Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 2044 Exploring the Sea
In Zhou Xu's view, Delar's strength was average, so he did not let Delar act on his own before, so as not to do anything beyond his control.

Only today, with Eredar, did the operation officially begin.

With Zhou Xu and Ereda around, they can handle at least 90% of the situations, if not everything.

Even if the sea monster on the other side is stronger than Delar, it doesn't matter. As long as Delar can lure the monster to the shallow sea area, Zhou Xu can easily deal with it.

The existence of the Eredar is more like adding an extra layer of insurance.

At this point, some people might wonder, if the sea monsters that are recruited next are stronger than Delar, how can we ensure that Delar can keep these sea monsters in check after Zhou Xu and Ereda leave?

In fact, this line of thinking is wrong.

In such a situation, it would no longer be Delar who would be responsible for deterring the sea monsters.

As mentioned before, Delar is Zhou Xu's henchman in the sea.

The relationship between Zhou Xu and Delar is somewhat similar to that between an emperor and his chief eunuch.

Why did ancient ministers still show deference to this powerful eunuch?
Are they afraid of this chief eunuch?
No, what they fear is the emperor behind this grand eunuch.

Zhou Xu felt the same way. Delar was his representative in the sea. Delar's existence was to tell those sea beasts that his hand could reach into the sea, and that they shouldn't think that they could escape into the sea and that he was powerless against them!

Therefore, as long as those sea beasts still fear Zhou Xu, they will not dare to disobey Delar.

Of course, from Zhou Xu's perspective, if Delar's strength is truly insufficient, and the sea beasts he recruits later are indeed so outstanding and sensible, then he wouldn't really care about changing the leader of the sea beast force.

After all, this matter doesn't necessarily have to be handled by Delar.

Actually, anyone can be the leader of the sea monster force, the key is loyalty, and ability should come after loyalty.

The Black Sail Vanguard Ship sailed through the waves and soon arrived at the outer perimeter of Dark Spirit Island. Standing at the bow, Zhou Xu's spiritual perception spread out without any concealment.

At that time, Delar was dozing off in the sea. When Zhou Xu's spiritual perception swept over him, Delar's snake scales immediately bristled.

In that instant, Delar realized who had arrived, and the nine snake heads became more alert and quickly ran to greet them.

The sea broke open, and looking at Delar, whose body was as large as a small mountain, Zhou Xu glanced at him indifferently. At this moment, he could even see a hint of flattery in those nine snake heads.

"I should have reminded you to work on improving your skills. It's been several years, how come you haven't made any progress at all?"

Just now, Zhou Xu had already scanned the other party with his 'Peeping Eyes'. His strength was still at the Silver Level 2 of the Vajra Realm, but his loyalty had increased considerably.

Perhaps because he has been living a very comfortable life these past few years, Delar's loyalty has now reached 75 points.

Upon hearing this, Delar's face, adorned with nine snakes, was filled with grievance.

Good heavens, it's only been a few years! How easy is it for them, extraordinary beings, to cultivate?

With this thought in mind, Delar turned to look at Ereda standing to the side with a wronged expression, feeling that Ereda would surely understand him.

To everyone's surprise, Eredar nodded seriously.

"Yes, it's too slow."

Delaton was struck dumb, his eyes filled with disbelief, as if he had been betrayed.

In Delar's view, his cultivation efficiency was about the same as Eredar's. He quickly made a connection and figured that this guy probably still remembered his betrayal and was still holding a grudge.

Little did he know that after spending the past few years in the Da Zhou Military Region, Ereda was no longer the same person he used to be.

At the same time, he had long since lost his anger over Delar's betrayal back then. After all, in conclusion, he himself had submitted to the Great Zhou, so what grounds did he have to blame Delar for not being firm enough back then?

Seeing the dejected Delar, Zhou Xu was too lazy to dwell on it anymore.

"Alright, let's leave it at that. Go lead the way and set off."

Upon hearing this, Delar immediately perked up.

There was no intention to call on Hilke, after all, the island still needed a capable fighter to keep it in check.

If they take Hilk away, and Hydra's Delar is also absent, it could be dangerous if the island is attacked during this time.

There was no intention to dock for rest; Zhou Xu indicated that they should depart immediately.

Although Zhou Xu and Ereda considered Delar a pushover, it was undeniable that a transcendent being who could cultivate to the Vajra Realm might not be able to match the current top experts, but it was definitely not weak.

Such extraordinary beings typically possess a sense of territory.

Within their own territory, they will not allow any other creatures that could threaten them to exist.

Centered on Dark Spirit Island, the surrounding seas are all Delar's territory. This is the biggest reason why they have never been attacked by other sea monsters or supernatural creatures over the years.

Once those strange beasts and extraordinary creatures sensed Delar's presence, they would keep their distance and never approach him.

In recent years, Delar has not been completely idle. When Lin Youshu sent out a fleet to carry out reconnaissance missions in the surrounding waters, he also went along for the time being.

Nothing was found in the surrounding waters, which may be because the creatures that originally occupied that area of ​​water fled in advance after sensing Delar's presence.

After all, territorial disputes in nature don't necessarily escalate to the point where a fight breaks out the moment someone steps into another's territory.

This is especially true for more intelligent beasts and extraordinary creatures.

They are all very intelligent, so they know very well that getting injured is a dangerous thing in nature.

Once you are injured, other creatures will have an opportunity to take advantage of you.

Therefore, when they are not confident, they often choose to avoid battle, and you may not even see their faces.

Delar himself was aware of this, so he didn't waste any time in the surrounding waters at all, but instead took the Black Sail Vanguard ship and swam towards the outermost waters.

Delar remembered that when he was young, he once swam too far away and wandered into the territory of other sea monsters. As a result, he was beaten up badly and ran back with a bruised and swollen face.

He developed a psychological aversion to that area and never went near it again.

During this time, he did consider that the opponent's strength probably wasn't much greater than his own.

After all, if that were the case, he would have died there and wouldn't have been able to escape, but he didn't dare to go back.

But things are different now. He's like a brat who can't beat someone and has to call his parents. Zhou Xu and Ereda, who are with him, are his biggest source of confidence. Today is the day he gets his revenge!
