Chapter 836 - Sea Beast (2/2)

A large wave rose, along with a giant, broken tail that broke through the surface. The rotten tail tumbled through the air and crashed into the ocean.

The waves caused the entire fleet to shake violently. Without the experienced Longboat tribesmen, if other people were controlling the boat, they might have capsized already. They were so far away, yet were already so affected. What would’ve happened if they were any closer? They did not want to think about it.

The waves slammed into the boats, sea foam bringing with it various pieces of rotten flesh and a horrible stench. Scattered across the deck were rotten flesh clumps, equally reeking.

Far away, a giant figure broke through the surface, revealing a part of itself, turned, then dove back into the ocean. No one could see it clearly but knew that it was gigantic.

Only a small part of it could be seen but it was already gigantic. So how big was the entire beast then?!

The most shocking realisation was that– there were more than one!

More giant figures appeared far from the fleet.

“What… what’s that?!”

“Why are there so many sea beasts? We’ve never encountered anything like this before.”

“These beasts are very strange, it’s as if…” A Longboat warrior stuttered as he stared out into the sea, afraid to continue.

“It smells like death,” said Gan Qie, his eyes on the ocean surface.

“You mean…” Mu Fa stared at him in shock, waiting for an explanation.

“They’re all dead.” Gan Qie kept it brief.

“You mean those gigantic beasts we saw were all dead?!” Some of them did not understand. If they were dead, how were they moving?

But there were many reanimated corpses in the desert made of dead people. But those were humans and these were gigantic sea beasts!

So dead beasts could be turned into reanimated corpses too?!

It was a sunny day out but everyone felt a chill down their spine, as if someone dumped a bucket of cold water on their heads.

If those beasts attacked, will they even survive? They were out in the ocean!

“Look! They’ve left!” cried someone excitedly.

Other people turned to see those beasts, who were still mostly hidden but raising huge splashes on the surface, turn away from them.

But…

“That’s where Shao Xuan went!” gasped Mu Fa.

“So the trouble Shao Xuan mentioned, was he talking about these?”

“Their target must be Shao Xuan,” said a Mang tribesman.

If Shao Xuan had not left, and stayed on the boat, wouldn’t these beasts have attacked the entire fleet?

If that happened, what were the chances of survival? Mu Fa did not want to think about it.

Meanwhile, after Shao Xuan left the fleet, he saw the occasional rotten body break the surface, some with bones peaking out of their flesh.

So Yi Xiang could enslave sea beasts too!

The beasts appearing on the ocean surface all had one target- Shao Xuan, who was flying in the air.

Sea beasts appeared from all directions. Most of them had lived their entire lives deep in the ocean, rarely ever coming up to the surface. They were supposed to be long dead too, yet today, they were out in the sun!

Shao Xuan did not know how many beasts Yi Xiang had enslaved but he was relieved to have left the fleet. He looked down at the partially exposed beasts and then patted Chacha. “Continue straight ahead!”

Chacha was much faster than the beasts. While Shao Xuan did not know how fast these beasts were when they were alive, right now, they were slower as dead reanimated corpses.

The horde was slowly left far behind as Shao Xuan flew according to the route in his plan. He could find a safe place to hide from this attack but he knew there would be a next one, then another one afterwards.

Shao Xuan had a feeling that if he avoided Yi Xiang’s attack now, he would have to pay a bigger price next round.

He had no choice. He must face Yi Xiang!
