Chapter 337: [336] The Underwater Kingdom

"Boom! Boom!"

A loud thunderous sound, accompanied by the sea breeze, came from afar.

This was the sound of huge waves from the open sea.

Each wave reached a terrifying height of over sixty meters, like a tsunami, only producing such a loud noise when the waves collided with each other.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

This was the sound of heavy rain coming from outside the fortress.

Since the previous night, the night when the Warhawk Legion annihilated hundreds of thousands of Swordfish Sharks, a super typhoon had been raging within a radius of thousands of miles.

How heavy was the rain?

Just leave a basin outside, and it would be filled to the brim in no more than ten minutes.

This was a genuine torrential rain.

It is worth noting that the rainwater cannot be consumed.

Because it contains a toxin, drinking a cup of it would require immediate medical attention, and drinking two cups would mean a trip to the underworld.

According to the calculations of the All-Knowing Eye, this torrential rain would last for half a month before gradually subsiding, and then continue for another month.

"Boom!"

A particularly loud roar of a giant wave penetrated through the huge glass and entered the palace.

Cheng Han turned his head and looked at the thick curtain of rain outside the window, unable to help but sigh, "The situation of the vanguard team in this world is indeed very difficult."

Deputy Commander Lan Jiayao sat at a wooden table, facing a stack of thick documents, and responded, "This heavy rain is most likely caused by the enemy's Divine Grade powerhouse."

"More than 1,300 battle zones, and over 90% of them happen to be within the range of the torrential rain. Isn't that too coincidental?"

Now, the role played by the Female Profound Masters was very similar to Cheng Han's female secretary, mainly responsible for various miscellaneous tasks that the latter didn't want to deal with.

But she had no objections to this at all.

After all, as long as she followed closely behind Commander Cheng, she would definitely not lack credit, easily "sponging" off several hundred pieces of Source Profound Crystals as a reward.

Even if there were two or three times more miscellaneous tasks, Lan Jiayao would still be very willing.

While dealing with the documents, Lan Jiayao chattered on, "The heavy rain has seriously affected the performance of the Warhawk Engine, reducing its maximum flying speed by about thirty percent."

"In the past two days, the Warhawk Legion has carried out twenty-six attack missions, but due to the heavy rain, eight of them missed their targets..."

The nagging manner of the Female Profound Master was far from the cold and aloof demeanor of the past.

If the group of Profound Masters from the Qinghan Profound Palace who knew her saw her current appearance, they would definitely not believe their eyes.

Cheng Han casually replied, "I already have a detailed design plan to deal with the heavy rain. It's just that the craftsmen and the Spirit Oak Demons need time to adjust."

The battle zones have more Spirit Oak Demons than the Qinghan Profound Palace, and there are also many craftsmen brought in from the Virtual Wind Realm, so the human (tree) resources are quite abundant.

After thinking for a moment, Cheng Han gave a time frame, "It will take at least another half a month to manufacture a prototype."

Only with the existence of extraordinary means in this world can the speed be so fast.

In another time and space, it would be a fantasy to go from a blueprint to a prototype in half a month.

As he spoke.

Cheng Han stared at the halo in front of him, his mind filled with various thoughts.

"Based on the information deduced, it seems that the Flower Mica Clan generally has a preference for appearance and is quite disgusted with sea monsters with negative beauty values."

"When each Flower Mica reaches a certain age, they can spontaneously comprehend the characteristics of water-based Profound Arts. They are like a collective cheat code for the oceanic race."

"If we can win over the Flower Mica Clan, we will have an additional indigenous race familiar with the marine environment, which would be an absolute advantage in this war."

Cheng Han immediately made up his mind in his heart, "Let's try to make contact with the Flower Mica Clan!"

Just at this moment.

In the center of the halo.

The Flower Mica seemed to have noticed the Shadow Spider, and the terrifying and hideous appearance of the giant spider instantly made her show a look of disgust.

Being particular about appearances, that's how clear-cut it is.

Her eyes widened, showing a gnashing expression, and her tender hands waved continuously.

"Yi ah~ Ya ya~"

She also made soft and cute baby-like sounds.

With such an image, it had a kind of "both fierce and cute" meaning.

Of course.

