Please be my partner.

Although the invaders are generally powerful, they are not invincible.

After paying a terrible price, most of the invaders were killed. Of course, less than ten people actually died, and the others left this world in some way.

And after this news broke out, those invaders who had not fallen into the trap actually all pointed their spearheads at the Ocean Empire. This was completely different from what the Ocean Empire had initially expected, because in their view, the invaders would also kill each other mercilessly, and should be from different and hostile forces.

In the end, that powerful maritime empire was destroyed, and a hundred years later the world was still invaded, like an endless nightmare from which it was impossible to wake up.

After that, the emerging marine forces reached a consensus that whenever invaders came, they should not be hostile, and should even take the initiative to make friends and provide help, so that they could survive better.

This consensus initially made many maritime forces scoff, but as the secret realm was opened again and again, like natural selection, this consensus has now been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The Naga tribe was unwilling to "cooperate" with Meren at first. Firstly, it was because they hated him, and secondly, they felt that Meren was alone and his strength did not seem very strong.

After Meren showed his "fist as big as a casserole", the Naga tribe naturally became timid and began to "cooperate" obediently.

Even if there were still some people who didn't understand the situation, they were suppressed by the Naga leader.

Through communication with the Naga leader, Meren gradually understood the current situation of this secret realm.

Through a long period of evolution, various races have divided the entire ocean world into nineteen sea areas. Those who can occupy one sea area are already considered the dominant race, and the strongest force in this ocean is an ocean kingdom that occupies five sea areas.

The strongest being in the Ocean Kingdom is a legendary giant black-armored turtle.

Because the strong men of the Golden Academy locked the secret space through the power of rules, the legendary peak is already the upper limit of this world, so there is no need to worry about a saint suddenly popping out.

Chapter 299: Fighting and Meeting

"Really? Are we unable to contact those legendary Nagas who are out?"

Mellen said casually while counting the resource warehouse of Whirlpool Island.

The Naga leader followed behind Melen and said respectfully but somewhat helplessly, "Yes, sir, I have sent a message to recall those legendary Nagas stationed outside, but I didn't receive a reply. When I sent a message again, I found that they had disappeared."

"Is that so..." Melen chuckled and said, "In that case, forget it."

After hearing Meren's words, the Naga leader's expression remained unchanged, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Meren was well aware of Naga's thoughts, but he didn't take it seriously.

The information Meren had previously obtained from Zagumon was that there were seven legends among the Naga tribe in the entire Whirlpool Island. It was not that the latter lied, but that Zagumon only knew this much.

You know, after Melen entered the Whirlpool Island, he saw eight legendary Nagas.

The seven legends mentioned by Zagumon actually only include the Naga leader, the three legends including Shaka that Meren first met when he entered the Whirlpool Island, and the three legends guarding the rare resource points in the outside world.

The four legends following the Naga leader belong to the hidden power of the Naga tribe, and only the top leaders know of their existence.

After confirming the "cooperation" relationship, Melen asked the Naga leader to recall the three Naga legends who were still outside, but he received the news of their defection.

But this is understandable. After all, the principle that those who are not of our race must have different hearts is also applicable to the Naga people. Now due to Melen's strength, the Naga people have to surrender, but it does not mean that they are sincere.

Moreover, in past history, there are many examples of people who worked hard for the incoming human invaders, but after being used, their entire tribe was harvested and turned into extraordinary materials.

Even though Meren seems easy to talk to and has not massacred the Naga people on a large scale so far, the Naga leader has to be on guard.

The best option at the moment is to let the three legendary Nagas who are still outside take their tribesmen to hide and avoid this period of time.

Thinking of this, the Naga leader sighed silently. Looking from the front, you can see that there is a ball of blood-colored mist between her eyebrows. It is the blood-colored power lingering in her head. The Naga leader can feel that once this ball of blood-colored energy explodes, she will surely die.

