I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2029 Dinghai Stick

The table where Liu Jun sat gathered the core figures of the sea beast tribe. They were either elders in high positions or generals with heavy troops. Each of them held a pivotal position in the sea beast tribe. Liu Jun, as the son of the Heavenly Fire Divine Realm and the savior of the sea beast tribe, attracted even more attention.

"Senior Sabella, please don't praise me like that. If you keep praising me I'll become arrogant." Liu Jun replied with a smile, his words containing a bit of humility and humor.

“Haha, no way.” Upon hearing this, the Sea Beast King laughed loudly, his voice as loud as a bell. “The wine of our Sea Beast Clan is brewed with rare ingredients from the deep sea. It not only tastes mellow, but also is not intoxicating. Your Highness, please feel free to enjoy it.”

As the Sea Beast King finished speaking, the atmosphere at the table became even more lively. Everyone raised their glasses and drank together, laughing and talking.

After the banquet was over, the noise in the hall gradually faded away, and the guests left one after another. At this time, only Liu Jun, the Sea Beast King, the Great Prince, and several heavyweights of the Sea Beast Clan were left in the empty hall. They sat around a round table, sipping tea and continuing their previous conversation. The atmosphere seemed relaxed and comfortable.

Sabella, the think tank of the sea beasts, was leaning forward slightly at this moment, and asked Liu Jun a key question: "Your Highness, I wonder how the plan you mentioned earlier is going now?"

His tone revealed some concern and expectation. It was obvious that he had learned from the Sea Beast King that Liu Jun wanted to use the power of the sea beasts to contain the army of the Cold Water Divine Realm.

Upon hearing this, Liu Jun gently put down the teacup in his hand, and a confident smile appeared on his lips: "Preparations are almost complete, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. However, in order to ensure that the plan is foolproof, I still need some river beasts as research subjects to gain a deeper understanding of their physical characteristics."

Sabella's eyes flashed with curiosity when she heard this: "Oh? Can you tell me more about your plan? We can also provide you with more support and assistance."

The eyes of the others also fell on Liu Jun, with a hint of expectation in their eyes, and they were obviously very interested in Liu Jun's plan.

Seeing this, Liu Jun nodded slightly and began to elaborate on his plan. He first introduced the overall framework and goals of the plan, and then explained in detail the key points that need to be paid attention to and the difficulties that may be encountered during the implementation process.

Everyone present listened with great interest, nodding their heads in agreement from time to time. They knew very well that this plan not only concerned the future of the sea beasts, but also the safety of the entire Death Sea.

"The plan is perfect and seems very feasible, but there are several key points. The first is the poison you mentioned, which must be able to poison the river beasts but not our sea beast soldiers. The second is that the duration of the poison must be long enough, otherwise when the poison dissipates, our sea beast tribe will not be able to hold on for too long. And the third point is the issue of the time to send troops," said Sabella.

"As for the time to send troops, the earlier the better," Liu Jun said.

He was well aware of the urgency of time. The army of the Cold Water Divine Realm had already assembled and could set out to attack the Sky Fire Divine Realm at any time, so any moment of delay could bring unpredictable consequences.

"I'm afraid not. Your Highness doesn't know that." Sabella bowed slightly, with a hint of helplessness and worry in her tone. "Next to At City, there is a deep and huge trench, and under this trench, there are hundreds of volcanoes ready to erupt. They are like the guard dogs of hell, always ready to erupt with destructive anger. And these volcanoes, according to our observations and records, will usher in a large-scale eruption in the near future, which will last for a period of time. During this period, none of us can easily leave At City, so as not to suffer unexpected disasters."

Hearing this, Liu Jun raised a faint smile and gently sipped the fragrant tea in his hand. "What if I can suppress these volcanoes permanently?"

When Liu Jun heard that the sea beast tribe was unable to send troops due to some reason, he was secretly happy. His master's wife was really good at foresight and prepared treasures for him in advance. Otherwise, he really would not be able to refute the sea beast tribe's reason.

Liu Jun's voice was not loud, but it was like a thunder, exploding in the meeting hall in an instant.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Those high-ranking members of the Sea Beast Tribe, who were originally quite calm, now all looked at them in shock and disbelief. The volcano in the trench erupts every few years, and each eruption is like the end of the world, bringing endless disasters and losses to At City. In order to resist the invasion of the volcano, the Sea Beast Tribe had to consume a lot of manpower and material resources to carry out difficult defense and rescue work. If Liu Jun can really solve this problem permanently, it will undoubtedly be a great blessing for the Sea Beast Tribe, a big trouble that can get rid of them for many years.

The Sea Beast King’s brows were furrowed, his expression was solemn and serious, as if he was going through an inner struggle and weighing of considerations.

"Your Highness, this matter is not a joke." The Sea Beast King's voice was low, and every word hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer. He knew the power and terror of volcanic eruptions, and he also knew that it was not easy to suppress these volcanoes permanently. Therefore, he expressed great doubt and caution about Liu Jun's words.

However, facing the Sea Beast King's questioning, Liu Jun just smiled slightly. He slowly stood up and walked to the center of the hall. He took out an exquisite wooden box from his arms. The wooden box was carved with complex and mysterious patterns, emitting a faint fluorescence, as if it contained some unspeakable power.

