After Li Xiao arranged Hong Zhan and the others in their respective trial areas, he returned to the underground world under the Confused Wasteland and issued an order to summon all the monks of the Hong Clan.

Just as Li Xiao was waiting for the arrival of the Hong Clan cultivator while listening to the reports of several elders on the recent situation of the Sky Hunter, he overheard something that made him a little curious.

Anyway, if he is idle now, Li Xiao plans to take a look in person. It just so happened that the place was not very far from here.

After several hours of flying at full speed, Li Xiao quickly arrived at that place.

It was just that he was a little surprised that the place was not empty, but overcrowded. As far as the eye can see, there are hundreds of people.

The strength of these people is uneven, there are demons in the Jindan period, and there are also demons in the distraction period.

Even Li Xiao sensed that a large group of monks were approaching this side in the distance.

Most of these monks are in the Jindan stage, and almost all of them are demons.

Judging from their number and size, Li Xiao guessed that this should be the nearest frontier guard. And this group of people should be called by the demon marshal who stood at the front.

Thinking about it, Li Xiao was relieved, after all, what happened here was very likely to be related to the Sea Clan.

In front of Li Xiao was a very vast primeval forest. From the outside, there is nothing out of the ordinary.

However, according to the reports of the elders, it is unknown when a visionary image suddenly appears here every once in a while.

Because you can see these images, but you can't touch them. Even if you walk in, you won't feel any strange. It's like it's really just an illusion.

Originally, only a small area of these images would appear, but each time they appeared, the scope of the images quickly expanded.

And the monsters shown in these pictures are all living in the deep sea without exception.

And sometimes there will be sea tribes.

This had to make those heavenly demons suspect that this was the ghost of the Sea Clan.

Since the Heavenly Demon army was already involved, Li Xiao naturally did not plan to wade into this troubled water.

Just as he was about to leave, that image reappeared.

I saw that above the woodland and trees in the distance, a picture of water covering an area of thousands of zhang wide appeared.

In this picture, dozens of three-zhang long fish demon beasts are besieging a huge octopus demon beast with a head that is thirty zhang long and tentacles that exceed two hundred zhang.

Whether these monsters attacked or walked through, they didn't have any effect on the surrounding environment, as if they were really just an illusion.

Seeing this scene, Li Xiao frowned.

It was just a guess before, but now he can be sure that this should be a ghost made by a demon beast called "Mirage".

The mirage is a very rare monster beast in the sea, and it usually only appears in the depths of the ocean.

Although its strength is only at the level of the Demon King, its survivability is much stronger than those Demon Emperors.

Its powerful illusion spell can even deceive the demon beasts of the Demon Queen stage.

Because of this, few people have seen them as they really are.

The illusions they created not only cover a wide area and are very realistic, but the biggest feature is that they can be cast at a great distance.

Judging from the scene in front of him, the mirage that created the illusion was probably hundreds of miles away from here.

This couldn't help but make Li Xiao feel very curious, what was the purpose of the other party deliberately creating such a false illusion so far away?

You must know that just because of the weirdness of the mirage and his rarity, I am afraid that the entire four major ocean empires together have no more than twenty mirages.

As a secret weapon, the Sea Clan usually doesn't use these guys until there is a special period.

If it is a wild mirage at this time, Li Xiao is even more strange.

Why would these guys, who usually live in the deep sea, suddenly run so far to do such a boring thing?

Thinking of this, Li Xiao couldn't help but take a closer look at the scene in this picture.

By this time, the scene had changed. After a fierce battle between the two sides, the fish monster suffered heavy losses.

The octopus was also seriously injured, but they had no intention of stopping, and they were still fighting to the death.

Until the end, all the fish monsters were killed, and the octopus was almost dying.

The octopus then devoured several of the fish carcasses before slowly leaving. There was nothing peculiar about it.

Then, the screen turned, and another picture appeared. The general scenario is more or less similar to the one above.

It's all a battle between demon beasts, and it's also very tragic.

After that, several more of the same scenes appeared, all of them very tragic. Some even end up in the same fate.

When the picture was halfway through, the hundreds of soldiers who had arrived in the distance finally arrived, and under the leadership of the demon commander, they rushed straight to the forest and began to search everywhere.

Li Xiao didn't even glance at these, and all his attention stayed in these pictures.