This is the method that Meren uses to restrain them. All the legendary Nagas have been restricted by Xiao Honglian. Although it is simple and crude, it is practical.

Of course, Melen also made a promise that as long as the Naga tribe was obedient and worked hard for him during this period, he would lift the ban when he left.

Of course, Meren would not go back on his word, and he didn't care whether the Naga believed it or not.

In fact, by this time, Melen had already collected a lot of benefits from the Naga tribe, and also obtained information about other sea areas, so he was almost ready to leave.

There is nothing that Melen wants in the Bichao Sea. In this case, Melen only needs to give orders to continue collecting resources, and then return when he is about to leave the secret realm.

It doesn't matter even if he encounters an unexpected situation and cannot return. With the accumulation of the Naga tribe over the years, Melen has already made a lot of money, although this is definitely not all the wealth of the Naga tribe.

As for the means by which the Little Red Lotus remains in the body of the legendary Naga, as long as Melen does not actively detonate it, it will naturally dissipate in three to five years.

Immediately, Meren issued a series of orders to the Naga leader, and then left without hesitation in the latter's complicated and inexplicable eyes.

Watching the terrifying human leave the Whirlpool Island, the Nagas all breathed a sigh of relief, and many even celebrated on the spot.

The only exception was Zagumon, who had communicated with Melen. Although he already knew that even without the information he provided, the Naga tribe would still not be Melen's opponent and the current situation would not change at all, he still felt ashamed.

At this moment, this talented Naga boy understood that only strength is the most powerful weapon to protect his people!

Three hundred years in the east, three hundred years in the west, don’t bully the poor Naga!

At this moment, an extraordinary aura of high spirits flashed from Zagumon's body, which made the eyes of a Naga girl who was secretly observing him not far away flash with three parts of heartbeat, three parts of love, three parts of infatuation, and one part of incredible surprise.

A legend about Naga is about to be staged in this secret place.

…………

While Melen was demonstrating the correct way to open the secret realm, the other students who entered also had their own experiences.

The place where Xinke landed was also an island.

Well, rather than saying it is an island, it is more like a reef temporarily exposed on the sea surface. As the sea level rises, it may be submerged at any time.

There are no resources on the reef island, so naturally there are no marine communities stationed there.

Xin Ke was confused for a long time when he saw the barren start in front of him.

Next, Xinko wandered around in the vast ocean, collecting resources from the ocean with the help of the Eye of Delusion.

Fortunately, although he, the second generation, usually lives a low-key life, he actually has everything in his storage bag. The aircraft he used when he went to pick up Mellen is multi-purpose. It can fly into the sky and into the sea, and it is also equipped with a strong firepower system.

Xinke even has more professional scanning, collection, extraction and other equipment, which he specially prepared for adventures.

Xinko's luck was not good. He wandered in the sea for three days before he encountered a strong and intelligent marine life and collected the intelligence information he wanted.

When Xinke learned that the sea area where he was located belonged to a powerful ocean kingdom, he naturally did not think of the correct way to explore the secret realm like Mellen did, which was to find the local natives and rob them directly... ahem, directly "cooperate". Instead, he relied on his own strength to slowly collect resources and gather more intelligence.

Soon, he received a piece of information that left him stunned.

Xinko looked at the burly murloc in front of him. Oh, no, according to the latter, it was a deep-sea fish monster, not the same species as those weak murlocs who were only fit to be slaves.

Xin Ke asked again, somewhat uncertainly, "Are you saying that the Ocean Kingdom has sent out a message inviting outsiders like us to participate in a duel. The winner will receive half of the Ocean Kingdom's wealth. Even if we are just participants, we will receive generous rewards?"

The deep-sea fish monster trembled a little and said, "Yes, yes, sir, this is absolutely true. This news was released under the instructions of the top leaders of the Ocean Kingdom. It should have spread throughout the Ocean Kingdom and started to spread to other sea areas."

