Reborn as a lotus, she initially refuses to hand it over to the state.

Xuanjia did not rashly attack the Ink King's main body. Instead, it looked at the first division of the Zhenhai Navy and ordered, "Seal off the exit of the hydroelectric power station and do not allow the tentacles to enter."

Dozens of turtle and tortoise water monsters immediately changed direction.

They rushed out of the hydroelectric power station, their shells joined together, forming a thick underwater defense line.

Several tentacles lashed out, and the turtle demons simultaneously released their demonic power, causing the azure barrier to light up.

boom!

As the tentacles fell, the first row of turtle demons were forced back, but the water demons behind them immediately took their place.

The entire defensive line only swayed a few times before stabilizing again.

Inside the hydroelectric power station.

Gu Changhe sensed the sudden appearance of a large amount of demonic energy outside, and his expression changed drastically: "The water demons of the Azure Lotus Forbidden Zone have arrived."

One of the team members asked anxiously, "Captain Gu, what do we do?"

Gu Changhe quickly discovered that the water monsters did not enter the hydroelectric power station to attack them, but instead blocked the tentacles for them.

Luo Shan also noticed the changes outside and said with a strange expression, "They are protecting the exit."

Gu Changhe remained vigilant: "Save people first. No matter what they want to do, our mission remains unchanged."

Shen Qinghe has rescued the seventh survivor.

Gu Changjiang was also separated from the black flesh membrane.

He was in very poor condition; most of his vital energy and blood had been drained from his body, but thankfully he was still alive.

Shen Qinghe said in a deep voice, "His condition is very bad and he needs to be moved immediately."

Gu Changhe looked towards the hydroelectric power station exit, where the area was filled with water monsters from the Azure Lotus Forbidden Zone. Several members of the team looked tense.

No one knows if these water monsters will suddenly attack.

Without hesitation, Gu Changhe gave the order: "Take the wounded out."

One of the team members warned, "Captain Gu, it's very dangerous outside right now."

"You'll die anyway if you stay here."

Gu Changhe took his unconscious younger brother and carried him on his back: "I'll go first."

He swam out of the drainage channel first. Outside, the massive figure of Xuanjia blocked the front of the hydroelectric power station. This was the first time Gu Changhe had seen the Black Dragon Mountain water demon leader up close.

The aura emanating from Xuanjia was so heavy it was suffocating.

Peak of the fourth tier.

Having already faintly touched the threshold of the fifth rank, Gu Changhe's body tensed. He did not retreat, nor did he put down Gu Changjiang on his back. He said directly, "These people, we must take them away."

Xuanjia glanced at him, completely disregarding him, and said in a gruff voice, "We, the Zhenhai Army, do not eat humans."

Gu Changhe was taken aback. Xuanjia didn't explain further. It directly ordered the first water demon to separate to both sides, making way for the human group.

Several large old turtles even stood in front of the injured, shielding them from the impact of the water.

The players in the ninth inning were momentarily stunned by what they saw.

The discipline of these strange beasts far exceeded their expectations.

"Send the wounded ashore, the rest stay behind."

The vice-captain couldn't help but ask, "Captain Gu, are you going to stay?"

Gu Changhe looked at the Ink King in the center of the reservoir: "If this thing doesn't die, no one can leave."

At that moment, all of Mo Wang's eyes turned to Xuanjia.

It seemed to sense the original essence of the blue lotus within the seed lotus.

Beneath the skull, layers of black flesh rapidly swelled up.

The next second, a large cloud of gray-black mist spewed out from its body and merged into the water.

The dozen or so low-level water monsters on the outermost edge of the Zhenhai Army froze simultaneously.

Black blood vessels appeared in their eyes, and then they turned around and attacked their companions.

Xuanjia's eyes turned cold, and the water-suppressing patterns on his back suddenly lit up.

"town!"

A low, rippling wave spread out from it.

The out-of-control water monsters suddenly sank, pressed firmly to the bottom of the lake by the water pressure.

Instead of killing them, Xuanjia used its domain to isolate the gray fog and temporarily suppress the pollution.

Seeing this, Gu Changhe instantly realized the problem and said, "This black mist can corrupt the mind."

Xuanjia said, "It's being controlled by something else."

Gu Changhe looked at Mo Wang, somewhat seriously: "You found out too?"

Xuanjia turned his gaze to the area below the dam, where the aura was even more dangerous than that of the Ink King.

Gu Changhe also closed his eyes, and the heavy water domain spread along the water flow. Every subtle vibration in the entire reservoir began to appear in his mind.

Soon, he sensed that all of Ink King's dozens of tentacles were connected to a mass of things below the dam through some kind of black blood vessels.

The thing was beating, like a human heart, which was very strange. Gu Changhe opened his eyes instantly, and said with a solemn expression, "That thing is under the dam."

Xuanjia said in a deep voice, "Suppress them first."

Gu Changhe did not object. Although the two had different positions, they had the same goal at the moment.

If the Ink King continues its rampage, the Qing Shi Reservoir and the surrounding water system will be polluted.

Gu Changhe raised his hands and shouted, "Heavy Water Domain, full activation!"

boom!

The entire reservoir suddenly sank, and tens of thousands of tons of water became incredibly heavy at that moment.

The speed at which the Ink King swung his tentacles suddenly decreased.

Even his massive body was pressed down and sank underwater, and the veins on Gu Changhe's forehead bulged.

Even with his early-stage fourth-tier cultivation level, suppressing a late-stage fourth-tier sea beast was still extremely difficult.

