Xiao Ye hesitated blankly for a moment, and replied thoughtfully, "If you are talking about the king of the sea, I don't know very well. It is a creature of the same level as the wither and the ender dragon, and it is inherently very powerful, even if the evolution stage is not high, it will be revered as the king. ”

I rocked the oars and asked her, "And how many kings do you know now?" What are they all strengths? ”

"All I know is that the kings of the old faction are the Zombie King, the Skeleton King, the Wither King An Ling, and the Ender King Tang Ming. The new kings are the zombie king Kleeway and the dragon king Shadow. Xiao Ye nodded his fingers and counted them one by one.

"So much?" I frowned. Before that, I only knew about the four Mingrui level intelligences, and the one I had to focus on at the moment was Clevy.

"That's right." Xiao Ye nodded, "The strongest is An Ling, followed by Kleewe. Originally, Kui and Miji were ranked first, but after hearing that the army was defeated in the Fifteenth Realm, almost all of his subordinates took refuge in Clevy, and only a few henchmen were still following ......"

According to Sayo's narrative, I finally have a clearer understanding of the situation inside the artificial intelligence side. Those who are called kings are not necessarily Mingrui level intelligence, as long as they have a certain strength or influence, they can be called kings.

Each king had his own different ideas, which were closely related to their evolutionary experience. For example, the wither king Anling was created by humans themselves, and although they were originally hostile to humans, they began to have complex emotions towards humans as they evolved, so they were more gentle and preferred to negotiate with humans.

And the zombie king Skeletron and the like, belong to the kind that has wanted to kill people since he was a child, and has always been very hostile to humans.

There is also the ender king Tang Ming, as a neutral creature, he is neutral to the end, ignoring everything.

All of the above are relatively normal evolutionary conditions. It's obviously a special case like Saya, who is obviously a hostile creature, but can sit behind me and talk and laugh with me.

At this time, I suddenly remembered Han Fuyu's warning, turned my head sideways and asked Xiao Ye, "Do you know seven zombies that are close to the king level?" ”

"Uh-huh." Xiao Ye gently picked up Tai Er, who was lying quietly in her arms, adjusted her sitting posture and said, "They are Kui's right-hand men, who have been trained by humans to fight, and any one of them can beat you to the ground." ”

This...... I was speechless. Even if combat isn't my specialty, as a veteran player who has been playing MC for more than ten years, it's too embarrassing to be beaten up by a zombie, right?

Wait, something seems wrong.

I hurriedly turned back to her and asked, "Whose subordinates did you just say they were?" ”

Xiao Ye was so frightened by my sudden turn that she shrank back, blinked her eyes wide, and replied hesitantly, "Kui...... Kui, what's wrong? ”

I gasped as the salty wind from the sea poured down the bridge of my nose and into my head. Before leaving, Han Fuyu said to me, be careful of the seven zombies that are about to evolve into Mingrui, there is no doubt that she will warn me if she meets her.

But the two of us are in the four maps, the king of the four maps is Cleeway, and Kui and Cleeway are opponents, and Kui's henchmen should have followed Kui, but now they are mixed with Cleeway's people.

Then there are only a few possibilities: first, the seven zombies gave up and took refuge with Clevie; The second is that Clevey is not there, and the realm king of the four pictures is actually Kui; Three, the worst possibility - Cliffe and Kui have united.

"Stop!" I gave the order suddenly, causing the whole team to be confused and staring at me blankly.

The boats, which were moving at a rapid pace, came to a halt, and a dozen wooden oars struck the water counterclockwise, making a splash. I opened the message window and quickly edited the message and sent it to Dawn, trying to get him out of the game first and report my speculation to the deputy commander Jesse.

Unexpectedly, just halfway through the editing, the message window suddenly flashed, and an unfamiliar new message popped up in the corner:

"Task Force Four:

According to the front-line battle report sent by T20 in the C theater, the War Department believes that there are signs of cooperation within the artificial intelligence, please quickly complete the original task under the premise of ensuring safety after receiving this message, and go to the map hell # coordinates #, the specific matters will be notified separately.

Additional: If a high-level intelligent entity is found to exist at the mission location, it is allowed to try to contact it, and act cheaply according to the actual situation.

Above.

Four Picture Emergency Liaison: Steve

I let out a sigh of relief and waved my hand to close the message window, deleting the message I had just edited. It seems that the command layer does not need me to worry much about it at all, and someone has already considered this matter, and it is very serious, and even the emergency liaison has been sent.

"There's a new assignment coming down. We move on. "I picked up the oars and continued rowing.

The whole team moved forward again. As time passed, the night faded to reveal the whiteness of the fish belly in the east, and the sun foretold the next day through the brightening sky early before it rose.

The next day I was on the road all day, day and night. The path we traveled condensed into a thin red line on the map, and the end of the line became closer and closer to the light blue triangle.

On the morning of the third day, Dawn, who was at the head of the procession, first discovered the ruins hidden in the depths of the sea, and immediately stopped the ship to report to me.

"Boss, we're here!" Dawn pushed the oar a little above the water, turned around and shouted at me.

I immediately raised my hand to signal the whole team to stop the boat, and at the same time stood up and looked out under the water in front of me. The bottom of the sea was unfathomable, and I could only vaguely see the underwater ruins of the pyramid lying quietly like lions, and the sea crystal lantern corridor at the entrance was softly lit like water, with guardians wagging their tails in and out of it.

I looked closely, and saw that the water near the ruins was noticeably darker than the water elsewhere - there were guards hunting schools of squid in droves, causing the ink in the squid ink sacs to spew out, staining large swathes of water black.

These guardians do not act spontaneously at all, but rather kill in an organized and purposeful manner, with a much higher desire to attack than naturally generated guardians.

In addition to squid, clownfish, salmon and other fish were also poisoned, and a thick layer of fish carcasses floated on the surface of the sea, sparkling and shimmering in the sunlight.

Due to the distance, the plugin can't show how evolved the guardians are, so they have to get closer.

I immediately made arrangements to let Chen Xiaolin, Tan Xiaoyu and Xiaoye stay on the boat, and handed over the trident to them, so that they could defend themselves for a while, and secondly, considering that if I was cold below, the artifact would not be able to be picked up.

Then, I jumped into the water with the others and swam to the underwater ruins.

From the water, the underwater ruins are shrouded in layers of black ink, like a cursed altar of Atlantis, the death fog is filled, and even the sea crystal lamp is a bit like a ghost fire that guides people into hell, and if you get close to it, it will suck people's souls and spirits.

The hordes of guardians are only cast by shadows, comparable to the ghosts who harvest the undead. When they attacked, they flashed a flash of lasers, like lightning flashing through the night, and then exploded with an earth-shattering loud bang.

As we get closer, the underwater ruins gradually reveal their huge bodies, ancient and mysterious, and strange and infiltrating.

A purple health bar suddenly appeared above my horizon - "Ancient Guardian".

At the same time, a low roar came from inside the ruins. The entire seabed suddenly shook violently, and the undercurrent surged, and the bubbles were like columns.

"Who?" In just two words, the sound swept across the sea like thunder.

The shadow of an Ancient Guardian faded before my eyes, its large red vertical pupils motionless, staring at me indifferently through the water.
