Lei Luo ran in the sea for 30 minutes, then hid behind a reef. He frowned, puzzled. “Who was it that caught up to me? Why did they specifically go to the deserted island and use the scouting spell?”
“That deserted island has no value. Did they know that I would be on the island?”
“That’s impossible. After I was born, no matter how far I went, they didn’t appear at sea. I didn’t encounter any human merchant ships either. The news shouldn’t have leaked.”
“If it’s not because of me, then it must be because of external factors. Could it be my parents?”
Lei Luo’s heart was racing as he was nervous. He felt that he had guessed the truth.
However, soon after, the thoughts in his mind changed again. Perhaps it was because before he was born, the golden eyes in the sky leaked the news and wanted to lure human experts to kill him.
When the pair of golden eyes made its second move, it was stopped by an unknown existence. Furthermore, its tone was rather nasty. It probably did not dare to attack again.
Recalling the cold, aloof eyes in his memories, Lei Luo found it hard to control his body. He wanted to go back and fight the people on the island.
However, his rationality prevented him from doing so. With his current strength as a Level-2 Poison Dragon and his synthesized poisonous breath, he could at most fight an early-stage Level-5 creature to a draw. If the other party had more helpers, he would be at a disadvantage. If the enemy was beyond Level-5, it was very likely that he would be completely suppressed.
“I’ll bear with it for now and observe the situation tomorrow.”
Lei Luo scratched the reef and calmed down. He lay prone on the seabed, his eyes half-closed as he slept.
Suddenly, an undercurrent surged over from afar, causing the seaweed to sway left and right.
“Mm? Have they caught up? They’re not slow.”
Lei Luo tilted his head and looked in the direction of the undercurrent. After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth and spat out his poisonous breath, directly tainting the seawater within a kilometer.
The other party was very fast. Relatively speaking, it was difficult for them to change directions.
Thus, as long as the other party entered a range of one kilometer from Lei Luo in the sea, he could control his poison to invade their bodies.
If he hid in the dark, he could avoid a situation where he was unable to deal with the experts who came. If he suddenly encountered them, he would be in danger. Even if he wanted revenge, his life was in his hands.
It was impossible for him to lose his life because of revenge. This point was clear to Lei Luo.
After waiting for a few minutes, the undercurrents raged and two balls of blue light rushed over.
“Mm? There’s something ahead. I can’t go around it.”
“Let’s charge over and return to the race! We’ve done a great deed! This is enough for us to enjoy yourselves for a long time! Perhaps that might be some ignorant sea beasts!”
“It looks like something that the cuttlefish made. It’s useless against us.”
“We’ll deal with it later.”
The two mermen did not slow down. After discussing, they accelerated again.
Lei Luo, who was lying on the seabed, was confused. “They aren’t humans? Why do they have fish heads?”
As he watched the two mermen enter the zone of his poisonous breath, a trace of malevolence flashed across Lei Luo’s eyes. He immediately activated his poisonous breath that began to invade them.
Regardless of whether they were humans or not, the fact that they were coming from the direction of his island was the most suspicious point!
He would capture them first and see if he could communicate with them. If he couldn’t, he would have to kill them.
Even Level-3 merman warriors could not withstand his poisonous breath after it had been diluted twice. However, these two mermen were only at Level-2. Furthermore, the poisonous breath had directly invaded their bodies. Their swimming speed instantly slowed down, and the blue shield around their bodies shattered.
Lei Luo was a little surprised as he watched the mermen sink to the bottom of the sea.
“Are they so weak?”
He had thought that there would be a huge battle, but who would have thought that it would be resolved so quickly?
Lei Luo stepped forward slowly and looked at the two unconscious mermen. He pressed his dragon claws against each of their foreheads to prevent the poison from invading their minds. He did not care about the rest.
Lei Luo looked around and found an underwater cave that was sealed off on three sides. He stuffed the two mermen inside and woke them up.
“Where is this? Damn it, it’s definitely not caused by the cuttlefish.”
“Who dares to touch the Merman Race in this sea?”
“Is it a sea beast? It doesn’t look like it.”
“Business is more important. Let’s go back and inform our race first. We’ll deal with this later.”
The underwater cave was relatively small. After Lei Luo tucked the two mermen in, he stayed outside to eavesdrop.
If they were intelligent creatures, the first thing they would do when they woke up would be to confirm where they were. Then, they would communicate with their companions. If they were not intelligent and rushed out, then Lei Luo would kill them.
After listening to the conversation inside, Lei Luo smiled.
After so long, he finally met two intelligent creatures. Although they were weaker, they were suitable for him to control.
The two mermen simply walked out of the cave. Lei Luo chuckled and grabbed them with his claws. “Where do you want to run to?”
In the face of this sudden attack, the two mermen struggled subconsciously. However, there was still poison in their bodies. If Lei Luo hadn’t helped to suppress the poison, they would have died long ago. However, even if the poison was suppressed, they wouldn’t be able to use much strength.
Seeing that struggling was useless, the mermen on the left prepared to cast a spell to resist.
“Mm? Are you not sure of the situation?”
Lei Luo narrowed his eyes and slammed his dragon claws down. He would not be polite with these two mermen. If they did not satisfy him, he would have to deal with them here.
Either way, there were humans invading the island, and he was frustrated that he had nowhere to vent his anger.
With this fall, the rationality of the two mermen returned, and they could see half of Lei Luo’s body on the ground.
“Is… is this the legendary Dragon Race?”
“Are you from the Dragon… Dragon Race?”
The two mermen stumbled back, their words slurred and their eyes filled with fear.
According to the legends of the Merman Race, the Dragon Race was an extremely vicious and powerful race that could not be provoked easily. Moreover, the Dragon Race hated marine creatures and would slaughter marine creatures that were hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.
What happened 800 years ago had become a legend among the Merman Race.
“Wow, not bad. You’re so afraid of me. Things are easier now.”
Seeing the frantic movements of the two mermen, the corners of Lei Luo’s mouth curled up slightly.
Knowing that they feared him saved him the trouble of interrogating them separately. If he wanted to know anything, he could just ask them.
Upon thinking of this, Lei Luo said, “I won’t kill you. I have something to ask.”
“Where are you from and where are you going? Do you have frequent contact with humans?”
Upon hearing the assurance from Lei Luo, the two mermen’s frightened emotions eased slightly. After exchanging a glance, the merman on the left said, “We are patrolling the nearby sea area. Now, we are preparing to return to the race. We also occasionally interact with humans.”
“What news did you find? Why did you run so quickly?”
The neck of the merman on the left shrunk. “We accidentally entered an island behind you. We sensed a similar aura there and were frightened, so we ran more quickly.”

“If there are any powerful creatures in the surrounding sea area, we will inform our race. The next time we come to hunt, we will go around this area to avoid provoking you.”
Lei Luo narrowed his eyes, then asked, “Do you have contact with humans once every few years?”
“There will be a trade trip every five years. It will take a lot of effort for them to come to us, so they will accumulate enough goods before coming again.”
“Not bad. But unfortunately, you shouldn’t have lied.”
Lei Luo sneered and raised his claw to slap the merman on the left to death..
