Chapter 1400 Big Fish Comes Ashore
As this warmth flowed into his body, Lin Qiye finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This thing was finally dead.
This black alligator was some kind of monster with an incredibly hard body. Frenzied Cao Yuan couldn’t cut through it, and even forbidden spells couldn’t kill it. If not for the Ame-no-Murakumo sword that could cut through anything, killing it would have required much more effort.
An Qingyu pulled his hand from the ground and expressionlessly used a scalpel to cut off the broken finger bone. A mass of flesh squirmed at the bloody opening, and soon a new finger grew back.
He, who had half his body gnawed off just minutes ago, had now basically returned to normal. He quickly walked to Lin Qiye’s side and curiously examined the black alligator’s corpse, his eyes showing excitement that had been absent for a long time:
“Can I have its body?”
“Of course,” Lin Qiye nodded.
An Qingyu immediately stepped forward, borrowed the Ame-no-Murakumo sword from Lin Qiye’s hand, quickly dismembered the black alligator, preserved it with ice, and stuffed it into the nearby jungle.
Just as Lin Qiye was about to say something more, several black shadows streaked across the sky, heading straight into the depths of the island!
Although they didn’t know exactly where the Great Xia National Fortune was on the island, these black alligators were clearly heading for it. With Li Qengqiang and Tang Yusheng not nearby, they had to stop the enemy no matter what.
“We can’t let them charge in like this.”
Lin Qiye was about to charge forward with the Ame-no-Murakumo sword, but before he could take a step, a snow-white lightning bolt erupted from the deep mountains!
This lightning swept across the sky, instantly binding the bodies of three black alligators, forcefully smashing them onto a nearby mountain peak with a deafening boom.
Only then did Lin Qiye and the others see clearly that it wasn’t white lightning, but a long white whip.
A graceful figure in a white hoodie landed lightly between the three black alligators. With a gentle flick of her long whip, howling lightning danced around her.
Her gaze swept over the three black alligators and fell on Lin Qiye and the others in the distance. The corner of her mouth curved upward slightly.
“Well done, little ones. If not for your impressive performance these past few days wearing down their patience, they wouldn’t have become so impatient… Let me introduce myself, I’m Wang Qing, the fourth Commander-in-Chief of the Great Xia Night Watchers.”
Roar——!!
The three black alligators knocked down by Wang Qing quickly rose and surrounded her, pairs of pale green eyes flickering in the darkness.
Lin Qiye and the others exchanged glances and were about to rush forward to help Wang Qing when a thunderous crack of the whip split the air, directly sending one black alligator flying. Dense white lightning intertwined into a vortex, trapping the three black alligators within.
Wang Qing’s voice drifted out: “Don’t worry, I can handle these few Makara. Your mission is complete; leave the rest to us… Go deeper into the island, nowhere is safer than there.”
The sharp whip shadow danced in the lightning, and Wang Qing’s voice was drowned out by the thunderclaps.
Standing in the devastated forest, the members of the [Night Curtain] team all looked at Lin Qiye in the center. After a moment of silence, he nodded:
“Let’s do as Commander Wang says.”
Although Lin Qiye and his team could handle the black alligators, one was already their limit. Now there were nearly twenty black alligators on the island, beyond their capabilities. If they insisted on staying, they would only become a burden to the commanders.
Successive explosions and black alligator roars came from various parts of the island. Lin Qiye and his team immediately set off, heading straight toward the depths of the island.
…
Boom——!
The black staff struck down, and a deep rumbling echoed across the sky. A black alligator’s shell was forcefully cracked with dense spider-web fractures, embedding it deep into the ground.
Nie Jinshan, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, calmly pulled the staff from the black alligator’s head and looked behind him.
From the churning waves, four more black alligators slowly emerged. Pairs of pale green eyeballs stared at Nie Jinshan, floating like ghost fires in the darkness.
Nie Jinshan forcefully thrust his staff into the ground, sending out an invisible wave of energy. His pine-tree-like figure stood tall on the shore, like a war god guarding the gates of heaven.
The black alligators roared one after another, their hard, massive bodies charging fiercely toward Nie Jinshan at the island’s edge. He suddenly pulled out his black staff and charged toward the alligator group like lightning. With a howling sound cutting through the air, his staff directly smashed the leading black alligator into the ground!
As one black alligator was knocked down, several more charged forward. Their tentacle-like long tails swayed in the air, instantly binding Nie Jinshan’s wrists.
Several crimson giant mouths opened and closed, their teeth—capable of crushing the world’s hardest rocks—frantically biting toward Nie Jinshan’s body!
Nie Jinshan let out a low growl, his staff tracing an afterimage in his hands. With one strike, he hit the jaw of the closest giant mouth, directly flipping the entire body of that black alligator. The generated gale force unwound the tentacles around his wrists, and his figure left trails of afterimages in the air as he avoided the bites of the other three black alligators.
Nie Jinshan stood firm amidst the encirclement of four black alligators, his sharp gaze sweeping the surroundings.
Just as these black alligators were about to charge again, the rolling waves behind suddenly surged up. A white-robed figure holding a halberd stood on the crest of a wave, emanating a majestic pressure.
“Senior Nie, let me help you,” Tang Yusheng leaped down from the waves.
Nie Jinshan frowned and said in a deep voice, “No need, I’m enough alone.”
Tang Yusheng, who was about to charge forward with his halberd, suddenly paused upon hearing this. “But… Senior Nie, these are four divine beasts! I can help you…”
“No need,” Nie Jinshan repeated. “Go help Qengqiang or Wang Qing. I can handle this.”
Tang Yusheng: …
Although these Makara weren’t top-tier in strength, they were still divine beasts at the divine realm. For an ordinary human at their peak, facing two simultaneously would be a life-or-death struggle. Yet Nie Jinshan was facing four Makara alone and refused to budge.
Having guarded the Great Xia National Fortune with Nie Jinshan for so many years, Tang Yusheng knew how stubborn the First Commander-in-Chief could be. He gave up trying to persuade him and simply sighed:
“Then please be careful!”
“Wait,” Just as Tang Yusheng was about to leave, Nie Jinshan seemed to remember something and spoke seriously,
“Yusheng, the big fish has already landed on the island… With your abilities, it’s best not to show yourself. Stay in the nearby waters to prevent any escapees from getting away.”
The big fish has already landed on the island?
Hearing this, Tang Yusheng narrowed his eyes and nodded, saying:
“Good, I understand.”
With these words, Tang Yusheng’s figure flickered and he charged back into the churning sea, disappearing from sight.
