Gods: Civilization Cultivation, Infinite War

Chapter 136 King of the Near Sea
As the advance troops sent to this plane by the Kingdom of Dawn.

An army group of the Glory Expeditionary Corps led by Eric had just arrived in this world less than half a month ago.

I don't have a very good understanding of the situation in this plane yet, and I'm still in the process of continuous exploration.

Judging from the information they currently have, intelligent life already has a certain ability to protect itself in front of the behemoth.

But compared with the behemoth in all aspects, it is still far behind.

Whether in terms of numbers or top-level combat power, the behemoths have an absolute advantage.

The only advantage of intelligent life is its willingness to unite and jointly open up more living space.

The behemoths never unite, nor do they deliberately target intelligent life, which is why they have been able to develop to their current level.

So far, the intelligent race has opened up three living areas that are not threatened by the behemoths.

Hundreds of millions of intelligent life forms live in these three areas.

The Hunter Association’s ten regional headquarters are located on the outskirts of these three areas.

Each of them has different responsibilities, some are to open up more living space, and some are to resist the attacks of giant beasts.

The regional headquarters that Eric came to had a rather special duty, which was to monitor the whereabouts of an extremely powerful giant beast king.

"Cooperation? How do you want to cooperate?"

After waking up, the old man did not lie on the ground all the time. Instead, he quickly arranged a meeting room for himself and Eric to eat and chat.

After being injured, a hunter needs a lot of energy to speed up his recovery process and replenish his condition.

At this moment, the old man was eating heartily while communicating with Eric.

When he heard Eric's proposal for cooperation, he did not refuse, but only asked about the specific content of the cooperation.

"It's simple. We don't fully understand the situation in this world. In this regard, I hope to gain your support and provide us with relevant intelligence.

Also, the army I lead is being attacked by countless giant beasts somewhere hundreds of kilometers away. I hope you can send enough men to support them."

Eric did not eat as much as the other party, and the previous battle was not a big drain on him.

After just a casual taste of the unknown liquid in front of him, Eric put down the wine glass in his hand and told the real purpose of his trip.

It would be too inefficient for them to rely solely on themselves to slowly explore intelligence.

As long as we can gain the support of these indigenous people, the corresponding intelligence gathering work will surely be completed quickly.

Currently, there is only one foreign civilization in this plane, the Kingdom of Dawn. In this case, the benefits of seizing the initiative are very obvious.

"Asking us to provide intelligence is no problem. As long as it doesn't involve certain confidential information, we can provide you with the corresponding information.

With the strength you've shown, do you still need our support?"

The old man was a little puzzled. With the strength shown by Eric, he could suppress the city by himself.

Even if they were willing to provide support, what help could they bring to the army he led?

"As I said, we don't fully understand the situation in this world, and we don't want to damage the ecological environment of this world.

Therefore, when faced with attacks from those giant beasts, we prioritized defense, which may be one of the reasons they dared to keep attacking us."

Hearing this, the old man fell silent.

From the moment Eric appeared, he felt an obvious aura from the other party, which was the ease of being a strong man.

Not only when facing hunters like them, but even powerful species like behemoths are considered to be creatures that need protection?
“I don’t know how you got here from hundreds of kilometers away, but we simply don’t have the ability to cross hundreds of kilometers.

After all, this world is still a paradise for giant beasts. Apart from the safe areas that we have spent a long time to open up, giant beasts can be said to be everywhere.

They have a strong sense of territory and will never allow us to pass through their territory at will.

Even hunters with three stars or above need sufficient intelligence to cross hundreds of kilometers at a time.

Furthermore, our city is carrying out a very important mission, and we cannot abandon it and travel hundreds of kilometers to provide you with support."

The old man finally shook his head and refused to cooperate in providing support.

Eric smiled, not feeling annoyed by being rejected, and continued, “I said, this is a cooperation between the two parties.

Of course, you won’t just have to pay, we will also provide corresponding feedback.

Don't worry about how to reach the destination hundreds of kilometers away. I have plenty of ways to safely deliver the support team to the destination.

As for the mission you mentioned, I also know a little bit about it, as long as you are willing to cooperate.

I will personally take action to deal with the sleeping giant beast king, what do you think?"

"How do you know this information?"

When the old man heard this, he was suddenly shocked. This was one of the secrets that few of the top leaders of the Hunter Association knew.

The other party just said that he didn't know the situation in this world, so how could he have obtained such secret information?
"Don't worry about that. You just need to answer me whether you agree to cooperate this time."

With the support of the Sky City's life detection technology, they had already mastered some of the relevant intelligence about this world and specially marked the key locations.

And near this city, there is a sleeping giant beast king.

According to the Sky City, the life aura of the giant beast king is far superior to that of a ninth-order transcendent, but it has not yet reached the level of a legendary transcendent.

"If you can really deal with the King of the Sea, then there will be no problem for us to provide support.

But the King of the Near Sea is one of the most powerful beasts closest to forbidden life. Do you really have the strength to defeat him?"

According to the sayings within this world, those giant beasts that are comparable to legendary extraordinary beings are called forbidden lives.

As for the special giant beast like the King of the Near Sea, which is comparable to a transcendent who has embarked on the road to legend, it belongs to the king of giant beasts.

The Hunter Association gave a corresponding title to each giant beast king they knew about.

The old man was somewhat skeptical about Eric's strength, even though he had just been beaten by him.

