Chapter 345 Skeleton King (1/2)
Yang Ku seemed to have thought of something, his expression changing slightly. ”Retreat! Everyone, leave the beach... keep a distance of 1,600 feet!”
Earlier on, when King Coral Monster had first emerged from the sea, some people had already retreated quietly.
When they heard the command, they ran away immediately.
The King Coral Monster didn't even hide its presence, which was like the scorching sun shining brightly on Earth.
The monsters at the side of the King Coral Monster were excited, splashing out of the sea and letting out ear-piercing shrieks.
When Goldie saw that everyone had retreated and none of them were waiting for it, it became panicked.
It stumbled while pulling the King Eel, not letting go of it and desperately dragging it.
Gao Peng had said that if it dragged this eel back, it would be given 500 credits.
That was 500! Its pocket money every month was only 375 credits, so this would be worth more than a month's income.
Goldie panicked. It raised its head and saw Flamy flying above it. ”Gua, fat crane. Fat crane, quick, hit me.”
”Damn baldie!” Upon hearing this, Flamy grew angry, opened its mouth, and spit flames onto Goldie. Burn, you damned bald duck. I'll burn you into a sauce-roasted duck!
While being burned, Goldie squinted its eyes, letting comfortable groans out of its throat.
The continuous burning damage of the flame was calculated every second. Although the flame extinguished gradually after eight seconds, Goldie's size had increased eight times over, and its length, width, and height were doubled. It was now a burly 23-foot-tall duck.
When it dragged the monster again, it was a lot easier. Goldie felt like its waist had straightened, its back wasn't bent, and it wasn't even panting. It dragged it a few hundred yards in one breath.
Yang Ku looked at Goldie again.
”Hm?”
He rubbed his eyes. ”This duck…” Clearly, it hadn't been this big before, so was it that this duck could become either big or small according to its will?
Yang Ku only glanced at Goldie out of curiosity, when actually, he didn't care about such a trivial matter.
A large number of scimitar fins on the surface of the sea cut across the water and quickly approached the shoreline like an assault submarine.
”Those can't be sharks, can they?” someone said.
”They're a little similar, but this fin is golden. A shark's fin isn't this color.”
”Then what kind of fish is that?”
”Everyone, be careful, these aren't sharks. They're called Golden Moorish Idols. Although they aren't sharks, they aren't less dangerous than them!” Yang Ku's face was serious, as he had read a lot about monsters before that coincidentally, included the Golden Moorish Idol's attributes.
[Monster Name]: Golden Moorish Idol
[Monster Level]: Level 11-20 (Elite-tier)
[Monster Grade]: Normal (Excellent) (Perfect)
[Monster Skills]: Sharp Fin Level 1
[Monster Attribute]: Metal
[Monster Weakness]: 1. Gills on two sides.
[Monster Description]: Evolved from Moorish Idols, they inherited the characteristics of living in groups and like to live in the lush areas of the reefs and feed on the sponges and seaweed there. Because they devour a lot of sponge seaweed from the King Coral Monster, they rely on it and have grown attached to it.
”Retreat quickly! Leave this place immediately!” someone shouted from behind.
Most people evacuated from the shallow water on the beach, but a few people didn't retreat in time. The giant wave left a lot of monsters' corpses on the beach. In the rush, no one removed the corpses, but a few people took them, thinking that they could make a fortune.
The Golden Moorish Idol had already got there, their sharp golden sickle cutting through the water as if it was being cut by rows of golden scimitars.
The monster trainers who were picking up the corpses reacted only after they heard the shouts from people behind them. They quickly stood up and ran backward, but how could their speed compare to sea monsters that had mutated?
Some were rather clever. Even if they stayed in the shallow areas, they were close to the rear. Though there were fewer corpses, if they reacted quickly enough, they could still run up the shore.
But there was someone who went further, so when he noticed the scimitar fins from behind, he panicked. ”Save me, Da Hei, save me!”
”Woof!” The Adamantine German Shepherd that was carrying a few sea monster's corpses behind him growled, shook its body, and the monsters' corpses were all dropped off into the sea. Stretching its limbs, it rushed towards its owner in a frenzy.
It leaped 30 feet before it put down its paw forcefully!
A Golden Moorish Idol that was ten feet away from the owner was pawed aside and swirled in a circle in the water, dazed.
But they weren't out of danger yet; this was just one of the Golden Moorish Idols that was near them. Behind them, there were seven or eight of them coming from all directions, like a group of cunning wolves!
The monster trainer finally realized the danger, and hurriedly, he climbed on the Adamantine German Shepherd's back, tightening his legs and hugging its neck tightly. ”Da Hei, quick, let's go.”
The Adamantine German Shepherd looked at the Golden Moorish Idols that were approaching seriously and frowned. As it stepped out, its body tilted, and its right leg limped.
At this time, the burning pain moved from the wounds to the nerves. Although its hit just now had sent the Golden Moorish Idol flying, its sharp fins, which were sharper than a steel knife, had cut a long wound along the sole of its foot.
It looked around, eyes fierce and serious. Its canine tooth slowly appeared as its lips moved and it growled a low warning from its throat. At the same time, it slowly retreated, the soles of its feet stepping on the water surface making a crisp ”pa” noise, its body limping.
The Golden Moorish Idols that were circling them kept turning around, not in a hurry to attack.
”Hurry up and go. They're waiting for their companions.” With a slight change of expression, the monster trainer who was on the Adamantine German Shepherd's back spoke softly and anxiously.
The Adamantine German Shepherd ran towards the shore without hesitation, but its injured foot affected its running. Upon seeing that the Adamantine German Shepherd was trying to escape, the Golden Moorish Idols that were swimming around rushed at it like an arrow immediately!
”Woof, woof!” The Adamantine German Shepherd was barking and running, its hard as steel fur was cut off by the Golden Moorish Idols. A group of Golden Moorish Idols didn't need to leap from the water, they could easily cut its belly by just swimming around it.
The speed of the Golden Moorish Idols in the water was much faster. They dashed around it, back and forth.
Blood dyed the sea around the Adamantine German Shepherd red.
”Save me. Please help me… No, please help Da Hei. I should die, but Da Hei shouldn't.” The man who was on the Adamantine German Shepherd's back cried and shouted at the people on shore.
Some people looked cold and had no expressions. They were used to the reality of life and death. When people became greedy, they reaped what they sowed.