"I have a treasure here, you can take a look." Liu Jun's voice was calm and confident, as if everything was under control and victory was already in his grasp.

As he finished speaking, everyone held their breath and waited until Liu Jun slowly opened the wooden box in his hand. At that moment, the air in the entire room seemed to freeze, and everyone's eyes were focused on the opened wooden box.

Inside the wooden box, quietly lay a treasure emitting a faint glow. This was the legendary Dinghai Stick, a mysterious stick with magical powers. Its surface was engraved with ancient runes, and it glowed with a faint glow, as if it contained endless power. "Dinghai Stick?" Sabella, a veteran of the three dynasties of the Sea Beast Clan, trembled in his voice, and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes. She recognized this legendary treasure at a glance, and an indescribable excitement surged in her heart.

"Is this the Dinghai Stick?" The surrounding high-ranking sea beasts exclaimed in amazement, their faces filled with shock and expectation.

"We're saved, we're saved!" An elderly high-ranking member of the sea beast tribe was so excited that he almost jumped up, his voice filled with joy and relief.

The appearance of the Dinghai Stick means that they finally have a way to suppress the hundreds of volcanoes in the trench again, and the sea beasts will be free from the nightmare of volcanic invasions from now on.

Other high-ranking members of the sea beast tribe also showed excitement. Some of them were older and had heard of the legend of the Dinghai Stick and had seen its appearance; some had never seen it, but the legend of the Dinghai Stick had long been widely circulated among the sea beast tribe, and they knew the value of this treasure very well.

It is rumored that many years ago, although there were hundreds of volcanoes in this trench, like time bombs, these volcanoes seemed to be restrained by an invisible force and could only erupt on a small scale and could not wreak havoc.

This mysterious power comes from a legendary treasure, which quietly suppresses the volcano, making each eruption as gorgeous and gentle as fireworks. These eruptions not only did not cause any damage to the vicinity of the trench, but instead brought an unexpected gift - a large number of rare minerals. These minerals are colorful and flashing with attractive light, as if they are the most precious gift from nature.

The sea beasts collected these ores and exchanged them with other tribes for the materials and necessities they needed. Relying on these ores, the sea beasts spent many years of peace and prosperity, and their tribe prospered.

However, the good times did not last long, and a secret about this treasure gradually spread to the outside world.

It turns out that the treasure that suppressed the volcano was not ownerless, but had its own name and legend. It was called the "Sea-Setting Stick", a treasure with magical powers that could change size, length, or length. It was extremely strong and could make any sea or river very quiet.

After learning of this secret, some people from outside became interested and offered a high price to obtain the Dinghai Stick.

At that time, a traitor among the sea beasts became greedy, so he colluded with outsiders, secretly found the Dinghai Stick, and took it away from the trench.

Since then, the volcanoes in the trench have become extremely unstable. The frequency and size of eruptions have greatly increased, sometimes erupting only once every few years, and sometimes even a violent eruption every few days.

These sudden disasters caught the sea beasts off guard. Many of the tribesmen who went to collect ore were swallowed up by the ruthless volcano. Their lives were fleeting like meteors across the night sky.

The sea beasts fell into an unprecedented crisis, and they began to look for the stolen treasure, the Dinghai Stick. After countless searches and inquiries, they still found nothing.

"Your Highness, can you show me this Dinghai Stick?" Sabella's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes flashed with uncontrollable excitement and awe. He clenched his hands unconsciously, as if he was afraid that this was just an illusory dream that would be shattered at any time.

Liu Jun smiled lightly and handed the wooden box over without any hesitation.

Sabella carefully took the wooden box with his shaking hands. His eyes were fixed on the Dinghai stick in the wooden box, with a look of nostalgia and endless emotion. The Dinghai stick lay quietly in the wooden box, emitting a faint white light.

"I can still see the Dinghai Stick in my lifetime, I will die without regrets, I will die without regrets..." Sabella murmured in a low voice, with a hint of sobs in his voice. His thoughts seemed to have returned to the distant past, the days that were closely connected with the Dinghai Stick.

Back then, Sabela was an important official in the sea beast tribe, and his son Sabi Wanyi was responsible for guarding the legendary Dinghai Stick. However, no one expected that the young man who was once highly expected would betray his tribe and steal the Dinghai Stick.

This incident caused a great uproar among the sea beasts. Sabella, a veteran of three dynasties, was directly regarded as a traitor because of the behavior of this unfilial son. He was forced to resign from the position of prime minister of the sea beasts, and his heart was filled with endless regret and pain.

If it weren't for the Sea Beast King who saved his life, Sabella would have been torn to pieces by the angry sea beasts. However, although he saved his life, he was left with an indelible pain in his heart. Whenever it was late at night, he would think of that dark day and the son who betrayed him.

As time went by, the sea beast tribe also experienced countless changes. The current sea beast king visited Sabella three times and begged him to come out of retirement and serve the tribe. Seeing the declining sea beast tribe, Sabella felt an indescribable sense of responsibility. He finally decided to let go of the past grudges and take up the heavy responsibility on his shoulders again.

At this moment, when he saw the Dinghai Stick again, all the past events came flooding back to his mind. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that the return of the Dinghai Stick was not only the recovery of a lost treasure, but also the hope for the resurgence of the sea beasts.
