Dark clouds gathered over the azure Nether Sea, completely covering up the last ray of sunlight in less than a quarter of an hour.
"Rumble..."
Thunder roared in the black sky, and flashes appeared one after another, covering the sky and the earth like dense spider webs.
Suddenly, a wrist-thick bolt of lightning fell from the sky and hit the sea. As if it had received some kind of order, the third and fourth...
Endless, the sea surface and the sky were connected by thunder and lightning. It was a terrifying sight. Countless people on the battleship were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Even Lu Yue could not remain calm this time.
Wang Dong also narrowed his eyes. He had been drifting on the sea for a month and had never seen any kind of scene, but he had never encountered such a crazy scene like now.
"Sea storm!" The people on the battleship told him the name, which was indeed vivid enough, because there was indeed a riot on the sea. Tornadoes rose out of the sky, and huge waves covered each other. Even such a huge battleship could not It finally started to feel like a storm.
"Is this the power of heaven and earth?" He looked admiringly, with envy on his face.
"No!" Lu Yue shook her head and corrected, "This is the power of the Netherworld Sea."
"The Netherworld Sea is not big, but it accommodates hundreds of rivers. It accommodates countless rivers around it. Except for the tide, the coastline never rises. It is said that all this water flows to the Netherworld."
"Netherworld?" Wang Dong was confused. He found that this sea area was far from simple. He took everything too simply.
There was an expression of fear on the bearded face, and he said: "We don't know what it is specifically. Some families record that the netherworld is an era; some record that the netherworld is the land of Yama; and many more believe that the netherworld is a mythical era. But Everyone knows that the Nether One can rule the entire Dark Continent."
Wang Dong was doubtful, but he knew that the ten major families were just the guardians of the coast of the Nether Sea. There were Wuzongs deep in the Dark Continent. They were the real rulers of this continent. If this was the case, it would be absolutely impossible for these people. Sitting back and doing nothing.
As if he saw Wang Dong's doubts, the bearded man smiled bitterly and said: "We can't hide the news from Netherworld, so those big shots won't wait here stupidly all day long."
The Netherworld Sea was in a doomsday-like scene, but the battleship didn't seem to be evacuating at all. Lu Yue told him that this was both a death and an opportunity.
"Are you looking for wealth in danger?" Wang Dong understood very well. He has always walked this way. "What are you looking for?"
Lu Yue was beautiful, but she had a sad look on her face at this moment, her eyes full of worry. She stared at Wang Dong hesitating for a moment and finally said: "Netherworld Fruit!"
She knew that Wang Dong seemed to know very little about the Netherworld Sea and the Dark Continent, so she explained: "There is a huge Netherworld tree on the Netherworld Seabed. It will bear a Netherworld Fruit every few years. According to legend, the day when the tenth Netherworld Fruit is born. It’s the day when the whole underworld ends or begins again.”
"A period of time, how long is that?" Wang Dong asked.
Lu Yue shook her head and said, "I don't know, it could be a hundred years, it could be a thousand years, or it could be longer."
Lu Yue told him that eight Nether Fruits had been born in endless years, five of which were in the hands of the ten major families, and three were in the hands of several adults deep in the Dark Continent.
Wang Dong understood something, and his head was suddenly covered with black lines. He looked at the thunder that struck the sea like a world-destroying thing, and said: "You don't know when the ninth Nether Fruit will be born, so you are just waiting here. This is not waiting to die." ?"
Lu Yue smiled sadly, her voice full of helplessness, and said: "Who told us that our ancestor passed away not long ago? The existence of the ten major families is firstly the Netherworld Fruit, and secondly, there are Martial Lords above level six sitting in charge. Now we all have No, if you die here, you will die if you go back, it’s better to fight.”
It turns out that the ten major families are a special existence in the Dark Continent. They are not static. On the edge of the Nether Sea, there are countless families who are eyeing the positions of the ten major families all the time. In the endless years, many families have indeed been eliminated. , and Lu Yue's family happens to be one of the oldest families that has never been eliminated, but now it is finally facing this step.
As Lu Yue spoke, the Netherworld Sea became more violent, and Wang Dong also gained a certain understanding of the Netherworld Sea, the Dark Continent, and the ten major families.
The so-called top ten families have both honor and status, but at the same time they are also puppets.
The ten major families are lined up along the Netherworld Coast. They control the most enviable thing along the coast. This is also the basis for other families to peek at the status of the ten major families. At that time, it was the Netherworld Sea Teleportation Formation.
Wang Dong was also surprised by this thing. As Lu Yue explained, he became more and more shocked. The battleship under his feet was actually teleported directly, and there was the Lu family's teleportation array nearby.
At first, he was just shocked by such a huge teleportation array, but later he understood why a teleportation array could cause the Lu Yue family to be in danger of being wiped out.