The sea chart patterns on the back of the Xuanjia armor lit up simultaneously, and the water suppression area covered the reservoir.

The previously chaotic undercurrents quickly subsided, and the Heavy Water Domain took charge of suppressing the Ink King.

The water control department is responsible for stabilizing the water flow, marking the first overlap between these two capabilities.

The entire Qingshi Reservoir suddenly became like a mirror.

Everyone on the shore was stunned. The raging waves disappeared, and dozens of tentacles were left suspended in mid-air.

Gu Changhe growled, "Now!"

Xuanjia roared, "Second move, charge!"

Hundreds of fish demons charged forward simultaneously, their water arrows, ice spikes, venom, and torrents of demonic power converging and blasting towards the cracks in the bone armor on the Ink King's head.

Boom!

Large sections of bone armor shattered.

The Ink King let out a mournful howl, his black blood staining a large area of ​​the lake red, but before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief...

Suddenly, numerous fine black lines grew from the torn flesh of the Ink King.

The thin thread reconnected the egg-shaped structures below the dam.

An even stronger life force surged back into the Ink King's body.

Its head wound began to heal rapidly.

Gu Changhe said with a grim expression, "As expected, he can't be killed."

Ignoring the recovering Ink King, Xuanjia turned to the third water demon: "Find what's below."

The snake-eel water monsters immediately dispersed, clinging to the bottom of the reservoir, avoiding the tentacles, and swimming towards the dam from different directions.

A moment later, a long eel transmitted back to the screen through the blue lotus mark.

Below the dam.

A black egg sac, over 100 meters in diameter, is deeply embedded in the rock strata.

The surface of the egg sac is covered with blood vessels, and the Ink King's body is connected to the egg sac through those blood vessels.

Even more bizarrely...

The outer wall of the egg sac was covered with a large number of marine mammal bones and human remains.

A system notification sounded in Chu Zhou's mind.

"Ding, unusual deep-sea life detected."

Name: Deep-sea Mother Nest Eggs

"Expected incubation level: early stage of Tier 5".

Current status: Gathering energy through parasitic life forms.

In the center of Heilong Lake.

Chu Zhou's expression darkened. It was indeed at the fifth level, but it had not yet fully hatched.

This was both a danger and an opportunity for him.

An unhatched fifth-order life follicle contains evolutionary energy that far exceeds that of an ordinary fourth-order crystal core.

Just as Chu Zhou was about to give the order.

Zilian suddenly felt a sharp pain.

A crack appeared on the surface of the ovum.

A chilling mental fluctuation spread along the water veins.

"Blood food, delicious, devour..."

Chu Zhou immediately ordered: "Xuanjia, cut off the underground river, and all water demons must retreat from the dam area."

Without any hesitation, Xuanjia declared, "First step: Seal the River!"

Dozens of turtle and tortoise water demons quickly retreated and blocked the entrance to the underground river between Qingshi Reservoir and Heilong Mountain again.

The lotus seed on the back of the black armor fell off.

The blue lotus seeds were planted at the bottom of the reservoir, and as soon as their roots touched the silt, they quickly spread outwards.

A gigantic cyan lotus phantom bloomed instantly underwater, its cyan light illuminating everything in its path.

The gray-black spiritual mist quickly dissipated, and the black blood vessels in the eyes of the polluted Zhenhai Navy water demon instantly disappeared.

Gu Changhe stared at the illusory image of the blue lotus emerging from the water, his heart trembling: "The Lord of the Blue Lotus."

He did not see Chu Zhou's true form, but he could clearly sense that a spiritual power far exceeding the fourth rank had descended upon the Qing Shi Reservoir with the help of the lotus seed.

The ovum sac seemed to sense the danger as well.

The surface cracks widened rapidly, and a muffled heartbeat came from within.

Boom!

The entire reservoir floor shook.

Large amounts of rock broke off from the dam, and Chu Zhou's icy voice echoed along the watercourse: "Xuanjia, break the egg."

The Xuanjia armored vehicle roared deafeningly, and the three divisions of the Zhenhai Navy simultaneously changed their formation.

The first part sealed off the waterways, the second part suppressed the Ink King, and the third part went straight for the egg sac.

Seeing this, Gu Changhe immediately made a decision: "Ninth Bureau Underwater Team, assist in suppressing Mo Wang."

One of the team members asked in surprise, "Captain Gu, we're helping Heilongshan?"

Gu Changhe said coldly, "We are trying to save Qingshi Reservoir. Once this egg hatches, several surrounding counties will suffer."

Whether the Lord of the Azure Lotus intends to designate this place as a restricted area is no longer important.

After Gu Changhe finished speaking, he once again activated the Heavy Water Domain, and the Ink King, who was suppressed by the Azure Lotus Phantom, completely lost the ability to struggle.

Xuanjia then led the third group of water demons straight to the bottom of the dam.

Within the crack of the egg sac, a giant eye covered by a transparent membrane opened instantly; it had not yet fully hatched.

Yet it already possessed the aura of a fifth-order life form.

The dozen or so second-tier water demons froze, instinctively wanting to retreat.

The massive, armored body blocked their path.

The blue lotus mark lit up.

That terrifying pressure was instantly blocked: "Suppressing Navy, follow me to destroy our nest!"

The Xuanjia suddenly accelerated, its shell rubbing against the water, producing a deep rumble.

Its enormous body, like an underwater mountain, crashed violently into the core of the egg sac.

boom!

The entire Qingshi Reservoir shook violently, and large wounds appeared on the surface of the egg sacs, from which black blood gushed out.

For the first time, fear appeared in that eye that was not yet fully open.
