Chapter 260 Defeating Ace, Deepening into the Sea

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and it seems Ace made a mistake this time.

With a deafening roar, in addition to the self-destructing warship being blown to smithereens, towering waves were also stirred up in the strange sea area.

"what!"

Sitting on Landon's back, he coldly watched Ace fall into the sea and be swept into the sky by the giant waves.

She calmly pulled out the photon gun she had taken from the rebels and swiftly finished him off with a shot.

"Pfft..."

Crimson blooms against the azure sky. Ace, who has fallen into the sea once again, stares wide-eyed in disbelief. He doesn't want to admit that he has still died at Liang He's hands.

The same scene, the same situation, but good fortune no longer comes.

"Boom..."

The unsightly splashes of water bloomed before Liang He's eyes. She didn't care about Ace's thoughts before his death; instead, she was more concerned about the strange movements on the seabed.

"Liang He!"

Just as Liang He was hesitating whether to notify Golin and the others and go down to check on things herself, she suddenly heard someone calling her from below.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Rick.

"Landon, get out of here."

After a long battle, Liang He was worried that Azure Falcon was too exhausted. Since Rick had come, she might as well ask about the situation and take a rest.

Rick was piloting a small submarine, and he immediately went up to Liang He and Landon after they successfully landed.

"How are you all? I just heard the sound of a warship exploding, I was almost scared to death!"

Faced with Rick's concern, Liang He simply shook her head gently, indicating that they were alright.

At the same time, she felt a sudden chill on her wrist. She glanced at it subconsciously but did not make a sound.

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."

Rick, who seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief, is now starting to worry about the situation with Lyra and Oko.

"This sea area is really too strange. I wonder if they found the statues that the rebels put there?"

statue?

"What statue?"

Liang He asked the question subconsciously, and Rick paused for a moment, then clapped his hands as if he suddenly understood.

“I forgot, you were just fighting the rebels, you didn’t know that.”

Rick told Liang He everything that Gorin had learned from Oko.

"That commotion just now was probably caused by Leila and the others."

If it weren't for the sudden, towering wave that blew Ace into the air, he might have actually escaped by now.

Thinking of Leila and the others, Liang He was also a little worried. She wondered how they were doing now.

"Since you have a submarine, why don't we go down and look for them?"

Having come all this way, Liang He was truly reluctant to leave.

"Is this...isn't this bad?"

Rick hesitated, unsure whether he agreed or disagreed.

"How about I have Landon take you back, and I'll go down myself?"

Anyway, what Liang He needs is a submarine that can dive into strange seas, so whether Rick is there or not doesn't matter much.

"How can that be done?!"

This proposal was rejected by Rick immediately.

Fearing that Liang He would abandon him, Li Ke stopped hesitating and readily agreed to her suggestion.

"Then...then let's both go down and take a look."

"it is good."

Since a small submarine certainly couldn't fit two people and an eagle, Landon was naturally sent back to notify Goring and the others to provide backup.

"Wow..."

Landon didn't want to leave; he wanted to stay and protect Lianghe.

However, he was not a marine-type orc, and without the protection of a submarine, he was unable to venture deep into the sea.

"Alright, you did a great job today. Go back and get some rest. I'll come back to you guys as soon as I've finished dealing with things here." Liang He patiently coaxed Landon, flattering him and praising him. Under this barrage of sweet words, Landon could only leave reluctantly.

After he disappeared into the sky above the strange sea, Liang He and Rick went to the bottom of the strange sea together.

"Liang He, we don't have an orca to guide us, how are we going to find people?"

Oko, Lyra, and the others were able to reach the location of the statue with the help of Grandma Orca.

But they only have two people and a small submarine, which is completely useless!

"Don't worry about it. Once we're at the bottom of the sea, shut down the submarine's systems and let it move around freely."

Liang He had already thought about this.

Since Lyra mentioned that some kind of creature was pushing the submarine deeper into the ocean, she might as well take advantage of that and save herself the trouble.

"Huh? Is this reliable?"

Rick was a little suspicious that Liang He was joking with him.

This idea doesn't sound very plausible at all.

"I'm here, don't worry."

However, just in case, Liang He urged Li Ke to put on his diving equipment.

After the small submarine's control system was temporarily shut down, she soon felt a mysterious force propelling the submarine.

"Here they come."

Liang He gently reminded Rick, then stared intently ahead.

Only when he saw the faint light that Leila and the others had mentioned before did a faint smile appear on his lips.

She was right.

"Open the system. If this power is not heading towards the light, we will take control ourselves."

"it is good."

At this moment, Rick had no choice but to obey Liang He's orders.

He stared intently ahead, and as the light grew brighter, he finally pointed ahead with delight.

"Liang He, it's an orca! We've found it!"

Since Grandma Orca is here, it means that Oko and the others must be here too!

"I saw it, calm down."

Compared to Rick's excitement, Liang He was clearly more composed.

She approached in the direction of the orca grandmother, but found that something was amiss.

"Strange, why does it seem like there's no one inside the submarine?"

Rick also noticed the problem.

Ten submarines, it seems everyone is gone except for Grandma Orca.

"Did they all go to investigate what's under the statue?"

"Impossible. Even if it were a reconnaissance mission, they wouldn't leave no one behind."

Liang He, who rejected Rick's idea without hesitation, approached the orca grandmother with a frown and found that her condition was also very strange.

"What's wrong with it?"

The orca grandmother, who was towing ten submarines, was either asleep or unconscious; her eyes were tightly closed, and she remained motionless.

Even when Rick maneuvered the submarine to greet it, it didn't react at all.

"I'll go down and take a look."

Liang He, who was somewhat worried, couldn't sit still any longer. She prepared to leave the submarine and explore the surroundings herself.

Kelik, however, tried his best to stop her, telling her not to act impulsively.

"Shall we wait a little longer? Maybe Layla and the others will come out soon."

Now it's just him and Liang He left, and Grandma Orca's fate is unknown. He's worried that something might happen.

"No, the commotion on the sea just now might have been caused by the statue. This means there's something even more dangerous beneath it."

Liang He's tone grew increasingly urgent, as if she had lost her usual composure and rationality.

Seeing this, Rick seemed unable to object any further, and could only sigh deeply before reluctantly agreeing to Liang He's suggestion.

"...Okay! I'll go with you to find them!"
