On the thirteenth day after Tang Haofei entered the cave, Walter finally awaited Tang Haofei's appearance.
Looking at the hairless yet upright figure at the cave entrance, Walter let out a heavy sigh of relief.
As long as he was safe...
Beside Walter, the Sea King, who had been waiting for thirteen days, was even more impatient.
"How was it? Did you find anything?"
Tang Haofei looked into the Sea King's expectant eyes, paused for a moment, and slowly shook his head.
"I'm sorry, I didn't find anything..."
The Sea King couldn't say he was satisfied with this answer, but he didn't harbor any feelings of complaint either.
His intuition suggested that what they were looking for would greatly aid the oceanic tribe—although the Sea King's intuition was quite accurate, he didn’t know exactly how it would help...
Moreover, the Sea King wasn't absolutely certain that his intuition was correct, so if that unknown item existed, it was good; but if it didn’t, they wouldn’t die.
Life would continue as it always had to...
Thus, the broad-minded Sea King generously chose not to mention the matter again. After returning to Deep Blue City with Tang Haofei and Walter, he immediately began discussing alliance matters with Tang Haofei—of course, the venue for the alliance ceremony would be at the Beijing gathering point.
On one hand, the sea king clan needed human assistance—urban planning, infrastructure, and even cultural technology.
On the other hand, they wanted to better understand the strength of their allies.
This also meant that the oceanic tribe needed to help the humans first, by resolving the issue of demonic creatures surrounding the Beijing gathering point.
Regarding the alliance matters, the discussion between Tang Haofei and the Sea King went quite smoothly.
On the human side, they couldn't say they were impatient, but the support from the oceanic tribe was indeed very important for the Beijing side.
For the oceanic tribe, it was even simpler—the sea king clan had firmly controlled the situation in the sea. At least within the sea king clan's sphere of influence, the demonic clan couldn’t stir up much trouble.
The next steps involved continuing to expand the sea king clan's territory—which was fairly easy for a clan that naturally exerted pressure over sea creatures.
As for other matters, there was nothing urgent.
The oceanic army had nothing pressing to do, so it would be better to send amphibious sea creatures to the surface to capture some demonic creatures...
Tang Haofei and the Sea King hit it off perfectly. In just one hour, the Sea King agreed to send troops to the surface—though gathering the army would take some time.
Half a month...
After calculating the ocean beasts that needed to be mobilized, the Sea King provided an answer.
Once the cooperation plan and the timing for sending troops to the surface were finalized with the Sea King, Tang Haofei instructed Walter to head to the shallow sea area and inform Lin Haifeng of the situation.
With the help of the ocean beasts, Walter's speed of traveling back and forth was rapid. He conveyed Tang Haofei's message and brought back updates regarding the situation in Beijing.
Overall, with Wen Yu guarding the Beijing gathering point, no major mishaps had occurred, and the situation was entirely under control.
It seemed that Wen Yu's strength was no joke, Tang Haofei thought...
Then, it was as if he recalled the unknown scene he had seen in the magma sea...
A faint chill lingered in Tang Haofei's heart...
For some reason, the scene, Wen Yu's words, and his figure at that time kept lingering in Tang Haofei's mind.
Suddenly, a sound like a bubble bursting echoed.
Outside the northern city wall of the Beijing gathering point, a massive deep black Barrier instantly shattered, and black mist along with a multitude of emerald green vines rushed out wildly.
Subsequently, a dark silhouette slowly emerged from the darkness.
"The negative energy field has been broken; you are responsible for the cleanup," Wen Yu's body quickly solidified while addressing Lei on the distant city wall.
