Chapter 446: Sea Beast Tide! Players Join the Battle!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
At the far end of the meeting point of sea and sky, a long, dark line suddenly appeared. The eerie howls echoed gently in the sea breeze as tens of thousands of sea beasts surged forward through the roiling waves.
This was the almost extinct Sea Beast Tide that nearly wiped out half of the Western Mid-Ocean.
Even though they witnessed Sea Beast Tides of two or three hundred thousand before, they were still amazed by the scale of this one.
From the leftmost to the rightmost horizon, their entire view was dominated by an endless sea of sea beasts. These creatures were like unsightly blotches on the ocean’s surface, consuming everything in their path, whether it be fish or plants, and transforming it into a single, voracious mass.
The Sea Beast Tide was nor originally this large. It started with just tens of thousands of sea beasts migrating collectively, but as they forced more and more sea beasts to join them on the way, it grew like a snowball, gradually forming this Sea Beast Tide that numbered in the millions.
As the sea beasts advanced on the sea surface, they suddenly smelled the rich scent of blood carried by the sea breeze.
Their eyes turned blood-red in an instant.
Their appetite, which had not yet subsided after devouring an enemy force earlier, was stirred up once again. It was as if their stomachs were growling, and without any hesitation, they surged toward the direction where the scent of blood was blowing from.
Ahead, an island chain came into view, and the scent of blood was emanating from those islands.
All the resistance they encountered along the way was easily overwhelmed with a single charge, and nothing could stop their advance, just as it was this time!
All the creatures standing in their way would become their food!
Therefore, the vast horde of sea beasts rushed in without any hesitation.
Amphibious sea creatures rushed onto the islands, seeing a large amount of meat piled up on them, the strong scent of blood constantly stimulating their appetites. They rushed up without any hesitation and began to devour it ravenously.
Marine sea beasts charged toward the spaces between the islands, tearing the floating fishing boats into pieces and feasting on the scattered flesh and blood.
Such a small amount of flesh and blood could not satisfy the desires of nearly a million sea beasts. After devouring all the flesh and blood here, they continued to surge toward the next location with the scent of flesh and blood.
The final defense line.
A makeshift tent on a western mountainside.
Alice hurriedly entered the tent, a hint of joy on her face.
“My lord, the Sea Beast Tide has entered the trap as planned, and the formation is gradually closing in. They are moving step by step deeper into the islands along the predetermined route.”
According to the pre-established plan, the key to the successful plan lay in using flesh and blood to guide the sea beasts in the desired direction, compressing their range of influence as much as possible, and ultimately gathering all the sea beasts that had originally spread over a range of dozens of kilometers into this narrow strait.
Now that they had been lured in, it was equivalent to the plan being half successful.
Ji Chen naturally understood this, but he didn’t show any signs of excitement. He spoke in a solemn tone, “Continue to closely monitor the movements of the sea beasts, and report to me immediately if anything happens.”
“Yes, sir!”
On the front lines.
On a small island with lush vegetation, two Starshine City scouts hid among the dense branches and leaves. At this moment, they were watching the Sea Beast Tide passing by the island with anxious expressions.
Sea beasts one after another filled the sea between the islands, and the roars of the beasts echoed incessantly, sending shivers down their spines.
Because the sea beasts were all attracted by flesh and blood, none of them had climbed onto their island.
“There are so many of these sea beasts. It feels like they’re everywhere, quite eerie.”
“If they come up, 1 guarantee I won’t make a sound.”
“Indeed, I won’t even make a sound even if they were to swallow me whole.”
“Ahem… Let’s not digress. Do you think they’ll collide with it? After all, with such a big, ominous iron sphere in the water, anyone would think something’s not right, right?”
“Well, that person in the mask said that the intelligence of these sea beasts has hit rock bottom. If they can charge through, they won’t think twice, so they won’t avoid it… But I’m not entirely sure.”
“Sigh, I hope the plan succeeds. My family is still in Starshine City. If we can’t hold back these sea beasts, it will be disastrous…”
“Look, they’re getting ready to reach the location of rhe water mines!”
The two Starshine City scouts squinted their eyes and saw that the Sea Beast Tide, upon seeing the water mines, did not stop but instead charged straight into them.
Boom!
A muffled thunderous sound and rhe water mines exploded among the sea beast horde. A water column several tens of meters high shot into the sky, spreading out like scattered fireworks.
In the midst of the splashing water, sea beasts were launched into the air, and torrential rain of blood began to fall from the sky.
One water mine directly killed hundreds of sea beasts, achieving remarkable results.
Just as they were feeling jubilant, an astonishing scene unfolded before their eyes.
Other sea beasts, upon witnessing the explosion of the water mines, didn’t react by fleeing quickly. Instead, they charged towards the explosion point with red eyes, gnawing on the corpses of their fallen comrades.
This left the two St arshine City scouts astonished, and they couldn’t close their mouths for a while.
After a moment, one of them swallowed hard and said, “These sea beasts are really savage, aren’t they?”
“Who’s denying that… Let’s go, we need to hurry back and report this before we miss any opportunities.”
“Agreed.”
Soon, two giant sea eagles took off from the forest and sped towards the final defense line.
With the help of the giant sea eagles from Starshine City, Ji Chen was able to quickly obtain updates on the battlefield situation and the sea beasts’ movements in real-time.
As things stood, everything was going smoothly.
The sea beasts obediently followed the predetermined route, even in the presence of the water mines, without deviating from their path..
