Chapter 840 Sea Monster Battlefield? It’s Called the Essence of Origin Battlefield!

Huo Lang paused for a moment and gave an example.

"A Human Race Cultivator in the Celestial God Realm, surrounded by thousands upon thousands of Divinity Transformation Realm Sea Demons, will eventually run out of Divine Power completely.

"Once a Celestial God Realm Cultivator has no Divine Power left, they are no different from a cripple. How can they possibly fight against the Sea Demons? In the end, they can only die at the hands of a group of Low Level Sea Demons, leaving not even their bones behind.

"Using this shameless tactic, the Sea Demons have trapped and killed countless High-Level Human Race Cultivators. And Fairy Gu only has a Divinity Transformation Realm First Layer Cultivation. It would only take a few hundred Divinity Transformation Realm Sea Demons surrounding her to drain all of her Divine Power in a short time.

"Even if Fairy Gu has profound Law Comprehension and powerful techniques, without Divine Power, she won’t be able to use any of them. When that time comes, she still won’t be able to withstand the Sea Demons’ siege!"

After listening, Daya frowned in thought before her eyes suddenly lit up. "Doesn’t Fairy Gu still have Lord Mosquito? Lord Mosquito is Fairy Gu’s Beast Pet! He is so powerful that he even killed the Jiang Family Grand Elder. How could he possibly fail to protect Fairy Gu?"

Huo Lang patted Daya’s shoulder and sighed, his tone heavy.

"I just said it: on the battlefield, the strength of a single individual is far too insignificant.

"Even if it is Lord Mosquito, and even if he has the Clone Technique and the Twelve Ancestral Witch Gods, in the face of an army of a million Sea Demons, that bit of strength won’t even make a small splash.

"Let alone protecting Fairy Gu... if he can protect himself and make it back alive, that would already be incredibly impressive."

Daya seemed to understand, yet also seemed confused. She blinked her eyes, her face blank.

An elderly Loose Cultivator with greying hair beside them suddenly spoke up to add a comment. In just a few words, he thoroughly explained the stakes involved.

"On a real battlefield, situations where generals are sneakily killed by common foot soldiers are a dime a dozen. Not to mention soldiers being killed by other soldiers—that’s the most normal scene on the battlefield."

Daya suddenly realized the truth. "You mean that no matter how powerful Fairy Gu and Lord Mosquito are, once they’re on the battlefield, they’ll just be ordinary foot soldiers. They won’t be able to sway the tide of battle or guarantee their own survival, right?"

"That is exactly the point." The elderly cultivator nodded, paused, and then added a very crucial reason. "Furthermore, Fairy Gu and Lord Mosquito have offended the Eight Great Clans to the death. On the battlefield, they will only die even faster."

Daya was confused again and scratched her head. "The Human Race fighting the Sea Demons is about defending our home and country. How does that involve the Eight Great Clans?"

The elderly cultivator patiently explained.

"The Human Race’s City Guard Army is the main force fighting the Sea Demons, and many of the mid to high-level officers in the City Guard Army are scions of the Eight Great Clans.

"Fairy Gu and Lord Mosquito killed so many people from the Jiang Family, utterly humiliating the Eight Great Clans. The Eight Great Clans will definitely remember this grudge clearly. Do you think those officers from the Eight Great Clans will let Fairy Gu and Lord Mosquito off?"

Huo Lang also nodded with a sigh, his expression growing ever more grave.

"That’s right. Those officers from the Eight Great Clans will definitely make things difficult for Fairy Gu and Lord Mosquito.

"They will send Fairy Gu and Lord Mosquito to wherever it is most dangerous and the mortality rate is the highest, using them as cannon fodder to plug the gaps. They might even stab them in the back, using the hands of the Sea Demons to get rid of them without anyone knowing.

"In this way, it will be as difficult as ascending to the heavens for Fairy Gu and Lord Mosquito to survive on the battlefield."

After speaking, Huo Lang hesitated for a moment before his gaze suddenly became resolute.

"No, absolutely not! Fairy Gu and Lord Mosquito absolutely cannot go to the battlefield! Once they go, it’s one hundred percent certain they won’t return!"

