Chapter 599: Section 386: Holy Domain Level Behemoth

Upon receiving the reminder from the Tower Spirit, the dragon-man youth immediately halted and stood still.

He then noticed that the lights in the corridor were dim, and the entire Deep Sea Monster Fish was silent.

The dragon-man youth asked, “Tower Spirit, what exactly happened?”

The Tower Spirit answered, “Current ship coordinates unknown, Divine Artifact Mermaid’s Fairy Tale has experienced disturbances, estimated probability of teleportation is 99%, being caught in a massive illusion 0.8%, other possibilities 0.2%. Captain, I suggest you check the nautical log.”

The Deep Sea Monster Fish’s nautical log came in various forms, with records kept nearly every moment.

The dragon-man youth tiptoed to the cockpit.

Standing in front of the alchemy control panel, he quickly accessed the nautical log.

He found that he had only been unconscious for a short time.

Just a few hours.

“What exactly happened during the time I was unconscious?”

The Magic Image began to play.

He saw the scene of Feng Lian and three Golden Level warriors in fierce battle.

Of course, this scene was recorded by the Deep Sea Monster Fish, but the dragon-man youth had been inside the Divine Wind at the time and was unaware.

“Feng Lian’s combat power is incredible!”

“So, it was Feng Lian’s attack…”

The dragon-man youth saw himself break through the hull of the Divine Wind and plunge into the sea.

But the next moment, a pale green wind chased after him and entered his body.

The dragon-man youth watched as his body shook and then showed no signs of life.

The body of the dragon-man youth slowly sank into the sea, but soon the Deep Sea Monster Fish dispatched a Deep Sea Salvager, who carried the immobile dragon-man youth back on board.

During this process, a blood-colored glow flickered around the dragon-man youth.

“Did the Blood Core activate?” The dragon-man youth was greatly shaken.

He was all too familiar with such a glow.

“So, I nearly got killed. The Blood Core must have activated and repaired the damaged organs inside my body.”

“Can this mysterious alchemy treasure actually start up on its own?”

“Did it automatically activate upon detecting a life-threatening situation for the Host?”

The dragon-man youth had sensed that breeze when it struck.

But at that time, he was inside the Divine Wind, so this part wasn’t included in the Magic Image from the Deep Sea Monster Fish.

However, the dragon-man youth had a very deep impression of that breeze!

Because when he had infiltrated the Divine Wind pirate ship, he was wearing alchemy goggles.

This alchemy tool, gifted by Bu Quan to the dragon-man youth, could detect threats and mark them with different colors based on their threat level.

This treasure was incredibly practical and had provided substantial assistance to the dragon-man youth during his battle with Teng Donglang.

Naturally, the dragon-man youth wouldn’t give up such a practical tool for his infiltration.

Of course, now it had been enhanced with the Deception and Disguise Skill and Anti-Intelligence Prophecy Skill, just like his Big Arena Badge and golden silk chain armor.

That breeze, seemingly trivial, was actually marked purple to the point of blackness in the dragon-man youth’s vision!

The windscreen’s threat levels were marked from least to most dangerous in white, green, yellow, red, and purple.

Purple was the highest level, indicating that the adversary’s combat power far exceeded that of the user, and retreat was the primary suggestion.

The breeze was not just purple, it had turned so purple it was nearly black.

Therefore, as soon as the dragon-man youth detected it, he instinctively breached the ship and fled.

But he still could not escape the strike.

“If it weren’t for the Blood Core, I might have died!” The dragon-man youth felt an aftertaste of fear.

After being returned to the ship, the Yellow Crab Alchemist immediately came over, extending crab-like limbs to examine the dragon-man youth and ascertained the situation.

The dragon-man youth received a bit of treatment and was taken to rest in his personal Captain’s quarters.

And just as the Alchemy Puppet had stepped out of the Captain’s quarters, a burst of blue-white light suddenly erupted, filling the entire Deep Sea Monster Fish.

The record in the nautical log paused at that point.

Recalling the Tower Spirit’s earlier response, the dragon-man youth immediately called up the Magic Image from the other cabin just before the incident.

In the cabin, the Divine Artifact Mermaid’s Fairy Tale, indeed, was the source of the blue-white burst of light.

Before the light erupted, the artifact underwent severe trembling, and a high-pitched, shrill noise resonated. The noise sounded like fingernails screeching against glass.

“The Tower Spirit wasn’t wrong; it was this artifact again!” The dragon-man youth smirked wryly.

Mermaid’s Fairy Tale had caused disturbances before.

Back then, a great melee had broken out on Twin Eyes Island.

After the disruption caused by Mermaid’s Fairy Tale, it had cracked the Fishmen’s key disguise, and by some stroke of luck, allowed the survivors to reap substantial benefits.

Now, another disturbance had occurred.

“According to the Tower Spirit’s analysis, the entire ship was teleported to an unknown location,” the dragon-man youth continued to review the next segment of the voyage journal.

Within the magic image was the Deep Sea Monster Fish scouting its surroundings.

