From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

After speaking, she maneuvered the jellyfish to pass by them.

Gilbert Ocam saw her refusal, his gaze turned cold, and he raised his weapon to block her path, saying coldly, "You'd better hand over the gemstone to me!"

Sarian immediately understood what was going on.

The Sea Demon Clan had also been summoned to other worlds, experiencing what the human recruiters had been through.

Therefore, she saw through Gilbert Ocam's ill intent and shouted, "The Sea God Gem is not for your kind to touch, be wise and get lost!"

"I gave you a chance, but you're looking for death! Attack!"

Gilbert Ocam snorted coldly and was the first to make a move, raising his Knight's Sword and slashing toward Sarian.

Sarian was already under immense pressure trying to escape the pursuit of the Shadow Demon, and now being attacked by the human team, she was truly under attack from both sides.

But she had no choice; she could only resist, commanding the deep-sea jellyfish to attack, holding off Gilbert Ocam, and then casting water magic to speed towards the direction of the Sea Demon Clan's territory.

She was fifty kilometers away from the Sea Demon Clan's territory, and as long as she continued forward, she could meet the Sea Demon Clan's forces and get support.

However, Gilbert Ocam was surprisingly fast in the water, completely unaffected by the resistance of the seawater, launching a fierce attack from behind her.

She dodged left and right, narrowly escaping danger several times.

...

On the other side.

Jiang Shaoran listened to the situation through the Sea Language Skill and quickly reported, "Leader, things are not looking good. Sarian has encountered Gilbert Ocam's team and is under attack."

"Gilbert Ocam attacked Sarian?" Lu Heng immediately frowned.

At this moment, a human recruiter appeared to stir up trouble.

"Yes, Gilbert Ocam wants the [Heart of the Tides], Sarian is almost unable to hold on," Jiang Shaoran's emotions were also a bit agitated.

Lin Zeyu, who was listening by the side, couldn't help but curse, "These trash really can't stop eating shit!"

Su Muyu urgently asked, "What do we do now? With Flame Demon Gross's combat power, without the help of the Sea Demon High Priestess, we can't stop him."

In this world, Flame Demon Gross fears only the Sea Demon Clan's water magic, especially the power of the Sea God.

And the only one who can wield the Sea God Power is the Sea Demon High Priestess Sona.

After Onatu's rebellion, he used the Sea God's Scepter to activate the temple's restriction and trapped Sona in the temple.

Therefore, the barrier trapping Sona contains the power of the Vasqi Temple, which is also the Sea God's power.

We must return the [Heart of the Tides] to rescue Sona.

To forcibly break the restriction, unless the Vasqi Temple is destroyed.

The Vasqi Temple is the most sacred place for the Sea Demon Clan, and Sona absolutely would not allow anyone to destroy the temple, so the only way to free her is to retrieve the [Heart of the Tides].

However, now Sarian is not only being pursued by the Shadow Demon but also by Gilbert Ocam's team.

With her capabilities, escaping the Shadow Demon pursuit is already extremely difficult, and with Gilbert Ocam's team, she is highly likely to lose the [Heart of the Tides].

Lu Heng turned to look at Dwarf King Sorreville Copper Furnace, saying solemnly, "There is a situation on the Sea Demon Clan's side. I need to leave for a while to invite the Sea Demon High Priestess over."

Sorreville Copper Furnace was well aware that this battle was the Black Iron Dwarves' battle of destiny, and to protect the clan, he would fight to the death even if it meant sacrificing his life.

Due to the relationship with Quenching Castle, he trusted Lu Heng completely and also knew that only with the participation of the Sea Demon High Priestess could they stop Flame Demon Gross.

Therefore, he nodded emphatically, "You go. Leave this place to me. Before you return, I shall not retreat a single step, even if I fall in battle!"

Su Muyu quickly chimed in, "Should I go with you?"

Lu Heng thought for a moment and then shook his head, "You stay here and keep things under control. This place needs you more. I'll try to be quick."

