Chapter 319 - 319 Controlling the Tsunami
319 Controlling the Tsunami
The church of destruction had tried to attack his house while he was still stuck in the great dungeon the previous afternoon.
Now that he was free, he finally decided to deal with this trouble.
He activated the [Premonition Prompt] effect in his backpack and immediately thought about it.
[You plan to find the location of the leader of the church of destruction, Zhou Fantian, but you have no clue. You will not know that he is now hiding in Shenxia.]
“Eh!”
Ling Yi was overjoyed when he found the general location in an instant.
He thought foresight was the essential function in the past, but now it seemed that the hints were quite helpful.
[You plan to look for Zhou Fantian in the country, but you still have no clue. You know that there is a prompt that can be used, but you cherish the number of times you use it and are unwilling to use it. When you are troubled, you suddenly feel that you have not been to the beach for a long time.]
‘He’s at the beach now? But the Shenxia coastline is so long….’
[Although you’re worried that the coastline is too long, you think he should be in a big coastal city like Yunhai City.]
“The seaside in Yunhai city?”
[You do not have the chance to remember Zhou Fantian’s life force. Otherwise, finding him would have been a piece of cake. Now, you can only rely on your eyes to see him. It’s as difficult as ascending to the heavens for you.]
[But you think he should be somewhere with more people.]
Following the clues given by the prompt, Ling Yi finally had a rough idea of where the man was currently located.
In order to prevent the other party from leaving and looking for trouble again, he quickly took out the “global teleporter”, located his location in Yunhai City, and teleported.
…
Yunhai city had a Golden Beach.
Although it wasn’t very famous in the country, it was indeed a first-class leisure place in the city.
On this starry night, because the famous boy group “Free Age” was holding a concert here, it caused an unprecedented liveliness.
“The age of freedom! The age of freedom!”
“Ou Haochen, Ou Haochen, I love you!”
“Oh, oh! Oh, oh! Oh, oh!”
Tens of thousands of people had gathered here, stepping on the soft sand and playing to their heart’s content.
Thousands of colorful tents had been set up on the shore, and most people had already planned to spend the night there.
There were several huge and dazzling colored lamp posts at a certain distance. With loud music in the background, some people were cheering in front of the stage, some were sitting in front of the barbecue shop drinking and eating barbecue, some were playing in the water by the beach, and some were lying on the beach and looking at the starry sky…
No one noticed that the leader of the church of destruction, Zhou Fantian, was sitting under a lamppost on the beach.
His pitch-black eyes swept over the cheerful crowd, and the corners of his mouth curled up wildly.
“Hehe… Enjoy yourselves. You don’t have much time anyway….”
He suddenly thought of Shenxia’s “Eternal Guardian monument”.
“Hmph!”
He snorted coldly and forced himself not to overthink about that statue.
Most of the members of the church of destruction that had entered Shenxia had turned themselves in because of Shenxia’s “Meditation Monument,” so he had to control his emotions strictly.
‘Even if you can resurrect once a year, I can still kill you every year.’
Yesterday’s “surprise attack” caused the church to lose more than half its members. Now, the total number of members was only two digits.
Many dark organizations no longer consider themselves the world’s number one dark organization. Last night, a few of their temporary strongholds were even attacked.
Zhou Fantian was well aware that if he did not do something big now, the church of destruction would most likely be destroyed by the other dark organizations.
Huaa—
A salty sea breeze blew across his face, waking him up from his reverie.
He looked at the sea as it brewed in the distance and could not help but smile excitedly. ‘Using an A-grade scroll ‘tsunami’ here will not be a bad idea!’
This was a scroll that could be used on seawater. It could set off a massive tsunami without warning for a short time.
At the end of May, the Sacred Gate organization used this scroll to attack a coastal city, and its power shocked the world. Since then, he had been thinking about that scroll, and he had only managed to get one a few days ago.
He glanced at the crowd around him and saw that they were not paying attention to him or the ocean. He was even more pleased. “It seems like I’ve been safe for too long. I don’t feel any sense of danger at all.”
He turned his gaze back to the surface of the sea. Through the night, he saw the seawater begin to retreat.
