From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star

Discovering that Onatu was lying, High Priest Sona raised her hand and released a stream of water, which sealed him up and trapped him in mid-air.

Onatu endured the restraint of the water flow and uttered a dull hum in pain.

"Tell me, have you ever come into contact with the source of abyss pollution?" High Priest Sona showed a stern expression, and the pressure from the strongest tide-calling priest of the Siren tribe was released, causing the Siren warriors outside the residence to bow down and salute.

Onatu endured the confinement of the water flow and answered with difficulty: "Do I have the breath of abyss pollution on me? Can't the High Priest see it?"

Sona did check and did not find the breath of abyss pollution on him.

However, she was not sure whether Onatu had come into contact with the source of abyss pollution in other ways, so she chose to release the pressure to force the question.

After asking, she waved to untie him and put him back on the ground: "You are the one I trust most in my tribe, you should not lie to me!"

Onatu bowed and saluted: "Onatu is absolutely loyal to the high priest, and everything he does is for the future of the tribe."

Sona pondered for a moment, waved her hand and said: "I am willing to believe you, but from now on, no one is allowed to disobey my orders. The Sirens and the Dark Iron Dwarves must reconcile and establish a covenant to fight against the abyss together. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand." Onatu bowed his head and agreed. Although he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he was indeed considering the future of the tribe, but the concept was different.

Sona swung her tail and walked out, and gave an order to the Sirens guards outside the door: "Elder Onatu's injury needs to be recuperated in his residence. Don't disturb him unless necessary."

"Yes." The Sirens guards respectfully accepted the order.

This order is equivalent to house arrest, but it is not very mandatory.

If Onatu wants to go out, the guards at the door can't stop him.

Sona didn't think the guards could stop Onatu. This order was actually for Onatu. Once he disobeyed the order, it meant that the remaining trust would continue to decline.

This was a test, a test of Onatu's loyalty.

...

The negotiations with the Dark Iron Dwarves were disrupted, and it was the elders of the Siren Clan who disrupted the negotiations.

Sona was helpless. What was originally a simple matter would cause many problems after this setback.

She returned to the Temple of Vashj and took out the Echo Conch, hoping to communicate with Lu Heng again.

After she injected magical energy into the Echo Conch, she waited for a moment, and Lu Heng's voice came out of the conch.

"Did the high priest find the answer?"

Although she didn't want to admit it, it was the fact.

She could only admit: "There was a problem on my side."

She didn't mention Onatu's name because she still wanted to protect this right-hand man.

Normally, when two races are negotiating, one of them disrupts the peace talks and attacks the other's envoy, someone needs to come out to bear the responsibility.

If she still wants to reconcile with the Dark Iron Dwarves, she needs to push Onatu out, but she still wants to protect Onatu, so she didn't make the inside story clear.

Lu Heng: "So what does the high priest plan to do now?"

Sona: "I hope to have another negotiation to resolve the hostility between the two tribes."

Lu Heng: "No explanation was given in the previous negotiation. It's not easy to talk again, right?"

Sona: "I understand. I am willing to make concessions on the terms of reconciliation and let this matter go."

Lu Heng heard her words and guessed what she meant: "It seems that the high priest wants to protect his elders."

Sona did not deny it and reiterated: "I have made concessions."

Lu Heng: "You have to understand that even if I don't pursue it, you think the Dark Iron Dwarves are still very happy. Can the dwarves swallow this breath? "

Sona: "So I hope you can help me with this."

Lu Heng pondered for a moment and replied: "I may really be able to do it, but you should know that other recruiters will never be able to convince the Dwarf King."

Sona: "Of course, in return, I will agree to one of your requests. Whether you want treasures or need the Sirens to do something, as long as it does not harm the interests of the Sirens, I can agree to it. "

Lu Heng was silent for a long time before he agreed: "I'll try it."

If this matter can be facilitated, and the high priest of the Sirens can owe a favor, it is indeed worth it.

...

After Lu Heng talked with the high priest of the Sirens, he returned to the Lava Crown and negotiated with the Dwarf King Soreville Copper Furnace.

At the beginning, Soreville Copper Furnace was very indignant and refused to continue the peace talks.

Lu Heng promised him that he would find a way to return the Quenching Castle to the Black Iron Dwarf Kingdom in the future, which convinced the Dwarf King to put aside his previous prejudices and continue to negotiate with the Sirens.

After persuading Sorewell Copper Furnace, Lu Heng passed the message to Sona, the High Priest of the Siren Tribe.

The two sides agreed on a time to negotiate again.

