CHAPTER 448: CHAPTER 437 SEA RACE APPEARS

On a beach with the azure sea and blue sky, dozens of weapons were brightly stuck in the sand, reflecting a glaring light under the sunlight.

And in a coconut grove about ten meters away, a dozen figures hid behind it, as Emperor Pu said to Lin Yi with some doubts:

"Will this really work?"

Using weapons to attract the Sea Race was something they had heard of for the first time.

It was like being in a game, where someone asks you to use a bunch of equipment to attract an NPC’s attention; subconsciously, it just seems quite odd.

King Caesar, who was originally on the side, wanted to mock this plan, but Satan J spoke first:

"Because of their enormous numbers, the Sea Race has a much greater demand for equipment than other races, especially weapons."

"If there really were a Sea Race here, they definitely wouldn’t be indifferent to these pieces of equipment. I should have thought of this earlier."

Lin Yi looked at Satan J in surprise, not expecting him to know this.

In truth, if the two of them weren’t adversaries, Lin Yi was quite curious to find out what Satan J had gone through to suddenly rise to prominence after Lin Yi’s rebirth.

It should be known that Lin Yi’s current achievements are not only because of his rebirth but also due to the ’cheating’ function of ’perspective’; without either of these, Lin Yi might not have reached his current height.

And what on earth did Satan J rely on to grow to his current level?

Just at that moment:

Switch weapons

Lin Yi put away the Purple Thunder, and the Radiant Treasure Pearl appeared in front of him. Everyone felt puzzled as Emperor Pu shouted excitedly:

"Did you discover something?"

Lin Yi gazed at the seemingly calm sea in the distance and said:

"The real protagonist is about to appear."

In that fleeting moment, Lin Yi saw a shadow of equipment beneath the water, feeling an intuition: There really is a Sea Race here!

Satan J threw a glance at Lin Yi in surprise, but he didn’t doubt Lin Yi’s words. Instead, he silently took out his scythe and held it in his hand.

The others had no choice but to draw their weapons as well. After a few minutes, a black dot suddenly appeared on the sea surface, and King Caesar exclaimed in shock:

"Sea Race!"

Although the Fishman who popped his head up was several dozen meters away from where everyone hid, it did not affect their judgment at all.

Because the fish scales on its head that glinted in the sunlight were too obvious to ignore.

"There really is a Sea Race here!"

At this moment, someone asked:

"Even if there is a Sea Race here, what does it have to do with the disappearance of the Titan Race?"

"Weren’t we here to find the mystery behind the Titan Race’s disappearance? How did it become a search for the Sea Race instead?"

"Exactly!"

"There seems to be absolutely no connection between the two."

However, at this moment, Satan J impatiently said:

"Shut up, all of you."

At the same time, several figures emerged on the sea surface, each holding knives and swords.

A group of the Sea Race appeared, firstly looking around. After ensuring there was no danger around them, they cautiously walked ashore.

It should be explained here:

The so-called Sea Race is actually a general term for the Sear Tribe and Fishman Tribe.

Their difference lies in the appearance of the Sear Tribe, which is actually no different from ordinary people, except that every Sear Tribe member has ears standing tall like cat ears, and their bodies are covered with tiny scales.

At the same time, the Sear Tribe possesses intelligence not inferior to humans and formidable strength.

On the other hand, the Fishman Tribe is more like various sea creatures that haven’t fully evolved, retaining somewhat of their original features: for example, the Fishman Tribe typically has fish tails, octopus tentacles, fins, etc.

Plus, the Fishman Tribe’s intelligence is generally lower, with most Fishmen retaining only the most basic biological instincts and a natural tendency to follow orders.

Of course, within the Fishman Tribe, there are still a few powerful Fishmen who can stand on equal footing with the Sear Tribe.

Within the entire Sea Race system, the Sear Tribe is seen as the higher class of the Sea Race, holding over 65% of the Sea Race’s strength.

While the more numerous Fishman Tribe, their strength only occupies the remaining 35%.

In the Sea Race, the numerous but generally less intelligent Fishman Tribe often exists as the Sea Race’s military force, guarding the Sea Race’s peace.

Only when the opposite side of the group of more than ten people came ashore and left the water did Lin Yi and the others finally see the other party’s appearance clearly.

Leading them was a Sear Tribe member, walking upright, dressed in plated armor and holding a long spear:

Turkai Karachi Lv40

Guard Team Captain of the Sea Race

Bronze BOSS

Life Value: 210000/210000

The exposed skin was covered with blue scales, and from a human perspective, his facial features were quite fierce, with a protruding mouth, sunken eye sockets, and ears standing tall.

Behind him were over a dozen Fishmen dressed in simple cloth garments:

Fishman Guard Lv35

Member of the Sea Race Guard Army

Life Value: 55800/55800

...

Octopus Mage Lv35

Member of the Sea Race Guard Army

Life Value: 35800/35800

...etc.

Watching them cautiously approach the heap of weapons, King Caesar asked in a low voice:

"Should we act now?"

Lin Yi suddenly stopped them in a low voice:

"No! Wait until they’re all ashore."

"If we act now, they will definitely retreat to the sea immediately, and it would be difficult to draw them out again later."

Although the Sea Race is numerous, they are also known for being timid and cautious.

Especially when they leave the ocean, at the slightest disturbance, they would undoubtedly retreat to the sea rather than confront it.

When Lin Yi saw this group of the Sea Race appear, he already had about eighty to ninety percent confidence regarding the disappearance of the Titan Race.

Especially given a Sea Race city even possessing the Sear Tribe.

Since the Sear Tribe only makes up less than 30% of the Sea Race, not every Sea Race city would necessarily have Sear Tribe members.

And if a Sea Race city were ruled by the Sear Tribe, with their intelligence, reaching some agreement with the Titan Race isn’t entirely impossible.

This could be seen from the Titan Race’s ability to acquire a large amount of Sea Rock-made bed boards, suggesting a suspicious link.

After ensuring the ’safety’ of the area, Lin Yi and the others could clearly see that these Sea Race members seemed to be quite fond of the weapons, each picking up the blades on the ground and excitedly gesticulating.

At this moment, Lin Yi quietly said:

"Circle around, stop them from retreating to the sea, and the leading Sear Tribe member must not be killed but must be retained."

Upon Lin Yi’s words, Yamada Miki showed a disdainful expression:

"Why should we listen to you?"

But the next moment, a word from Satan J instantly silenced Yamada Miki and the others who were about to speak, as Satan J exuded a chilling aura and said:

"Do as he says."

With that, Satan J took advantage of the Sea Race being absorbed in excitement and circled around them.

Lin Yi watched Satan J’s back, filled with unease and doubt.

He wasn’t sure if he was overthinking it, but Lin Yi felt that everything Satan J did today seemed too abnormal.

Particularly his attention to this mission, far exceeding that of everyone else on-site, including Lin Yi.

Given Satan J’s status and strength, is it really this mission’s reward of a mythical level piece of equipment or a demigod artifact he cares about?

Lin Yi had a vague feeling that this matter today is probably far from being as simple as it seems.

At this point, Yuna suddenly came up to Lin Yi’s side and asked quietly:

"What’s the matter?"

Lin Yi shook his head and said:

"Nothing."

Looking at Satan J’s back, Lin Yi could only comfort himself inwardly: hopefully, it’s just him overthinking.
