Chapter 327: Chapter 326 Encounter with Sea Beasts
On the deck, quite a few people had already gathered, led by a middle-aged man with a refined appearance, whose attire was quite luxurious.
She wore a grand and magnificent bead-embellished palace dress, with a faint lake-colored sheen, seemingly exuding her mystery and nobility.
This person was named Wu Xiangyi, a guard martial artist specially hired by the merchant fleet, with cultivation at the Spirit Embryo Realm.
As soon as Zhong Lin appeared, Long Zhao and Chen Jian immediately surrounded him.
"Senior Brother."
"Pill Master Zhong, you’ve arrived."
Since last time, Chen Jian had basically stayed on deck every day, just to have another chance to speak with Zhong Lin.
He had thought about visiting Zhong Lin directly, but hesitated at the door, never daring to knock.
Zhong Lin nodded at the two of them, then cast his gaze toward the distant sea.
The group waited for a moment until everyone was present.
Wu Xiangyi stepped out from the crowd, facing everyone as she spoke: "Everyone, the Vanguard Fleet is in danger, the situation is urgent. I hope everyone can unite and work together to follow me in the rescue mission."
"Of course. If the great ship is damaged, we too will perish at sea. We will do our utmost."
The crowd responded with feigned seriousness.
"Alright, please follow me."
Wu Xiangyi lightly tapped her toes, leading everyone into the air, flying forward together.
Zhong Lin also soared into the sky, rushing forward, with Long Zhao and Chen Jian closely following on either side.
The group quickly flew more than twenty miles, the sea surface vast, yet no sign of the Vanguard Fleet.
"Spread out and search," Wu Xiangyi ordered.
The group then dispersed in a commotion, breaking into groups of three or five, flying in different directions.
Chen Jian and Long Zhao stayed tightly by Zhong Lin’s side, continuing to fly forward.
They traveled about thirty miles forward, but the vast sea showed no traces to follow.
"Something’s here."
Soon, someone let out a powerful tiger roar, echoing in all directions.
Upon hearing the sound, Zhong Lin immediately turned and flew to his left.
In no time, the group gathered again at one spot.
Looking ahead, island reefs appeared on the sea, and in the distance, a large island was shrouded in mist.
"An island?"
Seeing the island before him, Zhong Lin was extremely surprised. Having been at sea for months, this was the first island encountered since setting sail.
"Look over there."
Following the direction of the first martial artist who discovered it, they saw a warship looming among a cluster of reefs, partly obscured by mist, not clearly visible.
The group hurriedly flew over, and before they got close, a strong scent of blood permeated the air.
At this moment, everyone finally saw the condition of the warship. The entire ship was broken in two, one part sticking out with a sharp edge, the other sunk into the sea.
The warship was stained with blood all over, corpses lay around, and the sea was dyed red.
Everyone noticed that the bodies were broken beyond recognition, the deceased looked terrified, as if suffering from bites, experiencing great pain.
The scene was extremely tragic.
Wu Xiangyi’s expression changed, shouting loudly: "Everyone be careful, there might be sea beasts under the sea."
Just as her words fell, a red light suddenly burst from the sea, aiming directly at the martial artist closest to the water’s surface.
With a swish!
Accompanied by a clear sound, and a scream, the martial artist’s abdomen was directly pierced through, then a massive force came to drag him into the sea.
"Old Third."
In the crowd, a large man with a full beard looked at the scene before him with cracked eyes, roared in anger, and drew his long knife. The blade light was fierce, striking at the red light.
This large man was at the Spirit Sea Realm, and that strike was his full strength, but sadly, it did not cut through the red light, only slowing it slightly.
Only then did everyone see clearly that it was not any red light, but a long tongue, like a sharp spike.
The tongue, under attack, caused the hidden sea beast in the depths to emerge on the surface.
This sea beast was extremely large, most importantly, it looked exceedingly bizarre.
Its upper body was like a crab, its lower body like a sea serpent.
On its head were three rows of eyes, six in total, large, bulging, and continuously moving, extraordinarily terrifying.
Its skin was a hard carapace, covered with spines.
The two enormous crab pincers glistened with a faint ebony light under the sun, fearsome and powerful.
The lower body was a black-brown snake tail, constantly swaying.
The tongue was spat out from the mouth of this sea beast, directly piercing through that martial artist’s abdomen.
"Big Brother, save me."
The martial artist uttered a pained howl, his mouth continuously pleading in terror.
But the rescue did not come in time, the strange sea beast raised its giant crab pincer directly to stab over.
Puff!
With a muffled sound, the martial artist’s body was instantly severed in two, flesh flying.
"Aah!"
Screams of agony immediately followed.
This person, though at the Spirit Sea Realm, with his body split in two, did not die instantly, continuously uttering cries of pain.
But the wails did not last long, as the crab pincer was lifted again, smashing down fiercely.
Thus, the cries were abruptly cut off.
The crowd was terrified, breath held in suspense.
"Third Brother, ah... die to avenge you."
The bearded man, seeing his third brother’s tragic state, eyes cracking, swung his long knife in the air, a sword gang several dozen feet long slashing toward the sea beast’s snake tail.
The long snake tail instantly had a blade scar, large serpent scales flying everywhere.
"Roar!"
The sea beast, in pain, let out an inhuman howl.
"Everyone attack together, kill this creature."
Wu Xiangyi surveyed the crowd, loudly issuing orders.
At the same time, Wu Xiangyi shook her sleeves, clenched her fist, and unleashed a fist seal.
Bang!
The massive fist force struck the sea beast’s snake tail, another large area of serpent scales erupted and scattered.
The surrounding martial artists, seeing that even someone at the Spirit Sea Realm could harm this sea beast, felt encouraged, began to act, each displaying their prowess, the scene lively.
"Roar!"
The strange sea beast roared, lifting its two crab pincers high, shaking the air, unleashing its terrifying ferocity.
The left crab pincer smashed forward, a Spirit Sea Realm martial artist hit as if by a heavy blow, spitting blood and flying backward.
The right pincer swept through the air, clanging, clanging, all incoming attacks by knives, spears, swords, and halberds were knocked away, chaos ensuing.
Immediately after, the snake tail coiled, then sprang up.
Thud!
Two more martial artists couldn’t withstand it, groaned, and flew off, soaring gracefully in the sky.
Sweeping across the heroes.
Standing beside Zhong Lin, Chen Jian, deeply moved by the scene, said: "Not good, this sea beast possesses combat power at the Spirit Embryo Realm, very formidable body."
Zhong Lin stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze cold, just about to step forward and attack.
Suddenly his eyes turned toward the mist-shrouded island, his gaze flickering unpredictably.
"Long Zhao, you take action, finish it quickly."
Long Zhao nodded, took a step, and appeared in an instant atop the sea beast’s head, then punched down.
The strange sea beast reacted extremely fast, spreading its crab pincers like scissors, stabbing forward, as swift as lightning, unbelievably fast.
