this idea in mind, the Spiritual Energy in his hand formed rings of light, with which he aimed to create a net.
A huge net that aimed to envelop the two types of Elves that were swooping down.
The Patriarch of Spirit Sect noticed Patriarch Dugu’s intentions.
Initially hesitant, he now saw someone else trying to beat him to the catch and could not let this chance to collect the Elves slip by.
Previously, he had envied those who possessed such Elves; if he could capture these Elves, even if they couldn’t form a contract, he could wait for them to lay their Worm-lings; the next generation could become his pets.
The Patriarch of Tang Sect realized the intentions of these two men.
Golden-colored energy insects were precisely what he needed.
He felt that these insects might be able to produce golden energy.
Even if they could not produce golden energy, they might be able to spray a frightening toxin.
By capturing these insects, he would acquire another powerful poison.
Thus, the three Patriarchs shared the same thought and cast their vast nets, preparing to confront two different types of Elves simultaneously.
The other dozen or so Patriarchs didn’t have such intentions.
They had their pets, but they still felt that such powerful Elves would be better if they could be tamed.
However, first they must win against the insects and their masters.
Each individual had different aims and thoughts.
What kind of trump cards this powerful individual held, they did not yet know.
Now, these dozen or so powerful beings were attacking some insects.
Perhaps there was only one master for all these insects, and one could imagine how mighty this master must be.
How many trump cards they had was unknown to them.
They also had not yet played their own trump cards, and their pets had not yet taken action.
Although it appeared like play, in truth, they were simply without a method to deal with the opposition.
Patriarch Ye was bewildered.
How come his family did not have such a formidable figure?
Generation after generation, his grandchildren had not produced anyone of such caliber.
Had there been such a person in his family, surely they wouldn’t have feared defeating any invaders.
He had noticed something was amiss with this island when he hurriedly arrived, although the mountain was moved there by someone among them.
It also happened to kill quite a few people.
At that time, he found it strange that battleships would come to this place—this was a region managed by their nation, and members of his family should have stopped such people from entering the country.
This part of the sea still belonged to their country; where had the ocean patrol team gone?
From the battleship, it was obvious that the enemy had already entered the nation, and had it not been for their intervention, the mountain would not have so coincidentally crushed the battleship.
At the time, he surveyed the area and saw flashes of lightning and powerful winds stirring up the sea and sinking the ships in the area.
He initially thought they were people from his own nation trying to save those onboard the ships.
But on closer inspection, these individuals looked somewhat like his own people but were sneaking around in disguised black clothes with masked faces, as if they did not want to be seen in broad daylight.
They resembled pirates, and by the way they were trying to save those aboard the battleship, it was clear that there was something shady about them.
While the others fought, Patriarch Ye took the opportunity to observe the nearby coast and noticed many islands not far away, one of which was inhabited.
He extended his Divine Sense to observe the island and found that there were over a hundred people.
These people were dressed like the ones who had just appeared on the sea surface, looking like pirates, yet they were invaders.
Many years ago, when he held a position of power, he had traveled along these coastal areas.
The nearby islands had been inhabited by fishermen or pirates, some deserted.
The island in question he had also visited years ago—it was a den of pirates, which he had righteously eradicated.
He had not expected that hundreds of years later, not only were there traces of pirates having lived here, but the area had also become a stronghold for invaders.
This place must undoubtedly be one of their contact points.
To catch the thief, first catch the king, he thought as he searched around but did not see any leaders.
Patriarch Ye then remembered those ships; perhaps a leader had come out to save those on the battleship.