This time, Lu Heng personally served as the envoy of the Dark Iron Dwarfs.

Of course, the elders of the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom were the ones who were really responsible for the negotiations.

...

On the other side.

After Sona, the High Priest of the Siren Tribe, received the reply, she summoned another Siren Tribe elder under her command, Tidecaller Celian.

After a brief discussion, Tidecaller Celian was arranged to be in charge of this negotiation.

The next day, it was the agreed time.

The two teams met at Yuezhu Beach for peace talks.

In order to prevent accidents from happening again, this time Lu Heng brought a team of thirteen people and personally guarded the peace envoy.

Just as the two sides were negotiating.

Su Muyu walked to Lu Heng's ear and reminded him: "There is something in the sea."

Lu Heng looked at the sea and indeed found that the waves were a little strange, but he couldn't see the situation under the sea.

"Can you see the situation in the sea clearly?" Lu Heng asked.

Su Muyu shook her head: "Seawater as a medium has a strong effect of isolating reconnaissance. Unless you let the Chongming bird dive into the water and observe closely, you can't see the situation below ten meters."

Lu Heng turned his head to look at Jiang Shaoran behind him and reminded him: "There is something in the sea, go and see the situation."

Jiang Shaoran's third-level source essence is [Tide Summoner]. In the sea, she can take on part of the work of the perceiver.

The effects of many perception skills of the perceivers on land will be greatly reduced when they are put into water.

Therefore, land perceivers and ocean perceivers are not compatible most of the time.

Jiang Shaoran nodded in agreement, then walked towards the sea, stood in the sea, and rolled up a wave to push into the sea.

After a moment, she turned around and replied, "There are indeed things in the sea. There is a kind of black creature with scales. There are many of them. They have limbs and tails. I have never seen them before."

When Lu Heng heard this description, an image of an abyss race emerged in his mind.

"It should be a black scale demon, an abyss race, and it is very likely to be an abyss summoner. Everyone should be prepared for battle, and try to fight on the shore. No deep pursuit without orders."

Liu Haiyang and others immediately dispersed and set up a battle formation.

In fact, for them, the combat power in the water is stronger than on the shore.

However, they resolutely obeyed Lu Heng's orders and did not go into the sea.

Because the black scale demon is an ocean-based abyss monster.

No matter how strong Liu Haiyang and others are in the sea, the combat power of the black scale demon in the water will only be stronger.

Even if human psychics have ocean-based enhancement skills, they are not naturally aquatic creatures. No matter how much they are enhanced, they can never be stronger than marine creatures of the same level.

Therefore, it is the right choice to fight on the shore.

At least the four members of Lu Heng's team were guaranteed to have a fighting force on the shore, but they could not exert their strength in the water.

Not only did Lu Heng's team discover the black-scaled demon in the sea, but the Sirens' natural strong perception of water also made them discover the existence of the black-scaled demon.

So, when Lu Heng walked over to remind them, the Sirens' tide-calling elder Celian spoke first: "We found the demon in the sea, and it should be coming for us."

Lu Heng nodded and said, "Do you want to join forces?"

Celian nodded and replied: "Although the negotiations have not ended, the high priest of our tribe is very much looking forward to reaching a reconciliation. So we are willing to fight the demon together, but it is estimated that we can only fight on our own."

After all, the Dark Iron Dwarves and the Sirens used to be enemies. It is unlikely that they would fight side by side before a complete reconciliation was reached.

Even if Lu Heng wanted to arrange it this way, he was worried that they would clash during the battle.

Therefore, Lu Heng asked the Dark Iron Dwarves to defend the left coast, while the Sirens defended the right coast, and the team he led defended the middle to separate the two tribes.

After the formation was arranged, hundreds of water currents rushed out of the sea, and hundreds of black-scaled demons shot out from the sea, rushing towards the sea monsters and the dark iron dwarves.

The battle was about to start.

Lu Heng's team and the dark iron dwarves followed the strategy of fighting only on the shore and not easily chasing into the sea.

The black-scaled demons are aquatic demons, and their combat power on the shore is not as strong as in the water.

Therefore, this battle was not too stressful.

Lu Heng swung his sword on the beach, and every time he swung his sword, he could take the life of a black-scaled demon.

[Kill the black-scaled demon and absorb 800 energy points. ]

The battle was fought thoroughly, and Lu Heng absorbed a lot of energy.

Originally, the source energy strength was not far from breaking through the level limit. After killing thirty black-scaled demons, an energy tide rolled up in his body.

[Source energy level increased to level 42, all attributes +5, agility attribute additional +1.5]

The black-scaled demon launched a surprise attack, found that the battle situation was not right, left behind seventy or eighty corpses, and turned to flee into the sea.

