Chapter 0384: Is It Luck?

“Chieftain, what should we do now?” Donald asked anxiously in the clan hall.
With such a situation arising in the Sea of Wind and Thunder, even peerless warriors having perished, the danger in the Yellow Sea was unimaginable.
Kennedy frowned and pondered for a while before saying, “For now, we can only send people like Ba Yisi from the Haiyuan Mansion to the Sea of Wind and Thunder.” It was too late to send more people from the headquarters. However, the Runing family had extensive influence in the Netherworld, and their power in the Haiyuan Mansion was significant. The person in charge there was a descendant named Ba Yisi, an eighth-level Nether King warrior.
But with peerless warriors already fallen, what use was an eighth-level Nether King warrior?
“What about the Supreme God?” Donald couldn’t help but ask.
This matter could be serious or minor, but if something really happened in the Yellow Sea, it wasn’t something to take lightly.
Kennedy pondered before finally sighing and saying, “We have no choice but to report the situation truthfully to the Supreme God.”
At that moment, Huang Long and Brade finally arrived at the Sea of Wind and Thunder.
When Huang Long arrived and saw the vast, grayish sea before him, he realized the rumors weren’t false. Above the sea, clusters of storms floated like mist in the sky. These storms didn’t blow fiercely but remained fixed in certain locations, or rather, within a limited range.
Hundreds of meters above the sea surface were these storm areas, while above a thousand meters lay the lightning zones. The lightning was grayish-black and didn’t spread across the sky in streaks but existed in circular forms. From a distance, they looked like half-meter-sized black balls. As these black lightning balls flickered, their destructive power spread—even an ordinary high-ranking god would be severely damaged if touched by them.
As for the birth of the Wind and Thunder Pearl, it was related to these storms and lightning balls.
After trillions of years of fusion and collision between the energies of storms and lightning balls, mutations occurred, forming storm clouds. At the center of these storm clouds, Wind and Thunder Pearls would form. Strangely, these storm clouds didn’t last long—maximally one or two months. Once the storm clouds disappeared, the Wind and Thunder Pearls formed at their centers would vanish as well.
This was why Brade had said that even peerless warriors couldn’t find these Wind and Thunder Pearls without the right opportunity.
“Let’s go down,” Huang Long said after they arrived at the Sea of Wind and Thunder, after staring at it for a while.

Although the storms and thunderballs were above the surface of the Sea of Wind and Thunder, the mutated thunderstorm clouds were deep beneath its seabed. Therefore, if they wanted to find the Wind and Thunder Beads, they had to dive into the seabed of the Sea of Wind and Thunder.

“Yes, young master,” replied Brad, before he and Huang Long vanished from the surface of the sea and descended into the depths.

Not long after they reached the seabed, several figures appeared above where they had stood—Jared and four others from the Terrence family.

“Elder Jared, rumors say that those peerless warriors have all perished. What do you think? Are we among them?” asked a young man behind Jared as they arrived above the Sea of Wind and Thunder, hesitantly.

This young man was the same one who had scolded Brad at the hotel—Layze, a high-ranking god at the peak of the Seventh Level of the King of Darkness. Though he didn’t finish his sentence, it was clear he was afraid to retreat.

Of the five, he was the weakest in strength. Of course, at the peak of the Seventh Level of the King of Darkness, he would be a formidable figure anywhere else.

Ever since hearing the news of the peerless warriors’ deaths, Layze had been uneasy. After all, no one wanted to die. He hadn’t dared to suggest retreating along the way, but now, facing the Sea of Wind and Thunder, he felt it might well be his grave.

“Layze,” said Jared without turning, his tone indifferent.

“Yes, Elder Jared,” replied Layze, his heart tightening as he hurriedly responded.

“You think it’s no longer safe even staying by this elder’s side, right? That this elder lacks the strength to protect you?” Jared’s tone grew harsher, his expression cold.

“Yes,” Layze replied impulsively in his panic, voicing his true thoughts. But as soon as the words left his mouth, he paled in fear and quickly added, “No, no, no! That’s not what I meant at all! Layze never had such thoughts!”

Jared snorted coldly, causing Layze to shudder.

Jared held great prestige in the Terrence family. Though not as influential as Bishop in the Runing family, his status was still very high.

“It’s better if it’s not true,” Jared said gravely as Layze grew more anxious. Then he slowly continued, “Do you think the Sea Scorpion clan has a dozen or dozens of peerless warriors? This time, even if the Sea Scorpion clan from the Abyssal Sea enters the Sea of Wind and Thunder to hunt down human god-level warriors, at most they’ll send two or three of their strongest warriors.”

Layze and the other three nodded in agreement.

“That Balon was just unlucky—happening to encounter that large army of powerful Scorpion Clan warriors entering the Sea of Wind and Thunder, which is why he was surrounded and killed,” said Jared, then glancing at the four of them. “As long as you’re not like Balon, you don’t need to worry.”

Balon was that peerless warrior who perished in the Sea of Wind and Thunder.

