Achieving the desired outcome from their first conversation was good news for Tang Haofei.
Although he didn't know exactly what the Sea King wanted his help with, any matter concerning the alliance between their races was a significant challenge that needed to be overcome.
Indeed, Tang Haofei was very enthusiastic about uniting the Earth's forces!
The tragedies of his previous life had taught him that resisting the demonic clan was impossible solely with the power of the human race; it was essential to unite all living forces.
More than Wen Yu, Tang Haofei valued the survival of his race.
Perhaps this was the significance and mission of his rebirth, Tang Haofei thought.
...
After meeting with the Sea King, Tang Haofei was guided by a divine beast species belonging to the Sea King to the dwelling prepared for them by the Sea King...
Of course, the so-called dwelling was just a pile of broken rocks forming a pit, hardly comfortable, and neither Tang Haofei nor Walter intended to rest there.
They were simply waiting, waiting for what the Sea King referred to as "help"...
...
The Sea King did not keep them waiting too long.
About five hours later, a servant presented them with "delicious" food. Subsequently, under the guidance of a member of the sea king clan, Tang Haofei and Walter met with the Sea King once again.
"Let's go."
Making a gesture to Tang Haofei, the Sea King led three divine beasts, with the two of them riding on a massive mutated orca, and then set off deeper into the Pacific Ocean.
...
Mariana Trench.
Reputed to be the deepest trench in the world.
At the same time, it might also be the closest place to Earth's Core that humans can reach!
With the wild speed of the mutated orca and the terrifying combat power of the three divine beasts from the sea king clan, their journey towards the Mariana Trench was smooth sailing.
The high pressure in the sea made Tang Haofei feel a bit dizzy, and under such pressure, the Barrier formed by the Water Avoidance Pearl around his body was close to collapsing and dissipating. Fortunately, the Sea King cast a skill on Tang Haofei and Walter, making it much more bearable for them.
For humans, even with Tang Haofei's strength, there would always be many discomforts in the deep sea—this was also the foundation for cooperation between the oceanic tribe and the human race.
After progressing for about three more hours, a faint glimmer was finally visible in the distance.
...
"￥……%……"
Perhaps sensing the familiar fluctuations emanating from the Sea King, a divine beast species from the sea king clan, riding on a massive whale nearly a hundred meters long, approached Tang Haofei and the others.
It spoke a long string of words that Tang Haofei couldn’t understand, and then the Sea King communicated with this divine beast for a while before waving to Tang Haofei behind him.
"We're here. Do you feel a sense of familiarity?"
Upon hearing the Sea King's words, Tang Haofei carefully sensed his surroundings, then opened his eyes and looked at a specific spot below, a glimmer flashing in his eyes.
This place stirred a slight sense of instinct belonging to the divine beast species within Tang Haofei's body.
...
"This is a mysterious place discovered by my clan's divine beast species. According to our observations, the traces at the entrance appear to be naturally formed, but the situation inside seems to be more like an artificially created environment."
"My instincts and premonitions tell me that what is hidden inside is very important to my clan, but our powerful members cannot break through the defenses of this cave—this is not about strength, but rather because the environment inside is truly unfriendly to my clan, so I want you to help us retrieve what is inside. Is that okay?"
Hearing the Sea King's request, Tang Haofei carefully sensed the aura below once again, and after a moment, he gently nodded.
"I'll do my best."
Tang Haofei did not make a definitive promise.
Upon hearing Tang Haofei's answer, the Sea King made a gesture indicating for him to enter the dark entrance, a friendly smile on his fearsome face, then he led the four divine beasts from the sea king clan and Walter away.
