Xia Chujian understood.
This was following the direction of food, so she would never get lost.
Xia Chujian walked on the seabed ice, following the faintly visible "lantern" ahead.
The seawater was a deep blue, but there were scattered starlight points ahead.
Xia Chujian struggled to catch up with the mutated lantern fish that A Wù had transformed into.
She saw the mutated lantern fish suddenly turn into what appeared to be a naturally formed ice cave.
Xia Chujian followed it in.
After walking for a while, she realized.
This was definitely not a naturally formed ice cave.
This seemed to have been dug out.
As for who dug it out, she had no idea.
Following the winding ice cave for a while, Xia Chujian noticed that the mutated lantern fish that A Wù had transformed into had stopped.
Xia Chujian slowly floated over.
It turned out that the front was the end of the ice cave corridor.
It was a very large ice chamber.
It was carved perfectly, and a huge ice lamp hung down from the high ceiling, like high-grade colorless crystal.
Seven Lù quietly activated the radar scanning system.
Before long, its childlike voice rang out in Xia Chujian's fully enclosed helmet with great excitement.
"Master! There are very rich Special Metal deposits here!"
"Under this ice layer, there are massive amounts of Black Silver, Composite Titanium, Cang Yi, Dark Gold Chromium, and more than a hundred other Special Metals!"
Xia Chujian was also very surprised: "There are Special Metal deposits here? What about Exotic Metal?"
Seven Lù said regretfully: "That's impossible. The geographical environment here can't produce Exotic Metal. Being able to produce so many Special Metals is already unexpected."
Xia Chujian thought to herself that these Special Metals were special materials for manufacturing Mecha of Shao Siming's level.
If the Haidagong mastered the Mecha manufacturing technology...
Xia Chujian suddenly felt a chill.
She shook her head, as if to shake off this sudden divergent association.
She preferred to think she was overthinking it.
At this moment, she heard a slight noise in front of her, and immediately stopped moving, quietly hovering in mid-air.
There was not a single drop of seawater in this ice cave.
Before long, three Haidagong cloaked in robes walked out of a small door in the ice cave hall.
The tallest Haidagong seemed to be three meters tall, about the same height as Xia Chujian in her Mecha.
It wore a hood and a face towel, revealing only a pair of light bulb-like eyes.
Its voice was as cold as ice: "How long has Tifa been out? Why hasn't she returned yet?"
The Haidagong standing to its left bowed and said, "Lord Tula, don't worry. Saintess Tifa took five hundred elite Haidagong and five hundred Alligator Dragons to the surface. Those Shang People are no match for her."
As soon as Xia Chujian heard this, she understood that they were talking about the female Haidagong she had killed.
So her name was Tifa, and she was the so-called Haidagong Saintess...
That's interesting.
Xia Chujian thought to herself that she had killed the Da Zhao Shi, the descendant of the so-called Eternal Lineage of the Shang People, and also killed the Haidagong's Saintess Tifa.
If these three knew the truth, they would definitely not let her go...
Now that things have come to this, to protect myself, I'll just have to send them all to Hell together.
Xia Chujian floated silently in mid-air in the ice cave, coldly watching the three Haidagong in the ice cave hall.
The tallest Haidagong didn't seem convinced, and said, "You said the same thing when those previous hundred Haidagong were killed."
"How many times have I reminded you to be wary of those Shang People."
"They are ungrateful and only respect power. Only an iron fist and slaughter can make them know fear."
"Although we Haidagong can live forever, we have lost this ability since we no longer have humans to feed on."
The Haidagong standing on the other side of him had a female voice.
It was of medium build, and in addition to a cloak, it also wore a helmet and a face mask, like the female Haidagong named Tifa before.
It said in a low voice, "I heard my parents say that after the extinction of humans in the early years, many Haidagong also starved to death."
"Because, apart from humans, we Haidagong will be poisoned if we eat other food, and we will be poisoned to death."
"Later, a small number of us discovered the nests of the Starry Sky Yuan-chu, ate the giant eggs inside, and found that we would not be poisoned, so we were able to survive."
"Since then, the Haidagong have changed their eating habits and feed on the giant eggs of the Starry Sky Yuan-chu."
"But once we eat the giant eggs of the Starry Sky Yuan-chu, we Haidagong inevitably begin to age."
"And our lifespan is shortened to one hundred years..."
The tallest Haidagong sighed, "Who would have thought back then that without the natural enemy of the Starry Sky Yuan-chu, we Haidagong would also be heading towards extinction."
The female Haidagong said excitedly, "Lord! We Haidagong are not heading towards extinction!"
"After eating the giant eggs of the Starry Sky Yuan-chu, we will no longer be poisoned by eating other food, and we can survive without human food!"
"We Haidagong still exist on this planet. Why does Lord Tula say we are heading towards extinction?!"
The tallest Haidagong said coldly, "Are Haidagong who have lost their immortality still Haidagong?"
"Which of the current Haidagong has lived past one hundred years?!"
"We are now just Deep Divers in the mouths of those filthy humans!"
"I am already ninety-nine years old this year!"