The Sirens immediately launched a pursuit.

After getting Lu Heng's permission, Liu Haiyang and six others also chased into the sea and continued to hunt the Black Scale Demon.

Lu Heng rushed to the sea, ran on the sea, reached out and grabbed a Black Scale Demon from the sea, and pierced its abdomen with a sword.

Through the Level 3 [Soul Slashing] special effect of the Aurora Blade, it reduced its spiritual attribute by 16 points, and then activated [Spiritual Control] for interrogation.

After interrogation, the purpose of this Black Scale Demon team was determined.

This Black Scale Demon is a group of Black Scale Demons lurking in the Tidal Sea.

Because the Tidal Sea is relatively large, the Black Scale Demons usually do not go ashore, and they will not encounter land races such as the Dark Iron Dwarves.

Occasionally, the Black Scale Demons encounter the Sirens, and after a conflict, they will leave separately, and rarely fight to the death.

This time, the Black Scale Demons went ashore to launch a surprise attack, which was ordered by the Abyss Summoner to disrupt the peace talks between the Dark Iron Dwarves and the Sirens.

After asking about the purpose, Lu Heng roughly guessed the goal of the Abyss Summoner.

According to what he knew in his previous life, the nature of the Abyss Summoner and the ordinary Summoner is similar.

Summoners can receive tasks, and Abyss Summoners can also receive tasks.

Moreover, the rewards for the tasks of the Abyss Summoner are often very generous.

Some psychics even believe that the "traitor" task received by the human recruiter is a type of Abyss Summoning task after analysis.

That is to say, the Abyss Summoner also has main quests, and may even have challenge quests, but the form is not exactly the same as that of the human Summoner.

No matter what the form is, one thing will not change.

The human Summoning quest has a clear goal, so the Abyss Summoner's quest must also have a goal.

The purpose of this Summoning quest is to promote the reconciliation between the Dark Iron Dwarves and the Sirens.

Then the mission goal of the Abyss Summoner should be to destroy the reconciliation between the Dark Iron Dwarves and the Sirens.

For the Abyss Demon, if the intelligent races of the target world unite to fight against the Abyss, it will definitely slow down the speed at which the Abyss devours this world.

If there is an internal fight between the intelligent races in the target world, there will be no experience in resisting the invasion of the Abyss.

…

After the battle, Lu Heng returned to the shore and recalled all the members of the Ocean Team.

Liu Haiyang brought all six members of the team back, and after calling the roll to confirm that there were no missing people, he reported to Lu Heng.

Lu Heng asked them to clean up the battlefield, and then walked towards the Sirens to remind them to recall the Sirens warriors.

The Sirens are stronger in the water, so for them, the battle on the shore is not satisfying, but the battle in the sea is more enjoyable.

After Lu Heng reminded, the Tidecaller Celian took out a horn and blew it to recall all the Sirens warriors.

After the Sirens returned, Lu Heng formally communicated with Celian: "I just interrogated a black-scaled demon and confirmed that the purpose of the black-scaled demon's raid was to disrupt the peace talks.

"In fact, at this point, many key points are clear. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the mission goal of the Abyss Summoner is to disrupt the reconciliation between the Dark Iron Dwarves and the Sirens.

"As long as the hostility between your two tribes continues to deteriorate, you will not have the energy to find the source of the abyss pollution."

Celian nodded and responded: "Yes, I have discussed this matter with the high priest. I agree that the two tribes should reconcile and jointly find a way to fight the abyss."

Lu Heng is very confident that the current Siren Tribe High Priest can see the situation clearly. If the Siren Tribe is ruled by a Siren with an extreme personality like Onatu, it is estimated that this peace talk will be difficult to succeed.

"The Black Scale Demon has been repelled, and the peace talks can continue." Lu Heng waved and called the elder in charge of the negotiations of the Dark Iron Dwarf.

The two sides sat down again to continue the negotiations.

Without the harassment of the Black Scale Demon, the negotiation process went smoothly.

After all, the two tribes did not have a conflict in living space, but only because of the dumping of Gross embers.

So the demands of both parties are very simple, and the Siren Tribe gave in a lot during the negotiations because of Onatu.

The two sides negotiated until the evening, all demands were recognized, and finally signed a reconciliation agreement between the two tribes, and verbally agreed to find a way to fight the abyss together.

The two tribes had just reconciled and it was impossible for them to form an alliance immediately, so the matter of jointly fighting against the abyss could only be a verbal agreement for the time being.
