“The Dragon King Krill can digest most rocks and stones, including iron and copper, but the silver deep in the sea is an exclusion. If they swallow the silver, they will die in no time,” Zhang Xiaohou mentioned.
The silver veins in the deep sea went all the way into the Earth’s crust. The silver veins had followed the underground rivers like huge dams.
The Dragon King Krill had made holes in the silver veins, but they had to get rid of most of the entire silver veins to make the Underground Rivers accessible to the sea monsters. The larger sea monsters were too massive to swim through the little holes of the silver veins.
“The silver veins are indeed giving the sea monsters a headache. Are you saying the sea monsters are trying to use our Forbidden Curse to destroy the silver veins?” Zhao Manyan asked. He understood the situation better after hearing Zhang Xiaohou’s explanation.
In the past, humans had always used their intelligence to keep demon creatures at bay. They had also used the demon creatures’ power against them by outsmarting them. Who would have thought the sea monsters would do the same in return?
Zhang Xiaohou now understood why Yang Xiajie’s soul kept warning him not to underestimate the sea monsters’ intelligence!
Humans had spent a long time fending off demon creatures on land, yet they were still stuck in the safe zone in the form of cities. The oceans were a lot bigger than the land. More than half of the oceans remained unexplored.
The sea monsters they had encountered were only the tip of the iceberg.
These unknown species would bring forth a different war. Being alert along the coastline was no longer enough!
The sea monsters were able to conspire against the humans now. Everything might seem calm on the surface, but the sea monsters’ invasion had already begun!

Zhang Xiaohou thought he would have to swim in the opposite direction of the Underwater River for some time to locate the silver vein.
To his surprise, the silver vein was right there at the bottom of the ‘well’. It was bigger than the one he had found before. The Dragon King Krill were biting at the silver ore and moving it to other places.
The Dragon King Krill were like slaves without their own will, but they were great in number. Even though they were going to die because they could not digest the silver ore, they were still eating the silver ore recklessly.
“There really is a silver vein here!…” Zhao Manyan exclaimed.
The silver vein was right in the middle of the underground river. As a Water Mage, Zhao Manyan could sense a stronger current on the other side of the silver vein.
Once the silver vein was cleared, not only would the underground river enlarge by tenfold, the water would flow at a quicker rate, too!
“The demon creatures of Mount Kunlun are unable to pose a threat to our coasts because there are countless hordes, kingdoms, and powerful species between Mount Kunlun and our coasts. They would have to pay a huge price just to reach our coasts. Similarly, there are many hordes between the middle of the Pacific Ocean and the Bohai Sea, making it difficult for this kingdom of sea monsters to travel to our coasts. However, things will be different once the underwater rivers are cleared,” Zhang Xiaohou pointed out.
Zhang Xiaohou insisted on finding out the truth. He realized he had made the right decision after seeing the huge silver vein and the underwater river!
“Damn it, the Forbidden Curse is going to land right on the silver vein. It will obviously destroy the silver vein. The sea monsters are trying to trick us!” Zhao Manyan cursed.
Zhao Manyan was now utterly convinced the sea monsters were using them. It was impossible to have so many coincidences in a row.
Deep Sea Silver was an extremely scarce resource, and the Forbidden Curse happened to be targeting the silver vein that was intercepting the underwater river.
