Chapter 117: The Appearance of Ninth-Order Beasts!
Everyone’s expression changed as they looked towards the sea behind them.
The once calm sea, with barely any waves, suddenly became turbulent!
Waves crashed one after another, each higher than the last!
At the same time, the tremors on the island grew more intense.
“What is happening!?”
The crowd stared at the sea, their faces shifting, eyes filled with horror.
The white-clad man wore a grave expression, turning his head slightly to the white dove on his shoulder, seemingly saying something.
Then, the dove flew off his shoulder, heading towards the surface of the sea.
The dove soared above the raging waves.
At the same time, a strange light flickered in the white-clad man’s eyes.
“White-clad man, what is going on…?” Chen Yi asked, his face pale as he looked at the white-clad man beside him.
The white-clad man furrowed his brow, the strange light in his eyes flickering.
“The waves on the surface are too chaotic; I can hardly see… I need to fly lower,” he said in a deep voice.
With a thought, the dove, hovering above the sea, slowly descended.
At that moment, the white-clad man finally caught sight of something.
“Under the surface near the shore, there seem to be two red light spots… They’re getting bigger,” he said.
The crowd was shaken by his words.
Two red light spots? What could they be?
The tremors on the island continued, making the entire island feel as if it were about to collapse.
Many of the more timid individuals were so frightened that their legs turned to jelly.
“The red light spots are getting bigger… but I still can’t see clearly what they are…” The white-clad man’s expression grew increasingly serious as he spoke.
“Boom!”
Several towering water columns erupted from the sea, looking extremely spectacular.
“Wait! This is…” The white-clad man suddenly realized something, his expression changing dramatically.
As the two red light spots approached, he seemed to grasp the situation.
He directed the dove to fly higher.
At this moment, he could see that beneath the surface, besides the two red light spots, there was also a massive black hole!
Earlier, he had been too close and only sensed darkness below.
But now, from a distance, he saw that… it seemed to be a mouth!
A giant abyssal maw!
“What… what kind of monster is this?” The white-clad man trembled, his face changing drastically.
Chen Yi, seeing the usually calm and composed white-clad man so shaken, felt a surge of panic.
“Wh-White-clad man, what exactly did you see?” Chen Yi asked urgently.
“I… I saw…” The white-clad man was about to speak when a loud explosion erupted from the sea!
A colossal creature suddenly leaped from the water, soaring into the sky!
Its body was enormous, several times larger than the cruise ship the people on the island were on!
It looked like a whale, but unlike any ordinary whale, its body was pure black, and it was even larger than typical whales, nearly a hundred meters long and at least forty to fifty meters wide!
As this monster leaped into the air, even the sunlight seemed to be obscured, casting a massive shadow over the people on the island.
At that moment, the white-clad man let out a scream, the strange light in his eyes vanished.
A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth as he stared in shock at the creature soaring above.
His spirit pet, the dove, had been swallowed whole by this monster.
Spirit pets share a blood connection with their owners; if the pet dies, the owner will also be affected.
“White-clad man, you are well-read and knowledgeable; do you know what kind of monster this is!?” Chen Yi asked, his face devoid of color.
The white-clad man wiped the blood from his mouth, his eyes filled with terror as he watched the monster plunge back into the sea, his mind racing to recall.
He remembered reading about such a monster in an ancient book…
The Sky-Eating Whale!
A ninth-tier demon beast, the Sky-Eating Whale!
The white-clad man suddenly recalled the name of this monster!
With its whale-like appearance and massive size, its pure black body, enormous red eyes, and abyssal maw…
It matched the illustrations in that ancient book perfectly!
This was the Sky-Eating Whale!
“Young master, I fear we have encountered the Sky-Eating Whale…” the white-clad man said solemnly.
“The Sky-Eating Whale…” Chen Yi was about to speak when a chorus of gasps erupted around them.
“Our cruise ship!”
Chen Yi immediately looked towards the shore, only to see the monster leap from the water again, opening its massive mouth and swallowing the entire cruise ship whole!
