Chapter 565: [564] The Altar of Corpse Squid

Soon.

The sea breeze gradually changed.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

At first, it was just the normal sound of the wind.

Cheng Han whispered, "They're here!"

Shuilianhua realized and immediately asked, "Elder, are you referring to the Ghost Wind?"

Cheng Han nodded lightly.

After a while.

"Woo! Woo!"

The sound of the wind turned into a piercing scream.

It wasn't just ringing in their ears.

It went straight to the depths of their souls.

As a powerful Xuan Master, Lan Jiayao also felt a hint of unease and softly said, "This sound doesn't seem right."

Shuilianhua took the opportunity to show off her superiority by saying, "Lan Xuan Master, the Ghost Wind can oppress the soul, which is why you feel this way."

Lan Jiayao frowned and began to inquire, "Why is that?"

Shuilianhua hesitated for a moment and was caught off guard.

She only knew the result, but not the reason behind it.

Cheng Han smiled slightly and interjected at the right time, "The birth of the Ghost Wind utilizes the negative power within the soul. It slowly erodes the soul."

He only mentioned it briefly without going into too much detail.

Lan Jiayao pondered.

Shuilianhua habitually exclaimed, "Ah!" and echoed, "Elder is right, that's how it is!"

Cheng Han's gaze subtly shifted towards a halo floating beside them.

In the center of the image.

A scene from the deep sea was displayed.

It was a pile of huge bones.

The diameter of this thing exceeded one kilometer, composed of countless sea monster carcasses, silently floating in the vast sea.

The most astonishing thing was that giant squid tentacles covered the surface of the bone pile, appearing both real and illusory.

There were over a thousand tentacles, each wriggling incessantly.

Such a scene was both terrifying and disgusting to look at.

Cheng Han sighed silently.

According to the deduction of the All-Knowing Eye, this bone pile was actually the result of the Baiyou Clan's massacre of various sea clans.

This thing had a rather sinister name - the Altar of Corpse Squid.

In the waters surrounding the Dongli War Zone alone, the reconnaissance teams sent by the Huayun Mica Clan had discovered no less than a hundred Altars of Corpse Squid.

And according to the deduction, the actual number was at least ten times more.

The specific cause of the Ghost Wind was closely related to these eerie things.

On the other hand.

This also illustrated how terrible the Baiyou Clan's sins were.

Of course.

From the perspective of the Wanhao Clan.

Cheng Han was delighted to hear this and had no trace of pity in his heart.

No matter how many sea creatures died, what did it have to do with him?

After another ten seconds.

"Hiss! Hiss!"

The wind began to mix with eerie hissing sounds.

As if countless ferocious monsters were lurking within, watching and grinding their teeth, ready to tear people into pieces.

Lan Jiayao became increasingly uneasy.

She was about to ask something, but Cheng Han preempted her, "Before the battle officially begins, the Ghost Wind will blow for a while longer."

Shuilianhua blinked her beautiful eyes and curiously asked, "Elder, how much longer do we have to wait?"

Cheng Han didn't answer the question and instructed, "It's boring to wait like this. Go and have someone prepare some 'lobsters' for breakfast!"

The so-called "lobsters" were not seafood from another dimension, but a seafood product that the Huayun Mica Clan was cultivating.

It just happened to resemble lobsters in appearance, so he forcibly renamed it "lobsters."

Shuilianhua didn't dare to ask further and obediently responded, "Ah!"

Lan Jiayao could only suppress her doubts and quietly wait.

Cheng Han glanced at the halo again.

In the image.

There were more than ten dark red patches in the deep sea area.

In Shuilianhua's eyes.

The Elder usually spent his time in the Will Supervising Palace, eating, drinking, and having fun. Occasionally, he would do something to her, and only occasionally would he pay attention to the situation in each war zone.

But that wasn't the case in reality.

Cheng Han was actually very busy.

Using the divine technique of the All-Knowing Eye, he quietly conducted multiple deductions based on the massive amount of clues he had collected.

The dark red patches on the halo were the results of his deductions.

Each patch represented a small area in the deep sea, where there was likely a key connection to the Ghost Wind.

However, due to the concealment of the Sea God's divine power, the All-Knowing Eye couldn't trace the specific situation and could only provide a rough estimated location.

Next.

The longer the Ghost Wind blew.

The more connections they would obtain.

Only then could the All-Knowing Eye lock onto the exact location.

In any case.

Waiting was a meaningful thing.

Although others might not understand.

But that didn't matter.

In each war fortress.

"Woo! Woo!"