Daya understood, and she also began to panic alongside Huo Lang. "But between Fairy Gu and Lord Mosquito, one is in the Divinity Transformation Realm and the other is in the Void Refinement Realm. If they don’t go to the battlefield, they will definitely be purged by the Law Enforcement Team."

Huo Lang didn’t answer the question. His brows furrowed tighter and tighter as his mind raced to figure out a solution.

A moment later, he gritted his teeth as if making some sort of decision. "This is the only way!"

He didn’t elaborate to Daya. Instead, he turned around and flew in the direction of Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng at a blinding Speed.

Arriving before them, Huo Lang gasped for breath, his face filled with urgency. "Fairy Gu, Lord Mosquito, listen to me!"

Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng had been preparing to leave. Hearing Huo Lang’s shout, they stopped in their tracks. Neither the human nor the mosquito spoke; they simply looked calmly at Huo Lang, waiting for him to continue.

Huo Lang flew in front of Gu Yuexi, lowering his voice with an extremely anxious tone.

"Fairy Gu, Lord Mosquito, the Sea Monster Battlefield is far too dangerous. You absolutely cannot go!

"In the past, every time Loose Cultivators were forced to go to the Sea Monster Battlefield, it was a near-death experience for them. In fact, out of ten people, if even one made it back alive, it was considered a miracle!

"Not to mention that you’ve offended the Eight Great Clans to the core, and there are many people from the Eight Great Clans in the City Guard Army.

"If you go, they will definitely purposely assign you the most dangerous missions. They might even scheme against you in the dark, using the Sea Demons’ blades to kill you!"

Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng still didn’t speak. They calmly watched Huo Lang, waiting for him to finish.

Huo Lang gulped, looked left and right, and lowered his voice to share his idea.

"You need to leave right now. While the Law Enforcement Team hasn’t completely sealed the city gates, hurry up and leave Luoping City!

"Even though you’ll never be able to return to Luoping City again and might have to wander with nowhere to settle down, it’s still better than losing your lives! Where there is life, there is hope!"

Huo Lang pleaded earnestly for a long time, practically wearing out his lips. He was terrified that Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng would insist on going to the battlefield and throw their lives away for nothing.

At this point, Chu Sheng finally offered a response. However, the content had absolutely nothing to do with Huo Lang’s persuasion; they were on completely different wavelengths.

"Hey, let me ask you: is the Origin Energy of the Sea Demons stronger than that of Human Race Cultivators at the same level?"

Huo Lang froze instantly, his brain failing to process the question for a good while.

He was dying of anxiety. Why was Lord Mosquito asking about such trivial matters? Was this a time to care about whether Origin Energy was strong or not? Their lives were on the line!

He subconsciously nodded and answered honestly.

"Yes. Sea Demons have lived in the deep sea for long periods. The Spiritual Qi they absorb is much richer than that of the Human Race, and their physical bodies are more robust.

"After countless years of evolution, at the same Realm, the Origin Energy of the Sea Demons has long left the Human Race far behind. Because of this, many Evil Cultivators prefer to hunt Sea Demons to extract their Essence Blood. It is much more cost-effective than hunting Human Race Cultivators at the same Realm."

Chu Sheng’s compound eyes instantly lit up, gleaming with excitement. He patted his front legs together, full of enthusiasm. "Then it’s worth a trip."

Huo Lang was completely dumbfounded. He stood rooted to the spot, his mouth agape, unable to react for quite a while.

What? Worth a trip? That was the Sea Monster Battlefield, a place of near-certain death! It wasn’t a trip to the vegetable market to pick out ingredients!

Why was Lord Mosquito’s reaction so entirely different from what he had expected? Had he wasted his breath talking all this time?

He suddenly began to doubt if there was a problem with his ability to communicate. Had he not made the dangers of the battlefield clear enough?

However, what Chu Sheng said next left him even more bewildered.

Chu Sheng looked at Gu Yuexi. "I originally didn’t plan on going to the Sea Monster Battlefield. But after Huo Lang’s reminder, I’ve decided to make a trip there."

Huo Lang: "???"
