After liberating the sea-clan base, Lu Hong had initially planned to press on in one effort to take down the enemy's nest and break the seal set by the Naga Queen.
However, Tong Ling told him that the seal of the Naga Queen was now under tidal protection, so he decisively chose to give up.
Lu Hong had heard about tidal protection many times in the game before; it was the protection offered by the Tide Orb, a top-tier divine artifact of the sea-clan, born with the Sea God. This thing was impossibly strong; even the War God had once tried to shatter it but failed, which showed how sturdy it was.
And tidal protection was the defensive power invoked by the Tide Orb, its source being the vast sea; as long as the seawater never dried up, it would possess super self-healing abilities, able to recover in the blink of an eye even if momentarily breached.
