Hmm?
One sentence caused Dracula's expression to change slightly. Ye Cangtian was right!
This was not yet the most dangerous moment, and they should conserve their strength. Otherwise, if they were short-handed, they might all be annihilated.
With this thought, Dracula glanced at Brandon beside him and said, "You three, go assist them."
Upon hearing Dracula's command, Brandon and the other two, despite their reluctance to fight the demon beasts, had no choice but to join the fray.
After they joined the battle, the treasure-hunting team clearly saw a turning point.
With the restraint from the members of the major factions, Brandon and the other two quasi-Heavenly level powerhouses found their opportunities and struck with almost fatal precision.
In a short period, they had killed the Ancient Demon Whale and the Octopus. By the time the Ancient Blood Shark reacted, it was already too late.
The three quasi-Heavenly level powerhouses had already surrounded it, giving it no chance to escape.
Not long after, in a solitary struggle, the Ancient Blood Shark met the same fate.
After killing the three demon beasts, the members of the various factions quickly returned to the ships. As some of the warships had been destroyed, the ship space became somewhat tight.
However, they managed to squeeze everyone in and settle them down, though the space on the ships was rather cramped.
Among these returning individuals, there were generally two views on the people from the Temple of Light.
One view was that the Temple of Light had dispatched powerhouses in the previous battle, saving their lives, and thus these people were deeply grateful to the Temple of Light.
The other view held significant reservations about the Temple of Light.
In the initial battles, the Temple of Light had also sent people, but they were only some cardinals.
Moreover, these cardinals dared not advance, which led to many casualties. In their eyes, the Temple of Light was using them as cannon fodder.
Although the Temple of Light later sent powerhouses, their sinister intentions were already clear.
However, everyone chose to remain silent about these matters. After all, every faction wanted to monopolize the treasure, and mutual calculations were within reason.
Meanwhile, neither Dracula nor Ye Cangtian paid any attention to this situation.
The two of them were now focused on one thing: harvesting the three demon beasts.
These demon beasts had cultivated for countless years, their scales impervious to blades and spears, truly treasures.
Others also had covetous intentions towards these, but seeing the people from the Temple of Light keeping watch around them, they eventually gave up the idea.
While the three demon beasts were rare, they were undoubtedly far inferior to the ultimate goal of their journey. Therefore, they would not fall out with the Temple of Light at this time.
After clearing the battlefield, the treasure-hunting team set off again.
Within two days, the treasure-hunting team made a new discovery.
On the boundless sea, they finally spotted a small island. The island was not small, and from the sea, only lush green mountains and forests could be seen; nothing else.
However, even so, everyone cheered, as after drifting at sea for more than three months, everyone had long yearned to return to land.
Soon, they landed on the island.
After a brief rest, they conducted a thorough survey of the entire island.
The island was circular, and there were no powerful demon beasts on it. Only in the center of the island did they find a very large lake.
Soon, everyone chose to set up camp on the shore of the lake.
Not long after, Dracula invited Ye Cangtian into the tent.
After drifting at sea for more than three months without any sign of the Chaos Seal, he wanted to check for any deviations in direction now that they had landed on the island.
When Ye Cangtian heard Dracula's request, he remained silent for a moment before finally agreeing.
After more than three months at sea without any discoveries, the sudden appearance of a small island struck them as odd in many ways.
Ye Cangtian also wanted to see if the Chaos Seal was related to the island and if it was hidden in some secret realm on the island.
With this thought, Ye Cangtian took out the Dark Seal and the Dragon Taming Seal and infused them with a trace of spiritual energy.
The next moment, the spectral projections of the two seals appeared, but when they saw the light emanating from the projections, both of them were stunned.
In the past, the light from the two seals shot out horizontally, indicating a direction. However, the two beams of light now pointed directly above their heads.
But above their heads was only a starry sky, with nothing else!
Could it be that the Chaos Seal was hidden in the starry sky?
How was that possible?
Furthermore, even if all this were true, how could they obtain it, since they could not fly!
The next moment, Dracula looked sharply at Ye Cangtian and said grimly, "Ye Cangtian, what trick are you playing! Why is this happening?"
Dracula's understanding of the Four Seals was not as deep as Ye Cangtian's. In his opinion, this was Ye Cangtian playing tricks.
Hmph!
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian suddenly snorted and said, "Dracula, I told you, I wouldn't tamper with such matters. You've seen it yourself; I followed the guidance to get here!"
Hmm?
Hearing this, Dracula's eyes flickered, and he pondered internally.
After all, Ye Cangtian had also been drifting at sea with him for such a long time. There was no need for him to delay or play any tricks.
With this thought, he calmed down a bit and sighed, "Ye Cangtian, then tell me, why is this happening?"
"How should I know!"
Ye Cangtian gave him a sidelong glance and continued, "If this is happening, either the Chaos Seal is truly in the sky, or the mystery of the Chaos Seal is ultimately a deception..."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Before Ye Cangtian could finish speaking, a series of booming sounds echoed, followed by the ground trembling.
Ye Cangtian and Hasal had to interrupt their conversation and rush out of the tent to investigate.
They saw that the lake outside the tent seemed to be boiling, and suddenly dozens of water columns erupted, followed by a slender figure appearing before their eyes.
The figure was about thirty to forty meters long, with four limbs and horns like a deer on its head, and it could easily float in the air.
Dragon?
Upon seeing the appearance of the demon beast, a single word appeared in the minds of everyone in the treasure-hunting team: Dragon!
Its appearance was indistinguishable from the divine dragons in Eastern legends.
However, in just a moment, a hint of realization flashed in Ye Cangtian's eyes.
According to legends, a flood dragon has four claws, while a dragon has five.
And the demon beast in front of them had four claws. If his guess was correct, this should be the Flood Dragon mentioned by the three demon beasts earlier!
"Those who trespass upon the Sea God's forbidden land and disturb my slumber shall die!"
Before anyone could recover from their shock, a deafening roar echoed in everyone's minds.
With the appearance of the flood dragon, many people in the treasure-hunting team retreated.
Firstly, the flood dragon exuded a powerful and terrifying aura, and they were no match for it.
Secondly, dragons were also symbols of auspiciousness, and they were truly worried that provoking it might bring some bad luck.
Only Dracula stood before the flood dragon, his gaze icy, and he shouted loudly, "Hmph! You mere four-horned crawler at the peak of the quasi-Heavenly level, dare to be so arrogant in front of me!"
In Eastern mythology, divine dragons were symbols of auspiciousness, but this was not entirely the case in the West.
Especially in the eyes of Westerners, Eastern divine dragons were merely four-horned crawlers, not worthy of being compared to Western dragons.
With his words, the flood dragon's gaze was also drawn to Dracula.
The flood dragon sized up Dracula, and the next moment, a hint of wariness clearly appeared in its draconic eyes.
"Human, you are strong!"
"But this is the Sea God's forbidden zone, and trespassing here leads to death!"
"Now, seeing that your cultivation is hard-earned, if you are willing to leave on your own, I will let bygones be bygones!"
The flood dragon remained silent for a moment before finally speaking slowly.
After all, Dracula in front of it was a Heavenly level powerhouse, and such cultivation posed a significant threat to it.
Therefore, the flood dragon did not wish to fight such a powerful individual unless absolutely necessary.
"Ridiculous, a mere crawler dares to act as if before me!"
"Today, I shall see how capable you are!"
Hearing the flood dragon's words, Dracula sneered and then drew his cross longsword.
