Chapter 961 - Sea God Reef (1/2)
“Why are you still loitering around? What if the child gets injured? Don’t you know the severity of the matter? Thankfully, a powerful human expert killed those giant crabs. Otherwise, if they were to rush into the city and something happened to the child, I’d like to see how you explain it to your wife when you return.” The middle-aged man bumped Zhou Wen again and reprimanded him.
“I’ll leave now,” Zhou Wen hurriedly said, knowing that he meant well.
“Stay at home and take care of the child. Children are our future,” the middle-aged man lectured Zhou Wen again. Before leaving, he didn’t forget to remind Zhou Wen to return.
Zhou Wen carried the child and headed for a city gate in an opposite direction. He still needed to visit Sea God Reef. His luck today seemed pretty good. He had a feeling that he might find the tiny palm symbol.
The Sea God Reef was also known as the Dragon King Reef by the locals. Every time the tide receded, one could see a dragon-shaped reef surface above the sea like a divine dragon undulating over the sea.
Legend had it that the reef was originally formed by a divine dragon. As there were restrictions in the world, sea dragons couldn’t go ashore. However, the divine dragon’s newborn child was caught by a fisherman during one of its playful escapades.
In order to save its child, the divine dragon ignored the restrictions and rushed onto land to snatch back its child. However, because it had violated the restriction, it turned into a rock before returning to the sea. It had been left here ever since.
This was originally just a legend. Later, after the dimensional storms, an area near Sea God Reef became a dimensional zone. Many terrifying dimensional creatures appeared inside.
No one had really landed on Sea God Reef to this day. It was unknown if the Sea God Reef had transformed back into a divine dragon.
Now, Sea God Reef couldn’t be seen from the beach. In the shallow sea, there were many shrimp soldiers and crab generals. They were all powerful Epic existences. Legend had it that deeper in the Sea God Reef was the Turtle Minister, a powerful dimensional creature at the Mythical stage.
Of course, no one dared to enter the deep sea, so they didn’t know if these legends were true.
There weren’t many people from Sea Return City who dared enter Sea God Reed. Zhou Wen didn’t encounter anyone when he arrived.
Before coming, Zhou Wen had contacted Li Xuan, but his call didn’t connect. The latter was probably in a dimensional zone.
“Young man, why aren’t you listening to my advice at all? Why are you running around with a child?” Zhou Wen had just arrived at the periphery of the Sea God Reef dimensional zone when he heard a familiar voice.
He turned his head and saw that it was indeed the middle-aged man from before.
“Brother, what a coincidence. Why are you here?” Zhou Wen asked the middle-aged man with a smile.
“The crabs that came ashore this time might be related to Sea God Reef, so I came to investigate. I say, what’s wrong with you? You’re already an adult and even have a child. Why can’t you weigh up the consequences?” the middle-aged man asked.
“This is my sister,” Zhou Wen explained.
“Then even more reason why you shouldn’t bring her to such a dangerous place. Your mother is already so old. How much effort and risk did she endure to give birth to a daughter? If anything happens, how are you going to answer your parents?” The middle-aged man tried his best to educate Zhou Wen.
Just as Zhou Wen was about to explain, he suddenly heard a dragon’s roar coming from the sea. The two of them subconsciously turned their heads and saw that the dragon’s roar was coming from the direction of Sea God Reef.
However, as they were still in the area outside the dimensional zone, the sea was covered in fog. They couldn’t see anything clearly. They could only find out by walking in.
“Quickly send your sister back. If you want to take risks, do it yourself. Don’t joke around with the child’s safety,” the middle-aged man exhorted Zhou Wen before running towards Sea God Reef.