"Hiss! Hiss!"

As the ghost wind gradually picked up.

All sorts of strange things also appeared.

Inside a residential house.

The six members of this family were strictly following the martial law order issued by the war zone, staying at home obediently.

Of course.

The fighting outside was so intense.

The sound of Xuanbing's explosions and the whistling of war hawks kept coming, even if civilians were allowed to go out, not many people had the courage to do so.

Just at this moment.

"Ah~"

A teenager suddenly screamed in pain.

He held his head with both hands, a hint of blood appeared strangely in his eyes, his breathing became rapid, and his expression became somewhat manic.

The mother immediately noticed that something was wrong and reached out to pat the teenager's shoulder, asking with concern, "Shilun, what's wrong with you..."

Before she could finish her sentence.

It was interrupted.

A flash of fierceness flashed in the teenager's eyes, and he suddenly bit down on his mother's arm, biting very hard.

Bright red blood immediately flowed down from her arm.

The room immediately descended into chaos.

Shouts of alarm and cries of pain filled the air.

Three minutes later.

Several patrol officers rushed into the house like wolves, swiftly knocked out the teenager, and took him away, tied up.

The above incident.

Was happening everywhere in the fortress.

As time went on, more and more incidents occurred.

There is no doubt.

This is the influence brought by the ghost wind.

*

In the Hall of Supervision.

In a colorful garden.

The changes in each fortress quickly spread.

Cheng Han shook his head gently and sighed.

To achieve victory, the war zone must endure for a while.

Cheng Han's attention then turned to several lobsters over a meter long.

He glanced at them and muttered to himself, "I didn't expect to come to another world to realize the freedom of lobsters."

Strictly speaking.

These lobsters are just "unfinished products" that have not been fully cultivated.

In biological terms, they have unstable genetic characteristics.

Simply put, the offspring of lobsters have some toxicity, while others do not, so they cannot be sold on the market.

Compared to lobsters from another timeline.

The lobsters in this other world are fatter, with the tail accounting for more than sixty percent of their body, and the meat is more tender.

A chef at the level of a warrior demonstrated his cooking skills on the spot.

He tapped the lobster shell, which was covered in patterns, with a few fingers.

"Crack! Crack!"

The hard shell of the lobster cracked into pieces, revealing the white and crystal-clear flesh.

"Swish! Swish!"

The chef swiftly sliced the large pieces of lobster meat into thin slices, dipped them in a little oil, and threw them into the hot frying pan.

"Sizzle! Sizzle!"

The aroma of the oil instantly rose, frying for a dozen seconds, and finally sprinkled with a little seasoning, a delicious meal was ready.

Cheng Han took a bite and nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad!"

Compared to the various delicacies he enjoyed daily, although it was not outstanding, the taste was much better than the lobsters in his previous life.

Lan Jiayao watched this scene, her pretty face showing an extremely subtle expression.

The war was raging, even the four divine generals personally took action, and here you are, enjoying a lobster feast in peace.

Is this... not quite appropriate?

Cheng Han didn't think there was anything wrong.

He swallowed the delicious lobster meat and casually gave an order, "After the successful cultivation of lobsters, we can expand the breeding scale appropriately."

Lobsters were the seafood he ordered to be cultivated, and he naturally had the obligation to taste them himself. This was also to improve the lives of the common people and fully develop the resources of this world.

The life of the Hall of Supervision was sometimes so boring.

Shuilianhua quickly responded, "Yes!"

Cheng Han glanced at the halo and his mouth slightly curved upwards.

He saw that the red area had clearly shrunk a lot.

Each red spot used to encompass an area of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, but now it was less than two hundred thousand square kilometers.

This meant that the positioning was more accurate.

When the Sea Overlord Legion launched a surprise attack, it would be easier to succeed.

After a while.

The halo changed again.

Cheng Han looked up at the sky and ordered, "General Lan, inform the East Wind Legion of Sima Nanshan that they can carry out a probing attack."

Lan Jiayao was a little surprised.

Where should they attack?

She immediately knew the answer.

Cheng Han raised his hand and lightly tapped.

A refreshing light spot flashed from his fingertip and instantly hit the forehead of the female Xuan Master.

Lan Jiayao immediately widened her beautiful eyes.

Because the light spot contained a coordinate information.

Cheng Han smiled and explained, "I have been observing here for a while, and this sea area is most likely problematic. Let the East Wind Legion bomb it heavily."

Lan Jiayao found it hard to believe.

Is it true?

You are enjoying a seafood feast here and you can detect a problem in a certain sea area?