The deep-sea fish monster glanced at Xinke cautiously and added, "The Ocean Kingdom's leaders have said they have no intention of becoming enemies with outsiders. They set up this duel to peacefully determine the ownership of resources."

"interesting!"

Xinke smiled. He didn't know whether the Ocean Kingdom was trying to gather all the students of the Golden Academy and capture them all in one fell swoop, or whether they had some other agenda. However, it would be a good idea to join in the fun.

With this in mind, Xinko headed towards the sea where the Ocean Kingdom was holding the competition.

At the same time, many students who received the news were either interested or disdainful, and all took different actions.

The Kuroshio Sea is the core sea area of the Ocean Kingdom, where many of the main ethnic groups of the Ocean Kingdom live.

A fighting arena was actually set up on a large island, making it look quite grand.

When Xin Ke arrived and saw this scene, he was also amazed.

During the observation process, Xinke also met many students from the Golden Academy. Their tracks were occasionally noticed by the Ocean Kingdom, but they were not attacked. Instead, they were treated politely.

After communicating with others, Xinke found that although no one had landed on the island yet, many people were excited and were ready to wait and see the situation, while some left directly to collect resources in other waters.

After communicating with others, Xinke collected a lot of information and was also ready to leave.

After all, the most important thing in a fight is one's own strength. Xin Ke knows very well his own strength. Even if he participates in the fight, he will not get any good results in the end. Instead of doing that, it is better not to waste time from the beginning.

But just as Xin Ke was about to leave, he received an important message from a student he knew...

The person who stood with him before entering the secret realm also came to the Kuroshio Sea.

Xinke understood the meaning of this sentence instantly, and Melen also came.

Although Melen has gained a certain reputation in the Sequence Battlefield now, because he is too low-key in his daily life, only a very few people can really recognize him. It was also because Melen and Xinko stood together at the beginning that others had some impression of him.

After thanking the classmate, Xinke immediately rushed to the area where Mellen had appeared. After spending a day searching, he finally reunited with his teammates.

Melen looked at Xin Ke who came to him and smiled in surprise: "It's amazing that you found me."

Xin Ke said with a grin: "That's right, don't you see who I am!"

Now that the reunion is complete, the next natural thing is to exchange experiences during this period and the intelligence collected.

When Melen casually said that during this period he had "cooperated" with three powerful marine tribes, including the Naga, and asked them to help collect resources, Xinko's eyes almost popped out with envy.

In comparison, Xinke's experience in the past few days can be summed up in two sentences.

Xin Ke said enviously: "Meren, you have become stronger again. With your strength, you can really do whatever you want."

At this point, Xinke's eyes lit up and he asked, "Meren, do you have any ideas about the duel organized by the Ocean Kingdom? If it were you, you might be able to win the final victory and win half of the wealth promised by the Ocean Kingdom."

Mellen thought for a moment and said, "Let's forget it. Although I feel like the Ocean Kingdom might be serious and hasn't set any traps, it's still a waste of time. The resources in the secret realm are indeed abundant, but there are more important things for us."

Mellen smiled slightly and said, "Tell me, have you gathered any special information, especially about super-sized treasures?"

Xinke is also well-known in the Golden Academy. After all, with the bonus of his identity and background, others are willing to make friends with him, and naturally they have exchanged a lot of useful information.

Facing Mellen's question, Xinke's expression became more serious and he said, "This is true!"

Upon hearing this, Melen immediately became interested and pretended to listen.

Xin Ke said, "This news is no longer a secret in the Ocean Kingdom, but it hasn't spread to all the sea areas yet."

"You should also know that there was a powerful ocean empire that unified the entire secret realm and set a trap to kill the students of the Golden Academy, right?"

Mellen nodded.

Xin Ke continued, "That incident caused quite a stir at the time. The Ocean Empire was met with a united front from all the students. Of course, during that secret realm opening, the remaining students weren't very strong, so they didn't actually cause too much trouble for the Ocean Empire. But this was just the beginning!"

