East of the Adastreia Continent was Lumence City and the average level of the monsters was higher than in Eminentis City. The further one went into the eastern lands, the higher the level of the monsters, and the closer to the central area of the map, the greater was the level of the monsters.
Approximately two or three hundred kilometers from Lumence City was the eastern sea that acted as a barrier for the Adastreia Continent. All kinds of wild animals and deep beasts were peacefully lying sleeping or simply sunbathing. This was something that would continue to be routine until before the players arrived in their lands.
However, not all of the place was silent.
Roar!!!
A deafening roar shook the earth. The birds that rested their bodies gently on the branches of the trees became frightened and fluttered furiously in an attempt to get as far away as possible from the source of the sound.
Elemental foxes, mutant snakes, two-headed dogs, purple-clawed tigers, rampant monkey, etc. All kinds of strange beasts that were impossible to exist on planet Earth fled deep into the forest at full speed.
If a person were to look in the direction of the source of the sound from which the roar that frightened all the beasts came, the first thing that would catch that person’s attention would not be the blue ocean or the bright shine of the sun on the water… The first thing that would catch that person’s attention would be the giant shadow that rose above the ocean like a colossus.
But the most surprising thing was that this shadow was not a mere shadow. If one looked more closely, one could easily see that thousands and thousands of monsters seemed to be furiously chasing something, and the agglomeration of so many of them was so great that it looked like a gigantic shadow rising from the bottom of the sea.
Roar!
Another roar shook the earth and immediately after, thousands of beasts roared with their own sounds at the same time.
“Damn it! Hahahahaha!”
Amidst the furious roars of the beasts, a burst of human laughter resounded loudly. That laughter was filled with arrogance, pride, and even a hint of amusement. It was obvious that the human currently being chased did not seem overly concerned about what was going on around him.
This human was, of course, Xie Feng.
Swoosh!
Suddenly a shadow at least five meters in diameter struck forcefully towards his position. Even without looking up, Xie Feng clearly saw the shadow approaching him at astonishing speeds from the top of his head.
With a mocking smile on his lips, Xie Feng waved his spear forcefully, barely hitting the ocean water beneath his feet. A small one-meter wave rose up and he did not hesitate as he leaped toward that wave.
Before the small wave fell back down to join the ocean again, Frost Walker’s boots froze a small ice platform, letting that frozen part float in mid-air as if it was suspended.
Xie Feng stepped hard on that platform that was to his left and it floated as if by magic. Making use of that strength, he twisted his body forcefully to the side.
Bang!
With a fierce bang, the shadow that almost hit Xie Feng broke over the ocean waters.
Roar!
The same monster from before roared furiously again after missing its attack for the eleventh time.
Xie Feng, surrounded by a fierce tornado of wind that was now about twenty meters tall, looked back and sneered, “Big guy, just give up! With your snail speed don’t even dream of touching a single hair on me!”
Roar!!!
The beast roared as if it understood his words.
“Hahahaha!” Xie Feng laughed as if he was really enjoying it.
Currently, Xie Feng had already crossed the two thousand meter mark and was 2.5 kilometers deep in the ocean. From his current position, he could no longer see the coastline; this was due to the huge agglomeration of monsters chasing him tirelessly.
The exact number of beasts chasing him? Too many to count. Actually, Xie Feng stopped counting when he broke the one thousand meter depth mark and at that time the number of monsters trying to kill him was over two thousand.
Xie Feng estimated that behind his back there should be about nine or ten thousand monsters… Such a bestial lineup was already enough to end the life of any player.
Level 15 Mutant Serpents, level 20 Sea Serpent Frost Veins, level 25 Hammertail Swordfish, level 30 Sinister Shark, level 35 Purple Lightning Eel, and other types of monsters. The most terrifying of all, however, was a small monster called the Man-Eating Piranha.
These piranhas were the size of a human face and their teeth were the size of an adult fist. These teeth were so sharp that they seemed to have the capacity to dismember an entire whale.. But the most terrifying thing was that these monsters hunted in massive groups.
