Chapter 357: The Expanding Dragon's Lair
The Captain of the Reef Guard, Rocapel, swung his carapace-covered limbs and swam swiftly through the sea.
It's just that it's too hungry.
"I need to eat."
At this moment, he showed a fast swimming speed that did not suit his body, like a swift sea sweep, swimming in the sea and catching a fish.
With much faster speed and eating habits than before, Rocapel began to prey on sea creatures.
It's not just Rocapel, it's found that many "cursed" people are exhibiting similar conditions.
But it doesn't feel strange.
Because of the carapace, only a few parts of the sea people can see hunger and thinness, but the other sea people can clearly find signs of their bodies shriveled and hungry.
Fortunately......
Food in the sea, plenty of it.
Along the way, it ate everything it could eat.
Although it also encountered trouble competing for food with other Reef City Sea Folk on the way, it was able to eliminate these troubles by virtue of its status as the former guard captain of the Reef City Lord and its stronger strength.
With all kinds of food into his stomach, after a few days, at a speed visible to the naked eye, Rocapel was able to feel that his body was recovering rapidly.
Even, it already feels that it is about to molt again.
Molting, what a word, Rocapel hasn't been molting for ten years since he grew up to his current size.
Merely......
Rocapel dares to think and act, and such a character has provided great help to him throughout his life.
Come to Reef City, follow the sea elves who were not the city lords at the time, become the guardians of the sea elves city lords, then the chief guards, and finally ......
Nearly died at the orders of the city lord to "destroy the cursed".
But......
Rocapel knew that he had no regrets, and that he was not really "cursed".
I am awakened!
From the Totl tribe, belonging to the Lord of the Sea Shepherd, the blood of the Sea Shepherd who herds the sea for the Lord of the Deep Sea, and rules the sea!
I will go back, I will go back to Reef City, I will take revenge.
But not now.
As it moved all the way out of the offshore waters where Reef City belonged, and along the coastline, it appeared to be entering a dangerous sea.
Here, in the river valley harbor of the Dragon's Nest Country, the area where the dragon beasts with terrifying power roam is the sea area that belongs to the dragon monsters that have destroyed the mountains.
Rocapel paused, found a place, hid a little, and then, taking out the chart he was carrying from his carapace.
"Not much worse."
Stuffing back some of the secret records that had drifted out of the charts and that had been obtained over the years with the help of the reef city of Dulan, Rocapel took a closer look.
The trenches and hills and reefs on the charts can be confirmed, and although it is indeed close to the harbor of the mountains, it is still some distance.
This was originally supposed to be the residence of a group of border tribes.
Rocapel remembered that the frontier tribe was a school of fish lying in the ground.
They are relatively flat, and they hide on the seabed, where they lie close to the bottom of the ocean to ambush other small sea beasts or sea tribes that pass by.
Although they are also border people of the empire, even among the border people of the Sea Clan, their intelligence is relatively low, and they are even called "sea beasts" by many sea people living in Reef City.
But......
Mental retardation does not mean that there is no intelligence.
Because they have always been very difficult to deal with Reef City Dulan, at least, they can use them to prevent the danger from Reef City before they shed their shells and recover.
Rocapel took out the chart, compared it to it, and found the location of the bottom fish.
This used to be the site of another reef city, but when it was first built, it was
It was attacked by the reef city of Dolan and collapsed.
In the future, I may be able to ...... here
Rocapel immediately had a thought, and at a slightly faster speed, he approached the reef where the bottom fish was returned, but he quickly noticed something unusual.
The ruin-like reef is still there, but it's clearly much taller than you remember.
Moreover......
It can be seen that on those reefs, there are a lot of reef materials, which are obviously newly built.
Could it be that a group of inhabitants has changed, and it is inhabited by the border people of the reef bone tribe or the named sea tribe - the Sanghur tribe?
However, when he took a closer look, Rocapel couldn't help but be surprised.
Stacked on top of those reefs were the carapaces of various armored sea tribes.
Although Rocapel no longer thinks of himself as a Gujia clan, but gives the name of the Sea Tribe, the Totl Clan, this kind of scene is still extremely terrifying for it.
Immediately, eight flat feet and feet swayed like finned paddles, intending to move away immediately.
"Leave now!"
It's just that when Rocapel wanted to leave here, there were already ripples around him, in the water.
In the midst of the agitation of the water element, one by one, the huge bottom fish, with a somewhat different posture and impression, quickly surrounded Rocapel.
It has a nearly triangular head, sharp claws, a layer of crystal white scales, sharp teeth, and a long tail with strange webbed feet like claws at the end.
On its back, you can also see something like a dorsal fin.
It's not so much a bottom fish, but some kind of dragon monster that moves on land, and by the way, it sounds a bit like the dragon empire, like the terrifying dragon beasts in the mountains and harbors.
Also, the bottom fish is not that big.
In the reef city of Dulan, it can occasionally see dragons.
A sea dragon beast with dragon blood? Is it the offspring of that group of bottom fish?
Rocapel immediately gave up his intention to swim to the deep sea and rushed straight to the shore.
At this time, swimming in the direction of the deep sea, there is only a dead end, but to go ashore, Rocapel feels that he has more hope of escaping the encirclement.
Rocapel thinks that his strength is not weak, but now is really not the time to fight, and it is obviously not the time to fight with the group of border people who have been fighting all year round, let alone the Sea Clan dragon beasts.
However, as Rocapel swam ashore with his flattened limbs that could only be used as blades, shields, and fins, the drake, which was suspected to be the offspring of the bottom fish, followed suit, its long, powerful, slightly eerie webbed claws on its tail and swayed onto the icy sand ground as it set off the last few waves.
Moreover.......
At this time, Rocapel saw huge drakes roaming the shore......
It has crystal white scales, a cone-like head, and a huge dorsal fin......
Rocapel immediately remembered the name he learned when he traded with the mountains and seaports—
Spinosaurus
The other party did not directly kill Rocapel, but at this moment, it also understood.
Those dragon beasts that are suspected to be descendants of the bottom fish have become a subsidiary of the Dragon Nest Country.
Dragon's Nest Country, is it planning to expand?
At this time, Rocapel, who could only choose to surrender, couldn't help but hope that the other party would not kill him in his heart when he was desperate.
And, I don't know why......
Rocapel had a strange fear of the giant spiny dragons......
It bowed to the spiny dragons, and it was a matter of course.
This idea made Rocapel suspicious, and he couldn't help but think of one thing......
The "curse" of the harbor......
In an instant, Rocapel had a frightened thought.
Could it be ......