“It’s coming. It’s coming–”
At the same time.
The people sitting by the beach, admiring the sea, and playing with the water were the first to notice the strangeness of the sea.
“Eh? The tide is low?”
Lin Qingyu and her best friend, Wu Qingtian, were sitting by the sea. The two of them were looking at the sea and talking about their future plans. Lin Qingyu was the first to notice the water’s abnormal movement at a particular moment.
There were barely any lights by the shore, so she couldn’t see very clearly.
Wu Qingtian, beside her, took out a flashlight and shone it on the sea’s surface. When she saw the sea water rapidly retreating into the distance, “Low tide is normal… However, it’s receding a little too fast…” She asked, feeling as if something was nudging at the back of her mind.
“Eh? Why does the water keep retreating?”
When the seawater left the range of her flashlight, she and Lin Qingyu looked at each other.
“Do you think there’s a possibility that it’s a tsunami?” Wu Qingtian said half-jokingly.
“But there’s no alarm… Unless a player deliberately caused it…”
As the two of them continued to discuss, someone in the distance exclaimed, “The seawater is retreating at an unbelievable speed! There’s no water on the beach now!”
When the others around him heard this, their smiling faces suddenly froze, and they all looked toward the water.
Under the cover of the night, they could only see the bare surface of the beach nearby, and the sea in the distance was dark. They couldn’t see clearly or hear the slightest sound.
The deafening music was still rumbling, and more people began noticing the abnormality.
A player took out a “flare” among the crowd and fired it at sea in the distance.
Weng— Bang!
The flare exploded in the sky about two thousand meters away, emitting a bright red light.
A vast sea curtain flowed towards the sky in the strong red light. It looked left and right, and there was no end. When he looked up, he could not see the peak.
It was only then that the crowd exploded.
“Tsunami! A tsunami is coming!”
The alarm didn’t sound in time. This is a man-made tsunami!!
“Quickly run!!!”
“…”
In just a few seconds, the heavy sea’s rumbling sound, the crowd’s wild screams, the beach alarm, and the loud music that had not stopped were all mixed together. All the ordinary people felt like the end of the world was coming.
On the coastline, dozens of long-range searchlights were lit up at the same time. This was originally to prevent people from drowning and assist in the night search and rescue. Now, they were all aimed at the sky.
Many people glanced and saw that the sea peak was hundreds of meters high. They were instantly scared, and their faces turned pale.
Some people gave up on jumping and planned to die once, while others followed their instinct to escape and rushed to the shore, screaming in panic.
However, there were too many of them. Many of them fell and were immediately stepped on by the others…
The panicking people did not notice that a figure had suddenly appeared in the sky.
“Eh?”
In order to capture Zhou Fantian, who had tried to attack his house, Ling Yi followed the hints from the Premonition Prompt and came to Yunhai City.
He had heard that there were many people at Golden Beach, so he had flown over.
The situation he met stunned him.
“Tsunami? It’s quite rare.”
After a rough scan, he found that the tsunami was not big. It was about a hundred meters high and dozens of kilometers long.
“Man-made?”
Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for a 100-meter tall creature only to have a wavelength of a few dozen kilometers.
Ling Yi didn’t think too much about it. After sensing the tsunami, he activated the second effect of “Slowing Divine Power” and slowed down the time in the entire tsunami area.
The surging tsunami suddenly stopped at speed visible to the naked eye!
The deafening roar that resounded in their ears suddenly disappeared!
Everyone reacted slowly and turned around to look. They saw that the surging tsunami seemed to have stopped time and space. It was motionless.
“This, this, this…”
“Is this time being frozen? It’s a very high-level and rare ability, right?”
There must be an expert here!!
“Eh? During the battle against the Ice Spirit, Boss 01 seemed to have displayed such an ability…”
Seeing that the tsunami had stopped, some people still fled into the distance with lingering fear, while others glanced at the sky to see which player it was.
A cool breeze blew on the beach from an unknown source. When it blew on everyone’s faces, it was as if they had been washed with cold water. The anxiety in their hearts was greatly reduced, and their minds quickly calmed down.
“The wind is coming…”