When Xie Feng went beyond a thousand meters, about four thousand Man-Eating Piranhas began to jump on the surface of the ocean. These monsters cracked their teeth as they swiftly jumped towards him with the intention of devouring him and, although they were only level 5 monsters, Xie Feng did not have much confidence in dealing with all these monsters unless he used high-rank spells. Even he could fall if he was careless.
Apart from the Man-Eating Piranhas there were also crabs the size of a basin and lobsters that were a meter and a half long. All of them hunted in large groups and even the level thirty monsters did not dare to treat them lightly.
In addition to these normal monsters, there were also at least two to three hundred bosses in the tide of monsters chasing Xie Feng. These bosses ranged from Lord rank to Emperor rank.
The ferociously roaring beast was precisely the last boss that came out of the ocean. An Emperor grade boss.
[Crocodile Head Turtle: Emperor grade boss –
[Level: 45
[HP: 1.500.000
[Description: Overlord in its region. Few creatures dare to offend.
[Skill(s):
[Ice Breath / Shockwave / Ice Lightning / Lightning Bolt / Lightning Tail].
The turtle was approximately five hundred meters long and its height was about three hundred and fifty meters when it stretched its crocodile head to the top. Its tail, which was over two hundred meters long, lashed furiously after certain time intervals with the intention of crushing Xie Feng into pieces.
Each flick of the Crocodile-headed Turtle’s tail killed several monsters that stood in its way. This naturally attracted the displeasure of many beasts, but none dared to attack the giant turtle.
The most terrifying thing was that, although it was a turtle, it was not at all slow. Its movements were fluid and due to its large size, it covered a huge area every time it moved.
Fortunately, Xie Feng had already understood the movements of this beast, so he simply scoffed and continued charging deep into the ocean.
What seemed strange to Xie Feng the most was that after crossing the 2.5 kilometer mark, there were no longer any monsters joining in to hunt him. This was a pity, since the more the better for him.
[Ding!… Your pet Ling Long asks for permission to leave the pet space].
Xie Feng blinked in confusion before finally understanding.
Ling Long was an unknown dragon species that loved battle. Unfortunately, during the travel in the caverns, she was unable to hunt any monsters because the place was desolate.
As Xie Feng’s soul-bound pet, Ling Long could clearly see everything happening outside, and, seeing so many monsters, she became impatient, wishing to go out to hunt some prey.
After thinking about it for a few seconds, Xie Feng finally let her out.
Flash!
In a flash of light, Ling Long appeared directly in his embrace. She gave him a sweet friendly smile and anyone who saw her at this moment acting so flirtatious and friendly could never associate her with an unknown bloodthirsty little dragon.
“You can go hunting but you can’t go near that turtle, nor that fifty-meter squid, nor that giant whale either as it has a very high defense. Also, you must quickly return to me when your mana drops below 1/4. Understood?” Xie Feng hugged the little dragoness tightly and sternly explained as he ran wildly forward.
“Puuh!”
Ling Long looked at him with her bright blue eyes and nodded repeatedly as she squirmed in his embrace.
“Good. Then go!” Xie Feng tossed her into the air as he looked behind him.
Ling Long used the momentum to land on the head of a level 25 giant snake. Her small dragon claws took on a reddish glow as she activated her skill Annihilation Claw and slashed downward with all her might.
-6102
The giant snake couldn’t even react properly before its health bar was completely emptied. By the time the beast fell noisily and its nearby companions reacted, Ling Long had already activated Instant Flap to appear above the head of another giant snake.
-12204! (Critical Hit!)
In less than two seconds, two level 25 monsters, the same level Ling Long was, had died pitifully.
Ling Long stepped in and out of the enemy crowd, unleashing a one-sided massacre. In just eight seconds, nearly twenty monsters of considerably high level had perished under her claws.
Suddenly a level thirty Emperor Grade Boss shot towards Ling Long. The seahorse-like monster released a poisonous mist that even Xie Feng had to protect himself against it.
Swoosh!
With a flap, Ling Long appeared above the Emperor Boss’s head. Her claws still glowing and a second before her skill Annihilation Claw went into cooldown, she slashed down mercilessly.
-700.000!
