Chapter 276: Chapter 226 People from the Sky Patrol Department_2
Yu Hui waved his hand and said, “Alright, you look very tired. Clean yourself up and get some rest. I’ll call you before we leave B-6 Island.”
Su Yuan nodded and was about to find a place to rest in the camp when he suddenly remembered something.
“By the way, Teacher Yu, have we found out the reason behind the sea beasts attacking B-6 Island?”
Seeing Su Yuan inquire, Yu Hui pondered for a moment, then said seriously, “Well, since you were the first to discover this attack, I’ll tell you.”
Seeing Yu Hui’s serious expression, Su Yuan knew this matter was probably not as simple as the few thousand sea beasts on the island.
“This B-6 Island is just a small skirmish. The more significant confrontation is in the southern seas of the Southern Islands.
Since the attacks began, powerful sea beasts of the Sun and Moon levels have been continuously appearing in the southern seas of the islands.
Up to now, there have been over eighty Shining Star Sea Beasts, a dozen Radiant Moon Sea Beasts, and three Burning Sun Sea Beasts, holding off or even suppressing all our experts patrolling outside the islands.”
“So many Sun and Moon level sea beasts!”
Hearing this, Su Yuan was also shocked.
“But that’s not the most critical issue,” Yu Hui shook his head, his face slightly tense, and continued, “According to intelligence from South Pole City, there are even signs of King level beings in the deeper southern regions.”
“King level?!” Su Yuan’s heart skipped a beat.
“That’s right, King level!”
Su Yuan took a deep breath, didn’t expect things to escalate this much.
Compared to the appearance of King level sea beasts, the thousands of Lower Three Levels sea beasts on B-6 Island were nothing, even tens of thousands wouldn’t matter!
“But don’t worry, the South Pole City Lord has already personally set out to locate the King level being in the sea.
And the Seven Coastal Cities around South Pole City have dispatched Sun and Moon level experts, thoroughly blocking the numerous sea beasts in the southern parts of the islands.
Maybe they realized there’s no way more sea beasts can get into B-6 Island, or they have achieved their purpose. Those sea beasts are gradually retreating now.
As for why they mobilized so many powerful sea beasts to organize this night attack…
It seems it’s all because of Yunze Lake on this island!”
Yunze Lake indeed, Su Yuan thought, just as Geng Qiuyi had previously observed.
“Previously, those sea beasts landing on the island, only part of them attacked the camp and the Star Tower Barrier, while more of the elite headed towards Yunze Lake.
After entering Yunze Lake, these sea beasts disappeared without a trace. When we cleared Yunze Lake, we found a teleportation passage at the bottom of the lake connecting to another space.”
Through exploring this teleportation passage, Ji Lang and his team preliminarily estimated that the space on the other side could at least trace back to ancient times, with possibly thousands of years since it was last opened…”
“So, an ancient Secret Realm not opened for over ten thousand years?”
“Yes, and it’s a Gold Level Secret Realm, that’s why they sent so many Lower Three Levels sea beasts for stealth!
Currently, over a thousand sea beasts have entered that space. Most are elite above the silver level, and due to the unknown situation, the Lower Three Levels soldiers on B-6 Island can’t enter recklessly.
So, they are mobilizing warriors from other islands and getting more elite troops from the Southern Military Department.
Su Yuan looked thoughtful, “Even King level beings are acting, this Secret Realm must be extremely important to them…”
“Of course, the involvement of King level beings means there could be Legendary Star Devices!”
“Legendary Star Devices…”
Su Yuan smacked his lips. Just hearing these words made his mouth dry.
But such treasures were not something he could covet now. Even if given to him, he probably couldn’t use them…
Su Yuan shook his head with a bitter smile, then said, “Teacher Yu, I will go rest now.”
“Go ahead, rest well! It seems the sea beast tide for our academy is coming to an end.
Besides, with the ‘Star Tower’ barriers of each island almost completed, and after today’s attack, there won’t be another sea beast tide.
As for the subsequent matters of Yunze Lake, the military will naturally take over.”
Su Yuan nodded and then went to rest in the camp…
…
…
“Su Yuan, Su Yuan…?”
In his sleep, Su Yuan vaguely heard someone calling him. He suddenly opened his eyes and stood up.
“Teacher Yu, Commander Zhou?”
Seeing several people in front of him, Su Yuan quickly stood up and greeted them.
A whole night of high-intensity fighting had exhausted him greatly.
So, he slept deeply and didn’t notice someone calling him at first.
At this moment, besides Yu Hui and Zhou Chao, there was also a young man with purple hair and a faint smile.
This purple-haired young man wore a black robe with gold trim. Although he was only at Shining Star Level, both Yu Hui from the academy and Zhou Chao from the military stood slightly respectfully behind him.
The purple-haired young man smiled and asked, “You are Su Yuan, right?”
Su Yuan replied, “Hello, elder. Yes, I am.”
Above the Shining Star level, the age of a Star Card Master couldn’t be judged by appearance. Star Power tempering could also have an anti-aging effect or even rejuvenation.
Although Su Yuan couldn’t discern the realm of the person before him, it was clear that this person was more influential than Yu Hui and Zhou Chao.
“No need to call me elder; I’m not much older than you,” the purple-haired young man smiled. “I’m called Hou Wu, from the Sky Patrol Department. You can call me Hou Special Envoy.”
Sky Patrol Department, Special Envoy?
Su Yuan’s heart stirred slightly. Although he hadn’t heard of the “Sky Patrol Department,” the title “Special Envoy” sounded familiar.
Quickly, Su Yuan remembered that when he came out of the Molten Lava Cave, he was stopped by two Shining Star Level people.
One was the captain of the Yunyang City Guard, and the other green-haired youth was called “Special Envoy Lu.”
Could he also be from the “Sky Patrol Department”?
“Special Envoy Hou.” Su Yuan greeted again.
Hou Wu nodded, then put away his smile and said seriously, “Su Yuan, the reason I came to find you is that we need some strong Lower Three Levels experts for Yunze Lake.
Zhou Chao recommended you to me, and I have reviewed your performance on B-3 Island. It is indeed impressive, so I hope you can assist us.
Of course, you can refuse. However, if you accept, regardless of whether the mission is successful or not, we will provide substantial rewards.”
Upon hearing this, Su Yuan looked at Yu Hui beside him.
Both Yu Hui and Zhou Chao were furiously signaling with their eyes, hinting for Su Yuan to agree first.
Su Yuan looked back and said, “If it is within my ability, I am willing to help. However, Special Envoy Hou, I need to know the specifics of the situation first.”
Hou Wu laughed heartily, “You are still a student, not a soldier. We certainly won’t push you to a dead end. However, it indeed won’t be easy. Here’s the situation…”
