Chapter 638: The Decision of the Sea Dragon Clan
Alexis shook his head and said, "No, sir, you've misunderstood. I want to ask you to take us out."
Zhao Hai looked at Alexis and sneered, "Why should I take you out? You can just wait here to die."
The magic they had cast was now fully completed. A peculiar pattern appeared on the top of the shield, resembling the sun, but several lines connected it to the magic circle created by Joshua and his companions. Subsequently, several lines shot out from the magic circle towards them. It seemed that Joshua and his companions lost their moisture in an instant, becoming extremely dry, and then they transformed into powder that scattered to the seabed.
Joshua and his companions had disappeared, but their original positions were replaced by several glowing orbs. These orbs seemed to recognize people, extending many golden threads directly towards the bodies of the sea dragon clan members.
Seeing this situation, Alexis immediately raised the shield and shouted to Zhao Hai, "Sir, please take us out! We, the Sea Dragon Clan, are willing to serve you forever!"
Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment, then his figure flickered and disappeared inside the shield. Soon after, Alexis and the others also vanished within the shield. There was no need to ask; they had been transferred to the outside of the shield by Zhao Hai.
As soon as Alexis emerged from the shield, a dazzling golden light erupted from within. With the explosion of this golden light, Aokazha and the others had permanently disappeared from the shield, and everything inside the shield turned to dust, including the array platforms used by the Church of Light to set up the magic circle. The seabed revealed a deep depression of over a hundred meters. Once the light dissipated, seawater rushed into the depression, causing a commotion in the ocean.
Although Zhao Hai had already transferred Alexis and the others outside, they were now tightly bound by vine-like restraints. The sea dragon clan members struggled a bit, but they found they couldn't break free; the vines were surprisingly resilient.
Of course, they couldn't escape; those vines had been summoned by Cai'er, whose current strength was equivalent to that of a divine-level expert. How could they, with their ninth-level strength, possibly break free?
Zhao Hai looked at Alexis and asked, "Is what you said true? Does the Sea Dragon Clan really wish to submit to me? I tell you, if you don't honor your words, I will kill you right now."
Alexis did not struggle. He looked at Zhao Hai and forced a bitter smile, saying, "How could I dare to lie to you, sir? Your capabilities are sky-high, and even if we, the Sea Dragon Clan, wanted to oppose you, we wouldn't have the courage. To be honest, we are no longer a part of the dragon clan. The reason we collaborated with the Church of Light this time was solely to strengthen our race. However, if we are all annihilated here, it would mean the Sea Dragon Clan has lost most of its ninth-level experts, and we would certainly be destroyed by the mermaid clan. So I plead with you to save us."
Zhao Hai observed Alexis and realized he did not seem to be lying. To be honest, Zhao Hai appreciated the combat power of the Sea Dragon Clan, so absorbing them into his ranks would be a good thing.
Seeing Zhao Hai remain silent and not releasing them, Alexis felt a bit anxious. He hurriedly said, "Sir, please believe me. I am willing to take a blood oath and pledge my eternal loyalty to you. We, the Sea Dragon Clan, are willing to serve you forever."
Zhao Hai raised his head to glance at Alexis and said solemnly, "Alright, as long as you take the blood oath, I will spare you. However, you cannot stay in the sea anymore. I will send you to another place where you can live."
Alexis was taken aback but still lowered his head, saying, "Yes, sir." After speaking, Alexis bit his tongue and took the blood oath. Zhao Hai then released the sea dragon clan members. They all looked at Alexis without speaking. Alexis sighed and turned to Zhao Hai, saying, "Please give us two days. After two days, all our clan members will gather in the Dragon Palace, waiting for your arrival."
