There is no guarantee for the lottery? So what?

#169 - Chapter 169 Four Aquatic Tribes

"Fortunately, we had psychics who could determine whether they were dead or alive. However, at the time, we could only confirm that [Incompetent] and [Warm Monarch] were still alive, but we couldn't determine their condition at all.

At the time, we thought that tribe had an unparalleled powerhouse, so we only sent a few reconnaissance psychics to investigate.

However, we searched those islands thoroughly but couldn't find them. We even discovered that the combat power of that tribe wasn't very high.

So, we guessed that they must have used a trap to send the two top psychics to an unknown location and imprisoned them."

Gou Dehao saw Qi Jing and, remembering that he had participated in the New Student Competition, said:

"You should have met [Incompetent], right? It proves that we didn't guess wrong back then.

They were transferred to the center of the Sea of Time by the aquatic tribe leader using a magical stone, and they only returned after four years.

But we didn't know that at the time, so we could only send low-level psychics to probe and attack step by step.

At the beginning, it was very smooth. We easily took down more than a dozen islands, so we increased our firepower and intensified our attacks.

In order to avenge those two top psychics and find news about them, we fought fiercely at the time, risking our lives to chop off the fish heads on the opposite side.

Who knew that when we finally captured that tribe, we still couldn't find any news about them.

Then, we turned our attention to the second tribe.

But unexpectedly, the remaining three tribes joined forces and caught our vanguard off guard, causing heavy losses."

Could it be that this battle was what caused Grandpa Gou to lose his son?

Qi Jing looked around and found no signs of any living creatures.

He guessed that the battlefield back then shouldn't be here, but on the other side of this island.

"Then Mo Lao, the gambler, took action. As a top-tier special psychic, he could use extraordinary methods.

He used a hundred years of his life as a price to gamble back the lives of those people.

But how could reversing the life and death of so many people be so simple? He also became a vegetable for three years because of it."

???

A hundred years of life?

Did [Gambler] have that much life?

Looking at Qi Jing's shocked eyes, Gou Dehao said:

"How could Old Dog Mo have that much life? However, the stake in his psychic ability can be someone else's lifespan.

At that time, all of us had a little lifespan taken away by him, which was enough to gather the stakes to save everyone.

Although the risk of failure was also very high, fortunately, they all lived, not a single one was missing."

Speaking of this, Gou Dehao also became a little excited.

"At that time, none of the hundred or so people present withdrew from this 'life donation' activity. Everyone raised their hands, including me.

It's just a year of life, Old Dog Mo had already lost ten years before, so our year is nothing."

"Then how did you deal with those alien races?"

"Then, we changed our tactics and called over the lurking team that was performing missions in other alien worlds, and asked them to gather information on the remaining three tribes.

Among them was my son.

His psychic ability is called 'Disguise', which can change his appearance and turn him into a fish-man to infiltrate their tribes and gather information.

I haven't told you what these four alien races are, have I?"

"No."

"The first one we destroyed was a kind of six-legged frog that could stand up using its lower limbs, so we called them 'Six-Legged Frogmen'. Their innate skill is 'Jump', which means they have strong legs and can jump far.

The second tribe we attacked was something like a lizard. Their innate skill is 'Invisibility', which allows them to blend their bodies into the environment, invisible but tangible.

The third tribe is a kind of sea slug that can split, and can't die even if cut into several pieces.

The fourth tribe is a kind of squid whose ability is to make the ink it sprays explode.

These four races can all live in the water, but they each occupy dozens of small islands.

My son was sent to the island of the exploding squid to investigate.

A month later, his information came through a wireless phone, saying that each tribe had its own trump card to coexist peacefully for so long.

This trump card is a stone that their ancestors found from somewhere, each with a special function.

Later, we found out that the hidden lizard's trump card was a stone that could completely hide a large area of creatures. The frogmen's stone that was destroyed could teleport a range of creatures to a random area.

We found the stone that could teleport and found that it needed a long time to charge before it could be used, so we guessed that the other stones were the same.

Before, the three tribes joined forces to sneak attack, they should have used it, so we wiped out the hidden lizard tribe overnight with lightning speed.

But we have not been able to find out the trump cards of the splitting slug and the exploding squid.

My son continued to lurk down, looking for an opportunity to steal that stone."

Gou Dehao sighed and said:

"This is where my son lurked, and also where he was discovered and died."

Qi Jing looked around. There were only smooth stones here, and no buildings were found.

"These octopuses like to stay in the cracks between the stones. The gap under our feet is the entrance to their main camp. The cave below hides an unknown number of squids."

Qi Jing curiously bent down and looked inside from the crack in the stone.

Suddenly, a fifty-centimeter-long squid crawled out from inside.

Qi Jing jumped back two steps in fright.

"Don't be afraid, this is a memory created by the Time Jellyfish. We can't destroy the objects here, and they can't see us either."

Qi Jing nodded, and then found that Gou Dehao's eyes suddenly became very solemn.

He followed Gou Dehao's gaze and saw a black squid protruding from another crack, cautiously moving forward.

It walked very slowly, and Gou Dehao followed it step by step behind it.

Qi Jing also silently followed.

The air seemed to quiet down, and Qi Jing also controlled his breathing and footsteps, not making a single sound.

After what seemed like a long time, the squid walked to the foot of a towering stone, took out a small mobile phone from the gap below with its tentacles, and then worked hard to type with its not-so-hard tentacles.

"The squid's stone can explode, and its power is enough to sink twenty islands. I will continue to lurk and look for opportunities to steal it."

Qi Jing looked at the words displayed on the black and yellow screen and understood why he didn't leave after finding out the squid's trump card, but continued to lurk.

This power is really terrifying.

If this stone is not obtained, it is very likely that the entire army will be wiped out when the attack is launched in the future.