Jared wasn’t without reason. With an elder from the Terrence family like him around, as long as they weren’t as unlucky as Balon, their safety would be assured. Surely they wouldn’t be as unfortunate as him?

“Then let’s go. Once we enter the Sea of Wind and Thunder, I hope everyone stays united. Otherwise, you should know what the family does to those who betray it!” Jared said coldly.

“Yes, Elder Jared!” The four replied, feeling much more at ease, including Laze.

The five of Jared vanished in a flash and entered the Sea of Wind and Thunder.

Not long after they disappeared, Bai Yisi, the person in charge of the Runing Clan at the Sea Plain Mansion and one who had received orders from Clan Leader Kennedy, also led a dozen Level 7 Dark King warriors into the Sea of Wind and Thunder.

“Everyone understands the task assigned by the clan this time?!” Bai Yisi asked gravely upon arriving in the Sea of Wind and Thunder.

“We do, Lord Bai Yisi!” The dozen Level 7 Dark King warriors behind him replied respectfully.

Bai Yisi nodded. “No matter what the cost, you must rescue Huang Hai!”

“Yes, Lord Bai Yisi!”

“Let’s go!”

Bai Yisi and his group vanished directly from the surface of the Sea of Wind and Thunder and descended into the sea.

After Huang Long, Jared, Bai Yisi, and the others entered the seabed of the Sea of Wind and Thunder, occasional divine-level warriors also entered. Although most divine-level warriors heard that even the peerless warrior Balon had perished in the Sea of Wind and Thunder, some still entered, confident in their own strength and sharing Jared’s mindset.

After Huang Long and Brade descended into the seabed of the Sea of Wind and Thunder, they continued to sink deeper.

Within a thousand meters below the surface, there were mostly ordinary lower-tier sea beasts. These beasts had little offensive power and swam among the coral reefs, adding a sense of tranquility to the underwater world. It was very quiet down there—the sunlight refracted from above couldn’t reach depths of several hundred meters. At first glance, the seabed appeared green and dim.

However, below a thousand meters, there were more mid-to-high-tier sea beasts. Of course, these were still sea beasts below the divine level and posed no threat to Huang Long and Brade. It wasn’t until below three thousand meters that the domain of divine-level sea beasts began.

When Huang Long and Brade descended to three thousand meters deep, they became more cautious. Huang Long had already expanded his divine sense to cover a hundred thousand miles of sea around them. “Hehe, I didn’t expect those human god-tier warriors to be so fearless. Some even entered our Wind and Thunder Sea. Just now, our Lord Calvin killed a few of them.” Shortly after entering the depths below three thousand meters, Huang Long and Brade encountered a group of god-tier turtle and crab sea beasts—over a hundred in total. The vast majority were lower-tier gods, with only a few being mid-tier gods. The one who had spoken just now was a mid-tier god in the form of a giant turtle. This giant turtle had a massive body, its shell dark green and a hundred feet wide, covered with stripes. Yet as it spoke, its mung bean-sized eyes blinked, and its four short turtle legs moved awkwardly, giving it an odd appearance. “Fearless? Isn’t that perfect? Tsk tsk, the divine bodies of these human god-tier warriors are truly delicious. I got one the day before yesterday—just thinking about it makes my mouth water,” said a mid-tier god in the form of a red crab beside the giant turtle, waving its two giant pincers while drool even appeared at the corners of its flat mouth. “But honestly, these divine bodies of human god-tier warriors are indeed highly nourishing for us,” said the giant turtle, nodding its turtle head. Having been tempered and transformed by countless tens of thousands of years of divine power, consuming these bodies helped these god-tier sea beasts improve their cultivation. “Highly nourishing? But your sea beast crystals are also very nourishing for us,” came a mocking voice as the giant turtle and red crab were discussing the taste of human god-tier warrior divine bodies. “Who’s there? Show yourself!” The giant turtle and red crab were startled and searched around. The other turtles and crabs also heightened their divine powers and became alert. Huang Long and Brade revealed themselves. “Human god-tier warriors!” they exclaimed upon seeing Huang Long and Brade. At this moment, Brade had taken human form and concealed his aura, so the giant turtle, red crab, and the other sea beasts did not recognize him as an Ancient Primal Beast. “So it’s two humans in the late mid-tier god stage,” said the red crab, initially shocked but then feeling relieved and smiling in delight. Huang Long and Brade deliberately kept their apparent strength at the late mid-tier god stage. “Haha, we were just thinking about the deliciousness of human god-tier warrior divine bodies, and yet two of them show up right away. Borton, don’t you think we’re lucky?” the red crab laughed loudly and turned to the giant turtle. However, the giant turtle Borton’s mung bean-sized eyes stared at Huang Long and Brade with suspicion.

Huang Long and Brade looked at the group of turtles and crabs surrounding them, exchanged a smile, and in the midst of the red crab’s loud laughter and the giant turtle’s confusion, they vanished in an instant. Soon after, cries of pain from the turtles and crabs could be heard everywhere. In the blink of an eye, Huang Long and Brade reappeared, with the group of turtles and crabs gone, leaving only the stunned giant turtle and red crab.