As the picture continued, his brow gradually furrowed.

For others, it may be a commonplace thing for some creatures of nature. But in his eyes, it was all different.

With his understanding of demon beasts, it is rare for demon beasts to fight to the death when they are of equal strength.

Especially since they are not fighting to the death for predation or competing for resources. Even these monsters are not natural predators.

After making this discovery, Li Xiao decided to go on a trip to the deep sea to investigate.

For some reason, he always felt that something big was about to happen.

In fact, what Li Xiao didn't know was that the same picture was not only here, but also happened in the Heavenly Demon Continent and several other continents.

When Li Xiao returned to the base, a part of the Hong clan had already arrived at this time.

Li Xiao arranged them to the place of trial where Renault was, and after giving Renault the right to enter and exit the place of trial, he directly transmitted to the deep sea through the teleportation of the place of trial.

Since gaining control of the entire Trials Place, it has become much easier to travel through various parts of the Harmony Space.

In the matter of the Sea Clan, Li Xiao naturally wanted to find Feng Xiaoxiao.

However, as soon as he stepped into the Windy City, he felt that the atmosphere in the entire city had become very tense, as if a storm was coming.

Regarding Li Xiao's sudden visit, Feng Xiaoxiao was obviously a little surprised.

Li Xiao didn't talk much nonsense, and asked straight to the point: "Has something strange happened to your sea clan recently?"

Listening to Li Xiao's question, Feng Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly, and then replied: "Unexpectedly, even you who are not in the sea have found out that the situation is wrong." ”

"Speaking of which, this has been going on for years. It's just that it wasn't taken seriously by everyone at first. ”、

"I didn't expect things to get worse now. ”

"We can't confirm when the whole thing started, but it should have been shortly after you left. ”

"At first, it was just that some low-level demon beasts became more aggressive. But not to the point of losing my mind. ”

Gradually, some of the powerful demon beasts began to be affected. Later, even the character of the demon beasts controlled by our sea clan became tyrannical. ”

"Now, even our Sea Clan monks have been affected. ”

"Because of this, there are constant conflicts not only between our four empires, but also between each city. ”

And the strangest thing is that after the first batch of investigators sent disappeared for no reason, the King of the Four Seas suddenly stopped tracking for no reason, and chose to retreat almost at the same time. ”

During this time, they only issued an order, telling all the Sea Clans to restrain themselves and not to fight. ”

"Except for border guards, all cities have opened protective shields, and they are not allowed to enter and leave at will unless there are special circumstances. ”

Hearing his explanation, Li Xiao's brows furrowed deeply.

He asked, "Do you know where it first happened, and where the people who investigated disappeared?"

Feng Xiaoxiao did not hesitate, and directly marked a few approximate locations on a jade map to Li Xiao.

After getting the position, Li Xiao didn't stay long and left directly.

There are a total of four places that Feng Xiaoxiao marked for Li Xiao, and they were within the range of the four ocean empires. And it's all close to the stormy sea.

And the point in the West Sea where Feng Xiaoxiao is located is actually not very far from Devil Cry City.

However, when Li Xiao arrived at Ghost Cry City, he found that this place had already become a ruin.

It can only be seen from some ruins that this should have been forcibly destroyed after a terrible battle.

In particular, there were several huge pits in the middle that were hundreds of zhang in size, and their power was probably enough to match the full force of a cultivator in the early stage of soul melting.

Not long after bidding farewell to Devil Cry City, Li Xiao plunged headlong into the sea of turmoil.

Not long after he entered the sea area, Li Xiao encountered an attack by demon beasts.

When he quickly dealt with the attack of the first wave of high-level demon beasts, it didn't take long for the second wave to appear in his divine sense sensing direction.

Li Xiao knew that he couldn't delay time here, so he hurriedly covered up all the aura and secretly sneaked away to bypass the second wave of demon beasts.

When Li Xiao bypassed four or five waves of demon beasts in a row and sneaked for more than an hour, he was finally discovered.

What found him was a huge crow monster with thorns all over its body.

Judging from the breath, the strength of this shrimp is enough to the middle stage of the Beast Emperor.

And the most peculiar thing about it is the tentacles on his head that are as many as hair, and it is the induction of these tentacles that discovers Li Xiao in the distance.