But judging from the strength Eric showed, he has not yet reached the level of the King of Beasts, unless he has hidden most of his strength.

"I'll find out if I have the ability once I go there. Anyway, I can't possibly go and die on my own initiative, right?"

"That's true." The old man nodded. If he didn't have that kind of strength, he would naturally retreat when he got near the King of the Sea.

"In that case, let's set off immediately and head to the area where the King of the Sea is."

After a satisfying burp, the old man left the city with Eric without taking any followers. The two of them headed straight for the distance.

During the flight, the old man looked at Eric in surprise.

The wings behind him came from the bloodline power of some wild beast that was extremely good at flying. With his current bloodline concentration, his speed was not much different from that wild beast.

But Eric was still able to follow him effortlessly, in such a relaxed state, the old man had no doubt that the other party could burst out at an even faster speed.

Before, I always took the initiative to attack, and I couldn’t tell how fast the opponent was.

But judging from the current situation, the other party will only have more comprehensive means than himself, a hunter who has integrated the blood of seven kinds of giant beasts.

"Here we are."

In less than a minute, the two of them could already see the existence of a large area of ​​sea.

The old man's expression was serious at the moment. He went straight down. After reaching the ground, he even folded the wings behind him.

“This is near the King of the Sea. Even in his slumber, the King of Behemoths’ might still permeates the surrounding area.

There is no trace of any giant beast here, because they are instinctively afraid of this pressure and dare not approach.

It is best for us not to publicize this, lest we disturb the slumber of the Sea King and cause horrific consequences."

As he spoke, the old man had completely restrained the aura he exuded and looked like an ordinary old man.

"Don't worry, since I said I would deal with this so-called King of the Near Sea, I will naturally have the corresponding confidence."

Eric, however, remained calm as he quickly rushed towards the place where the King of the Sea was sleeping.

Seeing this, the old man could only hurry to catch up. At this moment, he only hoped that Eric really had enough strength.

Otherwise, if the king of giant beasts was awakened from his slumber, the consequences would be unimaginable.

As Eric did not conceal his life aura at all, he got closer and closer to the King of the Sea.

The sleeping king of the sea finally woke up.

If they were just some ordinary behemoths, they would not cause any reaction from the King of the Sea even if they came near him.

But Eric is a ninth-order peak Templar after all. When he wakes up, the King of the Near Sea may not care about the life aura of this level.

But when it was sleeping, this level of life aura was enough to cause it to react instinctively.

As the king of giant beasts comparable to the extraordinary people who have embarked on the road to legend, if the King of the Sea wants to continue to grow, it will no longer be of any use to rely solely on preying on other giant beasts or conventional resources.

Not to mention growing into a truly forbidden-level life form, even maintaining one's own strength would be extremely difficult by relying on that method.

Only the special terrain formed naturally by heaven and earth can provide these giant beast kings with the special energy that allows them to continue to grow.

Because of this, the King of the Sea has been staying in this area to absorb the special energy in it to grow.

After feeling the powerful aura of life and being forced to wake up from his slumber, the King of the Sea let out a shocking roar.

Even though he was sleeping in the sea, the roar of the King of the Sea still reached the land and was clearly heard by Eric and the others.

Along with the roar came a giant tsunami tens of meters high.

If there were no living things around, this roar alone would have caused unimaginable casualties.

Soon, a huge beast rushed out of the ocean and came into the sky.

As if to reduce some kind of consumption and prepare for promotion to a forbidden life, this giant beast named the King of the Sea is not very large in size, but rather inexplicably petite.

Generally, the size of wild beasts that have achieved complete atavism can reach at least several hundred meters, comparable to some mountains.

However, the size of this king of the sea barely exceeds 100 meters, and some ordinary behemoths may be even larger than it.

Of course, the strength of giant beasts cannot be judged solely by their size.

Not to mention that this is a giant beast king that is only one step away from becoming a true forbidden life.

After rushing out of the ocean, the King of the Near Sea directly locked onto Eric's position, and a pressure from the true king of giant beasts descended instantly.

The intensity of this pressure is completely different from the pressure that the old man had previously unleashed. It is no longer just able to cause some kind of mental impact.

The power of heaven and earth around him seemed to be pulled by something and suppressed Eric.

"No wonder he was crowned the King. This one method alone is enough to render all beings below the King helpless."

Eric said with some emotion. Even with his strength, after enduring this pressure, most of his strength was directly suppressed.

It was equivalent to being at an absolute disadvantage before the fight even started.

For this kind of giant beast king, numbers probably no longer have any meaning.

"You'd better retreat to a farther place to watch the battle, otherwise you might be affected later."

Even though he was only affected by this pressure, the old man's face still turned a little paler.

This was not the first time he had seen the Giant Beast King, but it was indeed the first time he had seen the Giant Beast King in such an enraged state.

After hearing Eric's words, the old man nodded and hurried away.

The next battle was not something he could interfere with at all.

The King of the Sea paid no attention to the old man's actions. From the very beginning, there was only Eric in his eyes.

Seeing that the old man had left, Eric nodded.

Looking at the king of the sea in the distance, his figure is slender, like a giant python but with some characteristics of a dragon.

Eric knew that with his normal strength, he could only barely save his life and would not have any ability to fight back, let alone defeat the other party.

Without any hesitation, he directly activated the 'advance' of his power.

At the same time, some great power from his own future suddenly descended.