“Boom!”
With a loud crash, the cruise ship instantly vanished from the shore!
Seeing this scene, a chill ran through everyone, and they began to tremble.
Some of the more timid individuals had already collapsed to the ground.
It was terrifying. This monster was too terrifying.
Its massive size left everyone present feeling a profound sense of helplessness.
Even more frightening was the fact that this monster seemed to eat anything, even inanimate objects like cruise ships, which it could swallow whole…
The Sky-Eating Whale sank back into the depths, and the waves on the surface suddenly calmed.
The tremors on the island also began to subside.
Had this monster… left?
Many people breathed a sigh of relief.
But the white-clad man remained grave.
Earlier, he had sent his spirit pet dove to nearly a hundred meters in the air, and it had been swallowed by the Sky-Eating Whale in one leap.
If such a small spirit pet could be sensed by the Sky-Eating Whale, and it could leap a hundred meters to swallow it…
This indicated that the Sky-Eating Whale had a perception of living beings…
Its violent behavior, even swallowing a cruise ship, suggested it was incredibly hungry and would not leave easily.
Just as he thought this, the island suddenly trembled again!
“Boom!”
This tremor and noise were far more intense than before!
Many people lost their balance and fell to the ground!
Qin Yimo almost fell but was caught by Fang Yu.
“Fang Yu, what kind of monster is this…?” Although Qin Yimo had seen many things, this level of monster was a first for her, and she was a bit stunned.
Fang Yu, however, showed no signs of panic.
On the contrary, his eyes were filled with excitement and exhilaration!
What does a ninth-tier demon beast mean?
It means a ninth-tier top-grade demon core!
For Fang Yu, this was like a gift delivered to his door!
“It’s attacking our island! It wants to sink the whole island and make us fall into the sea!” The white-clad man said, his face ashen as he shouted.
His words caused the faces of those around him to change dramatically!
No wonder the island had been shaking; it turned out this monster was attacking!
But what should they do now?
The island looked like it was on the verge of collapse; if it was hit a few more times, it might really sink!
If it sank into the sea, with the Sky-Eating Whale’s abyssal maw, it could swallow everyone present in one bite!
Thinking about the possibility of not seeing the sun tomorrow, some merchants couldn’t help but weep.
Had they known this would happen, they would never have come to this small island!
“Friends, if we do nothing, we will only sit and wait for death. We must find a way to make this Sky-Eating Whale feel fear and drive it away,” the white-clad man transmitted his voice with true energy, directly into the minds of everyone present.
Including Chen Yi, there were five half-step masters and two masters among them.
They understood that the white-clad man was addressing them.
Aside from them, the others had no combat abilities.
“White-clad man, what should we do?” a master asked, looking at the white-clad man.
“Go to the shore and use your strongest techniques to strike at the Sky-Eating Whale, trying to stop it from continuing to attack the island. I will also use secret techniques to summon several heavenly lightning bolts. We will attempt to drive it back with the power of thunder!” the white-clad man instructed.
“Understood.” The two masters nodded immediately.
“White-clad man, we are only half-step masters and cannot project true energy; we cannot harm the Sky-Eating Whale…” one half-step master said.
“You all stay here and ensure the safety of the people,” the white-clad man replied.
After saying this, he and the other two masters leaped forward towards the shore.
The two masters positioned themselves about fifty meters above the sea, gathering their true energy, waiting for the Sky-Eating Whale to reveal itself for a powerful strike.
Meanwhile, the white-clad man stood further back, taking out several talismans from his pocket and beginning to cast secret techniques.
“Boom!”
The Sky-Eating Whale struck the island once more!
Some dead trees and rocks on the island fell to the ground.
At this rate, the island was about to collapse!
“Crack!”
At that moment, the head of the Sky-Eating Whale broke through the surface, its mouth wide open.
“Now’s our chance!”
The two masters simultaneously unleashed their palms at the Sky-Eating Whale!
