The journey back and forth took eight days. After adding on the seven days that Sharbao had spent with the Merman Race, exactly 15 days had passed.
Sharbao entered the island with the information he had gathered within the time limit.
However, after coming ashore, there was no sign of Lei Luo, nor was there any sign of Shardin under the sea. Just as he was wondering, Shardin popped his head out from the other side of the island.
“Sharbao, I’m here. How’s the information gathering? Is the race doing well?”
Seeing Shardin walking over, Sharbao went up to him. “I’ve collected quite a lot of information, but most of it is from the past. There might be some changes in the past four days. The race is still alright. Gehr is helping to look after it.”
“Where is the Lord Poison Dragon?”
Shardin shook his head. “I’m not sure. The Lord Poison Dragon rarely returns to the island these days, and it doesn’t eat much barbecue. We should be able to see it tonight.”
“What news do you have? Tell me.”
Sharbao did not think too much about it. He began to talk about the information he collected from Gehr and the human merchants.
Meanwhile, he planned to give the newspaper to Lei Luo for him to take a look first. He did not give it to Shardin at the moment.
The two of them chatted happily on the island. At the edge of the island, a ‘rock’ slowly opened its eyes and looked at them without saying anything.
The ‘rock’ watched them for a while before quietly retreating into the sea. Its body gradually changed.
It no longer looked like a rock. It was clearly a powerful Poison Dragon!
Lei Luo was very satisfied with the changes and adaptability of his body. He had put aside his meals for the past few days for the sake of this Camouflage Spell that he had obtained from his inherited memories.
This Camouflage Spell could not only change one’s appearance and aura, but it could also change one’s body structure if one’s body could withstand it.
The only bad thing was that Lei Luo could not control this spell well.
He could only change his appearance and aura to another item or creature that he was particularly familiar with. Otherwise, it would give people a very strange feeling.
This was just like if land creatures appeared in the deep sea. Anyone who saw this would feel that something was wrong.
Lei Luo thought about it and decided to use the rocks on the island as a sample. While practicing this spell, he could test whether he would be discovered.
From the looks of it, it would not be a problem to hide himself from Shardin and Sharbao.
As for the deeper level of the spell that changed the structure of one’s body, Lei Luo did not dare to try it. He could not activate it either.
After moving around at the bottom of the sea, Lei Luo did not go ashore to meet Sharbao. Instead, he flew towards the sea area where he hunted.
No matter what urgent news there was, strength was the key to dealing with everything. It would take a lot of time to return from the hunt, so it was a good opportunity to observe if anyone was following Sharbao here.
Lei Luo did not go to the area where Level-5 sea beasts were present to hunt. He encountered a Level-4 Thunder Shark in the area where Level-3 sea beasts were found and brought it back to the island.
When he returned to the island, it was midnight. He took the opportunity to survey the surrounding sea area and did not find any suspicious creatures.
“At least he’s honest and didn’t think of selling me out.”
Lei Luo muttered in his heart and flapped his wings to fly to the island. The commotion he caused was just enough for Shardin and Shardin to go ashore. This saved Lei Luo the trouble of calling for them.
After leaving the Thunder Shark at the usual barbecue place, Lei Luo closed his eyes and waited.
Before long, Shardin and Sharbao came ashore and approached him.
“Lord Poison Dragon, I’ve returned from the Merman Race. I’ve brought back quite a bit of news from the humans. Among them, there’s some news that is related to you.”
Lei Luo opened his eyes and lifted his chin to signal at Shardin. “Let’s start the barbecue. Keep talking, Sharbao.”
“What news is related to me?”
Sharbao presented the fish scales that he had recorded the news on, as well as the newspaper that he had brought. He said, “Your mother should be involved in this. Furthermore, there is a lot of information about the human world. I can’t tell if the information is real or fake, but I’ve collected all of them.”
“The Mage Union has sent 20 Legendary powerhouses into the depths of the sea. The Mercenary Guild has also sent out some members. However, we don’t know anything about the involvement of the Demigods.”
“Furthermore, with the human merchants stationed there, it’s possible that the incident won’t die down soon. It will last for a while.”
Lei Luo listened quietly without expressing any opinion as he flipped through the fish scale records.
Sharbao was very diligent when he went back this time. He summarized the information he had recorded, allowing Lei Luo to immediately understand the general outline of the matter.
Thinking back, Lei Luo was suddenly glad for his decision to move. Otherwise, he might have run into a Legendary human expert.
When they moved, the descendants of the human nobles had already arrived at the Merman Race. On the second day, they returned. Thus, it must have been the Legendary powerhouses who brought the other humans into the sea. If Lei Luo and the others left a day later, they would probably be discovered.
After that, the two Legendary powerhouses went deep into the sea. No one knew what happened there. However, one of them was dead and the other was seriously injured, which caused the human world to react.
Now that the matter had blown up, the information that was originally hidden was exposed.
Putting down the scale in his hand that recorded the information, Lei Luo’s gaze flickered. He was a little hesitant. “Should I go and take a look? Although it won’t be of much use if I go, I won’t be willing to just wait. After all, she’s my mother in this lifetime.”
“If I use the Camouflage Spell to transform into a merman, the Legendary powerhouses might not discover me, but it’s hard to say whether the Demigods would.”
“If only I knew the specifics.”
Regardless of whether he went or not, there was a problem. Lei Luo pushed against the ground in frustration.
If he didn’t go, he would simply watch as his mother was surrounded by human experts. Perhaps the news of her death would spread at any time. However, if he went, with his current Level-3 abilities, he would just be an additional reward for the human experts.
“If only I had a way to deal with the Demigods.”
Lei Luo lay on the floor with this thought flashing through his mind. However, he then realized it was impossible.
How could newborn babies have the power to hurt adults?
Roar!
Lei Luo spat out a mouthful of poisonous breath. After venting, he continued to push against the ground.
However, looking at the poisonous breath that was fused with all kinds of characteristics, Lei Luo calmed down. His eyes flickered slightly as he started to recall the memories from when he had just awakened his bloodline talent.
That day, he had a dream. He dreamed of the Poison Dragon Ancestor. When he woke up, his bloodline talent was awakened, and he also had a memory.
“This memory contains the highest bloodline talent of the Poison Dragon bloodline, as well as the instructions and cultivation method of [Characteristic Synthesis]. Without my permission, my descendants are not allowed to inherit it!”
“Anyone who tries to spy on the instructions will be cursed by me. In the name of the Poisonous Dragon Ancestor, I will set an eternal contract!”
Lei Luo still remembered that the Poison Dragon Ancestor, who wore a crown, had set a contract in front of the river of time.
Could he use the memories of his bloodline talent to deal with the Demigods?
For the Ancestor to be able to peer into the river of time, the curse left behind must be extremely powerful.
The more Lei Luo thought about it, the more tempted he became. Ignoring the Thunder Shark that was still being barbecued, he got up and flew towards the hunting area. “Eat the Thunder Shark. Treat it as a reward for collecting the information.”

Shardin and Sharbao looked at each other. They were puzzled and did not think much about it.
On the other side, Lei Luo was carving the instructions and cultivation method of [Characteristic Synthesis] on the scales as he flew.
The method he would use to activate the curse and kill the enemy still required experimentation.
This was because the definition of a spy was very vague. Was it that the person who observed Lei Luo’s memories was a spy, or was it that no matter what method one used, seeing the description of the [Characteristic Synthesis] and the cultivation method counted?
If it was the latter, then it was simply unimaginable!