He recalled the scene when he captured Kun Biao. Sea kings of that level still gave him chills. Lu Yue told him that sea kings of this level were the guardians of the Netherworld Sea. Warships like theirs would inevitably be damaged if they sailed long distances. became the target of attack, so using the teleportation array to reach all parts of the Netherworld Sea became the best way to go out to sea.
"This time we risked everything, either to die at the bottom of the sea, or to go back with the Netherworld Fruit!" Lu Yuefeng's eyes suddenly shone, looking particularly determined.
"Are you so sure that Nether Fruit will be born this time?" Wang Dong questioned.
"Do you know why we didn't leave when we saw such a violent sea storm?" Lu Yue said loudly, "The Nether Fruit has not been born for five hundred years, and the last sea storm occurred three hundred years ago."
"What does this have to do with anything?" The thunder in the sky became louder and louder, and the sound of the waves overwhelmed everything, and Wang Dong had to shout loudly.
Lu Yue suddenly smiled, and in an instant she felt that the whole sky was bright. Her long hair was flying with the strong wind, and she looked like an elf. She looked at the windy and misty battleship and said: "The Nether Fruit is only born in sea storms." , and the power of this sea storm has not been seen in thousands of years."
"Rumble..."
Pale lightning illuminated the sky, and the sky was so heavy that it almost collapsed. The depressing atmosphere made people breathless.
Small groups of tornadoes in the distance began to gather together, swallowing each other and becoming larger and larger, and finally stirred up the sea water, like water dragons, raking freely on the sea surface.
"It's about to begin!"
The bearded man commanding the battleship in the distance opened his eyes and roared. At the same time, all the members on the battleship returned to their posts tremblingly and nervously.
Lu Yue took a deep breath, suddenly looked back at Wang Dong, and said: "If something goes wrong in a while, you can escape first. The battleship looks strong, but we are not sure about facing the adult Sea King. I shouldn't involve you." Come in."
Wang Dong was noncommittal, but he was becoming more and more interested in the Nether Fruit, but he also secretly informed Wuying to be ready to respond to him at any time.
Now that he is an eighth-level warrior, he has always been connected to Wuying, so close communication is nothing.
Outside the battleship, Kun Biao jumped ten feet high, and then plunged into the deep sea, which was a response to Wang Dong.
Wang Dong turned around, and Big Beard commanded the battleship to fight against the wind and waves and avoid the tornado. Lu Yue was also constantly boosting morale. For a while, he was the only one on the entire battleship who was idle.
But after watching for a while, he couldn't help but frown. He knew that the bearded man was the deputy captain, but he seemed to have never seen the captain.
While he was doubting, a burst of cheers suddenly came, and the previous low morale was completely wiped out.
"The captain is back!"
"Captain, you are finally back!"
Wang Dong found that both Big Beard and Lu Yue breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
He raised his eyes and looked in the direction where everyone was cheering, and saw a figure on the sea, stepping on a two-meter-long sailboat. As the waves kept jumping up and down, the thick-wristed thunder struck down one after another, and all of them landed on the ground. Beside this person.
The figure finally came closer. Wang Dong's pupils shrank sharply, his mouth opened so wide that he almost bit off his tongue.
"Female?" He never expected that the much-anticipated captain was actually a woman, and she seemed to be extremely young.
This is a stunningly beautiful woman, no less beautiful than Lu, but she has a different kind of temperament.
The woman on the sailboat jumped up and flew into the battleship's secret compartment that had already been opened. This time Wang Dong could see it very clearly. The purple shirt, long black and shiny hair, and tender white skin looked particularly attractive at this moment.
"Captain!" The crew members obviously respected him very much. As soon as the woman landed, everyone stood up and shouted in unison.
"Sister!" Lu Yue was extremely happy and rushed forward quickly. She actually started crying and twitched, "Woooo... I was almost eaten by a sea beast!"
The woman obviously hurt Lu Yue very much. After hearing this, she grabbed Lu Yue and checked her whole body. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there were no missing arms or legs.
However, she immediately turned her eyes and glanced at the crowd in a very threatening manner: "Who took Yue'er out? Do you dare not listen to my orders?"
In an instant, several wounded people stood up. They all lowered their heads and did not dare to breathe. One of them trembled and said: "Yes... I'm sorry, I..."
When Lu Yue saw it, she immediately stopped the purple-robed woman and said that she was the one who forced her to do it. After some persuasion, the purple-robed woman's anger finally calmed down.
"By the way, this is my savior, Wang Dong!" In front of the purple-robed woman, Lu Yue was as lively as an elf. She grabbed Wang Dong's hand and pulled it towards the purple-robed woman.
The purple-robed woman's eyes were like lightning, and she glanced over, her brows suddenly furrowed, and she said: "Eighth-level warrior?"
She heard from Lu Yue that he was besieged by a group of Sea Kings. It was obviously impossible for the man in front of her to defeat a group of Sea Kings with his strength.