The completely naked body of the Flower Mica was also something that people couldn't directly look at.

In the next moment.

A vortex-like water flow suddenly emerged from beneath the Shadow Spider.

Mixed within were powerful and high-speed currents that cut through the water, creating a muffled sound of "huhu".

This is the Water Blade!

Although the strength of this Flower Mica has not reached the level of a Profound Scholar, the power of this attack is not much weaker than that of a beginner-level Profound Scholar using water-based Profound Arts.

If it were an ordinary Sea Spider facing the numerous Water Blades, it would likely be dismembered into dozens of pieces in an instant.

But this did not pose a challenge for the Shadow Spider.

In the instant the vortex appeared, the Shadow Spider suddenly extended its two long legs and swung them forcefully downwards, stirring up layers of dark currents.

The vortex disappeared in an instant.

The Shadow Spider gracefully turned around and spewed out a stream of water.

"Gudong~"

Bubbles emerged in large quantities.

The Shadow Spider quickly left at a high speed.

The Flower Mica in the distance widened her eyes even more.

She clearly sensed that the Shadow Spider had created over a hundred dark currents, perfectly hitting the key points of the vortex, instantly dissipating it.

What's more important is that the power the Shadow Spider mobilized was not even half of the vortex's potential.

In other words, this is a highly skilled technique of "using four ounces to move a thousand pounds", a method that the Flower Mica cannot even come close to.

So she just floated in place without moving, quietly watching the Shadow Spider leave, without the courage to chase after it.

After a while, the halo dissipated.

The corners of Cheng Han's mouth slightly curled up. "Not bad! This 'Underwater Kingdom' is a rational and cautious race. We can try to make contact with them."

But before that, he must give the Shadow Spider a thorough "makeover". Otherwise, if they were to meet, they would immediately start fighting. How could they communicate?

Another thought popped into Cheng Han's mind. "I also need to find a way to teach the concept of 'clothing' to the Flower Mica tribe... Well, at least they should wear underwear."

Next to him, Lan Jiayao muttered about another matter. "By the way, Deputy General Xu Peng said that there might be a mole in the Central Court. That's why the Warhawk Legion was attacked by the Flying Sword Sharks as soon as they arrived."

"But they have been investigating the Central Court for several days, isolating over a hundred people, and still haven't found any useful clues."

The female Profound Scholar signed a document and sighed. "If this matter isn't resolved, the Warhawk Legion might be severely undermined in the future."

Cheng Han responded, "That makes sense."

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "I'm just a low-level Profound Scholar, why do I have so many things to worry about?"

He gazed at the pouring rain, sometimes thinking about how to approach the Flower Mica, and other times calculating how to expose the mole and eliminate the hidden danger.

Both of these tasks were not small achievements. The initial stages could be handled by the Shadow Spider, but the final "closing of the net" had to be done by himself.

After all, the sparkling Source Profound Crystal couldn't be wasted like this.

After a while, "Buzz~"

The sound of the Warhawk engine faintly came through the rain curtain.

Cheng Han was taken aback and asked with a puzzled expression, "It's raining so heavily, does the Warhawk Legion still have missions to carry out?"

Two days ago, the magnificent and superlative victory had scared away all the sea monsters within a radius of five hundred kilometers, bringing a rare calm to the war zone.

In this situation, he couldn't think of any missions that needed to be carried out.

Lan Jiayao had a posture of answering any questions. "This is the training of the 'Cloud Eagle Legion'!"

The so-called "Cloud Eagle Legion" was a legion that Cheng Han had formed to fulfill his promise to General Jian Wanli and train the Eastern Li War Zone.

Originally, General Jian Wanli hoped that both sides would be treated equally and become as close as family.

But Cheng Han had different ideas.

Out of consideration for internal competition, he specifically ordered the transfer of a portion of the Warhawk Legion, along with tens of thousands of soldiers from the war zone, to form the Cloud Eagle Legion.

He only set the general direction, while the specific execution, such as personnel deployment and training arrangements, were all handled by the female Profound Scholar.

Lan Jiayao was busy because of this.

This rare phenomenon of "a Profound Scholar commanding other Profound Scholars to work" naturally caused a stir among the people in the Central Court of the war zone.