After saying this, Lu Heng looked at Lin Zeyu and Xie Shi'en and said earnestly, "I'll leave this place to you both."

Xie Shi'en raised his right hand and made a fist, replying, "Alright, we'll hold on until you return."

Lu Heng signaled for the Mechanical Tiger, leaped onto its back, and soared into the sky.

The Mechanical Tiger was equipped with an anti-gravity module and a power engine, all Sikes Civilization's 2.0 technology products, so its flight speed was very fast.

Lu Heng ordered directly, "Supersonic cruise."

The wings and flight engine of the Mechanical Tiger were powered up fully, ejecting an ion flame tail, continually accelerating, breaking the sound barrier in moments, and flying toward the eastern sea area.

The Mechanical Tiger rarely used supersonic cruise in ordinary times, because breaking the sound barrier consumed energy exponentially, and the faster the speed, the more energy consumed.

However, now time was of the essence, and energy consumption was no longer a concern.

The Mechanical Tiger reached a speed of 1500 kilometers per hour, and 15 minutes later, it arrived at the location where Sarian was attacked.

Lu Heng took out the Echo Seashell, attempting to communicate with Sarian, "Where are you?"

"I'm sorry, the Sea God Gem was taken," Sarian's voice transmitted from the Echo Seashell.

"Let's meet up first," Lu Heng used her reply to find her location.

When he saw her, she was already covered in wounds, with a gash so deep it showed bone at her tail, nearly severing it, and a bloody cavity in her abdomen, with blood spreading out and dyeing a large area of the sea red.

Lu Heng frowned slightly and asked, "Are you okay?"

Sarian shook her head, reached out to grab Lu Heng's arm, and pleaded, "Please help me retrieve the Sea God Gem; it's the treasure of my clan and mustn't fall into other hands."

Lu Heng nodded in agreement, "Okay, was it taken by humans?"

Sarian nodded, "Yes, a team of human recruiters. Based on the recruiter information we collected, their leader is called Gilbert Ocam."

Many species' recruiters had been summoned to the Sea Demon World before, so the Sea Demon Clan was quite experienced in dealing with recruiters and would collect their information at the first opportunity.

Thus, Sarian knew the name Gilbert Ocam.

"Where did they go? Can you manage on your own if I go after them?" Lu Heng noticed her injuries looked severe.

Sarian shook her hand and replied, "Don't worry about me. In the deep sea, sea beasts dare not harm us, and I've already called the Sea Demon Patrol Team; they should be here soon."

Lu Heng asked, "Which direction did they go?"

"I'll have Akar take you," Sarian waved, calling over the three-meter-long jellyfish, instructing it to lead Lu Heng to find Gilbert Ocam.

Before Lu Heng set off, she added, "The Shadow Demon also went after Gilbert Ocam, so be cautious of the Shadow Demon's ambush."

Lu Heng nodded in agreement, allowing the deep-sea jellyfish Akar to lead the way to chase after Gilbert Ocam.

This deep-sea jellyfish was quite large, a full three meters long, but it had obviously been through a fierce battle earlier, as many of its tentacles were severed, leaking a semi-transparent liquid, likely its blood.

The jellyfish swam quickly forward, guiding Lu Heng's direction.

After chasing three kilometers, Lu Heng discovered signs of battle.

The Shadow Demon had probably caught up to Gilbert Ocam's team, resulting in a fight.

Furthermore, based on the combat traces, Gilbert Ocam's team seemed to have already surfaced.

After all, they were not following the Ocean system reinforcement route, and their combat power would be greatly reduced in the sea. After encountering a Shadow Demon attack, they would naturally surface as soon as possible.

The jellyfish also began to swim upward, proving this point.

Lu Heng immediately surged upward, breaking through the surface momentarily, and after emerging, his speed soared, activating the [Wind God Step] to instantly break the sound barrier, chasing forward.

After chasing for several kilometers, he finally saw Gilbert Ocam battling with the Shadow Demon on the sea surface.

The fight was fierce, and Gilbert Ocam had already gained the upper hand, poised to win.