"If I can't quickly get a large supply of human food to change my characteristics, two weeks later will be the anniversary of my death!"
The two Haidagong beside him immediately knelt on one leg, each kissing one of his claws, and said, "Lord Tula, rest assured!"
"As long as we survive, there is hope to find human food again and restore our immortality!"
"Another batch of human food has been sent from the Shang People. This batch has more than a hundred people, all newly dead and very fresh!"
"Lord Tula will definitely be able to extend your life after eating it!"
The tallest Haidagong suddenly felt a burst of frustration in his heart.
It roared and spewed a stream of flames from its mouth, burning towards the crystal ice lamps hanging high in the air.
Xia Chujian hurriedly ran away.
She was almost scorched by the flames.
Although it wouldn't cause her any harm, it would ruin her stealth effect, which was approaching a perfect state of light balance.
Fortunately, Xia Chujian ran fast enough to avoid this disaster.
After venting, the tallest Haidagong said, "Actually, dead humans are not very effective."
"We need to eat a large number of living humans to have a chance to restore our immortal characteristics."
As this Haidagong spoke, it narrowed its bulging eyes and said, "Notify all Haidagong to prepare for first-level combat readiness."
"This time, we won't wait any longer. We will directly seize those airships and cruisers, and head to the Beichen Empire to seize Guiyuan Star!"
The two Haidagong kneeling on one leg were shocked and raised their heads together, saying, "Lord Tula! This is different from what we agreed on before!"
The female Haidagong said anxiously, "We have an agreement with the Beichen Military!"
"It's best to implement the plan according to the agreement!"
"Lord Tula! We have too few people! And our weapons are all supplied by Beichen, it's not time to fall out with them yet!"
The tallest Haidagong turned around, its moss-green, gold-trimmed cloak drawing a graceful arc in the ice cave hall.
It turned its back to its two subordinates, as if to calm its anger.
After a while, it said, "Well, I lost my composure."
"Tima, if something happens to your sister Tifa, you will be the new Saintess of Haidagong."
"I authorize you to command all the Shang People's army and fight against the Beichen Empire's army sent to carry out this special military mission!"
"Remember, regardless of life or death, you must seize those Beichen soldiers' airships!"
"If you can't seize them, blame it on the Shang People, and don't fall out with Beichen!"
After saying this, the Haidagong named Tula stormed out of the ice cave hall, seemingly returning to its residence.
In the ice cave hall, only the two Haidagong remained.
They looked at each other, then walked out of the ice cave hall and stood on the ice outside.
Beneath their feet was ice of unknown thickness, and around them was the rippling deep blue sea.
The surroundings were empty, except for the seawater and some mutated deep-sea fish that occasionally swam by.
A Wù, transformed into an anglerfish, was still swimming not far away, unhurriedly.
Xia Chujian lay flat and slowly moved forward on the ice.
Only in this way could the other party not detect the changes in the water caused by her.
Although she could still use Perfect Light Balance to become invisible, she couldn't deceive the state of the water flow.
As long as she stood there, even without moving, the water flow would have slight stagnation and deflection.
This was too easy for the Haidagong, who lived in the deep sea all year round, to recognize.
Xia Chujian lay on the ice, with the mutated anglerfish that A Wù had transformed into above her head.
As long as this mutated anglerfish was here, even if there was a slight stagnation in the water flow, it would only be caused by this huge mutated anglerfish.
As expected, the two Haidagong only glanced in this direction before withdrawing their gaze.
They stood here and began to communicate.
This time, they were not using Beichen Language, but a language between Haidagong.
It was as if they were using their vocal cords to emit a stream of air, which formed water waves in the sea, which were then felt by another Haidagong and converted into sound by the eardrum.
Xia Chujian couldn't hear anything at this time, and was a little anxious.
She whispered in her fully enclosed helmet, "Seven Lù, can you find a way to decipher their conversation?"
Seven Lù said, "Deciphering! This method of communication is actually very close to electromagnetic waves."
"Compared to other language methods, it is easier to deduce."
It only took a minute to deduce the method of the sound emitted from the Haidagong's vocal cords propelling the water flow, and then restoring it to speech.
Soon, Xia Chujian's simultaneous interpretation system had another Haidagong language.
She only heard the female Haidagong Tima say, "Keli, why is Lord Tula suddenly so irritable?"
The male Haidagong named Keli said in a low voice, "...Ninety-nine years old, his hundredth birthday is only two weeks away, he's anxious..."
Tima then sighed and said, "Actually, Lord Tula has had human food for the past ten years, but it doesn't work. Who can we blame?"
Keli said, "The human food sent to us is already dead. Perhaps it's true that the effect is not as good as living human food."
Tima said, "There's no way around it. The nuclear radiation on Senze Star is too strong, and those human food are too weak. They all die before they are delivered."
Keli said, "Actually, we have many newborn Haidagong. These Haidagong haven't eaten the Starry Sky Yuan-chu's giant eggs yet. If we give those human food to the little Haidagong... will the effect be different?"
This is the second update, there will be a new update at 0:05 tonight.
