Zhangze Town…

The farmlands were scattered on both sides of the Huangpu River. The vegetable fields were being drowned after the water level rose.

The air was cool in the morning. A few old men were feeling self-pity, looking over their crops.

After the Headquarters Cities were established, there was not much land left for agriculture. The price of food and vegetables had increased significantly. The old men had been planning to earn more money so their family could live a better life in the Headquarters City.

“Old Tang, why does the water keep rising?” an old man who was carrying a loaded pole on his shoulders asked his neighbor.

“We must hurry. If the vegetables are all destroyed, we will have nothing to feed ourselves!” the old farmer said.

The two had their backs to the Huangpu River as they were harvesting as many vegetables as they could.

In less than a few minutes, the cold river had already reached their ankles.

The two old farmers turned around and noticed the river was flowing into their farms. They would have assumed they were beside a lake if they did not see the buildings on the higher ground.

“There’s something in the water!” one of the old men screamed. He dropped his pole in shock.

The other old man looked at the water and saw a black shadow moving around!

The black shadow was extremely large. The water of the river was being pushed into the farms due to its sheer size!

A huge wave rose from the river after they heard a huge blast. A beast with a black carapace charged into the farm.

The soil was dug up, forming a huge pit. The sheds in the farms were shredded into pieces.

The beast roared fiercely.

Zhangze Town instantly experienced a level twelve windstorm. Not only were the buildings blown into the air, even the concrete of the roads, cable poles, and factories were destroyed!

The whole town fell into panic.

The people assumed the sea monsters would only appear along the coasts. To their surprise, they had followed the Huangpu River inland. The Mages in the town would not stand a chance against thus!

“Run to the shelter, quick!”

“Everyone, stay calm. We are students of the Pearl Institute. We’ll keep the monster busy. Just find your families and get to safety.

“Do they still have time to look for their family? Just run if they can.”

“Yeah, the Mages who tried to stop the monster are all dead!”

A few students were helping the villagers. Some had formed squads to eliminate the sea monsters that had infiltrated inland.
