The three tribes each led fifty guards, converging at one location.
Above, fifty slender, sickle-shaped flying shadows circled.
These flying shadows were the Soot Albatross tribe, their appearance quite distinctive among birds.
Their bodies were white, but their wing shoulders and tails were greyish-brown. Viewed from below, they appeared white, but from above, they were a mix of grey and white.

Their beaks were long, with the tip hooked downwards, covered by an extremely hard keratin layer, like a sharp iron hook.
But the most striking feature of the Soot Albatross was their unique body structure.
Short neck, thick body; short tail, but with a pair of slender wings.
Most Soot Albatrosses had a wingspan of about twelve meters, with the longest reaching about twenty meters.
It was because of these special wings that the Albatross tribe could stay in the air for several hours without flapping, relying solely on the wind.
As a unique species within the Albatross tribe, the Soot Albatross had mutated with fire attributes. Using the power of fire, they added explosive power and attack power that other Albatrosses did not possess, on top of their already long endurance.
Moreover, when flying, the flames on their bodies would collide with water vapor, forming a layer of mist like a mirage, concealing their bodies, hence the name Soot.
Soot meant fine smoke like mist, representing the ethereal, smoke-like characteristics of their tribe.
Below the flying birds, two groups of similarly sized beasts were gradually landing on the island's beach.
One group was the Fierce Tooth Sea Lion group.
They averaged over five meters in length, with the leader doubling in size, reaching ten meters.
The Sea Lion tribe was best at diving, and they were also a very intelligent and highly social race.
The coordination of their entire tribe was very strong. With mutual cooperation, they could exert the advantages of group collaboration.
With the power of the group, they could even encircle and hunt sea soul beasts with even greater strength.
Fierce Tooth Sea Lions possessed extremely sharp teeth that could release high temperatures, allowing them to easily crush the defenses of their enemies.
Therefore, crustaceans were generally the main prey of their tribe.
They would use their sharp teeth to pierce the shells, and then use high temperatures to scorch the insides. This would not only quickly kill their prey, but also allow them to enjoy a delicious meal of roasted seafood.
This was the case for crustaceans with hard shells. If other races encountered them, they would be roasted as soon as they were bitten.
Due to their racial characteristics, Fierce Tooth Sea Lions were accustomed to eating cooked food. Therefore, when hunting, they would first inject flames into the sea beasts' bodies with their teeth, roasting them from the inside out.
This also meant that the larger and stronger the sea soul beast, the longer it would be roasted, and the longer it would have to endure the pain.
Therefore, these seemingly cute creatures were definitely not to be trifled with.
Beside the Fierce Tooth Sea Lions were the Giant Sea Turtle tribe, the Gold Jasper Furnace Flame Turtles, carrying small black mountains on their backs as they crawled.
These turtles were almost the same size as the sea lions, just appearing flatter.
Most notably, the shells of the Gold Jasper Furnace Flame Turtles were mostly made up of greyish stone and piled-up mud, with seaweed and other things on top.
The entire tribe also exuded a strong earthy smell, looking just like mobile hills.
But this was just an appearance. These mud blocks were just debris piled on the shell. Inside, the real shell was made of metal.
The Gold Jasper Furnace Flame Turtles possessed the special ability to refine and extract metal using the flames within their bodies.
These refined metals would be integrated into their shells, increasing their hardness and thus improving their defense.
Not only that, but these hard shells, in addition to being used for defense, also acted as iron furnaces.
The higher the strength of the shell, the more firepower and pressure it could withstand.
This meant that the Gold Jasper Furnace Flame Turtles could condense more and stronger flames inside their shells.
This could not only speed up the refining of metal, but also burst out the compressed flames, causing a very large area of damage.
Even more terrifying was that they were generally lazy and rarely took action, but if they were completely angered and pushed to the brink, they would launch an extremely terrifying suicide attack.
Because their shells had been tempered to a very high level, once they detonated, the energy would be further compressed by the shell. Finally, the energy of the explosion would spread outward along with the shattered metal shell.
The combined eruption of the explosion and metal fragments further expanded its killing power and range.
The self-detonation power of a ten-thousand-year-level Gold Jasper Furnace Flame Turtle could even be compared to a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
It was also for this reason that the Gold Jasper Furnace Flame Turtle tribe rarely had enemies in the ocean.
In front of a group of turtles carrying black iron mountains, there was an extremely conspicuous giant turtle.
It was fully ten meters long, and its shell was eight meters high. Moreover, this turtle's shell was extremely towering.
Although it was also covered in mud, if the other turtles were rounded hills, then it was a real mountain.
It was the Gold Jasper Furnace Flame Turtle King.
The mountain behind it was not because its shell was shaped differently from other members of its tribe. Although it was larger, it was no different in proportion to other members of its tribe.
This was simply because it had more accumulated mud and debris on its body than others.
Walking alongside it, the Fierce Tooth Sea Lion King gave the Gold Jasper Furnace Flame Turtle King a disgusted look with its round head.
It covered its nose with a short flipper and scolded, "Hey, old turtle, isn't the mud layer on your body getting thicker? And this smell is getting stronger and stronger. Can't you think of a solution?"
The Fierce Tooth Sea Lion King's voice was like a mischievous little boy, full of childishness. Coupled with his displeased tone, it directly reduced the cute atmosphere around him.
Faced with the condemnation, the Gold Jasper Furnace Flame Turtle King only returned a kind smile and said slowly, "It's just out of the water and still a little damp. It won't smell when it's dried in a while."
His voice was extremely old, like a kind old man, speaking slowly, but his intention was still to reject the Fierce Tooth Sea Lion King's request.
In response, although the Fierce Tooth Sea Lion King's words were full of disgust, his face was full of helplessness and a little regret.
It knew very well that the sloppy old guy in front of it was not to be trifled with. Moreover, for the Gold Jasper Furnace Flame Turtles, the thickness of the mud accumulated on their shells was a symbol of strength.
