My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 182 The Key
The huge thing in front of him immediately retracted its body like a frightened rabbit and buried it deep in the soil.

The walls trembled, as if something was moving back and forth quickly in the dirt.

This terrifying demonic insect that came for unknown reasons was actually forced back by the most ordinary liquid on the planet. However, at this time, there were waves of frightening sounds coming from the depths of the cave, with huge rolling sounds and roars echoing throughout the entire cave. Wandering back and forth in the underground passage.

The screams of the sharks and the roars of the giant beasts joined together, and the situation became complicated.

Do you want to go down now?

The two looked at each other, both considering this issue.

Something terrible seems to be happening in the deepest parts of the cave.

But before the two made a decision, two gunshots were suddenly heard from behind at the exit of the cave, which made Yu Dayou and the soldiers beside him feel bad.

Could it be that the demonic insect emerged from the ground?
wrong!It's still here -

Yu Dayou clung to the wall, carefully observing the movement of the thing based on the vibrations coming from the wall.

It did not drill upwards out of the surface, but rushed downwards toward the depths of the cave.

What exactly is there?
The climate inside the cave is getting colder and colder.

Yu Dayou and the noble soldiers beside him looked at each other.

A stream of light rushed in from the entrance of the cave, and the two of them recognized it as a signal for help from the northern defense soldiers when they encountered danger.

"Something happened to the northern defense soldiers who were left at the entrance of the cave!"

Yu Dayou's expression changed.

He was silent for a moment, then turned to look at the deep and dark bottom of the cave.

Now this strange shark cave is obviously experiencing some unexpected attacks.

He really wouldn't be willing to give up.

"Our mission is to eliminate the sharks along the river. We can wait for the outcome of the battle between those things before going down to the cave to harvest."

The noble soldier beside him said.

"No, you know, the observation results of the northern defense soldiers a few days ago also proved that this is an ordinary shark lair, and in just three days, not only was the cave expanded to allow certain things to enter and exit, but also There have been more than one sacrifices, and coupled with the previous attack by the demonic insects, I always feel that something is wrong - this place is only a hundred miles away from Nandu, no matter what, I have to go down and have a look."

Yu Dayou said.

Seeing Yu Dayou's resolute attitude, the forbidden soldier also thought for a moment, raised his head and said.

"I'll go out of the cave to see what happened to the Beifang soldiers. Once the matter is resolved, I'll go down to the cave to catch up with you——"

"Thank you-"

Yu Dayou thanked him.

This time his thanks were sincere, but when he turned around and was about to raise his sword and leave, the forbidden soldiers behind him stopped him again.

Maybe this separation will be the last time the two of them see each other.

"My dear Xu Youbang, after this war, you are welcome to be a guest at Duke Dingguo's mansion."

Xu Youbang, the son of Xu Pengju, the Duke of Qianhu Dingguo, the avant-garde of the imperial army, said.

-

Yu Dayou stepped into the deepest part of this damp and dark shark cave.

This place is full of corpses of the sharks. Strangely enough, they did not die at the hands of foreign enemies. The overturned debris and the harpoons that were thrown violently seemed like the sharks were killing each other.

Yu Dayou squatted down and inspected the huge wounds stabbed by harpoons on the bodies of these sharks. Although the intelligence level of the sharks was low, the harpoons could both hunt and cut people, making them the friendliest. partner.

Every shark will receive a brand new harpoon when he reaches adulthood, and it will most likely accompany him until his death.

Due to the huge demand, compared to other terrible manufacturing industries, the harpoon forging craftsmanship of the sharks can be said to be highly refined, and even the fishermen along the coast are full of praise.

It is so strong and sharp that even the shark sacrifice...

"Human -" Yu Dayou was frightened when he saw the mermaid priest in front of him who had a harpoon pierced through his chest and was stuck on the ground with blood flowing all over the ground, but still staring at him with his lips squirming and his eyes fixed on him. Jump.

He subconsciously wanted to draw out his sword and give the dying shark in front of him one last blow.

The eyes of the shark priest stared at the cold sword in Yu Dayou's hand.

When he saw the exquisite lines on it, his expression was a bit dreamy, but then, the severe pain brought him back to reality.

He said.

"As you can see, I am going to die, so there is no need to be so afraid of me——"

The eyes of the shark priest were fixed on Yu Dayou in front of him.

"What happened here-"

Yu Dayou looked at the corpses of the sharks on the ground around him, as well as the remains of some huge monsters.

he asked in a low voice.

"Want to make a contribution? Human being."

The shark's eyes lingered on his dazzling armor, and an inexplicable desire flickered in his eyes.

"..."

Yu Dayou held his sword and listened quietly. These evil and dying words could not shake his steely will. With the sword in his hand, he could chop off this officer's head at any time.

The shark priest spit out a large mouthful of blood. The blood was not blue and highly corrosive like the fish-man's blood, but was dazzling scarlet and exuding a faint fishy smell.

"What happened, Yougui——"

Yu Dayou whispered.

"Did you hear the noises in the wall before? The monster in the wall has the ability to control the mind-"

The mermaid said, as the blood mixed into the deeper and deeper water, slowly covering its body, and the sea would eventually completely swallow their souls.

"You mean, the deaths of these sharks are all due to the bewitchment of that demonic insect——"

Yu Dayou looked at the corpses of the sharks who were killing each other.

The shark priest in front of him nodded laboriously.

Confirmed Yu Dayou’s answer.

Thinking of the demagogic carols I just heard, this explanation seems reasonable.

But when Yu Dayou looked at this shark's expression, for some reason, he always felt a little weird.

"Why are they attacking you - those demonic insects, they don't seem to have any conflict with you -"

Why would a monster who is afraid of water attack these mermaids in the sea?

Yu Dayou said.

"A child...or in other words, a key, a most suitable sacrifice to a certain being——"

It pointed at the huge statue of Poseidon in the center of the cave.

"There is a secret passage below. Trust me, give it to your master, and you will receive unparalleled rewards."

The priest said, and seeing that Yu Dayou's expression was unmoved, he added.

"Don't ask why, I don't know the details, but this is something that even many kings of the sea are chasing - it is the key to the treasure of Jinling -"

"Is there anything else besides these?"

The shark priest in front of him looked excited, but Yu Dayou's expression remained calm. He raised the big blade above his head, looked at this sad and dying sea creature, and asked.
