Chapter 332: Chapter 331: Missing

"Plunge!"

Lin Hao, like a humanoid stone, rolled off the Skeleton and dropped into the ocean, causing a splash.

Almost at the same time, dozens of ugly Half Mermaids also plunged into the sea with a series of splashes.

"What a strong human. When did humans grow to such an extent? Not even the Catastrophe Heavenly Thunder could kill him." Michelle Miller’s face, normally the envy of the Ruins Sea, now turned utterly pale, as white as a sheet.

She stood on the giant bones, looking down at the waters as she let out a long sigh.

Though the Human Clan member was strong, still, she had won.

It was a costly victory, provoking a Catastrophe Heavenly Thunder that would reduce the Mermaids’ lifespan by ten years. Although Mermaids lived long, ten years wasn’t trivial.

Damn it!

A cold light flickered in Michelle Miller’s eyes.

To lose ten years of life for just one human, what a waste!

Once that human was captured and brought up, she would make sure his life was worse than death!

Clutching her fist tightly, Michelle Miller took a deep breath and slowly coiled her body.

The human being struck by thunder would either be dead or severely injured, falling into the ocean, there was no possibility he could survive.

Her subordinates, despite being weak in combat, wouldn’t have a problem capturing a human injured by lightning.

But... why hasn’t he been found yet after this much time?

Michelle Miller felt an ominous feeling looking at the sea surface.

"General! General!"

Suddenly, the sea surface splashed as an ugly Mermaid swiftly emerged and crawled in front of Michelle Miller, twisting its hideous lower body.

"General, the human... the human is gone..."

Michelle Miller glanced faintly at her subordinate, a flicker of anger crossing her mind.

Making a big deal out of it, it’s just a human after all.

Struck by the Catastrophe Heavenly Thunder and not turned into ash; it would be normal for him to be dead, what’s with all the fuss?

Is there a need to report this?

"Dead? Then bring up the body. What about the Azure Blue Crystal?"

His corpse was not important now since he’s dead anyway. But the Azure Blue Crystal is a Holy Artifact; it must be secured. Doesn’t her subordinate realize this?

Michelle Miller felt an urge to hit someone.

But, the ugly Mermaid shook its head repeatedly: "No... we followed him into the water, and there’s no one down there."

"No one?" Michelle Miller was startled, her weakened body suddenly straightened, a cold light flashing in her eyes.

This marine area was very familiar to the Mermaid tribe.

It could be said to be their backyard.

How could several dozen Mermaids dive in together and still not find a human almost killed by the lightning?

This was utterly impossible.

Could it be that the human faked his death after being struck?

It made no sense. They had been fiercely fighting for so long; why pretend to be dead now?

"Search! Everyone, search for me!"

Michelle Miller suddenly erupted in fury.

It wasn’t just about the missing human; the Azure Blue Crystal was still on him.

That was a treasure of the Mermaid Tribe. If something happened to it, even her death would not suffice to atone for it!

At her command, hundreds of Mermaids immediately dived into the water.

In this sea, though the waves were turbulent, they weren’t as violent as in the outer seas.

The Half-Mermaids jumped into the sea, even if that human hid in some seagrass, there was no way he could escape.

Michelle Miller took a deep breath, her face icy as she stood at the edge of Bone Island, looking down at the sea without uttering a word.

Time ticked by.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes!

A whole hour passed, and even Michelle Miller, who had weakened from casting a Forbidden Curse, had recovered. Yet, nearly a thousand Mermaids couldn’t find Lin Hao in the sea!

"Damn it!"

Michelle Miller grew increasingly uneasy, finally yelling in anger and jumping into the sea herself.

The water in this sea area was not too murky, except for the parts submerged by giant white bones, the skeletons were covered with seagrass.

Michelle Miller extended her senses, not missing even a small clump of grass.

But, after another full hour of searching, there was still no trace of Lin Hao.

Where is he?

Michelle Miller frowned and finally jumped out from the sea, alighting on a vertebra of a huge tiger skeleton as large as a mountain, her face gloomy as she looked at the sea.

Behind her, thousands of ugly Mermaids, not daring to utter a word, or even breathe too loudly, watched Michelle Miller in silence, frightened and apprehensive.

How could the person just disappear?

Michelle Miller was extremely puzzled.

Could he have escaped?

That was impossible. In that state, no one should have been able to escape.

But, under the sea surface, there truly was no one, not even in the seabed silt had Michelle Miller searched.

Alive, we must see the person; dead, we must see the body, yet now we haven’t seen even a hair.

"Gen... General..."

After a long time, one ugly Half-Mermaid finally gathered the courage to call out behind Michelle Miller.

"No need to say more." Michelle Miller took a deep breath, stood up, and commanded as she looked at the sea: "Have half of the people stay here, continue searching. The rest, come back to the tribe with me."

"What about these humans?" The ugly Half-Mermaid dared not say more, their eyes drifting aside.

There were still three to five hundred mind-controlled survivors captured, all acting like fools, immersed in the Illusion Technique.

According to the hunting customs, these people should have been divided among the Mermaids for consumption, keeping only a few or the beautiful females to take back.

But, the words Lin Hao said before jumping into the sea, made these ugly Mermaids fearful.

Who knows who Lin Hao’s companions are, if they accidentally kill the wrong person, wouldn’t Lin Hao exterminate their Mermaid tribe?

Normally these Mermaids wouldn’t care.

Exterminating their Mermaid tribe would be a big joke.

But now, they all have become wary of Lin Hao’s warnings.

A human who could break free from the Illusion Technique, a human who ignored the mind attacks of hundreds of Half-Mermaids, a human who could withstand the Catastrophe Heavenly Thunder of a Forbidden Curse, not only not getting reduced to ashes but also disappearing right under their eyes.

They didn’t dare treat such a human’s words as a joke.

Even Michelle Miller started to feel uneasy inside.

"Take them back! Take them all back!"

Finally, Michelle Miller waved her hand and after one last glance at the sea, she walked towards the deepest parts of Skeleton Islands.

A human ran away, even the azure crystal lost; such misconduct would surely lead to severe punishment when she returned to the tribe.

But, how that person vanished from under their watch was something Michelle Miller couldn’t understand.

The gloom once again enveloped the sea area, as the fog over the sea remained dense.

Like the Dead Zone of Bone Island, silence reigned once again, only the turbulent sea and the five hundred ugly Half-Mermaids left behind to continue searching for Lin Hao on this hellish sea surface, their figures faintly discernible.