"When that group of students returned and broke the news, the entire Golden Academy was in an uproar. Some students even immediately demanded that the academy reopen the secret realm, but the academy ultimately refused."

"Although this matter was suppressed at the time, the students' anger did not subside. When the secret ocean realm was reopened ten years later, this anger immediately erupted."

"Besides the seniors who were tricked ten years ago and managed to escape and stay on campus, there are also top students from the new generation who have entered the Secret Ocean Realm. It's said that among that group of entrants, there are four in the top 100 in sequence number, two top seeds, and as many as twenty or thirty other people with sequence numbers. This is because the seniors who only stayed on campus have had their sequence numbers automatically stripped away."

"The academy naturally understands the students' thoughts, but as long as everything is done according to the rules, the academy will not intervene."

"According to a senior who didn't enter the Ocean Secret Realm at the time, by the tenth day of its opening, the bright moon above the academy, representing the Ocean Secret Realm, had already been dyed blood red."

"The Ocean Empire was destroyed, and even the entire ocean secret realm's marine species were mostly wiped out by those killer seniors. Many sea areas were completely cleared out."

When he heard this, Melen also felt a little emotional.

He could actually understand a little bit about the desire of the natives in the secret ocean to resist. He had read many novels and picture books with similar plots in his previous life.

However, if one wants to successfully resist like the protagonists in novels, the probability is normally very low. The entire ocean secret realm is locked down by the strong men of the Golden Academy at the rule level. It is impossible for a saint to be born, so naturally there is no capital for resistance.

Melen looked at Xinko again, waiting for the latter's next words. After all, he had said so much about the Ocean Empire, it couldn't be useless.

Chapter 300 Gray Tide Sea

"Gray Tide Sea!" Xin Ke said with emphasis.

"Gray Tide Sea?" Mellen first said it doubtfully, then realized: "You mean, the Gray Tide Sea is the original..."

Xin Ke nodded affirmatively and said, "Indeed, the Gray Tide Sea was the core of the Ocean Empire and its main battlefield. During the revenge war, over 70% of the power of the entire Ocean Secret Realm was concentrated there. After the war, the entire Ocean Empire was nearly annihilated."

"Death, resentment, hatred... It can be said that the heyday of the Secret Ocean Realm was buried there!"

"Since then, the Gray Tide Sea has become a dangerous place, and no marine species can survive there."

"The Secret Ocean Realm already has rules for accelerating gestation and inducing mutations. Plus, the passage of time is ten times faster. These were originally intended to accommodate the various resources within the Secret Ocean Realm. However, it seems that precisely because of this mechanism, something extraordinary has been born in the Gray Tide Sea. It's likely that this exceptional treasure!"

"Is that so?" Mellen frowned, lost in thought: "If that's the case, then is the super-sized treasure contained within also evil?"

Evil treasures are usually powerful and have strange effects, but on the other hand, their side effects are often very troublesome. Not to mention using them, just holding them is a very dangerous thing.

Seeing this, Xin Ke thought for a moment and added, "Although the Gray Tide Sea is full of terrifying and bizarre creatures, the super-sized treasures it breeds may not be the same."

"Oh?" Mellen asked doubtfully, "How do you say that?"

Xin Ke explained, "Although the academy always prioritizes rules, it's not incapable of adapting. If the extraordinary treasure bred in the ocean secret realm is truly extremely evil and beyond our control, the academy will absolutely terminate the opening of this secret realm."

"And don't forget Johnny!"

Mellen asked: "What does this have to do with him?"

Xin Ke said, "I just suddenly thought of this. The destruction of the Ocean Empire in the Secret Ocean Realm occurred almost a thousand years ago. That was also the time when a very famous elder in Johnny's family was studying at the Golden Academy. And that elder was the seed of the academy at that time."

"Perhaps, Johnny's elder was one of the participants in the battle that destroyed the Ocean Empire and discovered something at the time, which led to Johnny's strange behavior today."
