Without formidable strength, this simply wouldn't do.
If you're weak, your wife might become someone else's wife.
If you're strong, someone else's wife might become yours.
Luo Feng had no intention of stealing others' wives, but he certainly wanted to protect his own.
With this thought, Luo Feng said, "Alright, since that's the case, let's begin.
I'll take out Poseidon's Trident now."
As Luo Feng's voice faded, a dazzling Poseidon's Trident appeared in his hand.
The moment the trident materialized, the surrounding sea instantly became turbulent.
Just as Luo Feng was stunned by this, a sudden voice rang out.
"Ding! The Merfolk Queen has issued you the Poseidon Promotion Quest. Do you accept?"
"Accept. Begin teleportation to the quest location."
Hearing the game system's prompt, Luo Feng didn't hesitate and immediately spoke.
As his words ended, Poseidon's Trident began to glow, enveloping Luo Feng and his companions completely.
In the next moment, their figures vanished into thin air.
Luo Feng's vision blurred, and he found himself deep underwater.
Before he could even process this, he saw an enormous and incredibly luxurious structure ahead.
"Ding! Congratulations, player. You have discovered Poseidon's Palace."
The Merfolk Queen, witnessing this, was utterly shocked and incredulous.
She exclaimed excitedly, "We've actually reached Poseidon's Palace?
This is where the Sea King resides.
Poseidon's Palace is capable of moving freely.
It disappeared along with the Sea King long ago.
Who would have thought we'd see it here?
I wonder if the Sea King is inside...
This quest seems far from easy."
Luo Feng gazed at the radiant palace in the distance, his heart equally unsettled.
After becoming the Sea King, would he really own a freely movable palace?
That would be beyond amazing.
Luo Feng quickly checked the requirements for this promotion quest.
[Poseidon Promotion Quest]
Objective: Reach the entrance of Poseidon's Palace and push open its gates.
Time Limit: 12 hours
Reward: Poseidon Exclusive Skill
Luo Feng shared the quest details with everyone present.
Once they had all reviewed it, he said, "Our mission this time is to break through these wild creatures' blockade and enter Poseidon's Palace.
Only then can we officially complete the promotion."
As he spoke, Luo Feng looked ahead, where numerous massive sea creatures were already waiting for them.
At that moment, an idea struck him, and he began swimming upward.
Perhaps they could bypass these creatures and enter the palace from above.
But before he could ascend more than a few meters, Luo Feng was startled to find he couldn't rise any higher.
It was as if flight was restricted in this area.
Seeing her master's attempt, the Merfolk Queen smiled and said, "Master, there's no use trying.
The vicinity of Poseidon's Palace doesn't allow swimming too high."
Above Poseidon's Palace, not a single fish dared to swim across.
"Let's keep moving forward. I wonder if we'll encounter any particularly dangerous creatures this time."
Hearing the Merfolk Queen's explanation, Luo Feng understood some of the reasons and gave up on his previous attempt.
Returning to the Black Tortoise's back, Luo Feng said, "For safety's sake, let's have the Black Tortoise carry us. With its protective shield, completing our mission shouldn't be too difficult."
Hearing this, the two women naturally had no objections. In such an unfamiliar environment, safety was paramount.
The Merfolk Queen looked at the massive Black Tortoise beneath her and said, "Master, how did your turtle grow so large in just a few days? When I first saw it earlier, I almost didn't recognize it. From a distance, I didn't dare approach directly. Only after communicating with it did I manage to get it to stop and wait for me."
Luo Feng smiled faintly at her words. "Didn't you already know? It's because of that Mysterious Seed we obtained last time. After soaking in the Seed Water, it grew rapidly."
The Merfolk Queen certainly hadn't forgotten about this, but she hadn't expected the Seed Water's effects to be so potent. Her eyes suddenly brightened as an idea struck her. "Master, would your water work on me too? Could it enhance my strength?"
Luo Feng was momentarily taken aback. He remembered that the Mysterious Seed's water promoted biological growth, but shouldn't have any effect on fully grown organisms, right? It was precisely because of this belief that he hadn't used the Seed Water indiscriminately. Even Luo Feng himself had never drunk it.
It seemed he would need to find an opportunity to thoroughly study the effects of the Mysterious Seed Water later. But now wasn't the time—what if drinking it led to unpredictable consequences?
Thinking this, Luo Feng looked at the Merfolk Queen and said, "I'll let you drink my Seed Water another time. For now, let's focus on reaching Poseidon's Palace first. If my water really does work for you, you can drink it every day without any issues."
Hearing her master's words, the Merfolk Queen didn't press further. The mission was undoubtedly more important at the moment.
Tang Xuewei, who had long been curious about Luo Feng's Mysterious Seed Water, chimed in, "When the time comes, I'll drink your water too."
Luo Feng chuckled at her words. "Of course. When the time comes, both of you can not only drink it but even bathe in it if you want—no problem at all."
Just as Luo Feng was speaking—
BOOM!
A deafening explosion suddenly rang out from nearby, immediately drawing their attention. When Luo Feng saw what lay before them, he couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.
A giant flaming lobster, standing over five meters tall, had appeared right in front of them.
Seeing such a large lobster, Luo Feng couldn't help but swallow his saliva. A lobster this size must taste incredibly delicious.
The loud noise from earlier was actually the sound of the massive lobster's claw striking the ground.
Noticing Luo Feng and the others approaching, the Flame Lobster didn't hesitate for a moment before swimming straight toward them.
