Two sea beasts, led by the warriors of the Sea King Clan, effortlessly slaughtered several hundred low-level demonic creatures below. Then, that sea demon—let’s use this term to refer to the Sea King Clan, as they indeed resemble ancient demons—turned its head and looked in the direction of Tang Haofei and Walter.
"Humans!!!"
A mysterious voice came from the sea demon, containing some special mental fluctuations that allowed Tang Haofei to clearly grasp the meaning behind the sea demon's words.
Tang Haofei paused for a moment and gently nodded.
"At the invitation of the Sea King, I, Tang Haofei of the human race ranking one, bring the goodwill of the human race and the willingness of both races to join forces against the demonic disaster."
Silence...
Tang Haofei was uncertain whether the level 5 sea demon in front of him could understand his words, so after he finished speaking, the scene fell into a moment of awkwardness...
Until a burst of laughter broke the uncomfortable atmosphere.
"Humans! The Sea King Clan welcomes your arrival!"
A not-so-clear but not unskilled Chinese came from the sea demon's mouth. The strange tone and hearty manner made it hard to feel any animosity, and coupled with the sea demon's seemingly friendly (albeit rather ferocious) smile, the atmosphere lightened considerably.
"Let’s go, human race ranking one. Lord Sea King has been waiting for you for a long time."
...
Riding on the huge Blue-scaled Dolphin, they swam deep into the ocean. The power of the Water Avoidance Pearl allowed Tang Haofei to forget about the need for air, as he admired the beauty of the ocean depths.
Unfortunately, after the demonic disaster struck, there really wasn’t much beauty to behold...
Corpses were everywhere, battlefields stretched as far as the eye could see, and slaughter and bloodshed filled the surroundings.
Red, black, and a multitude of colorful liquids spread out, adding a touch of cruelty and bloodiness to the originally azure sea.
The Blue-scaled Dolphin swam at a decent speed, but its own strength was lacking, only reaching the peak of level 4. In contrast, the fish beasts beside them were clearly much stronger, eagerly charging at any demonic creatures they encountered along the way.
On one hand, it was to enhance their own strength; on the other hand, it was to rescue their "kin," also oceanic creatures.
From this perspective, the overall atmosphere of the oceanic creatures was quite nice.
...
The Blue-scaled Dolphin was not slow, but perhaps to accommodate the balance issues caused by Tang Haofei and Walter moving rapidly in the water, it maintained a certain steady speed towards a specific destination.
Along the way, the war in the ocean clearly unfolded before Tang Haofei's eyes...
Oceanic creatures, being the most powerful group on Earth...
Their strength was indeed not to be underestimated; at least, so far, Tang Haofei had not seen any disadvantages among the oceanic beings!
This was terrifying, as it meant that the oceanic tribe had already wiped out all the demonic creatures clustered in large groups, and currently, the entire ocean—or rather, this part of the East China Sea—was left with only the cleanup and guarding of the Demon Realm Gate.
And since the onset of the demonic disaster, only half a month had passed...
Walter also recognized the implications of the current situation and lowered his head, his face slightly pale.
However, the sea demon responsible for leading the way was quite talkative, with no sense of boasting in its words, continuously chatting casually with Tang Haofei. According to Lagus—the sea demon—he was learning Chinese from Tang Haofei, of course, this also included gathering intelligence...
The relationships between races, between countries, and even between individuals are not simply a matter of being friends or enemies...
Tang Haofei understood this.
And Lagus understood it too...
...
After riding the Blue-scaled Dolphin for over three hours, the distant capital of the Deep Blue Empire—the only city at present—was finally in sight.
