The Strongest Mad Son-in-law

Chapter 1373 1376: Something Feels Off

Seeing Ice Blue about to speak, Xu Hao raised his hand to stop her, saying, "Let's go, we'll dive to search."

Ice Blue and the others were filled with reluctance and even more confusion. Logically, Xu Hao wouldn't do such thankless tasks, nor would he let others take advantage of him.

But now, it's clear that these people just want to take advantage!

Mei Xuezi and her group had been silent the whole time; there were too many strong people here, and it wasn't her time to speak. However, she suddenly frowned slightly and said, "Young Master Xu, we would like to join you."

Kameda Nainan was instantly puzzled, why would Mei Xuezi say such things at this moment?

Doesn't she know that this is a critical period? The strong ones here were obviously letting Xu Hao and his team be the suicide squad, and Xu Hao was foolishly taking the bait — it's clearly walking into the line of fire!

Xu Hao was also stunned when Mei Xuezi said that; he glanced at her and found her staring at him with big eyes, full of innocence, but he didn't believe she was truly that pure.

Xu Hao pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright, since Miss Mei Xuezi wants to join us, let's go together. However, I can't guarantee your personal safety, Miss Mei Xuezi."

Mei Xuezi smiled slightly and said, "That's okay, as long as Young Master Xu lets me stay by your side, I believe my safety will be well assured."

While speaking, Mei Xuezi moved to stand beside Xu Hao. When she attempted to link arms with Xu Hao, he deftly avoided her without a trace.

"Ao Ming, enlarge yourself."

Upon Xu Hao's command, Ao Ming immediately restored his original form under the gaze of the crowd, growing extremely large.

Lapu laughed heartily, saying, "Haha, I've long heard that Xu Hao acquired a magical creature. Seeing it today, it's indeed true; this guy is so huge, I wonder how it grew to this size. Let me try riding it."

With that, he flew up, ready to leap onto Ao Ming.

However, Ao Ming opened his mouth towards him, unleashing an incredibly powerful jet of water.

"Bang!"

Lapu quickly raised his hand, waving the long stick he held, blocking the water flow. Yet, the strong force made his body involuntarily fly backward, retreating over ten meters. He nearly stumbled before stabilizing his stance.

Ao Ming then glanced at him disdainfully and proceeded to ignore him entirely.

Many people saw this scene, almost laughing out loud. This guy wanted to stand on Ao Ming's back to display his formidable strength, but Ao Ming wasn't easily intimidated, giving him no chance and, instead, making him look utterly defeated.

Lapu coughed lightly and said, "Good fellow, no wonder it's so robust. Even casually released water flows have such powerful force; if it really fought, I guess none of us could take it on alone."

Xu Hao couldn't be bothered to engage him and instead said, "Get on Ao Ming's back, let's take a look in the sea."

Xu Hao, Bing Wanxin, and the Ice Palace group, along with Mei Xuezi's team, all sat on the stone stele on Ao Ming's back.

Once in the sea, Xu Hao and the others together raised a protective shield, covering the Ice God Scepter within, then quickly dove underwater.

Lapu and the others quietly waited on the ice for Xu Hao and their return.

Tu Yilong whispered, "I wonder how long it will take them to find it."

Wang Zihao said, "It doesn't matter, they'll seek it out properly. Besides, with Xu Hao's personality, he likely thinks he can withstand us all, so he'll proudly go searching."

"But I'm worried he'll find it and then flee," Tu Yilong said, wondering what if Xu Hao and his team found it and ran away?

Wouldn't they be left with nothing?

Constantine spoke up at this moment, "There's no need to worry; the protective shield they've created can only maintain oxygen consumption for a limited time, not exceeding half an hour. They must surface, and hereabouts, our ten drones are scanning comprehensively, ensuring they can't escape."

Tu Yilong and the others were secretly shocked. The Temple of Light silently dispatched as many as ten drones; looking at the single drone Lapu brought, it indeed seemed a bit humble.

Yet, Lapu doesn't share this view; he came here not with absolute plans to seize the Water God Altar, but more for fun, being somewhat of a martial fanatic.

However, he sighed at this moment, saying, "Alas, I thought I could spar with you all here, but unexpectedly, you all are planning to act only after finding it — it's truly boring."

Everyone ignored his remarks, letting him talk to himself.

Hams stared at the gradually calming sea, his gaze somewhat unfocused, seemingly pondering something.

Tang Jing also watched the sea, feeling something seemed amiss, yet couldn't pinpoint what it was.
