The thirteen summoned individuals gathered at the Dragon Power Base, organizing strategies to handle unforeseen situations and gathering after teleportation.
The countdown gradually reached the final half hour.
Lu Heng made a final reminder: "Before teleportation, I'll say one last thing: the Sea Demon Clan is not absolutely friendly. This species has lived underwater for many years, with minimal contact with land-based species, so conflicts may occur when we encounter them.
"Based on the Sea Demon Clan information I obtained, the main quest is likely related to the Sea Demon Clan. However, if conflict occurs, ensuring your personal safety is the top priority."
The Sea Demon Clan in memory is also a species invaded by the Abyss, but not every species is friendly.
In fact, most species maintain vigilance when encountering alien species.
Jiang Shaoran raised her hand and asked: "Leader, is there a possibility that the Sea Demon Clan will be hostile to us?"
Lu Heng thought for a moment and replied, "We cannot rule out this possibility. Indeed, every species from the Otherworld has its own stance, whether hostile to humans or not, entirely depends on the choices made when contact happens.
"Once, I was summoned to the Black Iron Dwarf World, and after teleportation, I was chased by Black Iron Dwarfs, yet the main quest required us to obtain their forgiveness.
"Thus, the relationship we have with the Sea Demon Clan entirely depends on our actions.
"Among the many known intelligent species, the Sea Demon Clan is relatively fierce.
"So, when you encounter the Sea Demons, it's best to consider them as intelligent wild beasts and remain vigilant to protect yourselves.
"As for whether our relationship with the Sea Demon Clan is hostile or allied, I believe the main quest will tell us the answer."
In nature, the vast majority of wild animals do not actively attack humans; most of those who do so act out of self-preservation.
The most typical example is venomous snakes. Venomous snakes do not see humans as prey; they typically attempt to flee when confronted by humans, yet humans are frequently bitten, mostly because the snake is defending itself.
Liu Haiyang listened carefully, pondered seriously, raised his hand, and asked: "Has the Sea Demon Clan seen humans before? If they've seen humans, will encounters be better?"
Lu Heng considered seriously and replied, "I think the Sea Demon Clan most likely has never seen humans because you are the strongest superpower soldiers in the Ocean system among humans.
"This should be the first time humans are being summoned into the Sea Demon World, so this is the first contact between two civilizations, directly impacting subsequent diplomatic relations."
After saying this, Lu Heng thought for a moment and added: "However, the Sea Demon Clan should know what Summoners are, so when encountering Sea Demons, indicating that you are a Summoner might help. Of course, there may be suspicions of being Abyss Summoners, so be careful when contacting the Sea Demons."
After exploring the traits of the Sea Demon Clan, the summoning countdown entered its final stage.
Everyone exchanged a glance, and Jian Qing, who had rushed back from the Andaman Sea, gave a final reminder to her Special Forces team members: "Check your weapons and equipment one last time, prepare for teleportation."
The countdown reached the final second.
Everyone closed their eyes to prevent the dazzling light from the teleportation from harming their retinas.
After closing their eyes, a strong white light appeared before them, followed by an endless darkness.
Teleportation officially began, and teleportation information appeared before them.
[Teleport to Abyss World: Dragon Sleep World Tidal Sea]
[World Introduction: In the deepest parts of the Tidal Sea, there exists an ancient and mysterious civilization—the Tidal Sea Demons. This peculiar species possesses an upper body resembling primates, while their lower body is robust and powerful, akin to sea serpents or ribbonfish. The Sea Demon Clan also has special breathing gills and a pair of sensitive feelers capable of perceiving changes in surrounding water flow and bio-electrical fields, allowing them to navigate freely even in the dark ocean depths.]
[Event: The ongoing dumping of molten lava embers by the Black Iron Dwarf Kingdom from Molten Crown into the Tidal Sea has raised the sea temperature continuously, thoroughly enraging the Sea Demon Clan. Coupled with Abyss pollution, the Tidal Sea's environment is deteriorating, leading to increasing conflicts between the Sea Demon Clan and the Black Iron Kingdom as they try to save the ocean environment.]
[Danger Level: Level 7]
[Battlefield Mode: Multi-faction Warfare Mode]
[1, Protect Black Iron Dwarf survivors on the sunk Fry ship, preventing them from being killed by hostile factions.]
[2, Establish diplomatic relations with the Sea Demon Clan.]
[3, Survive for 30 days in the Dragon Sleep World.]
[1, Eliminate 20 Abyss Summoners.]
[2, Search for the Abyss Pollution Source and eradicate the source.]
[3, Assist in reconciling the Black Iron Dwarfs and the Sea Demon Clan, and investigate the cause of the environmental degradation of the Tidal Sea.]
[Teleportation complete, loading Dragon Sleep World common language.]
After reading the task information, Lu Heng couldn't help but sigh. As initially anticipated, the danger level is indeed Level 7.
A danger level of Level 7 at the Abyss Battlefield is not being encountered for the first time; the Elf World was Level 7 back then.
However, the final Bloodline Clan Demon King in the Elf World was killed by the self-detonation of the Great Arcanist Augustus.
That is to say, the danger level in the Elf World was Level 7, but the Elves were the main force against the Abyss Demons.
This time being summoned to the Sea Demon World may not be as simple as in the Elf World.
