"Aquatic Tribe..."

"Aquatic Tribe..."

"It's Aquatic Tribe again..."

Upon hearing Liao Shi's words, the three of us responded simultaneously.

"Huh? Have you guys fought against Aquatic Tribe before?"

"Sort of... Well, it's just that without defeating Aquatic Tribe's ships, we can't set sail, right?"

"Indeed, since we need to sail out to sea, while they can freely engage in water battles. If we don't repel Aquatic Tribe, then our ships will have a hard time entering the open sea."

Watching Liao Shi's serious expression, I thought he must really hope that we help them drive away Aquatic Tribe. Because he mentioned the open sea, reminding us that if we don't defeat Aquatic Tribe, the matter of reaching the Forgotten Continent would be impossible to discuss.

"We understand, you guys head to the seaside first, we'll be there soon."

"Thanks a lot."

After that, Liao Shi led his troops towards the port.

As we watched their retreating figures, I turned to Hei Luoli and the others.

"What do you guys think?"

"I don't mind, killing Aquatic Tribe is a good thing for us anyway. After all, those Aquatic Tribe are also eyeing the Forgotten Continent, aren't they?"

Taishi Xi shrugged.

"Yeah, Bai, let's lend a hand to him. Maybe they'll be able to help us in the future. Who knows, we might become heroes. After all, after Fir saved Blue Lake City, he became the idol of the residents, right?"

I really don't want to become an idol or anything like that; it just doesn't feel right to me. I thought to myself silently.

But since the two of them had agreed, I naturally had no objections.

Besides, we could gain some experience points, although I was worried that the leveling system might not work well here.

However...

"But what's the situation with Aquatic Tribe attacking now?"

I said while pondering.

"Huh?"

"We've been causing a commotion underwater for so long, if they wanted revenge, they should've attacked the Forgotten Continent, right? Yet here they are attacking the port of this continent. Why?"

"You're overthinking it, Bai. Maybe Aquatic Tribe just attacks humans everywhere? Taking advantage of their strength."

"Isn't that strange though? Humans need to sail, they can't do without stable routes or something. If it were up to me, I think either launch a war against Aquatic Tribe to make them fear or sign a treaty with them to ensure route stability. Otherwise, as it is now, Aquatic Tribe keeps attacking human ports from time to time, how can we live like this?"

"Maybe... that actually makes sense! Xiao Xi, what do you think?"

"I... how would I know? Maybe Aquatic Tribe just wants to train or something?"

"Train by risking their companions' lives? That would be too strange, right? Also, think about it, even though Aquatic Tribe occupies the entire sea area, when we went down there, we saw that there are only a few Aquatic Tribe cities. Their numbers shouldn't be that high. If they attack humans, there are so many ports on two continents, how would they handle spreading their forces?"

"Bai, you always get tangled up in such things. Instead of worrying about this, why don't we hurry to the port and see for ourselves?"

"True..."

Although we said that, something just didn't feel right.

"Nevertheless, we should be cautious."

After saying that, we all ran towards the port.

——————Next week is the exam, so tired——————

As expected, my intuition turned out to be real.

The situation was even more terrifying than we had imagined. It wasn't just a verbal description; it was the fear displayed right before our eyes.

Looking into the distance, the setting sun on the horizon was already obscured by towering waves. Even from such a distance, we could clearly see the grand army of Aquatic Tribe.

So, there are this many members in Aquatic Tribe? Their numbers almost occupy the horizon.

But if you think about it, it makes sense. Even though there are few Aquatic Tribe cities, those are the places where the Aquatic Tribe capable of transforming live.

Many Aquatic Tribe don't transform into humanoids, or even if they do, they can't fit inside the cities, and that's why they didn't go.

Especially those black-headed whales leading the entire formation now. Even if they transform into humanoids, there wouldn't be suitable housing for them in the city.

Well, that's not the focus; the focus is on the sheer number of the enemy.

But I couldn't figure out their motive for attacking the port. If you want to attack a fleet, that's one thing, but attacking a port... what else can you do besides sending out shrimp soldiers and crab generals?

You can't fly or anything...

Just as that thought crossed my mind, suddenly, a sea dragon emerged from the sea and flew into the air.

Come on, show some restraint, how come even sea dragons are here.

"Hmm, now this is getting interesting."

Taishi Xi nodded beside me.

"Hey, hey, have you lost your mind? Even if you want to fight it, can you fly like that thing?"

"Whether I can fly or not doesn't matter; as long as I can hit it, it's all good, right?"

"..."

"Well, the DPS would be pretty low that way, but even if it can't fly, we can bring it down to fight, right?"

"Why do you always have this inexplicable confidence?"

"Because it's the truth!"

Fine, let Taishi Xi fantasize on her own.

But the key is not about this now.

The key is Aquatic Tribe's motive.

If we really think about it, they do have a motive. After all, we helped them demolish a city, and although we don't know the specifics of their reward, it should be valuable.

Yeah, that indeed is a good reason to attack humans.

However, here's the problem: the other side doesn't know we're here yet. If they did, they'd just send elites to kill us directly. Why use an entire army? Wouldn't that make it easier for us to escape?

Moreover, even we don't know our exact location. How did they find out?

Do we have tracking devices on us?

That's unlikely; even if we did, they would have been washed away by the ocean currents long ago, right?

But if Aquatic Tribe is launching a full-scale attack on humans...

Are they stupid?

And at that moment, all those Aquatic Tribe suddenly halted about a kilometer away from the port.

"What are these guys up to?"

Taishi Xi asked in confusion.

"Who knows..."

But the subsequent actions of Aquatic Tribe quickly revealed their intentions. The black-headed whales suddenly spewed out a column of water, and then beams of black light shot out from the black base, hitting the water columns.

The water columns turned black in mid-air, cut across the sky, and fell straight into the port.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Soon after, screams rang out; wherever the black water landed, a large hole appeared immediately, turning everything, whether objects or people, into black water!

"Damn..."

Aquatic Tribe played dirty!
