Chapter 637: Sacrifice
Luo Ying was taken aback, looking at Laura and the others with confusion. They had some understanding of Zhao Hai's reputation, known primarily for his dark magic on the continent. It was also known that the budah family had numerous ninth-level experts, but no one had said that Zhao Hai was one of them.
Moreover, even if Zhao Hai were a ninth-level expert himself, he was currently facing a large number of ninth-level experts. In such a situation, how could he be so confident? Where did this confidence come from?
However, seeing Laura and the others appear completely unconcerned, Luo Ying hesitated. Could it be that Zhao Hai could truly handle so many ninth-level experts alone?
Luo Ying looked at Laura, who understood her thoughts. Laura smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, General. Even if Brother Hai cannot defeat them, he can certainly protect himself. You can be assured."
Luo Ying nodded and said, "Alright, then we will see what Mr. Zhao can do. However, if he needs assistance, we can provide full support. Aside from anything else, with my azure dragon conch, dealing with a few ninth-level experts wouldn't be a problem."
Laura smiled slightly, "Rest assured, General. If it really comes to that, we wonât hold back. General, we take our leave." With that, the group flickered and disappeared.
Seeing this, Luo Ying was stunned for a moment, then her expression changed. As someone well-versed in many matters, she quickly realized that Laura and the others could use spatial otherworldly techniques.
This was something Luo Ying had not known before. There were rumors on the continent that Zhao Hai could use spatial otherworldly techniques, but it had never been mentioned that Laura and her companions could do so. It seemed that Mr. Zhao Hai had many secrets that the people on the continent were unaware of.
Lolo, seeing Laura and the others leave, said in disbelief, "So they are that powerful? I've been with them for several days and never realized it."
Luo Ying smiled slightly, "Silly girl, if they didnât want you to know, you wouldn't know. I believe if they wanted to reassure us today, they wouldn't let us know about their abilities. It seems that Mr. Zhao Hai can leave whenever he wishes; those people can't possibly stop him."
DĂ ShÄn, who had been listening, said solemnly, "General, with so many ninth-level experts from the sea dragon clan revealed at once, we are in great danger. Should we send a message to His Majesty, asking him to send more ninth-level experts our way?"
Luo Ying shook her head, "No. Although it seems dangerous here now, the real danger lies with His Majesty. Canât you see? This is a trap set by the sea dragon clan aimed at Mr. Zhao Hai. They plan to eliminate him first and then leave us here, forcing us to seek help from His Majesty. By the time help arrives, they might seize the opportunity to attack Mermaid Island. The Dragon Clan can fly, after all."
DĂ ShÄn was taken aback and then his expression changed, "Isn't that making His Majesty's situation even more dangerous? General, should we alert His Majesty?"
Luo Ying shook her head, "I donât think itâs necessary. His Majesty is not someone we need to worry about. When I informed him about the cooperation between the Dragon Clan and the sea dragon clan, he should have made preparations already."
DĂ ShÄn nodded, falling silent. Luo Ying turned her gaze back to the water screen. In fact, Zhao Hai didnât know that this water screen was not an ordinary magic but a unique magic of the azure dragon conch. Moreover, this was a millennium-old azure dragon conch that had gone through the water refinement technique, resulting in a unique form of magic that Luo Ying had named the "War Screen."
If the azure dragon conch were lost, the mermaid clan could not use this type of magic. Therefore, if Zhao Hai were to use a monitor projection in front of Luo Ying and the others, they would still be quite surprised.
When Luo Ying looked back at the water screen, she was taken aback. Zhao Hai was still fighting with the sea dragon clan, but the sea dragon clan members were not gaining any advantage at all.