Thus, the dragon-man youth saw a “mountain.”

“A snow mountain.”

He couldn’t help but take a sharp breath; this was no snow mountain—it was clearly a colossal white beast as large as a mountain.

The life breath emitted by the giant beast made his heart sink to the bottom.

Holy Domain Level!

“What kind of Holy Domain Level creature is this beast?”

“The surrounding area is filled with seawater, which means we are still in the ocean.”

“But there is ample light, and it’s not coming from the beast…”

“Oh, my goodness!”

The magic image continued to unfold, allowing the dragon-man youth to see the environment where the snow mountain beast resided.

He couldn’t help but open his mouth slightly, his face filled with astonishment.

Snowbird Port’s City Lord.

The brilliance of the banquet hall was even more abundant than the mysterious realm where the dragon-man youth found himself.

Delicious dishes gave off their fragrance, and the music was melodious.

The guests gathered in groups of twos and threes, occasionally glancing towards the same corner during their conversations.

There, the most important figures of Snowbird Port at that time were nearly all gathered.

The City Lord of Snowbird Port, the Sea Bird Bishop, Zong Ge, Zi Di, as well as Kong Pan and Yue Qian, the two Navy Commanders.

Following an introduction by the City Lord of Snowbird Port, Zong Ge greeted them with a bow.

Kong Pan smiled and sized up Zong Ge: “Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps’ squad leader, you have achieved fame throughout the nation for slaying a Golden Level with Silver Level strength.”

Zong Ge immediately stated that a significant part of this achievement came from the City Lord of Snowbird Port himself. It was because he had proactively lent equipment to enhance Zong Ge’s combat strength that he managed, in the final moments, to luckily kill Teng Donglang.

This response made the City Lord of Snowbird Port’s smile grow even wider.

Zi Di, holding a wine glass, stood on the side with a smile.

Such a reply from Zong Ge, of course, wasn’t his real intention. It was Zi Di who had anticipated the conversation’s content and had instructed Zong Ge in advance.

Zong Ge recited his well-rehearsed lines, and for the moment, he had just barely managed to navigate through the situation.

“I’m a bit tired, you young people go ahead and mingle,” Kong Pan said after exchanging a few words, her brow slightly furrowed, indicating her desire to leave.

She was injured and undergoing treatment.

On the contrary, Yue Qian, who had been fatally wounded, looked very healthy thanks to the complete recovery via the Resurrection Technique.

The City Lord of Snowbird Port quickly indicated that he had prepared a room specifically for Kong Pan’s use.

But Kong Pan shook her head and spoke self-deprecatingly, “I feel more at ease on the ship. I’m old; it might be a bad habit of the elderly.”

“Pardon my boldness, Commander Kong Pan, but may I have a moment alone to speak with you? It’ll only take a few minutes of your time, is that all right?” Zi Di, seeing this, hurriedly spoke up.

With Kong Pan’s departure threatening to disrupt her plans, she had no choice but to act.

According to the information they had gathered, the Lijian family had recruited outsiders such as Sand in Fingertips, and though Yue Qian was set to be a future pillar of support, his experience was almost entirely in military service with little to do with managing political affairs.

If the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps wanted to gain the support of the Lijian family, they had to start with Kong Pan.

Kong Pan glanced around, casting a quick look at the City Lord of Snowbird Port.

The City Lord of Snowbird Port quickly responded with a smile.

Only then did Kong Pan nod her head with reluctance, “Follow me, and before I leave the City Lord’s Mansion and board the carriage, I hope you can make your point clear.”

In her view, Zi Di was just a Silver Level Mage and also just a member of a small mercenary group. Even with the backing of an arms dealer, she did not warrant enough significance for Kong Pan to stay a few extra minutes.

Zi Di thanked her quickly and gave Zong Ge a look before hurrying out of the banquet hall with Kong Pan.

Zi Di started by flattering Kong Pan, but noticing Kong Pan’s indifferent gaze and expressionless face, she switched topics.

She mentioned that they had prepared some supplies as a reward for the Kingdom’s second Navy.

This piqued Kong Pan’s interest slightly.

After all, she knew that behind the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps was an arms dealer.

However, she was disappointed to learn upon inquiry that what the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps offered was merely a batch of Dragon Power Riding Potions.

Zi Di, remaining calm, handed over a storage pouch containing no fewer than 50,000 Gold Coins to Kong Pan as she was about to board the carriage.

Kong Pan accepted the pouch and then smiled, but she did not invite Zi Di to get on the carriage: “It’s getting late, but we will stay and rest in Snowbird Port for three days.”

With that response, Zi Di knew clearly, she watched the carriage disappear from the street’s end before turning and re-entering the banquet hall.

To her surprise, however, she found that the atmosphere in the banquet hall had significantly changed.

There was no one dancing in the ballroom anymore.

Zong Ge and Yue Qian stood in the middle of the dance floor, facing each other, weapons in hand, on the verge of battle.

“What, what’s going on? How long was I gone!” Zi Di exclaimed in shock.
