Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 2045 Childhood Shadow
Zhou Xu was able to understand the Emperor's meaning to a certain extent, and even comprehend it intuitively.

That's because he raised Chitose from childhood, basically treating him like his own child. Over time, this tacit understanding naturally developed.

But he obviously couldn't understand Delar. At most, he could sense its emotional fluctuations through mental perception to understand its general intentions, but he couldn't understand what it specifically wanted to express.

As for Eredar, he had been with Delar for over three hundred years, but during those three hundred years, Delar was more like his underling.

Given Eredar's personality, he obviously wouldn't bother to understand Delar's thoughts; in his view, Delar only needed to obey his orders.

At this moment, they were clearly unaware that Delar was leading them to find his 'old enemy'.

Even if he knew, it wouldn't matter. He came out this time to recruit powerful sea beasts, and he didn't care at all whether Delar would use this opportunity to settle personal scores.

The Black Sail Vanguard sailed further and further away, soon exceeding the original exploration limits of the Black Sail Fleet.

In fact, under Lin Youshu's command, their Great Zhou fleet had already explored more distant sea areas in recent years.

Even in the eyes of the Great Zhou, this was considered a normal exploration of the surrounding sea areas.

During this process, Lin Youshu confirmed that by starting from Dark Spirit Island and exploring northwestward, they soon discovered a large area of ​​void.

And the pointer of the compass at the place of his inheritance points straight to the opposite side of the void.

The void fragments opposite them were already quite close.

Looking across the void into the distance, one can see that the opposite side is also the sea, stretching as far as the eye can see, with not a single island in sight.

It is estimated that the assembly may be completed within the next five years.

However, based on current observations, it has little impact on them.

The side separated by the void was not much to see for Zhou Xu. In fact, as their exploration of the continent became more and more comprehensive over the years, apart from the southern region that had been explored to the sea and the side with a large area still to be explored, the other areas were basically enveloped by the void.

At this moment, they naturally began exploring the sea area that still had room for exploration.

"Your Majesty, if we continue any further, we will be leaving the known seas."

Simply put, unexpected situations could occur at any time.

Almost at the same time that the soldiers reported the situation to him, Delar also surfaced, clearly also to warn them.

Needless to say, Zhou Xu and Ereda simultaneously concealed their auras.

What they want now is to lure the target in, not to intimidate the other side and prevent them from getting close.

This action confirmed to Delar that they understood his meaning, and he then plunged back into the sea.

He was genuinely a little nervous at that moment. Even though Zhou Xu and Ereda were there to back him up, he had indeed been badly beaten back then.

Thinking about it carefully, at least four hundred years have passed since he was beaten up. For Delar, this was a childhood trauma that was particularly profound.

Nearly four hundred years is not a short time, even for long-lived races.

During this time, Delar did consider the possibility that the other party might no longer be in that sea area.

Normally, however, extraordinary beings that have already occupied their territory will not easily leave their territory unless they are driven away by a stronger invader.

They generally don't have much to do, and as long as they have food and drink in their own territory, they won't think about leaving.

At this moment, Delar's nine heads were in a state of confusion, thinking about this and that, without any peace of mind. In his impression, that big guy was most likely lurking in the deep sea, but he did not rashly dive into the deep sea. He was now more inclined to make some noise and lure the other party to the shallow sea area.

In this way, he can cling to Zhou Xu and Ereda's coattails and easily deal with them.

With this in mind, Delar began to thrash about in the shallow waters, taking the opportunity to hunt fish from the other side of the territory.

Just then, Delar noticed that something resembling a black mist was suddenly surging towards him from the deep sea below.

As a large amount of black fog emerged from the seawater, the shallow sea area, which was originally quite clear under the sunlight, suddenly became dark.

This scene, both familiar and unfamiliar, instantly stirred up a terrible memory for Delar.

No doubt, that guy is here!
With no intention of staying put to fight, Delar swam towards the sea without hesitation.

However, the opponent moved even faster. Delar only felt a sudden violent surge in the sea below. Without having time to think, Delar immediately activated his protective shield.

Almost at the same time, a colossal creature slammed into him with a relentless, all-or-nothing charge.

The impact was incredibly powerful; Delar's shield couldn't even withstand a single blow before it was shattered instantly!

At the same time, the sea exploded, and half of Delar's body was thrown out of the water. The subsequent violent impact made Delar feel like his whole body was about to fall apart.

Driven purely by instinct, Delar wanted to distance himself from the other party.

But the other party didn't give him that chance at all. As it hit him, a large number of tentacles with suction cups quickly shot out and wrapped around Delar's body.

While tightening, it continuously exerted force, attempting to drag Delar into the deep sea.

Feeling the pulling force, Delar instinctively spat out poisonous mist and struggled desperately.

The highly corrosive poisonous fog quickly enveloped the surrounding area, but the surface of the opponent's tentacles seemed to be covered with a special kind of mucus, which now completely served as a protective film for the opponent.

The corrosive effects from the Delar toxic fog were mostly blocked by this protective film and did not have much effect.

During this process, the poisonous fog came into contact with the seawater and was quickly diluted, thus reducing its impact on the monster.

The dire situation, coupled with the trauma of his childhood, threw Delar into a panic, and he instinctively wanted to ask Zhou Xu and Ereda for help.

They found Zhou Xu and Ereda standing at the bow of the ship in the distance, completely unmoved. As it stands, they have no intention of making a move.

Now, Delar completely panicked. Faced with the childhood trauma right before his eyes, he roared repeatedly, as if crying out, "Your Majesty, why are you just watching, Your Majesty?!"

Finally, Ereda couldn't stand it anymore and shouted...

"That guy's just a Vajra Realm cultivator, what are you afraid of, you stupid snake? Fight him!!"

Zhou Xu and Ereda didn't make a move at this moment, not because they wanted to trick Delar; they weren't that bored.

From Zhou Xu and Ereda's perspective, this extraordinary creature at the Vajra Realm level was an excellent opponent for Delar.

If they were to make a move, the battle would end immediately.

Conversely, letting Delar fight the opponent first will not only allow Delar to accumulate combat experience, but also bring him considerable stimulation, and may even create an opportunity for a breakthrough.

To put it even more bluntly, if Delar wants to be the leader of the sea monster army, he has to show some strength, right?
Compared to them taking action and instantly eliminating the opponent, having Delar defeat the opponent would be more convincing to the opponent.
