Chapter 678 Sacrifice
Li Qian asked Lingguang Cat to dive into the seabed to investigate the situation.

The first stop is naturally the seabed rocks right below.

At this moment, in the eyes of the spiritual cat, the array pattern flickered, but it was no different from before.

The clever cat did not stay here for long. After observing for a while and finding no more clues, it left and swam to another place.

What it didn't know was that not long after it left, the already flickering array patterns on the rocks on the seabed directly below it suddenly became even more intense.

Meanwhile, on the sea level, fierce fighting continued.

Li Qian received the message conveyed by Lingguang Cat through the soul contract.

Li Qian was not surprised at all that it had not found anything suspicious during its search under the sea.

Judging from the situation at the scene, the Cangming Sect must have made thorough preparations when planning this attack.

Even if there are some means hidden nearby, it will definitely not be easy to find.

After thinking about it, he did not act recklessly and shared what the spirit cat saw with Wu Hongxia and Jiang Hao. "Dean Wu, Senior Jiang, I have sent out my pets to search the seabed. So far, I have not found anything suspicious."

"The enemy is hiding in the vast seabed, and we don't know where they are. It will be very difficult to find them." Wu Hongxia said in a deep voice: "Well, I have a few mechanical octopuses in my hand. Let's release them together to assist in the search."

"I also have a few water-attributed pets without contracts that can be sent out to investigate the situation." Jiang Hao echoed.

After saying that, they did not hesitate and released all the pets suitable for reconnaissance.

They were not in a hurry.

Although the battle on the scene was extremely brutal, even if two of these mad pets had reached the Holy Spirit level, they would still be able to be dealt with if they really needed to.

The Wing Clan woman Wu You's Taiwu and Li Qian's Qizi, when they joined forces, were more than capable of handling a Holy Spirit-level pet beast, and could at least bring the two to a standstill.

The remaining one naturally belongs to Wu Hongxia's dragon-horned star shark.

When his dragon-horned star shark faced a hostile pet of the Holy Spirit level, it had no disadvantage in terms of strength level.

With better training and the bonus of beast taming talent, defeating the opponent is only a matter of time.

The situation at the scene was just as they had imagined.

After the battle lasted for about half an hour, a clear trend emerged.

Wu Hongxia's dragon-horned star shark was already suppressing the mad Azure Spring Whale.

There were at least a dozen scars of various kinds on the body of the Blue Spring Whale, and it looked quite miserable.

On the other side, Taiwu and Qizi dealt with the remaining three-headed dragon with ease.

Although he was injured, the injury was not serious.

Finally, it was Xiaoliu and the other people's pets that were fighting against a vast number of emperor-level and overlord-level pets.

As for the few commander-level crazy pets, most of them had already perished in the aftermath of the battle.

The battle here was quite chaotic due to the large number of pets. Although the pets of Li Qian and his five companions had an advantage in quality, they were far behind in quantity. The current situation was still unclear.

"Li Qian, look, the sea water!" After fighting for about another hour, Jiang Hao, who was quite experienced in adventure, finally discovered that something was wrong. He immediately communicated with Li Qian and Wu Hongxia.

Wu Hongxia has lived in a seaport city for many years, and fighting in the sea is commonplace. Soon, he also found something wrong, "What's going on?"

"There's something wrong with this sea water!"

Li Qian looked at the sea water which had become turbid due to the battle, but did not see anything unusual.

Upon seeing this, Wu Hongxia explained to him while fighting, "After such a long battle, countless crazy pets have died. But the sea water here, although turbid, does not have much bloody smell." After Wu Hongxia's reminder, Li Qian reacted immediately.

No matter whether the sea water will be dyed red, after all, the blood of many pets is not red, but the smell of blood is impossible to completely avoid after so many crazy pets have died.

There is only one explanation, that is, the blood did not spill out.

"Retreat quickly!" Just when everyone realized that something was wrong, Wu Hongxia and Jiang Hao shouted almost at the same time.

Wu Hongxia added an explanation, "Several of the mechanical octopuses I sent out to investigate disappeared at almost the same time."

After realizing something was wrong, the few of them gave up the fight and several main pets immediately gathered together and violently blasted open a path.

Following the blasted path, Li Qian and his companions began to evacuate, with the Dragon Horned Star Shark, Taiwu, Water Elf and other pets covering their retreat.

Just after they retreated to a certain distance, something strange happened.

The bunch of crazy pets that had looked like they were determined to fight to the death now stopped chasing them.

Just as they were puzzled, a huge whirlpool suddenly collapsed on the sea level.

This vortex appeared without any warning, as if it appeared out of thin air.

"What's going on?" Mo Ziyu asked, standing next to Li Qian.

Li Qian shook his head. He himself was completely confused about the situation.

He looked at Wu Hongxia and Jiang Hao, both of whom had frowned and remained silent.

I guess he didn't see any clues.

"Hahaha... a bunch of self-righteous idiots!" Just when everyone was puzzled, a figure suddenly appeared right above the whirlpool.

This time, Li Qian and the other four saw it clearly.

This figure wrapped in a blue robe that suddenly appeared did not actually appear out of thin air.

Behind him, there is a miniature dimensional crack that can accommodate one person in and out.

The blue-robed cultists emerged from this micro-dimensional crack.

Yes, at this moment, whether it was Li Qian, Wu Hongxia or Jiang Hao, they were all 100% sure... that the person who suddenly appeared right above the vortex was definitely a cultist.

And it is most likely the culprit behind the Hurricane Karina disaster.

After a wanton mockery, the cultist of Cangming Sect who suddenly appeared dived into the huge whirlpool without hesitation.

"Oh no, he wants to sacrifice himself!" Wu Hongxia seemed to have suddenly remembered something and spoke out suddenly. It could be heard that there was a bit of fear and horror in his voice.

The blue-robed cultists were moving extremely fast, and Li Qian and his companions wanted to stop them, but it was too late.

Just as Li Qian was thinking about what to do next, a bunch of approaching red dots suddenly appeared on the smart bracelet.

"Damn it, the Beast Tamer from the Thousand Islands Federation didn't come earlier or later, but came at this time!" Looking at the red dot displayed on the smart bracelet, Wu Hongxia's tone was a little complicated.

Yes, judging from the array and formation of the red dots, the people coming this time are most likely the beastmasters of the Thousand Islands Federation.

Before the advent of the Beast Taming Civilization, the relationship between Dongxia and Qiandao was not very good. Now, although it has improved, it is not much better.

"I hope it won't cause any misunderstanding!" Li Qian said worriedly as he looked at the large number of red dots approaching quickly.
