A huge bunch of blue moths was circling the southernmost area of the Shuangdong Mountains. Not long after, a beautiful woman with moth wings appeared in the sky. She was staring down at the rising seawater...
”Trying to pull a sneak attack on us?” Yu Shishi grinned.
Several figures were moving restlessly in the water. Their savage eyes were hidden in the water, but Yu Shishi had seen through their trick right away.
”Go, alert the patrol squad!” Yu Shishi pinched her finger and Summoned a speedy moth out of nowhere like a magic trick. The moth had a special glow that was visible from a certain distance away.
A patrol squad showed up soon. The figures in the seawater revealed themselves by coming ashore at almost the same time. The patrol squad had arrived without alerting the intruders.
”It's the Viscera Hunters. These creatures are able to move freely on land without affecting their fighting capacity!” the captain of the patrol squad told everyone.
”Wait a little longer, let them walk into my Shadow Trap.”
”My Sinister Spider Trap is ready, too.”
The members of the patrol squad were whispering. It was a lot easier to take out the sea monsters after knowing where they were going to strike.
The moths were spread throughout the vicinity of the Shuangdong Mountains. The glowing moths were a sign that they had spotted intruders. Yu Shishi would relay the information to the patrolling squads so they could take out the intruders.
”There are so many of them!” Yu Shishi looked at the tiny glows in the darkness.
The construction of Fanxue New City had been going very smoothly. The Shuangdong Mountains had stopped the icy tide from reaching the vicinity of the new city when the sea level rose. However, the sea monsters seemed to have great scouting ability. They could even analyze the behavior of humans!
Feiniao Headquarters City was an important human base in the maritime battlefield of the South China Sea. A huge portion of the coastline, consisting of countless cities and villages, was drowned. The people desperately needed a new place to settle, so these detestable sea monsters would try everything to stop the construction of the Headquarters City. They had finally carried out their first wave of attacks!
The attacks were quite cunning, since five patrol squads had left for the sea to rescue a ship. If the moths were not on alert at all times, the raid would clearly inflict great losses on Fanxue New City...
The residents desperately needed a sense of security. If the Viscera Hunters managed to break through the line of defense and carry out a massacre in the new city, it would immediately fall to the bottom of the chasm, as no one would be willing to settle in a dangerous place where the sea monsters could invade so easily!

”What's the situation?” Mu Ningxue beat her Wind Wings and landed nimbly on the dam.
”It's the Viscera Hunters. The cunning creatures lured five of our squads out to the deep sea. We aren't really sure about their situation for now. Meanwhile, the sea monsters suddenly invaded us when we were short-handed...” Lu Jiang, who was in charge of the dam's defense, informed her.
Mu Ningxue was shocked after hearing Lu Jiang's report.
How were these sea monsters so cunning? It was like they were as intelligent as humans, judging from their approach!
